As soon as she opened her eyes, she was forcibly carried back to the East Palace by the paranoid pri

"Your Majesty and Queen are here!"

"Her Royal Highness the Princess has arrived!"

The Queen is here too? The court officials were puzzled. Shouldn't this be the time when the Queen is recuperating after giving birth? Wasn't it said that the Queen was always weak?

However, they had no intention of delving into it, after all, they knew that something shocking was waiting for them.

"Get up." The emperor's voice was as dignified and noble as usual.

After paying their respects and standing up, the court officials saw the Emperor and the Empress sitting on the two highest seats. The Empress did not show any signs of fatigue after giving birth, and the phoenix-holding-a-pearl hairpin on her high bun was eye-catching. Although her expression was gentle between her eyebrows, the phoenix pattern on her palace dress highlighted her imposing majesty.

At this moment, no matter how beautiful the queen's face was, it became hideous in the eyes of the court officials.

A disaster for the country! The eldest princess is clearly a son who is honored because of her mother!

If it is thrown into any other belly, Your Majesty will not even look at it!

Today was supposed to be a small banquet in the harem, but it was forcibly elevated by the emperor. As a result, those lowly concubines were no longer qualified to attend the banquet.

Empress Dowager He, who was sitting on the left side of the upper seat, had the same unhappy expression as the other court officials. They were all women, and she didn't mean to say anything bad about the princess, but... but this was the country!

In any case, the banquet was conducted according to the rules. After burning incense and worshiping the goddess of labor and other gods, the midwife placed a basin with gold patterns in front of Tuan'er. This was called "adding basin".

The court officials came prepared, bringing valuable gold and silver items. The midwife standing by was overjoyed, saying blessings over and over again, "May your wealth and splendor last forever like a flowing river..."

Isn't it ecstatic? According to old customs, the things in the basin belong to the midwife!

The more the court officials listened, the more bitter they felt. How could the eldest princess' wealth and glory be cut off?

"Ah, ah!" Tuan'er cried out, obviously not used to the unfamiliar environment. She was very cute, with big round eyes and plump little arms like lotus roots.

The queen personally embraced the princess, radiating tenderness from the inside out, "This is to bring you blessings."

"Our Tuan'er is naturally blessed." Ning Rushong walked to He Yue's side and placed his hand on Tuan'er's gilded brocade swaddling clothes.

Since the emperor and empress had spoken, the court officials naturally had no choice but to agree.

"With the love of His Majesty and the Queen, the eldest princess will naturally be blessed with a good life!"

"I have delivered more than a dozen babies, and Her Royal Highness the Princess's is the prettiest and fairest. Her brows are rosy and she looks blessed. Her Royal Highness the Princess will surely be a perfect and blessed person in the future!" The midwife said one compliment after another.

He Yue was happy to hear this. There is no one who doesn't want his or her child to be a blessed person, free from disasters and diseases, and live a happy life.

Ning Rusong glanced at the midwife and said, "Reward."

The midwife bowed and smiled, her wrinkles puckered up, "Thank you, Your Majesty, Your Majesty, for your grace!"

He Yue coaxed Tuan'er to stop making noises and put her back on the cushion. The midwife then followed the process of the third-day baby bath.

After the ceremony of ringing the basin, offering blessings, and finishing, the midwife knelt on the ground, kowtowed and shouted, "The new baby has no name. Your Majesty, please give it a name!"

The courtiers knelt down and shouted unwillingly, "Your Majesty, please give Her Royal Highness the Princess a name!"

"Minister Lin, please issue the decree." Ning Rushong picked up Tuan'er from the cushion. She looked at her father in confusion and slapped his forearm with her fat hands, as if asking him why he suddenly wanted to hug her.

At this time, Elder Lin, as the minister who issued the imperial edict, stood up with the imperial edict in his hand and opened it. "By the grace of Heaven..., I bestow upon you the name Ning Yuji, and you may be named the Crown Princess, and receive the great grace of Heaven!"

The court officials kowtowed again, "Greetings to the Crown Princess! Long live Her Highness!"
