My Stepmother is Soft and Charming

As for the others, they were either meekly lowering their heads, or their identities were not high enough to be on the stage, so Du Jingyi didn't pay much attention to it. Just when she was still thinking about the situation in her mind, she saw someone coming from outside. .

Eunuch Liu walked in with the imperial edict in his hand and a festive look on his face.

When the nobles saw the imperial decree, their eyes lit up, and Du Jingyi immediately understood that it must be the imperial decree for canonization.

Speaking of which, she was lucky to be able to witness this moment, so she stood up with everyone and looked at Eunuch Liu.

Why are Eunuch Liu here? But His Majesty has an order?

I would like to send my regards to the Queen, to all of you noble lords, and to all of your ladies. The canonization decree has come down, and I am here to read it out.

Okay, on such a happy day as today, the sisters in the harem can also follow you.

After saying that, she got off the queen's throne first, walked to Eunuch Liu and knelt down to listen to the order. Naturally, everyone else followed.

By God's blessing, the Emperor Zhao said, the appointment and the division are determined, which is the peace of the harem. Now there is a daughter of the Xing family, who has a peaceful nature, a kind and upright attitude, which comforts my heart. She is appointed as a noble concubine and is given to live in Qingxiang. In the palace, the side concubine Wang, who raised many children, was filial and virtuous, was named Concubine Hui, and was granted residence in Haining Palace. The side concubine, Lin, was refined in jade, soft, bright, and quiet, so she was designated Concubine Zhen and given residence in Hehe. In the Qing Palace, the side concubine Li, who was adept at etiquette and gentle in nature, was named Concubine Xian and was given a residence in Xian'an Palace. The Liangdi Zong family was named Concubine Yue and was given a residence in Yingyue Palace. The rest of the nobles also had I appreciate this as a reward.

I, my concubine, will thank you for your kindness.

Lowering his head and leaning down, this position was also determined.

Du Jingyi was not surprised at the positions of the other concubines. After all, they were all like Concubine Hui, and it was natural for the old man of the East Palace to hold a high position. Zong Liangdi had been favored for many years, and with the prince beside him, it was not surprising that he was granted the title of concubine.

However, this Xing You came up as a concubine. Not only was she the youngest, but she was also the one who had been in the East Palace for the shortest time. She had to be removed from the highest position of empress all of a sudden. Du Jingyi couldn't help but look at her belly.

Du Jingyi has never heard of Xing You's abilities.

If it's not Ping's family background, it's Ping's belly.

Sure enough, although Xing You's waist did not show whether she was pregnant or not, there was still something fishy about the way she was bending over.

It's almost like she's pregnant.

Therefore, if this child can be born smoothly, he will be the extremely noble seventh prince, the first son of the Hong Yuan Dynasty, and he will be competitive no matter what.

Suddenly, Du Jingyi felt a chill on his back.

A few days ago, she accepted the gift from Concubine Xing, so did she start to set a trap for the couple from then on?

Thinking of this, she wished she could leave the palace immediately and tell her general about this speculation. They would be innocent if the disputes and wars in the harem were burned on their heads as soon as they came to power.

The decree to be concubine has been made, so naturally some people are happy, some are sad, and some are calm as if the matter has nothing to do with her.

Du Jingyi took a breath and kept everyone's performance in mind. When he went back, he had to think of some countermeasures quickly.

Now, they are related by marriage to the Yan family and the Xing family. If one thing is not handled well, both parties may be offended.

Naturally, no one says anything when the flowers are blooming, but if there is a bad time, the thunder will not strike, so be cautious and you will not make mistakes.

When Concubine Zhen stood up, she glanced at Concubine Xing, saying she was jealous. However, compared to her superior position, it seemed that Concubine Yue's superior position next to her made her more unhappy, so the contempt in her eyes was not restrained at all. .

Concubine Yue is also a flamboyant person, and the conflict between her and Concubine Zhen didn’t just start today, so who wouldn’t roll their eyes? He also gave an unceremonious chill to Concubine Zhen.

Du Jingyi watched with cold eyes, the superior Queen Yan didn't seem to care about this, so of course they ladies would not rush to stir up trouble.

After sitting for a while, all the etiquette was finally completed.

When Du Jingyi followed Mrs. Guo out of the palace, the sky was already glowing. The whole day passed like this. She was tired and hungry. The most important thing was that her heart was tense all the time and she felt very uncomfortable.

Mrs. Guo noticed her discomfort, then patted her hand and said comfortingly.

The days are still long in the future. I think back then our old man became a minister in his thirties. My life in the back house was not easy. I was worried about this and guarded against that. I always felt that someone was going to do something behind my back. The knife, but as time passed and the enemy was not found, I was exhausted first. After that, I relaxed my mind. Soldiers will stop me, and water will cover me. There will always be a solution to everything. Too much It’s not a good thing to worry about worries that haven’t yet materialized.”

Mrs. Guo's words were like a basin of cold water pouring on Du Jingyi.

Maybe she also felt in her heart that she was a bit unworthy of being in such a high position, so she was always worried about this and that, but thinking about it from another angle, she actually had to relax herself a little.

Therefore, she thanked Mrs. Guo with great gratitude.

Thank you, Grandma Guo, for the tip. I was mistaken.

Young people have little experience, so everything they see seems to be full of difficulties. When you get to my age, you will know. Just be more open-minded.

Mrs. Guo's comfort made Du Jingyi feel more relaxed.

After returning to the General's Mansion, they plunged into the yard where the children were. The Dus were playing with their brothers. When they saw Du Jingyi coming back, they said with a smile.

It'll be good when you come back. I assume you and your wife will come back together.

General, I'm afraid it will be late. My daughter is going to wash up and change clothes first. We will celebrate Brother Tai's birthday together later.

Okay, go ahead. I'll get some food to feed the children until they're half full. Then we won't be afraid of eating later.

Mom makes the decision.

After kissing the children's foreheads one by one, Du Jingyi returned to Xitang Courtyard exhausted.

Shuxiu had prepared the hot water early. After Du Jingyi returned, he immediately entered the ear room and put himself comfortably into the tub. After taking a few deep breaths, he felt that the worries of the day were gone. some.

Probably because I got up early, I felt a little drowsy by this time.

With Shuxiu and Yingying beside her, she closed her eyes and rested, keeping her mind as empty as possible and focusing only on the present.

As night fell, Gu Shaoyu came back from the imperial city in official uniform. As soon as he entered the main room, he saw Du Jingyi who had just washed up. He was slender, fragrant and white, and he was really good-looking.
