MTL - My Stepmother is Soft and Charming-Chapter 219 Your favor
Whoever called her disrespectfully, "Zong Liangdi", actually gave her a lot of face.
So she is in the East Palace, and it is very popular these days.
The twenty-ninth day of the twelfth lunar month is the day of the East Palace annual banquet.
Du Jingyi and others went to the banquet with Shang Ji. When they entered the flower hall, they saw Zong Liangdi standing next to the prince with a full smile.
She smiled generously and decently, and spoke loudly, but she stole the spotlight from the concubines beside her, so when they were in the dark, the concubines were also itching their teeth with hatred, but because of the bad occasion attack.
When they arrived, they happened to see this scene.
Du Jingyi's eyes couldn't help but deepen. This person was inseparable from Wei Jialian before entering the East Palace, so he had to pay more attention to avoid getting into trouble and adding an enemy to the general's mansion. It’s just that the gain outweighs the loss.
So, he smiled and said to the people on the left and right.
“Cousin Lang and Xue Niang, please be more careful today.”
“Sister-in-law Six, don’t worry, I won’t say a word nonsense.”
Xue Niang has learned a lot from Mrs. Gu these days, so she naturally knows that it is always wrong to say anything in this situation, and it is best to keep her mouth shut.
Gu Xiaolang, who was standing on the other side, was dressed very delicately today, so her appearance attracted a lot of attention.
“Cousin, don’t worry, Xiao Lang understands.”
From the bottom of her heart, Gu Xiaolang envied Du Jingyi's ability to receive the loving treatment of cousin Shao Yu. Naturally, she also wanted to have such a wishful husband.
These days, whether at home or at banquets, she is facing the couple every day. If she still can't understand that she can't get in, then she is blind.
That's why she asked her mother and fourth aunt to dress up for her today. After all, they understand the meaning of the East Palace New Year's Banquet.
Du Jingyi glanced at Gu Xiaolang and felt that it was not good to say some words from his own mouth, so he didn't waste any more nonsense.
With a "huh" sound, he led the two of them into the flower hall, where they met with acquaintances and exchanged polite greetings.
In the East Palace, the person Du Jingyi knew the most was the Crown Princess.
Today is the annual banquet in the East Palace, so the Crown Princess naturally has to go around everywhere.
However, when the three of them appeared, the Crown Princess saw it, so she gave a few instructions to the nanny beside her, and she saw the nanny hurried over and said.
“Young Madam, Miss Gu, Miss Eight, the Crown Princess invites you.”
This move allowed others to see the importance the Crown Princess attached to these people, or the importance the East Palace attached to the General's Mansion. Du Jingyi nodded and said something.
tasks.
A few people were led by the nanny to go to the Crown Princess, and there were still some ladies standing next to her at the moment. The other Du Jingyi only had one-sided acquaintances, but she knew Mrs. Guo better.
Next to Mrs. Guo was Guo Jiasilang’s mother, Lin, who was also looking at the three of them with a smile.
“I have met the Crown Princess and all the ladies.”
“My daughter has met the Crown Princess and all the ladies.”
They were not too late actually, but everyone at the East Palace New Year Banquet was always more active, so they arrived earlier than them.
"Liu Lang's wife, please get up quickly. You are still pregnant, so don't be too polite."
The Crown Princess was polite, her eyebrows were curved, and she didn't look sad at all.
Sure enough, this is the magnanimity of a royal wife or a crown princess. She can personally go to her husband's side and greet her with a smile without changing her expression.
Du Jingyi asked himself that he couldn't do this. “Thank you, Crown Princess, for your concern.”
“Where is your grandmother? Why didn’t you see her coming?”
Old Madam Guo is most concerned about her elder sister, so she naturally asked if she didn't see anyone.
Seeing this, Du Jingyi replied honestly.
“Grandma has been a little tired these past two days, so she rested in the house today. Before coming, I specifically asked my wife to apologize to the prince and princess.”
“Oh, can I ask the imperial doctor to come over and take a look?”
“Back to the Crown Princess, I’ve asked Dr. Wang to go over and take a look at her. She said it’s nothing serious and she just needs to rest for two days.”
Seeing this, the Crown Princess felt relieved.
Du Jingyi’s clothes are not as thick as they were a few days ago, so the bulge of her belly can now be seen. Seeing her like this, Mrs. Guo was also filled with emotion.
“You should also take good care of yourself, the next few months will be very tiring.”
Mrs. Guo has given birth to four children, three sons and one daughter, so she is very familiar with what it is like to be pregnant, so she said this.
“Thank you, Madam Guo, for your concern. I understand.”
“Well, good boy.”
After saying this, Mrs. Guo turned her eyes to Gu Xiaolang and Shang Xueniang next to her, with smiles on her face.
Gu Xiaolang has always been outstanding in her eyes, but it was Xue Niang next to her who made her eyes shine.
Compared to the day of the Lantern Festival, there has been a big change. The talented person may not have made much progress, but the person seems to be much more relaxed than before.
Standing next to Du Jingyi and Gu Xiaolang, although they are not as brilliant as the two of them, they still show the well-behaved and quiet nature of their daughter's family.
Seeing this scene, Mrs. Guo's third wife Lin's eyes couldn't help but be filled with satisfaction.
The Guo family is prosperous, and there are six grandchildren in this generation. Guo Silang is one of them, and he is also her youngest son.
The eldest daughter-in-laws in the family are already carefully selected and intelligent people, so she really does not have many requirements for the younger daughter-in-law.
As long as you can live a good life with your son.
At the beginning, her parents-in-law also told her that they wanted to get engaged to the Gu family, but she was not very happy about it.
Because all members of the Gu family have died for the country, and based on the friendship between her parents-in-law and the Gu family, if her daughter-in-law gets married, she is the one who will be wronged.
It's just that due to the rules at home, she couldn't refute it.
Unexpectedly, after going on the Lantern Festival canal tour a few days ago, she was told that the merchant's eighth lady might be interested in forming a good relationship with her son. She was somewhat flattered by this.
Hence, I feel more satisfied than anyone else, and now I see that he is a well-behaved and sensible person.
Although she may not be too outstanding, such a temperament means that she will not cause trouble in the back house. Therefore, from this point alone, Mrs. Guo San is fond of Xue Niang.
So, he took a step forward and asked proactively.
“This must be Miss Eight, she was rarely seen before.”
Du Jingyi understands the importance of the Guo family to Xue Niang, and also knows that the Guo family will definitely be present at the East Palace New Year Banquet today, so he put some effort into her dress today.
It has both the beauty of a young lady from a noble family and the elegance of a daughter’s family.
