Chapter 194: Surprise! Prince Yu has a child!

After the wedding, life returned to normal, but the joyous atmosphere in the Prince Yu's Mansion continued until Xiao Yue'er and Xiao Hao'er's first birthday party.

August 27th is Xiaoyueer and Xiaohaoer's birthday, and today is also the first time they are exposed in front of the public.

So it must be a big event, with all the necessary cards.

Murong Qingling personally organized the first birthday banquet. She did everything from the layout to the banquet. The two babies were the crown princes. No matter whether the Emperor of Yueqi Kingdom recognized them or not, they were all the crown princes of her Lanxi Kingdom. Therefore, everything was done according to the highest standards.

The invitation was written by Helian Chi himself, with the private seal of the King of Yu and the private seal of the Queen of Lanxi Kingdom.

It is conceivable how valuable this invitation alone is.

Murong Qingling dressed the two children in the clothes she had made for them before. The two chubby and cute little babies who were dressed up beautifully were so cute that they made everyone fall head over heels.

I couldn't help but sigh: "Time flies! My two little grandchildren were only a few months old when I first met them, and now they are both one year old!"

"Yes, the two little babies are growing up so fast! By the way, Mother, will you attend the banquet today?"

"I didn't go to the front of the stage at the previous wedding because of your brother. But today, for my two precious grandchildren and such an important occasion, of course I have to be there!

I've been in Yueqi Country for a few days now, it's time to show up! I want to support my two babies! "

Yun Li raised an eyebrow and said, "Oh, these two little darlings are still the most prestigious! They are more prestigious than my daughter!"

Murong Qingling glanced at her and said unhappily, "Humph, you're jealous of two little brats! Look at how much you've grown!"

At this time, little Yue'er on the bed shook her head and stretched out her hands, tugging at Yunli's clothes with her chubby little hands. She pouted and called out in a baby voice: "Mommy, give me a kiss and a hug..."

Hearing the sound of the baby humming, Murong Qingling and Yunli smiled at each other, and one of them picked up a baby from the bed.

Because she has not grown teeth yet, every time Xiao Yue'er laughs, her saliva flows down the corners of her mouth. She also likes to deliberately smear the saliva on her brother Xiao Hao'er's face. Xiao Hao'er always wipes it with his sleeve in disgust. This scene makes Yun Li laugh out loud.

The officials who received the invitation this time were no less shocked than last time.

The Minister of Revenue was holding the invitation at home, shocked and confused: "Didn't the Prince just have his wedding? How come his child is already a year old?"

Duke Zhenguo: "Oh my goodness, the wedding was only five days ago, and the kids are already a year old, and they're twins! I've already emptied my treasury this month just from giving away gifts!"

Turning around, he looked at the young master of the Duke's Mansion with a look of disgust on his face: "You should do me a favor. Look at Prince Yu! The marriage was completed in no time, and the child is already one year old. How quick is that!

Look at you, if you don't find a partner, you'll be a bachelor forever. At least let me accept the gifts I gave you... You useless thing!"

…

At the Prince Yu's Mansion, the two little guys had just finished their breakfast when officials arrived one after another.

The weather is getting colder now. We got up early today. Yunli put hats on the two children. Xiao Haoer wore a tiger-head hat, and Xiao Yueer wore a rabbit hat.

The two little treasures have similar facial features at first glance, but if you look closely, Xiao Haoer and Helian Chi are exactly the same, only the eyebrows and eyes are like Yunli, while Xiao Yueer's facial features are more like Yunli, but the face shape is like Helian Chi.

Holding the child, she walked towards the front hall and met Yu Wenting on the way. Xiao Yueer danced with joy when she saw Yu Wenting.

She cried in a baby voice: "Uncle...Uncle, hug me..."

"You heartless person! Your mother held you all the way, but now that you see your uncle, you don't want your mother anymore!"

Yuwen Ting walked towards them with a smile, and naturally took Xiao Yue'er from Yunli's arms.

Xiao Yueer got a hug from her uncle as she wished, and was very happy. She kissed Yu Wenting on the face, rubbed his face with her saliva, and then giggled and reached out to wipe his face.

Yun Li watched her daughter playing with her saliva, having a lot of fun, and she couldn't bear to watch her dirty look.

Yu Wenting looked very happy, not disliking Xiao Yue'er's saliva at all, and even deliberately tilted his face to let her saliva rub on his face.

The guests in the front hall have arrived one after another. Helian Chi was dealing with them alone in the front. Yun Li did not stay in the yard for long. He simply let Xiao Yueer hold her brother and ignored her. So he carried Xiao Haoer to the front.

At this time, in the palace, Helian Tian also knew that the Prince Yu's Mansion was holding a birthday party for his child.

"This fourth son is truly lawless! He held a wedding banquet without consulting the Ministry of Rites, and he didn't even inform me. Now, strangely enough, the child is already this grown up, and I don't even know anything! Does he even take me seriously?"

The eunuch beside him hurried forward to comfort him. He felt that the emperor was unable to come down from the stairs and felt that His Royal Highness the Prince had not given him face. He could not swallow this breath in his heart. In fact, he was afraid that he really wanted to go and see it. After all, he had heard that the Prince's Mansion was a pair of twins. No wonder His Royal Highness the Prince hid it so tightly.

"Your Majesty, please calm down. How about I accompany you to the Prince Yu's Palace to see what's going on with these two children who appeared out of nowhere?"

"I won't go! Humph! If he has the guts, he won't let the two children get the Helian family's royal jade butterfly!"

"Your Majesty, what if His Royal Highness Prince Yu has the two children with Jade Butterfly, the royal family of Lanxi Kingdom?"

The eunuch felt that he needed to remind the emperor. After all, His Royal Highness the Prince of Yu was definitely capable of doing this. After all, His Royal Highness the Prince of Yu had never seemed to be interested in the throne, so his attitude towards the emperor was so cold.

After hearing this, Helian Tian became restless and remained silent for a while. Then he said:

"Go to my private treasury and pick out two gifts! Go to Prince Yu's Palace!"

Upon hearing this, the eunuch's face lit up with joy, and he quickly replied, "Yes, Your Majesty! I'll go right away!"

Cining Palace

The Queen Mother looked at the invitation and fell into deep thought, muttering:

"Did I really do something wrong?"

The nanny beside her said: "Empress Dowager, in my opinion, you shouldn't have let the princess come to the capital. His Royal Highness the Prince is very decisive and did not even inform Your Majesty of the wedding. It is obvious that he really does not take the Emperor seriously!

But for such a big matter, His Royal Highness should have discussed it with the Queen Mother in advance, but His Royal Highness did not. So I think that if the Queen Mother gave the princess directly to His Royal Highness, it would anger the Prince! Queen Mother, think twice!

"Whatever, we already have a child! He doesn't take the emperor seriously, nor does he take me seriously. He never informs me of anything. I just have one more invitation than the emperor! He's no different from those civil and military officials!"

…

It seems that the Queen Mother is angry with His Royal Highness the Prince.

Hey, the relationship between the Queen Mother and His Royal Highness is very subtle. It has been like this for so many years. I can feel that His Royal Highness respects the Queen Mother, but it is just respect. She is just a servant, so it is not easy to say much.

The Queen Mother sat in silence for a long time, then said to Momo, "Go to my storehouse and bring the purple gold Ruyi necklace and the gold and jade longevity lock to Prince Yu's palace!"

The nanny asked in surprise, "Then your Majesty the Queen Mother, you are not going?"

The Queen Mother nodded: "Yes, just say that I am not feeling well!"

"Yes! I obey your command!"

…

"The Emperor has arrived!"

Following the eunuch's sharp cry, all the officials in the Prince's Palace knelt down and saluted.

"Your Highness, long live the Emperor!"

Helian Tian glanced at everyone and said calmly: "Stand up!"

At this time, Helian Chi and Yun Li also came out of the house after hearing the sound, bowed and saluted, saying: "Your sons pay their respects to the emperor!"

"Meet the Emperor"

Helian Tian raised his eyes and looked deeply at Helian Chi, and said: "Humph, do you still have me, your father, in your eyes?"

"Your Majesty, you are too kind!"

Helian Tianqi's face was gloomy. Just as he was about to scold Helian Chi, Murong Qingling came out of the house holding Xiao Yue'er and said leisurely:

"Who is it? You're talking so loudly that you scared our little Yue'er!"

The civil and military officials in the courtyard were so frightened that they dared not utter a word. They all looked up at the woman who was speaking, wondering who this woman was who dared to speak so condescendingly about the emperor.

Helian Tian also looked up at the woman who was speaking. He felt that the aura around this woman was no less than his. Her face was also well maintained. She looked somewhat similar to Yun Li. He immediately realized that this was the Queen of Lanxi Kingdom!

Yun Li looked at the stillness in the yard, all eyes fixed on her mother, and quickly said, "Mother, Yue'er is awake..."

Hearing Princess Yu calling her mother, the officials in the courtyard were shocked again, and their eyes once again looked at the beautiful woman holding the child!

So this is the legendary Queen of Lanxi Kingdom! Seeing is believing. The Queen never showed up when she came to their Yueqi Kingdom. The Emperor even went to pick her up that day, but he didn't expect her to be met with such a cold reception. She even continued to live in the Prince Yu's Palace. This made the Emperor very dissatisfied!

But the etiquette between the monarch and his subjects still had to be observed. After all, she was the queen, so the officials all bowed and saluted:

"Greetings to Her Majesty the Queen!"

Murong Qingling said calmly, "No need to be so polite, I'm a casual person. Everyone is here to celebrate the birthdays of my two little grandchildren. Everyone who comes is a guest, so don't be restrained!"

After the words fell, the officials breathed a sigh of relief. Everyone felt that the queen looked very approachable and did not put on airs.

Murong Qingling handed the child in her arms to Yuwen Ting, and then everyone dispersed and gathered around Yuwen Ting. Everyone wanted to see the two children up close.

Only Helian Tian, ​​Murong Qingling, Helian Chi and Yun Li were left in the yard.

Helian Tian and Murong Qingling stared at each other, neither of them willing to give in, and the atmosphere seemed to be on the verge of a showdown.

After a long while, Murong Qingling chuckled and said, "Emperor Yueqi, I have long admired you. Let's go inside and talk."

Helian Tian nodded silently

Helian Chi took the two of them to the study and signaled all the guards and maids to leave. Yun Li picked up the teapot and poured a cup of tea for each of them.

Murong Qingling looked at Yun Li and Helian Chi and said, "You two should get out too!"

Yun Li and Helian Chi looked at each other, then left the room and closed the door.

Outside the door, Yun Li turned around and asked, "What do you think the Queen Mother and your father will say in that room?"

Helian Chi thought about it, then shook his head: "I can't say for sure! Anyway, we'll know after they finish talking!"

Yun Li glanced at him, pouted and said, "It's like you didn't say anything..."

Then the two of them went to the front hall to entertain the guests

The banquet was scheduled for noon. The gate of the Prince's Palace was already full of carriages. At this time, all the officials, princes, generals and ministers had almost arrived with their families.

Moreover, many unmarried young ladies and young men from officials' families came, and they were dressed up beautifully. Naturally, no one would miss such an opportunity to make friends.

People were admiring flowers, drinking tea, chatting, and touring the garden. Except for the relatively quiet backyard of the Royal Palace, other places were full of people.

Before the banquet started, the two little babies' one-year-old celebration came! In the center of the main hall, there was a large round table covered with red silk.

There are many items for the one-year-old celebration, including brushes, abacus, inkstone, incense burner, silk flowers, jade ruyi, jade seal, gold and silver jewelry, books, sachets, flute, rouge, weights, knives, swords, martial arts secrets, Three Character Classic, rare herbs, etc.

Fill the entire round table with food!

Outside the main hall, everyone was waiting anxiously and expectantly for the two young protagonists to appear.

I don't know what Murong Qingling and Helian Tian talked about in the study room. They talked for a whole afternoon. When they came out again, the gloom on Helian Tian's face was gone, and he had a faint smile on his face.

The two of them each held a child in their arms and walked towards the main hall.

Following behind were Yunli, Helianchi and Yuwenting.

Everyone was about to kneel down and greet him, but Helian Tian stopped them by waving his hand:

"My dear ministers, please excuse me!"

"Thank you, Your Majesty!"

After saying that, he made a gesture of invitation towards Murong Qingling, signaling Murong Qingling to go inside first.

This scene surprised everyone present. Why was the emperor in such a good mood and so polite?

After entering the house, Yun Li saw the table full of things. She was speechless. She remembered that she had not prepared so many things. There were also many strange things that she did not recognize.

It must have been prepared by her mother and brother... I know they dote on Xiao Yue'er and Xiao Hao'er, but with so many things, it's dizzying, can they both see it all...

At this time, the palace's housekeeper came over and reminded: "Prince, Princess, the time is up!"

Yun Li nodded, took Xiao Yue'er from Murong Qingjing's arms and placed her in the middle of the round table. Helian Chi also took Xiao Hao'er from Helian Tian's arms and placed her on the round table.

Yun Li touched their little faces and said softly: "My dears, you can take anything on the table. Pick up whatever you like..."

The two little guys nodded hesitantly, looked around the room with their big round eyes, and then looked down at the things placed around them on the table.

Xiao Yueer smiled to everyone first, then she swept the things around her, picked up this and looked at that, and took some things that she disliked and threw them aside.
