Space takes me to ancient times

Chapter 352 Chu Xiangqi

In a twinkling of an eye, it was the day when the child was in the middle school, and Chu Yu didn't leave a single post, but the inner city was full of spirits, and just relying on the wind from the Tao, they came to the door with a big bag of gifts, vowing to be in Rui's house. Showing his face in front of the prince.

Feng Xian led people to guard the door, looking at the endless crowd, he couldn't close his mouth when he smiled.He glanced at the carriage in front of the door, and proudly puffed out his chest.Now, they also have an heir in the residence of Prince Rui, let's see who dares to shamelessly recommend himself as a pillow and say some sarcastic remarks in secret.

Princess Nanyang arrived at the palace an hour earlier to help Qu You take care of the relevant matters. Even Princess Qinghua entertained the guests with a happy face.

Washing children in the Three Dynasties has been a custom since ancient times. One is to wash away dirt and avoid disasters; the other is to pray for good fortune and good luck.The third held a bathing ceremony and gathered relatives and friends to wish the baby good luck.

Huanshan, holding the child in her arms, followed Chu Yu towards the main hall of the palace.

"The emperor is here..." The long singing sounded, and the dragon chariot made of golden nanmu stopped at the gate of Prince Rui's mansion. The eunuchs accompanied by the eunuchs respectfully lifted the brocade curtain, and Emperor Longyu Chu Xu walked away with dignity down.

Feng Xian coughed lightly, stretched his sleeves, and walked over quickly, "Your servant sees my emperor, long live, long live, long live."

"Your Majesty Jin'an!"

Chu Xu swept his eyes and raised his hand lightly, "Get flat."

"Thank you, Your Majesty!"

The crowd quickly retreated to the two sides, bowed their waists respectfully, and only after Emperor Longyu entered the door did they walk in surrounded by each other with joy on their faces.

In the main hall, Liao Zhongsheng's face was full of red light, he glanced at the inner hall from time to time, his heart was full of nervousness, he lowered his head to look at his palm, and squeezed the jade pendant that was like ink all over his body tightly.

"Lord Liao." Mu Qi, Minister of the Ministry of War, cupped his hands.

"Lord Mu is here too." Liao Zhongsheng twitched the corner of his mouth.

Mu Qi laughed, "Prince Rui is happy to have a son, how could the lower officials not come."

Liao Zhongsheng didn't talk to him, he smiled kindly and pointed to the chair beside him.

The lively main hall was full of discussions, and everyone was guessing the gender of the child. Just when Mu Qi couldn't bear it and wanted to ask, Chu Xu led someone in.

Everyone was startled, and they all knelt on the ground, "Long live my emperor, long live, long live."

Chu Xu walked straight to the main seat, glanced casually, and frowned silently, seeing no sign of the child in the room.

"Get up."

"Thank you, Your Majesty!"

Mu Qi followed Liao Zhongsheng obediently, not daring to take a breath, for fear that Emperor Longyu would notice him.

"Here we come, Prince Rui brought the young prince over."

Chu Xu looked sideways, and saw Huanshan walking out cautiously holding a bright yellow brocade quilt in her arms.

"Quickly, come and show me."

Huanshan looked at Chu Yu, saw him nodding, and then walked towards Emperor Longyu.

A smile appeared on Chu Xu's face, and he took the quilt with both hands.He gently pushed aside the thin quilt with his fingers, revealing the chubby baby's face.

ok, good looking...

Chu Xu stretched out his hand and lightly tapped the child's cheek, coaxing in a low voice, "My dear, I am your imperial uncle."

The baby let out a breath, opened his dark eyes, and looked at Chu Xu curiously. Suddenly, he giggled as if he had seen something novel.

"A child prodigy, what a child prodigy, with such a crisp laugh, he will surely accomplish a lot in the future." Mu Qi stood on tiptoe and praised with envy.

"The prodigy descended from heaven and Da Chu is the luck of the ministers and the people of Da Chu." Yin Gaoyi of Luoning Prefecture echoed.

Chu Xu was overjoyed, "Rewards, there are many rewards."

The utensils for washing the third day were fully prepared. Jiang Yunmo placed the copper basin containing the soup made of locust leaves and mugwort leaves and all the etiquette items neatly, and respectfully took the child from Emperor Longyu.

Princess Nanyang smiled gracefully, got up and poured a spoonful of water into the basin, took the gift box from the girl's hand, and threw a huge golden barley into the basin.Princess Qinghua smiled faintly, then went up and threw a black pearl from the South China Sea into it.The female relatives present were not to be outdone, they scrambled forward and threw jade pendants, Ruyi and so on.

Holding the little prince in her arms, Jiang Yunmo looked down at the copper basin overflowing with water, and she couldn't see her brows with a smile. She leaned over slightly, and stirred the jewels in the basin with a mallet in her hand, saying: "Stir once, stir again Stir, elder brother leads younger brother to run. Seventy, eighty, crooked, naughty, Xilihulu are all here!"

The baby caught cold and burst into tears. Huanshan leaned over distressedly and wanted to take the baby, but saw Jiang Yunmo shaking his head, and while washing, he continued to say auspicious words: "wash your hair first, and be a prince; The first generation is higher than the first generation; wash the eggs and become the county magistrate; wash the ditch and become the magistrate of the state".

Huanshan shakes her head and laughs silently, her little prince is an aristocrat, born extraordinary, even if there are no such auspicious words, he will live a prosperous life and rise steadily.

Jiang Yunmo completed the whole set of etiquette, not daring to miss a single step, and only after the ceremony was completed, did she follow Huanshan to wrap the child up again, carefully hugging her in her arms.

Chu Xu looked up at Chu Yu, "Has the child ever been named?"

"Never."

"Okay, then I'll make the decision and give this kid a name." Chu Xu was in a great mood. Seeing this infant child was like seeing the future of Chu State.

Chu Yu nodded, and casually threw the problem over.Regarding the boy's name, he discussed with Qu You for several days, and the name he chose was not satisfactory to the little princess, so she simply refused to choose it and left it to fate.

Chu Xu pondered for a moment, got up and walked to the child, "Xiangqi, Xiangrui Qilin, takes care of all the people of the Great Chu Kingdom, this child is called Chu Xiangqi."

As soon as the words fell, the baby in Jiang Yunmo's arms suddenly groaned, seeming to be extremely satisfied with the name, and giggled non-stop.

"Congratulations to Prince Rui, congratulations to the little prince."

"Thank you." Chu Yu nodded lightly, looking at Chu Xiangqi with tenderness in his eyes.

The praise gradually receded, Liao Zhongsheng got up immediately, walked over with the black jade pendant in his hand, and stuffed it into Chu Xiangqi's swaddle in front of everyone.

Chu Xu raised his eyebrows, and the corners of his mouth slightly curved. His grandfather was really generous. He actually gave the child the heirloom jade pendant representing the identity of the patriarch. It seems that he must be extremely satisfied with Qu You, his grandson-in-law.

"Grandfather, this..." Chu Yu fiddled with the baby, trying to take out the jade pendant.

"This is a gift from my great-grandfather to the child. You brothers don't need to make a fuss. Even if you don't like it, you can reluctantly accept it. It's all my old man's heart." Liao Zhongsheng was really happy, seeing The child seemed to see hope.

With a sticky mouth, Chu Yu exchanged a glance with Chu Xu, and nodded in agreement.

Jiang Yunmo apologized to Chu Xu, carried Chu Xiangqi back to the inner room, and handed it to Qu You who was looking forward to it.

Huan Shan accompanied Qu You, telling Qu You the scene in the main hall vividly, even the matter of Emperor Longyu giving the little prince a name, she also revealed everything, without hiding anything.

Qu You pursed her lips and read it silently, feeling unwilling to give Chu Xiangqi a nickname - Fantuan.

Jiang Yunmo froze for a moment, and looked at Lingyou and the others as if asking for help. What kind of name is it?

Lingyou bit her lips, "Master, this name..."

"Huh?" Qu You raised his face.

"It's really nice." Lingyou twitched the corners of his mouth, showing a smile that was uglier than Ku.

Qu You nodded, gave Lingyou a teachable expression, lowered his head to tease Chu Xiangqi, and yelled at each rice ball, making the hearts of the girls bleed.

Hey, with such an unreliable mother at the booth, the days to come will definitely be extremely exciting.Huanshan suddenly developed some sympathy for Chu Xiangqi in her heart.

The cleaning of the third party was very grand. From the ceremony of adding pots to the naming ceremony of Emperor Longyu, Prince Rui's mansion was once again pushed down to the peak of public opinion. Even the newly born little prince became a child prodigy and became a common people's gossip. talking material.

Chu Xiangqi has never cried since he was born, he eats and sleeps every day, and he looks different every day, from a wrinkled little monkey to a white and fat porcelain doll, that rare human appearance , has won the favor of many people.Everyone in Prince Rui's residence was proud of this young prince, even the cook who went out to do some shopping had to chat with the vegetable vendor.

In the spring of the third year of Longyu, Jiang Guo suddenly invaded, and before Prince Rui had time to prepare for the Zhou ceremony for the young prince, he recommended himself to lead the army to a remote borderland.

　Little fairies, I've been intermittent recently, I'm sorry everyone.
