The Sevent Brother cried non-stop. Xu Jingshu took him from the Lady Xu's hands and used a handkerchief to wipe his tears, "Good Sevent Brother, your aunt loves you. Are you tired?
Many of the wives were surprised by how skilled Xu Jingshu was in carrying her children. Most of the daughters who had not left the pavilion would not understand these things, and seeing her coaxing and swaying in her embrace, those wives would not help but have a favorable impression of her. They felt that this girl was sensible and virtuous.
Strangely, Sevent Brother didn't cry anymore after being in her arms for a while. Xu Jingshu placed the quiet Sevent Brother on the kang behind him, then sat in front of him and patted him lightly.
"'s wife praised Xu Jingshu," Your house's Miss Biao is really well-behaved and sensible, taking care of this brother looks good too, you will definitely be a good wife in the future.
"Lady Zhang, don't say it like that. Lady Yu Shi is the virtuous and virtuous lady. I am still far from her."
Mrs. Zhang was grinning from ear to ear. "Look, she's a good talker too."
When Sevent Brother went to sleep, the other wives had already pulled her to ask all sorts of questions. Xie Jingxi looked at the handkerchief in her hand coldly, her face extremely gloomy.
Xie Jingyi was also very surprised, she looked at Xie Jingxi with a questioning gaze, Is this Xu Jingshu really that godly?
The thing that Xu Jingshu was afraid of was not that she would put on an act on the spot, nor that she would try to coax people into a fight, but that her hands were as light as a commoner. A child that was barely over the age of Sevent Brother, in order to not make him cry, she had actually used a knockout drug on him, to make him lose consciousness, and to think that she was able to do it.
The thing on her body was not only a handkerchief that was obsessed with drugs. As long as she wanted to, she could casually take out something to harm others. This kind of girl who was like a flower and jade-like had somehow cultivated such a heart, so how could Xie Jingxi allow her to marry Xie Jingyu. Moreover, this Young Miss Biao's intentions were extremely great. She was not satisfied with this unknown young master of the Pavilion, and wholeheartedly wanted to fly up the branch and become a phoenix.
Since there were a lot of people coming, the scene looked very spectacular. The Xie Family's relatively small courtyard was almost full, with Xie Jingxi and the Big Sis Sixth Miss sitting at the secondary table, not wanting to join in on the fun at the main table. Xie Jingxi pulled the Sixth Miss who had been busy for a long time over, "Look how busy our Sixth Miss is, hurry and sit down."
Xie Jingyi also said, "I never thought that the Sixth Miss was the hardest job for us sisters, the Auntie Xue taught her the best.
Big sister Third Sister, quickly stop laughing at me, I was the one who was in a mess and almost fell down just now. Luckily, an adult helped me out and I didn't have the chance to ask him about it.
Xie Jingxi was startled, which lord have you seen clearly?
Sixth Miss looked around the crowd, and finally spotted Chen Du at a table not far from them. He whispered to Xie Jingxi, "It's that one."
Xie Jingxi looked up and down, and almost fainted. In her heart, she thought that these are the so-called people that cannot be calculated better than the heavens, when she and Chen Du talked about marriage, she never even spoke a word directly. Sixth Miss was fated to meet him, and after seeing Sixth Miss's blushing face, Xie Jingxi suddenly felt her vision go black, as if her own daughter was being spied on by a wolf.
could be considered a genius, and he didn't do anything to Sixth Miss.
"Does Third Sister recognize you? You have to thank him if you have the chance. "
Xie Jingyi was about to say something when Xie Jingxi interrupted him and said, "I don't know, but I'll ask your brother-in-law to find out about it later."
Xie Jingyi seemed to have understood something and only smiled without saying a word. Sixth Miss felt a little regretful, "Oh, then I'll have to trouble brother-in-law."
The Xie Family banquet was as lively as a raging fire, but a sedan quietly stopped outside the door, it was none other than the His Majesty's imperial carriage.
In everyone's memories, His Majesty was not the type of emperor who would raid their subjects' homes happily, so no one expected him to come. When he arrived at the door, he heard from the attendant that the His Majesty had arrived, causing the entire group to nearly spurt out rice.
Xie Cen was the first to react and jogged over to welcome him. Just as he swallowed a mouthful of food, he kowtowed miserably, "This subject welcomes Your Majesty."
As soon as he kneeled, all the other subjects' wives followed suit and kneeled down as well. The small dining room was immediately filled with people with esteemed statuses and a feeling of complacency and swelled up.
The presence of the His Majesty at the official's family banquet was an unparalleled honor.
The His Majesty laughed and called for everyone to stand up, then he went to sit at the seat of honor, "Looks like our trip here was not in vain, it's Elder Official Xie who is causing this commotion."
"This subject is terrified, my dear Full Moon, thanks to the blessings of His Majesty, my fellow colleagues have given me so much face."
"Oh? To have a son in the middle of Elder Official Xie is a joyous event, it should be so.
pondered for a bit. What kind of things could the His Majesty not see in the palace? Firstly, the subjects had a deep relationship with each other in private, and their appearances were refined, and secondly, the disciples that came today were all young ladies and gentlemen, and many of them were unable to enter the palace on normal days, so the His Majesty must have had the intention of seeing them.
Xie Jingxi was shocked, could it be for the Sixth Miss? She probably wanted to see who would be brought directly to the palace. A few days ago, she heard that it was a young lady from a fifth rank official's family who was brought into the palace, and not too many people knew of it. Seems like His Majesty was not concerned with finding girls from good families, as her main goal was to give birth to a son.
The impression that Miss Xie Family would raise a child had always been in His Majesty's mind, and she was probably not willing to ignore the Sixth Miss at all. It would not be easy to summon a son to the palace, so the best way was to directly pay him a visit.
The His Majesty was also fighting quite hard.
"Your garden is tidied up quite well, it has a southern feel to it." His Majesty chatted about scenery for a while, then about the dishes again before shifting his focus back to the people at the table. "I heard that there are a few young masters at your house that want to participate in the next round.
"His Majesty laughs, these are all brats that have never seen the world before." Xie Cen waved to the table beside him, "You people still haven't come to see His Majesty."
Xie Jingyu and the other two stood up one by one, and went to greet the His Majesty fearfully. The His Majesty looked at the three young masters, and asked them about their age and knowledge. Especially Xu Jingshu's brother, Xu Songyi, who saw the His Majesty for the first time, he couldn't even say a few words. He couldn't even talk properly, and the youngest Xu Baichuan looked calm and steady.
"His Majesty glanced at Xie Jingxi's table again," Why are Mrs. Gu and Madam Lu sitting so far away?
Xie Jingxi and Xie Jingyi both stood up to pay their respects, thinking that they should have known who to blame for missing out on.
"Oh, the lady beside you who looks somewhat similar to Mrs. Gu, is he also from the clan?"
Xie Jingxi replied, "Returning to the His Majesty, it's indeed my Sixth Sister, my name is His Majesty." Xie Jingxi poked Sixth Miss's arm, reminding him in a small voice, "Hurry up and greet His Majesty."
Sixth Miss stood up in a bit of panic, and almost knocked over the tableware in front of him. She drooped her head and said in a small voice: "Speak, greetings His Majesty."
His Majesty narrowed his eyes and sized his up, "Since you are a charming guest of the house, then come and serve me as the main table."
Originally, when the few ladies at the main table heard this, they hastily got up to give way to the three girls from Xie Family. Xie Jingxi really broke out in a cold sweat for Sixth Miss, and following the order, she and Xie Jingyi went over to take their seats first, with Sixth Miss following right at the back. His Majesty had pretty good eyes, and seeing that Sixth Miss was walking smoothly, he was a little surprised.
What he did not expect was that when Sixth Miss was about to reach him, he tripped over his own foot and fell to the ground with a thud.
Everyone was shocked. This show was quite tragic, and everyone saw through His Majesty's intentions. They thought that Xie Family was going to give rise to another concubine or whatever, but who would have thought that this fall would cause them to become stupefied.
Only Xie Jingxi saw Xu Jingshu's actions and did not know whether to thank her or not, so she helped him out by chance. Since Sixth Miss was acting according to the flow and deliberately fell so hard, she was able to discern that Xie Jingxi's warning, although she did not know why, and subconsciously felt that she should not show off in front of His Majesty. Furthermore, she was indeed a little nervous, so she came and went as she pleased.
Sixth Miss's face was covered in dirt and she was in a very sorry state. Just as Xie Jingxi was about to go and help her, Xu Jingshu, who was near to her, grabbed hold of her and helped her up, "Sixth sister must have fallen down. Quickly get up, let's see if she fell down or not.
His Majesty did not know that there was a cousin lady in the mansion, but when he heard her calling him Sixth Sister, he asked Xie Cen about it and was told who Xu Jingshu was.
"My little girl, Xu Jingshu, has seen His Majesty. His Majesty can't blame my sixth sister for being rude in front of you, it really is my sixth sister who is not feeling well, helping my aunt look after the feast, hearing that her feet have twisted, and then suddenly seeing His Majesty. I can't help but be nervous.
His Majesty raised his eyebrows, thinking that this girl was really generous with her words.
