Honghui is reborn in Legend of Zhen Huan, I will protect my mother
Chapter 150 The Day of Bathing
Two days later, a grand bathing banquet was held at the Fourth Prince's residence.
Before the third-day bathing banquet is the third-day bathing ceremony, which is also called "three-day baby washing". It has been popular since the Tang Dynasty and is highly valued by both the common people and the royal family.
The fourth prince's third-day bathing ceremony was quite elaborate and grand. Compared with the third-day bathing ceremonies of the third prince and the eldest, second and third princesses, it was obviously more grand.
As for the eldest prince Honghui, there was no comparison at all. He was born at a time when Lady Fu Jin was most proud, so the third-day-bath banquet was inevitably a bit shabby, not even as good as the third lady in the mansion.
Perhaps the contrast was too stark, and some people came up to him to stir up trouble, saying things like "The prince is too partial" and "The fourth prince is really valued by the prince". Honghui sent them away and punished them severely, which swept away the atmosphere in the mansion.
This is a later story, let’s not talk about it for now!
Many people from the royal family and clan came today, including those from the Ulanara clan and the Gioro clan.
She stood far away with a sullen face. Although she didn't lose her temper, it was obvious that she was angry and holding a grudge.
"Mrs. Ulanara, congratulations, you have a new grandson..." A young woman who couldn't read the expressions came up to congratulate her, but she didn't know that she was flattering the horse's leg.
Jueluo said a few perfunctory words with a fake smile, but she kept cursing in her heart, "You are all bitches, you don't know the difference between a man and a woman, and you come to show off in front of me!
And there is Yixiu. A bastard is a bastard. Once she gets to power, she becomes rampant. She is really hateful!
My poor Rouze, she was born into a wealthy and noble family, but she was oppressed by a bastard and could not stand up. God is blind!
Humph! The offspring of a bastard are also bastards. As long as there is a soft child, you will never have the chance to become a legitimate son in your lifetime! ..."
She saw it all. Her own Rouze's face was pale, her eyes were empty and confused, and she stood in the corner distraught and helpless. There was a group of ladies-in-waiting and imperial concubines around her, but no one came forward to talk to her or flatter her. It was obvious how miserable she was.
Jueluo looked at her distressedly, not even a glance at the protagonist of today, the Fourth Prince. While feeling sorry for her daughter, she also kept cursing, "He is such a switch-flipper, saying that he is a fence-sitter is a compliment!"
Jueluo's voice did not attract any attention, and everyone's attention was focused on the third-day bathing ceremony.
First add more water to the basin.
The maids poured the warm water boiled with locust leaves and mugwort into the bathtub, and then the guests came forward one after another to throw their gifts into the water. The gifts were thick and thin, precious ones like gold, silver and jade ornaments, and cheap ones like peanuts, dates and chestnuts. Suddenly, a layer of water piled up under the bathtub.
The midwife had a huge smile on her face and blurted out a series of auspicious words: "May you have a son soon, and may you have many sons..." After the third day bath ceremony, all the gifts belonged to her.
After the filling of the basin is completed, the basin will be rang.
As the name suggests, the "ringing basin" means stirring the basin with a wooden stick and then washing the newborn's body. The louder the newborn's cry, the more auspicious it is, so it is called the "ringing basin".
The one who washed the Fourth Prince at today's third-day bathing ceremony was Concubine De's half-sister, the wife of the First-Class Duke Aling'a, Uya. Her hands moved non-stop and she kept muttering, "Wash your head first, and you will become a king; then wash your shoulders, and you will become a high-ranking official; finally wash your waist, and each generation will be higher than the last..." The auspicious words were basically fixed and there was no need to elaborate on them.
Logically speaking, the Fourth Prince's nominal concubine, Guo Luomama, or Gioro, should have been arranged to wash the Fourth Prince's body, but neither Yinzhen nor Yixiu agreed to this arrangement. Furthermore, Gioro herself was unwilling to take on this responsibility, so someone else had to be replaced.
This Uya family was closely related by blood, had a noble status, and had many children. Even though Nianhulu was not close to the Fourth Prince's mansion, she stood out from the crowd of ladies and took on the responsibility of washing the Fourth Prince's body.
"Wow wow wow..."
The Fourth Prince's cries became louder and louder. The guests started to say auspicious words one after another, and the atmosphere was very lively.
There is no need to elaborate on the dressing and playing the three games after the bell, it is just a fixed process and there is no room for variety.
After the third-day baptism ceremony is over, the guests have to move to another location to attend the third-day baptism banquet that will be held later.
During the third-day bathing ceremony, everyone gathered together to watch the ceremony, but not the third-day bathing banquet. The women and men were separated, with the women having their own place and the men having their own banquet, strictly observing the rule of "for seven years, men and women do not sit at the same table or eat together."
There is no need to say much about the men's banquet. Everyone toasts each other with glasses, and when they drink to their heart's content, there won't be so many troubles.
But the banquet for the women was not like this.
"Fourth sister-in-law, I offer you a toast." The Eighth Concubine's eyes were filled with gloom, and a sharp edge flashed across her eyes from time to time. One could tell from the looks of her that she was not someone that was easy to mess with.
Rouze put on a smiling face, picked up the wine glass and drank it all! She didn't want to embarrass herself in front of all the concubines and imperial edicts.
"Fourth sister-in-law, the concubines in your house should be disciplined. They are getting more and more unruly and don't even take us concubines seriously!" Eighth Concubine Guo Luoluo was emotional and became more and more excited as she spoke. "One by one, the concubines are looking at the master and thinking that he will fall for them. They are used to acting coquettishly and foolishly, vying for favor and grabbing power. But we, as concubines, can't let go of our status. We have watched the master's body and mind being taken away by them. In the end, he is only left with the title of concubine..."
The female relatives present had different expressions. Was the Eighth Lady drunk? How could she say such nonsense in such an occasion?
In consideration of the good relationship between her master and the Eighth Brother, the Ninth Lady Dong E hurried out to smooth things over, "Eighth Sister-in-law, you are drunk, have a bowl of sobering soup first..."
"I'm not drunk, I'm just sad..." The sudden feeling of grievance surged into Guo Luoluo's heart, and she choked for a moment.
"Eighth sister-in-law, today is the third-birthday banquet for Fourth Brother's Fourth Prince. It's a big day. Aunts, aunties, and sisters-in-law are all here. If you have anything to say, we can talk later..."
Guo Luoluo had always been fearless and didn't fall for her tricks. Besides, she was indeed drunk, so she had no intention of restraining herself.
"You are also a useless person. You can give birth but you can't win back the heart of the Ninth Prince. If that bastard inherits the huge Ninth Prince's Mansion one day, you will cry! Wuwu... You can all give birth, but why can't I? Yinsi, Yinsi..."
Rouze was filled with sorrow and spoke up: "Sister-in-law of Eighth Brother, isn't your life easy? You can have whatever you want in the Eighth Prince's Mansion, and my Eighth Brother listens to you in everything. Everyone says that you two are in love, and even your illegitimate children are raised by you. What else are you not satisfied with?"
Her life was really hard. She had to defend the false title of a concubine and fight for favor with the concubines. She was extremely cautious in her daily life, for fear that the Fourth Master would dislike her and lose his favor again.
The days of falling out of favor are the hardest to bear!
