Chapter 135

In the morning, the emperor personally ordered a grand ceremony, and the East Palace ordered a grand ceremony.

Many people came to attend the ceremony. This is the eldest son and daughter of the prince, the first child of the third generation of the royal family. Since they were never born, they have been the focus of attention in the capital. As soon as they are born, the heat will explode.

Even if we don't look at the political significance behind the children, just because they are twins, visitors can step on the threshold. Both the wife in charge of the family with a son and the newly married young grandmother want to come and enjoy themselves.

The main hall of Ciqing palace is full of beautiful clothes and pearls. The ladies gathered together to talk with a smile. At this time, the eunuch came in from the outside. Everyone stopped talking and looked out one after another.

The two mothers came in with two swaddling clothes in their arms. As soon as they saw it, they immediately congratulated. Swaddling clothes were all prepared before, but no one expected that they were the twins before they were born. In the past three days, the female officials of Shangyi Bureau rushed to make swaddling clothes for the two young masters. They specially prepared swaddling clothes of red embroidered Golden Dragon and Golden Phoenix, which just met the needs of the twins. Now the onlookers can recognize which is the little princess and which is the little princess from their swaddling clothes.

The prince's son is the princess, and his daughter is the princess. As soon as these two children are born, they are higher than most of the ladies present. The ladies also saw the twins for the first time with their own eyes. They were full of praise, and the rarity in their eyes almost turned into substance. After the Royal eunuch sang the song, wenpo said auspicious words and washed the two children's bodies.

The brothers and sisters were wrinkled and red when they were born, but after a day, they immediately became clean and fat like blowing air. Now, although they are still light red, they are good-looking. A group of high-ranking officials and ladies gathered around the two sides, watching wenpo pull water on the legs of her two children's little arms. No matter who has had a child or not, her heart of love will melt now.

In fact, the two children are very clean. Washing three in public is just symbolic. After she lifted the baby with warm water, she quickly dried the baby with clean white silk cloth and re wrapped it in dragon and Phoenix swaddling clothes. There was constant praise and blessing from the crowd. The two steady mothers held one child in their arms and laughed. After listening for a while, they covered the child's head and went back.

Now in the back hall, the Earth Dragon is warm like spring, and the faint milk fragrance is floating in the room. Two mothers come in with their children and salute the people on the bed: "princess, the little master has finished the three washing ceremonies."

Cheng Yujin answered, just had an action, Du Ruo quickly went forward to pick up the swaddling clothes and put them carefully into Cheng Yujin's arms. Cheng Yujin is still weak. She can't hold two at a time. She can only hold one in her arms and put one on the bed. She can't see that enough.

"Your highness and your majesty have seen it?"

"The first one to go to Qianqing palace, his majesty also took two young masters in his arms and showed them to the adults before sending them to the women's families."

Cheng Yujin nodded and asked, "haven't you seen the wind all the way?"

"No, I'm careful. His highness also specially instructed that eunuchs on both sides of the way back from the Qianqing palace blocked the wind. The maid had a big red quilt on the outside of her swaddling clothes, so she would never let the two little masters see the wind. "

That's good. Cheng Yujin was relieved and gently went to shake the hand of the little guy on the bed. Twins are smaller than ordinary fetuses. Cheng Yujin was born just like this. However, it's not strange that things happen to her. When they happen to her children, they feel different immediately. Cheng Yujin grew up healthy, but when she saw that the two little guys were weak, she was always worried. It happened that they were born in winter, so they had to show up in front of the whole court when they washed three, so they had to be very careful on the road.

Cheng Yujin asked the two children about their milk and sleep. While talking, forsythia came in and said, "princess, the old lady and the eldest lady have come to see you."

Forsythia is the servant girl of Cheng family. She can call her like this, except for old lady Cheng and Princess Qingfu. Cheng Yujin nodded and said, "please."

Old lady Cheng and Princess Qingfu enter the hall. Today, the little princess and the little princess have a three-day dinner. Everyone is looking forward to it, and finally they can only see it from a distance. However, as a decent mother, Mrs. Cheng can directly visit the crown princess in Ciqing palace. Old lady Cheng and Princess Qingfu sat down one by one. Old lady Cheng asked, "how are you, princess? How about postpartum recovery? "

"Everything is fine." This is true. Cheng Yujin has no worries about food and clothing. All the people in the palace regard her as a Bodhisattva. Li Chengjing is very considerate to her. Cheng Yujin just moves her fingers a little, and the servant girls and maidservants immediately come forward to do the work for her. The emperor sends a reward like flowing water. When empress Yang and empress Yang see it, they have to give a reward together, so as not to be said.

Cheng Yujin doesn't need to worry about anything, just looking at two children every day is enough. Mood and Shun, postpartum recovery of nature is good.

After the old lady Cheng inquired as usual, she looked at Princess Qingfu. Qingfu is very on the road, immediately also came up. Cheng Yujin smiles and answers all the good words one by one.

After Princess Qingfu and the Crown Princess communicate their mother daughter relationship, Cheng Laofu explains, "today, the second family will come, but I'm afraid everyone will go out. There's no principal in the house, so I'll let her stay in the house."Cheng Yujin's mouth radian remained unchanged, saying: "grandma is in charge of the family, so it's natural for her to arrange the affairs of Hou's house."

Mrs. Cheng was a little nervous when she made this decision. The crown princess gave birth to a dragon and a Phoenix, and she was worth twice as much in the palace. Everyone in Beijing knew that as long as the crown prince didn't make such a big mistake as treason, or the emperor suddenly went crazy, the next empress would be the crown prince and his wife. Flattering the prince and princess is different from flattering the Empress Dowager.

Mrs. Cheng has been on tenterhooks for a month in November. Not only she, but all the other Cheng family members eat fast and recite Buddhism. Even Cheng Yuanxian doesn't go out to mess with others. On the morning of the first day of the new year, Mrs. Cheng learned that the crown princess had given birth to a pair of twins, and immediately read the Buddha's name. She was so happy that she almost didn't faint. The people in Yichun Marquis's residence were very happy. They were so happy that they were even happier than the Spring Festival.

Today, on the third day of washing, Mrs. Cheng was very happy to bring her daughter-in-law into the palace. However, before going out, she was worried about Ruan's affairs. Cheng Yujin herself is also a twin, but she has already passed on to Princess Qingfu. Now she has a baby of dragon and Phoenix. If she takes Ruan into the palace, it seems that the Marquis's mansion of Yichun deliberately mentions the life experience of the crown princess. After all, Qingfu is a princess. In order to show her face to her eldest daughter-in-law, Mrs. Cheng forced her to leave the crying Ruan family in the Marquis's house and only took Princess Qingfu into the palace.

When Mrs. Cheng made her decision, she was ruthless, but now when she met Cheng Yujin, she fell down and carefully tested the attitude of the crown princess. Without him, the Cheng family depends on Cheng Yujin. They all want to hold Cheng Yujin. How dare they offend the crown princess. Although Cheng Yujin was smart and clear from childhood, who can know her attitude towards her biological mother and foster mother.

Old lady Cheng looked carefully for a long time, and saw that Cheng Yujin was not unhappy, so she was a little relieved. In fact, even if Cheng Yujin has an idea in her heart, old lady Cheng can't see it.

Cheng Yujin has been in the palace for a year and a half. I don't know whether it's the palace or the prince who teaches him well. Cheng Yujin's already good superficial Kung Fu is greatly improved. Now, Mrs. Cheng has more than 40 years of experience, and she can't see that she is just the Crown Princess of her grandchildren.

Mrs. Cheng reluctantly reassured herself and began to talk about things outside. Today, the Marquis's mansion in Yichun has been marginalized and has become the most popular power in the capital. Although Cheng Yuanxian was cheered by others, he was still an incompetent dandy in essence. He was not interested in his official career, and he still concentrated on eating, drinking and having fun. In a sense, it's very easy.

A prospective father-in-law who only spends money and has no political ambition is the best. When people in the capital discovered this, they were strangely relieved.

Mrs. Cheng nagged about the family routine of the Cheng family. She didn't know how to talk about the second prince and Dou Xiyin: "crown princess, Princess Shou was forbidden to feet by the emperor some time ago, but since the Empress Dowager fell ill, she didn't know how to solve the problem and began to move in the capital again. It wasn't until the day before yesterday that you heard about the birth of twins that she stopped

Cheng Yujin knows about this. Dou Xiyin peeked at Zhao Taiyi's prescription and learned that Cheng Yujin was pregnant with twins. She went into the palace to give it to the Empress Dowager. Later, Cheng Yujin tried to poke them all in front of the emperor. The emperor was so angry that he did not dare to deal with the Empress Dowager. It was not enough to clean up Dou Xiyin as a princess. Dou Xiyin was banned for an indefinite period of time and ordered to learn virtue in the mansion. Only one month later, Empress Dowager Yang suddenly became "seriously ill". Empress Yang called the whole clan to the palace to serve the sick, and Dou Xiyin was naturally released.

In addition to using the ominous connotation of Cheng Yujin to lift Dou Xiyin's foot ban, I'm afraid it is also one of the purposes of Empress Dowager Yang. However, Cheng Yujin doesn't care much about these things. Her goal has been achieved. The whole capital knows that the emperor doesn't like Princess Shou. Everyone knows that Princess Shou goes into the palace to encourage the Empress Dowager to harm the princess. As a result, the emperor angrily reprimands her and forbids her feet. As for the problem, it doesn't matter.

One is popular, the other is unpopular. Dou Xiyin's original political capital is basically ruined by her. A good hand played a poor, today's Dou Xiyin, simply not enough as Cheng Yujin's opponent, Cheng Yujin are lazy to pay attention to her.

Even when Mrs. Cheng talked about Dou Xiyin, she was a bit of schadenfreude: "Princess Shou jumped up and down some time ago and ran to the palace every day. It's said that the crown princess's baby is twins, and the omen is ominous. Now it's really twins. It's just the lucky twins. Princess Shou is so shameless. Now many people secretly laugh at her. I don't know if she has any face to walk around in the future. "

"No harm." Cheng Yujin said, "it's her business how she likes to say, and how to fight with her."

When Cheng Jinyu talks to a fool, he has no strength to make sense.

Having said that, Mrs. Cheng always has some difficulty in calming down when she thinks of the bird spirit she received some time ago. Princess Qingfu also lowered her voice and said, "it's not someone who supports her that she dares to be so rampant. Your majesty is too filial. It's obviously the prince's credit for the disaster relief in the south of the Yangtze River. In the end, his great contribution was robbed by others. That's a few months of hard work. Many of my wives have told me about this, and they all feel aggrieved for the prince. "

Cheng Yujin said, "I don't understand the affairs in the court, but since it is the person recommended by Yang Shoufu, both the emperor and the cabinet agree, it must be reasonable."

Princess Qingfu turned her lips, because now the hall is full of trustworthy people, and Qingfu is not afraid to be more straightforward: "if you want me to say it, Empress Dowager Yang's hand is too long. The Empress Dowager Yang promoted her younger brother and helped her niece and granddaughter to become the empress and imperial concubine. In the end, she even put pressure on the prince to take the credit. It's too much. It's a pity that Donggong suffered a great loss. "Cheng Yujin said with a smile, "it's not a pity."

Princess Qingfu and old lady Cheng were stunned for a moment. Cheng Yujin added with a smile: "if you listen to your majesty and the empress dowager, how can you call it a pity?"

What's more, it's not Donggong who suffers.

Li Chengjing does hand over his achievements to others, but everyone knows that the crown prince has been robbed of his credit and has earned both fame and wealth. He does not need to deal with the aftermath, and it is enough to earn a wave of sympathy.

In name, the Yang family took advantage, but in fact they were inferior. If the disaster relief is finished well, it is the work of the crown prince. If the relief is not finished well, it is the Yang family's death, which spoils the efforts of the crown prince.

In any case, it will not be Donggong who will suffer. However, this is not the biggest harvest. Yang Shoufu has many enemies and has been resentful for a long time. It will be a matter of time before he is unpopular. But this time, what he has lost is the Empress Dowager's heart.

You know, the foundation of the Yang family is not empress Yang, not the second prince, or even Yang Shoufu. It's empress dowager Yang.

Only in this case, everyone in the capital knows that the Empress Dowager interferes in politics and puts pressure on her through illness, regardless of right or wrong. In the past, Empress Dowager Yang occupied the Empress Dowager's highland, so the etiquette and reason naturally stood on her side, and some old-fashioned Confucian officials blindly followed the Empress Dowager regardless of the facts. But now that the Empress Dowager has a stain, if the emperor and the prince do anything in the future, those scholars and scholars can no longer point out and condemn.

Empress Dowager Yang has lost her heart and virtue doesn't match. It's clear that Donggong has made a lot of money. Cheng Yujin laughs but doesn't speak. Naturally, Cheng Yujin won't tell the old lady Cheng and Princess Qingfu.

At the end of the grand ceremony, the cabinet, which represents the highest literary level in the world, argued with each other for a long time and solemnly made a name list for the emperor's eldest grandson and granddaughter. After receiving the list for a long time, the emperor asked Li Chengjing to come and discuss for a long time. Finally, he gathered the strength of all the people and named the precious and beautiful twins.

Li Chengjing's generation took the meaning of inheriting the past and enlightening the future, and rejuvenating the national strength. The children's generation gained from the Ming Dynasty, which is a sign of carrying on the past and opening up a prosperous and peaceful era.

Finally, his brother was named Li Mingqian and his sister Li Mingyue.

When they heard the name of the prince's eldest son, they were in an uproar.

Cheng Yujin was surprised to hear that. She expected that the names of the two children would be valuable, but unexpectedly, they were so valuable.

Qian is heaven, circle, king and Yang. Ming Qian, the emperor and the prince gave the eldest son the name, which is clear at a glance.

It is said that this is Li Chengjing's idea. Since the two children are twins, they should be treated equally. The bright moon shines brightly in Kyushu. Therefore, he gave his daughter the title of "bright moon".

When the maids heard this, they gathered around Cheng Yujin and said, "princess, the little princess's name is Mingqian. It's the sun. The little princess's name is Mingyue. It's the moon. A small sun and a small moon, it can be seen that all of them are the intimate little cotton padded jacket of the princess. "

Cheng Yujin holds her daughter up with a smile, points Li Mingqian's forehead and says, "you know that if you eat your sister's hand, you can't bully her."

When Li Chengjing came in, he heard Cheng Yujin talking about the child and said with a smile, "what's the matter? As soon as I entered the door, I heard you lecturing my son."

"You ask him." Cheng Yujin hugged her little moon painfully and said, "he doesn't eat his own hand. He has to bite Mingyue. Mingyue is not as strong as he is. He can't be robbed every time. "

When Li Chengjing heard the smile, he came to see Li Mingqian. Sure enough, the boy had nothing in his mouth, and he wanted to eat with his fists.

Li Chengjing picked up his son and said, "you see, your mother is eccentric. She never calls your name, but she speaks a bright moon."

Cheng Yujin didn't even look at the two men. Li Chengjing held them for a while. Without attracting any attention, she sighed and commented truthfully: "he's getting fat again, and he's getting a lot heavier."

Cheng Yujin agreed: "children look the same every day. When they were born, they were so small and wrinkled, and now they are white and fat."

Li Chengjing nods and puts Li Mingqian in Cheng Yujin's hand. Cheng Yujin looked up at him strangely. Li Chengjing said honestly, "he's too heavy. Please hold him."

"I want to hold the moon."
