Chapter 219: Your Grace



Anyone who met her would respectfully call her "Zong Liangdi", which would give her a lot of face.

Therefore, she is very popular in the East Palace these days.

The twenty-ninth day of the twelfth lunar month is the day of the Eastern Palace's annual banquet.

Du Jingyi and others followed Shang Ji to the banquet. As soon as they entered the flower hall, they saw Zong Liangdi standing next to the prince with a smile on her face.

She smiled generously and appropriately, and her speech was eloquent, which stole some of the limelight from the concubines beside her. So when they were in secret, the concubines were also very angry, but they could not show it because of the occasion.

When they arrived, they happened to see this scene.

Du Jingyi's eyes couldn't help but deepen. This man was inseparable from Wei Jialian before entering the East Palace, so it is better to pay more attention to him, so as to avoid causing trouble and adding an enemy to the General's Mansion, which would be a loss.

So, he smiled and spoke to the people on his left and right.

"Cousin Lang and Xue Niang, you must be extra careful today."

"Don't worry, Sister Six, I won't say a single word."

Xue Niang has learned a lot from following Old Madam Gu these days, so she naturally knows that the more you talk in such occasions, the more mistakes you will make, so it is best to keep silent.

Gu Xiaolang, who was standing on the other side, was dressed very cutely today, so her appearance attracted a lot of attention.

"Don't worry, cousin, Xiaolang understands."

Gu Xiaolang envied Du Jingyi from the bottom of her heart for being loved by her cousin Shao Yu, and she naturally wanted to have such a perfect husband.

These days, whether at home or at banquets, she has been facing the couple every day. If she still doesn't understand that she has no place in their relationship, then she is blind.

That's why she asked her mother and fourth aunt to dress her up today. After all, she understood the significance of the East Palace Annual Banquet.

Du Jingyi glanced at Gu Xiaolang and felt that some words were not good to say out of his mouth, so he didn't say any more nonsense.

After saying "hmm", he led the two of them into the flower hall and exchanged polite greetings with people he knew.

In the Eastern Palace, the person Du Jingyi knew best was the Crown Princess.

Today is the East Palace's annual banquet, so the Crown Princess naturally has to go around everywhere.

However, when the three of them appeared, the Crown Princess saw them, so she gave a few instructions to the nanny beside her, and then saw the nanny hurried over and said.

"Young Madam, Miss Gu, Eighth Miss, the Crown Princess invites you."

This action made others realize how much the Crown Princess valued these people, or rather, how much the Eastern Palace valued the General's Mansion. Du Jingyi nodded and smiled, then said something.

"Thank you, Ma'am."

Several people were led by the nanny to the Crown Princess, and there were some ladies standing beside her at the moment. Du Jingyi was only an acquaintance with the others, but she knew Madam Guo better.

Next to Mrs. Guo was Lin, the mother of Guo Silang, who was also looking at the three people with a smile.

"I greet the Crown Princess and all the ladies."

"This humble servant greets the Crown Princess and all the ladies."

They actually didn't arrive late, but everyone was always more active at the East Palace Annual Banquet, so they arrived earlier than them.

"Six-lang's wife, please get up quickly. You are pregnant. Don't be so polite."

The Crown Princess was polite, with a smile on her face, and she didn't look sad at all.

This is indeed the grace of being the principal wife or the Crown Princess. She can personally place a concubine next to her husband and face him with a smile without changing her expression.

Du Jingyi asked himself if he could do this.

"Thank you for your concern, Princess."

"Where's your grandmother? Why don't you see her coming?"

Mrs. Guo was most concerned about her elder sister, so she would naturally ask if she didn't see her.

Seeing this, Du Jingyi responded honestly.

"Grandmother has been a little tired these past two days, so she is resting in the mansion today. Before coming here, she specifically told me to apologize to the Crown Prince and the Crown Princess."

"Oh, can we ask the imperial physician to come over and take a look?"

"Replying to the Crown Princess, I have asked Doctor Wang to come over and take a look. He said it's nothing serious and he just needs to rest for two days."

Seeing this, the Crown Princess felt relieved.

Du Jingyi's clothes were not as thick as they were a few days ago, so the bulge of her belly was already visible. Seeing her like this, Mrs. Guo was also filled with emotion.

"You should take good care of yourself, the next few months will be very tiring."

Mrs. Guo gave birth to four children, three sons and one daughter, so she knows very well what it feels like to be pregnant, which is why she said that.

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

"Thank you for your concern, Madam Guo. I know."

"Yeah, good boy."

After saying this, Mrs. Guo turned her gaze to Gu Xiaolang and Shang Xuenniang beside her, with a smile on her face.

Gu Xiaolang has always been outstanding in her eyes, but it is Xue Niang next to her who catches people's eyes.

Compared to the Lantern Festival, there has been a big change. There may not be much improvement in talent or not, but people seem to be more relaxed than before.

Standing next to Du Jingyi and Gu Xiaolang, although not as outstanding as them, she exudes the cleverness and quietness of a girl.

Seeing this scene, Mrs. Lin, the third wife of Guo, couldn't help but show a bit of satisfaction in her eyes.

The Guo family is large and has six grandchildren. Guo Silang is one of them and also her youngest son.

The older daughters-in-law in the family were all carefully selected and intelligent people, so she really didn't have many requirements for the younger daughter-in-law.

It's just to be able to live a good life with my own son.

At the beginning, her parents-in-law told her that they wanted to get engaged to the Gu family, but she was not very happy about it.

Because all the members of the Gu family had died for their country, and given the relationship between her parents-in-law and the Gu family, if she married this daughter-in-law, she, as the mother-in-law, would probably be the one who would be wronged.

But due to the rules of the family, she couldn't refute it.

Who would have thought that after a Lantern Festival tour of the canal a few days ago, she was told that the eighth daughter of this merchant might be interested in marrying her son. She was rather flattered by this.

Therefore, I feel more satisfied with him than others in my heart, and now it seems that he is a well-behaved and sensible child.

Although she may not be particularly outstanding, such a personality means that she will not cause trouble in the backyard. Therefore, from this point alone, Mrs. Guo San is interested in Xue Niang.

So, he took a step forward and asked.

"This must be Miss Eight, she is rarely seen in the past."

Du Jingyi understood the importance of the Guo family's marriage to Xue Niang, and also knew that the Guo family would definitely be present at the East Palace's annual banquet today, so he put some effort into her dress today.

She has both the brightness of a young lady from an aristocratic family and the elegance of a normal girl.
