Before this, in the entire Zhou Dynasty, no one had ever caught these things at the prince’s first birthday banquet.
Not to ntion princes and princesses, even mbers of the royal family and even the common people rarely see it.
The so-called one-year-old celebration is basically just a formality. What does a child who has just turned one year old know? It is just the result of careful arrangents by the parents.
It’s okay to do it behind closed doors at ho, but if you want to do it for your friends and family, so families have even started preparing one or two months in advance.
The probability of an accident happening is extrely small.
But it just so happened that Emperor Jingwen encountered such a ridiculous scene. Look at what his youngest son was holding in his hands?
An abacus the size of a palm and a golden ingot.
These two things are fine, but as for his love of money, it is barely reasonable for him to work in the Ministry of Revenue in the future.
But rouge and belly band… are clearly things for won!
The ancients were quite superstitious about activities like the “Zhou-Zhua” ceremony, and they believed that a child’s personality was already ford during childhood. Otherwise, there wouldn’t be the saying “You can tell a child’s future by looking at him at the age of three, and his old age by looking at him at the age of seven.”
But if that’s the case, then what does his youngest son say now?
Not only is there a piece of rouge, but there is also a belly band. Could it be a sign that her son will beco a sex maniac when he grows up?
Even the aristocratic families value elegance and restraint, and the royal family is even more so.
If the royal family wants to convince the gentry of the world, they should set an example. The word “lustful” is a very disgraceful thing even for the royal family.
After seeing this scene, after being stunned for a while, so concubines below couldn’t help but laughed softly.
The little prince is so useless. Let’s see how the imperial concubine can be so proud in the future!
If they gave birth to such a son, wouldn’t they be so ashad that they would never be able to leave the palace again?
“My Lady, please don’t be upset. The little prince is of noble status, so it won’t be a problem even if there are more won around him in the future.”
There was an air of teasing and mockery in these words, and the usual fear was completely gone.
They are usually closer to the Queen and have long disliked the Imperial Concubine. They have finally waited for such an opportunity and have been holding it back for so long, so they must indulge themselves, right?
What’s more, with the emperor around, how could the imperial concubine, who had just lost face, still be so rampant?
After the words fell, the Queen, who was sitting at the top, paused and thought to herself, “Idiot.”
At this ti, you dare to say such words.
In the eyes of several concubines, after this incident, the little prince, who was already treated coldly, would inevitably be completely disliked by the emperor. Even if she was an imperial concubine, what could she do?
But after they said this, the face of Emperor Jingwen at the table beca darker and uglier.
These ladies are probably in trouble.
But this is none of her business, they just wanted to make fun of themselves.
Before Ye Shuo could show any sympathy, the next mont, he saw Emperor Jingwen glaring at them with a sullen face: “Lu Zhaoyi, Yang Jieyu, Wu Jieyu… your words and deeds are inappropriate, and you will be punished to reflect on your mistakes for three months.”
[T/L = Lady of Bright Deportnt (昭儀; zhāoyí)
Lady of Handso Fairness (婕妤; jiéyú)]
“Emperor, Emperor…” Several people were obviously panicked. They couldn’t understand when the emperor should have disliked the little prince, he punished them instead?
Seeing this, Ye Shuo couldn’t help but sigh. There was nothing he could do. Who told him to be so young? How narrow-minded did the emperor have to be to argue with a one-year-old child?
What’s the difference between what these people just did and saying that your child is bad in front of the child’s parents?
Wouldn’t my cheap dad be angry?
Emperor Jingwen wanted to say sothing, but he held it back when his eyes t the baby’s tender face.
But Ye Shuo seed not to understand. He kept shaking his two little hands and the abacus in his hands made a clattering sound. The noise gave Emperor Jingwen a headache.
At that ti, the red mandarin duck belly band swayed up and down with the little prince from ti to ti, and it made Emperor Jingwen’s temples throb.
It’s simply… outrageous!!
“What are you still standing there for? Hurry up and take the things from the little prince’s hands!” Aren’t you embarrassed enough?
Seeing the frantic movents of the maid and the palace servants, Emperor Jingwen took a deep breath, looked around, and said word by word: “No one is allowed to tell anyone about what happened today, understand?”
Upon hearing this, the Queen took the lead in agreeing, “Yes.”
Really unable to stay any longer, Emperor Jingwen ca with a cold face and a tentative mind, but finally left in anger.
A mischievous look flashed across Ye Shuo’s eyes.
Not long after walking out of the gate of Qiuwu Palace, Eunuch Wang Ziquan trotted up to catch up.
Emperor Jingwen then realized that the imperial concubine had actually rehearsed the performance in advance.
“Then why did this happen?”
Upon hearing this, Wang Ziquan opened his mouth but did not dare to answer.
Everything was fine before, but everything changed after the emperor took out the jade seal.
Children are ignorant to begin with, and once the routine is disrupted, it may trigger a chain reaction.
Although Wang Ziquan did not say it, Emperor Jingwen soon thought of this, and his face turned even darker.
So is this considered shooting oneself in the foot?
He wanted to test the Duke of Zhen, but he forgot that child knew nothing and ended up making things worse.
Emperor Jingwen learned his lesson imdiately and secretly warned himself that he would never do that again next ti, because children are really uncontrollable!
Emperor Jingwen returned to the Qinzheng Hall not long after.
When the crown prince saw him, he was shocked.
Didn’t they say that Father went to attend the little prince’s one-year-old celebration? How co he ca back so soon?
[T/L = Referring to the servants.]
The most important thing is that his complexion has beco so bad.
The prince couldn’t help but asked with concern: “Father, what happened in the middle?”
In the past, if the prince had asked this question, Emperor Jingwen would have answered in a gentle tone, but this ti, he really couldn’t say it, and even said with a hint of sha: “Do your job well, be careful with your words and actions, and don’t ask about things that are not your business.”
The prince beca nervous instantly after being scolded for no apparent reason.
Did he, did he say sothing wrong…
The prince looked calm on the surface, but he was actually extrely panicked, so he really didn’t dare to continue asking.
When he returned to his palace and inquired, he found out that it was the little prince who was causing the trouble.
His mind suddenly relaxed, and after understanding the whole cause and effect, the prince was at a loss whether to laugh or cry.
The other side.
After the emperor left, other concubines also left one after another, and the happy one-year-old banquet suddenly turned into a ss.
Zhao Chongrong looked at the little prince who was still sitting on the ground and looked pitiful with a little worry.
These were all caused by adults, but they blad a child.
Ever since the day the imperial concubine gave birth in her palace and the little prince took the initiative to ask for her daughter’s silver bracelet, Zhao Chongrong had already been sowhat concerned about the little prince.
When Zhao Chongrong found the pill, she beca even more conflicted.
Now that sothing like this has happened again, it is really heartbreaking.
In particular, Zhao Chongrong discovered that the pair of silver bracelets were still on the little prince’s wrists!
At this ti, Zhao Chongrong didn’t know that the poor little thing in her eyes was actually the culprit of the whole incident.
Ye Shuo actually had a pretty good impression of this Zhao Chongrong. Noticing that she looked strange, he couldn’t help but grin and waved at her.
Zhao Chongrong felt even more uncomfortable now.
Resisting the urge to look back, Zhao Chongrong tightly grasped the handkerchief and left silently.
I just hope that the Imperial Concubine won’t bla him too harshly…
A stick of incense later, the mont the door of Qiuwu Palace closed, Concubine Rong took a deep breath and looked at her son with gritted teeth.
This little thing, how could it fail at the critical mont!
Concubine Rong, who was unaware of the inside story, must have been angry at the mont, especially because the little one had behaved so well in the previous month that even she was fooled. Finally, at the one-year-old banquet, such a thing suddenly happened to her. Concubine Rong was so angry that she was about to die.
Especially when she thought of the emperor’s expression, Concubine Rong beca even more anxious.
What if he is really disliked by the emperor because of this incident?
The Sixth Prince on the side looked at this one, then looked at that one, and also felt at a loss. However, out of habit, he still helped to plead, “Concubine Rong, my brother is still young, please don’t…”
“It’s none of your business. Just stay aside.” Concubine Rong gritted her teeth and walked straight towards her son.
The Sixth Prince was about to step in front when he was stopped by Nanny Jing. He was extrely anxious for a mont.
Nanny Jing, however, was not worried at all. As a mother, how could she really bear to be angry with her child?
The maids like Su Xin, Su Yue, Su Qiu, who were not married yet, had no idea. They bit their lower lips and knelt down with a plop. “My queen, the little prince is young and doesn’t understand anything. It’s our fault and our carelessness that caused this to happen. If you want to punish him, punish us!”
[T/L = Concubines are also referred to as queen by their servants only – to satisfy their vanity you know? – as the Empress is the only legitimate wife of the emperor as well as the mother of the nation.]
“I didn’t realize that he had bribed you too.” Looking at the little thing that was surrounded, Concubine Rong almost laughed out of anger.
There is no way. The little prince is so lovable on weekdays, especially when he reaches out for a hug, it makes people’s hearts lt and makes people want to defend on him unconsciously.
Even Concubine Rong is like this, let alone these maids.
Ye Shuo obviously knew that his mother was angry, so when she ca over, he quickly offered her the rouge in his hand, and took advantage of his young age to softly call out, “Mom.”
There was a thin mist in Ruifeng’s slightly raised eyes, which made her look pitiful.
[T/L = Ruifeng’s eyes are slender eyes with pupils close to the corners of the eyes showing a little smile itself.]
Concubine Rong couldn’t bear it anymore.
No one knew where the little thing learned this, but when there were no outsiders around, he never called herself mother. He always called her mother when she is angry, which was so annoying that Concubine Rong couldn’t get angry even if she wanted to.
If just one word “mom” is not enough, then add a kiss.
The ancients were reserved by nature, and Concubine Rong had never seen such a scene before. She was soon embraced by the child, and then kissed on both cheeks, which made Concubine Rong lose her temper imdiately.
“You can’t even speak clearly on weekdays, why are you suddenly calling mom now, huh?”
Faced with Concubine Rong’s questioning, Ye Shuo chose to play dumb, leaning into his mother’s arms, pretending not to understand what she said.
“Your Majesty, the little prince is also thinking about you. Look at this rouge.” Nanny Jing spoke at the right ti.
Concubine Rong looked down and saw that he seed to be holding sothing in his hand.
The crisis was resolved in an instant.
Everybody is helping him.
Ye Shuole grinned and winked at the Sixth Prince at an angle where his mother couldn’t see.
The Sixth Prince couldn’t hold it back and burst out laughing.
The entire Qiuwu Palace quickly returned to its forr ease.
Two days passed in a flash, after all, there is no wall that is impenetrable in this world.
Although Emperor Jingwen had issued an order not to spread the news outside, the rumor could not be stopped from spreading, and people who wanted to watch the fun gradually erged.
That afternoon, when Emperor Jingwen woke up from his lunch break, before he could summon all the ministers to the Qinzheng Hall for an audience, he heard Wang Ziquan’s ssage that Prince Jin had arrived, and with him was Prince Su, who was always low-key.
Prince of Jin is the younger brother of Emperor Jingwen. Because of his elder brother, he has been sowhat lawless since childhood.
As for Prince Su, he had been assisting Emperor Jingwen when he was still the crown prince, so he now has a very good relationship with Emperor Jingwen.
What are these two people doing here?
Emperor Jingwen was puzzled for a mont, but still told Wang Ziquan to summon them in.
However, Emperor Jingwen soon regretted his decision.
He shouldn’t have believed that his brother ca to him for any serious business.
As expected, as soon as the Prince of Jin ca in, he opened his mouth and said, “Royal brother, I heard that your son caught a belly band and rouge when he was one year old. Is this true?”
Well, the sha was indeed brought to the royal family.
With a “swish”, Emperor Jingwen’s face turned dark in an instant.
