Chapter 319 Full Moon

Under the warm yellow candlelight, Yu Zheng stared at Yu Ziyou who was nursing happily with a sullen face.

The little guy was totally unaware and was drinking happily and contentedly.

Yu Zheng closed his eyes and tried his best to suppress the turmoil in his heart.

After one side finished drinking, Yu Ziyou seemed not to have drunk enough, so Jiang Shu switched to the other side to continue feeding.

Yu Zheng looked at him with a depressed look in his heart.

Before I had no children, I always wanted to have a child with Jiang Shu. When the baby was in my belly, I also looked forward to the birth of the child every day. But when the child was really born, I felt a little annoying.

It was like a hawthorn coated with sugar, which was very sweet at first, but sour inside, which made people frown, making people love and hate him, and unable to stop.

Yu Zheng rubbed his brows, and as soon as Yu Ziyou finished drinking milk, he immediately asked Chu Yu to take him away.

The door was closed, and they were finally the only two people left in the room.

Yu Zheng let out a long breath and walked towards the bed.

Jiang Shu sat on the bed and looked up at him, swallowing her saliva and called out, "Husband."

Yu Zheng didn't say anything, but took off his shoes and got on the bed silently.

Seeing this, Jiang Shu quickly kicked off her shoes and lay down inside.

Yu Zheng extinguished the candles on the bedside, lay down beside her, and pulled the quilt over to cover her.

Jiang Shu moved closer unconsciously, and her soft hands gently stroked Yu Zheng's chest, and then moved down along his well-proportioned abdominal muscles.

Suddenly, Yu Zheng grabbed her hand, held it in his palm and placed it against his chest, whispering, "Go to sleep."

Jiang Shu was startled, and moved her lips as if to say something, but in the end, she said nothing.

The autumn night was slightly cool, and Yu Zheng's embrace was warm and hot. Jiang Shu leaned against him and fell asleep soon.

Yu Zheng listened to her steady and shallow breathing and let out an almost inaudible sigh.

It was really tiring to hold such a warm and soft jade in his arms but not be able to eat it.

He had to think of a way.

On August 27, Yu Ziyu was one month old, and the palace held a banquet with many guests.

Yu Lan, Zhou Boxu, Sun Yijun and Yu Yuan arrived at the palace early to help entertain the guests.

The Emperor and Consort Yu were present. It was the first time that Jiang's father and mother met their in-laws. They were so nervous that their backs were sweating.

"Sit down. We are a family and there is no need to be so formal." Consort Yu smiled warmly and was very easy-going.

"Yes." Jiang's father and mother sat down as they were told, with their backs straight and their bodies and minds tense. They were afraid of saying something wrong, so they simply didn't ask or speak.

Although the Jiang family was also a wealthy family and had seen a lot of the world and nobles, it was not like today.

After all, the two people sitting on the throne were the most noble people in the world, and no one could match them.

If it weren't for the fate of Jiang Shu marrying Yu Zheng, they would never see them in their lifetime.

The Emperor and Consort Yu saw that Jiang's father and mother were nervous, and took the initiative to speak to try to ease the tension, but they found that the more they talked, the more restrained and uneasy they became, so they had no choice but to give up.

"Father, Mother." Jiang Shu carried Yu Ziyou into the house, and the four of them breathed a sigh of relief.

Concubine Yu Gui stared at Yu Ziyou with her beautiful eyes and said lovingly, "Ziyou is here, come and let the Empress hold you."

Jiang Shu sent Yu Ziyou to Concubine Yu Gui's arms and sat down at the bottom.

Yu Ziyou had just finished drinking milk and was quiet and well-behaved.

Concubine Yu Gui teased and said with a smile: "Our Ziyou is really sensible, he never cries or makes a fuss, and he has been a steady man since he was a child."

Jiang's mother followed the topic and said: "Yes, Ziyou's eyebrows and nose are very much like the prince, and he will grow up to be like his father, standing tall and upright."

Concubine Yu Gui looked carefully and said: "His eyebrows and nose are like his father, and his eyes and lips are like his mother. Our Ziyou can follow his good points as much as possible."

Several people surrounded Yu Ziyou and laughed and talked, and the atmosphere finally became harmonious and relaxed.

Jiang Shu sat for a while, and when he found that he had nothing to say, he got up and went out to entertain the guests.

It was rare for the emperor to see his grandson, and he would glance at him from time to time. Concubine Yu Gui understood and handed Yu Ziyou to his arms.

Seeing that the emperor and Concubine Yu Gui both loved Yu Ziyou so much and were very kind to Jiang Shu, Jiang's father and mother were completely relieved.

In front of Jiang's father and mother, the emperor couldn't put down his status to tease Yu Ziyou, so he could only hold him and watch, feeling a little depressed.

There was a lot of noise outside, and Yu Ziyou stared at the emperor for a long time, and suddenly frowned and blushed, and hummed a few times.

Then, Concubine Yu Gui smelled a hint of stench and said with a smile: "Oh, Ziyou did something bad, take him down and clean him up."

Nanny Gui hurriedly took Yu Ziyou away.

The emperor pursed his lips and frowned, which frightened Jiang's father and mother so much that they dared not say

a word. At the lunch, the emperor and Concubine Yu Gui had special status, so they did not sit with other guests. Instead, they set up a table alone in the back hall and let Jiang's father and mother sit with them.

This was a great honor, but it was the most tasteless meal that Jiang's father and mother had ever eaten. Because of their tense mood, they could not taste the cooking skills of the palace chef.

Jiang's father and mother thought about it later and felt a little regretful.

Fortunately, Jiang Ning did not join them and had a very comfortable meal.

Due to the prohibition of alcohol, there was no alcohol at the banquet, only tea.

But this still could not stop the enthusiasm of the people. They rushed to raise their glasses to congratulate and drink, and they drank the tea with the effect of alcohol.

Therefore, the busiest people in the palace that day were the servants in charge of boiling water and brewing tea, who almost never stopped.

In addition, there were the servants in charge of boiling and dyeing eggs.

According to the rules, red eggs would be distributed to passers-by in front of the gate of the palace at the full-month banquet for children in the noble mansion.

Zhuo Teng guessed that many people would come to the palace to join in the fun and share the joy, so he ordered the kitchen to prepare several baskets of red eggs, but they were all distributed in less than an hour, so they had to cook and dye them again.

This full-month banquet, whether inside or outside the palace, was packed with guests and unprecedentedly lively.

Although the emperor and Concubine Yu Gui returned to the palace after lunch, the importance they attached to Yu Zheng and Yu Ziyou was fully reflected.

The ladies and concubines who used to sneer at Jiang Shu and look down on her from the bottom of their hearts have changed their faces today and are extremely flattering and affectionate.

Who made her so noble because of her son?

Jiang Shu was as usual, neither humble nor overbearing, neither arrogant nor impatient. In addition, since she was the master, her attitude was very tolerant.

In the eyes of the ladies, she was easy to talk to, approachable, and easy to get along with.

So at the tea party after the banquet, some people who couldn't hold back and couldn't wait pulled their own daughters and hinted tactfully: "If the princess feels that my daughter has a good relationship with you, let her come to serve you and chat with you to relieve your boredom."

What can a third-rank Hanlin Xue Tujia legitimate daughter do? The meaning is self-evident.

Everyone looked at Jiang Shu tacitly, waiting to see her reaction.

If Jiang Shu didn't refuse, then they would also go out.

Although it was a bit aggrieved and humiliating for the legitimate daughter of the official family to respect a daughter of a merchant as the mistress, they were willing to do so even if Yu Zheng was so noble and outstanding.

Especially with Yu Zheng's current status, his future nobility might not be limited to this.

Thinking of this, the outstanding ladies from various families were all excited and full of expectations.

Jiang Shu took a sip of tea, raised his eyes and said calmly: "I have enough maids around me, no need to add anyone to serve me. I have many things to do on weekdays, and I have no time to chat with others. I appreciate your kindness."

After these words, everyone's faces froze. The scholar and the young lady who made the remarks were even more embarrassed.

But after the humiliation, they felt that Jiang Shu was too arrogant and jealous.
