Chapter 375 The Special Gift Prepared by Emperor Taihe
Liu Zhichun smiled helplessly: "What was the situation when we first came to the capital? You must have heard about it in the palace.
I left the palace and married someone in the countryside. I was just a country woman. How could I be qualified to enter the palace at will?
When I first came to the capital, the Chen family was still very prosperous. If I entered the palace and let the Empress Dowager know about my difficulties, wouldn’t it make her feel embarrassed?
At that time, I could never have imagined that the Chen family would actually do so many things behind the scenes."
After saying that, she sighed again, looking very scared.
Nanny Feng continued to complain, "Why didn't you want to enter the palace after the incident with the Chen family?"
Liu Zhichun smiled even more helplessly: "After the incident with the Chen family, some people in the court were dissatisfied with Xie Xiu and Xie Yun's severance of their relationship, and even wrote a letter of impeachment. If it is spread at this time that I have a past with the Empress Dowager, how will the world view the Empress Dowager?
So I never dared to enter the palace, and I could only secretly set up a longevity tablet for the Empress, burning incense and offering sacrifices every day."
Nanny Feng looked at her in surprise: "You have set up a longevity tablet for the Empress?"
Liu Zhichun took her directly to the small Buddhist temple in the backyard, where the longevity tablet of Queen Mother Zhao was indeed enshrined.
Moreover, the tablet was covered with paste, and it was obvious that it had been enshrined for many years.
Nanny Feng then looked at Liu Zhichun with satisfaction: "You are thoughtful."
Liu Zhichun smiled slightly: "That's what I should do."
Of course, she knew that once she came to the capital, her identity would not be hidden forever, so she specially brought this longevity tablet with her.
Originally, she thought that if she couldn't deal with Chen Fang, she would go to the palace to see Queen Dowager Zhao.
Unexpectedly, things went very smoothly, so she put her mind at ease and focused on raising her granddaughter and training the servants at home.
Ever since Yingying was named Princess of Fu'an County, she had guessed that this day would come.
But it doesn't matter if the other party recognizes her. With this longevity tablet, Queen Mother Zhao will definitely be satisfied.
Liu Zhichun smiled and said, "It's getting late. Yingying and her brother should be having their one-year-old celebration. Let's go out."
Nanny Feng did not object and went out with her with a smile.
The stage had already been set up outside. Not long after they arrived, Xie Ying and Xie Di were carried to the stage to have their "Zhuazhou" ceremony.
Xie Ying sat there without moving, and Xie Di looked around curiously.
Then everyone saw a surprising scene.
Xie Di picked up a beautiful powder box. Everyone was surprised and didn't know how to praise him. Then they saw him quickly crawl to Xie Ying with the powder box and handed it to her.
Xie Ying touched his head with a smile, and his eyes lit up. He continued to run to pick up things and then placed them in front of Xie Ying one by one.
The people watching the ceremony were stunned: "???"
Is there such a way to grab the first birthday?
How old are these two children from the Xie family? How cunning are they?
Everyone suddenly felt that their own children seemed to be outdone and felt a little jealous.
However, what made them even more jealous was yet to come.
Xie Di ran several times, and probably felt tired, so he finally stopped running and sat there, refusing to move.
Everyone was immediately satisfied and thought that this was right.
Unexpectedly, Xie Di immediately climbed to a corner of the stage and grabbed the red carpet.
Everyone: "!!!"
He actually packed it up directly!
Looking at Xie Ying again, she just glanced at her brother with a smile and started packing.
When everyone thought of their own children, they suddenly had the urge to run back and beat their kids!
Bah! How could I have given birth to such a useless thing!
After the ceremony of grabbing the first month of the lunar calendar ended, everyone had a meal and went back home.
On the way back, they couldn't help feeling sour in their hearts and decided to discipline their children well!
So on this day, many naughty children were spanked by their parents, crying loudly, and felt aggrieved and took a big grudge against Xie Ying in their hearts!
It’s a pity that Xie Ying didn’t know about this little episode.
She and Xie Xiu were brought into the palace by Luo Zheng.
This is what Emperor Taihe meant.
After all, Emperor Taihe and Concubine Jiang were of noble status, so it was not convenient for them to leave the palace to attend her one-year-old ceremony. So they asked Luo Zheng to bring Xie Ying with him when he returned to the palace so that they could meet her.
Since Xie Ying stayed in the palace for a few days last time, the two hadn't seen her for several months and missed her quite a bit.
In particular, Xie Ying had recently revealed on the street that Princess Anle was pregnant with a younger brother, which made the two of them even more curious about her.
It just so happened that Xie Xiu was now an editor in the Hanlin Academy and could enter and leave the palace on weekdays, so he asked Luo Zheng to take the father and daughter along.
After all, Xie Ying was only one year old, so it was a little inappropriate to bring her into the palace alone.
When he met Emperor Taihe, Xie Xiu bowed respectfully.
Xie Ying was much more perfunctory. Relying on her young age, she looked up directly at Emperor Taihe, opening her eyes wide and pretending to be curious.
Emperor Taihe looked at her delicate, round face and was so adorable that he didn't think she was being offensive by looking directly at him. He even asked with a smile, "Yingying, do you still remember me?"
Xie Ying laughed in agreement: "Huang Huang!"
Emperor Taihe was immediately delighted and laughed heartily at her amusements: "Well, well, well, you are indeed a clever girl. Come here! Bring me the gift for the Princess of Fu'an County."
Xie Xiu was surprised when he heard this. Didn't Emperor Taihe already have his uncle send a gift? Why did he want to give Yingying another gift? Isn't that a bit too generous?
Wang Zhi quickly brought a large tray and walked all the way to Xie Ying.
Because Xie Ying was too short, he had no choice but to kneel in front of her and said with a smile, "These deeds are gifts specially prepared by His Majesty for the Princess of Fu'an County. The Princess can choose one from them as a gift."
Xie Ying looked at him with her eyes wide open, and suddenly she began to wonder if the man in front of her and Emperor Taihe had some serious illness.
She is only one year old now. Can she understand what I am saying to her?
Oh, but never mind, the other party is the emperor after all.
She turned to look at Xie Xiu, who explained cooperatively, "Yingying can pick one from among them."
Only then did Xie Ying obediently stretch out her little hand, took the deed and pretended to flip through it randomly.
Then pick out the largest one.
Wang Zhi just smiled when he saw her grab the second deed.
His smile froze instantly, and he quickly put the tray aside. Then, smiling, he advised Xie Ying, "Princess Fu'an, you can only choose one deed."
Xie Xiu also quickly said, "Yingying, you can only take one, and give the other to Daddy."
Xie Ying immediately felt aggrieved and as if she was about to cry, and looked at Emperor Taihe with tears in her eyes.
Emperor Taihe was afraid that she would burst into tears, so he could only wave his hands helplessly: "Forget it, since Yingying likes it, just give it to her."
It's all wasteland anyway.
Wang Zhi didn't dare to make Xie Ying cry, so after hearing what Emperor Taihe said, he immediately picked up the tray beside him, stood up quickly and stepped aside.
Emperor Taihe then asked Luo Zheng to take Xie Ying to see the Empress Dowager and Concubine Jiang, and kept Xie Xiu to talk.
When Luo Zheng brought Xie Ying to Renshou Palace, Queen Mother Zhao had already learned about Liu Zhichun from Nanny Feng and was very surprised.
So when she saw Xie Ying, her eyes were quite complicated: this child turned out to be Ruyi's granddaughter.
Queen Mother Zhao couldn't help feeling a little disgusted and contemptuous.
