MTL - My Stepmother is Soft and Charming-Chapter 124 Changchun Palace

Chapter 124 Changchun Palace

Since you can’t rely on others, you can only rely on yourself.

She may not be able to control power, nor may she be able to gain power, but if she learns how to make money, she will be able to earn a lot of money in the future.

She believes that with the nourishment of money, people can be calm and unhurried.

Seeing how determined she was, Shang Ji finally relented.

"Since Madam is willing to give it a try, let's go and see what Sister-in-law thinks. But if she is not willing, don't feel bad."

“Don’t worry, general. I have been doing business with my parents for a few years. I have never seen any expressions on my face. Even if my sister-in-law doesn’t want to, I won’t make it difficult for myself.”

"That's good."

 After the couple discussed the matter, they talked about other things.

At this time, sister-in-law Liu and nephew Shang Zhiping, who were still packing their things in Fuqiu Courtyard, did not know what kind of twists and turns were waiting for them next.

 After a good night's sleep, it was soon time for Du Jingyi to go to the palace for an audience.

 She will dress up more grandly today than yesterday.

But Li Zhu and Ying Tao both remembered their general's words, so they did not focus on the beauty. Instead, they focused on dignity and generosity.

So today's Du Jingyi really looks like a lady.

 She was riding in the chariot and horse that the emperor gave to Shang Ji today, so she was very safe.

 And Yingying and Lizhu were also sitting neatly on both sides. Although there was tension in their eyes, they were more excited.

After all, they never thought three years ago that they would one day enter the palace and meet the most noble woman in the world. Therefore, the two of them kept breathing in and out to adjust their mentality.

 As for Du Jingyi, the smile on his lips has not dropped since he left home.

The wind blew through the car curtains, stirring them slightly.

 Looking at the serious-faced husband Shang Ji riding his horse outside, Du Jingyi felt as sweet as honey.

Mingming said yesterday that His Majesty had not summoned him, but today he got up early and said that he had military affairs to go to the palace to report.

 It is not ruled out that there is really such a reason, but Du Jingyi also knows that there is still a reason why he is worried about her.

 So she was grateful.

Perhaps Shang Ji accompanied him all the way, so Du Jingyi felt a lot more comfortable.

The carriage drove steadily for less than half an hour, and the majestic imperial city appeared in front of everyone's eyes.

There were imperial guards guarding the entrance of the palace. When they saw Shang Ji, they all showed more respect than before.

 “I have seen the general.”

"Um."

After finishing speaking, Luo Yuan, who was beside Shang Ji, drove his horse forward to explain.

"The general has military affairs to report to Your Majesty today. The general's wife has received an edict from the queen and has come to the palace to see her. Please let her go."

As soon as these words were spoken, the commander of the guards respectfully let him go.

 From the city gate to the palace gate, the journey is smooth.

Until the carriage and horses stopped in front of Yuding Gate, Shang Ji rode his horse to the side and said to Du Jingyi who was sitting inside.

“Get off the car, the Queen will send someone to pick you up in a sedan chair.”

Du Jingyi was a little surprised, but still took a deep breath and came down with Yingying and Lizhu.

Shang Jixia immediately went to give her a hand, although it was less than one percent of the usual intimacy between the two of them.

 But Du Jingyi is still a little shy.

Probably there were palace servants standing in front of me today. Sure enough, I saw a kind-faced father-in-law walking over and said,

 “I have seen General Shang and the young lady.”

"Eunuch Hu, there is no need to be polite. You are the chief **** beside the Queen. Even when you meet my father, you don't need to be so polite."

 The identity of this person was revealed in one sentence, which made Du Jingyi know how to treat him.

Those are the three clear words: not to be messed with. Seeing this, Eunuch Hu smiled more and more kindly, and said hurriedly.

 “The general exalts his slave.”

Shang Ji accepted his words smoothly.

"Eunuch Hu is very polite. I have something to report to Your Majesty today, so I won't delay here any longer. If the Queen's summons is over, please Eunuch Hu send someone to let me know so that I can go home with you."

"It's strange that people outside are saying that the general and the young lady are a match made in heaven. Today, when I saw it, I felt that they are a perfect match for each other. If the queen knows about it, she will definitely be happy."

Du Jingyi stood beside him, always maintaining a dignified and decent posture.

 Not a word was spoken, not a movement made.

 I went through the rules carefully in my mind that the grandma whom my father had hired with a lot of money taught me.

Eunuch Hu has been serving in the palace for many years and has never seen anything like this.

Of course he knew the panic in Du Jingyi's heart, so he smiled and said something.

"Young madam, please go with the old slave. The empress and Madam Xing are making snow and tea in Changchun Palace, waiting for you to come over."

Hearing that his aunt was here, Du Jingyi felt more at ease, so he glanced at his husband and replied politely.

 “I’d like to ask Eunuch Hu to lead the way.”

"please."

Du Jingyi got on the sedan chair, and when the curtain was lowered, he heard Eunuch Hu shouting.

 “Get up the sedan chair.”

 Then I felt my body rise slightly, and then walked forward steadily.

The maids Yingying and Lizhu stood on the left and right sides of the sedan and followed them, and the group went straight to the harem.

As for Shang Ji, he turned around and said after watching Du Jingyi's sedan gradually go away.

 “Let’s go, I’ll go see your Majesty.”

"yes."

Luo Yuan followed Shang Ji into the palace countless times, so he behaved much calmer.

 The roads in the palace are also being swept at all times, so there is no trace of snow falling at all.

 Just the north wind was blowing, pushing the entire imperial city into an even colder state.

After walking for about half an hour, Du Jingyi arrived at the gate of Changchun Palace.

As soon as you get off the sedan chair and lift the curtain, you can see the palace that countless women have dreamed of.

As expected, it is the residence of the queen of Fengyi World. You can feel this dignity and dignity just through the high palace walls.

Eunuch Hu took one step forward and ushered Du Jingyi in.

Maids Yingying and Lizhu also followed behind their young lady, following every step and being very disciplined.

 The master and servant entered the gate of Changchun Palace and did not dare to look around.

 But this luxurious and graceful attitude came to my face.

Changchun Palace faces north and faces south, standing on a white marble platform.

It is seven rooms wide and five rooms deep. The three-layer rolling shed's ingot roof is covered with green colored glaze.

The pillars under the eaves are carved with lotus pattern bases, and under the eaves are painted various colorful paintings of auspicious scenes.

The floor-to-ceiling nanmu flower canopy wraps the verandah. After passing through the hanging flower door on the west side, you enter the courtyard.

As soon as you enter the courtyard gate, you can see an octagonal pedestal made of white jade in the middle, with a huge Taihu stone placed on it.

There are holes all over, and the scenery moves with every step.

Ordinary people can brag about it for half their lives if they get a piece of Taihu stone the size of their fingertips, but if it falls in the Changchun Palace, it is just a scene in the courtyard.
