Since Hua Qingcheng returned from Xuanyi Valley and took charge of the court again, Nalan Yunzhi had a lot of free time every day and went to the General's Mansion almost every day, just to win back Lang's heart as soon as possible.
Hearing Feng Lingyan's words, Nalan Yunzhi's lips curled slightly, but she didn't say much. She looked at the pile of beautiful clothes for adults and children in front of Feng Lingyan with envy on her face.
"Yanbao, I didn't expect you to be so skillful. Not only have you learned to sew clothes, but you can also embroider. This is for our daughter and granddaughters, right? It's so beautiful. I just don't know... I don't know when you, Yanbao, can make one for me..."
Hearing Nalan Yunzhi's words, a trace of embarrassment flashed across Feng Lingyan's handsome face, because he had never thought about this at all.
After all, there were plenty of men eager to make clothes for Nalan Yunzhi, and he wouldn't be the only one. However, he only had one daughter, so naturally, his daughter and her children were more important...
"Today is Qingcheng's 18th birthday. This is the gift I have prepared for a long time. She should like it, right?" Feng Lingyan murmured to herself.
Nalan Yunzhi immediately responded, "Of course. The box of clothes you gave her last year, which covered her from infancy to age seventeen, moved her to tears. As long as it's from you, she's sure to like it."
Just as Feng Lingyan was packing birthday gifts for Hua Qingcheng, Hua Qingcheng's husbands and servants came to Zichen Palace with their children to celebrate her birthday.
In the main hall, Hua Qingcheng sat on the throne. Mu Lige first brought Longlong and Fengfeng forward and asked the two children to give blessings to their mother.
The two little guys, who were more than ten and a half months old, could already stagger for a distance without support. They twisted and turned to Hua Qingcheng's side, each holding one of her legs, and said in a childish voice: "Happy birthday to our Queen Mother. May you have this day every year!"
"So good!" Hua Qingcheng smiled and held a child in each hand, kissing each of their pink little faces.
Soon after, Situ Ye also came to Hua Qingcheng with his two-and-a-half-month-old daughter, Nalan Tiexin, in his arms, and said auspicious words on his daughter's behalf: "Happy birthday, Queen Mother, and may you remain young forever!"
Hua Qingcheng smiled happily and kissed the little guy on the face.
The third person to come on stage was Han Yichen’s nearly five-month-old son Han Yunxuan.
"Xiao Qingcheng, Yunxuan said... he missed his sister!" Han Yichen, holding his son, raised his eyebrows slightly at Hua Qingcheng.
"Ahem, I understand." Hua Qingcheng coughed lightly twice, suppressed the upturned corners of her mouth, gently stroked her son's head, pinched Han Yichen's hand by the way, and gave this monster a meaningful look.
The fourth to come on stage were Yu Xiaotian’s son Nalan Wuyou and Si Chengfeng’s daughter Nalan Xinyue.
These two little guys were both born on October 15th. They are now over a month old. They are chubby and very cute.
Next came Wu Chen’s two-month-old son, Nalan Zhenxing, also known as Su Mu Zhenxing.
"My dear sister, don't you think our son is very cute and handsome, just like his father?"
Wu Chen directly hung his son around Hua Qingcheng's neck and slobbered all over her face.
"Of course I am. Our son is the best!" Hua Qingcheng pulled Wu Chen's clothes, wiped the saliva off his face, and pinched the waist of this unruly guy.
Finally, there is Zuo An’s daughter, Bu Jingfeng, who is only half a month old.
When she saw Zuo An coming, Hua Qingcheng hurriedly got up from her seat, helped him to the couch beside her and let him sit back, and took the child.
"Zuo'an, you haven't even finished your confinement yet, why are you so bothered by all this empty formalities?"
Zuo An glanced at everyone in the hall with a calm look, and then said a little awkwardly: "It's fine, it's just that my daughter wanted to come and see the emperor, not me."
Hua Qingcheng held the child and sat next to Zuo An, "The child looks a lot like you."
Zuo An smiled and reached out to gently touch his daughter's face.
At this time, the other husbands and servants also gathered around, looking at the cute little guy who was not even a month old, everyone had a happy face.
After the excitement, Hua Qingcheng asked her husband and children to return to their respective courtyards. She went to the Imperial Garden for a walk alone.
Hua Qingcheng turned her head and looked south, unable to help but think of her mother and father far away in Huaqiao Village. "I wonder if Mom, Dad, and my younger brother are doing well..." she murmured softly.
Just as Hua Qingcheng was lost in thought, a breeze blew by, bringing with it a familiar scent. Hua Qingcheng turned around abruptly and saw a dark figure walking towards her.
"Qingqing, happy birthday." The person who came was Mu Lige. He leaned over and gently kissed Hua Qingcheng on the forehead, looking at her tenderly, his eyes full of tenderness and love.
Hua Qingcheng smiled slightly and hugged the man who loved her deeply.
