Lucky Star Little Maid - C224
Today, Yuanxi had captured Zhou, and because the Mama Su and the Master Xuan Ling by the empress dowager’s side had arrived personally, their Xu Family was lively for several hours.
The last to leave was naturally Xu Nuanwen’s family. If it wasn’t for Ye Jingxing who had gone through great difficulties to beg the Emperor Ruikang and said that they had entered the palace for many days and missed their sons, hoping to stay in the Fifth Prince Palace outside the palace for the night, they might not be able to come out today.
Seeing that her wife was not willing to leave, Ye Jingxing knew in his heart that she was thinking of him in case they meet again.
At that time, even if Old Madame Xu is the wife’s own mother, he would have to pay her respects.
No matter how hard Xu Nuanwen tried, the Old Madame Xu was still unmoved, and did not mention anything about leaving her family to eat dinner.
Therefore, Xu Nuanwen could only leave the Xu Family in the end under the urging of her husband and her sons.
After sending off all the guests, Old Madame Xu said that she was tired, and let Xu Shiqiu and Dong Shu bring him back to the Shihuan Courtyard to rest. There was no need for him to come to her place to eat dinner.
The reason why Old Madame Xu said this was because of the liveliness that had already passed. Secondly, Old Madame Xu was indeed tired, and secondly, Old Madame Xu felt that it was better to let her family of three have a good time since she was an old lady.
Xu Shiqiu was very clear about Old Madame Xu’s personality, there were many female members of the Palace that had come today. Although Eldest Sister-in-Law, Second Sister-in-law and Eldest Nephew were here to receive them, Mother and Young Girl were indeed very tired.
Furthermore, Xu Shiqiu also had something to say to his Young Girl, so after his Old Madame Xu said it, he did not decline.
When Xu Shiqiu carried Yuanxi in one hand and brought Dong Shu with the other to the Shihuan Courtyard, they saw that Wang’s Disease had already prepared hot water with Ling Xiang and the others.
Xu Shiqiu wanted to bathe together with Dong Shu, but Dong Shu directly carried Yuanxi and left first, ignoring Xu Shiqiu’s fiery gaze.
Looking at Young Girl’s back, Xu Shiqiu raised his eyebrows and smiled.
He had a premonition that from tomorrow onwards, the capital would be in chaos for a while longer. Thus, tonight, no matter what, he would have to cause a ruckus at the Young Girl twice.
After the family took a bath and changed their clothes, the sky gradually darkened.
However, because they had eaten too much today, the whole family was not very hungry. Receiving the instructions from their masters, Wang’s Disease decided to heat up a pot of broth in Shihuan Courtyard’s small kitchen, and also took out the large kitchen noodle roll, wonton, dumplings and other ingredients that were specially wrapped and placed in the small kitchen.
Tonight was the Chinese New Year’s Eve, and even if she did not go out to enjoy the lanterns, she would not have gone to bed so early. Thus, she had prepared some food, which she arranged very well.
After confirming that the Wang’s Disease had well arranged everything in the courtyard, Dong Shu then let the Mama Yan rest. She took the soft cloth and started to wipe Yuanxi’s hair bit by bit.
Xu Shiqiu looked at Young Girl who was wiping Yuanxi’s hair carefully, thought for a moment, and spoke: “Today, we discussed a bit, and then Brother-in-law and I went to see Yan Ye alone, and felt that this matter was not simple.”
Dong Shu didn’t understand these things initially, but because she had a lot of things to do in the past few months and Xu Shiqiu wasn’t home before, she gradually understood a lot of things that she didn’t understand before.
Now that he heard Xu Shiqiu’s words, he knew that there was something big going on.
“What do you mean?” Dong Shu stopped rubbing his hair. Without waiting for Yuanxi to raise her head in doubt, she continued to wipe his hair. She only looked at him without moving her eyes away.
Seeing that Dong Shu had revealed such an expression, Xu Shiqiu immediately spoke: “We discussed this matter with the others first, although they all felt that it was not simple, they did not guess anything. I only saw that brother-in-law’s expression was a little strange, but since there were so many people, I did not ask, but everyone had agreed that no matter what His Majesty said tomorrow morning, as well as what the others said, they would all end up biting Ye Jingche and the Liu Family. ”
Saying up to here, Xu Shiqiu paused for a bit. Seeing that Yuanxi had dried the hair on hherhead, she reached out and hugged Yuanxi in his arms, then continued: “Later on, I thought that brother-in-law’s expression was a little strange. I was just about to speak privately with him, but who knew that he actually took the initiative to ask to see Yan Ye. When the two of us see Yan Ye, Brother-in-law finally revealed his guess. ”
Dong Shu saw Xu Shiqiu carrying Yuanxi away, so she stood up and walked to the side, and poured herself a cup of warm water to drink. She did not wait for Xu Shiqiu to speak, and turned to look at him: “Continue.”
Upon hearing Dong Shu’s words, Xu Shiqiu smiled at her ingratiatingly: “I’ll have to trouble your wife to get a cup of warm water for your husband.” After saying that, he hurriedly explained, “After taking a bath and talking so much, I feel like my mouth is very dry.”
Hearing Xu Shiqiu’s words, Dong Shu stared at him helplessly. Then she carefully poured herself half a cup of warm water and placed it near his lips.
After Xu Shiqiu drank half a cup of warm water, he then looked at Dong Shu and continued, “Brother-in-law said that this matter, from the very beginning to the end, seemed to have a special style of doing things for the Seventh Prince’s Ye Jingde. He even asked Yan Ye if he had met Ye Jingde after entering the capital.”
“Ye Jingde? Seventh Prince? ”
Dong Shu did not have a deep impression of the Seventh Prince, but because of the matter regarding his Crown Princess’s production, she came into contact with the Sixth Prince Ye Jinghui.
The most important reason was that she had met the Madame Liu at that time, and because of what happened at the palace’s New Year’s Eve banquet, she had a deep impression of the Madame Liu.
On the other hand, Seventh Prince Ye Jingde, whom she could only recall seeing before, but he could not recall any more.
Looking at Dong Shu’s expression, Xu Shiqiu could guess that she probably had no impression of Ye Jingde.
“I didn’t know much about Seventh Prince at first, but because of the relationship between the two of them, as well as the matter of Seventh Prince’s mother plotting against the Consort De’s Empress, Brother-in-law always paid attention to him. Since Brother-in-law is able to say that it’s him, it is not without reason. Merely, I did not expect that after taking care of one Ye Jingche, another Ye Jingde would emerge. ”
Dong Shu could understand Xu Shiqiu’s words.
He originally thought that after taking care of Ye Jingche, after his brother-in-law ascended the throne, his family would be able to live a peaceful life. However, now that Ye Jingde appeared again, this person wasn’t as direct as Ye Jingche.
This was really hard to guard against.
Not only her Xu Family, even the Ye Jingxing in the Fifth Prince Palace, who rarely obtained the permission of His Majesty and had stayed over for the night, told Xu Nuanwen his own speculation.
“Does Seventh Brother really have this intention?” Xu Nuanwen was not stupid. When Ye Jingxing told her about this matter that was similar to how he usually acted, she immediately guessed the reason.
It was just that she didn’t expect that after his husband had already gotten His Majesty’s name, Ye Jingde would still dare to cause trouble.
“Humph!” Seventh brother thought that he was no longer here, and because something happened to Ye Jingche, he caused me to be implicated as well. Sixth brother didn’t have such intentions, so of the few princes that were in charge, he is the only one left. ” After saying that, Ye Jingxing looked at Xu Nuanwen, thought for a while and continued, “Seventh Brother looks smart, but he’s actually a fool. He doesn’t know, and even if the few of us are gone, the Royal Father will not pass on the throne to him!”
Hearing Ye Jingxing’s words, Xu Nuanwen’s mind trembled, and then she looked at Ye Jingxing in confusion.
Ye Jingxing had never hidden this from Xu Nuanwen before he became his own wife, so naturally, he would not hide such a huge matter from the intelligent Xu Nuanwen.
“It’s not like you don’t know what Seventh Brother’s birth mother did that year. Since the day that Royal Father agreed to give him this title of ‘De’, he has never had the possibility of ascending to that position again. ” After speaking to here, Ye Jingxing paused for a while, then continued: “When I was serving beside Royal Father a few days ago, I heard his tone, as if he was sighing that it was fortunate that I was alright, or else he would have directly passed the position of emperor to Uncle Prince Duan.”
Xu Nuanwen never thought that His Majesty would have such thoughts, but after thinking about it, she understood why he had such thoughts.
His Majesty treated his own brother, the Prince Duan, very well. Moreover, he was different from His Majesty. The Prince Duan might have come from a martial arts background, unlike His Majesty who was indecisive and indecisive.
Although the Prince Duan Palace also had Shu sons and Shu daughters, other than the Shu eldest daughter who had married into the Xu Family, the following three were the direct sons of Prince Duan’s concubine.
In the past, there was a bold woman in the Prince Duan who wanted to kill Prince Duan’s son so that his own son could be promoted. However, when the Prince Duan found out about this, not only did he immediately execute that woman, he even exchanged his son for a mother.
Currently, Prince Duan did not lack sons and grandsons, and the eldest son had four sons, and all of them were pretty good.
It was said that the Prince Duan had even said that his throne would definitely be passed to his eldest son in the future, so he threw his second and third sons into the army camp to grind them.
Now, both of them had contributed greatly. They were only waiting for the new Emperor to ascend the throne to bestow them a reward.
As for the bastards, although the Prince Duan was not as good to them as the direct disciples, but he had long divided the family property he should have, and according to their circumstances, the Prince Duan had arranged for them to do tasks.
Now, they both had wives and children, and they were extremely happy.
The most important point was that the Prince Duan’s body was countless times better than His Majesty’s. This was also the main reason why His Majesty had such thoughts in the past.
“It’s just that Uncle Prince Duan is unwilling. If he really does sit on the throne, then those few sons of his who were originally satisfied with him will definitely cause trouble. Furthermore, in the end, it was Uncle Prince Duan who recommended me. He said that although my actions weren’t as decisive as his ancestor’s, he still had a decisive helper like you. ” At this point, Ye Jingxing was also a little embarrassed, but in the end, he still continued while looking at Xu Nuanwen: “Uncle Prince Duan also said that with a woman as virtuous and as capable as you who can control me, at least within the third generation of the Imperial Family, nothing bad will happen.”
Xu Nuanwen didn’t think that Ye Jingxing would say these words at this time. The most important point was that these words were said by His Majesty and his own husband.
Thinking about her usual style of handling things, Xu Nuanwen nodded at Ye Jingxing and said, “Actually, Hubby, everything else is good, but you have indeed inherited the personality of the Royal Father. But you are different from Royal Father, in your heart, there is only me. ”
Ye Jingxing looked at the proud expression on his wife’s face and felt that he was right.
From the short glance he gave many years ago, he had taken a fancy to this daughter of his, Xu Family, who was full of smiles.
That year, he had finally married her with great difficulty. After all these years, he had always felt guilty for not being able to protect his Xu Family when something had happened at that time.
But Royal Father and Uncle Prince Duan said that Xu Family was a smart person and their own wife was also a smart person.
When he ascends the throne in the future, she would definitely not open her mouth and ask him what he wanted for Xu Family, and would even control her Xu Family to not ask him what he wanted.
Therefore, he must treat her well.
Ye Jingxing could feel that when Royal Father and Uncle Prince Duan were saying these words, it was because of the matter regarding his father-in-law back then.
He understood his wife’s personality very well. Just like her, he understood her as well. The two of them were a match made in heaven.
Seeing Ye Jingxing’s expression, Xu Nuanwen understood his intentions, and thought that there would be more matters to take care of tomorrow morning. She immediately looked at him and said: “Go to sleep early, there will be more matters to take care of tomorrow.”
Hearing Xu Nuanwen’s words, Ye Jingxing suddenly laughed at her, and before Xu Nuanwen could react, she directly carried her and walked towards the bed in the room.
How could Xu Nuanwen not understand what Ye Jingxing was trying to do? It was just that she did not expect that after getting married for so many years, she would actually carry her in her arms and assume the posture of a newly wedded grandmother and grandfather.
In the Fifth Prince Palace, Xu Nuanwen and Ye Jingxing had a feeling that they were getting married together, and had just made a scene at Dong Shu’s wedding.
Looking at the Young Girl in his arms, who was about to fall asleep, Xu Shiqiu’s heartbeat also gradually calmed down.
No matter what would happen in the imperial court tomorrow, he would not allow Ye Jingche and the Liu Family the chance to escape!
