Everyone in my harem is talented

"Is everything done?"

"Yes, it is all settled, Your Majesty!"

"The eldest prince's full-month ceremony, tsk!" It's inconvenient to have no Empress in the harem to preside over affairs. It would be bad not to hold the eldest prince's full-month ceremony. If you hold it, does that mean Concubine Yi has to preside over it again?

The Empress of the Central Palace has already been decided. Isn't it inappropriate to let Meng Wuyue take over and preside over such an important ceremony?

Qin Zhi hesitated for a rare moment.

After all, he liked Shen Ningyue very much and wanted to leave her some dignity.

"Your Majesty, the names you asked the officials of the Ministry of Rites to draft for the eldest prince are all ready. Would you like to present them?"

"Show it up, I'll take a look."

"Your Majesty, several of the ministers said that Your Majesty did not specify whether the eldest prince's name should be single-character or double-character, so they each proposed ten names for you to choose from."

Qin Zhi flipped over it without even looking at the single-character names and went straight to the double-character names.

"That's it, Mingyu, Qin Mingyu." Qin Zhi put down the red brush he was using to mark documents, picked up the ink pen beside him and put a dot under the word "Mingyu".

The reason why the red pen in hand is not used is because circling a person's name with a red pen is called red tattoo, and only death row prisoners use this. It is also wrong to circle a person's name with a black pen, as it means that the person has passed away, which is unlucky.

Qin Zhi said: "From now on, the names of the princes should follow this, all with two characters."

"Ming means brilliant and omnipresent. To be able to see far and far is called Ming. When naming my princes, the first character is always 'Ming'."

"Qian means jade, which is hard and clear, warm and moist. The second character of the prince's name is always taken from the oblique jade radical."

"Your Majesty is holy."

---------------

"Your Highness, Your Highness, His Majesty's decree has come down. Your Highness has given our eldest prince a name! His Highness has given him a name before he even had his third birthday. This is such a great grace. This shows how much His Highness values ​​our eldest prince! I congratulate Your Highness, congratulations to Your Highness."

The practice of Dayong was the same as that of the previous dynasty. Children were called Da Lang, Er Lang, Da Niang, and Er Niang according to their age and gender. After the age of three or five, the adults would give them names when they felt that the child was completely established. If the child died before then, the child would be so pitiful that he would not even have a memorial tablet.

It is said that only children who are valued and loved by their parents will be given a name before they are completely independent. The more favored they are, the earlier they will have their own name.

Concubine Yi was favored and took charge of the phoenix seal and the affairs of the harem. Her eldest princess, Qin Ronglu, was given this name after she was born a year later and was captured.

Liu Yiren listened to the good news from the head maid Qing Zhang and tried to get up in a hurry. As soon as she moved, she was pushed back by Qing Zhang. She continued:

"My Lady, His Majesty has given you a verbal order to take good care of yourself and not to get up to receive the order. I have already asked the nurse to bring the eldest prince to receive the order."

Liu Yiren was about to speak but was interrupted by Qing Zhang.

"My lady, please don't worry. I know you are worried about the eldest prince. His Majesty also thinks about you and is in tune with you. In addition to not letting you get up to receive the order, he was afraid that the eldest prince would get wind of it, so he specially granted the favor of letting Eunuch Zhang go to the back hall to announce the order and give the eldest prince a name."

"And more!" Qing Zhang's voice became excited again.

Liu Yiren's face was pale, and her lips were bloodless. She looked at the happy Qing Zhang tenderly and said, "If you have any good news, tell us as well."

"Your Majesty, His Majesty has officially issued an order to make you a noble concubine. Would you like to take a look?"

Liu Yiren smiled faintly and said, "No need, just offer the imperial edict. Sharing joy with others is worse than enjoying it alone. Everyone in Lanlin Palace will be rewarded!"

"I will thank you on their behalf!"

Qing Zhang looked at Liu Yiren's forced expression, lowered his voice, reached out to tuck the quilt around her, and said:

"My lady, please rest. The doctor said you should think less and move less, and stay in bed to rest."

Liu Yiren closed her eyes gently and lay quietly.

Qing Zhang reached out his hand under Liu Yiren's nose with some fear, trying to feel her breath. When he felt her light, warm breath, he immediately breathed a sigh of relief and sat down on the ground.
