Chapter 152 Name
"Your Highness, the Fifth Prince is almost two years old. Aren't you anxious? When will His Majesty give our Fifth Prince a name?"
The palace maid Meihua teased the fifth prince with a rattle in one hand and a golden and red cloth tiger in the other.
Looking at the cute appearance of the fifth prince, she couldn't help but sigh and complain.
Her Royal Highness the eldest princess Qin Ronglu was given her name during the one-year-old birth ceremony. Her Royal Highness the eldest prince Qin Mingyu and Her Royal Highness the Crown Prince Qin Mingheng were given their names before their third birthdays. Her Royal Highness the third prince Qin Mingjin and Her Royal Highness the fourth prince Qin Mingyin were given their names together when they were one month old.
Her Royal Highness the Second Princess Qin Mingyue and His Royal Highness the Fifth Prince, born to the Queen, were born on the same day. One was given a name, titled Princess, and became famous throughout the world, while the other is almost two years old and still has no name of her own.
In contrast, the damage is so great.
She felt sorry for the Fifth Prince and Concubine Zhi.
The Fifth Prince's one-year-old birthday ceremony was held together with the Second Princess'. Your Majesty must have forgotten, right?
He forgot that he hadn't yet named the Fifth Prince.
Those high-ranking officials who were doing nothing but eating and drinking did not even notice His Majesty’s reminder, and the same goes for the Queen.
Hearing the complaints of the palace maid Meihua, Fu Mengli just stroked the zither and plucked the strings casually, making the seven-stringed zither make tinkling sounds.
Fu Mengli raised her clear eyes and looked at the Fifth Prince tenderly. She remembered what Qin Zhi had said to her one day after the Fifth Prince turned one year old, and a faint smile appeared on her lips.
"If Your Majesty remembers, why rush? If Your Majesty does not remember, what is the point of rushing?" Fu Mengli said slowly while plucking the strings of the zither.
"Miss!"
You should remind His Majesty. Your Majesty is busy with many things and there will always be times when he is negligent. If you don't mention it, I'm afraid some people will think that our Fifth Prince is not favored and our Yutang Palace is not valued by His Majesty.
Meihua paused shaking the rattle, stuffed the cloth tiger into the Fifth Prince's arms, and turned her head to let Fu Mengli look at her pouting mouth.
When Qingxue saw the Fifth Prince grab the cloth tiger and put it to his mouth, she hurriedly snatched it away, attracting the Fifth Prince's attention to her.
"Well, His Majesty has already told me that Xiaowu's name has already been chosen. On His Majesty's feast day, His Majesty will issue an edict to give Xiaowu a name to show his appreciation for Xiaowu.
Besides, whether or not he is given a name, and when he is given a name, Xiaowu is still the fifth prince of Dayong, your majesty’s biological son.”
Fu Mengli said with a faint smile.
“I just thought that the Fifth Prince has not been named yet, and is not as valued by His Majesty as the other princes. I am afraid that the Fifth Prince will be looked down upon by others.
If His Royal Highness the Fifth Prince is named on His Majesty's birthday, and all the ministers and concubines are informed of this, who would dare to look down on His Royal Highness the Fifth Prince!"
Meihua said with a hint of longing in her tone.
"Your Majesty has the Empress and the Fifth Prince in his heart."
The head palace maid Qingxue dangled a cloth tiger in front of the Fifth Prince and agreed with a gentle smile.
As soon as the second princess and the fifth prince were born, the court officials presented names for the little princess and prince for Qin Zhi to choose from.
Qin Zhi picked out Ming Yue from the possible names for the little prince and gave it to the little princess. He also studied the little princess's title in detail and bestowed it upon her on the day of her third birthday.
Qin Zhi originally planned to give a name to the fifth prince when he was one month old or one year old. But when the fifth prince's full month was approaching, other things happened and Qin Zhi planned to postpone it. When the fifth prince was one year old, it was the first day of the first lunar month, and Qin Zhi's time was filled with blessing, offering sacrifices to heaven, offering sacrifices to ancestors, and congratulating the emperor.
There are so many reasons, but the real reason is that we don’t pay enough attention to it.
Fu Mengli is stubborn and aloof, competing with herself.
She didn't want to let her reminders and nagging remind Qin Zhi that he had a son who hadn't been named yet. This would make her feel intuitively and cruelly that His Majesty didn't value her and the fifth prince, so she just kept it to herself and said nothing.
The reason why Zhang Deli didn't say anything was because he felt that His Majesty must have his reasons for doing so.
Since no one mentioned it to Qin Zhi again, Qin Zhi didn't think about it.
One day after the Second Princess and the Fifth Prince captured Zhou, he suddenly heard Fu Mengli calling the Fifth Prince "Xiaowu, Xiaowu". Then he remembered, oh no, he forgot to give this kid a name.
He immediately made up for it by saying that he would give the Fifth Prince a name on his birthday to show his favor to him. After returning to Zhaozheng Hall, he immediately drafted the imperial edict and ordered it to be issued on his birthday.
