In the center of the grand hall, a large carpet was laid out, adorned with all sorts of dazzling objects, waiting for the Princess to perform the grabbing ritual for her first birthday.
The Empress had invited many, including the Empress Dowager, members of the Royal Clan, and so on; all were invited.
Whether it was the scale of the event or the items prepared, everything was much more extravagant and luxurious than what had been arranged for the Crown Prince.
Xia Ruqing silently lamented in her heart.
The Empress never forgets to assert her presence, never forgets to remind everyone that she is the legitimate wife!
...
The first half-year of the Third Princess's life was spent in sickness and frailty.
Later, after being brought to Jiaofang Hall and carefully nurtured, she gradually improved.
The Empress was cautious in her care.
She never dared to carry the Princess out to meet people, firstly for fear she would catch a draft and fall ill again.
