After Zhou Qiongyue returned from Cheng'en Marquis Mansion, she no longer paid attention to this matter, mainly because she trusted her mother Jin to be able to handle the matter.
The next time Zhou Qiongyue appeared in front of everyone in Yuan'an was when the Second Prince's eldest son's full moon banquet was held. In the end, it was Duan Jianing who gave birth to the eldest son.
Xie Zixin had tried hard, but every time she ordered someone to make a potion, it always had no effect after she drank it. She even fell down, but there were always people around her who supported her in time, which made her very angry.
She did try to lay hands on Duan Jianing, and the final result was that Duan Jianing's child was successfully born.
The key point is that when Xie Zining heard that Duan Jianing had given birth to a child, her belly, which had been silent all the time, was so angry that it seemed like it was about to give birth.
This was not what made Xie Zixin most angry. What made her most angry was that she remembered that her first child in her previous life was a son, but this time she gave birth to a daughter.
When Xie Zixin heard that it was a daughter, she fainted on the spot. If it weren't for the skilled midwife and the imperial physician, she might have bled profusely.
Even so, Xie Zixin made a big fuss when she woke up, insisting that the child was not hers and that she had given birth to a son.
The second prince, who was guarding outside the door the whole time, knew best that there was no such possibility. He could only think that Xie Zixin missed her son so much that she was crazy.
In fact, Xie Zixin didn't think about it. She got pregnant in this life more than a year earlier than in her previous life. How could it be possible that she was pregnant with the child of her previous life if the timing was different?
When it came to the full moon banquet for the Second Prince and Duan Jianing's child, although the drought had just ended at that time, since this was the Second Prince's eldest son, the banquet was still held with great pomp and circumstance.
Zhou Qiongyue also started packing after breakfast. After she finished packing, she went out with Yuan Bohua and his men.
Yuan Bohua did not ride a horse when going out today, but took a carriage with Zhou Qiongyue.
Yuan Bohua had requested leave from the Emperor specifically to attend the full moon banquet for the Second Prince's eldest son. Otherwise, he would have been very busy repatriating disaster victims from outside the city.
The full moon gift Zhou Qiongyue prepared for the second prince's eldest son was a precious-looking jade pendant for men. She and Yuan Bohua also chose to wear expensive jade pendants.
When the time comes, I will pick them and put them in a pot to add to the joy. It would not be appropriate to be too shabby, after all, there are so many nobles in Yuan'an!
When Zhou Qiongyue and Yuan Bohua arrived, they saw the Second Prince and the Fifth Prince standing at the main gate to greet them. Zhou Qiongyue was so happy to see the Second Prince that he almost burst into tears.
Zhou Qiongyue quickly pulled Yuan Bohua over and congratulated him, smiling, "Second cousin, congratulations on becoming a father!"
"Cousin, congratulations on becoming an aunt!" The Second Prince said with a smile, then stepped forward and put his arm around Yuan Bohua's shoulders. "Congratulations on becoming an uncle, too. When will you two let me become an uncle?"
Zhou Qiongyue looked at her second cousin who was showing off, and threatened him with a smile: "Second cousin, don't force me to confront you on such a beautiful day."
After Zhou Qiongyue finished speaking, she raised her fist demonstratively.
Seeing this, the fifth prince Li Jingyu actively fanned the flames, "Cousin, the second prince has become a little arrogant since he had a child. You should let him see how powerful you are."
The Second Prince hit his brother on the head and warned him, "Li Jingyu..."
The Fifth Prince, who was patted by the Second Prince, immediately said, "Second Brother, you are busy here. I will take my cousin and brother-in-law in."
After the Fifth Prince finished speaking, he didn't care about the Second Prince's expression and immediately led Zhou Qiongyue and Yuan Bohua inside.
In fact, the Fifth Prince had long since stopped wanting to be a door god here. Every time someone came, he would smile, and his face became stiff from smiling.
However, the three of them didn't walk far together before they separated. After all, at such a large banquet, men and women were separated.
So the fifth prince and Yuan Bohua went to where the male relatives were, while Zhou Qiongyue took people to where the female relatives were.
When Zhou Qiongyue arrived at the women's residence, a large group of people saluted her. She nodded to each one and told them not to be so polite. She looked around and saw that the women from the Marquis Cheng'en Mansion had not arrived yet, so she went straight to Princess Yongchun's residence.
Zhou Qiongyue stepped forward and bowed with a smile, "Your Highness, your humble servant greets you!"
Princess Yongchun reached out and pulled Zhou Qiongyue to sit beside her, teasing her, "You are still being polite to me, but now your status is almost the same as mine."
Zhou Qiongyue just smiled and didn't take Yongchun's words to heart. After all, in terms of nobility, Yongchun, who had royal blood, was definitely more noble. The rules still had to be followed.
"Why are you here so early, Your Highness?" Zhou Qiongyue was simply looking for a topic to chat.
Yongchun leaned close to Zhou Qiongyue and muttered, "Ah, it's quite boring to stay in the Princess's Mansion all day. I wanted to come to my brother's place earlier to see the fun, but what a pity! It's been quite quiet since I arrived."
Talking about gossip, Zhou Qiongyue was also quite curious, "Then who didn't come out to make trouble?"
Yongchun shook his head. "Maybe he was locked up by his brother. It is said that Concubine Xie insisted that she gave birth to a son and didn't even look at the daughter."
"Who's raising the child now?" Zhou Qiongyue didn't feel any pity for the child; reincarnation was a technical skill, after all. She was simply curious.
Yongchun shook her head, indicating that she didn't know such details.
Seeing Yongchun didn't know, Zhou Qiongyue couldn't help but feel a little regretful. If she had asked her fifth cousin when she came in earlier, he would definitely know. It was really unpleasant to listen to half of the gossip.
The other people around saw Princess Yongchun and Princess Fu'an standing very close to each other. They were whispering to each other about something, and the expressions on their faces were very vivid.
They were quite curious, but due to their high status, no one dared to disturb them, let alone ask questions.
Zhou Qiongyue chatted with Yongchun for a while, and then the wife of Marquis Cheng'en came with the female members of the Marquis Cheng'en's mansion. Zhou Qiongyue went over and chatted with her grandmother, mother, and second aunt for a while.
The auspicious time had arrived, and both the female and male members of the family entered a common hall. Then the Second Prince and his wife, who was holding the child, came out together.
Zhou Qiongyue also looked at Duan Jianing's arms immediately, but the weather was a bit cold, and the child was wrapped in a small quilt, and wrapped very tightly.
Although Zhou Qiongyue was relatively close, she didn't see the child.
Everyone started praising the little grandson of the emperor. Just as they were praising him for a while, the emperor's edict and rewards arrived.
Everyone quickly knelt to listen to Eunuch He read the imperial edict, paying little attention to the other words of praise. This imperial edict had a single purpose: to give the young grandson a name. The emperor gave him the name 'Li Chengheng', which means calm and decisive.
