"My sisters are still young. There are no female elders to entertain us in the Third Prince's Mansion, and there are no female elders to accompany us in the Marquis' Mansion either. It is a bit..."

Not very appropriate.

Yun Tang smiled and said, "Even if they were kept from coming out at the beginning, it was because of this reason."

"Then the Third Prince sent the Chief Historian to pick her up, but he refused forcefully instead of discussing it with the Second and Third Aunts?"

"Besides, Xiao Ye told me that the invitations were sent to each family overnight, and it was not a sudden move today."

"How can she be sure that there are no female elders in the Third Prince's Mansion to entertain? How can she be sure that no girls from other mansions will come?"

"The brothers have all received the invitations, why did you withhold the invitations for the sisters without telling them?"

Yuntang's words left Jiang Yanxuan speechless.

The mother's reason is valid, but it does not stand up to scrutiny.

Let’s not talk about what happened at the Third Prince’s banquet.

My mother did refuse outright without knowing the details, thus blocking the sisters in the mansion from going out and making friends.

What's more, the Third Prince later sent the Chief Secretary to pick up the person, and he had already stated that it was the eldest daughter of the Marquis' Mansion who asked to pick him up. With Yuntang as an elder sister around, there was no place that he couldn't go.

Seeing Jiang Yanxuan's distressed face, Yuntang breathed a sigh of relief and suggested:

"Second brother, you might as well not go back. Eat dinner and then go back with them."

Do Prince Cheng and his wife have to stay in the Marquis' Mansion just to wait for her to come back and see her?

Jiang Yanxuan glanced at the four sisters who looked worried, and his brothers who were silent beside them, and sighed helplessly again.

"If I don't bring back a result, I'm afraid the conflict will escalate. With my mother's personality, it's obvious that she won't realize her mistakes."

"I'm not the eldest brother. I can't just vent my anger at her."

"I came here because I expected this result, and I also wanted to discuss a proper response with you."

"If we continue to make trouble like this, at most my father will be scolded by my grandfather and blamed by my grandmother, but will the second and third wives be implicated?"

"My grandmother got sick from anger, and my father and mother quarreled like this. There has to be an end to this."

"I can't persuade anyone..."

Jiang Yanxuan felt that his home was a mess that could not be cleaned up, and that he thought that maybe he could find a glimmer of hope by looking for his sister.

The only glimmer of hope is that my grandfather can think it through in the next two days. With a granddaughter who is favored by the emperor, it is more valuable to show goodwill than to make enemies.

Only after the problems in Prince Cheng's Mansion were resolved would my grandfather be able to control my mother's behavior, and my mother would then be able to realize the problem and restrain herself somewhat.

Although he felt that the effect would not be very obvious, it was better than the current mess.

"Second brother, don't worry about this matter. When you go back, tell them that everyone is going to the Prince Qi's mansion for dinner and not at the Third Prince's place anymore."

"The rest will at most be scolded by Prince Cheng, and then they will run away. No matter how powerful Prince Cheng is, he cannot scold the children of the second and third wives in our mansion."

"Don't let them dwell on the invitation. It should be that Princess Kangning is mad at her mother-in-law for being unfilial."

Seeing that her second brother was worried and wanted her to take care of the paralytic, Yuntang gave him an idea.

The second brother is also worried about his mother, but will his mother understand her sons' feelings?

The mother was the one who did everything first, and the father was just retaliating in anger.

Father has his reasons for insisting on his own ideas, so let the adults argue among themselves. The younger generation has no say in the matter, so just let it go and ignore it.

She turned to look at the others and told them:

"When you return home, go to your own parents first, and then go to Songhe Hall to visit your grandmother and show your filial piety."

"You are considered as side branches but you are not her illegitimate sons and daughters of Princess Kangning, so you are not under her supervision."

"The rest are conflicts between the mother-in-law and daughter-in-law, and sisters-in-law. It's not something you can interfere with."

The four sisters' worried expressions did not brighten up because of their eldest sister's words.

They were still feeling uneasy because their mother had a quarrel with their aunt who was the head of the household.

On the contrary, Jiang Yanyu, Jiang Yanchong and others hid their dissatisfaction with their aunt between their brows.

It was originally just a matter of casually visiting friends and having fun and having a meal on a snowy winter day, not some grand banquet with a name.

They were familiar with the Third Prince, but not so familiar with the King of Qi.

Now that they are led by their elder sister, they not only became familiar with the King of Qi, but even the Crown Prince can have topics to chat about.

They also heard news that Enke will open next year.

Unlike previous years when there was only a spring examination, next year there will be a series of examinations including the provincial, metropolitan and palace examinations.

For these scholars who only have the title of scholar, this is a complete trial opportunity.

Coincidentally, next year is the year for the academy examination, and there are still a few brothers among me who have not passed the examination for the scholar degree, so they will just catch up.

It can be said that if the Yong'an Marquisate cannot continue to strive for fame and honor in the army, then the imperial examination is the best way out for their brothers of this generation.

Next year’s Enco will be an opportunity.

Originally, the brothers were quite joking when talking about this matter. They didn't need to worry too much about the result. They could just go to the examination hall and take it. What if they passed?

However, now, they are all thinking that they must seize the opportunity next year.

Only when they have made progress on their own can they become a support for their mother and sister.

Yuntang noticed what they were thinking, and Jiang Yanxuan naturally saw it too.

Jiang Yanxuan felt a little ashamed. He was careless and should have called his sister aside to talk about these things.

I said too much in a hurry, and some contradictions were exposed in front of my younger brothers and sisters without any cover.

After all, they were living in separate rooms, they had their own emotions, and he felt embarrassed and awkward.

It would be great if the eldest brother was here. Among the brothers, only the eldest brother can have a say in front of grandfather and can also restrain mother.

Yun Tang sighed and changed his tone, "After dinner, I will go back with you guys. I will talk to King Cheng in person if there is anything."

There would be nothing wrong if I didn't pick up my sisters for the two banquets today, but this is not a solution.

It is impossible for her sisters to stay at home all the time, and she will have to take them to more banquets in the future.

"Tang'er, I know I've embarrassed you, but I just thought that it was Grandfather who asked to see you, so I should first comply with the elders' wishes before I can continue to talk about Mother."

"It's really not a good idea to...create any more trouble at this time." Jiang Yanxuan explained quickly.

Yuntang smiled and said nothing more.

My second brother is a soft-hearted person. He always wants to do everything well, but others will not listen to his advice, so it is easy for him to find himself in a thankless position.

And she didn't rush back to clean up the mess.

Seeing that she agreed to come back, Jiang Yanxuan prepared to go back, but Xiao Fei came to keep him.

"I have sent the chief secretary to the Marquis' Mansion to report to Prince Cheng. You all can have dinner here before returning." Xiao Fei said in a somewhat forceful tone.

So what if they are both princes? The emperor who now rules the world is his father!
