On the second day, Zhou Ying just sighed when she knew the Seventh Prince had brought troops to the southwest.


She didn’t know how the following days would go.


It was the First Prince’s first birthday in the blink of an eye. Zhou Ying brought Mrs. Lin, Qiuxiang, and Guoguo into the palace early in the morning.


Before entering the Pheonix Palace, Guoguo saw the First Prince learning to walk with a nanny’s guidance. She immediately ran over and shouted, “Brother, Guoguo is here!”


Guoguo then quickly pulled the First Prince into the palace.


The nanny was stumped and quickly supported the First Prince by lifting his other hand. She looked at Zhou Ying and greeted her, “Greeting, Mrs. Gu.”


Zhou Ying nodded and asked, “Where’s the Empress?”


“She’s inside, preparing the First Birthday ceremony.”


“I see, thanks.” Zhou Ying instructed Mrs. Lin to stay behind and look after Gupguo while she and Qiuxiaing went in with the grapes.


After greeting Gu Wanning, she looked at the table full of things and asked, “Wow, you prepared so much for his First Birthday Ceremony. Aren’t you afraid that he doesn’t know what to choose?”


As she said that, she put a goose egg-sized pearl on the table.


“It’s just for fun. There’s no need to be so serious about it.” Gu Wanning smiled and replied.


She then started chatting happily with Zhou Ying while Guoguo carefully guided the First Price into the palace.


Gu Wanning’s face beamed as she looked at them. “Guoguo is such a dependable sister; she’s already teaching her younger brother how to walk.”


“Younger brother, walk; no steady.” Guoguo raised her head and scrunched her brows.


“He’s still young. He’ll be able to walk steadily after half a year.” Zhou Ying replied.


Guoguo heard that and gave the First Prince the side eye. She didn’t want to play him anymore.


The First Prince wasn’t willing to let her go and just hugged her.


Gu Wanning saw this and pointed toward a corner. “Guoguo, there’s a wooden pony there. You can bring your younger brother there and play.”


Guoguo followed where Gu Wanning pointed and saw a red rocking wooden pony. Her eyes lit up and she ran over while the Fist Prince had to catch up with the help of his nanny.


Zhou Ying then looked at Gu Wanning and asked, “How’s it been? Is your pregnancy steady?”


“Yup, all thanks to you.”


“No worries, it’s what I should do.”


Soon, Mingyu brought Zhuangzhuang along, with the Grand Empress Dowager and the Eldest Princess behind them.


The children played together lively.


Moments later, Consort An and Consort Xian also arrived.


Everyone who came to the party added something to the table for the First Prince to choose during his ceremony.


Very quickly, the choosing ceremony started. The First Prince sat on the table, looking at the things and the surrounding people, and clapped happily.


Gu Wanning had to point to the table and guide him. “Yangyang, look at the things here. Why don’t you choose one that you like?”


The First Prince only started carefully looking at the stuff and took a red ruby. However, he didn’t keep it and pa.s.sed it to the Eldest Princess.


The Grand Empress Dowager smiled at that. “Good boy, it looks like your big sister didn’t love you for nothing. I want one too, can I?”


Yangyang paused and took a calligraphy brush before pa.s.sing it to the Grand Empress Dowager.


He then grabbed a jade amulet and pa.s.sed it to Guoguo, whom Zhou Ying was hugging.


He also grabbed onto an inkstone and pa.s.sed it to Mingyu.


Mingyu smiled and said, “Yangyang is such a good boy, not leaving even a single friend unattended.”


“Yeah, it’s rare for a kid to be this generous.”


“My dumb kid is the exact opposite. He wouldn’t let anything that he grabbed onto go.”


Just as everyone wanted to continue praising the First Prince, someone suddenly pulled the tablecloth and flung it away together with the First Prince..
