The Wang's Disease was Ling Xiang's mother. When Dong Shu was carrying Yuanxi, she was the one who took care of Dong Shu with Madame Li who was by her side.

Now that Madame Li had returned to Old Madame Xu's side, Wang's Disease had become the wife in charge of Shihuan Courtyard.

If not for the Empress Hu bestowing him the position of Mama Yan, his authority in the Wang's Disease would have been even greater.

However, compared to the Mama Yan, Dong Shu still preferred to use the Wang's Disease for this kind of thing.

Cui Hua understood what she meant, and after nodding to her, she bowed and prepared to leave.

Just as she was about to leave, Dong Shu suddenly opened her mouth and said: "When you return, you can go to Yuanxi's side to be the manager Mama, and in the future, follow Yuanxi, and she will help you retire."

Cui Hua never thought that Dong Shu would make such a promise. Her eyes were sore, tears were in her eyes, but she was smiling.

"Thank you Madam for your grace."

To Cui Hua, this was a favor.

Because Dong Shu already had Mama Yan and Wang's Disease by her side, when she returned, there was no way to squeeze these two away.

But it would be different if she followed Yuanxi in the future. Yuanxi's wet nurse would definitely leave Yuanxi's side. In the future, she would be the strongest person by Yuanxi's side, the Mama.

Regarding the matters regarding Cui Hua, Dong Shu did not hide the truth from him, because she had been promoted by Xu Shiqiu in the beginning.

When Xu Shiqiu heard about Cui Hua's decision, he did not have any objections and only warned Dong Shu: "That little sister of Cui Hua's in the manor, get someone to take care of her.

Regarding Xu Shiqiu's instructions, Dong Shu naturally remembered them immediately.

After saying that, Dong Shu brought up the matter of her family's feast for the past two days.

"The guests for this banquet are all in-laws. I wonder if they will bring anyone else."

When Dong Shu said this, Xu Shiqiu smiled at her: "She will definitely bring someone else over. After all, big sister had told me before that she wanted Mother to help her to see how her first wife looks like." After saying this, Xu Shiqiu let out a sigh and continued, "For the matter with Yanzhu, Big Sis has taken out all of the gifts that Huan'er had for our marriage."

Dong Shu listened to Xu Shiqiu, and really didn't know what to say.

Elder sister was busy for a few months. She said that she was picking a wife for her eldest son, but she wasn't able to pick one after a few months.

It's not that this isn't appropriate, it's just that there are some problems.

However, she understood that her sister only did so because she was afraid of the marriage ceremony.

She acted as if she was choosing seriously, and with the Consort De speaking up for her, even if His Majesty wanted to grant them a marriage, there was nothing he could do.

Because they had mentioned this matter, Dong Shu and Xu Shiqiu did not continue. Now that Ye Jingche wanted to continue, the possibility of their brother-in-law reaching that position, became greater.

Originally, Dong Shu and Xu Shiqiu, or perhaps more accurately, everyone in the capital, thought that before Ye Jingche was adopted out of the palace, His Majesty wouldn't say anymore.

However, on the afternoon of the day before Xu Family Banquet, another shocking piece of news suddenly spread through the palace.

His Majesty had decided to abdicate after passing on to Ye Jingche!

Originally, the entire Xu Family family had been busy with the matters of the banquet guests, but they hadn't thought that His Majesty would suddenly say such a thing in front of these ministers.

This time, he wasn't spreading the news in secret. His Majesty had said it in front of all the important officials.

The most important thing was the other information that came along with the news.

At that time, the Prince Duan had a calm expression, clearly knowing His Majesty's decision a long time ago.

There was also His Majesty's expression back then. It wasn't a probe, nor was it a discussion with the important officials. It was clear that he was informing them.

He felt that he was too old for the affairs of the nation, and that he was about to pass on the throne to his son.

As for which son it was, although Emperor Ruikang did not say it, the jade ruyi that he bestowed to the Fifth Prince Palace directly pointed out his attitude towards it.

"What should we do? Will there be many female servants here tomorrow?"

Why Dong Shu was so worried, was because the banquet tomorrow would be under the pretext of letting Old Madame Xu see what kind of wife her daughter had chosen for her grandson.

Now that His Majesty had suddenly spread word of this, the world had understood that the first son of His Majesty, the eldest son, would definitely be a perfect candidate to be the crown prince once he ascended to the throne.

As for other possibilities?

The Xu Family was currently slowly restoring its former strength, not to mention that the eldest daughter of the Prince Duan was actually the long concubine of the Xu Family.

In this way, if Prince Duan wanted his own grandson to be highly valued, then the son of the Xu Family girl would truly become the next Crown Prince.

As long as Ye Jingxing did not suddenly have a girl he liked, and that girl did not give birth to his son, then her position as the crown prince would definitely belong to Ye Huan.

However, the possibility of this happening was too small. After all, after being in Fifth Prince for so many years, other than the son of the Teng Concubine, who was accompanied by the Fifth Prince's concubine, the rest of the women were also given to stay in the house. Forget having children, they were told that they would never be able to see the Fifth Prince face to face.

Because Fifth Prince was not a woman and only had feelings for the Fifth Prince's concubine, Ye Huan had his sights set on his more and more.

They didn't believe that Ye Huan would be like his father, and would be satisfied just by guarding a woman for his entire life.

As long as their daughter could be chosen by Ye Huan, let alone the crown prince's consort, as long as she was a well-known concubine, there was no telling how the future would be.

There were too many people who could think, just by thinking, Dong Shu could guess that the banquet at home tomorrow would not be peaceful.

"You don't have to worry too much. No matter what, Brother-in-law is still a prince right now." Xu Shiqiu looked at Dong Shu, and just as he finished speaking his consoling words, he thought for a while before continuing: "Moreover, our banquet tomorrow, wasn't to pick out a wife for Brother Huan. If there are really too many people, then let Big Sis call them all over to look. "

Dong Shu raised his head to look at the smile on Xu Shiqiu's face and couldn't help but shake his head: "Big sis has put in a lot of effort to deal with Yanzhu. After saying this, Dong Shu thought for a moment, then continued while looking at Xu Shiqiu: "I'm going over to Mother's place, do you want to come along?"

"Go, and ask your mother if she has any plans for this matter. If your mother has any arrangements, then listen to your mother." After all, the main purpose of tomorrow's banquet was to let the people here see Yanzhu from afar, so on this matter, they really had to ask Old Madame Xu.

The news that came from the palace today was simply too shocking. Even though they had already heard the rumour earlier, it was only the rumour.

But today was different.

His Majesty had personally said such words in front of the other ministers today. This matter had basically been set in stone.

Thinking about how our clan would also become a clan of the later generations, Old Madame Xu sighed and said, "This matter is an opportunity for our Xu Family, but it is also a risk." The Old Madame Xu looked at Xu Shiqiu, and only continued after seeing him nod his head: "Look at the Hu Family, due to the empress, their family has indeed had a good time. But now …

Their current Hu Family was indeed not that great, and right now, they were relying mainly on their daughter's marriage to maintain the clan's glory.

Just because Empress Hu's son died, but His Majesty still had other sons.

Ye Jingxing was only in his early thirties, so he was not very old.

After he ascended the throne, could he really not choose a talent show?

Would the courtiers really allow her daughter to spoil the harem alone?

Old Madame Xu felt a headache when she thought of these things. She understood her daughter, she could care for Fifth Prince Palace alone, but she might not be able to care for the harem alone.

This was a harem, not an ordinary inner courtyard.

It was also because she didn't believe in Ye Jingxing as her son-in-law. If she really sat in that position, there would be too many people who couldn't control themselves.

"Mom, it's still too early to worry about these things. After all, even if Brother-in-law really ascends the throne, there will still be an old saint watching over him."

Once Xu Shiqiu said this, the Old Madame Xu sighed, then asked: "Are you guys here for the banquet tomorrow?"

"Exactly." Dong Shu raised her eyes to look at Xu Shiqiu, and upon seeing that her husband had no intention to speak, she took the initiative to continue: "Because of the news from the palace, I am a little worried that more ladies will come tomorrow than planned."

Old Madame Xu did not expect Dong Shu to actually be worried about this matter. After she comforted Dong Shu with a smile, she opened her mouth and said: "You do not have to worry about this matter. "Just tell them to prepare more food tomorrow. If there are really many girls coming, they will all be brought to the garden to admire the flowers."

With Old Madame Xu's words, Dong Shu heaved a sigh of relief.

But the Old Madame Xu did not expect that the girls who came to Xu Family on the second day would be so many.
