Chapter 505 Queen Yan

"If you are willing, bring them to the palace to visit me. This will make me happier than any thank you. It just so happens that the princes and princesses are also in need of playmates."

Du Jingyi didn't dare to respond casually, so she just bowed and said "yes" and didn't say anything more.

Seeing this, Mrs. Guo also stood up, bowed to the queen mother, and took Du Jingyi out of Shoukang Palace. When she left, she also gave the queen mother a few words.

"Your Majesty has been working hard for a long time. It's time to rest more. Thinking for a long time is not necessarily a good thing. People still need to be at ease to enjoy peace and prosperity."

Queen Guo knew her mother's meaning very well. She smiled and nodded, and asked Eunuch Hu to personally send them out. After meeting up with the ladies outside, they rushed to Changchun Palace where the queen was.

When leaving Shoukang Palace, Du Jingyi breathed a sigh of relief, and then whispered to Mrs. Guo who was walking side by side.

"Thank you, Grandmother Guo, for helping you out."

"Relax, I'm here, I won't make things difficult for you."

When Old Lady Guo said this, it looked like Old Lady Gu was still alive. At this time, Du Jingyi couldn't help but wonder, if Grandmother was still alive, what would it be like to enter the palace with them today?

But thinking is thinking, after all, it is something that cannot be realized, so she can only continue to calm down and walk forward on the long and solemn palace road of the palace.

When they arrived at Changchun Palace, everything was obviously the same as before, but because of the change of owner, Du Jingyi felt different after entering the door.

A group of people walked into the courtyard. The most relaxed ones now were the Countess and the Minister's wife Li. One of them was the mother of the Queen, and the other was the Queen's sister-in-law. Naturally, they were both confident family members.

So, just looking at the smiles on their lips, you can tell that they are much more natural and open than just now in Shoukang Palace.

Perhaps because they were delayed in the Empress Dowager's Palace for a while, when they arrived, the relatives had already left. They didn't let them wait, and followed the eunuch who led the way into the hall of Changchun Palace.

There were already quite a few people sitting in the hall, all of whom were concubines and maids from the East Palace. Now that the emperor's decree had not yet been issued, everyone was addressed as noble ladies.

"I and others greet the Empress Dowager and the noble ladies."

As soon as the ladies with imperial decrees came in, the hall seemed a bit crowded, but they could still sit down. For example, Mrs. Guo, Du Jingyi, the Countess, and Mrs. Li, the wife of the Minister, all sat in the front.

Coincidentally, the person in front of Du Jingyi was the eldest daughter of the Xing family, Xing You, and now she should be called "Noble Lady Xing".

In the Empress' Palace, the two of them couldn't say hello, but they still nodded their heads. It's not right to hit a smiling person, so Du Jingyi naturally had to return a gentle smile.

This scene happened to fall into the eyes of Zong Liangdi who was sitting opposite. She had some other thoughts, but she quickly restrained them and didn't pay attention to them.

Queen Yan looked around, and the joy on her face was beyond words.

In any case, her throne as the queen is now stable, and what she needs to do is very simple, just two things, balance the relationship between the concubines in the harem, and teach the eldest prince and the third prince.

Therefore, for the imperial ladies who entered the palace this time, she naturally took the posture of winning them over, and immediately said with a smile.

"Ladies, please try the pre-rain Longjing tea that was sent this year."

"Thank you, your majesty."

They answered in unison, and Du Jingyi's involvement was not special.

However, she didn't dare to refuse the queen's reward, so she picked up the cup and took a sip. The tea was good, but the taste always felt a little strange, so the tea that was originally intended to be swallowed fell on the ice silk handkerchief in her sleeve.

Afraid that others would think she was out of place, she pretended to drink several sips, which caught the attention of Queen Yan.

"Does Madam Gu like this tea? I'll ask them to pack some for you to take back later."

With one sentence, Du Jingyi became the target of public criticism again.

She had to be respected in the Queen Mother's Palace and in the Queen's Palace. Although Du Jingyi knew that this was the treatment her husband received after being awarded the title of First-Class Duke, she did not dare to show it off. Who knows if the person sitting here is a ghost?

So, it is better to be careful about everything.

Therefore, she stood up and replied respectfully.

"Thank you for the reward, Madam. I am very grateful."

Her refusal made Queen Yan's expression relax a lot. After all, Gu Shaoyu is now the emperor's right-hand man, and her wife is also obedient to her as the queen, which is the best.

So she felt comfortable and liked everyone she saw.

As soon as the topic changed, she asked Madam Guo and the Countess.

"You must be tired after this day. Grandmother and mother should pay more attention to rest."

"Thank you for your concern, Your Majesty."

Everyone present was a person of status. They knew what to say and what not to say. So after the queen spoke, everyone followed suit. The atmosphere was quite lively. Du Jingyi calmly hid the handkerchief in her hand deeper, and her face still looked like she was listening to the fun.

In the past, she didn't know much about the women in the Prince's Eastern Palace. Except for the Crown Princess, Zong Liangdi and Xing You, she didn't know anything about the others. But today, sitting calmly, she saw a lot of tricks.

Queen Yan has already firmly occupied a high position, so she naturally has the demeanor of a queen mother, dignified and generous.

Since Consort Zong Liangdi was favored by the emperor and had the Sixth Prince by her side, she was also an outstanding figure. She would interrupt any lady she met, which showed that she had great ambitions.

Xing You's temperament was just like her name, calm and steady, always smiling slightly, and would only speak when the Queen called her. Although she didn't like to show off, her family background and temperament were there, and no one dared to underestimate her.

Sitting next to her was Consort Wang, who looked a bit old.

She was probably the older concubine in the East Palace. Du Jingyi had heard from his general that there was a concubine in the East Palace who was a maid who had taken care of the prince since she was a child. She gave birth to two sons and two daughters in one go, namely the eldest princess, the second princess, the second prince and the fourth prince, so she was given an exception.

She looked like a gentle person, but that was just her appearance. Du Jingyi didn't believe that she could raise four children in the East Palace without any family background. She must have some ability.

In addition, Concubine Lin and Concubine Li were sitting opposite. One was beautiful and the other was flamboyant. It was said that Concubine Li and Concubine Lin had once gone to the Crown Princess to make trouble because of Concubine Zong Liangdi's favor. They seemed to be people who could not tolerate any grain of sand in their eyes.
