Jiang Wange also felt that she had established the character of the favorite concubine so firmly by accident.

After changing clothes, Qianyue changed Jiang Wange's hairstyle and tied all her hair up, leaving no strands of hair loose, revealing her entire little face.

"My lady is so beautiful."

No matter how many times Qianyue had seen it, she would always sigh like this after finishing dressing Jiang Wange.

"Your craftsmanship is good."

Jiang Wange was also very satisfied with her hairstyle today and felt that Qianyue was becoming more and more skillful.

"If I were to say, your Majesty is beautiful, and Qianyue's craftsmanship is top-notch."

Yu Jin covered her mouth and laughed, and then was given a coquettish look by Jiang Wange.

"Only you can talk."

Xiahou Xuan had long been accustomed to the laughter and playfulness between Jiang Wange and the palace maids, and he actually found it quite interesting just sitting aside and watching.

"It's almost time. We should take Tuantuan to the full moon banquet."

Seeing that it was almost time, Xiahou Xuan reminded Jiang Wange to stop playing with the palace maids and that it was time to set off with him.

Hearing this, Jiang Wange slowly stood up, walked to Xiahou Xuan's side, and went towards Xianghe Palace together.

There were already many ministers and their wives sitting in the Xianghe Palace, making it quite lively.

Jiang Huaiyuan hadn't seen Jiang Wange for a long time and missed her. When he saw Jiang Wanyi attending with a big belly, he couldn't help but show more concern:

"You are already pregnant, why are you still out and about? How does Wen Yilan take care of you?"

Jiang Huaiyuan's eyes were full of disapproval.

"Dad, don't blame me, it was my daughter who insisted on coming to the banquet. I haven't seen my sister for a long time, and I want to take this opportunity to see her and the eldest prince, and then I can stay at home and wait for the birth of my baby."

Jiang Wanyi said very embarrassedly.

Hearing this, Jiang Huaiyuan didn't know what to say, so he just agreed with what she had just said.

After a while, Wen Yilan also came over, put one hand on Jiang Wanyi's back, and hugged her tightly.

"My son-in-law has met my father-in-law."

"There will be many people at the full moon banquet, so you have to take good care of Xiaoyi. She is pregnant now."

"Following my father-in-law's instructions, I will always take care of Xiaoyi."

Wen Yilan made the promise to Jiang Huaiyuan very seriously. His attitude made Jiang Huaiyuan very satisfied, so he didn't say anything else.

Concubine Shu, Concubine Chen and others have also arrived. The Queen Mother is ill today and cannot attend the eldest prince's full moon banquet, so she asked Concubine Shu to deliver the full moon gift.

Under the expectant gazes of the crowd, Xiahou Xuan and Jiang Wange appeared in front of everyone, followed by the wet nurse and the eldest prince in her arms.

Everyone wanted to stick their heads out to see what the eldest prince looked like. He must look a lot like Your Majesty, right?

"Your Majesty has arrived, Concubine Xihui has arrived—"

"Your Majesty, I pay my respects to you. Long live Your Majesty. May your Majesty live long and long. May Concubine Xi Hui live a thousand years in good health—"

After saying that, everyone kowtowed to Xiahou Xuan and Jiang Wange.

After Xiahou Xuan helped Jiang Wange to take her seat, he allowed the court officials and female relatives to stand up.

"My dear ministers, please stand up. Today is the eldest prince's full moon banquet. You don't have to be restrained. Please stand up and take your seats."

"Thank you, Your Majesty——"

Xiahou Xuan's tone was cheerful, and one could tell from his voice that he was very happy today.

"play music--"

With Haidezi's loud singing, the singing and dancing performance began, and the court officials could start to eat.

At this time, Concubine Shu walked over with a small box.

"I pay my respects to His Majesty and to Concubine Xihui."

"Sister Shufei is well."

Concubine Shu and Jiang Wange greeted each other, and Jiang Wange naturally had to respond.

"This is the full-month gift that the Queen Mother asked me to give to the eldest prince. The Queen Mother is ill today, so she was unable to attend the eldest prince's full-month banquet. I hope Sister Xihuifei will not mind."

After saying that, he handed over the full-moon gift sent by the Queen Mother.

Jiang Wange took the wooden box with a smile. Inside was a small golden lock that looked very delicate and cute.

"I'm sorry for the Queen Mother's concern. She's not feeling well but is still thinking about the Crown Prince's full moon banquet. Is the Queen Mother in any serious condition?"

"Sister Xihuifei is worried. The Queen Mother has been in poor health since... but it's nothing serious. Maybe she will be fine after another month or so of rest." Concubine Shu answered Jiang Wange's question with a smile.

Hearing this, Jiang Wange smiled softly and said nothing more.

With Concubine Shu taking the lead, other concubines also began to offer gifts.

"This is a peace locket that I ordered someone to make. It symbolizes peace and safety. It is a perfect gift for the eldest prince."

The Concubine Chen handed over a small and exquisite box, inside of which was a peace locket. The jade was crystal clear and it was obviously of top quality.

"Sister Chen Fei is very thoughtful. On behalf of the eldest prince, I would like to thank Sister Chen Fei for her kindness."

"You're welcome, sister."

After the concubines presented their gifts, it was the turn of the female relatives.

The gifts they gave were of various kinds, but basically they were all things that children could use.

When it was Jiang Wanyi's turn to present a gift, everyone's eyes were on her big belly.

They all heard that Concubine Xi Hui had a younger sister who married the head of the Imperial Medical Bureau and was now pregnant. She must be this one.

"I, your humble servant Wen Jiang, present a gift to the Crown Prince. Both you and your husband are medical students, so we specially made this pair of poison-proof chopsticks. As long as the poison is not rare or hard to detect, this pair of chopsticks can identify it."

Jiang Wange was very surprised when he heard what Jiang Wanyi said.

"Mrs. Wen is very thoughtful. I believe she put a lot of thought into it. I like this gift very much."

Jiang Wange showed a sincere smile. The gift given by Jiang Wanyi was the most practical one and also very suitable for Jiang Wange and the eldest prince now.

Everyone knows that this is His Majesty's first prince, and Concubine Xihui is His Majesty's favorite concubine. There must be many people in the harem who regard mother and son as thorns in their eyes.

Many people showed regretful expressions:

Why didn't they think of giving something like this?

After the gift-giving ceremony was over, Xiahou Xuan announced the name of the eldest prince and wrote the name 'Xiahou Junye' into the family tree.

When everyone heard that the eldest prince's name was this, they kept thinking:

"Jun" refers to noble character and also means king; "Ye" means bright and glorious. Together, doesn't this imply that the eldest prince has a bright and glorious background and is very likely to ascend the throne?

When they thought of this possibility, everyone was shocked:

Concubine Xi Hui will probably become the queen in the future! And the eldest prince will most likely be made the crown prince!

Xia Qingyuan's face turned even more gloomy after hearing Xiahou Xuan announce the name of the eldest prince.

Oh, how can a son born to a lowly woman be given such a name? Your Majesty, aren't you afraid that this child will shorten his life?

As the full moon ceremony came to an end, the atmosphere on the scene became more relaxed and harmonious, and many female relatives wanted to come forward to take a look at the eldest prince.

Jiang Wange asked the wet nurse to hold Tuantuan firmly, and then let the other women watch her give birth to the baby.
