Lucky Star Little Maid - C176
Xu Nuanwen had thought more than Dong Shu, so when the Old Madame Xu said this, she immediately understood the meaning behind these words.
If there was really something going on in the capital, her mother would probably arrange for people to send Yuanxi away. Although Yuanxi was just a lady, she was the only blood of her third brother at that time.
This time’s matter was nothing compared to the others. If they truly failed, it would be a huge disaster for their entire clan.
Thinking to this, Xu Nuanwen smiled lightly: “Mother is right. Sister-in-law is bringing Yuanxi with her into the palace this time, and it just so happens that it’s going to be cold in the capital after a while.
Hearing Aunt Sister’s words, Dong Shu nodded her head immediately.
Seeing that Dong Shu agreed to this matter, the Old Madame Xu and Xu Nuanwen did not speak anymore.
Dong Shu’s movements were quick, she decided to enter the palace to see the Queen, and got someone to send a message.
This time, the Empress Hu did the same as usual. After receiving the news, he immediately sent a message to Dong Shu.
Dong Shu was also used to the Empress Hu treating him in such a way, so because they were going to enter the palace the next morning, Dong Shu had personally brought Yuanxi to sleep the night before.
Under Dong Shu’s watch, Yuanxi became extremely obedient. As the sky turned dark, Dong Shu fed her half a bowl of goat’s milk, changed her diapers, and washed her body. Then, Yuanxi obediently allowed Ling Xiang to watch her play with her ball while waiting for Dong Shu.
A quarter of an hour later, Dong Shu was also done washing her hair. She climbed onto the bed and laughed happily, throwing down her beloved cloth ball before turning around and throwing herself into Dong Shu’s embrace while giggling.
“Good girl Yuanxi, sleep early tonight. Tomorrow morning mother will bring you to the palace to visit the Empress.” As she spoke, Dong Shu lowered her head and gently kissed Yuanxi on the forehead. Then, she closed her eyes slightly, reached out and gently patted Yuanxi’s back, as if she was going to sleep.
Now, Yuanxi rarely slept with him. Even if Xu Shiqiu was not at home, she would only sleep with him once every two to three days.
So every time she slept with Dong Shu, she would be very obedient. The moment she saw her mother close her eyes to sleep, she would obediently close them to sleep as well.
After Yuanxi slept soundly in his arms, Dong Shu finally opened her eyes and looked at Yuanxi who was in his arms.
Seeing Yuanxi’s soundly asleep, the corner of Dong Shu’s mouth could not help but curl into a faint smile.
Yuanxi was getting easier to carry around in her house. Every time she closed her eyes to sleep, she would obediently follow suit and sleep, not making a fuss about her at all.
Thinking up to here, Dong Shu suddenly started to miss Xu Shiqiu a bit. If his husband knew that Yuanxi was like this, he would definitely put her on his shoulder and play around for a while before letting it go.
Thinking that she would be home in a few more days, Dong Shu finally revealed a smile. This was the first time she had separated from her husband for so long.
On the morning of the second day, before the sky brightened, Dong Shu woke up.
Usually, at this time, she would have to hug the wet nurse in her arms and drink milk in order to wake up. But today, when she woke up, she realised that the one lying beside her was her mother, so she supported her fat body and climbed directly onto her mother’s body.
Dong Shu woke up because of Yuanxi’s disturbance. Opening her eyes, she saw Yuanxi happily crawling on her body, and she couldn’t help but let out a laugh.
Yuanxi was kissed to the point that she began to giggle. The mother and daughter then lost all sleepiness and directly got out of bed to wash up.
When Yuanxi was washing up and grooming, Yuanxi’s wet nurse fed her while hugging him, and then helped him clean up her little face and hands before she quietly left.
Now that Yuanxi was getting bigger and bigger, the amount of supplementary food Dong Shu was feeding her was getting more and more, and the wet nurse was getting more and more useless.
If not for the fact that Yuanxi still had her milk addiction when she woke up everyday, she might have already left the Xu Family.
The mother and daughter pair were wearing the same colored dress today. After it was autumn, Dong Shu made a few new dresses, although the clothes were not the most luxurious, but they were very well made, and seemed to be extremely exquisite.
After entering the palace, Empress Hu saw that Dong Shu and her daughter were wearing the same colored dress, and immediately laughed: “Every time I see you two dressed like this, I am very happy in my heart. “It seems like if I have the right materials in the future, I’ll have to make you dresses.”
Empress Hu does not lack good things, those fresh and tender colored materials, although Emperor Ruikang knew that Empress Hu would not be able to use them, he still sent them over, all for the sake of Empress Hu giving them to others.
Upon hearing Empress Hu’s words, Dong Shu knew that she was prepared to give him the last good item, and immediately knelt down to pay her respects.
When Dong Shu was called out, she immediately brought Yuanxi up to her.
Yuanxi had entered the palace many times now. Although she was still young and could only remember a few things, she was already very familiar with the Empress Hu’s aura and appearance.
After being directly stuffed into the Empress Hu’s embrace by Dong Shu, she obediently leaned into her embrace, her eyes staring at the specially made milk tea in front of Empress Hu.
Empress Hu liked the look of Yuanxi who was able to eat the most. Yuanxi stared at the milk tea in front of him and immediately ordered her men to cook a bowl of goat’s milk for him.
“Yuanxi, hold on. After saying that, Empress Hu looked towards Dong Shu, who had something to say.
In fact, the Empress Hu had guessed why Dong Shu had entered the palace today. Although His Majesty hadn’t invented the decree, the news about the palace couldn’t be hidden from her.
only felt that it was funny.
Dong Shu did not say anything, and Empress Hu did not say anything either. Once the milk was done cooking, she took a small silver spoon and fed the milk to Yuanxi, spoonful by spoonful.
The taste of the goat’s milk was something that Yuanxi was used to drinking. Although the wet nurse and her mother didn’t feed him, Yuanxi still sat obediently in the Queen’s embrace and drank the majority of the bowl of goat’s milk.
When Yuanxi was about to fall asleep after drinking the lamb milk, Dong Shu directly looked at Mama Yan and said, “I’m afraid Yuanxi is going to sleep soon. Mama Yan will bring Yuanxi to the side hall to rest for a while.”
Since Dong Shu and Yuanxi came to the capital city to visit the Empress Hu, the Empress Hu ordered people to clean up the side hall, leaving it as a place for Dong Shu and Yuanxi to rest temporarily after entering the palace.
Dong Shu rarely rested in the palace, so most of the side halls were used by Yuanxi.
Upon hearing Dong Shu’s words, the Mama Yan immediately left with Yuanxi in her arms. After Yuanxi left, Dong Shu gathered up her courage and looked towards the Empress Hu, “Empress, actually, Shu’er entered the palace today because she has something to ask of you.”
When Dong Shu opened his mouth, the Empress Hu immediately laughed, “I thought that you were going to hold it in until you left the palace before I asked.
When Empress Hu said this, Dong Shu’s heart trembled. She understood that her mother-in-law and Aunt Sister were indeed right.
After a moment of absent-mindedness, Dong Shu looked at Empress Hu and stated her purpose of coming to the palace today.
“I’m truly worried. My mother-in-law and elder sister both don’t understand, so they can only allow me to enter the palace to seek guidance from the Empress.”
When Empress Hu heard Dong Shu’s intimate tone, it was obvious that she did not regard herself as an outsider. She was happy in her heart, and directly nodded as she said. “Yesterday, when I received the news that you wanted to enter Asgard, I guessed that you wanted to enter the Asgard to inquire about this matter.”
Hearing Empress Hu’s words, Dong Shu’s ears immediately turned red, she felt that it was a little embarrassing, but after thinking about it, since Empress knew about her thoughts, she might as well explain it, since Empress liked her outspoken attitude.
Understanding this point, Dong Shu said straightforwardly, “The Empress still understands Shu’er. After hearing this news yesterday, I was dazed for a long time before finally understanding that something is amiss. At first, I also didn’t want to trouble the Empress with this matter, but my elder sister said that the Empress viewed me as her daughter. Now that the ‘son-in-law’ has matters to attend to, the Empress will definitely take a care of him. ” After saying that, Dong Shu felt a little embarrassed, but in the end she still continued to look at Empress Hu and said: “I think for so long, the Empress has always been taking care of me. Rather than letting me guess at home, it’s better to just enter the palace and ask the Empress for guidance.”
Empress Hu knew that Dong Shu was telling the truth when she heard him.
Empress Hu knew clearly in her heart what temper Dong Shu had, so she called him over with an embarrassed look on her face. As usual, she held her hand and patted the back of his hand as she said, “I am well aware of your temper. This is a good thing, so you don’t have to worry about it. ” After saying that, the Empress Hu was afraid that Dong Shu didn’t understand what she meant, so she continued: “As for me seeing you as my girl, Your Majesty knows clearly in his heart that even if it’s to give face to this palace, he won’t harm your hubby. “What’s more, I’m here in the palace. Even if His Majesty had any ulterior motives, I’d be able to send you a message in time.”
Hearing Empress Hu’s words, Dong Shu wanted to kneel down and pay her respects, but was stopped by him.
Empress Hu looked at Dong Shu’s sincere face and smiled as she pulled her into her embrace. She said affectionately: “Good child, as long as I protect you one day in this palace, I will definitely protect you one day. Go back and tell your mother-in-law and your sister that this person is old, but she likes to be filial to her children. ”
Dong Shu didn’t understand why Empress Hu would suddenly tell her this, but she kept it in her heart and prepared to tell her grandma when she returned.
Seeing Dong Shu’s confused expression, the Empress Hu knew that she did not understand what she meant. However, she also understood that Dong Shu would definitely tell what she had said to Old Madam Xu Family when she returned home.
After understanding this matter, Empress Hu did not bring up this matter again, and changed the topic to talk about other things with Dong Shu.
Dong Shu waited for Yuanxi to wake up and changed into a nappy before leaving the palace to return home. This time, the Empress would naturally have something to give to him as a gift.
Along the way, Dong Shu kept thinking about what the Empress Hu had told him. The moment she reached home, she went straight to the Main Yard and told the Old Madame Xu everything.
Old Madame Xu did not think that the Empress would say such words for no reason at all.
Glancing at Dong Shu at the side, the Old Madame Xu directly said: “Since Empress said that this is a good thing, then we don’t need to worry.” After saying that, she paused for a moment before continuing, “I’ll send someone to send a message to your sister. She’s been very worried about this matter for the past two days.”
When Dong Shu heard Old Madame Xu’s words, she did not give it much thought. She only thought that Mother was worried that Aunt Sister would continue to worry about her husband.
Seeing that Dong Shu did not guess that she did not have any intentions to point it out, the fewer people knew about it, the better.
When Xu Nuanwen received the message from the Old Madame Xu, she immediately understood what had happened.
It just so happened that today Ye Jingxing was a bit more free, and was accompanying him. After hearing what the Xu Family servant said, he immediately looked towards Xu Nuanwen and said: “Your husband has enjoyed the blessings of his wife again.”
When Xu Nuanwen heard this, she immediately rolled his eyes at him. Then, out of the corner of his eyes, she saw that the servants and female servants had all retreated, so she snuggled up to Ye Jingxing’s ear and whispered: “Since you know you’re under’s protection, you should take care of yourself in the future.” After saying that, Xu Nuanwen curled her lips and said: “Tomorrow, you will bring Shang’er to the palace and he will look more and more like you. This Royal Father will definitely be happy to see you.”
Ye Jingxing knew that Xu Nuanwen was saying this on purpose, and he was curious too.
His elder brother looked extremely similar to someone from the Xu Family, but was able to tell at a glance that he was his son. As for his second brother, he also resembled someone from the Xu Family, but more importantly, he resembled his own mother.
As for this Third Brother, although he had been like him since he was young, after he got better, he became fatter and fatter, very similar to the Royal Father.
The Royal Father must have felt that Yue Yang was being extremely filial when he saw that Yue Yang was acting more and more like his grandson.
Thinking about the information the Empress had revealed to the Third Sister-in-Law, Ye Jingxing could not help but sigh. If not for the news that the Queen liked Third Sister-in-Law, he might not have been able to obtain the support of the Hu Family this easily.
If Hu Family did not support him, it would be difficult for him to win over Third Brother.
Most importantly, if not for this Third Sister-in-Law, that brother-in-law of his might still be staying at home.
Due to his brother-in-law’s outstanding performance, his Uncle Prince Duan, who was normally a talkative person, had recently been treating him better and better.
From the looks of it, all of this was thanks to Xu Family marrying such a fortunate wife.
