She had only dozed off briefly at the crack of dawn when General Xiao was about to get up for court. After being woken up, she inexplicably couldn't fall back asleep.

Now, watching the little one sleeping soundly, my eyelids slowly started to droop, and I couldn't stay awake any longer, so I fell asleep.

With the nanny, wet nurse, Qingyao, and Zhuque all there, this old mother had no worries and could sleep whenever she wanted, enjoying a very peaceful life.

The morning light lingers, filling the room with sunlight.

Seeing that their master and young master had fallen asleep, Qingyao and Zhuque exchanged a glance. One of them stayed behind to keep watch, while the other went out to tell the people outside to be quiet.

When Xiao Ji returned from court, the mother and son were still asleep. Without disturbing them, he changed out of his court robes and quietly went into the side hall, lay down next to Shang Changge, and closed his eyes to rest.

With his wife and children by his side, the smile lines between his brows were deep. His nose, which had been excessively high and straight, making him appear harsh and ruthless, now seemed inexplicably gentle.

Time flies, another half month has passed.

The Princess's residence was far more luxurious and refined than the General's residence in every aspect, especially in terms of the servants who attended to their daily needs.

Therefore, although Shang Changge gave birth in the General's Mansion, she stayed at the Princess's Mansion for postpartum care.

During this period, many people came to visit and see Xiao Li, bringing gifts. The most frequent visitors were Shang Changze and the Xiao family.

A full moon celebration is held, and the celebration is held at the General's Mansion.

Holding the ceremony at the General's Mansion was Shang Changge's decision, just like her decision to return there as her due date approached.

Xiao Ji spoiled her excessively, but she couldn't take advantage of that spoiling to completely disregard Xiao Ji's feelings and the Xiao family's reputation.

On the day of the full moon celebration.

Carriages arrived in an endless stream at the entrance of the General's Mansion; all those arriving were powerful and influential figures.

The entire general's mansion was bustling with activity like never before, as Xiao Ji was welcoming guests.

Also present was Xiao Zhen, who, upon hearing of his grandson's birth, rushed back to the capital.

"His Majesty has arrived!"

Upon the emperor's arrival, everyone ceased their polite greetings. After adjusting their attire and ensuring everything was in order, they all bowed to the emperor.

"Your Majesty, we, your humble servants, pay our respects!"

Shang Changze was dressed in casual clothes today, which made him look less imposing in court and more approachable: "My dear ministers, you may rise."

After everyone stood up, he said in a calm tone, "Today I am here to celebrate my nephew's one-month birthday, not to discuss state affairs. My dear ministers, please relax and don't be too reserved."

Led by Xiao Ji and Murong Yu, the ministers echoed their agreement. Soon, the atmosphere became lively again, filled with congratulations and laughter.

And today's protagonist, little Xiao Li, is lying on his parents' big bed.

My eyes followed the little toy in my mother's hand, and I waved my hands and moved my little feet.

"Eee-yah-yah~ Hum-yah~"

The little one, now a month old, has already mastered quite a few new skills, such as lying on his stomach, lifting his head, and imitating...

Similarly, she cried even louder.

This is a bit of a headache for Shang Changge and Xiao Ji, but there's nothing they can do but accept it, since he's their own son.

On the day of the full moon, the baby's hair is to be shaved. Shang Changge played with the little guy while imagining what the little guy would look like with his hair shaved.

Um……

Well, how should I put it? *chuckles*

"Woo~"

Little Xiao Li was just a month old human infant, completely unaware that his mother was laughing at him.

Seeing her mother laugh, she laughed along with her; the soft, cuddly little bundle was both cute and well-behaved.

The little girl's smiling face melted Shang Changge's heart. Judging that it was about time, she picked up Tuanzi and prepared to go outside.

"General." "General."

Just then, Xiao Ji returned. Hearing the servants bowing and greeting him outside the door, both mother and son looked in the direction of the sound at the same time, showing perfect tacit understanding.

Receiving the gazes of his wife and children, Xiao Ji smiled. He came over and took little Xiao Li into his arm, then leaned down...

He kissed Shang Changge's full lips, as delicate and luscious as peony petals, taking only a light kiss, and then brushed his nose against the tip of her nose.

"Everyone has arrived."

The implication is that the full moon celebration can begin.
