Yuan Yin saw Xu Ruyan's expression through Xu Feng's body; it was exactly the same as Xu Feng's.
She smiled and said to Xu Feng, "Why is Madam calling me 'Your Highness' again? Didn't we agree that you could just call me by my name?"
Seeing this, Xu Feng's smile widened, and his tone softened slightly, "Okay, okay, Yin Yin, is that alright?"
Xu Ruyan was left watching the two of them with a seemingly 'troubled' expression, as if he was annoyed that Xu Feng had disturbed him and Yuan Yin, but in reality, his eyes were full of happiness.
Seeing this scene, Chen Xiao and Xi Xi thought in unison, "Wow, the mother-in-law and daughter-in-law are so familiar with each other, so sweet!"
Then they turned their attention to the other side, to a group of people whose relationships seemed slightly complicated.
Xu Ruyu and Xu Jinshu did not exchange many words. Xu Ruyu simply said to Xu Jinshu naturally, "His Majesty treats me very well. Mother, you can rest assured."
Chen Xiao and Xu Jinshu "..."
No, it seems Xu Jinshu doesn't care about this matter.
Although Xu Jinshu is a rather elegant person, she has become more lively since Xu Ruyu came into her life, simply because Xu Ruyu can be quite unsettling at times.
For example, right now.
Xu Jinshu glanced at Xu Ruyu, who was blatantly lying, and then, as he pleased, turned his gaze to Chen Xiao and said gently, "His Majesty is an extremely good person, so it's normal for him to treat you well. You should treat His Majesty even better."
Xu Ruyu nodded very obediently, "That's natural. Currently, His Majesty's harem only has three people left. As the person with the highest rank in the harem, I will naturally do my best to manage the harem for His Majesty."
Chen Xiao and Xu Jinshu "......."
No, who asked that again?
Xu Jinshu finally showed a hint of disdain in her eyes, as if accusing, "How did you change like this after entering the palace?" But her tone was still gentle, though the content of her words was somewhat hurtful.
She slowly said, "Hmm, I heard that Che Yu is also in the harem, right? You should take good care of Che Yu. That child is so innocent and lovable, unlike you."
Chen Xiao listened to the conversation between the mother and son, which truly broadened her horizons.
It turns out that this seemingly gentle and refined beauty, after having such a son, will become not much different from her son.
It really broadened her horizons.
Xu Ruyu maintained his ( ) tone and directly used his trump card to end the match. He said calmly, "Mother, you can rest assured. His Majesty said that he loves me the most."
Chen Xiao and Xu Jinshu "......."
Wait, buddy, is this starting at 0 frames?
Xu Jinshu was defeated by Xu Ruyu. She smiled gently (perfunctorily) at Xu Ruyu before saying to Chen Xiao, "Your Majesty has really worked hard."
Xu Qian, who had been listening to the whole thing, then joined in, saying, "Yes, Your Majesty works hard on state affairs. With Che Yu and Consort Chen by your side when you go to Xunyang, I can rest assured."
Okay, Xu Ruyu has started to be double-teamed. He seems to have been defeated by his parents and stopped talking about the topic, but in reality, he hasn't given up. He looks at Xu Jinshu and asks with feigned curiosity, "Where are the two Aunt Xins? Do they not want to see anyone?"
Kill Xu Qian.
He pressed his advantage, saying, "I remember my mother had a camellia that she cultivated for several years, but it seems to have withered?"
Xu Jinshu was killed twice.
He looked at his parents and finally said softly, "It's been a long time since I've seen my father and mother together at the same time."
Three kills against Xu Qian and Xu Jinshu.
Chen Xiao saw Xu Jinshu and Xu Qian exchange a glance, fall silent, and then stop talking to Xu Ruyu.
Xu Ruyu finally had time to continue talking to Chen Xiao alone.
After mentally criticizing Xu Ruyu, Xu Qian asked Xu Jinshu in a low voice, "Are Hengyan and the others alright?"
Xu Jinshu shook her head and replied, "They're fine, they're just the same as always, they don't like seeing strangers."
Of the five women, Xu Qian clearly cared most about the Xin sisters. He hadn't seen his wives for several months, but upon meeting them, he first inquired about Xin Hengyan and Xin Yao.
Xu Qian hummed in agreement and said, "That's good."
Then the two stopped talking. Only Ming Zhanhe, who was sitting on the other side of Xu Qian, was chatting enthusiastically with Zhao Siyuan. Zhao Siyuan looked at her with eyes full of affection.
Xu Qin knew that Ming Zhanhe's attraction to Zhao Siyuan was no less than the rumors that "Zhao Siyuan admires Xu Qian" back then.
But he still watched the two chat calmly.
Xu Qian was sandwiched between his wife and concubine, yet he didn't speak to either of them, which puzzled Chen Xiao and Xi Xi.
Xi Xi went through the records of the Night Dynasty again and realized that something was wrong, but it was too long, so she decided to tell Chen Xiao when she returned to the palace.
Chen Xiao had no choice but to suppress his curiosity and secretly observe Ming Zhanhe, who was chatting with Zhao Siyuan.
Despite her attire being completely out of place with the environment, coupled with her carefree personality and casual tone, Ming Zhanhe got along extremely well with Zhao Siyuan.
Following Chen Xiao's gaze, Xu Ruyu realized that Chen Xiao was paying close attention to Ming Zhanhe, his eyes filled with intense interest.
He nodded knowingly and said to Chen Xiao, "Aunt Ming is easygoing and has a very elegant and carefree demeanor. Such a person is indeed very interesting."
Chen Xiao indeed turned his gaze to Xu Ruyu and asked curiously, "I heard that she was the first to enter the mansion and also the Prime Minister's first concubine. How does the Prime Minister treat her?"
Xu Ruyu glanced at Xu Qian very quickly, then honestly told Chen Xiao, "So-so."
Chen Xiao exclaimed "Ah?" with some disbelief, "Why? If Madam Ming is so special, what about the other ladies? How does the Prime Minister treat them?"
Xu Ruyu didn't look at Xu Qian this time, but answered directly, "They're all so-so. The ones I care about the most are the two Aunt Xin who didn't come this time, but I only asked them a few questions."
Chen Xiao was somewhat surprised, and she inadvertently blurted out her inner thoughts, "So there are two wives! The Prime Minister is really too..."
Realizing she had spoken aloud, she quickly swallowed her unfinished words and looked at Xu Ruyu.
Xu Ruyu found it amusing to see her like this.
In his eyes, Chen Xiao's face, which still had a touch of childishness, was now slightly flushed.
Her bright eyes were filled with embarrassment as she looked at him shyly.
He smiled slightly, looking at Chen Xiao quietly, his eyes full of undisguised joy.
However, deep in his heart, a slight stirring of emotion quietly arose.
The feeling of being moved was like a spring breeze brushing across a lake, disturbing the calm of his heart and softening his gaze.
Although he knew that Xu Qian and the women were not actually married, only he, as someone not directly involved, knew this. If Xu Qian did not bring it up, he would not spread the news around.
Even though he was now somewhat moved by Chen Xiao's cuteness.
He said softly, "It's normal for my father to be busy. Isn't His Majesty the same? He hasn't come to my palace in a long time."
"puff!"
