MTL - My Stepmother is Soft and Charming-Chapter 505 Queen Yan

"If you are interested, please bring more of their brothers into the palace to see the Ai family. It will make the Ai family happier than any other way of expressing gratitude. It just so happens that the princes and princesses are also in need of playmates."

 Du Jingyi didn’t dare to answer these words casually, so he just bowed and said “yes” and didn’t say anything more.

Seeing this, Mrs. Guo also stood up. After bowing to the Queen Mother, she took Du Jingyi out of the Shoukang Palace, and gave a few special instructions to the Queen Mother when she left.

"My queen has been thinking very hard for many days, and it's time to rest more. Thinking about it for a long time may not be a good thing. People still have to be at ease in order to enjoy peace and prosperity."

Empress Dowager Guo knew what her mother meant, smiled and nodded, and asked Eunuch Hu to send them out in person. After meeting the ladies outside, she rushed to the Changchun Palace where the empress was.

When leaving Shoukang Palace, Du Jingyi breathed a sigh of relief, and then whispered to Mrs. Guo who was walking side by side.

 “Thank you, Grandma Guo, for coming to the rescue.”

“Relax, my wife is here and I won’t make things difficult for you.”

When Mrs. Guo said this, she looked as if Mrs. Gu was still alive. At this time, Du Jingyi couldn't help but think, if her grandmother was still alive, what would it be like to enter the palace with them today?

But thinking about it is ultimately impossible, so I can only continue to concentrate on walking along the long and solemn palace road.

When he arrived at Changchun Palace, everything was obviously the same as before, but because of the change of owner, Du Jingyi felt different after entering the palace.

　　A group of people walked into the courtyard, and the ones who felt most at ease now were the countess and the minister's wife, Mrs. Li. One of them was the queen's mother, and the other was the queen's sister-in-law. Naturally, they were both confident family members.

 So, just by looking at the smiles on their lips, you can tell that they are much more natural and open than they were in Shoukang Palace just now.

Perhaps because they were delayed for a while in the Queen Mother's Palace, when they arrived, the clan members had already left, but they were not asked to wait. They followed the **** who led the way into the main hall of Changchun Palace.

There are already many people sitting in the palace, including Liangdi and his concubines who have been there since the East Palace. The emperor's imperial edict has not yet been issued, so everyone is addressed as a noble.

 “I have met the Queen and all the nobles.”

As soon as the wives of Gaoming came in, the hall seemed a little crowded, but there was still room for people to sit down. Mrs. Guo, Du Jingyi, the countess and the minister's wife, Mrs. Li, were all sitting at the front.

What a coincidence, the person in front of Du Jingyi is Xing You, the eldest lady of the Xing family. Now it's time to call her "Xing Guiren".

In the Queen's Palace, it is difficult for two people to say hello, but they still greet each other with a simple nod. If he reaches out his hand and does not hit the smiling person, Du Jingyi will naturally respond with a gentle smile.

 This scene happened to fall in the eyes of Zong Liangdi, who was sitting opposite, and she had some other thoughts, but she quickly restrained herself and stopped paying attention.

Empress Yan looked around, the joy on her face was beyond words.

 In any case, her throne as queen is now secure, and what she needs to do is very simple. There are only two things, balancing the relationship between the concubines in the harem, and teaching the eldest prince and the third prince well.

Therefore, she naturally used the attitude of wooing the ladies who entered the palace this time, and said immediately with a smile.

“Ladies, please try the Yuqian Longjing that was just delivered this year.”

"Thank you, empress." They replied in unison, and Du Jingyi didn't seem to be out of the ordinary among them.

However, she did not dare to refuse the Queen's reward, so she picked up the cup and took a sip. The tea was quite good, but the taste always felt a bit strange, so the tea she originally planned to swallow ended up in her mouth instead. On the ice silk handkerchief in the sleeve.

Afraid that others would think that he was out of place, he deliberately pretended to take several sips, which attracted the attention of Queen Yan.

"Mrs. Gu likes this tea? Then I will ask them to pack some for you to take back later."

 In one sentence, Du Jingyi became the target of public criticism again.

Must be taken seriously in the Queen Mother's Palace, and also in the Queen's Palace. Although Du Jingyi knew that this was the treatment her husband received from being awarded the title of First-class Duke, she did not dare to show it. Who knows whether the person sitting here is a human or a ghost?

 So, it’s better to be careful in everything.

 Therefore, he stood up and replied respectfully.

“Thank you very much for the gift, I am deeply grateful.”

Her refusal made Empress Yan feel much relieved. After all, Gu Shaoyu is now the emperor's right-hand man, and her wife is obedient to her as the empress, which is the best.

 So my heart feels comfortable and everyone feels good.

 As soon as the topic changed, he asked Mrs. Guo and the Countess.

"You must be tired this day. Grandma and mother should pay more attention to rest."

 “Thank you for your concern.”

Everyone present here is a person who knows what to say and what not to say. So after the Queen spoke, everyone also joined in. The atmosphere was quite lively. Du Jingyi calmly handed over the handkerchief in his hand. He hid deeper, but his face still looked like he was listening to the excitement.

In the past, she didn't know much about the women in the harem of the Prince's East Palace. Except for the Crown Princess, Zong Liangdi and Xing You, she didn't know much about them. However, sitting calmly today, she could see a lot of things going wrong.

 Empress Yan has firmly occupied a high position, so she naturally has the demeanor of a mother of the country, dignified and generous.

Because Zong Liangdi was favored by the emperor and had six princes by her side, she was also an outstanding person. No matter which lady spoke, she could make a few remarks, which showed that she was very ambitious.

Xing You's temperament is just like her name, she is calm and calm, always with a slight smile on her face. She will only speak when the queen calls her. It seems that although she is not very pushy, her family background and demeanor are there. , and no one dares to underestimate it.

Sitting next to her is the royal concubine, who looks a bit older.

She must be the older concubine in the East Palace. Du Jingyi once heard from his general that there was a concubine in the East Palace who was a maid who took care of the prince since childhood. She gave the East Palace two sons and two daughters in one breath. They are the eldest princess, second princess, second prince and fourth prince, so they made an exception to register her.

He seemed to be a person with a gentle personality, but it was just a look. Du Jingyi didn't believe that he could raise four children in an environment like the East Palace without any family background. He had no ability at all.

In addition, Concubine Lin and Concubine Li were sitting across from each other. One was beautiful and the other was flamboyant. I heard that the two concubines Li and Lin once made trouble in front of the Crown Princess because of Zong Liangdi's favor. People who cannot tolerate sand.
