Shocking! Five men are in love with the same woman!

Then, they happily began to raise their glasses in celebration.

Laughter and cheerful voices filled the air, creating a joyful melody.

Everyone's face was beaming with joy, and their eyes sparkled with excitement.

They sat together, chatting and laughing, having a lively and pleasant time.

The crisp laughter echoed in the room like silver bells, creating a warm and enchanting atmosphere.

The topics came one after another, ranging from trivial matters of life to aspirations for the future, covering everything.

During this process, Lingyan noticed that Xie Zhiyi had not drunk a single drop of alcohol all day.

Her eyes were full of doubt, and then she turned to her with a question in her eyes.

Xie Zhiyi noticed Ling Yan's confusion, and smiled slightly, her eyes revealing a hint of tenderness.

Without any hesitation, she replied frankly, "I am pregnant, I'm two months along."

Her voice was soft yet firm, as if she were announcing a precious secret.

Upon hearing this, everyone was very happy for her and looked at her with smiles.

Their eyes were filled with blessings and joy, as if they saw hope for the future.

At this moment, the air seemed to be filled with an atmosphere of happiness.

Ling Yan then smiled and said, "This is truly wonderful news! Today is a double celebration!"

No wonder the Ninth Prince was so worried and nervous when she saw Xie Zhiyi parading through the streets on horseback yesterday.

It turned out to be the case.

The group was in even better spirits because of the happy news, and they continued to chat and laugh.

Time passed quietly amidst laughter and chatter, and the group only parted ways as night fell.

…………

After the Deer Cry Banquet, Xie Zhiyi was officially granted an official position and entered the Hanlin Academy as a sixth-rank official.

The other successful candidates were also assigned suitable positions.

Some stayed in Beijing, while others were assigned to other posts.

Like sparks, they are scattered in every corner, working together for the prosperity of this country.

Meanwhile, the 100-day celebration for the eighth princess's child was slowly beginning, like a grand celebration.

The Eighth Princess did not hold a full moon banquet before because Lingyan, the Ninth Princess, and Jiang Muxue had not yet returned to the capital. Naturally, she did not want her three friends to miss such an important moment.

So she decided not to hold a full moon celebration and planned to hold a grand and solemn 100-day celebration after the three of them returned to the capital.

The Eighth Princess had been meticulously preparing for this 100-day celebration for a long time.

The banquet was held at the Eighth Princess's residence. The gate was decorated with lanterns and colorful streamers, with bright red lanterns hanging high and festive ribbons fluttering gently in the breeze, as if warmly waving to every guest.

Upon entering the mansion, one can see meticulously arranged decorations everywhere.

In the courtyard, pots of vibrant flowers were displayed, their colorful blossoms vying for attention and releasing a captivating fragrance.

The green trees were decorated with sparkling ribbons and delicate ornaments, shimmering brilliantly in the sunlight.

Walking along the cobblestone path, we arrived at the hall where the banquet was being held.

The hall was spacious and bright, with a magnificent crystal chandelier hanging from the high ceiling, its dazzling light spilling into every corner.

The floor was covered with a thick, luxurious carpet that was soft and comfortable, making one feel as if they were walking on clouds.

The walls are adorned with exquisite calligraphy and paintings, as well as auspicious tapestries, adding a rich cultural atmosphere to the entire hall.

The long banquet table was laden with all sorts of delicious dishes.

The exquisite tableware was arranged neatly, and the silver tableware gleamed with a dazzling light.

The delicious dishes exude an enticing aroma, including tender and juicy roasted meats, seafood with excellent color, aroma, and taste, and exquisite and delicious pastries, making one's mouth water.

A small stage was also set up in one corner of the hall.

Various musical instruments were set up on the stage, and the musicians were ready to play beautiful music for the guests at any time.

There was also a group of dancers nearby, dressed in colorful costumes, ready to present a wonderful dance performance for everyone at the right time.

The entire Eighth Princess's residence was immersed in a joyful and festive atmosphere, awaiting the arrival of guests to celebrate this special day together.

Before noon, a line of magnificent carriages slowly drove up.

The crisp sound of horses' hooves striking the ground seemed to be playing a cheerful welcoming tune.

The first to arrive were the royal family members.

The carriages, adorned with gold and silver trim, gleamed dazzlingly in the sunlight.

Following closely behind were the court officials and their families.

Then, the Eighth Princess's relatives and friends arrived one after another.

The gates of the Eighth Princess's residence were already filled with servants to welcome the guests.

Dressed in neat uniforms, they respectfully greeted each arriving guest.

As guests approach, attendants quickly step forward, take the gifts from their hands, and lead them into the mansion.

Lingyan and Xiao Muyao arrived very early today, as did other close relatives.

Lingyan had just arrived at the hall where the women were resting, and before she even stepped across the threshold, she unexpectedly bumped into two little ones.

In that instant, time seemed to slow down, and the air was filled with an unexpected surprise and warmth.

Two tiny figures suddenly appeared in her sight, instantly melting her heart.

Their eyes were bright and clear, like twinkling stars, full of curiosity and innocence.

Upon seeing this, the two men quickly and crisply bowed to her and greeted her, saying, "Greetings, Sixth Aunt."

That innocent voice, like heavenly music, echoed in the air, bringing joy to everyone.

Lingyan was completely charmed by the two of them, and a bright smile immediately bloomed on her face, her eyes filled with tenderness and love.

The two children, one five years old and the other three, bowed to her so earnestly; it was simply adorable.

They stood straight with their small bodies, their little hands slightly clenched into fists at their sides, their expressions serious and solemn.

The five-year-old boy was wearing a light blue robe.

Her hair was neatly combed, and her eyes revealed a hint of intelligence and courage.

And the three-year-old girl was wearing a pink dress.

She had two cute little braids in her hair, making her look playful and lively.

Her eyes are round and bright, like two black gems; she's incredibly cute.

That's right, one of the two is Yingying, the three-year-old daughter of the Seventh Princess.

Yingying is just like a beautifully carved little doll.

Her bright and clear eyes seemed to hold countless tiny stars, twinkling with innocent light.

Her eyebrows were thin and curved, like two light willow leaves, adding a touch of softness to her round face.

She wore a pink dress with delicate floral embroidery on the hem, and the layers of tulle made her look like a little princess.

Her little face was rosy, and when she smiled, two dimples appeared, making her sweet and lovely.

She was like the most beautiful flower in spring, exuding an aura of innocence and romance.

She's like a little angel, making you want to hug her.

One of them is Qi'er, the son of the Fourth Prince and Zeng Qi.

He was very handsome and cute, with a pair of big, bright, and deep eyes, like clear lake water, revealing intelligence and liveliness.

His eyebrows, like crescent moons, were light in color but beautifully shaped, adding a touch of heroic spirit to his delicate face.

Her small, slightly upturned nose gave her a playful look.

Those rosy lips always turned up slightly, revealing a bright smile that made people feel happy just looking at them.

He was like a little sun, radiating warmth and hope.
