Chapter 126 Asking for New Year’s Reward

Du Jingyi was a little flattered by the queen's words. If it weren't for the fact that he was in the palace at this moment, Du Jingyi would have thought he was seeing an ordinary elder.

 But the rules cannot be broken, speak respectfully.

“I thank your empress for the reward, and I will surely live up to her expectations.”

"That's good."

 After saying this, Queen Guo seemed to think of something again, and then said.

"I have already mentioned the matter of your imperial edict to Your Majesty. It is estimated that the edict will be issued before the year. Then I will move to a new house and live a good life with Rokuro."

Du Jingyi thought that Yu Ruyi was the highlight, but he didn't expect that there was still a chance to get a royal title.

At this moment she was really at a loss.

After Mrs. Xing saw it, she couldn't help but remind her with laughter.

“Look at the great kindness of the empress, the child is so grateful that he doesn’t know what to say. Liu Lang’s wife quickly thanked the empress.”

After hearing this, Du Jingyi immediately stood up from the stool and said with fear.

  "I don't deserve to be rewarded for my merits, so I am afraid that I am not worthy of my appointment as my wife."

"It's difficult for the stepmother. She is always shorter in front of the first wife. But the wives of Rokuro in the past can't be said to be true first wives. Therefore, this imperial wife is the grace given to you by this palace. Even in the future... You’re really at a disadvantage.”

The queen's explanation made Du Jingyi slightly moved.

 For her, the identity of this step-sibling actually has little impact.

  But that's because she hasn't really integrated into the wealthy circle in Sui'an City.

 But the queen thought of this incident, so she gave Du Jingyi this grace to protect her from getting more respect and dignity when making friends with others in the future.

Even if Du Jingyi wanted to refuse, after knowing the Queen's intention, he couldn't say anything more.

 “I would like to thank you for your kindness.”

This time, I bowed down to the queen, which was a bit more sincere than before.

 Seeing this, the queen also laughed.

He said with a bit of sadness in his tone.

"The Gu family is only supported by a grandson like Liu Lang. You should spread the branches earlier so that Mrs. Gu and the others can gain more comfort."

 “Yes, I understand.”

 Subsequently, Queen Guo brought the topic to other places.

 With Mrs. Xing accompanying me, it didn’t seem awkward or cold.

Du Jingyi listened to the two of them talking quietly and responded from time to time. Gradually, his impression of the Queen Empress became more three-dimensional.

 In the past, I only knew the queen, who came from the famous Guo family.

His father is Prime Minister Guo, a courtier who has followed the emperor loyally since the founding of the emperor before he conquered the world.

   is now the most popular and prestigious among the elite civil servants.

 With such confidence from her natal family, Queen Guo should be the one killing everyone in the palace.

 Unexpectedly, he turned out to be such a gentle and approachable person.

At first, Du Jingyi was still distant because of her status, but after sitting down for a couple of hours, she felt as relaxed as having a heart-to-heart talk with her close elders at home.

It’s no wonder that the world praises Queen Guo so much. She is indeed worthy of the position of the mother of this country.

 Peaceful, tolerant, without any arrogance of those in authority.

 However, the queen's throne may not necessarily make people happy physically and mentally, because Du Jingyi can always feel a touch of sadness in her body.

 It’s just that we don’t know the truth.

 At noon, the maid next to the queen came to remind her that it was time to have a meal.

Mrs. Xing naturally wanted to accompany her, and Du Jingyi was also prepared.

However, Eunuch Hu, who had just sent Du Jingyi over, came in with a smile and said in a respectful tone.

"Your Majesty, the general sent someone to ask, saying that your Majesty wants to keep the young lady to eat in the palace? If so, he can just wait a little longer."     One sentence made both the Queen and Mrs. Xing laugh. Yes, there was a lot of teasing in Du Jingyi's eyes.

"Okay, it's time for the young couple to mix honey with oil. I won't be the villain who beats the couple. Yun Qing will accompany me to dinner. Hu Zhen, please send Du family out."

Hu Zhen is the real name of Eunuch Hu.

Hearing this call, Eunuch Hu also smiled and came forward to make a gesture of invitation, but he didn't have the airs of a chief eunuch.

Du Jingyi did not forget to bow his head and salute, and then said.

 “My wife retires.”

When she left the room, Mrs. Xing sighed.

“It would be great if my cousin is still here. She will definitely like my wife here.”

 Queen Guo also nodded when she heard this, with appreciation in her eyes.

“Although he comes from a business family, he has learned the rules well, and it can be seen that he has been carefully cultivated at home.”

 “That’s what the empress said.”

"However, these irregularities are actually done for others to see, and it doesn't matter. It seems that Liulang is paying attention to Du Shi in this way. It's good that he will have a caring person by his side in the future who can talk warmly. .”

"yes."

“Let’s go and see what the imperial kitchen has brought today. Let’s see if there’s anything you like.”

The Queen spoke, and Mrs. Xing followed suit.

"I have become fat after eating with my wife these days. If I continue to eat like this, no one will dare to recognize me when I return to Jinling City."

"You also said that you were asked to come north to talk to me a few years ago. You delayed coming for so long and you are leaving after the new year. Naturally, you want to spend more time with me. As for this fat guy, fat OK, I remember Mr.

 “Empress…”

Mrs. Xing made a rare and charming voice, with a hint of "resentment".

At the moment, there are only two of them here, and they don’t act like elders.

 Talk and laugh, as if returning to the time when I was young.

 Happy, wanton, and free and easy.

As for Du Jingyi, he was safely returned to Shang Ji by Hu Gong and the police.

 “Thank you for your work, Eunuch Hu, Cherry.”

Du Jingyi said a word, and the cherry went up to him and stuffed a purse into his hand.

 It’s heavy, and you can tell it’s expensive at a glance.

Eunuch Hu did not refuse, he agreed with a smile and added something.

“Young madam, I am very fond of your Majesty today. I will have to find more opportunities to visit you in the future. Your Majesty will definitely be happy to see you.”

“Thanks to Eunuch Hu for the suggestion, I have written it down.”

When Eunuch Hu saw this, he saluted the two of them and then returned to the harem.

Shang Ji glanced at Du Jingyi and said something.

 “Get in the car.”

"good."

When going back, Shang Ji did not ride in front, but accompanied Du Jingyi in the carriage.

Natural Cherry and Lizhu have to come down and follow.

Luo Yuan was riding his horse at the forefront as always. Today he was dressed in dark clothes, which made him look a bit lively.

Cherry took another look, but Luo Yuan turned back and grinned.

This smile made the thought of the cherry just rising disappear.

 As expected, this man still has good looks.
