Chapter 443 First Year Banquet

There are two major events in Beijing in April.

First of all, His Highness Changsun will be one year old on April 6th!

This little boy can now speak some simple words, such as niang, auntie, ahpan (Afang), grandpa, grandma, and his dearest grandpa, YaYa.

Song Qingyue taught the little boy so many times that it was grandpa, not duck, but when he called him grandpa, he still called him "duck". Obviously, the names of "aunt" and "father" were quite standard, which made His Majesty the Emperor very depressed.

In addition, the little guy can already stand and walk on his own.

This careless little kid is like an out-of-control cannonball every time he lands on the ground, scurrying everywhere. Before he can find a stable path, he starts running in a hurry. His two short legs are as if they are equipped with electric motors, and they are running very fast.

I can't even tell anyone to keep up.

Even Song Qingyue, who encouraged her children to do more outdoor activities and explore the world on their own, was frightened by this bold and mischievous little guy.

One time I took him to play in a waterside pavilion, and without paying attention, the little boy rushed straight into the pond!

The koi carps in the pond, which were fed like fat pigs, were so frightened by their cubs that they fled in all directions. The maids were also frightened and screamed loudly. They were all girls, and none of them knew how to swim.

Aunt Bai didn't know how to do it either, she was so frightened that she lost her mind.

Ah Fang, a solid-minded and stupid girl, couldn't swim, so she jumped in without thinking.

As a result, Song Qingyue, the only one who could swim, went down personally and fished out the little boy and A Fang together.

As a result, the little boy was scolded by his father and spanked three times until his plump and white buttocks were red.

The little boy was so wronged that he howled very hard, shouting at the same time: "Auntie! Auntie! Daddy is so bad!"

Song Qingyue turned her head and ignored him. If it really hurt, he wouldn't have the strength to howl here.

When the little guy saw that his mother didn't come to save him, he immediately started shouting "Mommy! Mommy! The baby is in pain! Mommy! Wow, wow, wow!"

Aunt Bai was so frightened that she was already lying on the bed to rest. When the little boy saw that Aunt Bai didn't show up, he started calling for help one by one.

This is a little man, who knows who will pamper him!

The little cub howled until midnight and finally ran out of energy. He pursed his lips and looked at his mother with tears in his eyes, hoping that she could at least give him some comfort.

Song Qingyue finally relented and agreed to sleep with him at night.

Li Zhao was angry and funny, but he slept very sweetly while holding his mother and daughter in his arms. It seemed that with these two in his arms, his whole heart was filled, feeling at ease and satisfied.

After such an experience, Song Qingyue planned to take the maids from Wufangzhai to Xianyue Village to learn swimming when the weather gets warmer.

As for the little boy, he can now learn in the bathhouse behind Baoguang Hall.

I originally thought that after the little guy fell into the water once, he would be afraid of the pool and would cry and refuse to learn. It turned out that this damn little enemy inherited his father's personality trait of "the most stupid person in the world" and was not afraid at all.

, but had a lot of fun playing in the water.

Song Qingyue, whose face was splashed with water by the kid, felt very tired, and was afraid that the kid would kill herself sooner or later because she was too bold.

She even thought that it would be better not to teach him how to swim?

The bath was not deep, so a small swimming ring made of sheepskin was specially made for the baby.

The little kid was so excited about the swimming ring that he screamed loudly and splashed wildly in the water. Song Qingyue was so noisy that her head was shaking.

"A Kun! Li Kun! Stop! I said stop!" Song Qingyue finally couldn't bear it and burst out, "Li Kun, if you don't stop, I will let you try the fried shredded pork with bamboo shoots that I fried for my mother!"

Li Kun was a very clever kid. Although he didn't know what fried shredded pork with bamboo shoots was, he had a gut feeling that it wasn't delicious. Moreover, his mother seemed really angry. He quickly stopped and looked at her and blinked.

Blinking his innocent and cute big eyes, he opened his little hands and said, "Aniang, Aniang, hug! Hug!"

Tsk!

There is simply nothing you can do against him.

Song Qingyue reached out to hug him and kissed her son's cheek.

Time flies so fast!

This little guy is turning one year old in a blink of an eye!

In the past, the Full Moon Wine was not held in a big way because of concerns about the child's health. Now, the emperor personally ordered a big one to be held at the Hot Spring Palace for the first birthday party.

Li Zhao didn't want to burden Song Qingyue, so he disagreed: "Father, Yue'er is busy enough on weekdays. The construction of the nursing homes in Deshun Prefecture, Jinan Prefecture, Qingzhou Prefecture, and Yanzhou Prefecture is being implemented. Yue'er wants to

Zhaoyue Elementary School, public bathhouse, Baoyue Pavilion branch and Zhaoyue Bank are all set up in one step, I am very busy these days!"

The emperor glanced at Wang Luen, who immediately stepped forward with a smile and said: "Your Highness, don't worry, His Highness Changsun's birthday banquet is not a matter of the Jin Palace family. I must find someone reliable to help arrange it."

But Li Zhao kept a straight face and still disagreed: "Father, the palace has a lot of money to spend, and there is not so much money to celebrate the little kid's birthday."

Tsk!

The emperor glared at Li Zhao, who said confidently: "Father, the Ministry of Internal Affairs still owes me the royal salary last year and did not give me the Jin Palace!"

emperor:……

No, the navy needs to build ships, the firearms camp needs to build guns, the army needs to be expanded, and roads and bridges need to be built. There are too many places to spend money. I know that the eldest son and his wife are both rich people, and they don’t care about the salary, so

Did you just delay it and not give it to me?

The emperor coughed twice, cleared his throat, and said, "In this way, I, the grandpa, will pay for the first-year banquet."

Li Zhao hummed, it seems that Father Juelu is planning to default on his debt this year.

The two men could not come to a conclusion, so Li Zhao had to go home and ask Song Qingyue what he meant.

In fact, Song Qingyue didn't want to throw a big party. Firstly, it was unnecessary, it would waste people and money, and secondly, she would be hated by others. She was sure that in a few months, the emperor would never pay for the birthday party of the eldest son of the Li Yi family. Li Zhao is now

He's not a prince yet, so glaring at him like that is just getting himself into trouble.

However, Song Qingyue finally agreed to give the little boy a big show. There were two reasons. One was to make his father-in-law happy, and the emperor's kindness was too good to be let down casually. The other was to consider the Song family, his mother's family.

Now that the eldest brother is far away in Guizhou, his father has retired at home, and the second brother is still in the hut, Song Qingyue is not afraid of anything else, but she is afraid that some people who do not know how to appreciate people dare to put their hands on the Song family's business and industry, which will cause trouble.

But if Li Kun's first birthday party can be held in a big way, others will know that there is a Jin Princess in the Song family standing like a divine needle in the sea!

In the end, the first birthday banquet of His Royal Highness Li Kun, the eldest grandson, was held extremely grandly with the support of his imperial grandfather.

Tan Hongen, the eunuch in charge of the Inner Palace, and Qin Jifu, prepared very carefully, and nothing was inappropriate.

All the dignitaries from all over the court came, even Yu Weiliang and Fu Chengfeng, who didn't usually interact with people, also came.

Everyone basically knows that the eldest grandson was born nearly a month prematurely. Many well-informed people also heard that when the eldest grandson was born, not only was he not breathing, but his whole body was purple. Later, for some reason, he was married to Princess Jin.

I personally rescued him.

However, many people scoffed at this, thinking that this rumor was an attempt by the Emperor and His Highness to put money on Princess Jin's face.

The child must be alive because of Dr. Meng, who is a highly skilled medical doctor.

Definitely yes!

Many people wanted to come and see if His Highness the eldest grandson, who was born prematurely, was a frail and ailing child.

The health of the child is related to the future of the Jin Palace!

As a result, many people who wanted to see Song Qingyue's jokes were disappointed.

His Royal Highness Changsun is not only very healthy, but also looks stronger than the average one-year-old child!

He has extremely thick black and soft hair, and this little baby is only one year old. He can stand firmly on his own - no, he can even run!

Ah, his voice was so loud that all the guests in the garden could hear him shouting "yellow duck duck" at the emperor!

Many noble ladies couldn't bear it immediately and wanted to come forward to ask Princess Jin for advice on how to raise their children to be so strong and cheerful.

Song Qingyue listened to these comments with pride and embarrassment at the same time. Yes, the little cub was indeed raised very healthy! But in terms of cheerfulness... it was probably a bit too cheerful. Let's not mention it, it gave me a headache!

So before the banquet started, Song Qingyue was surrounded by ladies who wanted to ask for advice on how to raise children.

Of course, Song Qingyue did not hesitate to tell everyone what she knew without reservation.

What she said surprised everyone!

The princess actually breastfed herself!

His Highness Changsun only drank breast milk for half a year, and then switched to cow's milk!

His Highness Changsun actually started eating other things since he was half a year old!

"Complementary food is very important! You can start with rice cereal without adding anything. Then you can add various vegetable purees to the rice cereal. At seven months, you can basically eat stewed eggs. The key is to eat everything.

A little, nutrition can be more balanced! Just drinking breast milk is not enough!"

"But Princess, breast milk is the most nourishing!"

An older lady retorted.

Song Qingyue smiled and was too lazy to argue. She just said very politely: "Anyway, this is how our eldest grandson feeds us. I don't have any lies. As for how the madam wants to raise the child, I don't want to interfere."

Do you believe this method of raising children?

Although what Princess Jin said went against everyone's common sense, many ladies were convinced.
