Chapter 127 Warmth at Home

The carriage moved forward slowly, with a couple sitting inside.

"The Queen gave you this jade ruyi?"

"Well, it's a gift."

"You are lucky. This jade ruyi was given to you by the Queen Mother the year she was canonized. It has a very good meaning."

After hearing this, Du Jingyi exclaimed "Ah" in surprise.

"So, is this in accordance with the rules?"

"Don't worry, since the Queen can give it to you, it is naturally what you can get. Just go back and show respect to it."

Du Jingyi nodded. Even if Shang Ji didn't say it, she would place this item high on the rosewood table in the main room to show God's grace.

"By the way, Her Majesty also said that the imperial edict to confer the title of Madam of Imperial Concubine status on me will be delivered before the New Year. General, is this a bit excessive?"

After hearing this, Shang Ji was a little surprised, then he smiled faintly and said.

"I had originally planned to wait for my grandmother to come to the palace to meet me, and then have her ask the Empress for an annual reward for you. I didn't expect the Empress to give it to you in advance. This is good, so that Madam Wei won't be able to exclude you every day by talking about your status."

"She is a concubine who was promoted to the wife. How can she be compared with you?"

Then he spoke to Du Jingyi in a very serious tone.

"If I had known I would meet you earlier, I would not have allowed them to ruin my reputation in the past few years, and would not have married so many tablets to occupy the status of my original wife. But in my heart, you are the original wife, do you understand?"

Du Jingyi really didn't expect that something she didn't care about very much would be so important in the eyes of everyone.

Therefore, I had to be very alert and replied.

"I understand the general's intentions. The queen also has this idea, which is why she is so kind to me. But don't worry, I am not so jealous that I would go against those people before. And if the general had not been known for being unlucky in marriage, I would not have been able to marry into the Duke's Mansion with my family background."

That's true.

So sometimes, God really does have his own plans.

Shang Ji looked at Du Jingyi for a while, and knew that she really didn't care, so he spoke with relief.

"As long as I am here, I will never let you suffer any injustice."

"Um."

The couple talked along the way, and the time passed quickly.

After a while, the carriage stopped at the door of the Du family.

Du Jingyi was not aware of this and thought that they were going back to the Duke's Mansion first and would go to the Du family after having lunch.

I didn't expect that he would come so directly, so I was surprised and happy.

"The food at my father-in-law's house is really delicious, so I sent someone to deliver a message in advance, saying that we will come to his house for dinner. But don't worry, I specifically told the messenger to tell your sister to fill her stomach first. She is now with two people and can't go hungry."

Du Jingyi was touched by his attentiveness and thoughtfulness, and then he said with a mischievous smile.

"General, do you believe it? My father, mother and elder sister must be waiting well. But my brother-in-law may be a little anxious. He must have found a lot of food for elder sister and is trying to persuade her to eat."

Shang Ji looked at his wife's smiling face and did not doubt what she said at all.

"Let's go, let's not delay any longer."

"good."

After saying this, the couple walked into the Du family hand in hand.

Sure enough, Du Jingyi guessed correctly.

In Mingse Courtyard, everyone was looking forward to it. However, brother-in-law He Shilin was holding pastries in his hands and was anxiously persuading Du Jingxiang to eat more.

"Here it comes, it's finally here."

As soon as Mr. Du saw his daughter and son-in-law coming back, the smile on his face never faded, and he hurried to greet them.

Du Jingyi's steps were also much more relaxed than usual. It was obvious that she was genuinely happy every time she went home.

This reminded Shang Ji of the happy days he spent at his grandfather's house, and he became absent-minded for a moment.

"My daughter is back late. Daddy, are you hungry?"

"No, we have just started. We know you are coming back for dinner, so how can we eat first, right, son-in-law?"

Mr. Du's words interrupted Shang Ji's thoughts.

Shang Ji came back to his senses and replied with a faint smile.

"The Queen and the Madam hit it off right away, so they stayed a little longer, keeping my father-in-law and mother-in-law waiting for a long time."

Hearing this, the Du couple both looked a little surprised. They thought their daughter and husband came from the Duke's Mansion.

I didn't expect that he actually came out of the palace, so I walked up to him worriedly, looked at Du Jingyi, and asked in a low voice.

There is no mistake in the poem, post, content, and read the book on 6, 9, and bar!

"The Queen didn't make things difficult for you, did she?"

"Don't worry, mother. My aunt was also here. She just asked me a few simple questions and didn't say anything else."

The matter of granting a royal decree to a lady is of great importance.

Du Jingyi would not speak casually until the day he actually received the imperial edict.

Mrs. Du looked at her deeply and felt relieved when she realized that she was not lying.

But on second thought, his status as a son-in-law was there, and he would probably have many opportunities to enter the palace like this in the future.

If they were worried every day, they would not be able to sleep well.

Thinking of this, I felt a lot more relaxed.

"That's good, that's good. However, the Queen is also well-known among the people. I don't think she will make things difficult for you. I am just worrying too much."

When Shang Ji heard this, he also explained a few words.

"When my mother was still alive, she and the empress were old acquaintances, so today I summoned you to ask about some family matters only. Mother-in-law, there is no need to worry."

"Okay, okay, don't worry, don't worry."

Du Jingxiang hadn't seen his sister for a long time, so he naturally went up to her and took her arm. The relationship between the two was still as close as before, and even her husband He Shilin couldn't get in the way.

"Let's go and try the sausages my mother-in-law just sent from Pingzhou. I miss the taste of it, but there aren't many, so you can't take them back. When the two elders come to Sui'an City in a few days, I'll ask her to make more, and then you can give them to your family to taste."

"Sis, when did you start liking sausages? Aren't you afraid of the smell of smoke?"

"I don't know either. Maybe it's because the baby in my belly loves to eat. Since I got pregnant, I've eaten a lot of things that I've never eaten before."

Hearing this, Du Jingyi couldn't help but smile and touched his sister's belly, saying jokingly.

"It seems that this child is not picky and is easier to raise than my sister!"

"Tangtang~"

Du Jingxiang was originally a cute girl like a rabbit. She started to act coquettishly towards Du Jingyi, as if she was the younger sister and Du Jingyi was the steady older sister.

However, Du Jingyi also liked her behavior, his eyes were full of pampering, and when he looked at the bulging belly, there was also a flash of envy in his eyes.

Although she did not take the pregnancy-preserving medicine mentioned by Aunt Dou, she had never deliberately used contraception.
