With a wave of his hand, the Prince's Mansion's fortune exploded throughout the entire cap

Lady Guangping was not a Buddhist; she only vaguely remembered her mother having heard of it.

"Sister Zheng, on what day did the Laughing Buddha pass away?"

Madam Zheng was not surprised when she heard her ask, as the Dasheng royal family did not promote any particular sect; they believed in both Buddhism and Taoism.

"It is the third day of the third lunar month, an auspicious day for people to make pilgrimages to the mountains and worship Buddha, and to hold Dharma assemblies and incense offering ceremonies every year."

Lady Guangping tugged at her handkerchief and smiled somewhat stiffly, "I see."

If I had known such good fortune would come my way, I should have held a grand first birthday celebration for my youngest daughter so that everyone in the capital would know about her birthday.

Perhaps it will be her Guangping Marquis's family that climbs up to Prince Jing's mansion.

"Grandmother, Mother, I'm back."

So many pretty aunties and pretty older sisters!

[Smells good~]

[Huh? Is this our honored guest? Her scent is somewhat similar to His Highness the Crown Prince's!]

Lu Wenshu led Xiao Jingjing to the Crown Princess and said, "Qinghe, quickly pay your respects to Her Highness the Crown Princess."

"Qinghe greets Your Highness the Crown Princess. May Your Highness enjoy boundless blessings and peace."

The Crown Princess listened to the little one's somewhat clingy but clear pronunciation, and the smile in her eyes deepened.

"Qinghe, come here and let me take a look at you."

Little Jingjing looked at the Crown Princess's belly and slowly stood beside her: "Little baby."

The Crown Princess, recalling a folk tale that toddlers could see the baby in their wombs, took the little girl's hand and gently touched her own belly:

"Yes, there are babies here."

Little Jingjing nodded: "Yes, the baby is very strong~ moving around a lot."

Hmm...it looks like two babies. Should we tell Your Highness?

[It seems that my father and mother have a good relationship with the Crown Prince and Crown Princess?]

[Her Highness the Crown Princess doesn't smell unpleasant; she's not a bad person.]

Upon hearing this, Fang Yuhua instinctively said, "Your Highness, please be careful. Qinghe is still young. I'm afraid she might have injured the young prince."

Lu Wenshu chimed in, "Yes, you're carrying two babies now, and you're pregnant with another one."

When Xiao Jingjing heard her mother mention "a child," she blinked gently.

Alright, Mother Consort says so, and that's it.

Your Highness, I'm so sorry! (╯▽╰)

Seeing that Xiao Jingjing didn't seem inclined to say anything, Lu Wenshu breathed a sigh of relief.

The pulses of twins are somewhat different, and ordinary folk doctors cannot guarantee that they can tell the difference, but the head of the Imperial Medical Academy can.

The news of twins has not been released, presumably because the two princes have some reservations.

[Huh? The baby noticed me?]

[Haha, he pushed another baby aside to get in front of Jingjing!]

Wow~ Jingjing is popular with kids too!

Excitement flashed in Xiao Jingjing's eyes.

Jingjing likes this child; let Jingjing help you!

Lu Wenshu was puzzled, but she couldn't figure out what Jingjing was going to do.

Unseen by the crowd, Jingjing's magic had already entered the Crown Princess's womb.

The two children were nourished by magic.

Alright~ You were nourished by the lucky charm of a koi fish even before you were born, so you'll have good fortune throughout your life!

[This child who loves Jingjing, remember to come find Jingjing after you are born!]

The Crown Princess felt a little better and was now hungry. Hearing no sound from the front yard, she looked at Lu Wenshu:

"Princess Jing, it's getting late. Let's not wait for the men and begin the banquet."

Lu Wenshu noticed that the Crown Princess was probably a little hungry, so she nodded and told people to prepare for the meal.

【Yay, Jingjing is hungry too.】

"Your Highness, Qinghe will return to her seat now."

When the Crown Princess saw the little girl bowing to her, she beckoned to her, "Qinghe, come here a little."

Little Jingjing looked slightly confused: "Huh?"

The Crown Princess chuckled as she looked at Qinghe's bewildered expression and tilted head slightly, "Qinghe, do you like beads?"

Little Jingjing remembered the pearl hair ornament she was wearing and nodded, "I like it~ The pearls are pretty (♥∀♥)"

Upon hearing this answer, the Crown Princess nodded in satisfaction: "I like it too. The pearl hairpin in Jingjing's hair is very beautiful and suits my taste perfectly. It seems we are destined to meet. In that case, I will give you this phoenix hairpin with pearls in its beaded ornament."

Lu Wenshu's heart trembled slightly when she saw the thumb-sized pearl on the hairpin.

Although she had been rewarded with this pearl, when had a pearl of this size ever left the royal family?

Even the Imperial Concubine might not have that.

"Your Highness..."

The Crown Princess placed the gold hairpin in Xiao Jingjing's hair, saying, "Shu'er, I think this suits the child perfectly. What do you all think?"

As she spoke, the Crown Princess glanced at everyone present with a smile.

She knew that ever since the child came to the Prince's mansion, Prince Jing's adopted son, who was always sick, had never seen a doctor again.

Judging from the attitude of Prince Jing and Princess Jing, this child must be extraordinary and have exceptional qualities.

Madam Ning smiled and replied, "Miss Qinghe is innocent and warm-hearted, with impeccable manners. She is a pearl in herself, and this hairpin complements her perfectly."

Madam Yuan, the Minister of War, said through gritted teeth, "To be pleasing to His Highness is naturally a good match."

Madam Yuan's eyes held a hint of hatred. She was originally one of the few noble ladies in the capital who possessed pearls, but now she was being trampled underfoot by a mere young girl.

How ridiculous.

He could have argued that although he possessed a small number of pearls, they were the only ones in his family who did not hold a noble title.

The Crown Princess gave the Eastern Pearl to a child she had just met; wasn't that clearly a way of supporting Prince Jing's mansion?

Little Jingjing was still immersed in the happiness of wearing the big bead on her head, oblivious to the stiff smiles on the faces of the many guests around her.

That phoenix-shaped hairpin with a pearl in its beak was like a slap in the face to everyone who had become close to the Prince Jing after the upheaval at his residence.

Lu Wenshu also took this opportunity to glance around at the ladies whose faces were not good, and sneered inwardly.

She has kept meticulous records of all the social interactions over the past few years, including New Year's gifts and Mid-Autumn Festival gifts. She remembers clearly which families stopped giving gifts three years ago, and which families gave gifts that ordinary families wouldn't make a mistake.

Several families, unrelated to what happened back then, have already been demoted by Ayan for other wrongdoings.

As for the few families whose involvement has not yet been clarified, all their dirty deeds are recorded and can be handed over to the censors for impeachment at any time. Every single case is fair and just.

As for those who might have been promoted, they were impeached by the censors because of some of the mistakes they revealed, and were unable to be promoted, remaining in their original positions.

Little Jingjing raised her hand and touched the bead, then looked happily at the smiling Crown Princess.

Jingjing likes this bead, and she also likes Her Highness the Crown Princess~

"Your Highness, since you gave me this bead, Jingjing will help you out~"

[Bad guys, bad guys stay away! Good luck, good luck abounds!]

Little Jingjing nodded as she looked at the Crown Princess's enhanced good fortune.

After the banquet, only Marquis Xuanping, Princess Mingzhu, and the Lu family remained at Fulu Academy.

"Jingjing, you haven't rested yet today. Would you like to take a nap?"

Little Jingjing shook her head: "No, no~ Mother, Jingjing wants to play with her sister~"

Lu Wenshu looked at Xiao Jingjing immediately hugging her cousin Fang Yuchan with a helpless expression: "Jingjing, you're not allowed to hug other people. Look, your sister's dress is all wrinkled."

She had been worried all afternoon that the child would suddenly hug the Crown Princess.

Little Jingjing looked up at Fang Yuchan and asked, "Sister Chan'er~ Don't you like Jingjing?"
