Hearing her daughter's words, Mrs. Du also laughed. It is true that all parents in this world care about their children.

After everyone sat down, Mrs. Du said.

"You two have both lost weight. Just take good care of yourself in the next few days. You can't do much during the mourning period. It would be great if our family could get together more often."

"What my mother-in-law said is true. I didn't have much time to accompany them before. Now that I'm at home, I naturally have to take on responsibilities. You've been tired and worked hard these days. Starting tomorrow, you should rest more and our family can live a quiet life."

"Okay, uncle has the final say."

The family sat together in a warm and affectionate manner, and even if they didn't talk, it was a very comfortable state.

The sky outside was as dark as ink, but it was warm inside.

The next day, at the Prime Minister’s Mansion.

All the members of the Guo family gathered together to hold a full-month banquet for Xuenniang and Guo Silang's child. They didn't invite anyone, but just invited a few people from the General's Mansion and the Duke's Mansion, and then everyone was there.

The banquet was personally commissioned by the Empress Dowager, so it was not considered as breaking the rules.

When Gu Shaoyu and Du Jingyi returned to the general's mansion, they couldn't even see the children in the next yard, let alone Xue Niang who was in confinement after giving birth. Therefore, although the couple knew about the situation of the mother and child, it was the first time they saw them.

Therefore, the eldest sister-in-law Liu and Du Jingyi went to the backyard together to see Xueniang and the child. As for Gu Shaoyu and Ping'er, they were talking with the people from the Guo family in the front hall.

With a maid leading the way, they went quite quickly.

Sister-in-law Liu's pace was even more hurried, and Xuenniang was also waiting in the corridor early, looking forward to their arrival.

As soon as she saw the person, sister-in-law Liu couldn't stop crying. After pulling Xue Niang to look around carefully, she said.

"I was so scared. I was terrified when I heard that you had a difficult birth. Fortunately, Doctor Xia was here. Otherwise...how would I explain this to my father-in-law, mother-in-law, and your eldest brother?"

Xue Niang explained while comforting her sister-in-law.

"It's okay, it's okay. I'm fine, aren't I? Don't blame yourself, sister-in-law. This matter has nothing to do with you. I was too careless. I thought it was nothing, but who knew that I almost hurt myself and Brother Yin."

Both of them said they wanted to take the responsibility on themselves, but Du Jingyi on the side said something to ease the atmosphere.

"After the rain comes the sun, and after the hardship comes happiness. Sister-in-law and Eighth Sister, please stop talking about this. We are here today to see the child, right? I have prepared a lot of gifts, waiting to be given to him."

After she finished speaking, the eldest sister-in-law and Xue Niang also reacted. They took a deep breath and went into the house.

"How's the baby?"

"He's fine. He can eat and sleep. It's probably because of Dr. Xia's treatment that he looks bigger than an ordinary child."

Du Jingyi originally thought that Mrs. Guo San said this because she loved her grandson so much, but she didn't expect that after seeing the child, she couldn't help but say it.

"He's really a big boy. He looks even bigger than Tai Ge'er when he was one month old."

"Who says it's not? It was so small when it was born, but now it's more than twice as heavy. My hands get sore after holding it for a while."

The eldest sister-in-law Liu loved the child very much. Although he was only her nephew, she felt that he was just like Ping'er's child. He was good in every way!

"It's better for the child to be strong. This way, he won't get sick easily. If he can eat and sleep well, it means he has good habits. He will definitely be a filial and well-behaved child in the future."

As the eldest sister-in-law spoke, she picked up the child and loved him as dearly as she loved Tai'er and his brothers.

Xue Niang was also teasing him on the side. The child was not shy at all. When he saw his sister-in-law holding him, he grinned, which was very cute.

Du Jingyi said with a smile after presenting the gift.

"This child is so blessed. When Xueniang holds him, he looks like Xueniang. When Silang holds him, he looks like Silang. It's absolutely amazing."

"Sixth sister-in-law is right. Sometimes when I look at him, I feel that he looks like me one moment and like his father the next. We are truly blood relatives. It's magical."

When the eldest sister-in-law Liu heard her words, she also said "Amitabha".

"Fortunately, both you and your child are healthy."

"Yes, it's all thanks to Doctor Xia. Her skills are really extraordinary and the methods she used are unheard of. If she and Sixth Sister-in-law hadn't repeatedly told me not to spread those things, I really wanted to tell my husband about the magic."

Seeing this, Du Jingyi reiterated it again.

"Treasures attract greed. Since Doctor Xia saved our lives, we must obey her request. After all, this is the emperor's territory. If others knew her abilities, we would never have peace. Isn't there going to be another wedding in the palace?"

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

The "Tianxi" she mentioned refers to the fact that Imperial Concubine Xing is pregnant. Now it is six or seven months pregnant and it is time for her to show signs of pregnancy. If she knew that there is a miracle doctor like Xia Meng, it would be strange if she was not summoned to the palace!

Therefore, Xue Niang also knew the seriousness of it, so she nodded and spoke solemnly.

"Don't worry, Sixth Sister-in-law. Even if the king of heaven comes, I won't say anything nonsense. I still have some sense of propriety."

"Um."

"However, speaking of this matter concerning Imperial Concubine Xing, you probably don't know yet, but there are some disturbances in the palace again."

"What?"

"When Concubine Zhen was still in the Eastern Palace, she gave birth to the fifth prince, but unfortunately he died young. Now I heard that she is pregnant again. As soon as she got the throne, she hurriedly spread the news. I guess she wants to compete with Concubine Gui for favor."

Xueniang is the daughter-in-law of the Guo family, and the Guo family is the empress dowager's family, so naturally they are more informed than the outside world. So when she said this, Du Jingyi believed it very much.

"I heard that the fifth prince has been gone for three or four years, and there has been no news for such a long time. How come she suddenly got pregnant again when she returned to the palace?"

Could it be that someone in her family was going to be promoted by the emperor? That was why she had such a favor, and she must have been looking forward to it for a long time.

"After all, it's the Sixth Sister-in-law. She's so smart and got to the point right away. Mother-in-law said that Zhen Fei's brother was promoted to the position of commander of the Jingji Division, and now he is my husband's immediate superior!"

In the past, the Gyeonggi-do Prefecture was firmly controlled by the Fourth Prince and his faction.

Therefore, this time's uprooting has vacated a lot of positions, so naturally it has become the focus of competition among various parties. After all, the Jingji Division holds real power, and any one of them will get a piece of fat meat. No one is stupid enough to give up such a good thing! (End of this chapter)
