Except for Mr. He's punishment of An Xi, no other accidents occurred at the Dong family's banquet. At the end of the day, the guests and the host were enjoying themselves.

After dinner, Mrs. Dong sent the female family members away, then helped Mrs. Dong back to the yard, and chatted about what happened at today's banquet.

Mrs. Dong drank tea and sighed: "My daughter-in-law is becoming more and more useless now. After a banquet, she feels like her bones are falling apart."

Mrs. Dong smiled and glanced at her daughter-in-law: "You, hurry up and marry Yuan Xuan. Once you have a daughter-in-law, you will be able to relax."

Mrs. Dong put down the teacup: "We have held several banquets at home. Does mother have anyone she cares about?"

The smile on Mrs. Dong's face faded a little, and she said with dissatisfaction: "The girls from the local official's family are pretty good in appearance and tutoring, but their family backgrounds are a little worse, and some of them are not worthy of our Yongjia Marquis Mansion.

."

Mrs. Dong: "...Mom, the title of the Marquis Mansion will be inherited by the eldest brother in the future. It has nothing to do with our house. My daughter-in-law thinks we can lower the family status requirements a little."

Mrs. Dong immediately said with disapproval: "How is this possible? It's just because your family cannot inherit the title, so you have to find a noble family. Yuan Xuan can also have help in the future."

Mrs. Dong doesn't particularly value family status, but she also thinks the old lady's words make sense. Marrying a daughter-in-law from a high-ranking family will make it much easier for her son in the future.

Mrs. Dong was silent for a moment: "Don't worry, if we can't choose the place well, we will go back to the capital to make the choice. Last year I wrote a letter back and asked your aunt to help me see each other."

Mrs. Dong nodded and talked about Mr. He's punishment of An Xi.

After hearing this, Mrs. Dong sneered: "The He family is really capable of causing trouble at other families' banquets. Do you really think that they can ignore our family if they are transferred to the capital? The He family is quite powerful locally.

But when they get to the capital, what do they mean? I hope they won’t be able to ask for our favor in the future.”

Mrs. Dong quickly said: "There is really no need for mother to be angry about this kind of thing. Let's just treat it as a joke." After saying that, she smiled and said, "I really like that girl Yiyi. If it weren't for her today,

He and Shiyu are helping Yuan Yao, and there’s no telling how big a fuss will be made.”

Mrs. Dong's expression also softened: "The eldest girl from the Yan family is really good."

Mrs. Dong's eyes flashed and she asked tentatively: "Mom, what do you think if I tell Yuan Xuan about Yiyi?"

Outside the door, Dong Yuanxuan, who came to see his mother for something, was just about to enter when he heard these words. His heart was shocked. He couldn't help but stop his steps and stood silently outside the door, listening to what was said inside.

Mrs. Dong frowned and looked at her daughter-in-law: "How could you have such an idea?"

Mrs. Dong smiled and said: "My daughter-in-law really likes that girl Yi Yi. She is refreshing, generous and capable. She started helping Mrs. Li with the housekeeping a few years ago. She gets along well with Yuan Yao and Yuan Xuan as well.

We have known each other since we were young and know the basics..."

Dong Yuanxuan outside the door listened to these words, his eyes became brighter and brighter, and the joy on his face could not be suppressed, causing the boy standing aside to look at him several times.

However, Mrs. Dong in the room interrupted Mrs. Dong.

"The Yan family's family background is too low. If you marry their family, let alone help Yuan Xuan, you might have to rely on Yuan Xuan to help them. No way."

Outside the door, Dong Yuanxuan frowned when he heard Mrs. Dong's categorical refusal, and walked in without holding back.

Seeing Dong Yuanxuan, Mrs. Dong and Mrs. Dong were both a little surprised.

Mrs. Dong asked: "Have all the guests in the front yard been sent away?"

Dong Yuanxuan nodded. After entering the door, he calmed down, calmed down his mind, walked to the side with a smile and sat down: "I came here just to see my grandmother and mother. The banquet is so busy today, aren't you tired?"<

/p>

The grandson was filial, and Mrs. Dong suddenly smiled and narrowed her eyes: "No matter how tired it is, as long as it can help you choose a daughter-in-law you like, no matter how tired it is, your mother and I will be happy."

Seeing their son's embarrassed expression, Mrs. Dong and Mrs. Dong both laughed.

After the two of them laughed for a while, Dong Yuanxuan asked: "What were grandma and mother just talking about?"

Mrs. Dong glanced at Old Mrs. Dong and said with a smile: "Nothing, I just told you about Yiyi's rescue of your sister today."

Hearing this, Dong Yuanxuan's eyes flashed, and he struggled a little in his heart. He knew that the young prince liked Sister Yan, but he still wanted to fight for himself.

After all, he can't make the decision on the young prince's marriage, and Sister Yan can't be his concubine, so if he wants to marry Sister Yan, he doesn't feel sorry for the young prince.

After hesitating for a moment, Dong Yuanxuan said with a smile: "Sister Yan and my sister are on good terms, and the two of them have always been inseparable." After that, he pretended to be casual.

"Speaking of it, the Yan family has grown up really fast these years. I think when I first met the Yan family brothers and sisters, Mr. Yan was just a county magistrate. Now just a few years have passed. Not only has Mr. Yan become the prefect, but also the magistrate.

Mrs. Yan and Mrs. Li are both Mrs. Gaoming."

"After passing the examination for literary studies, I started to work with Master Xiao. Today my father took the examination for literary studies and praised him several times, saying that he would definitely be a good candidate to be an official in the future."

Mrs. Dong glanced at her son and looked a little surprised. Her son rarely talked to them about such things. What happened today?

Thinking of what she had just discussed with her mother-in-law, Mrs. Dong's heart moved. Did her son hear their conversation and fall in love with Yiyi?

Thinking of this, Mrs. Dong smiled and followed her son's words and said: "The Yan family has indeed developed well in recent years."

Mrs. Dong was not very interested. She just said: "If a family wants to go forward in the long run, it depends on whether the descendants are promising. You can't tell anything just by looking at the present."

Dong Yuanxuan smiled and said: "Grandma, of course the Yan family brothers are going to be successful. Not to mention Wenxiu, there are Wen Kai and Wen Tao. Now they are also working with the young prince. They will have a bright future."

Mrs. Dong shook her head: "Little Prince... After Concubine Ma is righted, his own future is still uncertain, let alone those who follow him?"

Dong Yuanxuan raised his eyebrows: "No way. Although the relationship between the young prince and Prince Heping is not very close, the emperor is still very good to him. Besides, the young prince is the legitimate son of his wife, and Concubine Ma is only the step-mother even if she is supported. Xiao Ye

Is it possible that Chen can still compete with the young prince for the title of prince?"

Mrs. Dong looked at her grandson with disapproval: "You are still too young. People in the royal family always put their interests first. The emperor may have some love for the young prince, but this love is nothing in the face of the balance of interests.

?"

"Also, don't underestimate the woman in the backyard. Concubine Ma was able to force Princess Guo away and made it difficult for the young prince to live in the palace. Now when people in the capital mention the young prince, almost all of them still think of it as a bad thing.

From the impression, you can imagine how powerful her methods are."

"Before, when there was no righting, the concubines on the side of the horse fought so fiercely. What's more, now that the title is justified, just wait and see, Prince Ping's title is worth fighting for."

As he spoke, he shook his head.

"Now that the young prince is in Zhongzhou, he can still have some leisure time. If he returns to Beijing, huh, there will definitely be trouble."

"This man's energy is limited. He is entangled in all kinds of things. How can you expect him to have a good future?"

Dong Yuanxuan was silent: "Grandma, you don't understand the young prince. If you really want to return to Beijing, Concubine Ma will not be able to slander the young prince like she did when she was a child."
