Chapter 219: King's Favor

Whoever saw her would call her "Zong Liang Di" respectfully, which gave her a lot of face.

Therefore, she has been in the limelight in the East Palace these days.

On the 29th day of the twelfth lunar month, the day of the East Palace's annual banquet.

Du Jingyi and others followed Shang Ji to the banquet. As soon as they entered the flower hall, they saw Zong Liang Di standing next to the prince with a smile.

She smiled generously and appropriately, and her conversation was also very clear and sound, which stole the limelight from the concubines beside her. Therefore, in the dark, the concubines were also very angry, but they couldn't get angry because of the occasion.

When they arrived, they happened to see this scene.

Du Jingyi's eyes deepened. This person was inseparable from Wei Jialian before entering the East Palace, so it's better to pay more attention to her, so as not to cause trouble at that time, and add an enemy who whispers in the general's mansion, which is not worth the loss.

So, she smiled and said to the people on both sides.

"Cousin Lang and Xue Niang, you should be more careful today."

"Don't worry, Sixth Sister-in-law, I won't say a word."

Xue Niang has learned a lot from following Old Lady Gu these days, so she naturally knows that in such occasions, it is best to keep silent.

On the other side, Gu Xiaolang was dressed very coquettishly today, so her appearance attracted a lot of attention.

"Don't worry, cousin, Xiaolang understands."

Gu Xiaolang envied Du Jingyi from the bottom of her heart for being treated with love by cousin Shao Yu, and she naturally wanted to have such a perfect husband.

These days, whether in the mansion or at the banquet, she has been facing the couple every day. If she still doesn't understand that she can't get in at all, then she is blind.

So today, she let her mother and fourth aunt dress up for her as much as she can, and after all, she understands the significance of the East Palace Annual Banquet.

Du Jingyi glanced at Gu Xiaolang and felt that some words were not good to say, so he didn't say much nonsense.

He said "hmm" and took the two into the flower hall to greet people he knew.

In the East Palace, the one Du Jingyi knew the most was the Crown Princess.

Today was the East Palace's annual banquet, so the Crown Princess naturally had to deal with everyone.

However, when the three of them appeared, the Crown Princess saw them, so she gave a few instructions to the nanny beside her, and then saw the nanny rushing over and said.

"Madam, Miss Gu, Miss Eight, the Crown Princess invites you."

This move made others see the Crown Princess's attention to the few people, or the East Palace's attention to the General's Mansion, and Du Jingyi nodded and smiled, and said something.

"Thank you, Madam."

The few people were led by the madam to the side of the Crown Princess, and there were some ladies standing beside her. Du Jingyi was only a one-sided acquaintance with the others, but she knew Old Lady Guo better.

Beside Old Lady Guo was Lin, the mother of Guo's fourth son, who also smiled and looked at the three people.

"I greet the Crown Princess and all the ladies."

"I greet the Crown Princess and all the ladies."

They were not late, but everyone was always more active at the East Palace Annual Banquet, so they came earlier than them.

"Sixth Lang's wife, please get up quickly. You are still pregnant, don't be so polite."

The Crown Princess was polite, with curved eyebrows and eyes, and she didn't look sad at all.

Sure enough, this is the grace of being the main wife or the Crown Princess. She can smile without changing her face when she personally puts Liang Di next to her husband.

Du Jingyi asked herself that she couldn't do this.

"Thank you for your concern, Princess."

"Where's your grandmother? Why didn't you see her?"

Mrs. Guo was most concerned about her elder sister, so she naturally asked when she didn't see her.

Seeing this, Du Jingyi replied honestly.

"Grandmother has been a little tired these past two days, so she rested in the mansion today. Before coming here, she specifically told me to apologize to the Crown Prince and the Crown Princess."

"Oh, do you want to ask the imperial physician to take a look?"

"Replying to the Crown Princess, I have asked Doctor Wang to take a look. He said that there is nothing serious and she will be fine after resting for two days."

Seeing this, the Crown Princess was relieved.

Du Jingyi's clothes were not as thick as before, so the bulge of her belly could be seen now. Seeing her like this, Mrs. Guo was also full of emotion.

"You should 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 feels like to be pregnant, so she said so.

"Thank you for your concern, Madam Guo. I know."

"Well, good kid."

After saying this, Madam Guo turned her eyes to Gu Xiaolang and Shang Xueniang next to her, with a smile on her face.

Gu Xiaolang has always been outstanding in her eyes, but it is Xueniang next to her who makes people shine.

Compared to the day of the Lantern Festival, there has been a big change. The talent may not have improved much, but the person looks more relaxed than before.

Standing next to Du Jingyi and Gu Xiaolang, although not as outstanding as the two, she exudes the cleverness and quietness of a girl.

Seeing this scene, Mrs. Lin, the third wife of Guo, could not help but be a little satisfied.

The Guo family is prosperous, and there are six grandchildren in this generation. Guo Silang is one of them, and she is also her youngest son.

The older daughters-in-law in the family were all smart people who had been carefully selected, so she really didn't have many requirements for the younger daughter-in-law.

She just wanted to live a good life with her 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 in her heart.

Because the Gu family had all died for their country, given the relationship between her parents-in-law and the Gu family, if she married this daughter-in-law back, she would probably be the one who would be wronged as a mother-in-law.

However, due to the rules of the family, she couldn't refute it.

Who knew that after going to the canal for the Lantern Festival a few days ago, she was told that the eighth daughter of the merchant might be interested in concluding a good marriage with her son, so she was a little flattered.

Therefore, she was more satisfied with her than everyone else, and now she looked like a well-behaved and sensible girl.

Although she might not be very outstanding, such a temperament would mean that she would not cause trouble in the backyard. Therefore, Mrs. Guo San was interested in Xue Niang from this point alone.

So, he took a step forward and took the initiative to ask.

"This must be Miss Eight, I haven't seen her before."

Du Jingyi understood the importance of the Guo family's marriage to Xue Niang, and knew that the Guo family would definitely be present at the East Palace's annual banquet today, so he put some effort into her dress today.

She had the brightness of a young lady from an aristocratic family, and the elegance of a girl.
