NFBE Chapter 190 Wash 3
Chapter 190 Wash 3
Babies in the confinement period really grow with the wind and look different every day.
Everyone in the palace was in high spirits. The little prince grew plump and white in just two days under the care of the wet nurse.
His eyes and eyebrows look very much like Chu Musheng.
But Princess Xu Ke was so happy that she held the little prince in her arms all day long.
Even when sleeping, I have to keep it next to me to feel at ease.
That night, Xu Keke was sleeping soundly with the little prince in her arms, when she suddenly felt someone pulling her quilt.
She thought it was Dingdang, Anxiang and the others, so she spoke in a daze.
"I'll hold you and let you sleep for a while. Your Highness is not hungry yet."
However, the man did not answer, but just kept trying to take the child away from her arms.
Xu Ke opened his eyes impatiently, only to find that the person standing in front of him was Chu Musheng.
"Your Highness, today is the Dragon Boat Festival. Aren't you celebrating with the ministers in the palace? Why are you back so soon?"
Chu Musheng held the child in his arms and patted him gently, then whispered to Xu Keke.
"My beloved, it's already the hour of Xu. I missed you and the child, so I came back early."
After saying that, he carried the child out and handed him to Dingdang who was waiting outside, and then walked back alone.
"My beloved, are you hungry? Do you want me to have someone prepare some food for you?"
Xu Keke shook his head.
"Your Majesty, I'm not hungry. However, you haven't been handling government affairs these past few days. Has this had any impact on the court?"
Chu Musheng walked to the bed and sat down, holding Xu Keke's hand.
“Everything is fine, my dear, don’t worry.
Today, the king looked through the names recommended by the Ministry of Rites and the Hanlin Academy.
After that, we discussed it with the Imperial Observatory and finally decided to name our child Mingxuan.
"Ming" symbolizes brightness and integrity, and people hope that their children will have a sunny character. "Xuan" means great momentum.
This king hopes that our child will become a dragon and phoenix among men in the future."
"Chu Mingxuan?"
Xu Ke murmured to himself.
"This is a very good name. Your Highness, thank you for your trouble."
Xu Ke leaned lightly on Chu Musheng's shoulder.
"Your Majesty, I only wish that my child can grow up safely and happily."
Chu Musheng gently stroked Xu Ke's hair and rubbed her flat belly gently with his big hands.
"I understand your thoughts, but as my son, you must shoulder certain responsibilities."
Chu Musheng gently held Xu Keke in his arms.
"My beloved, just focus on taking care of yourself and don't worry about the affairs of the court."
Xu Keke always felt that Chu Musheng seemed to have too high expectations for their child.
But she didn't say much, so she just pulled him onto the bed.
The two hugged each other quietly for a while. Xu Ke put her arms around Chu Musheng's waist and looked up at him.
"Your Highness, should we start preparing for the baby's full moon banquet?"
Chu Musheng nodded.
"The king has already given orders that it must be held with great fanfare."
At this moment, there was a soft knock on the door outside, and the sound of jingling came in.
"My Lord, Princess, the little prince won't stop crying, and the nurse can't comfort him."
Xu Ke quickly stood up.
"It must be that the child is not used to being away from me. I will go and take a look."
Chu Musheng also followed her.
When we arrived at the baby room, we saw the little prince's face was red and he was crying loudly.
Xu Keke took the child and coaxed him softly. After a while, the little prince calmed down.
Chu Musheng looked at this scene and felt relieved.
"My dear, you have worked hard to take care of the child."
Xu Ke looked up at Chu Musheng and winked at him.
"Your Highness, how about I feed the baby myself?"
"No."
Chu Musheng took the child from her arms and handed it to Nanny Wang.
"If the child cries again, you should just imitate the princess and coax him. How can he become a successful person in the future if you spoil him too much?"
After saying that, he pulled Xu Keke back to their dormitory.
Xu Ke was also speechless.
The prince actually snatched the pacifier from their two children...
The next day, someone from the princess's family came.
The Second Madam, Aunt Xie, Xuanyunduo, Xie Su and others brought the maids and nannies to Prince Sheng's Mansion to hold the third day bath for Xu Keke and her child.
Dingdang and Anxiang happily welcomed everyone into the Jinyun Palace where the princess lived.
Xu Ke received them in the side room, and An Xiang waited on her while she reclined on the soft couch.
Everyone sat down around her.
The second lady took Xu Ke's hand and smiled knowingly when she saw that she looked good.
"My dear girl, your mother wanted to come and see you on the day you gave birth.
When they arrived outside the palace, they found out that the prince had ordered that the palace be closed to visitors for the princess's smooth delivery.
After you gave birth, the prince sent someone to deliver a letter to us, saying that my good daughter had successfully given birth to a son.
Your mother and father are so happy to be home. If they hadn't thought you needed a good rest, they would have come to see you and your son long ago."
Xu Ke smiled and nodded.
"I'm sorry to have worried you, Dad and Mom. The prince is just too nervous about this being my daughter's first child. Mom, please don't take it to heart!"
Aunt Xie continued.
"How could that be? The prince values our Coco and the little prince, this is a good thing.
Look at our Keke, now that she’s a mother, she’s even more gentle and dignified.”
Xu Ke held her arm and rocked her.
"Aunt, you're teasing me again."
After acting coquettishly with her aunt, Xu Ke looked at Xuanyunduo and Xie Su.
"Why didn't the two sisters bring their children here today? I haven't seen my two little nephews in a long time."
Xie Su answered first.
"We are all relatives, so the children will definitely play together in the future!"
Xuanyunduo followed.
"Sister, you are still in confinement and need some quiet time. We came here today just to see you and the baby."
At this time, Nanny Wang brought the child over.
"Madam Su, Madam Xie, this is our little prince. He's so handsome."
Everyone's eyes were focused on the child, their eyes full of love and joy.
The second lady took the child from Nanny Wang and gently kissed the child's face.
"My dear, grandma will pray for you."
Xie's aunt also came forward and teased the child.
"Look at this little hand, clenched tightly, it will surely be a blessed one in the future."
At this time, Xuanyunduo came over.
"My little nephew is so cute. Let auntie hug him too."
Xu Ke asked with a smile.
"Sister, when you gave birth to Jun Ge, how heavy was the baby?"
Xuanyunduo carefully took the child, her face full of joy, and answered.
"It seems to be more than six pounds. Where is the little prince?"
Dingdang said quickly.
"When our little master was born, he weighed seven kilograms. The prince weighed him personally."
Xie Su laughed.
"Among our children, the little prince is the most precious."
The second wife looked at the sleeping baby lovingly for a long time.
"The little prince looks more like a prince."
"Yes! That's what everyone in our family says."
Nanny Wang stood by and watched the child closely.
Everyone was talking at once, full of praise.
after awhile.
Dingdang and Anxiang came in with their maids carrying the supplies for the third day of a baby's birth.
The second lady stood up and said.
"Well, we should also hold a baptism ceremony for the child to bless him to grow up safely and healthily."
