The incident of Song Wanyue and Song Si donating the one million taels of silver that the third prince compensated to the Ministry of War quickly spread throughout the capital.

Concubine Shu and the third prince naturally knew it. Concubine Shu was so angry that she smashed a vase, and the third prince was so angry that she vomited blood.

The people from the Xu family naturally heard it. The old man stroked his beard and showed his first comfortable smile in these days, "Yue'er did a good job."

He didn't want to speculate on the emperor's thoughts. But one million taels are not a small amount. The emperor asked the third prince to pay compensation. On the surface, it was to give Song Wanyue's kindness, but in fact it pushed her and the Song family to the forefront...

Mr. Xu Er nodded in praise, and no one of them expected that Song Wanyue would donate the money.

He said, "Since the third prince has been punished, Yue'er must go back too."

The old man's smile fell and called Xu Liang in, asking him to clean up his clothes, "bring the winter things to use."

"Father……"

Mr. Xu Er was worried.

The old man waved his hand, "I am very strong and there will be nothing in three to five years. Even if there is anything, Yue'er knows medical skills, so you don't have to worry. The Xu family will leave it to you and Yan'er in the future. You must remember your great... His lessons are not done that is detrimental to morality."

Mr. Xu Er and Xu Yan stood up, "The son (grandson) has written it down."

Xu Liang quickly walked in from outside, "Old sir, someone is coming from the palace."

The old man was slightly stunned, then stood up and came out with Mr. Xu Er and Xu Yan.

Eunuch Huang happened to enter the yard. When he saw the old man coming out, he quickly walked forward a few steps, "Old man."

"Eunuch Huang, you are kind to you, I wonder what the emperor's will do?"

"The Emperor announced that you and Young Master Xu Yan entered the palace."

"Please wait for Eunuch Huang, Yan'er and I will change our clothes and go to the palace with you."

Eunuch Huang nodded.

Mr. Xu Er took Eunuch Huang to the reception room for tea.

The old man signaled Xu Yan to follow him into the inner room, and said while changing his clothes, "Just as soon as Yue'er donated the silver, the emperor announced that you and I will enter the palace. I must have wanted to take the opportunity to win over you and may let you enter the court. Remember that our Xu family has always been clear and does not get involved in the struggles in the court. No matter what the emperor has rewarded today, you will refuse to do your best to do your own knowledge."

Xu Yan should be.

The old man asked him to go back and change his clothes.

The two of them changed and followed Eunuch Huang into the palace.

The emperor smiled and gave the old man a seat, "Sir, your great-granddaughter is really beyond my expectations."

"To be honest with the emperor, we didn't expect that when we heard about it, we were shocked. She didn't even tell us such a big thing."

"It's not only that. I want to put the pill business in the name of the court. She is not happy about anything, just as if I'm afraid I'll steal her money."

The old man smiled when he heard this, "That girl is still young and I don't know the emperor's love. If she regrets it in the future."

"I also agreed to her with a condition that I can allow her as long as it is not a murder or arson."

The old man stood up and gave a big gift to the emperor, "Thank you for your kindness to Yue'er."

After the emperor signaled the old man to sit down, he gave Eunuch Huang a wink. Eunuch Huang turned around and went out, and soon brought the fourth prince in.

The fourth prince is four years old this year. He looks like Empress Xiao Xian. When he enters the door, he salutes the emperor in a regular manner, "Father."

"This is the old man."

The fourth prince turned around and saluted the old man again, "I have met the old man."

The old man stood up and returned the greeting, "Fourth Prince."

The fourth prince moved his small body slightly to the side to avoid his courtesy.

The emperor saw it.

"Your Madam, don't be polite to him. I'm going to ask you to the palace today because I want to discuss something with you."

"Prince, please speak."

"I want to ask Xu Yan to be Feng'er's teacher."

"this……"

"Sir, don't be too busy refusing. Listen to me after I finish my words. Feng'er is four years old this year, and at the age of enlightenment. I have thought about it and think that only Xu Yan is suitable. First, because he was taught by you, both knowledge and vision; second, he has traveled abroad over the years, and what he has seen and learned must be more extensive than those in Beijing, which can teach Feng'er. The most important thing is that I don't want him to repeat Yi'er's mistakes. Your Xu family has always been clear and I hope Feng'er can learn these."

The old man naturally didn't want to. What he feared most was that he had something to do with the emperor. If a prince competes for the throne in the future, they would not be able to stay out of it. "Your Majesty, in those years, Yan'er said he was traveling, but in fact he was looking for Wan'er. He had lost much knowledge and was not enough to become the third prince's teacher."

"The old man is humble. I know what Xu Yan's knowledge is. I also ask the old man not to refuse. Even if it is not for my sake, it depends on the face of Duke Ding. Could it be that you want me to call Duke Ding to beg you?"

"The emperor is so serious."

"The old man just agreed. I have seen the calendar. The eighth day of the eighth month is a good day, so I will hold the apprenticeship ceremony on that day."

...

After coming out of the palace, the old man and Xu Yan got on the carriage with a serious expression. No one spoke along the way. When they arrived at the doorstep, they had just got off the carriage, Song Wanyue and Song Si also happened to be in the carriage.

After Song Wanyue called out, seeing that the two of them looked bad, she helped the old man walk in and asked, "What are the great-grandfather and uncle doing?"

"I've entered the palace."

Song Wanyue paused, and without saying much, she helped the old man back to the house and sat down, and said, "Your Majesty is it difficult for you?"

The old man sighed, "That would be great if he was in a dilemma. The emperor asked your uncle to be the master of the fourth prince."

The Fourth Prince?

Song Wanyue was silent, "Then have you agreed?"

The old man sighed again. If the emperor wanted Xu Yan to enter the court today, he had a way to refuse, but he could not refuse Xu Yan as the teacher of the Fourth Prince.

Xu Liang brought the tea in, Song Wanyue took it and handed it to the old man, "This may not be a bad thing, and my great-grandfather doesn't have to worry so much."

"You are still young and don't know some things. If the Xu family keeps studying and does not ask about affairs in the court, they can stand firm. But once they are involved in the imperial power, they will be in an instant."

"You are too worried. Not to mention that the Fourth Prince is still young and has no chance to compete for the throne. Just saying that he is the grandson of Duke Ding, the Xu family will not be put in danger because of him in the future."

The old man did not comment.

The royal family has always been indifferent, so what if they are the grandson of Duke Ding? How could they not take a try when faced with the temptation of that position one day?

"Forget it, let's not talk about this anymore. Come on, Yi'er, you play chess with your great-grandfather."

The old man finished speaking and the house was silent.
