Chapter 122 The Queen Summons

Du Jingyi nodded gratefully, as if Shang Ji was a plague god and wanted to ask him to leave immediately.

Shang Ji also saw the meaning in her eyes, so he reached out and touched her hair, and then chuckled before leaving.

When leaving, I saw the maid Yingtao buried her head deeply, staring at the tip of her shoes, without looking out at all.

I was very satisfied in my heart, thinking that this girl had learned the rules very well.

After others left, the master and servant breathed a sigh of relief.

Yingtao walked up to Du Jingyi and said.

"Madam, I was scared to death. I thought... I thought..."

I thought the general was going to take a bath with the young lady.

Although she didn't say it out loud, Du Jingyi understood what she meant.

To be honest, she might have really meant it at the beginning.

And now, Du Jingyi can only make up for it herself.

"My leg is cramped, so the general sent me here because he was afraid that I would feel pain. Don't think too much."

"So that's how it is. The general is really considerate to the young lady."

Cherry was also simple, and was coaxed by Du Jingyi in a few words.

It was not until many years later, when she herself lived this shameless life, that she realized that there was something called a little interest between husband and wife.

Then she served Du Jingyi to bathe carefully.

As for Shang Ji next door, several buckets of hot water were poured from head to toe, which was fast.

After everything was dressed, Luo Yuan was called over.

"Go find housekeeper He and nanny Dou."

"Yes."

Luo Yuan thought there was something important, so he hurried over.

After a while, he heard footsteps outside the house.

People have arrived.

"This old servant greets the general."

"Yes."

"I wonder why the general called us here?"

The two knew Shang Ji's temper and personality, and he was not a person who would beat around the bush, so they asked directly.

Shang Ji didn't waste any words and immediately gave the order.

"In the side room of the main house of the general's mansion, if you want hot water for bathing, you don't need someone to fetch water and deliver it repeatedly. Can you do it?"

This question confused the two.

But he soon reacted and answered.

"It should be possible. This old servant once heard that there is such a room in the palace."

"Yes, then go and arrange it, so that I don't have to disturb the whole yard to prepare water when I come back late in the future, which is troublesome."

The two looked like they had realized it, and they felt that their general was really a model of treating servants well.

But they didn't know that Shang Ji's purpose was actually for his future happiness, so they missed the smile on his lips.

If they saw it, they would be very confused.

Isn't the general naturally not fond of laughing?

What is he doing now?

Outside the house, the cold north wind continued to blow, but the house was warm.

It was a long time after they left that Du Jingyi came out of the side room and returned to the main house.

Originally, he thought that as long as I was not embarrassed, it would be others who were embarrassed, so he took a breath and rushed in.

Who knew that when he entered, he found that there was no one in the house.

"Where is the general?"

Du Jingyi asked Li Zhu who was following behind him. This girl had just left the main house and probably knew his whereabouts.

Sure enough, Li Zhu replied respectfully.

"The general went to the study and told the young lady to eat first. He had some difficult military affairs to deal with, so he didn't have lunch with the lady."

Hearing this, Du Jingyi breathed a sigh of relief.

He suddenly felt that his body was not so tense.

Once a person's spirit relaxes, he will naturally feel hungry.

He didn't have breakfast in the first place, and it was time for lunch outside.

Li Zhu naturally noticed that her young mistress was hungry, and immediately asked someone to send food to the table.

Looking at the not-so-much food on the table, Du Jingyi thought of her husband who was still in the study.

Li Zhu was not stupid, and hurried to say.

"Young mistress, don't worry, the general has also sent food, all of which are the general's favorite food."

"Well, that's good."

After saying this, Du Jingyi sat on the stool and chewed slowly.

Maybe she was really hungry, or maybe Dan Ruo's cooking skills had improved. In short, she ate more today than before.

But seeing her like this, the two maids were also very happy.

Especially Cherry.

She didn't forget what Mother Cai had said.

"Madam is too thin, she needs to eat more and sleep more to get well, and if she has a child in the future, she can eat well."

So, seeing Du Jingyi eating happily, her mouth never fell.

It was not until Du Jingyi had eaten most of the food and sighed that she could not eat any more that the two of them started to clean up.

She was tired after eating, but she got up late, so she was in good spirits at this time.

And there was nothing to do today, so Du Jingyi planned to read some leisure books.

By the way, she found a few interesting storybooks and sent them to her sister-in-law to have fun.

Otherwise, she would get sick if she was confined in the yard all day long.

There was a bookshelf against the wall in the main room, and there were piled with leisure books that Du Jingyi had collected when she was at her mother's house.

Some were strange and bizarre, and some were old news from the previous dynasty.

Du Jingyi took a few storybooks about immortals and began to read them.

She had read this book a few years ago.

Now it is an old book that is getting new eyes, and it is very interesting.

After reading for a cup of tea, I heard familiar footsteps outside.

Then I heard the voices of Yingtao and Lizhu.

"This servant greets the general."

Hearing that her husband was coming, Du Jingyi felt a little better than before.

She got up and sat down on the kang, and saw Shang Ji had already walked in, followed by Butler He.

Compared with his calmness, Butler He was very happy, which made Du Jingyi confused. She bowed to Shang Ji and asked curiously.

"General, is there any good news?"

When she spoke, Shang Ji did not seem to be very excited, and said calmly.

"Just now, the palace sent a message saying that the Queen will summon you to the palace for an audience tomorrow."

"Tomorrow?"

At this time, let alone Du Jingyi, even the two maids were shocked by the sudden news.

"Why so sudden?"

"It's not that sudden. The last time I went back to the palace for the banquet, I didn't see you. The Queen was worried about it. Now it's been a month or two, so of course she has to summon you."

Then he looked her up and down and said again.

"You are not yet a lady of the imperial court, so you don't have the court dress for an audience. Tomorrow you need to dress in accordance with your status. Don't be too outstanding, just be dignified and generous. Today is good enough."

His words fell into the ears of Du Jingyi, the master and the servant, word by word, and it actually brought the three people's thoughts to a head.
