The regent is determined to get the daughter of a minor official.

After the brothers finished their distribution, they felt like a huge burden had been lifted from their hearts.

Chu Musheng sent the eunuchs in the palace to send the two men and the dog to the residences of the three of them respectively.

Afterwards, they went to the theater to watch a play with the Empress Dowager and others.

Chu Musheng walked over to Xu Keke and sat down, then took the young master from the Empress Dowager and held him in his arms.

The young master was watching a play intently when he was suddenly hugged by someone else.

When he turned around and saw that it was his father, he immediately smiled and called out softly.

"Daddy."

Chu Musheng touched the young master's head lovingly with a smile on his face.

Xu Ke looked at the father and son.

They really look alike, Xuan'er is a smaller version of Chu Mucheng.

No wonder everyone in the mansion said that the young master looked very much like the prince.

There was singing on the stage, and the people below were immersed in the lively atmosphere.

The Empress Dowager exchanged a few words with the concubines around her from time to time, her face filled with joy.

He seemed not to care much about the loss of the female doctor.

After a while, the young master twisted in Chu Musheng's arms, mumbling:

"Daddy, I want to eat some fruit."

Chu Musheng responded softly, then signaled the eunuch beside him to get ready.

The eunuch quickly brought a plate of fresh fruit.

The young master couldn't wait to reach out to grab it, but Chu Musheng held his little hand.

She carefully cut the fruit into small pieces and fed them to him, not forgetting to feed Xu Keke a piece as well.

The Empress Dowager turned to look at them and said with a smile.

"Look at Sheng'er's family, it really makes people happy."

Everyone agreed.

The Prince Regent and the Princess Royal are a model of a loving royal couple, the envy of several other princesses.

Prince Rui was also sitting with Princess Rui at this time.

He hadn't figured out how to tell Princess Rui that there was a new woman in the mansion.

If she was young and beautiful, it would be fine. Princess Rui is virtuous, so having another concubine in the palace is really nothing.

But the woman was older than him and had two children.

Will the princess think that the prince has changed his appetite...

Thinking of this, Prince Rui looked at Prince Fu again. Prince Fu would probably find it even more difficult to explain to his princess?

At this time, Prince Fu still hadn't figured out why he wanted a man back home?

Recite poetry with him?

Or do you really want to follow him to learn how to cultivate immortality?

I'm afraid he's gone crazy!

Forget it, forget it, the person has been sent home, just keep him under good care.

Anyway, I still have three or four years to go before I turn thirty.

After the show ended, everyone said goodbye to the Empress Dowager and returned home.

Prince Rui and Princess Rui rode in the same carriage in silence all the way.

Princess Rui finally couldn't help but speak.

"Your Highness seems to be worried today?"

Prince Rui coughed lightly and hesitated for a long time before speaking.

"Today, I saw a housekeeping lady in the palace who caught my eye, so I asked the Regent for her. I'm afraid she's already in our house."

After hearing this, Princess Rui was stunned at first, and then she covered her mouth and chuckled.

"Your Highness's thoughts are truly unfathomable. I simply assumed it was a whim. Now that you've brought her back to the palace, I'll take care of her properly."

Prince Rui was moved to see that the princess was so understanding. He took Princess Rui's hand and said.

"The princess is so virtuous, this prince is truly lucky.

This woman is still a fool, and I just feel sorry for her.

I want to bring her back home and give her a stable life, and I will never neglect you because of this."

Princess Rui smiled and nodded.

"Your Highness has such a kind heart, and I naturally support it. As long as Your Highness has me in his heart, I will be content."

Prince Rui was even more moved.

Thinking about how the princess has been managing the palace's finances over the years and taking good care of the illegitimate children.

When he went to the battlefield, the princess worried about him day and night.

He secretly decided that he would learn from his brother Sheng and be nicer to his princess in the future.

After returning to Prince Rui's mansion, Prince Rui and Princess Rui went to see the woman together.

The woman was so dull and stupid that she didn't even know the basic etiquette.

Princess Rui comforted her gently, arranged a place for her to live and provided her with maids and servants to serve her.

......

This side of Prince Sheng’s Mansion.

When the young master returned home, Manager Yao and Sheng Wu took him out to play.

Chu Musheng now had time to ask Xu Ke if he could explain the matter of the female doctor to the Empress Dowager.

Xu Ke can tell the truth.

"I only said that the female doctor was dead, and the Empress Dowager did not ask any further questions."

Chu Musheng nodded slightly, his expression gentle.

"That's not bad. I think Mother is no longer willing to waste her energy on such trivial matters.

Now that our mother is enjoying her retirement, it is our filial duty to relieve her of her worries."

Xu Ke moved closer, took Chu Musheng's strong arm, and winked at him.

"Today, the Queen Mother mentioned another matter to me."

Chu Musheng gently scratched her nose and asked with a smile:

"What is it? My beloved concubine, please tell me quickly so that I can hear it."

"My mother said that Princess Jianning has become stupid in the cold palace.

Her former princess's mansion had been vacant for a long time, and it was such a pity to leave it empty.

"My mother intends for me to transform this place into a gathering place for the noble ladies of the capital. What do you think, Your Highness?"

Clubhouse?

As soon as Chu Musheng heard this word, he guessed that this was Xu Keke's idea.

"Why does the Queen Mother have such an idea?"

Xu Ke didn't doubt it and continued.

"Your Highness, think about it, if you want to make an appointment with a friend, you have to send an invitation first.

Then you either have to go to the other party's house and pay a visit to the elders there. This cumbersome formalities is really troublesome.

If we go to a teahouse or restaurant, it's not safe because of the mixed crowd. But what if there is a club founded by the royal family?

In this club, there is a quiet tea room for sisters to drink tea and chat.

There is an elegant study where you can discuss poetry, calligraphy and painting together, and a spacious garden where you can stroll hand in hand and enjoy the scenery.

There are even special music halls where you can listen to pleasant string and bamboo music whenever you want to listen to music.

With such a place, the noble ladies in the capital can get together often.

Exchanging music, chess, calligraphy, painting, needlework and cooking skills can not only enhance mutual friendship, but also add a lot of fun to life.

The club can also serve as a venue to showcase royal favor and style.

When necessary, various charity events can be held, such as the previous donations for the flood in the south.

We can also encourage the ladies to auction their jewelry to support the disaster areas..."

Xu Keke spoke vividly, his eyes full of stars and the sea.

Chu Musheng's imagination started to play as she described, and a smile unconsciously appeared on the corners of his mouth.

His beloved concubine really cares about the world!

In fact, the reason why Xu Keke wanted to establish such a club was that she had been too idle recently.

As a modern person, traveling back to this ancient time, you can almost have food and clothes provided for you.

She doesn't have to take care of the child herself. Prince Sheng's mansion is so big, and she has played everywhere. Doesn't she have to find something to do?

But naturally one has to speak in a high-sounding manner.

"Your Majesty, don't you think this is a brilliant idea?

I think if it can be built, it will be a good thing for the noble ladies in the capital."

Chu Musheng listened quietly to what Xu Keke said and nodded slightly.

"My beloved, this idea is indeed novel and unique. If it can be realized, it will be a great story.

However, establishing this club requires a lot of manpower and resources, and I cannot bear to let you, my beloved concubine, shoulder such a heavy responsibility alone.

How about you find a few more suitable helpers?"
