Chapter 849 2 The Princess Turns One Year Old

Yu Mei stood by and served, smiling: "Your Majesty's wish will surely come true!"

No one knew better than her how the Empress had taken care of the Second Princess for nearly a year. The Empress had changed a lot because of having this daughter.

At this time, the eunuch's voice was heard outside: "The Imperial Concubine Chen has arrived --!!!"

Concubine Xue quickly handed the second princess to the wet nurse and stood up to pay her respects to Shen Zhinian: "Your Highness, I pay my respects to Her Majesty, Concubine Chen. May Your Majesty be blessed with good health!"

Shen Zhinian said, "No need to be polite."

After the two of them sat down, Yu Mei served them tea.

Because the Second Princess was born weak, Concubine Xue seldom took her out. This year, Shen Zhinian saw the Second Princess only a few times.

At this moment, she looked at the Second Princess who was held in the arms of her nurse and said, "From what I can see, the Second Princess has grown up a lot since the last time I saw her."

Although the Second Princess was still a little thinner than a normal one-year-old child, it was already good enough that Concubine Xue could raise her to this state.

Speaking of children, Xue Fei's cold eyes also showed some tenderness: "Yes."

"For more than a year, I have been worried every day, fearing that one day, the Second Princess would leave me..."

"Thank goodness, God has mercy on us, and the eldest princess is finally turning one year old!"

Xue Fei herself didn't realize at this time that she was not a talkative person, but in front of Shen Zhinian, she revealed the deepest thoughts in her heart.

In the past, Shen Zhinian might not understand this feeling, but after becoming a mother, she understood Xue Fei's feelings too well.

Shen Zhinian looked at Concubine Xue and said gently, "The Second Princess is a daughter of a rich family, and will be blessed by heaven. After her first birthday, she will be completely safe."

"I came here today because I have something to discuss with you."

After he finished speaking, Shen Zhinian handed over the booklet in his hand: "This is the procedure drafted by the Ministry of Rites and the Ministry of Internal Affairs for the Second Princess's Grasping the One-Year-Old Ceremony."

"Can you see if there is anything else that needs to be added or modified?"

Although Concubine Xue was the mother of the Second Princess, she was only an ordinary concubine and had no authority to assist in managing the six palaces. There was no need for Concubine Chen to tell her about such a thing.

But Concubine Chen still took it into consideration. She was the person in the world who cared about the Second Princess the most. No one cared about the Second Princess more than her, so she asked her these things.

A hint of gratitude appeared in Xue Fei's eyes. She took the booklet and read it carefully.

After taking a look at it, she actually put forward some suggestions for revision.

It’s not that the Ministry of Rites and the Imperial Household Department don’t care about the Second Princess’ affairs.

On the contrary, she is the emperor's bloodline, how dare those people neglect her?

They were just some details, and they didn't understand as well as Xue Fei.

Shen Zhinian and Xue Fei discussed for a long time before finalizing the plan.

She closed the book and said, "After I return, I will send someone to instruct the people in the Ministry of Internal Affairs to modify those parts according to the new plan."

Concubine Xue said gratefully: "Thank you, Concubine Chen!"

Shen Zhinian raised her eyebrows and smiled at her: "I really like the pajamas you made last time. This is just a piece of cake."

Xue Fei's ears turned slightly red and she looked away.

If it were Concubine Sun, she would definitely say at this moment, "Sister Concubine Chen is so good to me, I should do anything for you."

But Xue Fei's personality was much more reserved, and she couldn't say anything sentimental. She just lowered her head, her eyebrows and eyes were very gentle.

After this episode, Shen Zhinian stood up and said goodbye.

Concubine Xue bowed and said, "Your Highness, I respectfully send you off, Your Highness!"

After her figure disappeared, Yu Mei looked at the Second Princess and smiled, "Your Majesty, our Second Princess is a blessed one. Not only do you treat her like your sweetheart, but even the Imperial Concubine Chen cares about her so much."

Concubine Xue took the second princess from the nurse, hugged her and coaxed her gently: "Yes."

"My poor daughter was born prematurely and was weak, and she was separated from her mother just one month after birth. But fortunately, she will have good fortune in the future, and the rest of her life will be smooth sailing!"

Time flies, and it’s the fifth day of July in a blink of an eye.

Today is the second princess’ first birthday!

Little did she know that the closer it got to the final moment, the more nervous Concubine Xue became. She was afraid that something might happen to the Second Princess in the next few days, and she was even so worried that she couldn't sleep well...

Fortunately, nothing happened in the end.

From now on, the second princess will be able to completely get rid of the "curse" she was born with and become like other normal children!

People from the Ministry of Internal Affairs came yesterday and decorated the Yanx Palace in advance.

Because Concubine Xue has a cold personality and doesn't like to compete for favor, the Yanx Palace is usually deserted. This is the first time it has been as lively as it is today.

However...even on this day, the people in the Yanxi Palace did not let down their guard.

Because according to past experience, whenever a large banquet is held in the palace, it is a time of trouble.

In order to avoid any problems with the Second Princess's one-year-old ceremony, everyone was on high alert!

Concubines and royal relatives arrived one after another and took their seats according to their respective seats.

Princess Yun'an, Princess Qingyang and Princess Wenshu entered the palace together.

Princess Yun'an looked around and found that she didn't see the Second Princess. She couldn't help but frowned: "The protagonist today is the Second Princess, why hasn't Concubine Xue brought her out yet?"

"I haven't seen her for a long time. I miss her so much!"

She likes her cute little niece more than her nephew!

Princess Qingyang smiled and said, "Third sister, the second princess is weak and should not be exposed to the wind. I think the Snow Concubine will bring her out only when the time is right."

Princess Yun'an nodded: "That's right. I was negligent."

At this time, the concubine came over with the third prince.

Seeing her, the lower-ranking concubines and some royal relatives immediately stood up and saluted: "I, your concubine, greet your Majesty, may your Majesty be blessed with good fortune and safety!"

Wangpin raised her hand with a smile: "No need to be polite!"

The third prince is His Majesty's eldest son and has a very special status, so many people came up to him to curry favor with him.

When Princess Yun'an's gaze fell on Concubine Wang, a hint of disdain flashed in her eyes.

Didn't she get promoted to concubine just because she raised the third prince? Her background is still not up to par.

However, the Third Prince was Princess Yun'an's nephew, and she loved him very much, so she immediately went over to see the Third Prince.

The third prince is already one year and four months old.

Normally, a child of this age would walk unsteadily, even if he was unsteady, but the third prince was still held in the arms of his nanny.

Seeing this, Princess Yun An frowned and said, "Why don't you let the Third Prince go and let him go by himself?"

Even if they are from a noble family, they cannot be spoiled too much, otherwise it will be detrimental to the child's growth.

The nannies looked at each other, looking a little flustered...

Because the Third Prince can't walk yet...

However, they also understood that if they spoke out the truth in front of so many people, it would damage the Third Prince's reputation.
