Chapter 69 Bai Yueguang
While Song Yuyan was still talking to the old lady and the others, someone came in to report that the auspicious time was approaching and that they needed to carry the eldest son to the front yard for the third-day bathing ceremony.
The old lady and Song Yuning said goodbye to Song Yuyan, told her to take good care of her health, and then they got up and went to the front yard to watch the baby's third-day baptism ceremony.
Nanny Xisan carefully took off the baby's swaddling clothes and clothes one by one, and then gently placed the baby in a basin filled with warm water.
The little guy's hands and feet are full of strength and keep moving around while he cries loudly, sounding very healthy and strong.
"This cry is so loud, it will surely make a big splash in the future!"
Many people were amazed at how loud the baby's cry was.
There were many people coming to watch the ceremony, so the gifts the children received were quite generous.
Gold rings, jade rings, and even specially customized small goldfish-shaped ornaments.
The old lady was particularly generous and gave a fist-sized golden pig made of pure gold as a gift.
Moreover, the back of this golden pig is inlaid with many colorful gems, making it look particularly gorgeous and dazzling.
This year happens to be the Year of the Pig, and the child is born in the Year of the Pig, so the old lady asked someone to specially make a golden pig as a gift.
After all, the child had just been born, and Nanny Xisan didn't dare let the child stay here for too long. If the child got sick later, she would be blamed.
She quickly wrapped the child and handed it to the wet nurse. At Princess Shun's signal, the wet nurse carried the child back to Song Yuyan's yard.
As soon as the child left, the banquet in the front yard was about to begin.
The long seats and the small seats were separate. Song Yuning and the other three naturally could not follow the old lady, so they found a place to sit down first, waiting to go to the flower hall for dinner.
As soon as he sat down, Song Yuning heard several girls talking together, and the focus of their conversation was Xiao Yunzhan.
"Have you heard? The Seventh Prince has returned to the capital."
A lady in green nodded, then said in a somewhat melancholy tone, "Of course I know. I also know that the Seventh Prince brought a girl back with him. I heard that this girl might be the Seventh Prince's future consort."
"Ah!" another girl exclaimed in surprise, then asked curiously, "Is this true? Then who is this girl? Is she the daughter of some aristocratic family?"
"Hmph!" The lady in green snorted coldly, and said in a sour tone: "She is not the daughter of a noble family, but just a country girl."
"Huh?" The other girls were all stunned when they heard this, and then someone started to murmur, "No way, how could the Seventh Prince fall for a village girl? He's a high and mighty prince, of unparalleled status, how could he marry a village girl?"
"Yeah, I find it strange too." Another girl chimed in, "The Seventh Prince is a prince. He can have any woman he wants. Why would he fall for that village girl?"
"Who knows?" Miss Green rolled her eyes, then said sarcastically, "Maybe she just likes those country girls who haven't seen the world. She finds them fresh and interesting."
"Oh, stop making wild guesses." At this time, the girl in white, who had been silent all this time, spoke up, "Maybe there's something else going on. Let's not make wild guesses here."
"Hmph, what could be the hidden secret?" Miss Green curled her lips in disdain, then suddenly lowered her voice and said, "I think it must be that village girl who seduced the Seventh Prince, so she was brought back to the capital. Otherwise, with the Seventh Prince's status and position, how could he possibly be interested in her?"
"Shh..." The girl in white quickly made a hushed gesture, then looked around warily. When she found that no one was paying attention, she breathed a sigh of relief and said to the girl in green, "Keep your voice down. Don't say things like that. If someone hears, it will be terrible."
The girl in green looked around, and was afraid that the gossip would spread, so she sat there angrily and didn't say anything.
These girls are now of similar age to Xiao Yunzhan and meet the requirements for selection as concubines. They are all looking forward to Xiao Yunzhan's return.
These girls have been taught since childhood that it is an honor to marry into the royal family. Now the emperor has only one son, the seventh prince, and he has not yet married.
Naturally, they also thought about becoming the seventh prince's consort.
However, before they could make a move, Xiao Yunzhan came back, but he was accompanied by a woman, which undoubtedly poured cold water on the girls who were full of expectations.
Song Yuning was sitting not far away and heard all of this. He was stunned and soon remembered what Xiao Yunzhan said when he left.
Xiao Yunzhan told her not to believe any rumors and wait for him to explain to her. Perhaps, this was the rumor he was talking about.
Thinking of this, Song Yuning's mood did not improve, she just felt very irritated.
After this incident with Gu Zhangnian, Song Yuning was originally very satisfied with Xiao Yunzhan, but at this moment, she couldn't help but fall into deep thought.
As a prince, Xiao Yunzhan will definitely be surrounded by many women in the future. Is she really willing to compete with other women for this man?
Song Yuning sighed deeply. If she had a choice, she would rather marry a scholar like Song Yuwan.
She couldn't control the prince, but she was confident that she could prevent a scholar who had no power or influence and whose family background was not as good as hers from taking concubines for twenty years.
Twenty years later, her children will surely have grown up, and by that time, she will no longer care what the man thinks.
But now Xiao Yunzhan likes her, and no matter what, he will definitely not let go and watch Song Yuning marry another man.
"Ninth sister, what's wrong with you?" Song Yuyao's voice suddenly came to her ears, and Song Yuning woke up as if from a dream.
Song Yurou and Song Yuyao were looking at her worriedly. Song Yuning asked, "What's wrong?"
"Why are you in a daze for no reason? I called you several times just now and you didn't answer me. What's wrong?" Song Yuyao asked.
Song Yurou also looked at Song Yuning, wanting to see how she would answer.
Song Yuning shook his head: "It's nothing, I was just thinking about a problem, and I didn't expect that I was a little obsessed with it.
Is there going to be a banquet up ahead? Let's go too." Seeing that everyone around was leaving, Song Yuning quickly changed the subject.
Seeing that Song Yuning didn't want to say anything more, Song Yurou and the other two tactfully didn't ask any more questions. The three of them went towards the flower hall together.
Things will naturally straighten out when the time comes, so why bother yourself with trivial matters? Xiao Yunzhan will never let her go and marry another man. Since that is the case, she will have to gain more weight in Xiao Yunzhan's heart.
Make Xiao Yunzhan like her more. The person who is moved first will always be in a weak position in the relationship. She wants to become the white moonlight in Xiao Yunzhan's heart that no one can replace.
Only in this way can she live a better life with Xiao Yunzhan.
