After the coronation ceremony, there was a full-month banquet for the two children.
The full moon banquet was held in the Qingshi Alley, and the buffet filled the entire alley.
In fact, the imperial palace had been built long ago. As early as when Gu Wei was in a coma, Shi Yue, under the planning of Xu Xingzhi, designed a very elegant and luxurious palace in the best location in the city center of Sinan.
Glazed tiles, white jade pillars, it is more luxurious than all the palaces of the seven kingdoms combined.
But Gu Wei and Xie Ling still prefer Qingshi Lane, where their relatives and friends are all there and they are used to living there and there is smoke and smell.
Gu Wei would only return to the palace when the ministers were discussing matters.
Today is a clear and bright autumn day. The table is filled with friends and relatives, and there is laughter everywhere.
Gu Wei and Xie Ling changed out of their elaborate ceremonial robes and put on casual clothes, each holding a child.
The two babies are even more adorable now, with big eyes like black grapes, upturned noses, pink mouths, fair and smooth skin, and wearing red cotton-padded jackets. They look so delicate and charming that your heart will melt.
Gu Wei held her carefully, with the smile on his face all the time.
Whenever he thought that these two children were born to him by Xie Ling, that they were the fruit of their love, and that they had his and Xie Ling's blood flowing in their veins, his mind would be filled with a dizzying excitement, and his heart would be filled as if he could walk on the clouds.
It is such a blessing to have a child born to you by the woman you love most.
Wei Xiuchu was eager to try, "Son-in-law, you are tired of holding her, come here, let your father-in-law give you a hand."
Gu Wei chuckled helplessly. He wasn't tired. His baby was so small, how could he be tired? He could hold him for the rest of his life.
But he still gently handed the child over.
Wei Xiuchu held the baby carefully. Looking at the soft thing in his arms, his heart almost melted. He kept teasing the baby. Seeing the baby grinning, he was even more excited than the baby and shouted, "Oh! Yunyun is smiling! She probably likes me as her grandfather the most!"
Gu Wei stood aside in a casual manner, with his thin lips raised slightly and his eyebrows and eyes smiling. From time to time, he would come over to tease him and snap his fingers, "Yunyun, be good, look at daddy?"
Little Yunyun loves to laugh and will not stop laughing when others tease him.
Zhaoming, who was held in Xie Ling's arms, also loved to laugh and was very cute.
At this moment, being held in Wei Linglong's arms, Wei Linglong was very cautious, blinking her almond eyes, and speaking softly, "Xiao Zhaoming, I am your aunt~"
Wei Wuji was looking forward to it. The usually elegant man was now scratching his head anxiously, "Linglong, you have been holding me for so long, it's my turn now."
Wei Linglong turned her head to the other side, "I just got him, go find the uncle and get Zhao Yun."
Wei Wuji was helpless, "Do you think the emperor's uncle will give it to me?"
He begged, "Oh, Linglong, please, let me hold you for a while."
Wei Linglong reluctantly gave up, "Be careful, remember to hold your head and butt."
Wei Wuji nodded vigorously, and after taking the baby, he narrowed his eyes and let out a satisfied "tsk".
"As expected of my nephew, he looks like me."
Wei Linglong rolled her eyes and said, "Don't flatter me. I think she looks more like me. Her round eyes are exactly the same as mine."
Wei Wuji could no longer listen to anything else. He stared at the baby in his arms with a smile on his face.
Wei Wuji and Wei Linglong don’t have any children yet, so Xie Ling’s baby is the freshest bloodline of the Wei family.
The two of them loved it so much that they wanted to hold it in their hands and in their mouths.
Wei Linglong sat down under a tree nearby, propped up her chin, and looked at her little nephew from a distance.
Suddenly, she was patted on the back.
Wei Linglong turned her head to look.
Nangong Yu came behind her without her knowing.
The man was wearing a moon-white long gown that trailed on the ground, with a jade satin waistband. He was leaning against the sycamore tree behind him, lazily playing with a wine glass in his hand.
The sunlight filtered through the dense branches, casting a faint halo around him, as if he were a banished immortal.
He smiled slightly, "Linglong, do you like children very much?"
As he spoke, Nangong Yu bent down, his warm breath sprayed on Wei Linglong's face, his words were ambiguous and suave, "How about we have a baby?"
Wei Linglong blushed and stepped back, "Who wants to have a baby with you?"
Nangong Yu said casually, "Who agreed to marry me on the day when Zhou Wei's army surrounded us?"
Wei Linglong put her hands in front of her and crossed them out, "You remembered it wrong!"
After saying that, Wei Linglong picked up her skirt and ran away. The pink ribbon on her hair bun was blown up by the wind, looking very graceful.
Nangong Yu stared at the girl's flustered back, his black eyes like autumn water, his thin lips slightly raised, and he raised his head to drink the wine in his hand.
It seems that he still has a long way to go to catch up with his wife.
But don't be afraid, take it slow, he has plenty of patience.
......
After the banquet, it’s time to give gifts.
Every household gave generous gifts.
Gu Wei and Xie Ling also received two special gifts.
One came from the public and was signed by Gu Yunshu and Gu Yunhuan.
The long-lost memory of exile was opened, and Xie Ling vaguely remembered that this was the descendant of the Gu family's side branch and was considered a clear stream in the Gu family.
Back then, she rescued two sisters who were abducted and left them to fend for themselves. She didn't know how they were doing now.
But looking at this generous and priceless gift, it should be a good one.
Gao Wanhua, who was standing by, heard Xie Ling read out Gu Yunshu and Gu Yunhuan's names, and her eyes lit up.
She ran over, looking excited. "Ah, I know that! They are famous businesswomen in the Seven Kingdoms! They have been helping poor women and doing business with them. I have always wanted to visit them!"
Xie Ling narrowed her eyes, "Is that so? That's great."
Another gift, wrapped in simple linen, was filled with a faint scent of Buddhist incense.
Xie Ling opened it and found two strings of immortality locks and two amulets.
The signature is Gui Wu, followed by two small words below: Shi Qi.
"The gift is small but the thought is great. I have recited the sutra and prayed for your child to be safe and sound."
Xie Ling was surprised. Did Shiqi become a monk?

Everyone here is smiling, and the whole Beijiang is also full of laughter.
The new emperor ascends the throne, the prince and princess reach their full moon, and the whole country celebrates.
Each person can receive 100 kilograms of potatoes and sweet potatoes, 50 kilograms of rice, 10 kilograms of pork, 20 eggs, and a set of winter quilts based on their household registration.......
All the large cafeterias in Sinan are open, and everyone can go there for a free meal, which is equivalent to attending the new emperor’s full moon banquet.
There has never been an emperor in history who is so down-to-earth and close to the people.
The seas are peaceful and the rivers are clear, and the world is stable.
A grand and prosperous era is unfolding.
