My Stepmother Is Soft and Charming

Chapter 127 Warmth at Home

The carriage moved forward slowly, and the couple sat inside.

"Did the queen give you this jade ruyi?"

"Yes, it's a gift."

"You're lucky. This jade ruyi was given by the queen mother in the year when the queen was canonized. It has a very good meaning."

Du Jingyi was surprised and said "ah" after hearing this.

"Then is this in accordance with the rules?"

"Don't worry, since the queen can give it to you, it is naturally what you can get. Just go back and respect it well."

Du Jingyi nodded. Even if Shang Ji didn't say it, she would also place this thing high on the rosewood table in the main room to show the grace of heaven.

"By the way, the queen also said that the imperial edict to canonize me as a lady of imperial rank will be delivered before the New Year. General, is this a bit beyond the rules?"

After hearing this, Shang Ji was a little surprised, and then smiled and said.

"I was planning to wait for my grandmother to come to the palace to meet with me, and then ask the Empress to give you an annual reward. I didn't expect that the Empress would give it to you in advance. It's good that way, so that Madam Wei won't be able to exclude you and talk about your status every day."

"She is a concubine who was promoted to the main wife, how can she be compared with you?"

Then he said to Du Jingyi very seriously.

"If I had known that I would meet you earlier, I would not have allowed them to ruin my reputation in the past few years, and married so many tablets to occupy the status of the original wife. But in my heart, you are the original wife, understand?"

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

So, she had to be very alert and replied.

"I understand the general's intentions. The queen also has this idea, so she will reward me. But don't worry, I'm not so jealous that I will go against those people before. If the general hadn't been known as a wife-killer, I wouldn't have been able to marry into the Duke's Mansion with my family background."

This is the truth.

So sometimes, God really has his own arrangements.

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

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

"Yes."

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

After a while, the carriage stopped at the door of the Du family.

Du Jingyi didn't notice it, and thought that they would go back to the Duke's Mansion first and go to the Du family after lunch.

Unexpectedly, they came directly, so they were surprised and happy.

"The food at my father-in-law's house is really delicious, so I sent someone to deliver the message in advance, saying that we will come to the mansion for dinner, but don't worry, I specifically told the messenger to tell your sister to fill her stomach first. She is now two people and can't be hungry." His attentiveness and thoughtfulness made Du Jingyi very touched, and then he said with a mischievous smile. "General, do you believe it? My father, mother and sister must be waiting well, but my brother-in-law may be a little anxious. He must have found a lot of food for my sister and is persuading her to eat." Shang Ji looked at his wife's smiling face and didn't doubt what she said at all. "Let's go, then let's not delay." "Okay." After saying this, the couple walked into the Du family's door hand in hand. Sure enough, Du Jingyi guessed correctly. In Mingse Courtyard, everyone was looking forward to it, but brother-in-law He Shilin was holding cakes in his hand, and he was anxiously persuading Du Jingxiang to eat more. "Here they come, finally here."

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

Du Jingyi's steps were also much more relaxed than usual. It can be seen that she was really happy every time she came home.

This reminded Shang Ji of the happy days when he was at his grandfather's house, and he was a little absent-minded.

"My daughter is back late, are you hungry, daddy?"

"No, it's just the beginning. We know you are coming back for dinner, how can we eat first, right, son-in-law."

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

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

"The Queen and the Madam hit it off at first sight, so they stayed a little longer and kept my father-in-law and mother-in-law waiting for a long time."

Hearing this, the Du family and their husbands were slightly surprised. They thought their daughter and husband came from the Duke's Mansion.

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

"The queen didn't embarrass you, did she?"

"Don't worry, mother, my aunt was also present. The queen just asked me a few simple questions and didn't say much else."

The matter of being a lady of the imperial edict is of great importance.

Du Jingyi would not speak casually until the day when she really received the imperial edict.

Madam Du looked at her deeply, knowing that she was not lying, she was relieved.

But on second thought, the identity of her son-in-law is there, and there will probably be many opportunities to enter the palace in the future.

If they follow them every day, wouldn't it be hard for people to sleep.

Thinking of this, he was relieved a lot.

"That's good, that's good, but the queen is also well-known among the people, and I don't think she will embarrass you. I am worrying too much."

Shang Ji heard this and explained a few words on the side.

"When my mother was still alive, she and the empress were old acquaintances, so today I summoned you to ask about some family matters only. Mother-in-law, there is no need to worry."

"Okay, okay, don't worry, don't worry."

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

"Let's go, let's try the sausages that my mother-in-law just sent from Pingzhou. I miss the taste, but there are not many sent, so you can't take them back. After a few days, when the two elders come to Sui'an City, I'll ask her to make more, and then you can take it to your family to taste it."

"Since when did sister like to eat sausages? Aren't you afraid of the smoked taste?"

"I don't know, maybe the one in my belly likes it. Since I got pregnant, I've eaten a lot of things that I haven't touched before."

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

"It seems that this child is not picky and is easier to raise than my sister!"

"Tangtang~"

Du Jingxiang was originally as cute as a rabbit. She really acted like a spoiled child to Du Jingyi, as if she was the younger sister and Du Jingyi was the steady elder sister.

However, Du Jingyi also liked her tricks. Her eyes were full of pampering, and when she looked at the towering belly, some envy flashed.

Although she did not take the pregnancy-preserving medicine mentioned by Dou Mama, she had never deliberately used contraception.
