In Love With My Fierce Farming Wife!

Chapter 1278: Chapter 1189 Baptism Ceremony

By what right!

By what right should the Empress give birth to a prince and receive praises from all the civil and military officials of the court? And yet, when my own sister also gives birth to a prince, not even a mention of it arises in the morning court session?

Comparing the two, the disparity is just too great!

The seed of hatred quickly took root and germinated in my heart, not knowing when it would grow larger over time.

In the Imperial Palace, they were going to hold a three-day banquet, inviting all the civil and military officials of the court. His Majesty even decreed that porridge stations be set up at the four gates, providing porridge continuously for three days to celebrate.

Everyone was celebrating the Empress giving birth to the eldest prince, but within Huayang Palace, Qin Yi had even organized a separate feast for the "Washing Three" ceremony for both children.

The Washing Three tradition is presided over by either the maternal grandmother or the midwife, and Qin Yi took this very seriously, going so far as to engage Mrs. Hwa, the wife of State Duke Hua, reputed as the "Perfect Elderly Lady," to oversee the Baptism Ceremony.

Su Pan’er had already issued a strict order that anyone in contact with the two children had to go through a thorough bath and change into special garments before touching the children. But when Mrs. Hwa faced Su Pan’er, she lost her usual composure, betraying a hint of awkwardness. Despite her best efforts to hide it, she couldn’t escape Su Pan’er’s Fiery Eyes and Golden Pupils.

Mrs. Hwa’s awkwardness was also related to the re-trial of Jun Ruochen’s case.

Jun Ruochen had left the secular world years ago, and Mrs. Hwa had spared no effort to push for a re-trial of his case, even using a jade token that could pardon a death sentence. Yet later, for the sake of Qin Feimo, she used the jade token again.

Jun Ruochen’s case was still retried as scheduled, but unexpectedly, Jun Ruochen visited the Ministry of Personnel for a brief visit, uttered some ambiguous words, and then turned and left.

It was said that he wandered the seas and vowed never to return to Shengjing.

His rejection of Mrs. Hwa and others’ kind intentions infuriated her so much that she was unable to get out of bed for several days.

Naturally, she felt embarrassed upon seeing Su Pan’er now.

While the Washing Three ceremony was in full swing on one side, Mrs. Su-Hua was constantly chattering in Su Pan’er’s ear on the other side.

"Pan’er, you don’t know, at that time, frankly speaking, I thought he was going to harm you. I scolded him mercilessly!"

Mrs. Su-Hua recounted the events of that day, appearing particularly awkward: "That day, his face looked particularly terrifying, full of murderous intent. So I thought, he would take your life with the knife in his hand. The old people in our place always say that many large households committed unscrupulous deeds for the sake of their grandsons. Especially during difficult childbirths, most chose to save the child over the mother. It is said, they directly cut open the mother’s belly to extract the infant. So..."

"Frankly speaking! What nonsense are you spouting?"

Su Pan’er was somewhat amused and could not help but laugh at Mrs. Su-Hua’s imagination: "Not to mention His Majesty would never do such a thing. Even if it really came to that, His Majesty would never personally do that, right? What are you thinking about?"

While she comforted Mrs. Su-Hua with these words, her heart was clear as a mirror.

If she had indeed passed away, Qin Yi would certainly have followed her last wishes to bring out the child!

If that had been the case, it would have indeed confirmed what Mrs. Su-Hua had just said.

Thinking of this, Su Pan’er could not help but laugh.

"And you laugh, do you know how scared frankly speaking was to death?"

Mrs. Su-Hua glared at Su Pan’er: "And those four fierce door gods at the entrance of the delivery room, they infuriated me that day. I wanted to come in, but they wouldn’t let us through no matter what. If it weren’t for your first cousin brother’s company, I probably would have gone mad with urgency right there!"

Mrs. Su-Hua was still shaken by the memory of the event.

"The first cousin brother? Right, I had forgotten about him. How is he now?"

Su Pan’er only now remembered that day when she was talking to her first cousin brother, right before a sudden pain erupted in her abdomen. After that, she hadn’t seen her cousin brother again.

"He? He is an outsider, not suitable to stay long in the palace. After you gave birth safely, he left the palace. He was very worried about you!"

Mrs. Su-Hua spared no effort in praising her great-nephew Qin Yi.

Then she remembered her own son, "It’s a pity Ke’er has returned to Luoshan Village. Otherwise, knowing that you have given birth to twins and safely delivered the eldest prince, he might be overjoyed!"

Having said that, she laughed herself, feeling as if her eyebrows had grown longer.

In the past, although Pan’er was esteemed as the Empress and favored in front of His Majesty, the delay in giving birth to a prince had made Mrs. Su-Hua feel a sense of guilt in front of His Majesty.

But now things were different!

Pan’er had given birth to a prince and she felt her spine straighten, her whole being Ventilated and Delighted, no longer living under anyone’s thumb.

Seeing Su Pan’er, who still laughed so kindly despite the long cut on her lower abdomen, Mrs. Su-Hua felt that her spirit was exceptionally good!

"Pan’er, wait for a moment. I will go to the kitchen to see why the nutritive soup has not been sent yet."

Mrs. Su-Hua said, rising to leave the room.

But she was called back by Su Pan’er!

"Mother, I’m not hungry yet. However, I haven’t seen Little Yanyan and Little Sugar Bean for a few days. Why don’t you go check on them for me? I’m worried!"

In Great Zhou, women in childbirth were not allowed to let children come in and out of the confinement room.

Naturally, Su Pan’er was anxious not seeing her children.

"They are currently playing around Qin Shuan’er. They clamor every day to see you, but I worry about the children clashing, so I’ve not let them in. They should be outside now; I’ll go take a look."

Mrs. Su-Hua left the room cheerfully.

Su Pan’er smiled openly, and turning back to look through the window sill, she could faintly hear the sounds of laughter and chatter coming from the Imperial Garden.

Peaceful days passed quickly.

In the adjoining patio, not far from Su Pan’er, two babies lay quietly in their cradle, sleeping especially sweetly.

Jiu Lan hurried in and reported to Su Pan’er, "Empress, there is a message from the gate of the palace; Imperial Concubine Feng’s brother is seeking an audience outside the palace."

Feng Jiu must be seeking an audience about the matter of Imperial Concubine Feng giving birth safely to a boy, coming to see her to inquire about the details.

Su Pan’er saw through it clearly.

She understood exactly what was going on with Feng Xiyue giving birth to this boy. However, why His Majesty kept Feng Xiyue in the Imperial Palace and didn’t take any further action, she was unclear. But now that Feng Xiyue had had a child, how to settle Feng Xiyue further weighed on her mind.

"Send my orders that I am slightly unwell at the moment and won’t meet him. Send someone to escort him directly to Imperial Concubine Feng."

Whether she saw him or not, the result would be the same, so why bother meeting him?

As for whether Feng Xiyue would say something to Feng Jiu, Su Pan’er worried not a bit about it.

No matter how eloquently Feng Jiu spoke, he couldn’t change the place of her son in His Majesty’s heart. Why should she worry?
