Chapter 471 Empress Dowager Liu Delegates Power
Normally, babies’ eyes can follow people around at around three months old, but the third prince’s eyes were a little dull.
It was said that the second princess had defects from her mother's womb. She was three months old, but still about the size of a one- or two-month-old baby.
But the third prince was born normal, and the imperial physician never said there was anything wrong with his body. Why did he still look so thin after being over half a year old?
It's not that everyone didn't have doubts in their hearts, but the imperial physician often went to check the pulse of Concubine De and the Third Prince, and he couldn't find any problem with the Third Prince's pulse.
If they kept saying that the Third Prince was not a normal child and were accused of cursing the prince, it would be a disaster...
The wet nurses looked at each other and understood the worry on each other's faces.
They took care of the third prince day and night, so naturally they knew more about his situation than anyone else.
The Third Prince not only looks strange, but also has many other differences from other babies...
Normally, a six-month-old baby would be able to lift his head and roll over, but the third prince couldn't lift his head or roll over...
But the imperial physician did not find any problems with the Third Prince's body. In the end, he only said that he might be developing a little slower than other children. He could only wait until the Third Prince grew up a little and then observe.
Empress Defei firmly believes that the Third Prince is a late bloomer and will surely be extraordinary in the future!
When a mother looks at her own child, she naturally thinks everything is good, and the wet nurses dare not say anything.
Concubine Liu had already regarded the Third Prince as her adopted son, so she naturally paid more attention to him.
But... the more she looked, the more she felt that what her aunt said was right, the third prince was ugly.
Compared with the delicate and pretty Yun'er, who could like such an ugly child?
The victory lies in that he is a prince!
Concubine Liu could only comfort herself in her heart that everything would be fine when the Third Prince grew up.
"His Majesty has arrived --!!!"
"The virtuous concubine has arrived --!!!"
Hearing the eunuch's loud shout, everyone immediately stood up and saluted: "Your Majesty, long live your Majesty!"
Except for Concubine Liu, everyone else bowed to Shen Zhinian again: "Greetings to Her Majesty the Virtuous Concubine, may Your Majesty be blessed with good fortune and peace!"
At this moment, Shen Zhinian couldn't help but sigh. When she first entered the palace, she was just a small concubine and had to bow respectfully to everyone she met.
But now, she has become the leader of the four concubines, and is worshipped by everyone every time she appears!
Shen Zhinian was born to like dazzling wealth and tremendous power, and naturally enjoyed the feeling of reaching a high position!
This is not counting.
She will surely ascend to the throne step by step, and make all the people in the former dynasty and the harem kneel at her feet and shout "Long live her!"
This was the first time that Concubine Xian had appeared in public since giving birth. After the emperor called out, many people's eyes fell on Shen Zhinian.
As the mother of the fourth prince, she was dressed quite solemnly today. She was wearing a sky-blue palace dress, and the long skirt that dragged on the ground was embroidered with exquisite flowers. The complex flowers were clearly layered and lifelike.
The collar and cuffs were made of fine silk with silver patterns, which shone brightly under the sunlight.
Around her waist was a belt of the same color, wrapping around her slender waist. She wore a lily sachet, which matched the flowers on her skirt.
Her hair was tied up in a bun, with a jade hairpin inserted diagonally on top, dotted with pearls and gemstones. The most eye-catching thing was the squirrel and grape pattern hairpin in front.
Needless to say, her face was delicately made up, with plum blossoms dotted on her forehead. She had lost her youthfulness and immaturity, and now had a pair of starry eyes, which were charming and enchanting!
This outfit is gorgeous, elegant and noble. Even though she has a charming temperament, she does not look frivolous, but exudes the majesty of a favored concubine!
At this moment, everyone once again deeply realized why everyone in the palace said that Concubine Xian was only 70% beautiful, but when she stood there, she looked 100% stunning!
Everyone's eyes can't help but be attracted by her. Even compared with the stunningly beautiful imperial concubine, she is not inferior at all!
Seeing the astonishment in everyone's eyes, Handan, who was standing at the back, puffed out her chest proudly!
She is extremely talented in makeup, and her hands can turn decay into magic. What's more, the queen is already beautiful, and with her skillful dressing, she will definitely outshine all the other beauties!
Just like Fuqiu said privately, she is not smart, nor calm, but she can stay by the side of the queen steadily and be trusted by her, so she must have her own strengths!
Concubine Sun's eyes fell on Shen Zhinian's waist. When she saw the sachet embroidered with lilies, her face turned slightly red...
Sister Xianfei actually wore the sachet she embroidered on such an important day.
It’s a great feeling to be valued when you give out this kind of gift!
Concubine Liu's eyes were somewhat gloomy...
When she took Shen Zhinian under her wing, she never imagined that he would one day grow to his current level.
Looking back, Concubine Liu realized belatedly that she had always looked down upon this woman...
"Miss."
Cuizhu stood beside her and reminded her in a low voice.
Today is the Fourth Prince’s full moon day, so we can’t be so rude…
Only then did Concubine Liu suppress the complicated emotions in her heart and put on a fake smile.
"The Queen Mother has arrived --!!!"
As soon as Shen Zhinian and Nangong Xuanyu sat down, Empress Dowager Liu slowly walked in from outside, surrounded by palace servants.
Everyone immediately stood up and saluted: "Greetings to the Queen Mother, may Her Majesty live a thousand years and a thousand thousand years!"
Empress Dowager Liu had a noble status since she was born, and years of pampering made her look even more elegant and noble. Especially her pair of phoenix eyes that looked majestic without anger, which made people feel awe towards her.
She sat down at the main seat and said slowly, "Everyone, get up."
"Thank you, Queen Mother!"
When Empress Dowager Liu's eyes fell on Shen Zhinian, she was filled with love and admiration: "Xian Fei, you gave birth to the fourth prince and expanded the royal family. You are a hero to our Great Zhou!"
If she didn't know that the person who bribed the midwife to harm her was the Queen Mother, Shen Zhinian would have really thought that the other party valued her so much.
She stood up, bowed, and said respectfully, "This is my duty as a concubine in the palace. Thank you for your praise, Empress Dowager."
"He's a good kid. I like him very much!"
Empress Dowager Liu said in a gentle voice: "Although I don't ask about the affairs of the harem, I have heard from the imperial concubine many times that you are calm and steady and handle things properly. In the days when you followed me to learn the affairs of the six palaces, there was nothing you did not do beautifully."
"Now you are the virtuous concubine, the first of the four concubines. In the future, you must work together with the noble concubine to serve the king and manage the harem!"
