MTL - My Stepmother is Soft and Charming-Chapter 148 Feng Gaoming

Chapter 148: The Imperial Order

 No wonder she would be so concerned about her unborn child, because there are no boys in the Gu family. Although Shang Ji's surname is Shang, he was raised in the Gu family since he was a child.

If you can successfully give birth to a boy, I am afraid that according to the Queen's wishes, it is very likely that the child will be named Gu and support the Gu family.

Du Jingyi actually doesn’t have much obsession with his children’s surnames. Whether they are surnamed Shang or Gu, they are all his children.

 I'm just afraid that if outsiders find out, there will be a lot of trouble.

The first person who is unwilling to agree is probably those who want to inherit the Gu family, just like her cousin.

So he touched his flat belly with his palms and sighed silently in his heart.

This child, before anyone knew it, had already begun to survive among swords, guns, and halberds.

　　Who told him to be a descendant of the Shang and Gu family?

The carriages and horses drove all the way, and soon they arrived at the General's Mansion.

Du Jingyi wanted to burn down Dongyuan and it was not something he could do in a day or two, so he started making preparations at the end of autumn.

The fireproof paint was just an excuse, because she knew that the winter charcoal fires and firewood purchased by the Duke's Mansion were piled in the side room near Dongyuan.

 As long as you move your hands and feet inside, this fire will definitely burn the situation to the ground.

 Before that, she had already moved almost everything that needed to be moved in Dongyuan.

 Hence, everyone was prepared to leave.

 There is no attachment at all.

 The General's Mansion, where they were going to live next, saw Butler He and Aunt Dou leading people out to greet them after the carriages and horses had stopped.

 “I respectfully invite you, madam, to return home.”

 One sentence made Mrs. Xing smile.

Looking at the general's mansion given by the emperor, it seems like I have returned to the time when I was still living in my uncle's house.

Sister-in-law Liu and eighth sister Xue Niang also got off the carriage.

He walked up to Mrs. Xing and said.

"Didn't my aunt say before that she would move here to celebrate Laba with us? Now she has come a few days earlier, but cousin Zhao has to take Ping'er south to pick up my grandmother and several aunts for reunion. Otherwise, you can also move here first. Would you like to come and stay together?"

What sister-in-law Mrs. Liu said struck a chord with Mrs. Xing.

 She said with a loud smile.

 “I have packed my luggage, and I am just waiting for your words!”

As soon as she spoke, several others also laughed.

 Snow is falling, and the ground is pure white.

Three days later, before Mrs. Wei could exert her strength, a decree came from the palace.

The emperor was thinking of Shang Ji's meritorious service, so he canonized his wife Du Jingyi as the first-grade imperial concubine. His sister-in-law Liu, because of her meritorious service in guarding the family and having been the wife of the young prince before, she was canonized as the second-grade imperial concubine.

That's how to move the new home to get such a purpose. Whoever outside does not know that the general's house is flourishing.

At this time, if you rush to find trouble, you will be going against the nobles in the palace.

 In the front hall of the General's Mansion, Shang Ji and everyone knelt down to receive the order.

 “Long live my emperor, long live me.”

The person who came to deliver the edict was Eunuch Liu from before. After reading out the edict, he respectfully handed it to Du Jingyi and his sister-in-law Liu.

 “Congratulations, madam, congratulations, madam.”

Du Jingyi had heard the Queen mention it before, so he knew what was going on and was not too surprised.

After receiving the imperial edict, he replied with a smile.

 “Thank you, Your Majesty, the dragon’s grace is so great.”

 Eunuch Liu looked at the general's wife in front of him. She seemed to be more energetic than when she last announced the decree. It seemed that this red aura was really nourishing and was not fake.

On the other side, Mrs. Liu, the sister-in-law, was full of excitement and looked at the imperial edict in her hand with tears in her eyes, as if all her past grievances had turned into wind and rain, and she was relieved.

"Sister-in-law, please thank me first." Sister-in-law Liu only reacted after Shang Ji reminded her.

 Immediately said to Eunuch Liu with gratitude.

“My wife thanked the Lord for his kindness, and also thanked the empress.”

She felt like she had a clear mind. If Mrs. Xing had not taken them to the palace a few days ago, she would not have obtained the identity of Mrs. Gaoming.

 After all, Du Jingyi was able to obtain the imperial edict thanks to the merits of her husband Shang Ji.

 What about her?

Even though he was the young prince’s wife, my husband has never shown his face in front of His Majesty, so the Queen must have mediated this status.

 For this, she was extremely grateful.

 Then, he looked at Mrs. Xing and Du Jingyi with gratitude in his eyebrows.

If the two of them hadn't tried their best to let themselves follow him into the palace, I'm afraid this good thing wouldn't have happened so quickly.

With this identity, she will no longer be a transparent person when she appears at Mr. Ruguo's birthday party.

She doesn't care much about anything else. Ping'er's age is too old or too young. If it remains the same as before, I'm afraid she won't be able to arrange a good marriage.

 Now no matter what, she has this name.

 In the future, I will be able to help more with my son’s marriage.

Thinking of these, it feels like I have a goal.

After the decree was announced, Eunuch Liu was about to go back, so he spoke.

"It's getting late, and I have to rush back to the palace to resume my duties. I won't stay any longer. I'll invite the general to drink some other day to congratulate you on your move."

Eunuch Liu spoke politely, and so did Shang Ji.

“Eunuch Liu, you are so polite. I should be the one to invite my father-in-law to be my guest. We have just moved here now and there are still many things that have not been prepared. When the housewarming banquet is to be held, I should ask my father-in-law to show his respect.”

 “Easy to say, easy to say.”

 “I’ll send Eunuch Liu out, please.”

"please."

 “Eunuch Liu, walk slowly.”

 Everyone in the room saluted Eunuch Liu. After all, he represented His Majesty, so no one disrespected him.

 After exiting the door, I saw Aunt Dou and Mama Cai walking forward excitedly.

“Congratulations, young madam, congratulations, young madam, we have two royal ladies in our house all at once. This is a great joy.”

Mother Cai speaks quickly and speaks quickly.

 Mother Dou next to her did not forget to mention one more thing.

“It should be a blessing in disguise. Don’t forget, our young lady is pregnant now. It won’t be long before we have a baby in our house.”

Now everyone in the government belongs to them, so there is no need to hide the news.

No matter how long Mrs. Wei’s hands are, she can’t reach into the general’s mansion.

 Everyone looked at each other and smiled, and Xue Niang sighed.

“It would be great if this decree came yesterday, so that Cousin Zhao and Ping’er could be happy before leaving.”

The sister-in-law also smiled and replied after hearing this.

“Yes, I can also tell my grandmother the news, so that she will be happy as well.”

 She is now less cautious in her words than before, so occasionally she can let Snow Queen say a few witty words.

Seeing this, Mrs.

"Isn't this simple? Just ask someone to deliver a message to them. It's only been a day since we set out, and we won't be able to go very far."

 “This is a good idea.”
