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

Upon hearing this, the ladies nearby also began to recount the amusing stories that had unfolded in their respective homes after discovering that the mothers were pregnant with girls.

Yue Li watched silently and discovered that the other ladies who were pregnant with daughters, including Lian Xinran and Yin Xiyue, had all taken her daughter-giving pills on the day of her wedding banquet.

However, not all the people present were there at the time, and it is unknown what happened to the others.

What Yue Li didn't expect was that one of the ladies was pregnant with the child of her pet. So after discovering that the baby was a girl, the pet that she had been raising was officially promoted to the official position.

This led everyone to joke that the little pet raised by this lady must have accumulated good fortune over hundreds of years, as not only would it have a daughter in the family, but it would also gain status through its daughter, directly becoming the lady's official husband.

Yan Jinhui and Li Huan'er were also invited by Lian Xinran today. Li Huan'er's wedding banquet is two months later than Yan Jinhui's. Although she did not attend, she had instructed someone to send her a congratulatory gift in advance.

Both women were pregnant at the time, and they had already consulted a doctor who confirmed that they were both carrying boys. However, since this was their first pregnancy, although they envied Lian Xinran and the other woman who were carrying girls, they also had great expectations for the children in their wombs.

Amidst the laughter and chatter, they began to invite Yue Li to the baby's one-month celebration after they gave birth.

Yue Li is now hailed as the luckiest person in Kyoto, after all, no one else has ever given birth to twins, a boy and a girl, on their first pregnancy.

Although the wives present who were pregnant with girls didn't say it aloud, they had some guesses in their hearts. Except for two exceptions, all the wives who attended Yue Li's wedding banquet became pregnant at the same time after returning home, and were diagnosed with girls three months later.

With so many coincidences coming together, it's no longer a coincidence.

They had discussed it privately, saying that the two women who didn't get pregnant did so because they didn't spend the night in their husbands' rooms, while the others either spent the night making love with their husbands or with their pets.

So they all felt that Yue Li was a very lucky person. Not only did she give birth to twins, but the ladies who attended her wedding banquet also became pregnant with daughters after returning home because of her good fortune.

However, only a few of them knew about this, and they didn't spread it around. After all, if this were true, then when Yue Li held her next wedding banquet, they could let the women in her family try it out, and maybe they would actually be able to conceive a daughter.

It's almost March, and Lian Xinran and the others still have more than a month until their due dates. Yue Li didn't expect to receive an invitation so early, but she didn't give them a definite answer. After all, she didn't plan to stay in Kyoto forever. After the weather warms up in a while, she wanted to take Shao Qi and Jin Moyu to the northern grasslands that Jin Jinxuan had mentioned before for horseback riding!

So she took a sip of the warm honey water in the cup next to her, met the gazes of everyone present, and told them her plan with a smile.

Everyone nodded in agreement, saying that this was how it was for them nowadays. After giving birth, they would leave the children to be raised by their fathers. When they had free time, they would drink tea, attend banquets, and when they got tired of playing in the capital, they would take their husbands and guards to travel to other places.

One of the younger ladies stroked her pregnant belly, her eyes filled with gratitude as she looked at Yue Li. She was pregnant with her second child. She had only been able to attend the ceremony at Prince Chen's residence because she had been dragged along by the other ladies. Who knew that she would receive such a great benefit after going?

When she looked at Yue Li, her eyes gleamed, and she hesitated before saying, "The Prince Chen's son and Princess Mingzhu will be a year old soon, right? Doesn't the Princess Chen have any plans to have another child?"

Hearing this, Lian Xinran, who was sitting next to Yue Li, nodded in agreement and said, "Yes, we're going to have the baby anyway, so wouldn't it be more comfortable for us to have it sooner?"

Yue Li: ……

She just gave birth, and now someone is indirectly urging her to have another baby!

Seeing Lian Xinran's serious expression, Yue Li was now certain that Lian Xinran really didn't know that the current Crown Prince and Princess Zhaoyang were her children.

Hmm, it seems Jin Jinxuan did a good job keeping it a secret!

Yue Li smiled and echoed their words, "Yes, I think the same way you do. I've recovered my health this year and am planning to try for a baby!"

Anyway, she decided that she must go to the grasslands and have a good time for a while before thinking about getting pregnant.

Anyway, it seems that Shao Qi is not in a hurry. Moreover, after they resumed their sensual life, Jin Chenyuan, Shao Qi, and Jin Moyu all took the initiative to take contraceptive pills.

Since you've already taken the contraceptive pills, it's not too late to wait six months until the effects wear off before considering anything else.

After chatting and laughing for a while, Lian Xinran asked for everyone's opinion and had the servants bring out the mahjong set.

It's worth mentioning that ever since Yue Li gave the mahjong blueprints to Lian Xinran, not only the wives of officials in Kyoto, but even the men who accompany their wives to parties, are now thoroughly familiar with the rules of mahjong.

It can be said that thanks to Lian Xinran's promotion, mahjong has spread far and wide, not just in Kyoto.

When the ladies, who usually had nothing to do, got together, they didn't just gossip and chat; they would also touch each other's hands when they had nothing else to do.

Even at this moment, in the courtyard next to them, in the area where Shao Qi and Jin Moyu were entertaining men, they were playing mahjong.

It has to be said that mahjong is a wonderful thing. Men come here to accompany their wives. In the past, they would have to find all sorts of excuses to avoid talking about things they didn't want to say. Now, as long as they are busy shuffling the tiles and pretend to be looking at the tiles carefully and not hearing anything, the topic will naturally be left unsaid.

After visiting Lian Xinran's residence, Yue Li stayed at the palace for two more days. She looked at Jing Hao and Jing Yao, who had grown into porcelain dolls, and it was clear that, apart from their unique phoenix eyes belonging to the royal family, they resembled Yue Li in every other way.

The two little babies, who only know how to make "uh-huh" and "ah-ah" sounds, look exactly alike. Wrapped in soft blankets, it's impossible to tell which one is the older sister and which one is the younger brother.

Yue Li felt that there was no need for others to speculate too much. Once the two of them grew up and appeared in front of outsiders, everyone would know at a glance who their parents were.

However, these are not things that Yue Li needs to worry about. She should have thought of this situation when Jin Jinxuan decided to follow her.

After spending two passionate nights with Jin Jinxuan, she returned to the Yue residence and received invitations from various ladies.

Yue Li also took Jin Moyu and Shao Qi to two flower-viewing banquets, which was also a way of implying to everyone that Jin Moyu was already taken.
