Chapter 898 The Princess' 5th Birthday
"After the eldest princess' birthday banquet, you will bring the third prince to the Cining Palace. I will arrange for a trusted doctor to diagnose him."
Wang Concubine felt relieved for the moment and said happily, "I am relieved that the Queen Mother will take action on this matter!"
Who among the imperial doctors in the palace dares not to listen to His Majesty? Even if the Third Prince really has a problem, they probably wouldn't dare to reveal it without His Majesty's order.
Now, the doctor that the Empress Dowager has found outside the palace will definitely tell her the truth.
Princess Wang also wanted to know, was the Third Prince just developing slowly, or was there really something wrong with him?
After this episode, the two chatted about another topic: "… Queen Mother, tomorrow is the eldest princess's fifth birthday banquet, and everyone in the harem is busy preparing for it. It shows that the eldest princess's importance in your majesty's heart is still irreplaceable!"
Speaking of the eldest princess, Empress Dowager Liu's brows were also tinged with warmth. She glanced at Concubine Wang and said, "Not only does the emperor love the eldest princess, she is also the apple of my eye. I don't want anything to go wrong at the eldest princess's fifth birthday banquet!"
This was a warning to the princess.
In the deep palace, a child without a mother is like fat meat falling into a pack of wolves. There are countless people in the palace who want to take advantage of the eldest princess.
Queen Mother Liu believed that Concubine Wang was no exception.
But as long as she is there, she will make sure that no one dares to take advantage of the princess!
Concubine Wang felt a chill in her heart and couldn't help feeling a little relieved.
Fortunately, because of Empress Dowager Liu, she never plotted against the eldest princess from beginning to end, otherwise she would have suffered a lot...
Of course, even if both of them understood this in their hearts, they would never say it out loud.
Wang Fei smiled and said, "The eldest princess is a royal daughter, and your majesty attaches so much importance to her birthday banquet, naturally no one dares to stir up trouble."
Then, the two chatted for a while.
Seeing that Empress Dowager Liu was not in good spirits, Concubine Wang stood up and said, "I will not disturb the Empress Dowager's rest. I will take my leave first."
As soon as she walked out of the main hall, she met the eldest princess with two little pigtails.
Seeing the princess, the eldest princess stopped and bowed politely: "Yun'er greets the princess!"
Wangpin had a gentle smile on her face: "No need to be polite."
"Is the eldest princess here to see the Queen Mother? Come in."
The eldest princess responded obediently and walked into the main hall with a smile: "Grandmother, Yun'er is here!"
Looking at her carefree appearance, Wangpin secretly shook her head in her heart.
If the eldest princess knew that her biological mother Liu was no longer alive, would she still live as happily as she does now?
However, with the warning from Queen Mother Liu just now, Concubine Wang would never dare to tell the eldest princess this news.
However, she believed that there were so many people in the palace who wanted to stir up trouble, and there would always be someone who would not miss this great opportunity.
When the snipe and the clam fight each other, she will be the one who benefits!
Thinking of this, the corners of Wangpin's lips curled up slightly, and she walked away from the Cining Palace.
On the way back, Xiao Tianzi lowered his voice and asked, "Your Majesty, don't you want to know whether the broken seal of Concubine Chen has anything to do with the Duke Dingguo's Mansion?"
"Why didn't you mention this matter at all in the Cining Palace just now?"
Wangpin sat on the sedan chair and glanced at Xiaotianzi. "Are you stupid or am I stupid?"
"I have no blood relationship with the Duke Dingguo Mansion. I am just a chess piece to them. Do you think the Queen Mother would like the chess piece in her hand to be too smart and even ask questions that should not be asked?"
Xiao Tianzi broke out in a cold sweat: "I see... Thanks to the Queen for her advice!"
He finally understood why there were so many concubines attached to Duke Dingguo's Mansion, but only the Empress could catch their eyes.
Because the Queen is really smart!
If it weren't for the example of Concubine Chen, with her looks and abilities, she would definitely have become a favorite concubine!
……
July 19th is the eldest princess’ fifth birthday.
Normally, the birthday banquets of princes and princesses are held in the palace of their mother.
But the eldest princess is special, and is now raised by Queen Dowager Liu.
Everyone knew that Empress Dowager Liu was in poor health and needed to rest. Therefore, the emperor had long ago ordered a birthday banquet to be held for the eldest princess in the imperial garden.
The Ministry of Internal Affairs had already decorated the venue beautifully.
Shen Zhinian is in charge of this matter, and Hu Zhongcai is extremely concerned about it!
At the entrance to the Imperial Garden, there is a huge red silk hanging with auspicious blessings embroidered with golden threads:
I wish the eldest princess a happy birthday and lasting blessings!
Exquisite vases are placed on both sides of the palace gate, filled with blooming peonies, peonies and other flowers, showing gorgeousness and festiveness.
The path from here to the Imperial Garden is paved with a long red carpet, with golden threads on the edge of the carpet to outline exquisite patterns.
There were many stands on both sides of the path, and at intervals, there was a beautifully shaped lantern hanging. The patterns painted on the lanterns were all related to the eldest princess.
There are her zodiac sign, favorite flowers, etc.
When night falls, light up these lanterns and it will look stunning!
There are many tables and chairs placed among the flowers, with exquisite silk cushions and backrests. The cushions and backrests are embroidered with different floral patterns to distinguish them.
Since Empress Dowager Liu was paralyzed and unable to attend, Nangong Xuanyu and Shen Zhinian had the highest status. The emperor's seat was located in the front center, and Shen Zhinian's seat was below him.
In addition to the flowers planted in the Imperial Garden, the huge venue is also filled with many potted flowers, forming beautiful patterns and flower walls.
At the same time, there is a small vase on each table, with a single flower in the vase, adding a touch of elegance.
Hu Zhongcai also brought people from the Imperial Household Department to carefully arrange the original rockery and strange rocks in the Imperial Garden.
Colorful ribbons are lingering on it, fluttering in the wind, adding a touch of lively beauty to the rockery and strange rocks.
Some small lanterns and candles are carefully placed in the cracks of the rockery. When lit up at night, they create a great atmosphere.
There are more and more children in the palace now, and many royal relatives who attended the banquet brought their children with them.
Therefore, Hu Zhongcai specially set up a special area in a corner of the Imperial Garden, which was filled with many toys that children liked.
He also had a sturdy swing built, and the swing seat was embroidered with the eldest princess' favorite butterfly pattern.
A temporary stage was set up near Qianqiu Pavilion for the palace musicians and singers to perform.
Early in the morning, the etiquette officer in charge of receiving royal relatives was waiting at the palace gate.
The ladies and concubines in the palace got up early, dressed up, and arrived at the place where the banquet was held.
