Chapter 65: Full Moon Joy
This is the second happy event for the Jin family since the beginning of autumn.

Get promoted to a higher position.

The joy of new life.

When Rong Peilan and Ji Yunzhang arrived at the Jin family, quite a few people had already arrived.

The Jin family is still in the original place. His Majesty gave the Jin family a vacant piece of land next to it. Because Liu Yaru has not given birth yet, no construction has started and the land is still vacant.

The Jin family is now considered a new elite, and most people in Yanjing City are willing to add icing on the cake.

The Ji family’s current situation is exactly the opposite of the Jin family.

In the past, Zhong had to attend two banquets every month. After the rumors spread in the market, Zhong never went to any banquet again.

Even Uncle Wenyuan's wife, who always liked to ask her to play mahjong, no longer sent her messages.

As soon as the maid at the gate of Jin saw the carriage of Xinling Marquis's mansion, she immediately went to call the wife of the Duke, Ma.

After Ma said a few words to the person who was talking, she came forward in person.

"Sister Zhong." Ma's face was filled with a bright smile. Perhaps she had laughed too much recently, and two fine lines appeared at the corners of her eyes.

In the past, the Zhong family was only close because the children of the two families were good friends.

She had lived for most of her life, but only recently did she see clearly who a true friend was.

"Oh, sister Ma, congratulations!"

Rong Peilan took Ji Yunzhang's hand and slowly got out of the car.

"Greetings, Madam Weiguo." Rong Peilan knelt down and saluted.

Ji Yunzhang supported her carefully at the side.

Ma knew what was going on as soon as she saw it. Since it was still three months old, she couldn't say more. She smiled and said to them, "Come in quickly. It's warm inside."

The guests were mostly in the Jin family's flower hall.

When they arrived at Liu Yaru's yard, Jin Wenyao and Liu Yongnan were competing to hold the baby.

Liu Yaru was talking to the Crown Princess. She was the first one to see Rong Peilan and his group while she was sitting on the couch.

"Madam Hou, Sister Lan, Prince Ji."

As she said that she was about to stand up.

Zhong quickly took two steps forward and held her hand, "Good girl, don't get up."

Rong Peilan and Ji Yunzhang followed in, "Hello, Crown Princess."

The Crown Princess waved her hand, "Today's family dinner is for my sister's wedding, no need to be polite."

Mrs. Zhong turned around and looked at the child, her face full of admiration, "Oh my, this child is so good-looking!"

She took the baby from the wet nurse's arms, and the baby's little body was so soft that she almost couldn't hold it.

Ji Yunzhang took out a large gold lock and said, "Nephew, this is the first time I meet you, so I'm giving you a gift."

As he was about to put the golden lock on the child, Zhong turned around and dodged, so the lock missed and he almost fell to the ground.

Mrs. Zhong rolled her eyes at him and said, "The child is so young, how can he carry such a heavy thing?"

Ji Yunzhang touched his nose awkwardly, turned sideways and put the golden lock into the baby's cradle, "This is just inexperience."

Rong Peilan went to Liu Yaru first.

She saw that Liu Yaru looked very good. Compared to the hard time she had during pregnancy, she was in much better spirits now.

"Sister Ru has worked hard."

Liu Yaru smiled, "It's not a bad thing. The child is quiet and obedient."

The Crown Princess stood up and said, "The Crown Prince is here today too, in the study next door." Ji Yunzhang understood immediately after hearing this. He bowed to the people in the room and whispered to Rong Peilan with concern before leaving, "I'll be back soon, don't get tired."

When he reached the door, he turned back and added, "If there is anything, ask someone to call me."

Rong Peilan's face turned red and she wished she could find a hole to crawl into.

"Mother and aunt are here, what can I do? Go quickly."

Liu Yaru's eyes lit up when she looked at her. Just as she was about to ask, she saw her still flat belly and realized that it was not even three months yet.

After Ji Yunzhang left, she just breathed a sigh of relief, and turned around to see Liu Yaru looking at her with interest.

Her cheeks blushed, she turned around, took a small box from Haitang, and quickly changed the subject.

"I also prepared a gift for my sister."

Liu Yaru was a little surprised. There were a lot of gold and silver gifts given today, but they were all given to children to congratulate them on their new birth.

Rong Peilan opened the box, took out the pair of pink and gold hairpins, and said with a smile, "Peilan congratulates sister on her new birth, and the new mother is also happy."

Liu Yaru took the hairpin and couldn't help but tears welling up in her eyes. "This style doesn't suit me at all. It only looks good on little girls."

Rong Peilan pursed her lips and disagreed, "Sister is only around 20 years old, how can it be inappropriate?"

The Crown Princess took the hairpin from Liu Yaru and pinned it into her hair.

"I think Madam Ji is right. She looks the same as before she got married!"

Liu Yaru burst into laughter, "Sister always teases me."

Rong Peilan took out the prepared material and said, "This is not worth much. It came from Yuhang. I'll make two sets of underwear for the child."

As soon as Liu Yaru touched the material, she knew it was a rare and good material. "This material is better than the one from Qianfang Pavilion!"

The Crown Princess recognized it at a glance. "This material was offered as tribute by Yuhang. There are few snow silkworms, and even fewer that can be offered as tribute. I only got one piece at the palace banquet last year."

"It's rare to get this piece in the market."

Liu Yaru didn't expect the material to be so precious. She pushed it back and said, "Sister, you should keep it for yourself. You may need it in the future."

Rong Peilan gently patted the back of her hand, "It's just a piece of material. How can it be used to make clothes for my nephew? Besides, it has already passed his eyes today. If I take it back, what should I do if my nephew cries at night?!"

Liu Yaru didn't know whether to laugh or cry, "I can't blame you for him crying."

"Since my sister is so kind, I will accept it."

Liu Yaru held her hand and asked her in a low voice, "Sister, do you like sour or spicy food now?"

Rong Peilan thought of Rong Lingkuan who cried because of the spicy food that day. She felt that the spices from Fannan were very spicy and appetizing. "It should be spicy."

Liu Yaru's eyes lit up and she smiled, "Then I'll make the appointment for this in-law in advance."

Rong Peilan covered her lips and laughed, "Sister, this suggestion is feasible."

Ever since Ji Yunzhang said she wanted to have a daughter, he would lie beside her belly and call her daughter every day.

What would his expression be if he knew that his daughter had been betrothed before she was born?

In the study room next door, Prince Ji, who had a solemn look on his face, suddenly sneezed twice. He had a bad feeling in his heart.

Meng Xuanyi looked at him, "Yun Zhang has a cold?"

Ji Yunzhang waved his hand, "That's not the case."

He pointed to the Records of Mountains and Rivers and continued, "If this place is just as what the book says, then there is a breakthrough in the Zhong family's unjust case five years ago."

"The railway from Pingshan County went south by water and then went back up. Although it was a detour, it avoided the danger of being discovered on the mountain road. There must be a secret passage leading to the Western Jin Dynasty."
