280. Chapter 280 Listen to Your Instructions



There were complaints from time to time in the court, but they had little impact. Just as everyone in the general's mansion was planning for Tai Ge'er's full moon celebration, Shang Ji was suddenly summoned into the palace by His Majesty.

The visitor was not the eunuchs Liu and Hu, but looked unfamiliar, so they could not get any further information from him.

Shang Ji glanced at Du Jingyi and said to calm her down.

"It's okay, I'll be back soon."

Du Jingyi's face was relatively calm. After thinking about it, he realized that it was probably because the Queen had promised to finalize the change of the child's surname before the baby's full month, so she had already reported the matter to His Majesty.

So I also said this to Shang Ji.

"I understand. I will definitely take good care of the family."

Only after his leaving figure completely disappeared did Du Jingyi have someone deliver the message to Old Madam Gu. Not long after, Old Madam Gu came hurriedly.

She knew more inside information than anyone present, and naturally knew what the Queen had done in this matter. Now that Shang Ji had been brought into the palace, she was much more worried than anyone else.

Du Jingyi saw that she was worried, so he spoke to comfort her.

"Don't worry, Grandmother. The general is probably going there to change his surname. Since the Queen has promised it, I don't think there will be any big problems."

Madam Gu didn't want others to notice any flaws, so she could only endure it.

He nodded and said no more. He just looked at his beloved great-grandson and silently prayed for Shang Ji and Queen Guo in his heart.

Mrs. Du next to her had only heard about this in the past two days. She had long since accepted it from her initial shock, so when she heard the news, she didn't find it so scary.

However, her identity did not allow her to participate in this topic, so she did not say much nonsense and just focused on coaxing her grandson.

Shang Ji's leg injury prevented him from riding a horse, so he went there in a sedan chair. As soon as he entered the palace, he was taken away by a sedan chair. The eunuchs did not let him down until they arrived at the door of the imperial study.

And coming with him was his father Shang Yukuan.

The father and son had not seen each other since they last met in the study of the Duke's Mansion. Now that they met, even though they were blood relatives, they still didn't say a word.

Shang Yukuan, although he was angry, he also felt a little guilty.

When he saw Shang Ji limping, he showed surprise and distress, and then asked.

"Liu Lang, how did you hurt your leg?"

Shang Ji didn't say much, just walked forward silently.

Fortunately, the distance from the door to the study was not far, so it only took a short while for the father and son to enter the imperial study.

The imperial study was still furnished as before, but as soon as Shang Ji entered the room, he saw the emperor, who had not been seen for a long time.

He should have looked majestic in his bright yellow dragon robe, but he looked decadent and weak.

He is about fifty years old, but now he looks like he doesn't have the spirit he had before Marshal Gu passed away.

Sitting next to him was Queen Guo, who looked like the mother of the country, and her dazzling brilliance made people feel as if they were seeing a pearl descending into the world.

Comparing the two, an ominous thought arose in Shang Ji's heart. The Emperor of the Daxing Dynasty might not live long.

So he and his father Shang Yukuan knelt down before the emperor and greeted him loudly.

"I have seen your majesty. Long live your majesty."

"Stand up."

"Thank you, Your Majesty."

Upon hearing this, Shang Ji stood up. Seeing that he had difficulty walking, the emperor specially asked Eunuch Liu to give him a round stool to sit on. However, Shang Yukuan had no special situation and could only answer while standing.

"Liu Lang, is your leg feeling better?"

"Thank you for your concern, Your Majesty. It's just a minor injury. I just need to rest for two days."

"That's good. I'm still waiting to see you train the three armies. You must recover from your injuries quickly!"

"Yes, Your Majesty!"

The emperor still relied on Shang Ji to some extent. After all, it was he who stabilized the crisis in Cezhou, which allowed the Daxing Dynasty to have peace again, so it was normal for him to care more about him.

Duke Shang did not know why he came today, so he did not dare to speak casually. At this moment, there was no one else in the imperial study except Eunuch Liu who served the emperor personally.

He couldn't help swallowing his saliva, and then he heard the emperor speak.

"I heard that the General's Mansion has had many happy events recently. First, my eighth sister got engaged to the fourth son of the Guo family, and then the sixth son had a son. So I am also very happy in my heart. That's why I summoned Shang Aiqing and the sixth son to the palace to chat about family matters."

After hearing this, Shang Ji had an idea in his mind.

As he guessed, he came here today to change his surname, so he naturally would not show too much excitement.

But Shang Yukuan next to him didn't understand. He thought that the emperor's concern was a great thing, so he shouted loudly.

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

"Your Majesty's grace is immense. I thank Your Majesty on behalf of my daughter and grandson."

He is good at flattering himself. The emperor even said that there were many happy events in the general's mansion, but he took over the conversation. It really makes people look down on him.

However, Shang Ji didn't care about this trivial matter and just replied respectfully.

"Thank you, Your Majesty."

It was just a few words, but the emperor seemed very satisfied, so he continued.

"The marriage between the Guo family and the General's Mansion is a great thing. When the two of them are going to get married in the future, I will have my own reward."

"Your Majesty, I thank you on behalf of my sister."

"Get up, get up, and talk if you want. There's no need to kneel down all the time. You need to pay more attention to your injured leg..."

His Majesty the Emperor's concern seems genuine at this moment.

However, Shang Yukuan who was standing aside did not understand. The emperor's words about the marriage between the Guo family and the general's mansion had already excluded his Duke's mansion, and he was still happy about it without realizing it.

Seeing this, Queen Guo interrupted and asked a question.

"How is the child?"

"My lady, everything is fine."

"Have you chosen a name yet?"

"My grandmother gave me a nickname, Tai Ge'er, which means that if there is a good end, there will be a good end, and if there is a dark end, there will be a bright morning."

Hearing this, Queen Guo laughed and then said to the emperor.

"Old Madam Gu is still so knowledgeable. This nickname is really good. Your Majesty, why don't you give this child a big name? In this way, wouldn't it also be a great favor to the General's Mansion?"

Give a name?

Upon hearing this, Shang Yukuan was extremely excited. He already had two legitimate grandsons, but the third one could actually be given a title by His Majesty. Just thinking about it made him feel honored for his family.

In the future, when this child grows up, he will definitely make the Duke's Mansion more glorious! (End of this chapter)
