ALL NOVEL Chapter 536
Xu Qiniang was Xu Qilang's wife. When Mu Mingtang stayed at the Xu family's residence, the whole family was worried about the fact that the youngest son was not engaged. At that time, he was very carefree and light-spirited, so no one expected him to wed a gentle and quiet lady. Mu Mingtang knew Xu Qiniang's temperament, so she didn't induce her to talk either. Xu Wuniang merely asked about the preparations and let out a sigh of relief, "I think that there is no problem. If there is anything that you require, just let us know and we'll help out anytime."
Of course Mu Mingtang responded with a smile. In fact, there were so many workers in the palace that she did not need help from outsiders. However, this was the Xu family's good intentions after all, so she naturally would not refuse them outright.
Relieved after Xu Wuniang finished asking the serious questions, she started talking about everyday occurrences, "Where is His Highness? For a child who clings to you all the time, I'm quite surprised that he's not around you."
Although the enthronement ceremony was tomorrow, Mu Mingtang's family had already moved to the palace and they were known as the royal family both inside and outside the palace. Xie Xuanchen and Mu Mingtang only have one son, Xie Changan, so everyone started to address him by his title.
"He's sleeping in the back," Speaking of Xie Changan, Mu Mingtang also felt an impending headache, "He was so active that it was difficult to coax him to sleep. Please just let me relax for the moment."
When it came to children, it seemed like everyone would become a chatterbox almost automatically. Xu Wuniang said with a smile, "Boys are really very playful. He's merely 5 years old now, so just wait till he's 7 or 8 and he'll give you a field day."
Just by using her imagination, Mu Mingtang could guess the gist of the situation. Perhaps it was due to her loud sigh of stress that the usually silent Xu Qiniang started to speak her mind, "His Highness inherited the innate talent of martial arts and strength from His Majesty, so it's natural for the boy to be a bit more active. Once he becomes older and is capable of controlling his own strength, things will be better from then."
Mu Mingtang could only answer with doubt, "I hope so."
Xu Wuniang then asked, "There was war and instability throughout the years but now that there is peace, His Majesty is also able to leave the battlefield and isn't urgently needed all the time. When are you planning to have another daughter?"
Mu Mingtang was also somewhat interested. In fact, she had always wanted a daughter, but Xie Xuanchen seemed to be somewhat traumatised by her last pregnancy and had been reluctant to have another child. Though, initially, he was the one who wanted his children to have siblings.
These thoughts went through Mu Mingtang's mind for a while before she finally suppressed them and did not reveal them to outsiders. After that, Mu Mingtang and Xu Wuniang continued talking for a while. It was then that Xu Wuniang suddenly remembered something, "I almost forgot. A few days ago, a remaining captive of the Southern Ye Dynasty was captured. It seems to be a Noble Consort that was named…"
When Mu Mingtang heard it, she immediately completed the name, "Wan Yanduo."
"Yes, Wan Yanduo," Xu Wuniang said, "I just remember that it was a foreign name since it was incredibly difficult to remember. But yes, she is the one. I heard that the Southern Emperor died because of her?"
