MTL - My Stepmother is Soft and Charming-Chapter 500 Enter the palace together

"In this case, I have to ask my wife for a favor."

"What?"

"Every year, the Ministry of Household Affairs purchases a batch of supplies from the private sector and distributes them to various places for military pay. Since this year's imperial merchant is the Han family, I think the supplies are most likely ordered from him. Can we pay more attention to the quality of the supplies? Some? It’s not that the usual ones are not good, it just feels like it’s not worth the price.”

Hearing this, Du Jingyi didn't respond at all. He thought about it for a while and then said.

"I can't agree directly to this matter. After all, it's not the Du family's business. But since I can take over the household department, I don't dare to have too many tricks in it. I'll ask around first. I'll tell the general when I have news. .”

"Okay, just keep it in mind, madam, but if it's inconvenient, don't worry, don't be too embarrassed."

"Don't worry, our relationship with the Han family is just like the Gu family and the Guo family. It's easy to talk."

She also learned to joke, so it was rare for Gu Shaoyu to smile when he heard this.

Everyone inside and outside Ancheng was looking forward to the arrival of the new dynasty. On the morning of April 18th, before dawn, Gu Shaoyu was already dressed and ready to go out.

There was no time for breakfast, so Du Jingyi asked Danruo to make him some cakes to fill his stomach. It would also be good to chew a few cushions on the way. He also added a cloak to his court clothes and sent him out after he had packed them properly.

 “My wife will go to the palace to pay homage later, so you can still get some sleep.”

"I won't sleep anymore. I haven't participated in the enthronement ceremony yet, and I'm afraid something will go wrong, so it's better to prepare early. The grandmother of the Guo family is a kind person, and she was afraid that I wouldn't understand the situation, so she sent someone to send her away. When the news comes, I will stand with her when the time comes."

 “Okay, then you should be more careful.”

Gu Shaoyu squeezed her soft palm and left.

When we left, it was still dark and there was no light.

He left early now because he had to follow the new emperor to worship heaven, so he couldn't delay. Du Jingyi and the other ladies had already postponed their visits until almost afternoon, so they were really not in a hurry.

But there is no rush to return home. You still have to enter the palace early and wait. After meeting the emperor, you will meet the queen mother and all the ladies in the harem, so you can't be careless at all.

Du Jingyi's imperial uniform has always been carefully kept by Cherry. Even when they left, it was stored with great care, so when they took it out today, it was still as new as if it had just been delivered.

With the combination of gold and silver threads, the top is beautifully embroidered, and the skirts are made of pearls, so it is very eye-catching. As a gift from her official position as Gu Shaoyu, she was a first-class concubine, so she wore natural clothes. Luxurious.

Their masters and servants are also extremely careful when getting up.

Afraid of getting her clothes dirty, so she ate something to fill her stomach in advance. Her makeup was simple and elegant. She already had a great complexion, so after applying some peach blossom powder, she just drew on her eyebrows and added some lip color.

I guess the first-grade Mrs. Gaoming is already elderly. She is already eye-catching among them. If she dresses to stand out, wouldn’t she be in a hurry to talk to others? So she is not stupid either.

As for the bun, it was more dignified and elegant. It was the same one used when she first entered the palace to meet Queen Guo, except that there were a few more kinds of pearls and jade hairpin rings.

 When everything is ready, start dressing.

The layers are layered one on top of another, making the person look dignified and majestic, but also a little too heavy. Du Jingyi is very troubled by this.

“It’s April weather all day long, I’m afraid it’s going to get wet inside, so bring me some ice silk handkerchiefs, it’ll be nice to keep cool.”

"Yes, I know this." Today, Tao Qingtao will accompany Du Jingyi into the palace, so she can't dress any weaker than others. After Du Jingyi had packed up, she also dressed up and changed into a brand new set of clear water green trousers. The skirt is not eye-catching, but it is very refreshing.

The two masters and servants dressed up here from dusk to dawn for two full hours. When the Guo family's carriage arrived in front of the general's mansion, Du Jingyi took a breath and went out.

 There are many people from the Guo family who want to enter the palace today. In addition to Mrs. Guo, there are several other Mrs. Guo who also want to enter the palace together.

It's just that in terms of status, they were still below Du Jingyi, so when she saw her dressed like this, Mrs. Guo San, who was usually more familiar with Du Jingyi, laughed.

“People are more delicate than flowers, even if they are dressed plainly, they still look beautiful.”

“My aunts only promoted me because of my youthfulness, but I lack a lot of charm. I still need the magnanimity of my aunts to match this gorgeous dress.”

Mrs. Guo waved to Du Jingyi and then said.

 “Come and sit with my old lady so we can talk along the way.”

 “Thank you, Grandma Guo.”

Getting on the carriages and horses, everyone rushed towards the imperial city, which had already been decorated with solemnity, solemnity and majesty.

 The Guo family's carriage and horses were driven very smoothly, so Du Jingyi didn't feel any bumps.

 Just because it is my first time to participate in such a grand event, I will inevitably be a little nervous.

"Don't be afraid. In fact, you just have to wait there. When His Majesty summons you, everyone will kneel and kowtow together. There is nothing much to pay attention to. Oh, by the way, have you prepared some cakes? I'm just afraid of lunch and dinner. I never even get the chance to eat it.”

"I'm ready. It's still the kind that won't fall off. I'm afraid it will be a big sin if I soil the imperial uniform."

The way Du Jingyi spoke made Mrs. Guo laugh, but she soon sighed and said.

"If your grandmother is still here, she will be the one who takes you into the palace today. She learned the rules well. If you can have her looking after you, you will be better off."

These words were sincere, and Du Jingyi also believed them, but he could only think about them.

 “No more talk, no more talk, it’s a happy day, after the new emperor ascends the throne, everything will be fine.”

Although Mrs. Guo is in the inner house, the news outside has never stopped, so she naturally knows how big the changes are. Just from the wrinkles and gray hair of her old man, it can be seen that she has been busy and worried recently. .

Now that the grand ceremony is approaching, everything has settled. After today, there will be a new look.

Mrs. Guo's chattering words relieved a lot of Du Jingyi's nervous mind. When she arrived in front of the imperial city, she took a few deep breaths and was no longer as worried as before.

 “Let’s go, let’s enter the palace.”

 “Yes, Grandma Guo.”

 “Yes, mother-in-law.”

Du Jingyi followed Mrs. Guo, and several Mrs. Guo entered the palace before them, and went straight to the Taihe Palace where they were going to meet the emperor today to wait.
