MTL - My Stepmother is Soft and Charming-Chapter 125 Queen Guo

Chapter 125 Queen Guo

Seeing this, Du Jingyi gained a little more understanding of the majesty of imperial power.

It's strange that everyone wants to climb up, and the things that others cherish and cherish are nothing more than a foil in the face of absolute power.

Thinking of this, my steps became more steady and I no longer felt timid.

Following Eunuch Hu, they did not go straight into the main courtyard of Changchun Palace, but took a detour to the small garden on the west side.

There is a small courtyard in the garden, and the door is open at this moment.

 The closer you get, the more you can hear the faint sound of women talking and laughing.

Du Jingyi listened carefully and quickly recognized the voice of his aunt, Mrs. Xing, which relieved a lot of her nervousness when she just came.

Soon, Eunuch Hu led her to the door of a house, and then said with a smile.

“Young madam, please, my empress and Madam Xing are waiting inside.”

 “Well, thank you very much, Eunuch Hu.”

 Immediately afterwards I heard Eunuch Hu shouting.

 “The general’s wife has arrived.”

The people inside heard the commotion and naturally came out to draw the curtains.

Oncoming were two pretty palace ladies. Seeing their clothes, Du Jingyi knew that they must be the empress's handsome palace ladies.

 So after a brief nod, he entered the door.

As soon as he came in, Du Jingyi was a little surprised.

The layout of the rooms here is completely different from the Changchun Palace we just saw.

 Simple and generous, yet exuding a warmth that only exists among the people.

As soon as he took a look, he saw two people sitting around the Kang on the bright window. Silver wire charcoal was burning next to them, so the room was very warm.

"coming?"

Du Jingyi kept nodding slightly. Hearing that the voice did not belong to his aunt, Mrs. Xing, he knew it must belong to the Queen.

So he knelt down in a polite manner to say hello.

“My wife, the Du family of Shang family, has met the empress.”

“Well, get up, there is no need to be polite in this courtyard, just treat me as an ordinary elder.”

When Du Jingyi heard this, he didn't dare to make a mistake.

 After saying respectfully, "I thank you, my concubine," I stood up obediently.

Seeing that the palace maid had just brought a round stool, Du Jingyi took a moment to settle down, then half-sat on it, still lowering his head slightly, not daring to look around.

Seeing her like this, Mrs. Xing couldn't help but smile and said to save her.

“This child is young and hasn’t experienced much, so don’t be surprised by it.”

Her tone told her that she was an old friend and had a close relationship with the Queen, so she was so calm.

The queen also smiled after hearing this and said something.

“Look up and take a look at me, your aunt will praise you to the sky, saying that you are a perfect match for Rokuro.”

"yes."

At this moment, Du Jingyi felt a bit like an ugly daughter-in-law meeting her parents-in-law. Obviously, she was not so nervous when facing her serious father-in-law.

The queen has seen all the beauties in the palace, so if you really want to talk about it, Du Jingyi is not very outstanding.

 But there is an agility in her that is rarely seen in the world.

A pair of eyes are as bright as stars. If you look carefully, you can see a bit of playfulness.

 You can still maintain such a good attitude after being married for three years. It seems that you are someone who can relieve your emotions.

Seeing this, the queen smiled.

"It's true that your aunt didn't trick me, Liu Lang is indeed very lucky." "The queen is too complimentary, and I don't dare to accept it."

"how old are you?"

 “Go back to your Majesty, I am almost nineteen.”

"Oh? At your age, the prince of this palace is already one year old, but you still look like a daughter, and your waist is not thick or long."

 After hearing this, Du Jingyi didn't know how to answer.

Could it be that the Queen wants to beat her so that she can get pregnant as soon as possible so that she can inherit the incense of the Duke's palace?

Mrs. Xing listened nearby and couldn't help but joked.

"Is it possible that the empress has forgotten that Liulang went to Cezhou after getting married to her and just came back a few days ago. Speaking of which, the two of them are still newlyweds, so the heirs are not in a hurry."

 After hearing her explanation, the queen finally reacted.

“As people get older, they also become confused. Yes, Liulang has been going to Cezhou for three years, but it’s a shame that you, the kid, have been waiting for him.”

"A general fights for the country, and his wife is honored and not miserable."

After hearing what she said, the queen also chuckled.

“You’re an interesting kid, tell me, how can you be proud of it?”

 She asked questions as soon as she came up. It seemed that Queen Guo had some intention of checking her when she was summoned to the palace today.

Du Jingyi opened his mouth to speak after calming down a bit.

"Cezhou is in danger, and the general is ordered to go there. It is the great justice of the family and the country. Although my wife is from the back house, she also knows that only a country has a family, so I am lucky to have such a husband. "

“That’s what you say, but after waiting for three years, don’t you complain?”

“The general is fighting on the battlefield, and his wife cannot help him. The only way is to stay at home and stay at home.”

 “You behave yourself.”

Empress Guo did not pursue the matter further, and Du Jingyi did not know whether his answer was acceptable.

Instead, Mrs. Xing on the side interrupted with a smile.

“Both the young couple are still young, and now that Liulang is back, it can be said that all the hardships have come to an end.”

"Yes, it's better to be young. It doesn't matter how many years have been wasted. After all, you still have to wait. But unlike you and me, we will only wait and grow older. Even so, in the end, we may not be able to get what we want. think."

The queen's self-deprecating words made Du Jingyi notice something was wrong.

 Isn’t it said that the emperor and the empress had a close relationship and treated each other with respect?

　Why does it seem a little inappropriate to hear it today?

Since Mrs. Xing returned to Sui'an City, she has spent most of the day with the Queen, so she naturally knows the meaning of her words.

Since other people were around, it was difficult to persuade him directly, so he could only speak comfortingly.

“My dear, you are in your prime now, how can you be so old?”

After hearing what Mrs. Xing said, the queen shook her head indifferently. Instead, she turned over to comfort Mrs. Xing and said.

"Everyone will grow old, and so will I. Yun Qing does not need to be limited by the eyes of the world. This is the way of heaven."

Yunqing is Mrs. Xing’s maiden name.

 If you are not someone close to me, you would never call me this.

It seems that what my husband Shang Ji said is true, and the two of them do have a very good relationship.

Compared to Du Jingyi who was still considering the meaning of the Queen's words, Mrs. Xing had a sad look on her face and looked at the Queen with worry in her eyes.

He wanted to say something, but didn't know how to say it. In the end, the queen spoke to comfort him.

 “Stop talking about this to save yourself the trouble.”

 Then he motioned to the palace maid just now to bring up a jade Ruyi inlaid with gold and precious stones, and said to Du Jingyi.

"I called you here today just to see how Yun He's daughter-in-law is doing. Now that people have seen it, I am very satisfied, so I give you this jade Ruyi. I hope you can live well with Liulang in the future. As one wishes."
