Traveling through ancient times, the spy princess had everything going smoothly
Chapter 540: Washing Ceremony
The wet nurse hurried forward, carefully picked up the little master, and went out to feed him.
The emperor looked at Qinghe and said with concern:
"He girl, you just gave birth, you need to rest well.
Father has already arranged the third-day bathing ceremony, and the Ministry of Rites will take care of it. Just focus on recuperating and don’t worry about these trivial matters.”
Qing He bowed slightly, his eyes full of gratitude:
"Thank you for your concern, Father. I feel really bad for making you and Mother work so hard for me."
The queen walked to the bedside and gently patted Qinghe's hand:
"What are you talking about? You gave birth to three little princes for the royal family, which is a great achievement.
Just take care of yourself, the children will be taken care of by Ye'er and the nurses."
The Crown Princess also smiled and agreed:
"Just relax, sister-in-law. If you need anything, just tell the servants. I know you have a lot of good things here, but I have also prepared some nourishing things for you. I will have someone send them over in a few days."
Qing He quickly thanked her: "Thank you, sister-in-law. You're sorry for your trouble."
The Emperor gave Baili Ye a few more instructions, then left with the Empress, the Crown Prince, and the Crown Princess.
After everyone left, Baili Ye turned to the housekeeper in the mansion and said, "The princess gave birth to three sons today. This is a great joyous event. Everyone in the mansion has worked hard. I will reward everyone with 20 taels of silver."
When the butler heard this, his face was filled with surprise, and he immediately knelt down to express his gratitude:
"Thank you for the reward, Your Highness. Your Highness and Your Highness are very happy. It is a blessing for our family. We all hope that the young princes will grow up safely."
The maids beside them also knelt down and saluted: "Thank you, Your Majesty, for the reward."
Baili Ye looked at everyone with a satisfied smile on his face:
"Everyone should be alert these days and prepare well for the third-day bathing ceremony. Don't make any mistakes."
The butler quickly responded:
"Don't worry, Your Majesty, I will make sure everything is arranged.
This third birthday is a big event for the young princes, we have to make it a lively occasion."
After that, the housekeeper said to the maids:
"You girls, hurry down and prepare, don't delay the bathing ceremony."
The maids responded with laughter and quickly dispersed to do their work.
Baili Ye looked at the busy crowd, turned his head to look at Qinghe on the bed, and said gently:
"Xiao He, you haven't slept since last night, and you gave birth to three more children. I asked the kitchen to make you something to eat. Do you want to eat something?"
Qinghe smiled and nodded and said:
"I am indeed tired. Give me some rice soup!"
Baili Ye brought the rice soup over, sat down beside the bed, gently helped Qing He up, let her lean on the pillow, scooped up a spoonful of rice soup, put it to her mouth and blew it gently to cool it, then handed it to Qing He's mouth and said gently:
"Xiao He, be careful, it's hot, drink slowly."
Qing He looked at his focused look, and was deeply moved. She said softly:
"I'll do it myself. You've been busy for so long, you must be exhausted."
Baili Ye shook his head and said with a smile:
“I am full of energy now, but you gave birth to three children for me, which was the hardest thing.
I'm just serving some rice soup, why would I be tired?
Be good and let me feed you."
Qinghe had no choice but to open her mouth and drink the spoonful of rice soup.
The warm rice soup slid down her throat, making her tired body feel much more comfortable.
"How does this rice soup taste? If it's not to your liking, I'll ask the kitchen to make something else." Baili Ye asked with concern.
Qing He swallowed the rice soup and said with a smile:
"It's delicious. Thank you, Aye."
Baili Ye continued to feed her rice soup while saying:
"I asked the housekeeper to take the maids down to prepare for the third-day bathing ceremony. You just gave birth, and what you need most is a good rest so that you will be energetic for the third-day bathing ceremony.
I won't go anywhere for the next two days, I'll just stay here to take care of you."
Qing He leaned on the pillow and looked at Baili Ye, her eyes full of love:
"Aye is the best. I'm tired and want you to sleep with me for a while. Come up quickly."
Baili Ye put down the bowl, gently wiped a drop of rice soup from the corner of Qinghe's mouth, and said with a smile:
"Okay, I'll sleep with you right now. My Xiao He is really considerate of her husband and feels sorry for me for not getting enough rest."
He carefully lay down beside Qinghe and gently held her in his arms, his movements so gentle as if he was afraid of hurting her.
"Go to sleep, Xiaohe, I'm here and I'm not going anywhere."
Baili Ye kissed her on the forehead and whispered softly, his voice full of tenderness and doting.
Qinghe rubbed against his arms, found a comfortable position, closed her eyes, and a happy smile appeared on her lips.
"Aye, I feel really at ease with you around." Her voice was a little sleepy, yet full of sweetness.
Baili Ye gently stroked her hair, again and again, his movements slow and gentle, as if he wanted to convey all his love to her through this soft touch.
"Go to sleep and have a sweet dream."
The room was very quiet, with only the sound of the two people's even breathing.
Soon the day of the third bath arrived, and the palace was decorated with lights and full of joy.
Early in the morning, Dasheng's civil and military ministers, their families, and royal relatives arrived one after another with gifts.
Lord Wang, the Minister of Rites, was the first to enter the palace, with a smile on his face and an exquisite gift box in his hands:
"Congratulations, Prince and Princess, on the birth of your precious son. This happy third birthday is truly an auspicious sign for my great prosperity!
This is a small gift that I have prepared for the young princes. I wish them great blessings and growth.”
Baili Ye smiled and walked over to take the gift box:
“You are so polite, Lord Wang. Thank you for your blessing and generous gift.
It's really hard work for you to preside over the bathing ceremony today."
Lord Wang waved his hand quickly:
"Your Majesty, you are too kind. It is my humble official's honor to preside over the third-day bathing ceremony for the young princes."
At this time, the prince and princess also arrived.
The Crown Princess took Qing He's hand and said affectionately:
"Sister-in-law, look at your complexion. You have recovered really well. The three little princes are becoming more and more popular as they grow older."
As she spoke, she signaled the maid behind her to present the gift.
"This is what I prepared specially for you and the children. They are all good things for nourishing and beautifying the skin. There are also jade pendants for the young princes, which symbolize peace and good fortune."
Qing He said gratefully: "Sister-in-law is always so considerate, thank you sister-in-law."
Royal relatives also came forward to offer their blessings and gifts.
An elderly prince stroked his beard and said with a smile:
"Yer, your three children are the treasures of the royal family. They will surely become important national treasures in the future."
Baili Ye responded respectfully: "Thanks to the emperor's good words, Qinghe and I will definitely teach them well."
Among the crowd that came to congratulate, the Prime Minister also came with gifts. He bowed slightly and saluted:
"Your Majesty, Princess, congratulations! These three young princes will become great men in the future.
These are some enlightenment books I found for the young princes. I hope they can help them in their academic enlightenment.”
Baili Ye took the gift and nodded in thanks: "Thank you for your trouble, Prime Minister. This gift is of great significance."
As everyone gathered, the third-day bathing ceremony officially began.
