"Don't be nervous, sister-in-law. Just think of it as an ordinary family dinner. The most important thing is to take a good look at the daughter of the Li family. If she is really good, then Ping'er's marriage should be decided early."

Her words instantly relieved Liu's nervousness. She had not met many nobles. After marrying into the Duke's Mansion for so many years, she had only entered the palace once with her mother-in-law, Gu, after getting married, and then once with her aunt, Madam Xing. All in all, this was only the third time, so she did not ask for any merit, but only for no mistakes.

Therefore, sister-in-law Liu also pulled Du Jingyi's hand and said with a smile.

"I am older than you, so I will let you comfort me. Don't worry, I will not bring shame to the General's Mansion and the Duke's Mansion, especially in front of the Li family."

"It's not a matter of shame or not, but if you relax a little, Ping'er will be able to sense it. He is only eighteen now, which is the right age to show his face in front of the nobles. If he can gain their appreciation, it will be beneficial to Ping'er's future."

When Du Jingyi persuades people, he will find the key points. After all, in the situation of the eldest sister-in-law, the one she cares about most is of course Ping'er, so as long as it is good for Ping'er, the eldest sister-in-law Liu will do anything.

Sure enough, after hearing this, sister-in-law Liu also silently recited the rules she had learned before, and after a while she had no time to be nervous.

Ping'er and Gu Shaoyu were riding horses outside and leading the charge.

The uncle and nephew, one is older and steady, the other is younger and energetic, and they look somewhat similar, so they seem very harmonious.

"After entering the palace, the rules are the most important. Don't forget to meet the people you should meet and perform the necessary etiquette. But don't be too nervous. For example, you know a lot of people in the East Palace and the Guo family, so just be yourself. The only thing is that you must not act rashly in front of the Queen. Do you understand?"

"I understand. I will follow Uncle Six closely and not cause any trouble."

"Um."

Ping'er is not Xing Zhao after all. He has seen all kinds of situations since he was a child. It is already very good for him to have achieved what he has today, but compared with other young masters from aristocratic families, he is less at ease.

But this can't be rushed, it can only be done slowly.

After seeing more scenes like this, you will naturally be able to relax.

When the Gu family entered the imperial city, they happened to meet people from the Guo family. Prime Minister Guo, Old Madam Guo, the eldest master and his wife, the third master and his wife, Guo Silang and Xue Niang were all among them. There were also a few others, who were other children and grandchildren of the Guo family.

"Shao Yu greets Grandfather Guo, Grandmother Guo, and all the uncles and aunts."

"Get up, get up. Why are we so formal as a family? We are all here to eat at the Queen's table. You and I are both guests."

Guo Xiang would say that, but Gu Shaoyu didn't dare to really think so.

So there were a lot of necessary etiquettes to be performed, and the people from the Gu family who followed him also behaved very well.

The reason for today's banquet was Du Jingyi and the children, so naturally Prime Minister Guo and Old Madam Guo put their thoughts on them.

Especially Mrs. Guo, who obviously has a lot of children and grandchildren, but when she sees Tai Ge'er, she feels a special sense of intimacy. Now Tai Ge'er has become a big brother, with three little brothers following him. Mrs. Guo is smiling from ear to ear as if she has seen nectar.

"My goodness, who can be as lucky as you? Look at these four boys, they are only two or three years old and have such temperament. When they grow up, they will surely charm all the young ladies in Sui'an City!"

As soon as she said this, everyone started laughing, and the tension that lingered in everyone's hearts was eased a lot.

Tai Ge'er is a little smart guy. Although he doesn't have a deep impression of Madam Guo, he still said with a smile.

"Brother Tai has met great-grandfather Guo and great-grandmother Guo."

Her voice was childish, but her manners were very proper, which made Mrs. Guo unable to help but half-bend over and speak.

"Brother Tai, do you still remember me?"

"Hehe, remember."

"Good boy, you are such a smart and well-behaved child. It's no wonder that Great-grandmother Guo loves you so much. I will bring gifts to your house when I go back later. Great-grandmother will remember them and fill your little private treasury to the brim."

Hearing this, Du Jingyi took a step forward and said helplessly.

"Grandma Guo, please stop pampering him. He is so young but he is almost richer than the general."

"What are you afraid of? If Shao Yu really has no money, doesn't he still have a wife like you who can make money? But our brother Tai only has the love of his great-grandmothers, so we must give him more to support himself!"

When Madam Guo said this, probably only Madam Guo and Brother Tai believed it. The others were just trying to hold back their laughter and watch the fun. Finally, Guo Silang interrupted.

"Grandma is really good at planning. I think you are interested in Brother Tai and want him to be our great-grandson's son-in-law."

In response to his joke, Mrs. Guo made a comment.

"You are just a monkey!"

Although the words were not absolute, the meaning was self-evident. When Mrs. Guo looked at Du Jingyi, there were indeed some thoughts in her eyes, which made Du Jingyi stunned.

My son is only three years old. Do I have to think so much now?

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

Seeing that Du Jingyi and his wife did not answer, Mrs. Guo changed the subject and talked about other things.

"Let's go. If you don't go now, the queen's feast will be cold."

"yes."

Prime Minister Guo and Old Madam Guo were the most respected among the crowd. A procession of six or seven carriages and horses entered the imperial city, and only got off in front of the gate of the inner palace did they change into the palace's sedan chair.

After struggling for about half an hour, everyone arrived at Changchun Palace.

There is not much difference from when Du Jingyi came back last time, at most the branches have become more luxuriant.

The last time they came to say goodbye was in winter, and now it is spring three years later when they return to the palace. The time really flies.

When he entered the main hall, he saw people from the Eastern Palace, as well as the Crown Princess's maiden family, the Earl of Weiyuan Mansion, and all the invited members of the Li family.

All of a sudden, the hall, which had been somewhat empty, became bustling.

"Your Majesty, I and my family are here to see Her Majesty the Queen."

They knelt in a large group, and the children, led by their wet nurses, knelt at the end and saluted respectfully.

"Father and mother, there is no need to be so polite. Everyone else, please stand up as well."

"Thank you, Madam."

It was not difficult for the Guo family to meet the Queen, so it was only a month since their last meeting. However, the Gu family had to be more polite when meeting the Queen.

"Shao Yu, bring your wife and children to me for a closer look. It's been several years since we last met, and I don't know how they are doing."

The Queen spoke, and Gu Shaoyu dared not disobey.
