"What are you sisters talking about?"
As soon as Wang Qing'er arrived, she called Ji Ruoyu and Pan Mengqiu sisters.
Ji Ruoyu blinked and looked at Pan Mengqiu awkwardly.
Pan Mengqiu obviously didn't expect Wang Qing'er to be so familiar.
She also looked at Wang Yan'er for help.
"We are naturally chatting, what? Do you want to get involved again?"
Wang Yan'er said to Wang Qing'er unceremoniously. Her temperament was like Lin Cuiying. She couldn't stand Wang Qing'er's thick-skinned appearance, wanting to get involved in everything.
"Why do you say that, second sister? My younger sister and I just saw you come to talk to these two girls, and we were afraid that you, second sister, would offend someone and embarrass our Wang family, so we came here. What? Second sister and third sister came, so can't I and my younger sister come?"
Wang Yan'er was about to get angry, but was pulled by Wang Yuan'er. Wang Yuan'er shook her head at Wang Yan'er and signaled her to come by herself.
"Big sister, what you said is wrong. Second sister is just wondering why big sister and little sister always come to interfere with us and other sisters. Second sister is just asking a few more questions. Big sister doesn't need to be so sensitive, right?"
Wang Qing'er couldn't show it too much in front of everyone, so she had to take a deep breath and force herself to pull out an ugly smile.
"Third sister, you are too serious. As a sister, I will naturally not care about my sister."
Wang Ning'er saw Wang Qing'er being squeezed by Wang Yuan'er. Seeing that they were at a disadvantage in this situation, she hurried out to smooth things over.
"These two girls look familiar. I guess you must have seen them somewhere?"
Before Ji Ruoyu and Pan Mengqiu could speak, Wang Yan'er had already spoken in front of them.
"This is the second girl of the Taiwei Mansion, Ji Ruoyu, and the other is Pan Mengqiu from the Minister's Mansion. Even I haven't seen the two sisters much, how come you, the fourth sister, have seen them?"
The handkerchief in Wang Ning'er's hand was almost torn to pieces, but she just held back and didn't get angry.
"So it's Miss Ji and Miss Pan. I've heard a lot about the two girls outside. I guess that's why I feel so close to them when I see them."
Wang Yan'er rolled her eyes and muttered softly.
"Pretentious."
At this time, a female official dressed like she came from the palace said to the girls in the back garden.
"Hello, ladies. The emperor and the empress from the palace are about to arrive. You may as well come to the main hall to wait. The seats and tea and fruits are ready. Please move to the main hall."
After the female official finished speaking, she bowed and turned sideways to lead the way for those who were still in the back garden.
Led by the female official, the group quickly came to the main hall and sat down after finding their own seats.
After a while, Fu Lai's voice was heard.
"The emperor has arrived, the concubine has arrived, the empress Rou Zhaoyi and the empress Xian Zhaoyi have arrived."
As Fu Lai's voice fell, everyone present knelt down in unison.
"Long live His Majesty."
"Everyone get up."
As the voice full of imperial majesty fell, everyone stood up in a hurry. They didn't sit down until the emperor sat on the main seat.
"Today is the third-day celebration of the little princess. I specially held a banquet at Prince Ping's mansion. First, I hope that the third-day celebration of the little princess can be lively, and second, it shows my love for the little princess."
"Yes, the little princess is your majesty's first granddaughter, so she is naturally very noble."
The person who said this was Xian Zhaoyi. His Majesty's personal presence proved that his majesty still cared about Prince Ping in his heart, which meant that they still had a chance.
"It's good to understand, as long as you don't make any trouble."
Teng Chengping's words made Xian Zhaoyi's face hot. After all, everyone knew very well how much Xian Zhaoyi wanted to take a concubine for Prince Ping.
"Okay, let's eat."
The third-day bathing banquet for the little princess officially began only after everyone had finished eating.
As the emperor was the most respected, he first added a small spoonful of water to the basin, and then put a large gold ingot into the basin.
As the midwife said the blessing, one after another continued to add water and gold and silver dumplings.
After everyone had added, the midwife picked up the mallet and stirred the basin filled with water.
The little princess, who was only three days old, was bathed casually. As the little princess caught a cold and cried, the midwife muttered the blessing.
After the ceremony ended, everyone saw the little princess's face.
The little princess was still sleeping just now, so the nurse did not carry her out. After the third-day bathing, the little princess appeared in everyone's sight.
"The little princess pays respects to His Majesty."
The nurse carried the little princess to Teng Chengping. Teng Chengping took the little princess from the nurse's arms and looked at her face carefully.
He held the little princess to Chu Zijing and said.
"Zijing, look."
Although Chu Zijing didn't like Xian Zhaoyi or any of Teng Chengping's children, she really liked the children.
She took off her armor and touched the little princess's face carefully.
"Her face is as red as a red egg, so cute."
Liu Ying, who was watching from the side, followed Chu Zijing's actions, and her heart also lifted.
Although she didn't have any malicious speculation about others, she was really afraid that someone would harm her child after becoming a mother.
Fortunately, Chu Zijing didn't do anything else after she finished speaking.
Teng Chengping looked at the little princess and said.
"I see that the little princess has a rosy complexion and is a blessed person. I will give her the name Yiying and the title Pingxi."
"I, your son, thank you, father, for Yiying."
Teng Haomu and Liu Ying knelt down and said in unison.
