Chapter 541: Putting the Child into Space
As everyone gathered, the third-day bathing ceremony officially began.
Lord Wang nodded loudly, and the wet nurses came forward one by one, holding the three little princes.
The basin was already filled with warm water mixed with herbs and various auspicious objects. Lord Wang gently stirred the water with his hands while reciting auspicious words:
"The first wash brings intelligence, the second wash brings peace and health, the third wash brings wealth and good fortune..."
The guests around also echoed and sent their best wishes.
The scene was bustling with laughter and filled with a festive atmosphere.
After the third-day bathing ceremony, the emperor, empress and Baili Ye each held a child, while Qinghe, the prince, the princess and Baili Haoxuan stood in a row.
The emperor looked at the three young princes lovingly, his face full of satisfaction and relief. He cleared his throat, and his resonant voice echoed in the palace:
“Today, Prince Chen and Princess Chen held a baptism ceremony for the three young princes. This is a great joy for the Dasheng royal family and a blessing for the Dasheng nation!
These three children, born in a peaceful and prosperous era, are the continuation of my royal bloodline and the hope for the future of Dasheng.
In this baptism ceremony, they wash away all worldly desires and start a new chapter in their lives.
May they grow strong and healthy like seedlings breaking through the soil in the days ahead, without fear of wind and rain.
In terms of knowledge, he is diligent and hardworking, well-read, and has great talent;
In terms of moral character, he is kind, upright and honest, and upholds the interests of his family and country.
I hope they can become the pillars of the country and contribute to the prosperity of Dasheng in the future.
Whether it is civil governance or military achievements, we can make achievements to protect our great territory and bless our people.
I also hope that the brothers will work together to make the royal bloodline more prosperous and make our great country last forever!"
After the emperor finished his speech, the audience burst into applause and everyone shouted:
"Your Majesty is wise! I wish the young princes great blessings and a bright future!"
The Emperor raised his hand and said:
"Please stand up. Today is the third birthday banquet. Everyone, enjoy the food at the banquet. Let's toast."
Afterwards, the emperor arranged for a wet nurse to take the children away and place them there.
The wet nurses carried the children and went back to the bedroom with Baili Ye and Qinghe.
Baili Ye helped Qinghe lie down and said to Qinghe:
"Xiao He, today is a wedding banquet. I have to go out to entertain the guests. I will arrange for the butler to bring you food later. After you finish eating, you can rest with the children."
"Okay, go and do your work!"
Baili Ye looked at Qinghe reluctantly and went out to entertain the guests.
The banquet officially began and it was very lively. Baili Ye, the emperor, the prince and other guests were toasting and laughing outside.
On the other side, Qinghe and the wet nurse were watching the children in the bedroom. After the children had enough milk, they soon fell into a sweet dream.
Qing He looked at the children's cute sleeping faces, her heart filled with tenderness, and she whispered to the nurses:
"You have been tired for a long time, go and rest first, I will stay here with the children."
The wet nurses bowed and left, and the room gradually became quiet. Qinghe also lay down beside the bed, and soon fell asleep with the children.
After an unknown amount of time, a slight noise broke the silence in the room.
A group of men in black broke in silently, their faces covered, leaving only a pair of cold eyes exposed, and the sharp blades in their hands flashed coldly in the darkness.
The leading man in black waved his hand, signaling his men to disperse and surround the bed.
At this moment, Qing He suddenly woke up. She sat up abruptly, looked at the man in black in front of her vigilantly, and shouted in a low voice:
"Who are you? Why are you trespassing into the palace?"
The leading man in black sneered:
"Princess, we are here on orders to persuade you to hand over the formula for gunpowder and the method for making airplanes, otherwise your child will not survive today!"
Qing He sneered, his eyes full of disdain, and said:
"Humph, you think you can threaten me? Who are you? Who ordered you to do that?"
The leading man in black had a stern look in his eyes and spoke in a cold tone:
“Princess Chen, you have no right to know.
Stop talking nonsense and hand over the formula for gunpowder and the method for making airplanes. Otherwise, these young masters will be dead!"
After saying this, the sharp blade in his hand flashed a cold light in the darkness, and the threat was self-evident.
Qinghe showed no fear. At this critical moment, she thought about it and instantly put the three children into the space.
The movement was so fast that the man in black had no time to react.
"Where's the child?" The leading black-clad man noticed something was wrong, widened his eyes in shock, and shouted angrily, "Where did you hide the child?"
Qing He raised a mocking arc at the corner of his mouth:
"Didn't you say I have no right to know your identities? Then, similarly, you have no right to know where my children are."
The men in black were immediately angry and irritated by Qinghe's attitude.
"Come on, there's no child, and it's the same if you catch this woman."
At a command from the leading man in black, a group of men in black brandished sharp blades and pounced towards Qinghe viciously.
Qinghe was not in a hurry and quickly took out the silencer gun from the space.
Her eyes were determined and her fingers pulled the trigger skillfully. A faint light flashed at the muzzle of the gun and bullets rained down at the man in black.
"Bang, bang, bang!" After a few muffled sounds, several men in black who were rushing in the front fell to the ground instantly, groaning in pain.
Seeing this, the other men in black were so scared that they retreated one after another, with looks of horror on their faces.
They never imagined that the seemingly weak princess actually had such a powerful weapon.
