Emperor Kangxi sent me to marry

Chapter 266
The emperor was not in the capital, so the princess's christening ceremony was not grand, but it was warm nonetheless.

Haifeng enjoys her leisure time, lest there are too many guests and she has to socialize endlessly.For guests who are not familiar with them, ask Anjun Prince Fujin to help entertain them; for those who are more familiar, Ji Lan will take them out to dinner after saying a few polite words.

The person who had been sitting in the inner room with her was the eldest princess who came back from Horqin to congratulate her.

"Khan Amma came to live with us in early August and talked about you. When he left, I always felt panicked. I simply told your eldest brother-in-law to pack his luggage and come back. This is really a coincidence. I will If you arrive a day late, you won't be able to catch up with the excitement of the red silk hanging all over the house."

"Don't let Duobu hear what eldest sister said. He became more and more complacent. He didn't know what new ideas he would come up with later. I prepared to give so many names, but the word 'Rui' was shouted away from outside. I To use it or not to use it?”

"If you ask me, don't be in a hurry. You can wait and name her. Khan Amar hasn't come back yet. If he gives her a golden word and then changes it again and again, it won't be good."

The eldest princess held the dressed little princess in her hands and couldn't help but kiss her twice.

"The little girl is interesting. She looks so much like her fourth brother-in-law. She deserves to be loved by her brother-in-law."

Speaking of this, Haifeng also found it magical.

She looked exactly like her mother, so she naturally thought that if her daughter was born, even if she couldn't recreate it again, at least half of her genes would be retained.

As a result, when I saw it the next day, except for her fairer skin, the rest of the child's eyebrows, eyes, forehead and chin looked like a small piece of cloth.

I really don’t know what a girl will look like when she grows up.

What was even more bizarre was Dobu's reaction.

Last year, on the day of the princess's daughter's baptism, the man upstairs in Changchun Garden's Luhua Palace, who had sworn that he did not want children, was now his daughter's slave.

In Haifeng's eyes, he already had some signs of separation anxiety, and he had to ask his daughter if he couldn't see her for three minutes.

"How much milk did you have in the morning?"

"Did she throw up?"

"I think the swaddle is too tight for her comfort."

After feeding yesterday morning, when her daughter fell asleep, Dobu moved a stool and sat next to the cradle, watching intently.

I watched it for a full hour or more.

Seeing this scene, Haifeng couldn't believe his eyes.

During lunch, she couldn't help it and asked him what he thought.

"Didn't you say you don't like children? Last year, I was crying over this."

Duobu's face was neither red nor out of breath, and he explained calmly:
"Children are different. When you gave birth to her, you suffered much less than last time. It shows that this child is more sensible than the other one and will be considerate of the difficulties of her parents."

"Isn't it because she looks like you?"

"Can't you?"

One sentence stopped Haifeng in his tracks.

Yes, a father likes his daughter more because he looks like him, so what’s wrong with that?

In fact, if she could move freely like Dobu and not feel tired all the time and have to rest in bed, she would keep this little life that had just left her body in her sight at all times and not be allowed to leave easily. .

Let him go.

Dobu is passionate about childcare, which is better than her being alone with the wet nurses.

The eldest princess had already given birth to two sons and was very experienced. She took a round fan and fanned it gently.

"Children all like the wind. You see, if I slap it, she will laugh." Little Gege was very proud of her aunt, and kept giggling in the breeze.

"Oh, it's such a coincidence that this slave has come to pay homage to the eldest princess."

"Hello mom."

The person coming was the dowry nun from Horqin who came from the Queen Mother's side. The eldest princess did not dare to neglect and stood up to greet her. Haifeng was about to lean up and sit up, but the nun took a few steps quickly and stepped forward to stop her.

"Fourth princess, please don't kill this slave. Before leaving, the master repeatedly asked the princess to take good care of her during her confinement."

"Then I'll help you grow up. Please ask mom to take a look at little Princess."

"I'm not busy. I'm here today mainly to give three baptismal gifts to little Princess on behalf of the Emperor and the Queen Mother. This is the gift list. It's best for the fourth princess to go over it first and finish my errands."

Haifeng first asked someone to move a footrest and gave it to Grandma to sit on, and then opened the gift list to read the contents.

The gold and silver ingots, rice grains and eggs, cattle, sheep, chickens and geese, bedding and small clothes were placed in the washing basin.
She had experienced the baptism of the princess's daughter, so she naturally knew that although the items were still the same, their weight had increased.

"Isn't it, it's a bit much."

"Returning to the princess, this is the queen mother's wish. The queen mother and the fifth princess paid for the extra money and did not disturb the Ministry of Internal Affairs. The queen mother said that if the princess gets a boy at one stroke, she will follow the rules. If she gives birth to a little princess, she will Send more, lest those who are short-sighted think that the princess will lose power in the palace if she doesn't give birth to a boy. No matter how the emperor treats you, I still feel sorry for you."

The eldest princess saw that her sister was a little excited, so she quickly led the nanny to look at Little Princess.

Haifeng took the opportunity to wipe away a few uncontrolled tears that overflowed.

After her emotions calmed down, she still had a flawless smile on her face.

"Thank you for your hard work, Mom. At least come to my place and have a light meal before leaving. Everything else about my place is average. As for the drinks, they are probably better than those in the palace. Mom, please enjoy two drinks. By the way, here is the gift list. Have you seen Yuqing Palace?"

"How could you not have seen it? The Crown Princess helped buy everything. Originally, she wanted to add some more, but the Queen Mother stopped her."

"Oh, that's good. My daughter has more baptisms than the crown prince's brother. I'm afraid my sister-in-law will be angry."

"Oh, what did the princess say? You and the Crown Princess have been friends for many years."

After the nun went out, the eldest princess asked the wet nurse to help look after the child, and she talked to her sister alone.

"What's going on between you and Sister Rong? Are you at odds with each other? You're even divided."

"I can't tell. Does my eldest sister know about my stay in Shandong, Shaanxi Province?"

"I know. The fifth sister told me everything when she came. I also know about the Tong family's marriage, and how Baoqing and Baocheng made trouble to raise the price of food and wine."

The eldest princess, as the eldest sister, has taken care of the two princes since they were young. After hearing this, she was really moved.

"Both of them were not bad in nature when they were young. Although they were noisy at times, they could reconcile in two days at most. They were all over the same reserve, and they caused a lot of upsets. You tried to ask the Crown Princess to persuade them, but it turned out that Got a nail?"

"Ah."

"You have to think about what will happen to them in the future. Either you don't care, or you have to take care of it to the end. Otherwise, when the new emperor takes the throne, you and this little girl will have to be punished."

Haifeng was made to cry a little by the eldest princess's practical advice.

"Don't worry, big sister, I've come this far, so I don't want to look back."

No matter who ascends the throne, she will be the princess of the country.

　According to the Manchu records of the Ministry of Internal Affairs, the three rites for the baptism of the eldest daughter of Princess Kejing were as follows: two gold ingots weighing three coins, four silver ingots, and a pair of wet nurses and a couple.There is a decorated cradle, various silk and satin clothes, and eight tables with bedding.Six hundred sets of various fine rice eggs.Two cows, twenty sheep, twenty geese, and forty chickens.What should I say? It seems to me that there are quite a lot, but when I look closely, there are not many.This is difficult to comment on.
