The regent is determined to get the daughter of a minor official.

Chapter 193 Full Moon Banquet

Chu Musheng returned to the palace.

Just as the Empress Dowager said, she first took a bath and changed her clothes before going to Xu Ke's bedroom.

Xu Ke smelled his fragrant scent and said enviously.

"Your Highness, you smell so good. I haven't washed myself properly in a few days.

I just wipe it with a hot towel every day, and can you wash my hair?"

Chu Musheng came over and smelled her, then hugged her and said.

"It's okay, my beloved concubine can't wash her hair or take a bath during the confinement period. Just bear with it and it will pass. This prince doesn't mind."

Xu Keke sniffed her hair and frowned.

"Your Highness, if you dislike it, you don't have to come. But I can't avoid it myself. It's almost too uncomfortable."

Chu Musheng smiled helplessly.

"This is all for your own good. If you catch a cold during the confinement period, it will be bad if you develop a chronic illness."

"But I really can't stand it anymore. My whole body is itchy."

Chu Musheng leaned close to her ear and whispered.

"Would you mind if I wipe you twice more with a hot towel tonight?"

Xu Keke didn't know what she was thinking about, her face turned red, and she hugged Chu Musheng's neck and nodded.

"Well then, I will obey your Majesty."

Chu Musheng kissed her forehead.

"That's good. Your first priority now is to take good care of yourself and give birth to another little princess for me."

Xu Ke glared at him.

"No, ever since I became pregnant with Xuan'er, I haven't been able to go anywhere for nearly a year. It's too restrictive."

"Oh? My beloved concubine has already married this prince. If you want to go anywhere, even if you want to go, you must go with this prince."

As the two were talking, the wet nurse came in holding the little prince.

Chu Musheng quickly took the child and teased him, liking him more and more the more he looked at him.

"My son Xuan'er has grown up a little."

Xu Keke looked at the father and son with a happy smile on his face.

Suddenly, I remembered that Chu Musheng said that the little emperor in the palace was sick.

So he pulled Chu Musheng aside and asked.

"Your Highness, how seriously ill is the little emperor in the palace?"

Chu Musheng replied while teasing the child:

"He shouldn't be seriously injured. The Empress Dowager and the imperial physicians are taking good care of him, and the people serving him are reliable."

Xu Ke breathed a sigh of relief, thinking that the little emperor was still so young and had no parental care.

Even sitting on the dragon throne is just a decoration.

"That's good. If you have time, Your Highness, please pay more attention to the little emperor. After all, he is your nephew."

Chu Musheng nodded thoughtfully.

"Yes, that's why I set strict standards for him, hoping that he can become a wise ruler soon. But now it seems that I am afraid that too much is as bad as too little."

Xu Keke took the child from his hands and kissed the child on the face.

The child stared at Xu Ke with his dark eyes.

Xu Keke's heart was melted by this.

"Your Highness, look at Xuan'er's eyes. They look so much like you."

Xu Ke said with a smile.

Chu Musheng came over and looked at the child with a face full of love.

"My son naturally looks like me."

Xu Keke gently rocked the child in her arms and turned to look at Chu Musheng.

"Your Highness, I heard that the Empress Dowager also sent a gift to our Xuan'er?"

The gifts they brought back from the palace were given by Sheng Er to Ding Dang and An Xiang, the maids who served the princess.

They must have told the princess.

Chu Musheng did not describe the gifts sent by the Empress Dowager, but just nodded.

"I have already instructed that before Xuan'er's full moon, Prince Sheng's Mansion will refuse to receive any visitors. Princess, you can rest and recuperate peacefully!"

Xu Ke didn't object.

Her sister Xuanyunduo and cousin Su Yan all went through this.

My mother also told me many things to pay attention to during the confinement period.

At this time, the child made babbling sounds, as if expressing something.

Xu Ke was surprised.

"Your Highness, listen, Xuan'er seems to be talking."

Chu Musheng was also amused by this scene.

"This little guy must be saying hello to us."

......

The little emperor in the palace was ill for several days.

Chu Musheng went to the palace every day to handle government affairs and visit the little emperor.

Xu Keke had Dingdang, Anxiang and Nanny Wang by her side, so she didn't find the confinement period difficult.

Especially the little prince doesn't make any noise. He goes to sleep quietly after eating and drinking.

Occasionally, I open my eyes and look at the people around me.

Nanny Wang couldn't let go of this little prince.

If she didn't have to prepare for the little prince's full moon banquet, she would have wanted to be by the little prince's cradle all the time.

The same goes for Dingdang and Anxiang.

Whenever she has free time, she will go to the cradle and tease the little one with a happy smile on her face.

Xu Keke looked at these heartwarming scenes, her heart filled with sweetness and happiness.

After having her child, she felt truly part of the world.

It's about loving your family and loving your husband.

It is rare to live in such a deep courtyard and lead such a warm life.

Preparations for the full moon banquet are in full swing.

The servants in the mansion were busy shuttling between the courtyards, and the houses were decorated with lights and colorful lanterns, making the place very lively.

Although Nanny Wang was concerned about the young prince, she did not dare to be careless in the preparations.

She carefully selected the ingredients and supervised the servants to clean the yard and prepare the banquet.

Dingdang and Anxiang were also busy. They helped prepare the clothes and accessories needed for the little prince's full moon banquet.

Those small and exquisite clothes are embroidered with auspicious patterns, and every stitch and thread contains deep blessings for the little prince.

As Chu Musheng had promised, he would stay with Xu Keke every night no matter how busy he was with government affairs.

Finally, the day of the full moon banquet arrived.

The gates of Prince Sheng's mansion were wide open, the palace was decorated with lights and colorful lanterns, and the house was filled with guests.

There was constant laughter and the lively scene was dazzling.

Male and female guests were received separately in the front yard, and the arrangements were well organized.

Xu Keke was carefully served by the maids early in the morning, and she washed and dressed in an extremely gorgeous palace dress.

Over the past month, she has been well taken care of by everyone in the mansion. Her skin is as white as jade, with a hint of redness like peach blossoms.

Her figure, which had originally become a little plump due to pregnancy, has now regained its graceful and graceful appearance before pregnancy.

Every gesture reveals elegance.

When most of the guests arrived, Regent Chu Musheng came in dressed in gorgeous clothes, looking very noble.

He brought his princess Xu Keke and the newborn baby to the hall where the female guests were entertained.

The little guy was held in Xu Keke's arms, with his big round eyes open, looking at everything around him curiously.

It looks so cute that people can't help but want to get close to it.

When everyone saw them coming, they stood up and gave them blessings and gifts, and Xu Keke smiled politely.

He nodded in response one by one, and his gentle and generous appearance won praise from everyone present.
