Many guests attended the full moon celebration. Since Yinzhen had already entered the court and participated in government affairs, he knew many officials.
He also controlled the Bordered White Banner, and all the high-ranking officials under his command came to congratulate him. There were also his brothers, as well as the princes and their wives. All in all, there were a lot of people.
With more people, there were more things to arrange in the mansion. Madam Zhong was so busy that she was afraid of doing something wrong, bringing shame to the Fujin (the wife of the deceased) or angering Yinzhen (the son of the deceased).
Fortunately, with the help of Zhangjia and Song, Zhong was not overwhelmed with work.
Yunyi, as the biological mother of the twins and the mistress of the mansion, lived a very leisurely life.
She gave birth to twins and was ambushed by Uya during childbirth, which severely damaged her health. Yinzhen's intention was to let her observe a double postpartum period to recuperate.
Yunyi naturally wouldn't object; her act had to be realistic to fool others.
Since Yinzhen had said so, she, as a new mother whose body had been damaged, agreed and decided to take a postpartum rest.
At this time, the two little ones were a month old, and Yunyi had only completed half of her postpartum confinement. She still had a month left before she could truly recover.
The front courtyard was full of guests for the full moon celebration, and only a few wives who were close to Yunyi were led by their maids to the main courtyard to see Yunyi.
Among these people were the Ninth Prince's wife, Lady Dong'e; the Tenth Prince's wife, Lady Borjigit; and Yunyi's sister-in-law, Lady Niohuru.
Yunyi's brother was unreliable and incompetent, neither good at literature nor martial arts.
But he was quite obedient, and he married a formidable wife who kept him under constant control. Although he wasn't outstanding over the years, he didn't cause any trouble, which put Yunyi at ease.
Therefore, Yunyi had a very good relationship with this capable sister-in-law. The Ulanara family was truly supported by this sister-in-law.
It is because of this amazing mother that Hengrui was able to raise such an outstanding child. In the future, the Ulanara family will rely on this child to support them.
Borjigit was a quick-tongued woman, and as soon as she entered the house, she spotted the two babies inside.
She had never seen twins before, and seeing this, she was quite curious. She quickly took two steps forward to examine the two little ones' appearances.
As she watched, Borjigit's expression grew increasingly puzzled, and she couldn't help but turn to the three people chatting beside her and ask them a question.
"Fourth Sister-in-law, Ninth Sister-in-law, and Lady Nara, look, why do the little prince and the little princess not look alike?"
Actually, newborn babies all look pretty much the same. I don't know how Borjigit could tell that the two little ones didn't look alike.
The three people chatting all smiled. Yunyi didn't move, but the Ninth Prince's wife and Lady Wanyan came over to take a look out of curiosity.
You know what, they looked quite alike before, but after listening to Borjigit's words, the two of them look less and less alike.
The three of them looked at each other, unable to find an answer, and could only turn to look at the two children's biological mother.
Yunyi found it somewhat amusing; the three of them looked both cute and funny in their dazed expressions.
However, she didn't know how to explain it at this moment. She couldn't very well tell them that she had traveled from another time, and that this was all biological knowledge.
Fraternal twins (male and female) are fraternal twins, so they don't look alike. Only identical twins, which are two sons or two daughters, will look the same.
She went on and on, but these ancient people couldn't understand her.
Therefore, Yunyi could only pretend to be confused and act as if she didn't know anything, but she still offered some explanations in her words.
Faced with the three people's questions, Yunyi pretended to think for a moment, and then answered uncertainly, "Maybe it's because they are twins, one male and one female, which are different genders, so they don't look alike. Those who have two sons or two daughters, their children will look more similar."
Borjigit thought this statement made a lot of sense. It would be strange if a man and a woman looked alike, but it wouldn't be strange if two identical brothers or sisters looked alike.
The three couldn't think of any other explanation, and since they felt that Yunyi's words made sense, they accepted this explanation in their hearts.
No longer dwelling on this matter, Borjigit quickly changed the subject to other things.
forecourt
The full moon banquet was well attended, with Prince Zhi, Yinzhi, and Crown Prince Yinreng, the two eldest and most prestigious brothers, showing great respect for Yinzhen.
Regardless of what everyone was thinking, they all maintained a friendly demeanor and appeared to be in perfect harmony.
But everyone present knew that the Prince Zhi and the Crown Prince were fiercely fighting in the court, and the forces behind the two princes were also locked in a fierce struggle.
The only way to get both of them to the same event at the same time, aside from matters within the palace, is for Yinzhen to accomplish.
The Eighth Prince Yinzhi followed behind the Prince Zhi, Yinti. The two were completely different in personality, one rough and the other meticulous and gentle.
Most of the court officials behind Yinzhi were won over by Consort Hui and Nalan Mingzhu, and later it was Yinsi who maintained these relationships and kept them around for him.
Only when Yinzhi was resting could Yinsi get a short break.
This scene broke Guo Luoluo's heart. She and Yinzhi were in love, and after marrying him, the two were a harmonious and loving couple.
Over the years, Yinzhi's harem has been empty except for his primary consort, Lady Guoluo.
Seeing her husband looking so weary, Guo Luoluo felt a pang of heartache, but was powerless to help.
Prince Zhi was not a reasonable person, and Yinzhi's birth mother was under the control of Consort Hui. Because of the fear of harming Yinzhi, Yinzhi dared not do anything that would be detrimental to Yinzhi.
After waiting for a long time, the full moon banquet was finally about to begin. The three people in the main courtyard also bid farewell to Yunyi. They were going to the front courtyard to attend the full moon ceremony of the two little ones and also to add a pot.
Granny Zhong and Wanzhou each took one of the two children and went outside, leaving the once lively inner room suddenly deserted.
Although the two little ones were born prematurely, they were very healthy. When Grandma Xi bathed them, they not only didn't feel scared or uncomfortable, but they also kept laughing with their toothless mouths showing, which charmed everyone present.
Not far away, the eyes of Yinzhi and his wife were different from everyone else's.
