Surprise! The villain is my brother, stay calm!

On the Mid-Autumn Festival, Lu Zhanxing was about to go to the palace to attend the Mid-Autumn Festival banquet when someone from Yonglian Marquis's mansion came to inform him that his second sister was about to give birth.

Lu Zhanxing didn't want to attend the boring palace banquet in the first place, so she immediately sent someone to the palace to tell them that she wanted to watch her second sister give birth.

After that, he ran to the Yonglian Marquis Mansion and completely denied any involvement in the palace banquet.

When Lu Jin and Luo learned that their grandson was about to be born, they immediately sent someone to the palace to ask for leave and went to see their second daughter.

After their parents and younger brother left, the eldest and third sisters also felt it was boring, so they turned around and went to the Yonglian Marquis Mansion.

As a result, the Palaces of Prince Yi, Marquis Yongding, Marquis Yonglian, and Earl Jing'an all sent people to inform others that they could not attend the palace banquet.

Lu Zhanyan felt helpless when he saw that more than half of the seats were empty. This Mid-Autumn Festival banquet became even more boring.

I wish I could take my wife and children to see my second sister give birth.

But he is the emperor. What will happen to these ministers if he leaves?

He could only remain calm at the main seat at the banquet, feeling that being an emperor also had its own troubles.

The most worried person was Mu Qingli. She thought she could see Lu Zhanxing tonight, but it turned out that row of seats was all empty.

Especially since there were two ministers next to him asking him whether he had married or not, their words implied that they wanted to marry their daughter to him, which made Mu Qingli very worried.

I wanted to find an excuse to leave, but when I saw His Majesty's expressionless face on the main seat, I knew that His Majesty was very angry. After all, none of His Majesty's relatives came to celebrate Mid-Autumn Festival with him.

In order to avoid bad luck, Mu Qingli could only drink in silence and persuade himself to be patient for the time being!

Seeing that His Majesty was in a bad mood, Queen Chu naturally understood what His Majesty was thinking.

Glancing at the seat next to the prince, she saw that it was quite empty, so she advised, "I heard that Princess Duan Ning is giving birth today. This nephew is also very good at choosing a day. It happens to be the Mid-Autumn Festival, so he must be eager to come out and reunite. We are also a family. Why don't we end the banquet early and go to the Yonglian Marquis' Mansion with Your Majesty?"

These words really touched Lu Zhanyan's heart. Yes, he was also a member of the Lu family. How could his brothers and sisters forget about his family?

"What the Queen said makes sense. I think the ministers also want to be reunited with their families. So we will distribute the food from the banquet to the ministers so that they can take it back and enjoy it with their families."

"Thank you for your grace!"

The ministers thanked him joyfully, as if they were afraid that His Majesty would go back on his word.

Who doesn't want to go back early during the Mid-Autumn Festival? But His Majesty's invitation to a banquet is a blessing for the ministers. It also proves that His Majesty favors them, so they have no choice but to come.

Now, I have attended the banquet, and His Majesty has also given me some dishes to take back home for the festival. This is a very honorable thing, and I can also let my family members who have never eaten palace banquet cuisine have a taste of it.

Therefore, the ministers were the happiest during this Mid-Autumn Festival. They couldn't help but feel grateful to Princess Duanning for giving birth to a baby, and they thought of asking someone to prepare a gift when they returned.

Lu Zhanyan also figured it out. It turned out that these ministers didn’t really want to attend this banquet!

Then he should hold fewer banquets in the future and reduce the expenses in the palace.

Lu Zhanxing and his family were waiting in the outer hall of the delivery room, and Lu Xihan's screams were heard from the delivery room.

Lu Zhanxing had experienced this before, so she understood the pain of childbirth very well.

When Lu Zhanyan and others arrived at the Yonglian Marquis Mansion, the baby was not yet born in the delivery room.

Everyone was very surprised to see His Majesty coming, and just as they were about to salute, Lu Zhanyan stopped them: "We are all family, no need to be polite!"

Lu Zhanxing didn't bother to be polite with him: "My second sister has been in there for several hours. I don't know how she is doing."

Queen Chu comforted him, "Don't worry, my brother. When I gave birth to An An, it took me all night. Duan Ning will be fine."

Suddenly there was another scream from inside. Lu Zhanxing's heart jumped out of his chest. He was even more anxious than Zhou Li, the future father.

Zhou Li was also startled by the sound inside. He rushed into the delivery room without caring about anything else. He encouraged and comforted his wife. Seeing how painful it was for her to give birth, he quickly said that he would never give birth again. He was more afraid of losing Lu Xihan than his second sister.

Lu Zhanxing breathed a sigh of relief when he saw his second brother-in-law go in. His eldest sister and eldest brother-in-law are in true love, his second brother-in-law and second sister are in true love, and his third sister... and her future third brother-in-law, there should be no problem too!

Just as she was daydreaming, a cry was heard from the delivery room, and everyone finally put their minds at ease.

The midwife came out holding a swaddling cloth and congratulated everyone: "Congratulations, gentlemen and ladies, Princess Duan Ning has given birth to a daughter."

"Wow, Ling'er is going to have a younger sister? Let me see it quickly." Ling'er said excitedly while staying in Luo's arms.

"This prince wants to see it too." Little An An was also excited about having a second sister.

The adults took turns looking at the newborn. The newborn was wrinkled and not fully grown, so it was not very good-looking.

An An and Ling Er were silent after seeing it. Is this what the little girl looks like? Why is she so ugly?

Lu Zhanxing tapped his daughter's head and said, "In a few days, your sister will be very beautiful. You will be her older brother and older sister in the future. You must protect her well, okay?"

Ling'er and An'an nodded heavily and accepted the task.

Bai Yu, who was following behind Ling'er, watched coldly, feeling more and more confused. He had been in Prince Yi's mansion these days, and although everyone was very friendly to him, he found that Ling'er was too favored and liked by too many people.

The more I was by her side, the more I felt that I was out of tune with her.

Ling'er is very busy every day. She has to meet various elders and learn various skills. Although I am always by her side, compared with Ling'er's intelligence, I feel more and more that I am not worthy of her.

This kind of rich and luxurious life made him extremely uncomfortable.

It even made him feel confused. Did he really have to follow such an outstanding Ling'er like this?

When Ling'er grows up, will she really notice her ordinary self?

Speaking of appearance, it seems that none of the Lu family members are ugly, and my appearance, which is praised by everyone, does not have the slightest advantage.

At such a young age, he looked at this wonderful family and felt envious and a little jealous at the same time.

He couldn't help but want to destroy this happy family.

At the moment his eyes changed, Ling'er suddenly held his hand: "Brother Yu, we will have a little sister in the future, can we take care of her together?"

Bai Yu came back to his senses and suddenly looked at Ling'er, whose smile was as beautiful as a flower and whose eyes were clear. He quickly cleared the dark thoughts that he shouldn't have from his mind.

Ling'er is so nice, how could I hurt her and her family?

At the same time, he also realized that the way he approached Ling'er was wrong.

He nodded expressionlessly: "Okay!"

Lu Zhanyan thought that this child born on August 15th was quite auspicious, so he conferred the title of Princess Xinyue on her.

Zhou Li quickly thanked him and paid more attention to the affairs of the Ministry of Revenue.

He has always envied Xingdi for having a well-behaved Ling'er. Now, he also has a little girl, so he doesn't have to envy Xingdi anymore, haha!

Seeing that their second son-in-law was not unhappy because he had a daughter, Mr. and Mrs. Lu Jin also breathed a sigh of relief. The sons-in-law they chose were indeed people of good character. The one with the surname Feng did not count, but Yan Yusheng did.

Seeing that his second sister was safe and sound, Lu Zhanxing decided not to disturb her any longer and took his baby Ling'er and his wife to visit the Lantern Festival.

The eldest brother-in-law started to stick to the eldest sister again, and asked her indirectly whether she wanted a daughter as cute as Ling'er?

His eyes were full of envy. Before he saw Ling'er, he thought it didn't matter whether to have a child or not. But after seeing such a smart child like Ling'er, he began to be moved.

Gu Xuyao ​​felt that the little baby he and Lu Xihua had would definitely be smarter and cuter than Ling'er.

Lu Xihua was somewhat tempted, but when she thought about the fact that she was now a general, she had to train troops every day and deal with those disobedient soldiers. If she became pregnant, wouldn't it hurt the child?

So she had to think about it again.

Yan Yusheng asked her third sister to go to the Lantern Festival as well, and even Lu Zhanyan's family of three went to the Lantern Festival. Little An An held her parents' hands, looking indifferent on the surface, but in fact she was very happy.

Ling'er held her parents' hands, jumping up and down, feeling indescribably happy.

Bai Yu looked at this scene and found it extremely glaring.

"Brother Yu, come here quickly, let's guess riddles together," Xiao Ling'er waved at him with a sweet smile beside the stall in front.

Bai Yu came back to his senses and walked over quickly.

Su Xianye gently reminded them to be careful not to get separated.

Mu Qingli watched the family from a distance but did not go up to disturb them.

"My lord, aren't you going over?" Hua Guo asked doubtfully.

"No, go back!"

They were a family of three visiting the Lantern Festival, why should I disturb them?
