Chapter 290: Honor and Favor



Every time, my fourth aunt would say a few words, saying that the child was a martial arts genius.

This made Du Jingyi very confused, because he was clearly said to be a genius boy who could speak eloquently.

Sure enough, the words of praise from elders for the younger ones cannot be fully trusted, as they are mixed with too much doting, so people’s hearts are naturally biased.

All the women in the general's mansion doted on him, and Mrs. Du often came to praise him. Fortunately, Shang Ji and Du Jingyi were able to balance things out, so Tai Ge'er did not show any signs of being complacent.

On the contrary, it was his rare and stable good temper that made Du Jingyi admire him a little.

He was still smiling even when he wet his pants, he was still smiling even when he was given some sour fruits to eat, he was still smiling even when he accidentally knocked over the glass cup on the table, as if there was nothing in the world that worried him.

Once people see this, even the worst mood will be improved.

On this day, Mrs. Du and Mr. Du came to the house and sent people to bring many ingenious toys specially made for their grandson. They were all made of solid wood, polished to a smooth surface but not too hard to touch.

The color is not colorful, but instead has the gentleness of the original wood.

Brother Tai loved it the moment he got his hands on it, and he kept talking about it while holding it.

Mrs. Du, who was watching from the side, was also happy and then she spoke.

"The master asked the skilled craftsmen of your uncle Han's family to make this thing. I heard that the craftsmanship was imported. I originally thought that it was so simple that it would not attract the attention of children, but I never thought that Brother Tai would like it so much."

The eldest sister-in-law saw that Brother Tai was having fun, so she mentioned it casually.

"If we can make more styles, I'm afraid the women in Sui'an City will compete to buy them again."

After she said this, Du Jingyi thought of a business.

Yan Zhiqing has been "traveling outside" for many days, and it is almost time for him to return to Jinling City. If he brings some rare and valuable things from outside and wants to break into the market for children from wealthy families, there seems to be nothing wrong with it.

She smiled with great joy, and others thought she was happy because her son liked this thing. Only Mrs. Du understood that her daughter must have thought of some way to make money, which was why she looked so happy.

The mother and daughter smiled at each other, and everything needed to be polished more carefully.

The endless heat of summer came, and after entering August, there was some big and exciting news in Sui'an City.

The Seventh Prince married Miss Zhao as his principal wife. Although it was not as grand and luxurious as the Crown Prince's enthronement of the Crown Princess, it was also a rare occasion in Sui'an City.

It was also on this day that Du Jingyi finally met the legendary imperial concubine.

Early in the morning, the entrance to the Seventh Prince's mansion was crowded with people.

Most of them are children, because they know the custom of spreading joy, so everyone is waiting.

Sure enough, when the auspicious time came, the central gate of the prince's mansion was wide open.

All the servants inside had red silk wrapped around their waists and walked out with joyful looks on their faces, some celebrating and some setting off firecrackers.

The seventh prince, who was in the lead, was also dressed in red, riding a tall horse, and leading the carriage pulled by eight horses to the Zhao family.

Such a grand occasion was also specially "requested" by the Imperial Concubine for the Seventh Prince. Otherwise, given his status as a prince, he could only use four to six horses at most.

Therefore, although this carriage seemed to bring honor to the Zhao family and show respect, it actually expressed the imperial concubine's honor and favor, so that outsiders would not dare to underestimate it.

The wedding procession circled around Sui'an City for an hour or two before returning to the Prince's Palace. Everything in the palace was taken care of by the Fourth Prince and his wife.

His Majesty the Emperor and the Imperial Concubine would not appear at the door in their noble form to greet the guests, so naturally the eldest brother, the Fourth Prince, would preside over the ceremony, while the Fourth Prince's wife would also greet the guests who came to congratulate with a smile in the back house.

Today, everyone who came to the General's Mansion was quite present.

Except for the fourth aunt, all the women in the harem came, including the eldest sister-in-law Liu and the eighth sister Xue Niang.

Originally, the two of them didn't care whether to come or not, but the Guo family sent a message saying that everyone would come today, and they thought it would be just enough for them to sit together and talk and have a meal, so they came together.

Most of the people who came today were the families of the Fourth Prince and his followers, as well as some neutral families who did not want to offend either side.

Therefore, when figures like the Guo family and the Gu family appeared at the table, they would naturally attract everyone's attention.

At this point, the eldest sister-in-law Liu finally realized why the Guo family had to inform them in advance. For such occasions, they should either not come at all, or come with a large number of people so as not to be at a disadvantage.

Therefore, when the Crown Princess appeared, she walked towards the women of the Guo and Gu families with a smile on her face, without any sense of discomfort.

Gu Xiaolang had already returned to Jinling City, and the Crown Princess and the Earl's Mansion also understood what Old Madam Gu meant, so no matter how much they liked her, they couldn't force her, and slowly let go of the idea.

So when we met in such occasions, we just nodded without expressing any further opinions.

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

On the contrary, the Fourth Prince's wife was surrounded by powerful relatives, mainly Princess Yuehua, Princess Fu and Madam Wei, who unconsciously showed an attitude of power confrontation between the two sides.

She remembered everything that was called the Crown Princess and turned to say to Du Jingyi.

"I heard from Brother Tai that in two months you will follow Madam Gu back to Jinling City to worship your ancestors?"

"Yes, Princess."

"You're so tired from the journey, can Tai Ge handle it?"

"The child can eat and sleep well, and he doesn't seem to be a bad tempered person, so it should be fine."

"That's good. We should take better care of this child. Otherwise, it would be bad if someone takes advantage of the situation and causes trouble."

The Crown Princess hinted at something, and when the Fourth Prince's wife heard this, her eyes became sharp.

The troubles she was talking about were the unpleasant things that had been happening in the Fourth Prince's Mansion these days.

The Fourth Prince and his wife have been married for several years and have a son who is not in good health. He is now three or four years old, but his height is only as big as a two or three year old child.

Although he is mentally intelligent, his body is not strong enough.

So I have been taking care of him very carefully over the years, but who would have thought that he suddenly had a high fever a few days ago. I checked his eating habits carefully but didn't find anything wrong.

However, the Fourth Prince's Mansion was in turmoil for quite some time, and a thorough investigation was conducted from top to bottom.

Fortunately, the child was not seriously injured in the end, but after such an ordeal, he became much weaker, and the Fourth Prince's wife also had to spend a lot of time and effort taking care of him.

If it weren't for the fact that she had to show up today, the Fourth Prince's wife might not be willing to go out.
