The Emperor, with more men than women, made me his mistress.

After the imperial edict was read aloud, it was time for toasts and drinks.

Jin Jinxuan was especially happy today, and he politely drank a sip of wine no matter who offered it to him.

Jin Jinxuan's attitude made the atmosphere at the full moon banquet even more lively.

In the center of the main hall, the sounds of string and wind instruments and singing and dancing continued to play.

The Empress Dowager was not in the mood to stay at the banquet any longer, so she had someone take Jinrui and Jinyu, as well as Jinghao and Jingyao, who had just turned one month old that day, to Shou Kang Palace.

Yue Li secretly poured a cup of peach blossom wine from the wine pot that Jin Chenyuan had taken away. Under Jin Chenyuan's disapproving gaze, she took a small sip, and her eyebrows and eyes instantly relaxed.

Since discovering she was pregnant, she hasn't tasted a drop of alcohol, even though she's not a big drinker and loves to drink. She also enjoys the feeling of being tipsy and intoxicated by sweet wine.

Besides, let alone the fact that she recovered on the day of childbirth after taking the elixir, she is now more than a month pregnant. What's wrong with drinking some sweet wine?

She took another sip of the peach blossom wine in her cup. The delicate fragrance of peach blossoms mixed with the mellow aroma of the wine filled her mouth. Ignoring the disapproving glances that Jin Chenyuan kept giving her, Yue Li pretended that he didn't exist.

When she looked up, she met the gaze of Jin Moyu, who was sitting opposite her in the Prince Xian's residence. Yue Li smiled at him and raised the wine cup in her hand.

Jin Moyu looked at the person opposite him, who was smiling with her eyes crinkling like stars, and whose red lips were moist and alluring because of the peach blossom wine. Her heart pounded wildly.

Controlling his somewhat out-of-control emotions, Jin Moyu raised the wine glass next to him and gestured towards Yue Li, then revealed a genuine smile.

Looking at that handsome face with its devilish charm and the allure of a beauty that could bring ruin to a country, and those captivating, wicked eyes, Yue Li couldn't help but sigh at her good fortune with such a man.

Didn't you see that the ladies present would unconsciously cast their gazes at Jin Moyu? It's clear that even if he sits still and doesn't give anyone a second glance, his wicked eyes, capable of leading people astray, can still stir people's hearts.

Moreover, Jin Moyu is now of marriageable age, and their relationship has not been made public. All the women of his age in the capital are already married. When she arrived, she vaguely heard from the whispered conversations of the wives of officials that many of them, who were older than Jin Moyu, had taken a liking to him and even said they wanted to send someone they knew to the Prince Xian's residence to sound him out.

This situation is quite common here. If a lady or young woman takes a fancy to a man, she will first ask someone she knows to sound him out. If the man is also interested in marriage, after both sides have communicated, the man's family will send someone to the woman's family to mediate. If the man is not interested, the matter will be treated as if it never happened.

The woman is unlikely to cling to him like she did in the novels she read before. After all, if this man isn't good enough, she can find someone else. There are so many men in the world for her to choose from, so there's no need to hang herself on one tree.

Of course, in this day and age, there are plenty of men on the street, and they would love to be noticed by a woman, so in most cases they would not refuse.

When Yue Li saw the joy that flashed in Jin Moyu's eyes the moment they met, she was thinking about when to take him to some banquets, so that Jin Moyu's status as her person could be confirmed.

Otherwise, she would have already taken advantage of him. Now, not only can she not give him a title, but she also needs to let others know that he is hers, so that they will stop coveting him and go look for other men instead!

Since Jin Moyu returned from Linjiang City during the Spring Festival, she has been staying in the capital. However, she was busy with her pregnancy and childbirth and stayed in the palace. The two of them had not met many times. Each time they met, they only exchanged a few words and she did not ask him how long he would stay in the capital. Perhaps after a while, when the ladies of the capital hold various banquets, she can take him to attend.

As for Gong Hanmo, after he and Jin Moyu returned to attend her wedding banquet, they immediately went back to Linjiang City. He hasn't come back yet, but he has sent her many messages using spirit paper cranes.

The full moon celebration held for the Crown Prince and Princess Zhaoyang has been the talk of the town for a long time. However, what everyone is more curious about is who the Crown Prince and Princess Zhaoyang's biological mother is.

People kept speculating behind the scenes. Even if someone discussed it to their face, those who knew the truth couldn't tell the truth and could only try their best to keep quiet. This made it very difficult for those who knew the truth to bear it.

After all, it must be so painful not to tell others such a big piece of gossip!

Today is the day Yue Li is invited by Lian Xinran to meet at her residence.

The weather was still a bit cold, and there was a chilly wind as soon as you went outside. However, compared to the biting cold wind before, it was much milder. Even so, Yue Li was not in the mood to go out for fun. She planned to wait until the weather was warmer before setting off. So when she received Lian Xinran's invitation, she excitedly took Shao Qi and Jin Moyu to Lian Xinran's residence.

Yes, after attending Jinghao and Jingyao's full moon celebration, Jin Moyu went to the Yue residence within two days. With the consent of Jin Chenyuan and Shao Qi, she also moved into the Yue residence.

From then on, Yue Li lived a life of taking turns staying in three courtyards and having three handsome men take turns warming her bed.

After arriving at Princess Lian Xinran's residence by carriage, Shao Qi and Jin Moyu were naturally invited into the area for entertaining men.

Yue Li followed the servant who was leading the way to the hall where several ladies had already gathered.

Looking at Lian Xinran and Yin Xiyue, who were both heavily pregnant, and the other three ladies, Yue Li raised her eyebrows imperceptibly, a smile playing on her lips, and teased, "You've gathered all the women who are about to have children together, and they're all heavily pregnant. Inviting me here is redundant; my belly isn't big enough to show right now."

Seeing that they turned around to greet her after hearing her words, Yue Li quickly waved her hand and stepped forward to support Lian Xinran and Yin Xiyue's arms, saying, "No need to get up, sit down quickly. There are no outsiders here, so there's no need for so much formality. Besides, you're both carrying gold nuggets in your bellies now, so you have to be careful."

Yue Li's words made everyone laugh, but they still gave Yue Li a slight curtsy before returning to their seats.

Lian Xinran touched her belly and smiled with satisfaction. "Isn't this a golden nugget? I never thought I would be able to have a girl in my life. When I found out I was pregnant, I didn't care much. After all, I had one boy after another. I was tired of giving birth to boys. But after three months, I found out it was a girl. Oh my god, I was so happy. Amu was so happy that he couldn't sleep for several nights."

As she spoke, even Xinran herself laughed, the handkerchief in her hand swaying back and forth with her laughter.

Bai Chenmu is Lian Xinran's husband. The two already have a son, who is Lian Xinran's first child and is 14 years old this year. Unexpectedly, she suddenly became pregnant again, and it was a girl. This made Bai Chenmu's status in Lian Xinran's heart rise sharply.

Indeed, in such a world, a husband who can give birth to a daughter will hold a higher place in his wife's heart than other husbands.
