Therefore, the Emperor’s family of three naturally treated him with the highest courtesy and respect. Gu Ying personally received him. If it wasn’t for MO Ruyue’s inconvenience at the moment, she would have come personally as well.
Gu Ying personally arranged seats for them and called over Nanny Yan to serve them. After all, she was more familiar with court etiquette and other aspects. Nanny Rong had to help MO Ruyue take care of the triplets.
The Empress Dowager was a little annoyed when she saw this “Ming Yue needs someone right now. You called Nanny Yan over to serve us. She’s too busy.”
MO Ruyue was not like others. She had given birth to three children at once, and no matter how many people she had, she would not be able to find enough.
“Too…”
“Call me Old Madam.”
The empress dowager did not want others to know her identity and interrupted Gu Yings words.
“Old Madam, please let Granny Yan stay here. Otherwise, I won’t be at ease no matter what I do.”
In front of the Empress Dowager, Gu Ying was a proper junior. He did not speak to her like he did to the Emperor.
“Mother, listen to him.
I want to see my sister. Is it convenient?”
As a junior, the Empress understood Gu Yings heart.
“Of course, I’ll take you there now.”
“I’ll go too.”
When the Empress Dowager heard that she was going to visit MO Ruyue, she couldn’t sit still.
The messenger led the Empress Dowager and Empress to the main hall and let the servant girl lead them into the side bedroom.
Ji Hong looked at his mother and wife enviously. He wanted to go too.
Hua Mingliang knew Ji Hong. Seeing him attend MO Ruyue’s child’s washing ceremony and the two noble women following him, he knew without asking that they must be the Empress Dowager and the Empress. What an honor!
He was very happy for MO Yue, which meant that Ji Hong was grateful. Just as he was about to greet Ji Hong, Ji Hong smiled and waved at him.
“Sir, come here. Let’s sit together.
Is this your great-grandson?”
Ji Hong looked at the little boy who was being pulled by Hua Mingliang and asked.
Hua Mingliang didn’t expect Ji Hong to still be the same Ji Hong from back then. He smiled as well.
“Yes,”
When Hua Mingliang mentioned his grandson, his face was filled with a blissful smile.
“Little Treasure, come over and greet us.”
Hua Mingliang paused. He had heard what Ji Hong and his family had said to Gu Ying. They definitely didn’t want their identities to be known. So, what should his grandson call him? He was stumped for a moment.
“Just call me Old Master.”
Ji Hong thought about it for a while. According to the seniority system of the Hua Family and MO Ruyue’s side, he could only let the child address him as
Old Master. Suddenly, he felt that he was very old.
“Hello, Old Master!’
Little Treasure tilted his head and looked at Ji Hong.”
Little Treasure only said two words, but Hua Mingliang and Ji Hong understood what he meant.
Ji Hong laughed out loud and was instantly healed. She pulled the jade pendant off her waist and stuffed it into Little Treasure’s hand.
Hua Mingliang saw that the jade pendant was too valuable and did not reject it. Ji Hong waved at him, but Little Treasure had already cleverly bowed to Ji Hong to thank him.
“Thank you!
Little Treasure only knew how to say two words, but he could express himself very clearly.
“Alright, study hard in the future!”
Little Treasure nodded vigorously.
Today, the main characters, the triplets, were preparing for the three-bath ritual.
When MO Ruyue gave birth, Doctor Qin could tell that she was having twins, so there were three midwives present on the day of delivery. Today, the three midwives also came to wash the third child.
It just so happened that they would hold a three-way bath for the three children together later, and each midwife would carry one child.
First of all, they had to pay their respects respects to the Goddess of Child-endowing. She could bless the child to grow up safely and not fall sick or suffer any disasters.
After paying respects to the gods, she began to add anything into the basin. Every day, the midwife would say the relevant blessings.
Those who were generous would add gold, silver, jade, etc. into the basin.
Usually, they would add peanuts, lotus seeds, and other good things.
When everyone was adding food, they would throw it into the copper basin and it would make a crisp ding dong sound. Therefore, the basin was also called the sound basin. The midwife looked at the things that had entered the basin and said her blessings. Her eyes were even brighter.
The first to fill the basin was Ji Hongs family of three, followed by Physician Qin, Hua Mingliang, and the others.
Because they were triplets, the basin they prepared was relatively large. Even though the basin was so large, it was almost full. After adding hot water into it, they began to bathe the triplets.
As the weather was cold, she would not really put the child into the basin to wash. Besides, those things were all germy, so MO Ruyue did not want to do it. The midwife symbolically dipped her hand into the basin and touched various parts of the child’s body while singing a festive and auspicious song.
The midwife looked at the gold and silver ingots in the basin. Her smile had never disappeared from the beginning. Her cheeks were probably twitching from laughing and she could not put it down.
At this moment, the triplets had stopped crying after washing up. The emperor, empress dowager, and empress dowager were surrounding them.
The main point was that it was a big problem to name the three children.
First, his surname. He had to take Guying’s surname. Guyings ancestor’s surname was Qin, and his children’s surname was Qin. Guying had also received the Xue family’s favor. Back then, he had already agreed with his adoptive parents that if he had a child, his first son would take the Xue family’s surname.
In the end, MO Ruyue made the final decision. What was so difficult about it? She had given birth to three children at once!
The eldest of the three children took Guyings surname, Xue. He was indebted to the Xue family, so he was called Xue Chengen. The second and third children followed the older brothers and sisters in front of them. The older brother was called Qin Zichao, and the younger sister was called Qin Zilu.
Actually, according to Qingting and Qinghao’s names, they should be Zi Chao and Zi Mu. However, the word Mu was not suitable for naming, and it was even more unsuitable for a girl’s name, so he changed Mu to Lua
When Ji Hong heard the names of the three children, he waved his hand and called the chamberlain beside him. He whispered a few words to him, and the chamberlain turned around and left.
After the mother-in-law finished singing the three wedding ceremonies, a eunuch’s loud and clear singing sounded outside the courtyard.
“The Holy Decree has arrived!”
Everyone who knew Ji Hongs identity looked at him in confusion. Ji Hong smiled but didn’t say anything, waiting for the eunuch to come in and announce the decree.
“Princess Ming Yue…”
As usual, he first praised MO Ruyue.” Princess Ming Yue’s daughter, Qin Zilu, is specially conferred the title of Princess Chaoyang!’
After the imperial edict was read out, Gu Ying hugged his daughter and kowtowed to thank the Emperor for accepting the edict. He even had the intention to kneel down in Ji Hongs position.
Those who didn’t know what was going on would only think that he was kowtowing to the imperial edict.
The eunuch received Ji Hongs signal. How could he let Gu Ying kneel with the young princess in his arms? He quickly went forward to help him.
The others started discussing in hushed voices.
By right, this title should have been given to his son first. Why was it given to a girl as a princess while the other two young masters were not given titles?
Even so, it was still enviable.
This was simply giving birth to a golden lump. She had just been born and was already given the title of princess.
There were even some ignorant children who ran to Qin Qingting and said,” Aren’t you your mother’s good daughter? Moreover, you are your mother’s eldest daughter. Why didn’t she give you the title of princess and instead gave it to your sister?”
Although the adults were scolding the child, they also wanted to know what Qin Qingting was thinking.
Qin Qingting didn’t care at all. Instead, she was very pleased with herself.
“Are you stupid? I’m going to inherit my mother’s medical skills in the future. With my sister’s identity as a princess, as well as my powerful brother and uncle, my brother will definitely be very powerful in the future.”
Everyone listened to the little one’s clear and logical statement, and it seemed to be the case.
She didn’t get to see the excitement, but she was jealous again..
