My Stepmother is Soft and Charming

After hearing this, the prince smiled and said.

I am not too late.

No, it's just right.

The other ministers have all arrived as they should, except for those relatives of the emperor, who all have to arrive later for the so-called dignity of the royal family.

It seems that arriving late can show their dignity.

So the prince glanced at the cars and horses parked in front of the general's palace and smiled, with a shrewd look in his eyes.

Let's go. Now that I'm here, I naturally want to go to the palace to pay a visit to Mrs. Gu. Queen Mother Qian Dingzhu and Wan asked me to bring her a message. When her body and bones are better, I must go to the palace. Juju is the one.”

The words were full of kindness.

People can tell at a glance the queen's attitude towards the Gu family, and this is also the prince's attitude towards the Gu family.

Then Shang Ji said respectfully.

Grandma knows the Queen's concern, so she recovers from her illness very quickly. When she is completely cured, she will naturally go to the palace to see the Queen.

After hearing this, the prince felt very happy.

Then he walked into the gate of the General's Mansion and went straight to the front hall.

This was the first time for the Crown Prince and Crown Princess to come to the General's Mansion. They looked around and then said with a smile.

The repairs are good. It can be seen that a lot of thought was put into it, but it doesn't look like Mukuro's handiwork.

Prince Hui, it was my wife Du who majored in it. She spent several years in Jinling City when she was young, so she was very fond of the garden scenery.

No wonder, I seem to have a Jiangnan style.

The prince once heard his mother mention Mrs. Du, and she was said to be a very smart and virtuous woman.

How confident they are that such a person can be by Shang Ji's side.

Following suit, they walked to the front hall. Everyone who was chatting and laughing heard voices coming from outside.

His Royal Highness the Crown Prince has arrived, the Crown Princess has arrived, Prime Minister Guo has arrived, and the General has arrived.

Mrs. Gu stood up with a flattering look on her face and said to Mrs. Guo next to her.

It's hard for the prince and the prime minister to worry about this.

What did the old sister say? The friendship between our two families for many years should be like this.

Prime Minister Guo arrived at this time, and Mrs. Gu didn't think anything was wrong.

The prince arrived at this time, and at first glance he knew that he was doing something for them, the widows of the Gu family.

Otherwise, a family like the Gu family, which has no children or grandchildren to take over the position, would only have immediate glory.

Do not deserve the favor and attention of others.

There were so many people here today that no one could clearly see the importance that the Gu family held in Shang Ji's heart.

Now that the Prime Minister's Mansion and the Prince of the East Palace are also included, it is natural to know who will be honored at today's dinner.

Seeing this, everyone got up and walked outside.

When they saw the prince, they all knelt down to pay homage.

I (the minister's wife) have met the prince and the prince's concubine.

Prime Minister Guo and Shang Ji shied away one after another. As ministers, they couldn't afford to kneel down like this.

Everyone, please stand up. We are the host of the General's Mansion today, so there is no need to be formal.

Thank you, Prince.

Saying this, Shang Ji welcomed the prince into the front hall and main room.

Today in the General's Mansion, there are no separate tables for men and women, but they are mixed together.

The front hall is large enough, so it doesn't feel crowded when there are many people here. Instead, it's a place where old friends meet and chat happily.

As soon as the prince arrived, many courtiers who had been greeting each other before came closer.

Everyone wanted to show their face in front of the prince and gain some appreciation.

This scene made Shang Zhiping sweat a little, and revealed a sense of nervousness and unconfidence.

He Shilin next to him also swallowed nervously because he had never seen such an occasion.

The two looked at each other and saw tension in each other's eyes.

This touch actually melted a lot.

After all, today is their home court, so they can't just hide behind and let others see their cowardice.

Therefore, Shang Zhiping gritted his teeth and stood still, and did not say anything about approaching the prince. However, compared with the way he used to hide behind whenever something happened, he had improved a lot.

Sister-in-law Mrs. Liu stood behind her son, not protecting him like before, but giving him strength.

This support from his mother made Shang Zhiping feel more at ease.

Then I heard the prince talking to Mrs. Gu with a lot of concern.

I see that the old lady's body is quite strong, and her demeanor and appearance are still the same as before. It seems that this General's Mansion is a treasure, and the old lady has been raised very well.

When the prince said this, his words were sincere.

Mrs. Gu could hear it, and because he was the son of Queen Guo, she said it with some kindness.

What His Highness said is that if Shaoyu and his wife are more respectful to their elders, their health and bones will naturally be good.

How about saying that Mrs. Gu is a human spirit? The words are simple but the meaning is very clear.

Shang Ji and Du Jingyi were very filial to her, so they were in good health.

But the Duke of Guo and Mrs. Wei came to make trouble, so she became angry and sick.

Those two people were really sitting at home, and the pot came from the sky. They probably didn't expect that Mrs. Gu would complain like this in front of everyone, in front of His Royal Highness.

It just so happened that the prince was also a person with seven orifices and an exquisite heart, and he quickly understood the meaning.

So, he said it quite meaningfully.

In my Daxing Dynasty, filial piety is the law. Liulang and his wife should be filial to you. If someone asks you to stop ironing your clothes in the future, just call someone to report to the East Palace. I want to see who dares to Are you being disrespectful and disobedient to Mrs. Gu?

Hearing this, all those with sharp ears and eyes understood.

With the prince as a guarantee, Mrs. Gu might be able to walk away in Sui'an City in the future.

You know, the prince is not a person without real power.

Now most of the imperial court is under his control. Although His Majesty is still in charge of the imperial court, he has not been in the imperial court for several years, so the prince has been supervising the country for several years.

Now it's just a matter of getting through the day. When His Majesty dies, the Prince will naturally ascend the throne and become the emperor.

With the future new emperor protecting him, no one is stupid and insists on causing discomfort to the Gu family.

Therefore, at this moment, the ladies looked at the widows of the Gu family with a little more respect in their eyes.

What's more, even Gu Xiaolang, who was standing aside, received a little more attention.

You know, on an occasion like today, whose wife doesn't feel like a mirror in her heart.

But really speaking, Xing Zhao's market situation is much better than Gu Xiaolang's.

The Xing family has real power and a rich family background. Their mother-in-law, Mrs. Xing, seems to be easy to get along with, so people who come into contact with Mrs. Xing gather around her several times.

But no one cares about the third aunt and sister-in-law Liu.

But now, not only Gu Xiaolang, but also Xue Niang suddenly stood out from the crowd, looking much more likable than before.
