The old butler had long realized that no matter whether the princess was present or not, when talking to the prince or thanking him, he must bring the princess along, which would only make the prince happier.

Sure enough, after hearing the old housekeeper's sensible words, Xiao Jingyi nodded, smiled, went to wash up, and then hugged his wife to sleep.

However, before going to bed, he also gave his wife a thick red envelope.

A total of three were packed.

One daughter-in-law and one for each of the two children.

The red envelopes contained tens of thousands of taels of silver.

This was the private savings he had worked so hard to save this year, and it was sent to him after the settlement was made at the end of the year.

He gave them all to his wife and children, and only then did he feel very satisfied. He quietly hugged his wife and fell into a sweet dream.

The old housekeeper and his servants stayed up until the first day of the new year. Some of the older ones were already past the point of wanting to sleep, but they were still full of energy and simply didn't want to sleep.

Now there are sounds of firecrackers everywhere outside, it's very festive.

The housekeeper simply ordered the servants who were still awake to continue preparing breakfast.

This year's New Year was the best, happiest and most family-reunion year he had had in all these years. Seeing the prince happy, he was happy too.

The servants chatted while they worked.

"When the little prince or princess in the princess' belly is born, next year's New Year will be even more lively."

"That's not the case!"

“This is what Chinese New Year is all about!”

Some old people lamented that in the past, the palace was the most deserted in the whole capital during the New Year.

It's completely different from now.

They all sincerely thanked the princess for coming.

The guard was awakened by the sound of firecrackers and wandered into the kitchen to look for food.

The guards and the kitchen servants have long been familiar with each other.

Everyone in the palace knows that they are the guardians of the house and are the princess and the prince's treasures. No one can afford to lose them.

It is said that the cubs they gave birth to can also become generals who command the wolf pack in the military camp, and it goes without saying how much they are loved by the prince.

The old housekeeper gave the wolf who was guarding the house a whole chicken, which was cooked of course, because the guard only ate cooked food.

I gave all the delicious food to the guards, and I also thought of the little ones, especially the pregnant one, so I couldn't treat them badly.

He often instructed the servants who took care of the little ones to feed them two extra meals in the middle of the night, and to add apples to the food, which was even better than what humans ate.

Qin Zhongyue woke up from hunger after a good sleep in the morning. When he opened his eyes, he found a heat source next to him. He turned around and saw that it was Xiao Jingyi.

Today is the first day of the Lunar New Year and he is not going to attend the morning court, so he gave himself a day off.

Qin Zhongyue hadn't seen Xiao Jingyi when she woke up in the morning for a long time, so she stared at his eyebrows and eyes carefully.

He wondered whether their children, when they were born, would look like him or like him.

She hoped that all boys would be as handsome as their fathers, and girls would have to have the qualities that are in line with her and their fathers.

After staring at the person opposite him and seeing him suddenly open his eyes, Qin Zhongyue gave him a good morning kiss.

On the first day of the Lunar New Year, everyone stays at home and basically no one spends the day visiting relatives.

Xiao Jingyi spent the entire day with Qin Zhongyue in the palace.

They didn't go out, but they received many invitations and visiting cards.

Either you invite someone to your home as a guest, or you come to your home to ask for a favor.

The invitations were just for show. Everyone knew that Princess Xiaoyao was pregnant with two babies. If she really came to visit, they would be really scared.

Qin Zhongyue didn't even look at the visiting cards and invitations. He just left it to the housekeeper to handle it.

On the second day of the Chinese New Year, Xiao Jingyi accompanied Qin Zhongyue back to Qin's house to visit her mother's family.

Qin Zhongyue hasn't been to her mother's house for a long time.

Xiao Jingyi thought that his wife would give birth soon and she would have no chance to come to the Qin family, so he customized a carriage that required four horses to pull before the New Year.

The interior of the carriage can be said to be a fully equipped mobile home.

Needless to say, Chengdu is spacious. It is more than three square meters and you can even roll around in it.

The carriage was covered with the softest cushions, and on top was a soft fur.

In the corner is a small table with rounded corners, and next to it are secret compartments, which are filled with Qin Zhongyue's favorite foods.

There is a secret compartment in the middle that can be pulled open. Inside is a small stove, which can be used to make a fire and boil water while also roasting sweet potatoes, peanuts and other foods.

There was even a small cubicle dedicated to the toilet, in case Qin Zhongyue needed to go to the toilet on the way and didn't have time to hold it in.

The luxury of this carriage really touched Qin Zhongyue's heart.

"Did you have this made, or was it already for sale?"

There is even a toilet, which is really thoughtful and awesome.

Anyone who is pregnant knows that there cannot be any water in the bladder, otherwise you will wet your pants if you are not in time.

It was really nice to have a toilet on the carriage!

"Of course I had it made by someone. It's the only one of its kind in the world!"

How could Xiao Jingyi miss the opportunity to have his wife praise him.

He came up with this carriage after looking at many other carriages.

"My Lord, you are so kind to me!

Let’s go now.”

Qin Zhongyue missed his parents, brothers and eldest niece. He hadn't been to the Qin family for more than a month.

However, her parents have visited Qin Zhongyue before, but it was different from when she went to her parents' home by herself.

"We're already on our way. We'll be here in a little while."

"what?"

Qin Zhongyue didn't believe it and lifted the curtain to look outside. She saw that the carriage was really moving, "But why didn't I feel it?

How did you do that?

There was really no feeling at all, not a single steady feeling at all, otherwise she wouldn't have thought he hadn't left yet.

"The wheels are covered with leather, and there are other things. Anyway, I am awesome, aren't I?"

Seeing Qin Zhongyue's happy look, Xiao Jingyi felt that it was all worth it after he had worked so hard to ride in the carriage for more than two months.

It was also because Qin Zhongyue thought that she would take the children out to play and go back to her parents' home in the future. The original carriage was too small and could not accommodate their whole family, so she had to get an extra large one.

Thinking that his wife's belly was still big and couldn't stand the bumps, and that his children were still young and couldn't stand the bumps either, he personally spent two months researching and finally made this all-in-one carriage.

“Amazing, so awesome!

The prince is simply omnipotent!"

The more Qin Zhongyue looks at Xiao Jingyi, the more she likes him. She throws him nice words without asking for anything in return. Seeing him happy, she is happy too.

The Qin family had been waiting at the door for a long time, and even little Baozhu was held at the door waiting for her aunt and uncle to come.

"I, a commoner, pay my respects to the Grand Empress Dowager. May the Grand Empress Dowager be blessed with good health!"

"Haha, good kids, straighten up!

Oh, I've said it so many times, I'm just a little old lady, don't say those nonsense, just call me Madam.

Come on, come on, everyone, happy new year, this is the red envelope I give you, all are included!"

The Empress Dowager liked this kind of liveliness, so the red envelopes were prepared two days ago, and she was going to give one to everyone when she came to the Qin family.

She particularly liked this scene, which even included Jiang and Qin Renshan.

Jiang and Qin Renshan were very excited. When had they ever received red envelopes from their elders? Not even when they grew up, let alone when they were children. This was the first time they had received a red envelope in their lives. They were very moved and took it with both hands respectfully.

"Thank you, Madam!"

"Hahahaha, good!"

"Jingxian meets uncle and aunt, I hope they are in good health!

Meet the eldest brother, the second brother, the third brother, and the fourth brother!"

After they finished their conversation, the Sixth Princess quickly paid her respects to Jiang and Qin Renshan before everyone could react. Otherwise, she was really afraid that they would pay their respects to her later, and the thought of that scene would make her scalp tingle.

These are my mother-in-law and father-in-law from now on. After I got married, I became the youngest in the whole family.

Everyone could see clearly her little thoughts, but no one exposed them and everyone just smiled in good faith.

The Sixth Princess is quite thick-skinned, but she is a girl after all, so she still has to consider her face.

If you tease her at this time, she will definitely want to find a hole to hide in.

It’s New Year’s Day, so everyone chose to let her go.

After each of them exchanged polite greetings, Qin Renshan and Jiang invited everyone into the mansion.

The second day of the Lunar New Year is the day when married women return to their parents' homes. Qin Zhongyue originally thought that her second and third sisters-in-law had returned to their parents' homes, but when they entered the house, they found that all the family members were at home, and her third and second sisters-in-law had not returned to their parents' homes either.

Qin Zhongyue also knew that they would not come back, and probably stayed at home just to wait for her.

The second and third sister-in-law's parents' homes are also in the capital, which is very close. It is probably agreed upon, so she didn't ask too much.

It's more lively when the family is together. If they go back to her parents' home today, she won't be able to see them for a long time.

"Princess sister, your belly is so big?

Are you very tired and exhausted? How can you walk with such a big belly? "

Bai Lexuan was always surprised when she saw Qin Zhongyue's big belly.

"It's OK. I usually don't go out or walk around at home. I just sit or lie down. I will be able to unload in more than a month."

"discharge?"

Not only was Bae Lexuan a little confused about what the term "unloading" meant, but everyone else also looked at her in confusion.

Qin Zhongyue chuckled and let the cat out of the bag again.

She pointed to her big belly.

"I carry such a big belly every day, just like carrying a heavy load on my back. When the baby is born, it will be like unloading the load, and I will feel relieved then."

"Hahaha, Princess sister, you are really good at describing things. This description is so apt. It is indeed like what you said."

It took a long time for Bae Lexuan to change her name to "Princess Sister". Before, she was always called "Princess Sister", but suddenly she became the second sister-in-law of "Princess Sister". My husband said that it was not in accordance with etiquette to call her "Sister", so she changed it.

Qin Zhongyue asked them to just call her sister, but for Bai Lexuan, I want to add the title of Princess, saying that it is her exclusive title.

Because she didn't like her second uncle's sister from her natal family, if she just called the princess "sister", and if that person was present and agreed, it would be very alienating.

I originally asked for leave thinking that today was the day when my daughters from other families would go back to their parents' home and no one from home would come, but I came anyway.

It was the families of the second and third daughter-in-law that came.

The two families came here hoping to meet King Xiaoyao and Princess Xiaoyao at the Qin Mansion today. Because Princess Xiaoyao was pregnant, these people usually didn't dare to bother the mansion. Also, Xiao Jingyi didn't allow others to disturb her, so they took advantage of this opportunity to meet each other and get close to each other.

When Bai Lexuan saw that his second uncle actually brought his concubine's daughter with him, the smile on his face disappeared.

Because there are so many people today, men and women must be separated, so the concubine's daughter from my second uncle's family must be brought here from the backyard, and she must be taken care of.

She is her mother's sister. If she doesn't care, and something happens, it will be a disgrace to her second uncle and her mother's family.

She really didn't like this concubine's daughter. It wasn't because she was a concubine's daughter that she disliked her, but simply because this person had a bad personality. She just simply didn't like this person.

Why did the second uncle bring her here when he knew that he didn't like this sister?

Could it be what she thought?

"Second sister-in-law, what's wrong with you?"

Qin Zhongyue noticed that Xiao Ersao's mood suddenly became low. Could it be that she had something on her mind? So he asked her, perhaps he could help.

Bai Lexuan didn't want to hide it from her family.

She always just doesn't ask questions, but if you ask her, she will definitely answer.

Now she is the daughter-in-law of the Qin family. The Qin family is her home. She will not hide anything from anyone who likes her and cares about her.

Seeing that the concubine sister was still far away, he whispered the reason to his sister-in-law, his brother's wife and his sister.

After hearing this, several people felt really upset, especially Hou Shuman. She also had a concubine sister, and that concubine sister always made them feel particularly upset.

He is very awkward when faced with problems, petty, and likes to stir up trouble.

Because they were raised by their mothers, their personalities are basically the same as their mothers, and they are not presentable. However, they always regard themselves as genuine girls. So why don't you act like a genuine girl?

But she just behaves like a concubine, which is really disgusting.

It can be said that among all the legal wives, daughters and sons, no one likes the existence of illegitimate sons and daughters.

"My little girl greets Her Majesty the Princess. Long live Her Majesty the Princess!"

"My little girl greets the Sixth Princess. Long live the Sixth Princess!"

The concubine of General Pei's family came over and greeted Qin Zhongyue first, then the Sixth Princess, then Su Luoqing and Hou Shuman, and after going around in a circle, she finally looked at Pei Lexuan with a timid look.

"big sister!"

She knew that her elder sister had never liked her, and she was more afraid of this elder sister. What's more, this elder sister had been in poor health before. Even though she was well now, she was still very afraid of her and dared not to provoke her.

The small courtyard here is where the young wives gather, while the elders are in the hall.

People who are familiar with the Qin family and Qin Zhongyue, such as the Beihou and his family, Fang Weichen, Que and others, all know that after Qin Zhongyue became pregnant, the Empress Dowager would always be with her whenever Qin Zhongyue went out.

So today, the mistresses of the Pei and Hou families also came to pay their respects to the Empress Dowager.

The one who came from the Pei family was naturally General Pei’s wife, and the one who came from the Hou family was Hou Shuman’s mother.

Both of them have lost their parents, so they don’t go back to their parents’ home on the second day of the Chinese New Year every year.
