You are my golden finger

Chapter 213 Daily Life of the Three Treasures (3)

The skill that the three kids learned the fastest was to compete for favor. Whenever they saw Lin Xijin, the three cute kids would open their arms and ask for a hug.

But Manman was the most eager to be favored. No matter whether Lin Xijin held Yangyang or Nuannuan first, Manman would cry. The funniest thing was her fake crying, without any tears at all. Only when Lin Xijin held her first would she smile and speak baby talk.

However, Lin Xijin did not spoil her. Looking at the child's reaction, she felt that she should understand something.

"Manman, mommy is telling you, a mommy must be fair. I have to take turns holding you. The first time, I'll hold Yangyang first. The second time, it's Nuannuan's turn. The third time, mommy will definitely hold Manman first. Do you understand?"

After emphasizing it several times, the delicate Manman finally stopped competing for favor with her two brothers.

It’s just that Murong Xu is a complete daughter-indulging maniac. Every time he comes back from court, he holds his little daughter Manman in his arms. The two sons are just occasional entertainment for the father and daughter after dinner.

However, Yangyang and Nuannuan are not short of people to love them. Xijia, Xinlan and Anan all live in the East Palace now, regardless of whether it is a holiday or not. Yuehe is also a frequent visitor. As long as the three little babies are awake, they are darlings that everyone likes to tease.

But Nuannuan didn't live up to his reputation, he usually had a cold face like a little boy, so he became the target of everyone's bets.

The common theme of betting is whoever can make Nuannuan laugh wins.

However, the only one who has won so far is Duan Jingyun. That time, he amused Nuannuan with a wooden man that could perform various body movements.

Manman is everyone's favorite baby, because no matter who teases her, she can chat with you in baby language.

Yangyang is neither as cold as Nuannuan nor as passionate as Manman. Not only does he look like Lin Xijin, but his personality is also very similar.

Therefore, people who are familiar with Lin Xijin and Murong Xu are envious of Lin Xijin. Not only did she give birth to three babies in one pregnancy, but she was also able to give birth to one who looks like me, one who looks like you, and another who is part of me and part of you. It's like Nuwa creating humans.

Lin Xijin could only laugh at these people's wild imaginations. How could it be so easy? It was all just a coincidence. Maybe there was a will from heaven? Should we thank the heaven for the gift?

In the busy daily life of the three children, Lin Xijin soaked in the spiritual spring, practiced martial arts, and her body quickly recovered. Soon, the full moon banquets of the three children were held.

The emperor was delighted, and perhaps like the empress dowager, he wanted to show off. He granted special permission for officials of the fourth rank and above to bring their families into the palace.

The palace had not held a palace banquet for a long time. This time, Sanbao's full moon banquet happened to coincide with a good time when the country was peaceful and the people were prosperous. The emperor specially ordered the empress and the imperial concubine to prepare for it in a grand manner.

In addition to the funds allocated by the Ministry of Rites for the full-moon banquet, the emperor and the empress dowager added another sum, and Murong Xu sent a silver note of 10,000 taels. He also spread the word that the two of them should go all out to organize it, and he would make up for the shortfall.

As a result, the full moon banquet became an unprecedented festive and lively palace banquet. The entire palace was decorated with lights and flowers, and it was decorated with indescribable joy.

Officials always treated these banquets as matchmaking parties for their children, so each official would bring his own sons and grandsons, or his own daughters and granddaughters, and they would carefully dress up their younger generations, making them extremely luxurious.

Princess Yuehe will be coming of age next spring, and the Queen intends to help her find a suitable match at this palace banquet.

Xinfeng is the same age as Yuehe, and the Queen originally had her eye on Xinfeng. But some time ago, Xinfeng asked the Emperor to give him a surname, and the Queen learned from Xinlan that Xinfeng was in love with Xijia.

The queen didn't want to do anything to ruin other people's marriages, so she asked the palace painters to present several portraits. These young men had good family backgrounds.

“Yuehe, you should also take a look at these portraits so that you can have a clear idea of ​​what they are like. At the palace banquet, take a look at them yourself and see what the real people are like.” The Queen stopped Princess Yuehe who was about to run out.

Yuehe's mind is the same as Xinlan's, not very mature yet. Apart from eating, drinking and having fun, she is not very enthusiastic about this matter. She said "It's all up to the mother" and went to play with Xijia and Xinlan.

The queen didn't know whether to laugh or cry. Although the emperor's daughter had no trouble finding a husband, she still hoped that Yuehe could find someone she loved and spend her life with. Many thirteen or fourteen-year-old girls outside the palace were eager to find a good marriage.

Perhaps it was all his fault that "once bitten by a snake, one becomes afraid of ropes for ten years". Ever since she was poisoned by a palace concubine and had an abortion, he was afraid that something might happen to Yuehe, so he protected her too well.

The queen was thinking too far ahead. But she was very glad that Northern Qiang and Southern Yue were beaten to the point of being powerless by Murong Xu, and that the Jin Dynasty had become stronger. Princess Yuehe did not have to go to marry, and being able to stay by her side and take care of her was better than anything else.

The queen resigned herself to the fate of picking up the portraits and looking at them one by one, but could not get the point. Later, she simply asked the nanny to take the portraits to the queen mother and the imperial concubine. The three of them discussed for a long time and selected two candidates, one was General Wu's younger brother Wu Beijing, and the other was Ye Qinwen, the son of the Minister of Culture.

Lin Xijin doesn't care how much inner drama everyone has. Her current life has only three major themes: eating, exercising, and taking care of the baby. Occasionally, she listens to Ye Jinlin and Xingwen report on business in various places. It is really very regular.

The full moon banquet was held as scheduled under the attention of thousands of people.

Xijia, Xinlan and Anan pushed three baby carriages with cloth canopies in a row into the palace banquet hall, which was really cool.

Xihui and Xinfeng entered the venue pushing a three-layer cake, and Murongxu and Lin Xijin followed behind.

Behind the two of them were Yuehe, Ming Ruyue, Xingcheng, Xiaowen, Duan Jingyun, Chen Lele, Qi Jinghao and others. They entered one after another, and the team was quite spectacular.

Xijia, Xinlan and Anan lifted the tarpaulin and raised the seat of the stroller a little, revealing three cute little babies, which attracted bursts of admiration from the ministers and their families.

The three little ones were not afraid of strangers, their little eyes were rolling around, and the little girl Manman was even babbling in baby language to greet everyone.

The emperor spoke a few words about the purpose of the palace banquet, and Eunuch Gao announced the start of the banquet.

Lin Xijin and Murong Xu cut the cake and left with the three cute babies, citing the cold weather. Except for Yuehe who was taken away by the Queen, the group that followed them naturally surrounded the three little babies and returned to the East Palace, where there was a more heartwarming hot pot feast.

Princess Yuehe was pulled to the Queen's side, and the Queen motioned for her to look across. When the Queen and the Imperial Concubine arranged the seats, they deliberately placed the General's Mansion and the Minister of Culture's two families across from their seats, so now they could see Wu Beijing and Ye Qinwen's appearance clearly.

Wu Beijing is tall and handsome, with nothing to fault except his dark skin. Ye Qinwen is gentle and thin, but he is also a good-looking man.

Princess Yuehe was probably used to seeing a group of people practicing martial arts around her, so she glanced at Ye Qinwen and was clearly not interested.

“No one knows a daughter better than her mother.” When the Queen saw her daughter’s expression, she realized there was something she didn’t understand, so she felt relieved and looked at Wu Beijing’s expression with even more appreciation.
