At noon on May 18th, Zhu Wuhuan and Feng Changye brought their two children to the Zhu family.
They were actually quite early for the dusk wedding.
But after all, he is a family member, so he has to come first to support the occasion. It is impossible for him to wait until the last minute to make a grand appearance like he would when attending other ministers' weddings.
Today, the Zhu Mansion is full of joy inside and out.
By this time, most of the guests had already arrived.
Even if the original General's Mansion and the later Duke's Mansion were connected, the two super-large mansions could not accommodate so many guests, and many people were placed outside the mansion.
The reason why there were so many guests was that no matter they were officials or merchants, no matter whether they had any relationship with the Zhu family or not, everyone came to the Zhu family.
Everyone in Daning knew that the Zhu family was the Empress' maiden family and the Crown Prince's maternal grandfather's family. No one wanted to miss the rare opportunity to make friends by giving gifts.
Therefore, some merchants of lower status and officials of rank seven or eight, even though they knew they would be seated outside the palace, did not mind and came happily with gifts.
At this moment they were sitting outside surrounding the mansion, and they were all very happy.
To be honest, even if they couldn't establish connections, they would still willingly come to the Zhu family to give gifts. After all, this was the home of generations of heroes, and it was the generals of the Zhu family who had protected the land of Daning.
They sincerely wanted to send their own gifts and blessings to the Zhu family. No matter whether the Zhu family knew them or not, it was just like the Zhu family did not know them but still protected them for generations.
Seeing these guests and listening to their sincere congratulations, no one in the Zhu family, from the master to the servants, was unhappy.
These are the people they are protecting!
Their ancestors did not die in vain on the battlefield. The merits and achievements of the Zhu family are clearly remembered by the people of Daning!
How heartwarming!
At this moment, the groom, Zhu Longyuan, dressed in his wedding attire, stood at the doorway, beaming with joy as he welcomed the guests. Zhu Xuanyuan was inside entertaining the men, while the old lady and Chen Yulan were entertaining the women. Even his younger brother, Zhu Chengying, was running around to entertain the children brought by the guests.
Chengying, who is seven years old this year, is even better than last year. He is very capable in accompanying the little guests, and the little guests are willing to follow him.
"The Emperor has arrived—"
"The Queen has arrived—"
"His Royal Highness the Crown Prince has arrived—"
"Her Royal Highness the Princess has arrived—"
The royal carriage stopped at the door in a grand procession. Xiao Yuanzi shouted loudly, and all the guests of the Zhu family rushed to the door and knelt down to pay their respects.
For a moment, the sound of greetings was like a tsunami, and could be heard in several neighboring streets.
Feng Changye and Zhu Wuhuan sat in the carriage, looking helplessly at Xiao Yuanzi's back through the curtains.
Zhu Wuhuan whispered, "He likes the little princess and the little prince too much, doesn't he? It would have been enough to just mention our two names, but look at him, he insisted on having the little prince and the little princess make a grand appearance as well, as if he was afraid that his little prince and the little princess wouldn't be prestigious enough, tsk tsk..."
Feng Changye also laughed softly, "That's right! It's as if our child really became his. He's quite courageous."
After the two of them finished their proud complaints, they each picked up a child and pinched the child's face to tease them.
"Look at you two, why are you so popular? Eunuch Yuan likes you, Aunt Suqiu likes you, and your second uncle likes you too. He insisted on having you be the bed boys to roll his new bed. Wow, you two are so prestigious!"
"That's right, Second Uncle could have asked Cousin Jun'an and Cousin Jun'yang to be the bed-pressing boys, but he insisted on having you two come. Second Uncle is just envious of you two having twins, right? Second Uncle wants twins, too!"
After entertaining the child, the two prepared to get off the carriage.
As soon as he stood up, a crisp sound came from the carriage -
"Second uncle!"
"..." Zhu Wuhuan and Feng Changye staggered and looked at Xiao'er in their arms in disbelief!
Xiao'er, wearing a little red dress, was waving his little arms and legs happily. When he saw his father and mother looking at him, he giggled with joy.
"Was he calling Second Uncle just now?"
Zhu Wuhuan's cheeks turned red with excitement, and he asked Feng Changye in disbelief.
She was afraid that she had heard it wrong!
Feng Changye was also extremely excited and nodded vigorously, "It's him! He did it!"
The two new parents were so excited that they completely forgot that there were people kneeling outside the car waiting for them. They sat back down and held Xiao'er's little hand to tease him.
"Were you calling him Second Uncle just now? Father and Mother haven't even called him that, yet you're the first to do so?"
"Are you deliberately holding it in, Feng Yuxiao?"
"Tell me, have you been able to speak for a long time, but are you deliberately refusing to call out, insisting on giving your first name to your second uncle instead of your father, the emperor, and your mother, the empress?"
The young couple chatted with their son, and the little prince laughed non-stop, and the carriage was filled with his happy laughter.
Outside the carriage, the people kneeling to pay their respects were all stunned.
There was silence all around just now, but the little prince suddenly spoke, and those who were kneeling closer heard the little prince's voice!
It's soft and sticky, with a little babyish sound, clear and crisp, how nice it sounds!
They couldn't help but look at each other excitedly and whisper to each other -
"Our little prince is only six months old, right? He can already call me Second Uncle. That's amazing!"
"That's right. I remember my baby only started to vaguely call out 'Daddy and Mommy' at seven months old, and only started to speak two words at a time at nine months old."
"Your child is relatively early in speaking. Mine didn't speak until he was eleven months old. I was worried he was a fool..."
"Oh, compared to this, our little prince is really amazing. At just six months old, he can already call me Second Uncle, and he does it so clearly and distinctly! He's so smart! He'll definitely be a good prince in the future, inheriting his father's legacy!"
"The prince is smart, so we can rest assured—"
They no longer have to worry about a stupid crown prince ruining the country.
Everyone looked at each other, saw the meaning in each other's eyes, and smiled knowingly.
Today is a good day, a good day!
If these ministers were generally excited, Zhu Longyuan felt the same as his biological parents, Zhu Wuhuan and Feng Changye.
He is the lucky uncle called by his little nephew!
The little nephew has an eldest uncle, a fourth uncle, and a youngest uncle, but he doesn't call any of them and only calls them the second uncle. What a great honor this is! He can brag about it to his brothers for the rest of his life.
Look, it was me who called out to my nephew first. You guys are so weak!
He was so happy that he couldn't help but shout, "Your Majesty, Your Majesty, doesn't the little prince miss his uncle? Why don't you carry the little prince over to see his uncle?"
