Since Tinger had already promised Xiao Sheng, she could not do anything to break the contract. She thought about it and decided to try her luck at the Zhongfu. If she could get someone from the Zhongfu to help her deliver the letter, it would be a good idea.

She waited for several days at the door of the Zhong Mansion, and finally met Mrs. Fang. She took out a piece of silver and planned to use the piece of silver as a reward to ask Mrs. Fang to help deliver the letter to the Empress.

Of course, Mrs. Fang couldn't help with everything, and the nobles asked her to ask the Empress for help. They offered one thousand taels of silver. Naturally, she didn't look down on the silver, so she had Ting'er be driven away.

Tinger clutched the letter and went back to her residence in despair.

The reason why she was interested in this matter was not only because Xiao Sheng saved her, but also because she had feelings for Xiao Sheng. After all, the two had a skin-to-skin relationship. That night, he hugged her and kissed her for a long time. , so gentle.

He was born rich and handsome, like a bright moon on the horizon, out of reach, who would have expected that on such a night, he would dote on her in every possible way, even if it was clear that he just regarded her as another person, Tinger couldn't help but do it for him Touched by his deep affection, even if he handed it over to the eldest prince, Ting'er still thought of him.

She stared at the letter for a long time and wanted to open it several times, but when she came to her, she withdrew her hand.

Tinger knew that he was dead. He had such a last wish before he died. She had to help him deliver the letter to the Empress. It was her fault for not being able to deliver it before she gave birth. Tinger didn't want to. Totally distrustful.

But she can't enter the palace, and no one is willing to help her, how can she meet the empress?

Seeing her staring at Xin again in a trance, Yingying only felt that she was stunned, and she didn't bother to persuade her any more, so she took the quilt to the courtyard to bask in the sun.

It finally cleared up today, and the snow on the eaves gradually melted. Yingying felt that the quilt was a little damp, so she put it on the rope to dry.

The yard they rented was small, and the interior was a bit damp. The quilts needed to be dried from time to time. Thinking of the days when she was in the First Prince's Mansion, when she was in brocade clothes and jade food, and comparing her sadness today, Yingying couldn't help but sigh.

The next day, it was still a sunny day. This day was the baby's three rituals. The three rituals were actually gathering relatives and friends and holding a bathing ceremony for the little guy, which could dispel disasters and wash away filth.

The little guy didn't invite too many people for his baptism. Except for the royal family, there were only Zhong Li's relatives and friends. Naturally, all the invited people arrived, including Zhong Li's uncle, Fang Shi, Zhou Shi, Li Mingqian and others.

The male guest, Pei Xing, was entertained by Eunuch Huang himself, while the female guest was hosted by An Lian. Li Mingqian and Zheng Feiling were the first to arrive. When the two came, Zhong Li had just put on a brand new robe for the little guy.

The two greeted Zhong Li, and then asked the maid to present the congratulations to the little palace maid. All they gave to the little guy were longevity locks. The longevity locks made of red gold looked very delicate and had a very good meaning. , which means to bless the child's safety, joy, and healthy growth.

Zhong Li thanked the little guy.

Zheng Feiling smiled and picked up the little guy and teased him. He happened to be awake, his eyes were black, as if he could see everyone, and his eyes moved. Li Mingqian was extremely rare, and shook the little guy's hand.

Zheng Feiling said with a smile: "I heard that the emperor named him Hongrui, did you have a nickname?"

Zhong Li replied: "I didn't get up, I called him Ruier."

Li Mingqian smiled and said, "Xiao Rui'er sounds very nice."

During the chat, many people came one after another. Because there were many royal relatives and relatives, Zhong Li deliberately changed into decent clothes. When the guests came, she did not get out of bed, but leaned on the bed and chatted with the female relatives. .

When the guests dispersed, Zhong Li saw her uncle. Foreign men could not enter the harem casually, because Zhong Yin was Zhong Li's only uncle, so Pei Xing let him come in and take a look at her.

Zhong Li hadn't seen him for a long time, and when she saw him, she only felt that her uncle was a little bit older, Zhong Yin was only in her forties, and she had gray hair on her temples.

Zhong Li felt a little distressed, and couldn't help but cared a few words about his body. In fact, Zhong Yin was all right. The reason why he had gray hair was purely sad. He was not good at communication. In front of the door, the door has changed from the past, and there are always large and small officials coming to the door to ask for an interview.

Afraid that these officials are asking for something, Zhong Yin never sees them. Over time, these people have learned to be good, and no longer come to the door by themselves, but a different method, either let their wives come to the door, or let them give them to Fang. Hand over an invitation letter and invite her to enjoy flowers or something.

It was impossible for Zhong Yin to keep Mr. Fang locked up. He was also afraid that something would happen to Mrs. Fang after leaving the house. Every time Mrs. Fang left the house, he was a little exhausted. Fortunately, Mrs. Fang has learned to be smart now. What to mess with.

In addition to the longevity lock, the gift he gave to Rui Er was a small cradle. The cradle was made by himself. The cradle was made of the finest golden silk nanmu, and it was also engraved with auspicious patterns. The child could be put in it. Shake gently to coax the child.

Zhong Li took Rui Er's hand and shook it, asking him to thank his uncle and grandpa. The little guy just woke up at this time, a smile appeared on Zhong Yin's face, and he awkwardly touched the little guy's little hand.

Zhong Li smiled and said, "Uncle can hug him."

Zhong Yin was a little nervous, "I don't want to hold it anymore, the little prince is too young, I am afraid that if it is uncomfortable to hold, it will make Ruier uncomfortable."

He always felt that the emperor's eyes would fall on him from time to time, as if he despised him for staying too long, and Zhong Yin didn't dare to stay long.

Zhong Li asked Qiuyue to give him a ride in person. After her uncle disappeared, she glared at Pei Xing, and she naturally saw her uncle's nervousness.

Pei Xing scratched the tip of her nose, and there was a smile on her lips. Today is Rui Er's third ceremony, and he doesn't need to deal with official business anymore. After everyone dispersed, he took off his shoes and sat on the couch.Let Qiuyue give him a basin of foot water.

After washing his feet, he sat cross-legged on the couch. He also looked at the child. The little guy was still awake, and his eyes were staring blankly.

Pei Xing stretched out his hand and shook it in front of him, the little guy's black and white eyes moved slowly with his movements.
