Children are very troublesome, and before long, it was almost the day of the eldest princess' birthday.

During this period, Concubine Zheng gave birth safely and naturally, also to a princess.

Now, there were two princesses in the palace, but the eldest princess was the first after all, so she was naturally the most loved and valued.

Shen Zhiyao didn't care much about this. With Bo Muxi's health, there would be no less princes and princesses in the future. If she cared about any of them, wouldn't she be depressed?

Shen Zhiyao had figured it out long ago, and she had forgotten all the people, things, and events that caused her internal friction.

On this day, Shen Zhiyao took her child to Fengyi Palace as usual to play with the Queen and the Fourth Prince.

The Queen was drawing something on paper, while the Fourth Prince was sitting on the chaise longue and playing happily. When he saw the eldest princess, he smiled with shining eyes and stretched out his chubby hands from time to time, looking very happy.

The Fourth Prince cannot speak yet and can only babble. He is so adorable that Shen Zhiyao couldn't help but pick him up and kiss him several times.

"This child is strange. He rarely lets others do what they want. Yesterday, my mother wanted to kiss him, but before I could even kiss him, he started crying as if he had lost his toy..." The queen shook her head helplessly.

Shen Zhiyao smiled and put the Fourth Prince back on the chaise longue, then turned to look at the Queen and said with a smile, "Children are shy, that's normal. I come here often, so I'm familiar with him. I kiss him often, so the Fourth Prince is familiar with my scent."

"The front court has been very busy recently, and the emperor hasn't entered the harem for some time. The eldest princess' birthday is coming soon, and I guess he doesn't have the energy to be distracted. I have mentioned it to the emperor, and he gave me full authority to take care of it. However, the emperor also attaches great importance to it and has given me many instructions." The queen said, holding a pen.

It turned out that she was probably planning for the eldest princess' birthday.

"As for the first birthday party, there's no need to make it too grand. Just do something simple. I don't care too much about it." Shen Zhiyao walked to the queen's side and took a look at the contents on the paper. It was indeed calculating the birthday expenses.

"Even if you don't care, I can't let the eldest princess down. The rules are all ready. I think the eldest princess' birthday should be celebrated according to the standards of the fourth prince." The queen said with a smile.

"Thank you, Queen." Shen Zhiyao said, and then turned to the eldest princess with a smile: "Why don't you thank your mother?"

The princess naturally can't speak...

The energetic eldest princess blinked twice, then crawled over to grab the fourth prince's toy, shouting "ah ah ah".

The fourth prince laughed and shook his head, but was pushed several times by the eldest princess.

The fourth prince was bullied by his sister, but he still looked very happy and his saliva was flowing out.

Shen Zhiyao was speechless for a moment. She took a few steps forward and poked the eldest princess on the forehead: "Why do you always bully your fourth brother, kid..."

The queen was so distressed that she quickly put down her pen, stood up, picked up the eldest princess and coaxed her: "The eldest princess is still young, why are you so serious..."

The eldest princess lying in the queen's arms was not at all squeamish and just giggled foolishly.

"Empress, I don't see you pampering the Fourth Prince so much..." Shen Zhiyao complained with a smile.

"How can boys be compared with girls? Girls are delicate and need to be pampered, unlike boys who are born to be strong and tough." The queen kissed the eldest princess again, then reluctantly put her back on the couch.

Shen Zhiyao pursed her lips: "Empress, if you spoil her like this, what if she gets into trouble in the future?"

"When she grows up, I will teach her the rules. She is still young..." The Queen rolled her eyes at her and said, "What kind of trouble can a girl get into? I am here, nothing will happen."

The Queen was so domineering that Shen Zhiyao could only purse her lips helplessly.

As soon as the eldest princess returned to the couch, she went to attack the fourth prince again as if for revenge.

This time, she used all her strength, raised her butt and pressed the Fourth Prince under her, screaming in excitement.

Shen Zhiyao couldn't bear it any longer and slapped her on the butt again: "I understand, you are not interested in toys, you just simply like to bully your fourth brother..."

The eldest princess' body was still soft and she didn't have much strength. After being slapped by her mother, she fell on the couch with her legs spread out.

The Fourth Prince was so surprised when he saw this that he sat up and clapped his hands excitedly at the Princess.

The eldest princess was not at all squeamish. She giggled and climbed up, shouting and laughing at her mother and the queen.

The two pairs of mothers and children simply played together for a while.

It suddenly began to drizzle outside. The Queen was tired from playing, so she sat on the couch holding the Fourth Prince in her arms, and said with a smile, "Time flies so fast, a year has passed in the blink of an eye. I still remember this time last year, it was not even daybreak yet, and you started giving birth..."

"Yes... At that time, I thought that the birth was not at the right time, and I thought that I could only face it alone, but the Queen arrived at the right time."

"Stop talking nonsense. How could I leave you alone to deal with it? Considering the weather, why don't we just eat the hotpot later?" The queen said with a smile.

Shen Zhiyao has always loved eating hotpot, so naturally she wouldn't object.

After a while, a steaming pot was placed in the hall. It was raining heavily outside, and they did not close the windows. The fresh air that kept floating in from outside made the aroma of the food inside the house even more intense.

The fourth prince and the eldest princess were immediately tempted by the aroma and shouted for food.

These two children have been fed complementary foods for a long time. They not only drink milk, but naturally they yearn for food with more flavors.

"Zhiyao, I'll ask Shijin to get some cooked beef bone soup from the kitchen without adding any seasoning, and cook some noodles and quail eggs for these two children separately. That will be their complementary food for today. It won't hurt to give them a little bit." The Queen smiled and asked for Shen Zhiyao's opinion.

"Okay, it's okay to eat less. Look at how greedy they are." Shen Zhiyao nodded with a smile.

So they simply waited for Shijin to finish cooking the small pot and watched the wet nurse feed the two children.

The two children seldom get to eat something so delicious, and they ate it with great relish.

"The osmanthus wine that was just brewed the day before yesterday is very fragrant. Would you like to drink some?" the queen asked with a smile.

"Great, I haven't had a drink with the Queen alone yet! The rain is coming at the right time, let's have a few drinks to liven up the atmosphere." Shen Zhiyao was very excited.

So they ate what was in the pot while watching the wet nurse feed the child carefully.

It is so pleasant to drink while listening to the sound of rain outside and occasionally chatting.

Immersed in such a heartwarming scene, Shen Zhiyao felt dazed. When she first came here, she often missed modern life.

But now, she has a husband, close friends, and a lovely daughter here...

She hasn't missed modern life for a long time, and has even gradually accepted her current life.

Even though both of them could drink quite a bit, they still felt a little tipsy after frequent clinking of glasses.

Shen Zhiyao just felt a little dizzy, but was still awake, probably because she had just entered a state of being slightly tipsy.

"You've drunk a lot today, but are you drunk?" the queen asked with blushing cheeks.

Shen Zhiyao leaned towards the Queen with a smile, resting her face on the Queen's shoulder and whispered, "With my alcohol tolerance, I probably won't get drunk... But looking at the Queen's charming expression when she drinks, I'm about to get drunk... The Queen is so beautiful..."

Shen Zhiyao said, and rubbed against the Queen's shoulder...
