Today, during the Xu Family Banquet, the guests, as well as the fact that the Emperor Ruikang was already said to be situated at Ye Jingxing, and the date for the new emperor to ascend to the throne had already been set. Before this, there were no channels available, so naturally they wanted to make use of this day of Xu Family banquets to pay their respects to Xu Family, this newly advanced pier.

These people were all so active, not to mention that they were all in-laws who had already received the post earlier.

Once the morning hours had passed, the streets outside the Xu Family gate became bustling with activity, and in less than fifteen minutes, people had already arrived.

The busiest one would naturally be Xu Nuanwen's family. She had long since started to think about the matters of her own nieces, and even the birthday present she prepared for her little nieces was something that she had been preparing since last year.

Although he had moved into the palace, he had to leave it for a day like this.

Ye Huan and his brothers were still living in the Fifth Prince Palace. A few days ago, they had received news from their mother that she was going to check all of these things again.

Fortunately, the three brothers had nothing better to do recently, so they together checked the eight boxes that Xu Nuanwen had prepared a long time ago.

In the morning, the three brothers had already changed into their clothes, and then loaded the gifts onto the carriage. After the father and mother who were living in the palace left, the family of five rushed over to Xu Family.

Those following behind them were naturally members of the Xu family.

They were in-laws with the second branch in the Xu Family and now that Ye Jingxing was about to ascend the throne, their master naturally had a future.

Today, the family of four had all changed into new clothes. Although the gifts weren't expensive, they were still items that the three of them had meticulously prepared for more than a month.

As they arrived, one after another, in less than an hour, the closest families followed suit.

Seeing that the people were all gathered, Xu Shiqiu gave Ye Jingxing a meaningful glance, and then the men that were in charge went to enjoy the scenery, without knowing where to discuss.

When the few of them left, a few women immediately noticed that something was up and looked towards the Old Madame Xu.

Old Madame Xu knew that she could not hide this fact, so she told Yue Yang what happened two days ago at the palace.

"Our clans and the Madame Liu's race have already reached an irreconcilable stalemate. Now that such a thing has occurred, and the first Grand Examination after tomorrow will happen, I believe that we will definitely come to a conclusion regarding this matter."

No one had expected so much to happen in the past few days.

Thinking about the Empress Hu's temper in the palace, the wife of the Hu Family asked first, "Empress of the palace, do you have anything to say?" Saying that, Madam Hu looked at Dong Shu.

Everyone knew that the Empress Hu treated Dong Shu as her own daughter and the rewards that they had received from the carriage a year ago had dazzled the eyes of many.

Seeing Madam Hu looking straight at Dong Shu, no one felt it was strange. After all, if Empress Hu had something to say, she would definitely pass it to Dong Shu.

But who knew that after Dong Shu heard Madam Hu's question, she actually shook her head and said, "The Empress did not spread the news, and only the Mama Yan received a message from the palace.

When the few ladies heard Dong Shu's words, they did not know how to reply.

When Ye Jingche and the Madame Liu Clan had fought against the previous Crown Prince, and now that they wanted to use the previous Crown Prince to wash themselves clean, how could the Empress not be angry?

Old Madame Xu and Xu Nuanwen took the chance to look at each other. They knew that Yan Ye was indeed alive, and Xu Nuanwen had even received hints from the Old Madame Xu just now that she had met Yan Ye before.

Now, they felt that the Madame Liu Clan wanted to use the previous Crown Prince's matter to wash their hands of themselves. However, they knew that there must be something else.

After hearing her sister-in-law's words, Xu Nuanwen thought for a while, then said: "Right now, no matter what, the most important thing is to quickly determine the crime of mother and son as well as the Madame Liu Clan. "Everyone knows a bit about that man's character. All I'm afraid of is that he will feel heartache for this son of his."

Xu Nuanwen was about to become the Queen.

Seeing that everyone stopped pursuing the matter regarding Xu Nuanwen's daughter-in-law, Old Madame Xu continued, "Now that everyone is aware of this matter, when we return today, everyone will still need to help our husband, and should make arrangements as soon as possible." After saying this, Old Madame Xu thought for a moment before continuing, "After a while more, the other guests should come knocking as well. Everyone should restrain your emotions in time."

With these two sentences from Old Madame Xu, the management wives immediately understood what she meant.

Although they were only inner chamber women, they still had connections in their hands.

Not to mention his family, even his close friends from the past were extraordinary.

If they really allowed the Madame Liu Clan to escape this time, then they would never be able to get anything good out of it in the future.

Thinking of this, the few ladies hurriedly expressed their attitude, claiming that they would definitely help their husband.

After obtaining everyone's promise, Old Madame Xu looked at Dong Shu and said: "Go check on Yuanxi, it's almost time to capture Zhou."

After receiving the Old Madame Xu's instructions, Dong Shu was naturally busy looking for Yuanxi, and after she left, although the various wives still had smiles on their faces, they could still tell that something was still amiss.

It wasn't until a quarter of an hour later, when the various men returned, that the madams finally had a backbone.

Although they did not know how they had come to an agreement, they could tell that their expressions were normal. Thus, they could be considered to be somewhat relieved.

As the other guests came over, they were getting closer and closer to where Yuanxi was. Previously, Old Madame Xu had mentioned that they would need to train a few days ahead of time, but Dong Shu felt that there was no need for this.

Hearing Dong Shu's words, Old Madame Xu also felt that it made sense. Third-son only had one daughter left, her own aunt was about to become the empress, and her own mother was even loved by the empress.

At this time, Dong Shu went to find a place where it was convenient to go back to the courtyard with the wet nurse. She had just cleaned and changed her clothes when she arrived at the courtyard where she had set up the things for Zhou.

The person who came to send off the rewards was Mama Su, who was by her side. Seeing that Mama Su had personally come, the guests that came to congratulate him naturally regarded Xu Family, the little granddaughter, with more importance.

"The Empress Dowager has been busy these past few days. After a few days when she is free, she can bring the Third Miss to the palace to express her gratitude." After saying that, Mama Su took out two more bags from her chest pocket, looked at Dong Shu, and said, "This is the birthday present Mama Hu and I gave to the three miss. It's not as precious as the Empress', but it's still our kind intentions."

Only the Mama Su and the Mama Hu who had been by Empress Hu's side for many years would have the guts to send the parents and daughters of ministers off for their birthday presents on a day like this.

However, the two Mama s were of the same rank, and although they were Mama s, they were more valuable than the wives of ordinary people.

Moreover, Dong Shu had always seen the two of them as elders and the Empress Hu as sisters. Now that she had received the gifts from the two Mama s, she could only be happy and not have any thoughts about them.

Forget about Dong Shu, even Old Madame Xu had a smile on her face when she saw Mama Su taking out her and Mama Hu's gifts.

"Since the Mama Su is here, we should eat a cup of water and wine."

The Old Madame Xu only received half a bow before she heard Mama Su say, "The Empress told me to go back to the palace after a feast to properly talk about today's events. As a result, even if Old Madame does not keep any guests, I would still stay behind to watch the show."

Seeing Mama Su and Old Madame Xu being so intimate, everyone had confirmed that not only was Xu Family the home of the new emperor's principal wife, it was also something that the empress of the palace loved.

Seeing that Mama Su was already received by her mother-in-law, Dong Shu looked at Xu Shiqiu who was carrying Yuanxi.

After receiving his Young Girl's gaze, Xu Shiqiu immediately opened his mouth to speak to everyone.

Before he could speak, he saw a servant of the Xu Family leading a person and quickly approaching.

"It seems like I'm not too late." Saying that, Master Xuan Ling's figure appeared in everyone's line of sight.

No one would have thought that the Master Xuan Ling would actually come. This time, not only Xu Shiqiu and Dong Shu, even the new emperor who was about to ascend the throne hurriedly took two steps forward and bowed to the Master Xuan Ling.

Unexpectedly, Master Xuan Ling who was still smiling saw Ye Jingxing and the others coming over, and immediately said with a straight face: "This humble one is not here to see you, this humble one is here to see the genius of your Dong Family."

When Dong Shu heard Master Xuan Ling's words, she hurriedly took two steps forward and said, "Master, the only reason you came was because of Xu Family and my daughter's good fortune." After saying that, Dong Shu raised her hand and looked at Master Xuan Ling with a wink: "Coincidentally, I made a few new snacks recently, so it'll definitely fit Master's taste."

Although the Master Xuan Ling had some history with the Xu Family back then, with his character today, he would definitely not reveal himself.

But he never would have thought that he would receive a Xu Family on such a day.

Master Xuan Ling did not care about the gazes of the people around him, as his status was already known to everyone, and he knew that it was not convenient for him to stay here for long.

He took off the buddhist beads that he specially prepared and personally placed them on Yuanxi, then said: "This is a buddhist bead that I have dedicated my entire life to you, I wish you a peaceful and happy life."

After saying that, without caring about Yuanxi's blank look, Master Xuan Ling looked at Xu Shiqiu and said: "The hour is about to come, why aren't you starting to capture Zhou?"

Upon hearing Master Xuan Ling's words, how could Xu Shiqiu dare to delay any further, he immediately said a few words to his eldest daughter, who was at the age of one, thanking everyone for coming to celebrate, and then began to let Yuanxi take revenge.

Yuanxi had never trained before, so the moment her father put her down, she unhappily asked her mother to hug her.

But who knew that Dong Shu could see through her thoughts, and immediately said: "Yuanxi, look at all the things in front, what do you like, can you take one?"

Yuanxi was confused, but she could understand that her mother had called her over. She could also follow her mother's gesture and look at the red cloth that was covered with all sorts of things.

Seeing so many novel things, Yuanxi thought it was her new toy. Without waiting for Dong Shu to open her mouth, she began to use her hands and feet to crawl towards those things.

When she reached the thing she liked, Yuanxi stopped. Her crescent eyes, like Dong Shu's, first swept a circle around her before finding an empty space to sit down.

Then, without hesitation, he picked up the wooden sword that he had taken a fancy to earlier and placed a book in his hands.

After taking the two things, Yuanxi then looked towards her mother happily. At the same time, she didn't forget to raise her arm and show her hands to her mother.

On the other hand, when the surrounding people saw Yuanxi taking out a wooden sword and a book, they didn't know how to congratulate him.

This' martial art and martial art 'had good intentions, but the person before him was a woman.

Just as everyone was at a loss for words, Master Xuan Ling directly spoke: "Alright! Good! Good! You truly are worthy of being the daughter of Xu Family! "

Hearing Master Xuan Ling's words, the others all started to congratulate him.

And when he thought about Xu Nuanwen's' ability 'on New Year's Eve, he gained some more understanding towards his daughter.

It was common for a daughter of the Xu Family to possess both civil and martial skills.
