MTL - My Stepmother is Soft and Charming-Chapter 566 Mother and son fight
Comparing to her sudden change of expression, Du Jingyi glanced at Queen Yan specifically.
She behaved calmly and as usual, which made Du Jingyi couldn't help but admire her. Who doesn't know that the Xing family is in the spotlight now, in the harem and in the front dynasty. It should have been the most noble Queen Yan and the Earl's Mansion. Compared with the Xing family's People all seem a bit incompetent.
It can be seen from the fact that Queen Yan came by herself this time, while Concubine Xing came with the Seventh Prince and the Emperor.
“The ministers (concubines) (concubines) and others have met the emperor, and respectfully wish the emperor’s blessing, the noble concubine’s golden blessing, and the seventh prince’s golden blessing.”
Following everyone else, he bent down to salute. When he raised his head again, Du Jingyi took a careful look at the favored Concubine Xing.
She was still as cold as ever, but the seventh prince next to her looked very different from her temper. At such a young age, there was a bit of anger in his eyebrows. Du Jingyi closed his eyes, thinking that he had seen it wrong. .
The last time Du Jingyi saw the emperor was at the Guo family.
At that time, he came out of the palace incognito, so naturally he was not as domineering as he is now wearing a dragon robe.
He was already in his thirties when he ascended the throne. Now that he is in control of the government, he is naturally more confident than before. Therefore, every step he takes shows the majesty of an emperor. Unfortunately, this majesty hides the secrets of his family. Brutal.
Seeing this, Du Jingyi understood why the emperor loved the seventh prince so much. Not only did they look similar, but they also had the same temperament. In comparison, the most popular eldest prince born to Queen Yan actually had He looks a bit like Guo Xiang.
They are all kind-hearted and caring about the country. The emperor may not like such a son in his heart.
The emperor led Concubine Xing and the Seventh Prince up the steps. They first saluted Queen Mother Guo and then took their seats one by one. Although Concubine Xing's seat was at the back, it was facing the emperor. Speaking of which, this layout was approved by the emperor, so the earl The people in the government naturally feel threatened.
“Everyone please be at peace, today is both a state banquet and a family banquet, so there is no need to be formal.”
“Thank you, Your Majesty!”
Eunuch Liu, who was serving the emperor, patted him when he saw this. Soon the maids outside filed in. Those who served the food served the dishes, and those who served the wine served the wine. Everyone sat down according to their seats, and there was no mistake.
Du Jingyi turned around and glanced at the four children. Under the leadership of Tai Geer, they all sat in an orderly manner and nodded slightly. There was nothing too outstanding, and they felt quite calm.
Unexpectedly, as soon as she sat upright, she heard the emperor ask with concern.
“With Shao Yu away this year, did Mrs. Gu and her children have a successful New Year?”
When his name was suddenly called, Du Jingyi wanted to keep a low profile, but he didn't allow it at the moment. He immediately stood up and saluted, and then replied respectfully.
“Thank you for your concern, Your Majesty. My wife and children are all well.”
"Well, that's fine. In a few months, Shaoyu will be back. By then your family will be reunited, and I can feel more comfortable in my heart."
The emperor's words fell on Du Jingyi's ears, and he couldn't figure out what he wanted to do. But the other courtiers heard this and had to look at Du Jingyi more.
In the past six months, the General's Mansion has been low-key and seems to have no sense of presence. Now that the emperor mentioned it like this, many people's eyes were cast on Du Jingyi, and some even looked at Brother Tai through Du Jingyi. He was the future Duke of the Gu family. He was still young in the past, so naturally he couldn't attract attention. How much attention.
But now he is already a half-year-old child. Looking at his calm and calm look, you can tell that he will not be a simple person in the future.
And the three brothers sitting next to him, although some looked similar and some were not similar in appearance and temperament, they were all different from each other, and the eyes they looked at their mother and son suddenly became a lot more complicated.
Suddenly, Queen Mother Guo coughed a few times. The emperor was a filial son, so he was naturally concerned.
“Is the queen’s cough still not good?”
“As people get older, they will naturally have more problems. The emperor does not need to worry about his family’s worries.”
"Well, Sui'an City is a bit colder and not suitable for recuperation, so it is better to go south to Jinling Palace. I will arrange for them to speed up tomorrow and send my mother there as soon as possible to take good care of her."
Queen Mother Guo glanced at her son's face. He looked more and more similar to the late emperor. The similarities with the Guo family were gradually peeled away by him. Thinking of this, Queen Mother Guo made a He smiled extremely hypocritically and said.
“Let the emperor bother and build a lot of construction for an old woman like the Ai family. If someone says that the emperor is extravagant in the future, won’t it be me, the queen, who has harmed you?”
Hearing this, the emperor's face didn't look good.
The look in her eyes towards Queen Mother Guo was also full of warning, as if she was telling her to shut up quickly and stop showing off Guo Xiang’s airs of “promoting” himself.
"How could it be? Jinling City is originally the mother's hometown, and the leaves have fallen back to their roots. Moreover, my grandfather's family has also settled in Jinling City. You can reunite with your family when you go to the palace there. All the pain of lovesickness in these years is great for us. Good thing, if someone wants to get involved and cause something to happen that will make the Queen's return home difficult, then I will definitely make him look good!"
The ministers were all watching the comings and goings between mother and son, Empress Dowager Guo, and the emperor, but no one dared to say a few words rashly, including the relatives of the royal family.
After the emperor came to power, it was not only veterans like Guo Xiang who were deprived of power, but also the rights of many royal family members were gradually restricted.
King Fu was influenced by the Wei family, so he was kicked out of the court early. Now he is living an ordinary life with his son and Xin Na's two beautiful concubines, so he doesn't have any evil intentions. ability.
King De died, and King Min's health deteriorated day by day. Seeing that the crown prince of Min King was not a mature person, the royal family was not a threat in the eyes of the emperor.
Not even as powerful as Princess Yuehua, but she did understand the emperor very well. After returning to the fiefdom of Yizhou, she would send several beautiful women to the palace to compete for favors every once in a while.
Although they are incomparable to the powerful concubines of the mother clan like Concubine Xing, it is still easy to get some favor from the emperor in the cracks.
Therefore, among the people sent by Princess Yuehua, there are now three who have been canonized as nobles, and the others also have their own positions. Therefore, Princess Yuehua can live a more satisfactory life in the fiefdom than before by virtue of this.
When Empress Dowager Guo heard this, her lips showed a hint of a smile, and then she said something strangely.
“Then Aijia, let’s wish the emperor’s wishes come true.”
