Chapter 1811 – Urgent News at the Full Moon Banquet
Fast-forwarding is not an option, never will be; I can only tease the Old Commander for now so that I won’t face losses later.
Jiang Pengji was careening on the edge of madness, each day following her regular routine: playing with her daughters in the morning, working in the afternoon, and sleeping at night.
Sadly, the twins were on a different sleep schedule than Jiang Pengji. While she was full of energy, they were snoozing away.
The older twin, Jiang Lian, was only interested in eating, drinking, and sleeping. Even when bullied, she wouldn’t cry but only pouted, her personality quite serene.
The younger twin was another story; at first, Jiang Pengji could manage her, but soon she fought back.
For example, when Jiang Pengji playfully messed with her diaper, the moment she leaned in, the little one kicked her right in the nose.
Jiang Pengji smirked, “Oh dear, is it that the formula isn’t giving you enough strength? That kick hardly had any power, just a little tickle, right?”
The younger one looked at Jiang Pengji with eyes as piercing as death itself.
Since the twins were born, Jiang Pengji’s standing in the livestream had plummeted.
She was dubbed “Jiang the Big Pig Hoof” while the two little troublemakers were referred to as “Princess Lian” and “Princess Yan.”
Because of their constant back-and-forth and the younger twin’s intimidating gaze, she became a rising star in the realm of meme expressions.
[Stowaway Non-Money]: The gaze of my Princess Yan is so sharp! This is the aura of a queen—no need for big gold chains, sunglasses, or cigars to radiate the aura of a boss! Princess Lian is an ethereal soft girl, so cute and squishy, I just want to hug her!
[Three Nuts Snacks]: Looking at the two princesses makes me want to have kids myself. But then I remember these princesses are the divine babies of other people, so I’ll chill. To have such high-quality kids, I need to find a man god as outstanding as Wei Ci!
[Liang Ping Snacks]: Seriously, are you that self-involved? Do you think you can compete with Jiang the Big Pig Hoof?
To have babies as cute and smart as the princesses, one must first measure up to Jiang the Big Pig Hoof, and the man must be at the level of Wei Ci!
[Bluetooth Mouse is the Best]: Speaking of which, just the other day I stumbled upon a video that shamelessly infringed on the princesses’ likeness rights, using them as video material. I was furious! I instantly reported it and set up a new account to continue the reports!
[The Era of the Gods]: I can already imagine fifteen years from now, gentle soft-girl Princess Lian and boss-lady Princess Yan ruling the world!
Jiang Pengji looked at these bullet comments, speechless as the salty viewers unanimously categorized the older twin Jiang Lian as a soft girl. Did they have some misunderstanding about the upbringing in the Old Jiang family?
Soft girl?
Impossible!
No matter how soft the exterior, inside they’re fierce rivals, taking on hundreds in fights—how could they be soft girls?
Besides, with the Old Commander as such a “sister,” Jiang Pengji was worried if the eldest daughter would turn out too forceful.
It turned out Jiang Pengji’s worries were not without reason.
The two kids were twins, and to outsiders, they seemed weaker compared to single-born babies, so they didn’t make a grand affair for their washing ceremony, just a simple affair. After a month of growth, the two kids looked adorably lovely like jade; of course, the full moon banquet needed to be grand!
At the same time, this was also the twins’ first formal introduction to the world.
Feng Zhen and others saw the two princesses with their different yet equally charming and healthy appearances, and their hearts melted.
People said that Princess Lian’s crying at birth was as loud as thunder, and it was clear she was extraordinary; now seeing her, she exuded noble vibes.
Being the eldest daughter and bestowed with the meaningful name “Lian,” everyone understood Jiang Pengji’s feelings towards her.
In contrast, the younger daughter “Jiang Yan” received far less attention, which she didn’t mind at all.
As praises poured in, the eldest, being oblivious, was lucky. If she understood, she’d be absolutely swamped in flattery!
The little intruder—
Who touched the lonely one’s milk bottle?!
The Old Commander’s gaze turned fierce, shifting from holding the bottle with one hand to cradling it with both hands, shooting daggers with her eyes.
Feng Zhen sheepishly withdrew his hand, merely curious about the transparent bottle and its contents.
Inside was a milky white liquid that didn’t smell fishy like a wet nurse’s milk but was sweet and pleasantly fragrant.
Seeing Princess Yan’s tiny mouth joyfully sucking away, Feng Zhen’s curiosity was uncontrollable.
He wanted to know what this milk was, so he stretched out his guilty paw.
Looking around and seeing no one paying attention, he swiftly snatched the Old Commander’s milk bottle, poured a little into his cup, and returned the bottle. Feng Zhen thought he was being sneaky, not realizing the milk bottle owner’s gaze had turned dangerously threatening.
Feng Zhen tasted it and said, “Not as sweet as I imagined, but definitely fragrant.”
The Old Commander: “…”
How could a scoundrel like this steal even the milk of a one-month-old? Is this the quality of people under Jiang Pengji?
Lost in thought, the Old Commander gulped down her milk faster.
Who knows how long this full moon banquet will drag on? If Feng Zhen steals her milk again, will she be laughed at by Jiang Pengji?
Will she be mocked for being a useless person who can’t even protect her own food?
She drank eagerly, forgetting the difference between a baby’s and an adult’s body, soon feeling the familiar bloated sensation in her stomach.
Full now.
She tossed the bottle aside and reached out to Feng Zhen, wanting a hug.
Scoundrel, help me burp!
Feng Zhen, being a man with two sons, understood that a baby needs a pat to burp after drinking, and he didn’t refuse.
“Thank you, Your Highness, for your affection.”
As the Old Commander’s hand patted his face, Feng Zhen thought the child was growing fond of him.
The Old Commander: “…”
No, I just wanted to hit you, the one who stole my food!
The Old Commander deeply realized how inconvenient a baby’s body could be, and before long, she fell asleep.
Perhaps it was the twin connection; as one became drowsy, so did the other, with both looking sleepily adorable.
However, the Old Commander didn’t manage to sleep because she was startled awake by a commotion.
A few minutes prior—
Though the primary guests of the full moon banquet were the two little princesses, it was the adults who were eating, drinking, and laughing.
Once the little princesses were ready for a nap, the adults continued their revelries, pushing the banquet atmosphere to its peak.
Suddenly, rapid footsteps echoed outside.
A messenger, bearing a black panda flag, dashed through without obstacle, even stumbling once.
To ensure communication speed, messengers delivering vital information carry obvious flags that match the urgency level of military reports. Black denotes extremely urgent matters; anyone daring to impede them is dealt with ruthlessly!
Thus, this messenger made it all the way outside without being stopped.
He didn’t even catch his breath before producing an urgent letter stamped with a black panda seal.
“Report—urgent news from the front lines, please have the Lord read it!”
Information?
At this time?
Everyone’s hearts sank with worry.
A black seal urgent report meant either good news or bad news—the former brings joy upon joy, while the latter spells ominous tidings!
They hadn’t heard of any movements at the frontline recently; why would they choose the full moon day to send an urgent report from eight hundred miles away?
Could it be someone was causing trouble on this auspicious day, sneaking a message to the Lord like a general?
Amid various speculations from the crowd, only Jiang Pengji remained calm.
Good news or bad news?
On a day as good as this, anyone bringing misfortune? I’d raze their ancestors’ graves!
