My Stepmother is Soft and Charming

He Shilin also said that he was not nervous. When he walked down the aisle, he felt like he was on the same page. Seeing this, the Du family couldn't help but smile.

The four of them took a carriage and a horse, and hurried to Gongyuan.

When we waited, it was only the beginning, and the list was already filled with people, and everyone looked up to see if there was anyone on the list.

If there is, immediately shout happily.

If there is none, he will be disgraced and go to the side to hide his face and cry.

The two layers of joy and sorrow make people feel emotional.

Before coming, He Shilin was afraid of this and worried about that. When he arrived, he threw everything behind and trotted over to the list.

The three members of the Du family followed closely behind. They are all literate and can read together faster.

Carefully, he didn't even miss the name in the corner. It wasn't until the eleventh place in the top three that he finally saw He Shilin's name.

Mr. Du shouted excitedly.

It's on the list, it's on the list! It's here!

His roar made many people join in the fun, but seeing that they were only in the top three, they hurriedly focused their attention on those in the first grade.

That is the true glory of the ancestors.

But the people of the Du family were surprised that He Shilin was on the list, so it didn't matter if he was in the top three, at least the local officials couldn't escape.

He Shilin walked over with excitement in his eyes. After seeing his name for sure, the hanging heart in his heart finally settled.

Although the results are somewhat unsatisfactory, they are at least better than failing.

Moreover, his parents' expectation for him has always been to return to Pingzhou and take up his official position, even if it is smaller, it is a good thing, so he really can't hide the smile on his face.

Okay, after studying hard for more than ten years, I finally see hope. Let's go home and send this good news to Pingzhou and then to the General's Mansion. Let your sister be happy too.

He Shilin nodded with a smile, and this matter that had been pending for a long time finally came to an end.

Unlike his contentment, the Duke of Guo is now a bit slapped in the face.

Shang Qilang was naturally on the list, but he didn't make it to the first grade.

Fourth place in the second class is already a good result for many students, but for Mrs. Wei, it is a bit unsatisfactory.

Shang Qilang also frowned fiercely. Logically speaking, he shouldn't. When he got the dossier, he wrote a lot in a eloquent manner. He didn't think he would be among the top three in the first-class list, nor would he fall below the second-class list. right.

Therefore, when I saw this result, my face was not very good.

However, the Grand Duke Shang Yukuan lived up to his name, and he said with a smile as if he could not see the seriousness on everyone's faces.

Qilang is really amazing. He achieved such results in the first scientific examination. It really shines a bright light on our business. When we go back, as a father, let them set off the firecrackers that your mother ordered yesterday to set off the firecrackers in a lively manner.

When these words fell into Mrs. Wei's ears, they seemed to turn into a mockery.

And she couldn't hold it back and replied disdainfully to her husband.

Can Erjia also shine on the lintel of the Duke's palace? Master, do you think our Qilang only has this ability? Or do you mean that in your eyes, Liulang is the moon that everyone admires, and our Qilang is nothing?

She was good at misinterpreting people's opinions, and she changed the direction of Shang Yukuan's good intentions in just a few words. This time, even though Shang Qilang had not had such thoughts before, he was now dissatisfied because of his unsatisfactory results.

Therefore, he looked at Shang Yukuan rather sadly and said.

Does father really feel this way?

Shang Yukuan was shocked. His son was on the list. This was something to be happy about. Why did mother and son act as if something was wrong?

Just kidding, since when did being a father mean this?

Then he looked at Mrs. Wei with dissatisfaction and said angrily.

Look what you are provoking here, you are talking about a wonderful happy event... hum...

His head hurt from being rejected by the General's Mansion these days, and he was still counting on Qilang to be happy for two days. Unexpectedly, he was disappointed before he was happy for half a quarter of an hour, and he was too lazy to talk to them anymore. .

After taking the carriage and horse, he left the gate of Gongyuan without paying any attention to the mother and son.

Mrs. Wei looked unhappy and whispered to her son Shang Qilang.

Let's go to Prince Fu's Mansion and tell your eldest sister about this matter. See if there is any way to find someone to ask why this happened?

Hearing this, Shang Qilang was also a little moved, then nodded, and followed his mother in another carriage and drove straight to Prince Fu's Mansion.

They were still thinking hard about why such a situation happened. On the other side, Shang Ji, Mrs. Gu and Du Jingyi were already standing at the gate of the Queen's Changchun Palace.

Looking at the familiar palace walls, Mrs. Gu returned to many years ago in a trance.

The Empress has summoned her many times since she entered the palace, and she has been happy to attend every appointment.

Although the two are not so destined to be mother-in-law and daughter-in-law, they are still close to each other. Since they are their goddaughters, they naturally belong to the same family.

Waiting at the door was Eunuch Hu who was beside the Queen. Du Jingyi had met her before. He was as enthusiastic about Mrs. Gu as he was about the Guo family, and he said with a smile.

The old lady is finally here. Your Majesty has been waiting for you for a long time.

After hearing this, Mrs. Gu also said with a happy face.

I have forgotten it, Eunuch Hu, please lead the way.

Yes, madam.

Walking all the way to the main hall, Du Jingyi saw that the furnishings in the palace were no different from those he had seen before. However, it was cold at that time, so there were few flowers and plants. Now, all the famous products are planted up and down, which makes people happy.

After entering the main hall, the Queen got up from the phoenix chair and walked over, with tears in her eyes. The moment she saw Mrs. Gu, she couldn't help it.

I (the minister's wife) have seen the Queen and asked her to be safe.

Shang Ji and Du Jingyi both saluted, and Mrs. Gu did the same. She was fine at first, but her nose suddenly became sore.

But the rules cannot be broken. I hurriedly knelt down to salute, but the Queen held me back and said in a distressed tone.

My godmother, you really want to be separated from me. Ever since the incident happened in the Gu family, you have refused to enter the palace no matter how many times I summoned you. Could it be that you blame me?

Hearing this, Du Jingyi nodded slightly, but his heart skipped a beat.

Why haven't I heard of this before? What happened to the Gu family was for the sake of rejuvenating the dynasty. What does it have to do with the Queen?

Mrs. Gu shook her head gently and said to the Queen.
