Chapter 173 Full Moon Palace Banquet (I)



(Lingkun Courtyard of the Eastern Palace of Laifeng State, the courtyard where Mu Lige lives.)

On February 30th, the 19th year of Tianze in Laifeng Kingdom, the sun was shining brightly and the breeze was blowing.

This day is of special significance to the Laifeng Kingdom - it is not only the ten-day holiday of the Imperial College, but also the full moon celebration of the adorable twin boy and girl, the Crown Princess and the Crown Princess Zhengjun!

In the early morning, before dawn, the Imperial Noble Gu Changqing arrived at Baohua Palace. He personally took charge, ensuring that everyone in the palace performed their duties and worked in an orderly manner, all in preparation for the grand palace banquet that would be held at noon.

It's worth mentioning that despite raining all day yesterday, the sky was clear this morning. The warm and gentle morning light penetrated the clouds, scattering across the earth in a picturesque way, casting a dreamlike and beautiful glow over the entire world.

At this moment, Lingkun Courtyard in the East Palace was also bustling with activity.

Situ Ye, Han Yichen, Yu Xiaotian, Si Chengfeng, Wu Chen, Zuo An and others gathered in Mu Lige's bedroom, and even the second elder Xuan Ming came to join in the fun.

Mu Lige's four personal servants: Shu Mo, Li Xiang, Yuan Yu and Sang Rou, were holding a pile of exquisite and gorgeous clothes, waiting for their master to choose.

Mu Lige looked at the dazzling array of baby clothes before him, a complex mix of emotions welling up in his heart. Recalling the six years of simple rural life he had spent in Huaqiao Village, a warm smile crossed his handsome face.

Mu Lige inexplicably felt that these gorgeous clothes were a bit of a waste for the baby. He secretly thought that if the money was used to help the poor, or invested in other things related to people's well-being, it might be more meaningful...

After all, babies grow quickly and these clothes will soon become too small to fit. And this kind of clothing, which symbolizes status, cannot be worn by others except for the next child.

Moreover, when he finally has a second child, there will surely be countless exquisite and gorgeous clothes for him to choose from, and he won't have to wear his older brother's or sister's hand-me-down clothes at all...

However, Mu Lige was also well aware that, although he was no longer the eldest grandson of the Zhaoyang Emperor, as the Crown Princess of the Laifeng Kingdom, he still held a high position. Both he and his children needed to have the pomp and dignity that matched their status, and clothing was only part of that.

Of course, as long as it was within his ability, Su Mulige would spare no effort to assist his young wife and seek benefits for the people of Laifeng Country, at least to be worthy of the people's respect and offerings to him...

In just a moment, countless thoughts emerged in Mu Lige's mind.

Ultimately, he personally selected palace attire for his two children. While swaddling would be more comfortable for a baby who was only one month old, the full month was such a significant occasion that even if the clothing was a bit elaborate, it was worth it. After all, such an opportunity only comes once in a lifetime.

"Brother Li, you have such good taste!" Hua Qingcheng looked at the two little guys in front of her with great joy. After they changed into gorgeous palace costumes and court robes, their two already handsome and cute little faces now looked even more noble and energetic.

Mu Lige looked at Hua Qingcheng and smiled tenderly, his eyes full of tenderness. But he said with a hint of meaning: "I just think so too..."

Hua Qingcheng understood what Mu Lige was saying, and she also gazed at him affectionately. A faint smile appeared on the corner of her lips. She also said seriously: "My vision... is also quite good."

As soon as the words fell, the two of them smiled at each other, as if everything around them no longer mattered, and only the mutual understanding between them was the most precious treasure. This tacit understanding and love needed no words to express, it was already deeply engraved in each other's hearts...

However, the six pregnant men standing by, who were fed with "dog food", looked at each other and suddenly felt that their existence seemed redundant?

However, seeing Hua Qingcheng and Mu Lige so happy, everyone felt more envy and blessings.

The eldest brother was gentle and modest, and he and his wife were deeply in love and inseparable. As a family, they naturally benefited from this. Although they occasionally joked and played around, it was nothing more than insignificant and harmless. The entire East Palace backyard was peaceful and free of any dirty or sordid affairs.

Just when Hua Qingcheng and Mu Lige were expressing their love for each other, a powerful voice broke the silence like thunder.

"Your Highnesses are truly outstanding. On this auspicious day, I, an old man, have two small gifts for you..."

As Xuanming spoke, he took out two amulets from his arms and hung them carefully around Longlong and Fengfeng's necks as if they were rare treasures.

Although Xuanming's medical skills have reached the pinnacle, his main job is actually a highly respected Taoist priest, so drawing talismans is naturally easy for him.

"Second Elder, aren't you being a bit too stingy?" Wu Chen's mouth twitched slightly, a look of disdain on his face. In his eyes, compared to items like the Millennium Ice Toad, the Heavenly Silkworm Clothes, and precious elixirs, using a talisman as a full-moon gift was truly unworthy...

"You bastard!" Han Yichen glared at Wu Chen and defended his master without hesitation. "Second Master's medical skills are extraordinary, and his understanding of Taoism is even more outstanding. Otherwise, how could he become the Second Elder of Xuanyi Valley? Don't underestimate this small talisman. It can drive away evil spirits and ensure safety!"
