This palace comes back in this life, only to be Nian Shilan

Chapter 114: What a nice smell~

"When your child is born, Concubine Hua and I will love him even more." The emperor was very happy to be so considerate. He felt that he and Mei Zhuang seemed to be closer.

Queen: Where do you place me?

The banquet started with a variety of performances that children loved to watch. One of the performances was juggling with five-colored balls, which drew applause from the whole audience. People were used to watching singing and dancing performances at banquets, so they found juggling performances quite new.

After the performance, the five-colored balls were left around the guests as decoration.

There is also a sugar-blowing performance, where the craftsmen can blow the sugar-blowing figures while dancing. The craftsmen walk to the seats of the guests one by one and present a cute sugar-blowing figure, either a Chinese zodiac sign or a character from a comic strip, such as the majestic Monkey King or the silly Zhu Bajie. Everyone returns to their childhood following the rhythm of the sugar-blowing figures.

After several craftsmen walked around the guest seats, they gathered in the center of the banquet and worked together to play the sound of a little boy pulling a bow. Behind the little boy there was a gentle silhouette, as if the boy's mother was gazing at her child tenderly.

This sugar man is a gift prepared by Concubine Hua for the Emperor.

When Xiao Xiazi was handed to the emperor, Concubine Hua noticed that the emperor stared at the sugar man for a long time.

The queen, who was sitting next to him, noticed the emperor's expression and couldn't help but clench her fists secretly.

Concubine Hua hasn't competed for favor for a long time. It turns out she is waiting here.

Hua Fei: Are you afraid of occasional business?

When the performance was over, the Queen was about to speak, saying that she had made special arrangements for today's banquet, but Concubine Hua spoke first: "Your Majesty, it's time for Wen Yi to have her first birthday. Please move, Your Majesty. I'm ready."

At a glance from Concubine Hua, the palace servants placed an octagonal table in the middle of the banquet, covered it with a blanket, and placed many exquisite little things on it, including embroidery needles and embroidery frames commonly used by daughters, the four treasures of the study, hairpins, rings, gold and silver jewelry, and other items.

No matter what they caught, the clan members had prepared a bunch of auspicious words to wish Wen Yi wisdom and intelligence.

Yongzheng attached great importance to the ceremony. It was during the ceremony that he picked up a brush and wrote the word "imperial" which earned him the respect of the emperor.

Although Yongzheng had no memory of this incident and the current Empress Dowager told him the story, he firmly believed it.

If he was not the chosen one by God, how could he have ascended to the throne now?

Although Wen Yi was a princess, there had not been a ceremony to hold a one-year-old baby in the palace for a long time, so Yongzheng was very curious about what Wen Yi could catch.

Today, Wen Yi had a red dot on his forehead made with cinnabar. In addition, Concubine Jing had made Wen Yi plump and fair, so the red dot on his forehead made Wen Yi look as cute as a doll from a New Year picture, attracting everyone's attention to Wen Yi.

Concubine Jing put Wen Yi on the table and let Wen Yi crawl to find something she liked.

Everyone's eyes followed Wen Yi as he crawled around.

Wen Yi crawled around on the huge eight-immortals table but didn't grab anything. Just when everyone was disappointed, Wen Yi suddenly looked up at his royal father, and then he plopped down his little butt and crawled over.

Before everyone could react, Wen Yi had already crawled in front of the emperor, grabbed the emperor's dragon robe with his little fleshy hands, opened his arms, raised his little head and said, "Ama, baby~"

The person Wen Yi caught during the one-year-old ceremony was the Emperor! Princess Wen Yi can now call him Ama!

All the relatives in the family said: Wen Yi’s wealth and prosperity in this life is secure.

Concubine Hua: Yes, Wen Yi really likes yellow things the most.

Concubine Jing: After teaching me for so many days, I have finally learned these two sentences.

Emperor: You are worthy of being my daughter. You don’t want anything but me!

Queen: I shouldn’t have let that bitch Concubine Cao give birth to this bastard. How could she deserve the Emperor’s fatherly love?

"Hahahahahaha, Wen Yi is the one that pleases me the most."

The emperor picked up the chubby Wen Yi and sat back in the main seat. He then pulled off the jade pendant from his waist and gave it to Wen Yi to play with. Wen Yi just clung to the emperor's arms and refused to leave.

At that moment, the emperor really felt the warmth of the little cotton jacket.

"Hmph, the Emperor only loves Wen Yi and doesn't love Linglong anymore." Linglong suddenly stood up. This was what Empress Hua had taught her today. Although sister Wen Yi was loved by the Emperor, she was also a little jealous.

"Who said that you are the most mischievous? Come here, come to your father." The emperor felt that the water was really comfortable today.

My daughter is such a caring little girl~

After hearing this, Linglong immediately ran to the emperor, snuggled into his arms, and laughed.

"Your Majesty, I have also arranged a program for the princess' birthday banquet today. Please enjoy it." The Queen spoke at the right time when she saw the central one-year-old table being removed by the eunuchs.

The Emperor must be tired of watching the acrobatics for so long, so it would be most appropriate for Concubine Li to appear at this moment.

The Queen Mother clapped her hands twice to signal Concubine Li to come on stage.

Just as the sound of a pipa began to rise, Concubine Li walked lightly into the center of the banquet with a veil covering her face. Today, Concubine Li was wearing a brocade dress with colorful ribbons, revealing her slender waist, and she walked barefoot.

Lipin had a graceful and relaxed figure, her arms as soft as willow branches, swaying lightly to the rhythm of the music, her fingers slender and flexible, as if playing a silent melody in the air, the rhythm of her fingers just matching the sound of the pipa.

It’s just that the animal wind wheels on both sides and the colorful balls all over the ground are too childish, which weakens the viewing appeal of this dance.

The surrounding decorations reminded the guests that today was a child's first birthday celebration, not an ordinary singing and dancing party.

How could Concubine Li not know this, but since things had come to this point, she could only bite the bullet and jump forward.

This is the Dunhuang Flying Dance that Lipin has studied hard for a long time. The colorful clothes, pipa, and bare feet with jade plates may not be suitable for the scene, but the dance moves are so graceful that people can't take their eyes off it.

However, Lipin's clothes today were indeed a bit revealing.

The emperor was very happy to watch. The dancer had a graceful figure and skin as smooth as the one from Chun Yuan back then.

But Yongzheng had not forgotten that he was holding two girls in his arms.

While watching Lipin dancing, Yongzheng wanted to take off her veil to see what kind of beauty had such a slender and beautiful figure. At the same time, he cleared his throat and swallowed his saliva, trying to cover the eyes of his two daughters in his arms.

The child is still too young, and it is indeed somewhat... indecent for him to watch such scenes.

Wen Yi is fine, he's just a little kid and doesn't remember anything.

But Linglong is now curious about everything.

What if she imitates that woman and dances barefoot with her belly button exposed?

Yongzheng liked the woman that the queen prepared for him very much, no, he liked the dance.

But he didn't want his daughter to imitate him.

Concubine Hua looked at the changing expressions on the emperor's face, greed, obsession, reserve and restraint, it was really very complicated.

After the dance, the pipa stopped playing, and Concubine Li, sweating profusely and panting slightly, bowed to the emperor to thank him.

The fragrance of the Jixi Pills on Concubine Li's body filled the entire palace.

Yongzheng finally couldn't help but praised: "It smells so good~"
