Chapter 380
Concubine Shu greeted him and stood up to take the child from Concubine Wan. "Sixth Prince looks a little stronger, and he is indeed stronger when I hold him. It shows that my sister has taken great care of him."
"That's right. I've noticed that every time I see Concubine Wan, I've never seen Sixth Prince leave her hands. He's taken very good care of her."
Concubine Wan seemed a little embarrassed.
"I'm sorry to bother you, Empress Dowager and Consort Shu. I was able to have Xiaoliu thanks to your careful care. I've been keeping a close eye on him."
"I remember that Xiaoliu was born in March?"
"Yes, my birthday is March 15th."
"It's been three months now, and he really looks much stronger. Hailan, let me hold the child."
Qingying took the Sixth Prince in her arms and took a look. The child was very fair.
He is awake at the moment, his big eyes rolling around.
I don't know what he is looking at.
Just as she was about to speak, Yonghu suddenly grabbed Qingying's skirt and said, "Mother, your son also wants to be held by you!"
As soon as he opened his mouth, Yongqi next to him also started talking.
"Empress Mother, Yongqi also wants you to hold him!"
The two children kept whining incessantly, which gave people a headache.
Hailan pulled them to her side, one in each hand.
One of them patted Yonghu on the buttocks, then picked him up and looked at Concubine Shu, "Sister, Yongqi, thank you for your hard work."
Only after everyone took their turn did the hall finally quiet down.
Concubine Wan held Yongqi in her arms and said with a smile, "Both little princes are lively and active. I also hope that the Sixth Prince will be as lively and active in the future."
Hailan smiled and said, "The baby is three months old now, and the Emperor hasn't given him a name yet?"
Concubine Wan's face looked a little gloomy.
After a moment, everything returned to normal.
"The Emperor is very busy with state affairs, so it's possible he forgot for a moment..."
Qingying glanced at the other person.
She was wondering why Concubine Wan suddenly came here today.
I think it's because of this matter.
Gently patting the Sixth Prince's swaddling clothes, Qingying smiled and said, "Don't worry, sister. The Emperor mentioned this to me a few days ago."
"In fact, it's not just the Sixth Prince. The children born later, including Hui Fei's Fourth Princess and De Fei's Fifth Princess, haven't been given names yet."
"The Emperor has already asked the Imperial Household Department to choose a name. We'll let you know once it's finalized. Don't worry."
Concubine Wan was surprised when she heard this.
"Your Majesty...I thank you so much for remembering the Sixth Prince."
In Concubine Wan's view, the emperor's claim that he remembered this matter was just an excuse made by the queen for the emperor.
It must have been the Empress herself who, remembering that the children had no names yet, reminded the Emperor and ordered the Imperial Household Department to choose characters.
Qingying couldn't guess why Concubine Wan was suddenly so grateful.
But I didn't want to explore it too much.
Waving her hand, she said, "It's just a small matter. I asked someone to make a mung bean and lily soup. I use the best in summer. Would you like to have some?"
In the blink of an eye, it has been a month since I arrived at the garden.
The Empress Dowager did not like to be disturbed by others, so she did not have to pay her respects in the morning and evening.
Qingying followed suit and was too lazy to see people.
The concubines naturally felt much more relaxed.
After a month of pleasant days, my face looks bigger.
Just after breakfast that day, Concubine De came in with the fifth princess.
"I send my regards to the Queen, may I wish you all the best."
"No need to be polite, bring the princess here and let me see her."
Qingying smiled and waived the greeting. The wet nurse came forward and handed the child to Qingying's arms.
Babies in swaddling clothes look cute when they are chubby.
But the Fifth Princess is obviously ten days older than the Sixth Prince, yet she looks much thinner.
She looks fair and tender, but she doesn't smile. I don't know if she is feeling uncomfortable.
"Princess De, please sit down. How is the princess these days? I see she looks a little worried."
Depin smiled bitterly.
"Your Majesty, please forgive me. I was busy with palace affairs and could have done my best, but the Emperor gave me another order these past few days, and I was a little overwhelmed. I inevitably neglected to look after the princess."
