Traveling through time and space to become a concubine: I just want to live a leisurely life

Everyone was very curious about what Prince Xuan and Prince Shun had said, which made Prince Shun look very unhappy.

He even forced Princess Shun to leave with a reluctant look on her face.

Many people looked down on the Princess of Shun, but because of her status, people neither liked her nor dared to offend her easily.

It's just right that they left now. Everyone can breathe a sigh of relief and today's banquet can be more relaxed.

Shen Jingyi looked at King Xuan with sparkling eyes. She was also very curious, but she also knew that now was not the time to speak.

So he just smiled and asked, "Your Majesty, do you plan to stay and watch the third-day bathing ceremony, or go to the front yard?"

King Xuan looked at the room full of women and replied, "I will go to the front yard first. Be careful."

Shen Jingyi nodded and smiled gently, "I know, Prince, take care."

Chu Mengyao, who was standing aside, was in a very complicated mood. Ever since King Xuan came over, he never looked at her straight in the eye, which made her feel uneasy and angry.

She tightly grasped the handkerchief in her hand, bit her lips, and tried to control her emotions.

Now that King Xuan was about to leave, Chu Mengyao had to suppress her anger and step forward, appearing submissive.

"Please rest assured, Your Majesty. I will take good care of my sister and will not let anything happen to the child."

Chu Mengyao said this with a smile, as if the person who had just tried to teach Shen Jingyi a lesson with the help of Prince Shun's wife was not her.

Moreover, she said this to give a hint to everyone present, telling them that what King Xuan really cared about was the baby in Shen Jingyi's belly.

However, King Xuan ignored her performance. He just glanced at her indifferently and turned away without saying a word.

All of this was seen by the ladies present, and they couldn't help but shake their heads and sigh.

Originally, Chu Mengyao had a good hand, but she insisted on ruining it.

After King Xuan left, the third day bath ceremony finally began.

As Xiao Zirui was taken over by an old maid, people gathered around and the festive atmosphere filled the air again.

This ceremony is regarded as an important rite after a child is born, aiming to pray for the child and ensure his safe and healthy growth.

At this time, the charcoal brazier in the hall was already burning brightly, and a basin of warm water was placed on the table in the middle.

The old nanny carefully unwrapped Xiao Zirui.

As soon as his little hands were free, he began to wave them excitedly, as if he was exploring this new world.

The old lady couldn't help laughing at his cute appearance.

She gently wiped Xiao Zirui's body with warm water, each stroke was full of care and blessing.

While bathing Xiao Zirui, she kept chanting: "Wash his head first, and you will become a prince; wash his waist, and you will rise higher with each generation; wash his face, and you will enjoy wealth and honor; wash his feet, and you will be carried in a sedan chair..."

These words are all beautiful wishes for Xiao Zirui's future. We hope that he can grow up safely and healthily and have a happy and fulfilling life.

The women surrounding also began to throw five-colored threads, symbolizing the blessings of the five gods. The colorful silk threads flying in the air were very gorgeous and eye-catching.

They also throw longans, dates, gold leaves, silver ingots and other items into the water, which symbolize health, good luck and wealth.

When the old lady saw this scene, she couldn't stop laughing.

So, she worked harder to bathe Xiao Zirui, and kept saying all kinds of auspicious words, making the whole scene more lively and cheerful.

According to custom, she can take the things in the basin away after adding them, which means that they belong to her after washing.

After the third bathing ceremony, Xiao Zimo was taken out of the water. The wet nurse beside him immediately wiped the water off him and wrapped him up again.

I don’t know if he didn’t play in the water enough or if he just didn’t want to be wrapped up.

He cried loudly with a "Wow..." sound, his cry was deafening and he was very sad.

The people nearby smiled and said, "Some children cry while being washed, but this child cried after being washed. He is very well behaved."

"She's quite well behaved. Even though the hall was in such a mess just now, she didn't even cry." Someone echoed.

After Xiao Zimo's blanket was wrapped, Madam Liu walked over to take it, bowed to the princesses, said goodbye, then stepped back, holding the child and taking her daughter-in-law back to Shiya Courtyard.

Shen Jingyi felt that it was meaningless to stay here, so after bowing, he took his people back.

As they passed through the garden, they heard the noises of several girls playing from a distance.

Shen Jingyi didn't care. There would definitely be a lot of people at the banquet at home.

She just slowed down and walked slowly.
