Today, Mingguo Gongfu was also filled with lively celebration. It was no ordinary day, as it marked the birthday of both the old master and his wife at Ming Guo Palace.The significance of the palace's title aside, the crown prince's maiden family alone commanded considerable influence. Moreover, with the emperor's favor now leaning towards the third prince, the momentum of the crown prince's standing had gradually strengthened. As a result, almost all the female relatives of officials and eunuchs ranked Grade 3 or higher within the capital made their presence known at the celebration.Those beneath the third grade rank were not invited, not because they lacked desire to attend, but because they simply hadn't received an invitation.

  Chapter 86: planning Liu Tangxi didn't notice the subtle tension between Wei Hanzhou and Fuyao. Even if she had, she would likely have blamed Wei Hanzhou, as her perception of him was more critical.Fuyao, on the other hand, found herself drawn to Wei Hanzhou's presence beside her, instinctively looking back at him whenever he was near.

  Chapter 84: Forbidden After hearing about Wei Lao San's report, Wei Lao da felt a pang of discomfort. As the eldest of the family, he was accustomed to having his younger siblings and their families defer to him. However, Wei Laosan had not always shown the same respect. Previously, when the family had not yet been divided, Wei Laosan had been viewed merely as a younger brother working under him. But once Wei Laosan sought separation, Wei Lao da's attitude shifted dramatically. He perceived his younger brother's desire for independence as disobedience and became quite resentful, eagerly awaiting any misfortune that might befall on Wei Laosan.Unexpectedly, after enduring several challenging years, Wei Laosan's youngest son had emerged as a prominent figure, achieving notable success in his examinations and securing an official post in the capital.
