Yun Duoduo was a little stunned and didn't react. She was very excited.

【Very good! 】

She paced back and forth, excited to be able to touch another little baby.

"Princess, please get in the sedan chair. Don't be late."

Ah Xiang picked up Yun Duoduo and placed her on the sedan chair.

"Alright, let's go to the Imperial Garden to see my brother and sister-in-law!"

【Hey, where are those two little eunuchs?】

Looking at the empty palace corridor before her, Yun Duoduo suddenly felt as if something was missing.

"Where did those two sneaky eunuchs go?"

Ah Xiang frowned slightly and looked around: "They run pretty fast."

The arrival of Consort Chen disrupted Yun Duoduo and A Xiang's interrogation of the two eunuchs. By the time they came to their senses, the two eunuchs had already disappeared.

Could it be that those two eunuchs were connected to Consort Chen, and were instigated by her?

[Was it possible that Consort Chen deliberately came over to change the subject and attract her attention, thus giving those two eunuchs the opportunity to escape?]

"Princess, we must be careful at tonight's banquet."

Ah Xiang said solemnly, looking at the endless palace road, and sighed.

The young eunuch we encountered had a rather unusual demeanor and behavior; we must be careful during the banquet.

"yes……"

Yun Duoduo patted A Xiang's hand, signaling her not to worry.

She really liked how Ah Xiang interacted with her. Ah Xiang never thought she was ignorant because of her age. On the contrary, Ah Xiang would analyze the situation in the palace and tell Yun Duoduo about everything.

Yun Duoduo would also share her analysis with A Xiang, and the two of them would work together to devise countermeasures.

"Let's go."

"Lift the sedan chair!"

The cloud-like sedan chair was lifted up, and the group slowly walked towards the Imperial Garden.

Yun Duoduo pondered that if someone wanted to harm someone at the banquet, it would only be by poisoning the food. It seemed that she needed to be extra careful about what she ate tonight.

...

In the Imperial Garden, some ministers and their families had already arrived, raising their wine cups and chatting with each other.

In the open space of the Imperial Garden, there were two rows of tables and chairs. One row of tables had fruit drinks for the women, while the other row had wine for the men.

A circular open space in the middle was decorated as a dance floor, where dancers performed and musicians played music.

Inside the Imperial Garden, there is a stream with various dishes displayed on it. The dishes are moved to different places by the flow of the stream for the guests to enjoy.

General Zhou Yixuan, with his wife and children, took his seat and looked at the young ladies of the officials who had come to visit with a sly and furtive gaze.

Zhou Yixuan was a henchman of Tan Biao. Since Tan Biao was executed, Zhou Yixuan's status has plummeted. People who used to come to his house to propose marriage now avoid him like the plague.

Seeing that her daughter was about to pass the appropriate age for marriage, and that there was no one to propose marriage, and even matchmakers were unwilling to come to the Zhou residence, Madam Zhou was extremely anxious.

"Master, you should go and ask him. Has Prime Minister Xue's grandson reached the appropriate age yet?"

Madam Zhou tugged at Zhou Yixuan's sleeve as she looked around at the people, trying to see which young master was a good match for her daughter.

Zhou Yixuan stroked his chin, gritted his teeth, and walked shamelessly to the side of Left Chancellor Xue Guangjin.

"Your Excellency, the Left Prime Minister..." Zhou Yixuan licked his lips, unsure of what to say in greeting.

Xue Guangjin was drinking when he heard the sound behind him and turned around to look.

So it was this wicked beast...

"Your Excellency, my beloved is now of marriageable age..."

Zhou Yixuan got straight to the point.

"Deyi already has someone she likes."

Before Zhou Yixuan could finish speaking, Xue Guangjin waved his hand, directly refusing and ignoring him.

[That bastard Tan Biao and his gang! Tan Biao insulted my granddaughter, and now this wretched creature wants to marry her off to my family, making her my in-law?]

[What a pipe dream! It's best if these two companies don't interfere with each other!]

Hearing the voices, Xue Deyi looked at his grandfather in surprise. "When did I get a crush?"

"proud!"

Xue Deyi looked at the person calling him from afar.

"Jinyu!" Xue Deyi waved to Xiao Jinyu.

Zhou Yixuan looked at Xue Deyi and Xiao Jinyu, who were greeting him enthusiastically, and wondered, "When did these two become so close?"

If Xue Deyi already has someone he likes, then a marriage alliance with the Xiao family would be quite good.

...

In the Imperial Garden, Consort Chen was the first concubine to arrive. She didn't care about royal etiquette or the hierarchy; she just wanted to be the first to arrive so that everyone could see her beauty.

She was dressed in a bright pink crocheted dress, her hair adorned with pearls and jewels, and sporting the most fashionable peach blossom makeup, with a peach blossom decoration on her forehead.

As she walked, the gold and jade pendants on her body jingled, attracting everyone's attention.

Consort Chen was very satisfied with this reaction.

More and more people arrived one after another, and all the seats in the Imperial Garden were filled.

Yun Duoduo took small steps and shuffled her little bottom to sit in the seat reserved for the princes and princesses.

She saw the eldest prince, Yun Yibo, helping Shangguan Qin'er walk over, so she smiled and waved, "Eldest brother, eldest sister-in-law!"

"Royal sister!"

"Congratulations, Eldest Brother! Congratulations, Eldest Sister-in-law!" Yun Duoduo offered her sweet congratulations.

"Elder brother, why didn't you tell your younger sister about such a good thing sooner?"

"Are you afraid I'll corrupt your nephew and niece?" Yun Duoduo raised an eyebrow at the two of them, looking annoyed.

“Your Highness, what are you saying? Ever since I learned that your sister-in-law was pregnant, I haven’t even left the Prince Rui’s residence.”

“I’ve been taking care of your sister-in-law at home every day. The first month of pregnancy is the most difficult to stabilize, so we have to be careful in everything we do.”

"Elder brother, you could at least send a message so we can prepare clothes and supplies for our nephew and niece!"

A steady, deep male voice came from behind me.

The group turned their heads and saw that it was the Second Prince, Yun Yizhong.

"Second brother, you've arrived." Yun Yibo nodded to him.

Yun Yizhong cupped his hands and bowed slightly in greeting.

“Between brothers like us, there’s no need for such formalities,” Yun Yibo said, helping him up.

“Hey, eldest brother, etiquette cannot be disregarded.”

"Go quickly and bring a few more cushions. Your sister-in-law is pregnant, so you must take good care of her."

Yun Yizhong looked at the eunuchs and palace maids standing on both sides and instructed them to prepare things.

"Hey, you guys are all here!"

"Third Imperial Brother!"

"Third brother."

"Big brother, you're quite capable. You've only been married a short time and you already have a child?" Yun Yishu teased.

Shangguan Qin'er blushed slightly and covered her mouth with a handkerchief, coughing softly.

"You talk too much. Sit down, Father and Grandmother are coming!"

Yun Yibo nudged Yun Yishu's shoulder, gesturing for him to sit down in his seat.

Empress Zhaoyuan, Consort De, and others arrived one after another.

"The Empress Dowager has arrived!"
