MTL - My Stepmother is Soft and Charming-Chapter 127 Warmth at home

Chapter 127 Warmth at Home

 The carriage and horse drove forward slowly, with the couple sitting inside.

 “Did the empress give you this jade Ruyi?”

 “Well, it’s a congratulatory gift.”

“You are lucky. This Ruyi jade was given to you by the Queen Mother in the year when she was canonized. It has a very good meaning.”

After hearing this, Du Jingyi said "Ah" in surprise.

"Is this in compliance with the rules?"

"Don't worry, since the empress can reward you, you can naturally get it. Just go back and respect it properly."

Du Jingyi nodded, even if Shang Ji didn't say anything, she would still put this thing high on the red sandalwood table in the main room to show God's grace.

"By the way, the empress also said that the imperial edict to ennoble my concubine as the royal wife will be sent before the year. General, isn't this a bit too much?"

Hearing this, Shang Ji was a little surprised, and then he smiled lightly and said.

"I originally planned to wait for my grandmother to come to the palace and ask her to ask the Queen for an annual reward for you. Unexpectedly, the Queen gave it to you in advance. This is good, so as not to exclude Mrs. Wei from talking about things every day. Tell me who you are."

 “How can she, a concubine who has been raised up by a concubine, be worthy of being compared with you?”

 Following that, he said to Du Jingyi very solemnly.

"If I had known that I would meet you, I would not have allowed them to ruin my reputation so much in the past few years and give me so many tablets to occupy the identity of the original wife. But in my heart, you are the original wife. First wife, do you know?"

Du Jingyi really didn't expect that something she didn't care about would be so important in the eyes of everyone.

 So, I had to be very energetic and replied.

"I understand the general's intentions. The queen also has this idea and will reward me. But don't worry, I'm not jealous enough to go against the previous ones. And if it weren't for the general, With such a reputation as a concubine, even with my family background, I can’t marry into the Duke’s palace.”

 This is quite true.

 So sometimes, God does have his own arrangements.

Shang Ji looked at Du Jingyi for a while and knew that she really didn't care, so he said calmly.

"As long as I'm here, I will never let you suffer."

"Um."

The couple talked along the way, and the time passed quickly.

 Not long after, the carriage stopped at the door of Du's house.

Du Jingyi didn't notice and thought they were going back to the Duke's Mansion first and had lunch before going to Du's house.

I didn’t expect it to come directly, so I was surprised and happy at the same time.

"The food at my father-in-law's house is really delicious, so I sent someone to send a message in advance, saying that we were going to have dinner at the house. But don't worry. I specifically asked the person who sent the letter to ask your sister to take care of her stomach first. She Now there are two of us and we can’t go hungry.”

His attentiveness and thoughtfulness made Du Jingyi feel very at ease, and then he said with a naughty smile.

"General, believe it or not? My parents and sister must be waiting well, but my brother-in-law may be a little more anxious. He must have found a lot of food for sister and is trying to persuade her to eat it."

Shang Ji looked at his wife's smiling face and did not doubt what she said.

 “Let’s go, let’s not delay.”

"good."

 After saying this, the couple entered the door of Du's house hand in hand.

As expected, Du Jingyi’s guess was right.

Everyone in Mingse Courtyard was waiting eagerly, but brother-in-law He Shilin was holding cakes in his hand and was urging Du Jingxiang to use more. “It’s coming, it’s coming, it’s finally coming.”

As soon as Mr. Du saw his daughter and son-in-law coming back, the smile on his face never fell, and he hurried to greet them.

Du Jingyi's steps are also much faster than usual. It can be seen that she is sincerely happy every time she goes home.

 This actually reminded Shang Ji of the happy days he had spent at his grandfather's house, and he suddenly felt a little lost.

"My daughter is late. Dad, are you not starving?"

"No, where are you? Knowing that you are coming back for dinner, how can we eat first, right?"

Mr. Du's words interrupted Shang Ji's thoughts.

Shang Ji came to his senses and replied with a slight smile.

“The Queen and the Madam hit it off immediately, so she stayed a little longer to keep her father-in-law and mother-in-law waiting.”

Hearing this, both the Du family and his wife looked slightly stunned. They thought their daughter and husband-in-law came from the Duke's mansion.

Unexpectedly, he came out of the palace, so he walked forward with some worry, looked at Du Jingyi, and asked in a low voice.

"Is the queen not giving you any trouble?"

“Don’t worry, mother, my aunt is also present. She just asked me a few simple questions and didn’t say much else.”

The matter of Mrs. Gaoming is of great importance.

 Until the day when he actually receives the imperial edict, Du Jingyi will not speak casually.

Mrs. Du looked at her deeply and breathed a sigh of relief knowing that she was not telling lies.

But then I thought about it, depending on my son-in-law's status, I'm afraid there will be many opportunities to enter the palace like this in the future.

If they were on tenterhooks every day, wouldn't it make people unable to sleep well?

Thinking of this, I felt a lot more relaxed.

"That's fine, that's fine, but the Queen is also well-known among the people, so I won't embarrass you. I'm just worried about my mother."

When Shang Ji heard this, he also explained a few words.

“When my mother was still alive, I was an old acquaintance with my mother-in-law, so I summoned my wife today just to ask about some family matters. There is no need for my mother-in-law to worry.”

 “Okay, okay, don’t worry, don’t worry.”

Du Jingxiang hadn't seen his sister for a long time, so he naturally stepped forward and took her arm. The relationship between the two was still as close as before, and even her husband He Shilin couldn't get in.

"Let's go and try the sausages that my mother-in-law just sent from Pingzhou. I miss the taste, but there aren't too many sent for you to take back. After a while, the two elders will come. I'll ask her to make more of it when I get to Sui'ancheng, and then you can give it to your family to try."

“When did sister like to eat sausages? Aren’t you afraid of the smell of smoke?”

“I don’t know, maybe it’s because the person in my belly likes to eat. Since I was pregnant, I’ve eaten a lot of things that I had never touched before.”

Hearing this, Du Jingyi couldn't help but smile, touched sister's belly, and said jokingly.

 “It seems that he is a not picky child and is easier to support than my sister!”

 “Tangtang～”

Du Jingxiang was originally as cute as a rabbit, and he was acting coquettishly towards Du Jingyi, as if she was the younger sister and Du Jingyi was the steady eldest sister.

But Du Jingyi also liked her, his eyes were full of doting, and when he looked at the towering belly, he also flashed some envy.

Although she has not taken the anti-fetal pills mentioned by Grandma Dou, she has never deliberately used contraception.
