Chapter 565 Young Master

"My son, I have seen my mother and asked her to be safe.

"My wife and I have met the Queen Mother, and I would like to ask the Queen Mother to be kind to you."

At the same time, Du Jingyi and others also wanted to salute the queen, so everyone in the hall hurriedly knelt down.

"Let's all keep our bodies straight. There's no need to be formal on such a beautiful day."

"Thank you, mother."

"Thank you, Queen Mother."

Empress Yan personally helped Empress Dowager Guo onto the phoenix couch. The two of them were sitting on the left and right sides of the emperor, which showed their status. As for the other concubines, even those who were as favored as Concubine Xing, at this time All you can do is lean back and don’t mess with any rules.

Mrs. Xing was standing around all the ladies she had made friends with recently. When she saw that the Guo family and Du Jingyi were all following Mrs. Guo, she looked at them with a half-smile.

Du Jingyi noticed her gaze, and after nodding his head sideways, he found his seat and sat down without saying much.

Mrs. Xing was a little unhappy about this.

After all, the Xing family and the Gu family are related by marriage, but over the years, even in the days when they were in Jinling City, they had always only had close contact with the third family and rarely had anything to do with them.

Therefore, Mrs. Xing felt from the bottom of her heart that Mrs. Gu was not a good person.

The same thing happened when they came to Sui'an City. They lightly sent a message and asked them to eat at a merchant's birthday banquet. What if this wasn't to lower their status?

So I didn't care whether it was a slap in the face or not, I just sent some congratulatory gifts, which was considered as the courtesy of this post.

Today, if Du Jingyi is willing to come forward and say something to break the ice, then she will be happy to maintain this relationship. But seeing her follow Mrs. Guo, it seems that the Gu family is determined to have a relationship with Guo. The family is in the same boat.

The Guo family and the Xing family are not incompatible, but after all, one is the former prime minister and the other is the future prime minister. There is always some unspeakable subtle relationship between them, and Du Jingyi's move also made Xing The eldest lady knew one thing.

That is, it would be very difficult to get the General's Mansion to fully support the Xing family and the Seventh Prince.

So after gathering her mind, she continued talking to the ladies she wanted to win over, without paying much attention to this side.

Not long after Du Jingyi sat down, the Vice Minister's wife, Mrs. Li, and Mrs. Li came around. Both of their families were related to the Gu family by marriage, so it was normal for them to be closer than others.

"Mrs. Li, sister-in-law of the Yan family.

"Mrs. Gu."

"younger sister."

After a few simple greetings, the assistant minister's wife, Mrs. Li, went straight to the point and asked.

"How come you came here with the Queen Mother, but went to see her in advance?"

"The Queen Mother said she is going to the Jinling Palace in a few days, so she wants to see the children again before going. If not, we will bring them into the palace to pay homage to the Queen Mother."

"So that's it. It's a good thing to go to the palace. It's much warmer there than in Sui'an City. I think it's good to stay healthy. Besides, the scenery of the Jiangnan water town is also beautiful. It will make you feel better if you walk around more."

When she said this, her face was full of sincerity, so Du Jingyi tentatively believed that she was sincere, but the ladies standing here all have delicate hearts, so just believe what she said, leaving some room for it. , listen to see if there is anything more to say.

Sure enough, in the next sentence, Mrs. Li, the assistant minister's wife, brought out her third brother and said hurriedly.

"It's summer this year, and it's time for my third brother to be transferred to Quanzhou. In my opinion, it's better to go back to Jinling City, so that my siblings and children won't be so homesick. I can stay in Jinling City and take care of each other with the Gu family. As a sister-in-law, I can feel more at ease.”

The purpose of going around and around is nothing more than reminding Du Jingyi from time to time that the relationship between their two families is broken, and they want to force the Gu family to express their stance as soon as possible.

Du Jingyi pretended not to understand and replied.

"The general never told me about the affairs of the court. I'm a woman and don't know much about it. But as the Yan family's sister-in-law said, it would be more convenient if my sister-in-law could be transferred back to Jinling City."

Li naturally knew that Du Jingyi was pretending not to understand, but after dealing with him for so many days, she also knew that Du Jingyi's temper was not the kind that could be easily controlled, so she didn't say anything more.

"Make it easy for me to find you. Where did I think you went?"

The appearance of sister-in-law Liu gave the two of them a step forward. She and Mrs. Li greeted each other cordially, then walked to Du Jingyi and said.

"Don't forget tomorrow, you are going to have a meal at home. Last time, some children clamored to eat soybean lactose. I asked the kitchen to prepare ingredients and made plenty for them when I got up early in the morning. Some, it’s good to eat something sweet during the first month of the year, so don’t deny it to them.”

Du Jingyi smiled and said helplessly.

"My sister-in-law has spoken, what else can I say? Brother Tai and his brothers have gone, I'm afraid they don't want to go back to the general's mansion."

"My child likes to eat sweet things. You are a bit more strict on weekdays, so you are naturally looking forward to it during the New Year and the holidays."

When they spoke, they were sincerely talking about the filial piety of their parents. Mrs. Li was more concerned about her daughter and grandson, who had given birth less than three months ago. How are they doing now?

Sister-in-law Mrs. Liu knew what she was thinking, so she responded helpfully.

"Yuan Mei was supposed to go to the palace today, but the child cried so much before she left that she had to stay. Don't worry, mother-in-law. In winter, children always stick to their mothers. Let them take the child back to you and father-in-law the next day and you will know that he is growing fast."

After hearing this, Mrs. Li felt relieved.

Ping'er's child was born in October. He looks like both his father and mother. He is a lucky child. Not long after he was born, Ping'er submitted a memorial to ask for the child to be named the young master of the Duke's Mansion.

This move touched the people of the Li family. You should know that this request could have been postponed until the child was 20 years old, but his statement gave the Li family enough respect. Therefore, the Li family also sent a lot of birthday gifts to the Duke's Mansion with drums and gongs, and the relationship between the two families became closer.

Originally, I wanted to say something else, but I heard a voice from outside.

"The Emperor has arrived, Concubine Xing has arrived, and the Seventh Prince has arrived."

When the minister's wife, Mrs. Li, heard this, her expression turned a little unhappy, but it was only for a moment, and she quickly adjusted herself.
