Because of this matter, the Fifth Prince Palace and the Xu Family had been discussing for a long time.

The most direct person to do this was the Madame Ye in the Xu Family Room.

If this was according to Madame Ye's usual personality, she really wouldn't bother about this matter.

But who told him to marry into the Ye Family? Ye Jingxing, who was about to ascend to the throne, was not only his cousin, but also his husband's sister and uncle's son.

Although Madame Ye had a cold personality, she treated her children sincerely.

She knew that her own children could have relied on her father to promote them. However, in the future, they could only count on Ye Jingxing, her uncle.

Thus, on the fifteenth day of the first month of the Lantern Festival, she took the opportunity to visit her own father in the Prince Duan Palace and brought up this matter.

In terms of Xu Family, other than the Xu Shiqiu couple, there was also Xu Nuanwen and Ye Jingxing. Most probably, only she guessed that the man who lived in Xu Yanzhu's courtyard was her son, the eldest son, Ye Yan, from the Crown Prince's Cousin.

Although this matter was kept from the family, Madame Ye was, after all, the eldest wife of the Xu Family. There were some things that could be kept from others, but it might not be able to keep from her.

Hence, after leaving the Xu Family house, she pondered for a while, and then took the chance to see the Prince Duan tonight.

After seeing Prince Duan, he naturally did not mention anything about Yan Ye. He only spoke about the hatred between and his Xu Family seriously.

”Father, what exactly happened that year, others may not be clear about it, but you definitely know about it. Xu Family has suffered for so many years, and this time, you can clearly see your enemies getting their retribution, but now, there's another rumor. ” In the entire Prince Duan Palace, he was the only one who dared to call the Prince Duan 'father', and not 'father'.

It just so happened that Prince Duan liked her as an eldest daughter. It was not only because she was her first child, but also because Madame Ye had lost her mother since she was young, and was sensible enough to take care of her sister-in-law.

Hearing Madame Ye's words, Prince Duan also let out a long sigh.

The news had already reached outside the palace, so how could he not know?

He didn't want to guess whether this was true or false, but hearing his eldest daughter's words, he also understood the meaning of Xu Family.

Xu Family, Ye Jingche and the Liu Family, the current situation was' if you don't die, then I die '. And it just so happened that on this matter, he did not manage to find any traces of Xu Family trying to scheme against Ye Jingche, so the current situation that Ye Jingche was in, was precisely because he himself had the Liu Family as well as the Zheng Family.

Xu Family could choose not to take the initiative to plot against the prince because of his loyalty to the monarch, but if the prince really did do something wrong, Xu Family would definitely add insult to injury and seek revenge.

In this matter, the Prince Duan really could not say that his Xu Family was wrong.

If it were him, he probably wouldn't be better off than Xu Family, and might even take the initiative to extend his hand and do something.

It was because he had these thoughts in his heart, in the end, under the expectant gaze of his eldest daughter, he nodded and said, ”Don't worry, father is not a fool. No matter what your royal uncle thinks, father will definitely act according to the law.”

After receiving her own father's promise, Madame Ye could be considered to be half relieved.

Since they had come to the Prince Duan Palace, the Madame Ye would naturally not only mention this one thing, she had also casually mentioned the matter of's marriage.

”Father, uncle Huang's body …” Speaking to here, the Madame Ye paused for a moment, then continued: ”I am not speaking nonsense, but Yanhao is not small, and the engagement was delayed for a long time. The date of the marriage was long discussed with the Zhang Family, please do not …”

Madame Ye had not finished speaking, but Prince Duan understood her meaning.

His eldest daughter's character was very clear to him, and he knew that she viewed his children as important. Thus, in the end, he looked at her and nodded, ”The day you have chosen is very good, so just wait for your wife to drink her tea in peace.”

With her father's words, Madame Ye could finally heave a sigh of relief.

However, the Madame Ye did not know that there were some things that were unexpected.

The Madame Ye took advantage of the Spring Lantern Festival to visit their parents' home. The other women were not idle either, and as for the men, they naturally contacted many people tonight.

However, because it was the Spring Lantern Festival, the capital city was already bustling with noise and excitement. The commotion caused by them did not attract too much attention.

After all, after today, the new year would be over. Taking advantage of this last day, it was very normal for people to become more lively.

Therefore, no matter how much commotion there was outside the palace, the palace did not receive any news.

Of course, the most important reason was that Prince Duan, who was in charge of this matter, pretended to be mute.

16th of January

The first meeting of the Grand Examination after the opening of the year was just as everyone had predicted. Not only did they discuss a few major matters, they even discussed them from the beginning of the morning until the end of the evening.

Even though he had already prepared himself in advance, the women who were waiting at home for their men to arrive were still anxious, afraid that something would happen to their man during today's assembly.

Dong Shu was also one of them.

Although she had Old Madame Xu's advice, Dong Shu could feel that Old Madame Xu was similarly worried. How could she possibly relax?

When it was almost noon, before the palace had even dispersed, Dong Shu looked at Old Madame Xu and asked worriedly: Mother, do you think that we can fulfill our wish in today's assembly?

Old Madame Xu's heart was in a mess right now. She had wanted to console Dong Shu, but when she didn't have her son and didn't hear any news, she knew that she was in a really bad mood today.
