Chapter 480: Re-Entering the Palace

"Wei Jialian is also cruel. After returning home, she drank abortion pills and brought out the baby at such an old age. Sure enough, it was still a boy. She was wrapped in blood swaddling clothes and sent back to the Fourth Prince's Mansion. I heard that she was so frightened. Everyone in the prince’s palace is panicking.”

When Gu Shaoyu told the news, Du Jingyi was also filled with sadness.

For her, if her husband betrays her, then the child will only be born as a child of the Du family, and will never be coerced by anyone else. Like Wei Jialian, who directly killed the child and sent it back to her ex-husband's family, She really couldn't do it.

However, she won't blame him too much.

After all, I can bear it because my mother-in-law's family is considerate and I have the confidence to raise the child well. Therefore, I don't see her suffering and don't say she is evil.

"Then what are the plans of the Fourth Prince's Mansion now?"

"Of course she is completely separated from the Wei family, but there is news that the Dingpinghou Mansion is already selecting a suitable girl to send to the Fourth Prince's Mansion. I guess there will be another happy event in the Fourth Prince's Mansion in the past few days."

"So fast?"

When Du Jingyi asked this question, he quickly reacted.

It's not okay to be unhappy. If the emperor swallows it in one breath, the fourth prince will have to observe mourning for one year. Who knows whether the connection between the Dingping Hou Mansion and him will be as close as before. After all, the biggest connection is Wu'er. No, I heard that Concubine Jia was also seriously ill in bed.

Therefore, before Gu Shaoyu opened his mouth, she had already figured out a lot.

"What about Shang Qilang? Is there any movement? If Mrs. Wei knew that her good son had teamed up with the Dingping Marquis to commit such a game, what do you think she would think?"

When Mrs. Wei was mentioned, the disdain in Gu Shaoyu's eyes was very obvious, and then he took a sip of the tea at hand before speaking slowly.

"After doing so much, it's natural to let the Wei family know. Mrs. Wei has been planning for so many years and with so many people, so it's time for her to taste the feeling of being stabbed in the back by her family. Princess Fu is also a vicious person. It’s good to clean it up too!”

"General, do you have any ideas?"

"The Wei family has better ways to deal with them than I do."

Mrs. Wei came from Taiwei's Mansion. If it weren't for her mother's family's gain in power over the years, both the Gu family and the Duke's Mansion would have been in decline, and it would not have been her turn to uplift the noble concubine. Therefore, she and the Wei family have been mutually beneficial for so many years. Now Mr. Gu Yu wanted to see if his family, which had always been close to each other, still showed unity at this time!

After saying that, he drank the tea in his hand.

"By the way, the Queen has sent a message, saying that a banquet will be held at Changchun Palace the day after tomorrow to welcome you and the children."

"As a concubine? And the children? How could it be?"

"In the words of the empress, there are three children in one pregnancy. Such a good omen cannot be ignored, but it is not the children's two-year-old banquet. It is just a simple meal in the Changchun Palace."

A simple meal, there is nothing simple about this royal banquet.

Although Du Jingyi was a little surprised, since the news had been sent, if they didn't go, it would mean they didn't understand the rules, so he asked immediately.

"Who else did your Majesty invite?"

"East Palace, the Guo family, our family, and of course the Earl of Weiyuan's Mansion and the Li family that you miss so much."

Du Jingyi smiled when he heard about the Li family.

"Sure enough, nothing can be hidden from the general."

"If this relationship can really be settled, it will be a good thing for Sister-in-law and Ping'er. My father won't be able to hold on for much longer. It's time for Ping'er to take charge of his own affairs."

"Dad, is his illness still not getting better?"

"No."

Gu Shaoyu did not tell the story of Mrs. Wei's ill treatment of the Duke Shang Yukuan. Firstly, he did not want her to worry about it, and secondly, there was no need. His situation was not necessarily any better than that of the emperor. So it is impossible to tell who is in front and who is behind.

Therefore, he did not intend to say such things that would make people feel guilty.

From now on, even if my father has a grudge in his heart and wants to scold him in his sleep, he can just scold him alone. There is no need for his wife and sister-in-law to take responsibility.

Therefore, I suppressed my thoughts and accompanied Du Jingyi to talk about other things.

"Brother Tai will be three years old in a few days. After these things are over, I plan to take him to live in the Huben Army for ten days and a half, so that he can develop his delicate temperament and support it in the future. If the Gu family only knows wealth and does not understand suffering, it will not work."

Du Jingyi had no objection to this.

"The general is the one who makes the decision. Brother Tai likes General Mu very much now. Maybe he will go to the military camp and see everything new."

What Du Jingyi said reminded Gu Shaoyu of the days when he first entered the military camp with his grandfather when he was a child. At that time, he was accompanied by several cousins. He persisted until the third day and couldn't help crying.

Therefore, he was also curious, when will Brother Tai start crying?

Outside the window, the sprouting branches are growing harder and harder, and inside the house, it is warm and cozy.

Two days passed by in a flash.

Everyone in the Gu family got up early to prepare for entering the palace.

The palace banquet at Changchun Palace was scheduled for noon, but they didn't really go there for that meal, so it was natural to go earlier.

And this time, it was also the first time that the three brothers showed their faces in front of the powerful people in Sui'an City, so the Gu family also paid great attention to it.

Rutai Ge'er has a high status, so his clothes are in accordance with the rules, but the three brothers usually wear comfortable and simple clothes, so it is not appropriate to wear such clothes to meet the queen.

Fortunately, Hu Gonggong in Changchun Palace is also a careful person. When he sent the news, he sent a few sets of clothes prepared by the inner court department, so no one can say anything wrong when the three brothers change into them today.

As for Gu Shaoyu and Du Jingyi, they are also people of rank. Since it is a palace banquet, they naturally have to wear court clothes that conform to the rules.

Therefore, everyone in Xitangyuan is careful and everyone is serious, not daring to make any mistakes.

After dressing up, everyone left the door of Xitangyuan.

And the eldest sister-in-law Liu and Ping'er were also ready, only the Du couple stayed at home, hoping that they would return early.

When the carriage drove towards the imperial city, Du Jingyi was still a little nervous.

After all, the last time she went there, she and Madam Gu went to the palace to resign. Now three years have passed. She is still the same, but Empress Guo may not be the same Empress Guo as before.

Glancing at her sister-in-law Liu who was sitting next to her, Du Jingyi relaxed a little because of her reserved and restrained appearance. After reaching out and shaking her hand, Du Jingyi said comfortingly.
