”Princess, Esteemed Empress Dowager invites you!”

Unexpectedly, not long after they arrived at the palace, a palace maid came over to invite Ban Xia.

However, for the time being, Qian Yexun did not hold her in the slightest.

”Come, your name is Ban Xia, right? Quickly sit beside This Dowager!” When Empress Dowager Xi saw Ban Xia, he was overjoyed and extremely passionate.

But this happiness and enthusiasm, made Ban Xia somewhat unable to bear it.

But this was in the palace, this was their territory, Ban Xia restrained her temper and sat down beside Esteemed Empress Dowager.

Empress Dowager Xi held her small hands and praised her again, praising her how beautiful he was, his skin was like snow and it was inevitable that he would exclaim out loud, lamenting how he was old and decrepit. Only then did he pretend to discover that Ban Xia's' clothes were not tidy '.

”Oh? Your skirt … How did you do that? Ahh, why is there blood on it? Are you injured?”

Ban Xia looked at her nose and her heart, she did not believe that Esteemed Empress Dowager, this old man, had already lost consciousness. She had been in here for so long, and this Esteemed Empress Dowager had held her back for so long, yet she only discovered her abnormality?

It was most likely an act. As for what intentions they had, it was not easy to guess.

”Back to the Esteemed Empress Dowager, when this subject's wife entered the palace, she met with an assassination together with the prince. The injury on my wife's arm was caused by the assassin's sword …” Ban Xia deliberately replied with a panicked expression.

”What, an assassination?” ”Who did this? Did you guys catch him alive or not? This is really the Imperial City. These assassins dared to make a move under the Emperor's feet, they really deserve to die!” Empress Dowager Xi was clearly angry.

Ban Xia shook her head in fear, ”No, I think I captured two survivors. I was sent by my trusted followers to interrogate them, and I don't know if the results of the interrogation. At that time, my wife was quite frightened and was injured, so she didn't ask about this.”

She intentionally left a trail of suspense, not mentioning that the two assassins she caught were already dead.

She wanted to verify whether the assassination had anything to do with the palace.

”Really?” Then how about you get injured, how about Xun Er, and how about he be fine? ” The Empress Dowager Xi changed the topic of conversation and turned to Qian Yexun.

”The Prince, he … ”After suffering some bumps and bruises, he was still struggling on the way back to his original wound.” This time, Ban Xia did not exaggerate at all.

After experiencing such an assassination, it would be strange if he was fine.

”Little girl, don't be afraid. When we get back, I will definitely ask the Emperor to investigate this thoroughly and give you and Xun Er an explanation!” Empress Dowager Xi lightly patted Ban Xia's small hands and comforted her.

”Oh right, are you able to adapt to everything after marrying me? In the palace, is there anything you need? If so, feel free to tell This Dowager! In the past, they were always fighting on the battlefield, and his mother had also lived a long time, there was no one who could take care of him in the palace, but now, this one believes that you, little girl, will take care of everything in the palace. Oh right, when are you going to add on a grandson for This Dowager? ”

This was the first time she was being 'stimulated', and it made her feel extremely uncomfortable.

It wasn't wrong that they were a newlywed couple, but they didn't even have a bridal ceremony, nor did they even have a basic intimacy with each other. How were they going to have children like this?

However, when it came to having children, this was something that she had never even thought about before.

In her previous life, she was a female assassin, so she only had one mission to complete.

”Esteemed Empress Dowager, this isn't something that a wife can decide and accomplish by herself …” The implied meaning was that urging her on was useless, because if someone did not cooperate, then it was completely useless.

”I know Xun Er, that child, has his heart set on national affairs. He has truly troubled him these past few years! However, the matter of the nation's affairs and its family, in This Dowager's view, is not contradictory. If there's a chance in the future, This Dowager will definitely find him and properly discuss it! ”

Empress Dowager Xi held Ban Xia's hand and chatted for a long time.

Ban Xia did not like chatting like this, it was practically suffering, but she had to wait patiently.

The banquet within the palace was held at the Hall of Purging.

Although it was called a palace banquet, there weren't many people invited by the Emperor.

When he arrived at the Qingfu Hall, Ban Xia realized that there were no serious ministers present at the banquet, so it could be considered a normal 'family banquet'.

After separating for a long time, Ban Xia finally had the chance to sit next to her husband at the banquet.

However, his countenance grew even more unsightly.

Perhaps it was because he had exhausted all of his mental and physical strength while dealing with the Emperor.

For a seriously injured patient like him, the best way to recuperate was to properly recuperate in the residence. He was not used to going out, as well as having all sorts of ups and downs.

”Come, I am happy today. Today's banquet can be considered to be specially set up for the Prince Feather. The last time he came back, he was heavily injured and needed treatment and recuperation, so I never had the chance to thank him properly in front of him.”

Qian Yeli was the first to raise the wine cup in front of her, expressing her sincerity.

Qian Yexun who was seated below had no choice but to bite the bullet and pick up the cup in front of him.

How could he, an official of the emperor, dare not drink the wine that the emperor had bestowed upon him?

Even if his body didn't allow it, he still had to drink.

A small hand reached out at the right time and stopped him from drinking. While he was still in a daze, it took away the wine cup in his hand.

”To return to the emperor, a seriously injured patient is not allowed to drink alcohol. This was personally instructed by the imperial physician. If you really want to drink it, then this concubine will drink this cup of wine for him right here! ” After saying that, Ban Xia had already picked up the cup of wine that he had snatched away, and after muttering a few words, he raised his head and gulped it down.
