Seeing Dong Shu's expression, Old Madame Xu only felt it was funny.

Seeing that Xu Nuanwen was looking at her and smiled, she immediately smiled and said to Dong Shu: ”Don't enter the palace for the next two days, wait till after Your Majesty has decided on this matter.”

Old Madame Xu felt that the palace would not be peaceful in the near future, so she did not recommend Dong Shu to enter the palace.

Dong Shu was also not a person who did not know what was good for him.

”Then I'll stay at home for the next few days. I'll come visit the Empress in two days.” As she spoke, Dong Shu recalled the three months which Xu Shiqiu and the Emperor Ruikang had agreed upon earlier.

”Mother, there's still a few more days until the three month deadline between His Majesty and his husband. At that time, if our husband is promoted, do we have any guests attending the banquet?” Saying that, Dong Shu thought for a moment before continuing: ”Recently, my family has received many posts, just that Empress also said that I should not have anyone invite me, so I don't know what to do right now.”

”When you receive the post, bring it to me. Although some people are still related to us, they haven't moved around in these years.” Old Madame Xu knew that after her daughter-in-law was bestowed the title of village ruler, many people, who had almost stopped interacting with her Xu Family, had now sent her posts.

In these people's homes, if possible, Old Madame Xu naturally did not want to bother with them.

However, before they decided on their next course of action, they had to take a look. If these people didn't have a team at home, there was a reason why they were able to get away from them.

Even though they weren't that close, they still had to pay attention to their reputation.

This time, although Old Madame Xu didn't explain it too clearly, she had told Dong Shu everything before.

Dong Shu took Old Madame Xu's instructions and engraved them in her heart, preparing to follow her mother-in-law's instructions in the future.

At the same time, the palace was also bustling with noise and excitement.

Those who were well-informed knew that the matter regarding the Third Prince Residence was the doing of the Empress Hu.

What made people even more baffled was that even after such an incident had occurred, after a long time, the voice of the Emperor Ruikang could not be heard from within the palace, berating or punishing the Empress.

On the other hand, Third Prince had just been ruthlessly scolded by his eldest son, Ye Rong.

”Idiot, I wouldn't even tell on you!” Emperor Ruikang threw the envelope in his hand towards Ye Jingche. Seeing that he had lowered his head to pick up the envelope, he then continued to speak: ”Take a careful look, what exactly did you send over to us?”

The Emperor Ruikang scolded Ye Jingche until he was a little dazed. He was actually quite familiar with the envelope in front of his eyes; it was precisely the one which he had thought of ways to send it to the palace after the Sixth Prince had sent it into his residence.

Ye Jingche did not understand why the Emperor Ruikang scolded him until he opened the letter and saw that the letter was as white as new.

”Royal Father, this …” Ye Jingche suddenly didn't know what to say. He clearly remembered that the letter Old Sixth wrote to him saying that it was the Empress's doing.

But now, why was it gone?

After being stunned for a moment, Ye Jingche finally regained his senses and looked at Emperor Ruikang: ”Royal Father, this son really saw some words on this paper yesterday.” Then, Ye Jingche shook his head as he saw Emperor Ruikang looking at him in disappointment. He suddenly continued with bloodshot eyes: ”Royal Father, Ol'sixth schemed against me! When Ol'sixth delivered this letter to me yesterday, it did indeed have words on it. ”

Emperor Ruikang's head hurt even more when he heard that there was actually the matter of the Sixth Prince.

”Enough, don't bring up this matter again. Regardless of whether you were tricked or not, you should stay in the mansion and meditate during this period. Teach your son. ”

Emperor Ruikang sounded very tired, and didn't want to talk to Ye Jingche anymore.

However, Ye Jingche was unwilling to leave just like that. He had clearly seen the words on the letter yesterday, but he didn't see it today.

He wasn't willing to let Royal Father see him like this, so he didn't know what to think, nor did he greet Emperor Ruikang.

Seeing his actions, Emperor Ruikang was so angry that he covered his chest, not knowing what to say.

After Ye Jingche pulled the Sixth Prince, who was waiting outside, into the great hall, the Emperor Ruikang closed his eyes and revealed a look of reluctance to speak.

Ye Jingde was pulling Ye Jingde along leisurely. When he saw Emperor Ruikang, he could still calmly pay respects.

As for Ye Jingche, when he saw that Ye Jingde was not afraid at all, he immediately opened his mouth and said angrily: ”Old Sixth, what is the meaning of believing this?”
