Du Jingyi may not know the twists and turns here, but the Guo family knows it clearly.
So when the Crown Princess was talking to someone else, Mrs. Guo San came forward and explained to Du Jingyi in a low voice.
Only then did she know what had happened in the Fourth Prince's Mansion.
"In this circle, being well-informed is the most important thing. Since you want to be the head of this family, you can't be a fool. You must be sharp-eyed and sharp-eared. Otherwise, you never know when you will say something that offends others."
After listening to Mrs. Guo San's explanation, Du Jingyi was also full of gratitude.
These words must have been instigated by Old Madam Guo, which is why she came to tell him, so Du Jingyi kept the friendship of the Guo family in mind.
"I have been focusing on taking care of Brother Tai these days and didn't pay much attention. Thank you for reminding me, aunt. I will definitely be more vigilant in the future."
The Crown Princess might not be deliberately trying to make trouble with her, but after looking around, she could see that she was both lethal and could make the Fourth Prince's wife wary.
That's why this incident happened, and Du Jingyi became more and more careful about the interactions at the table. After all, it involved the royal family, so he had to be careful.
Since she is not the protagonist today, naturally the people surrounding this matter are just a passing glance.
Soon everyone was attracted by the new topic, but Du Jingyi always felt that he could feel some resentful eyes looking at him from time to time, but when he turned around, he didn't see
A pair of eyes hidden in the dark, when looking at Du Jingyi, were indeed filled with some dissatisfaction and anger, as if Du Jingyi had taken away something of hers, which made people very angry.
Du Jingyi also knew that today was not a day to cause trouble, so he endured it, but secretly told himself that he would send someone to investigate it thoroughly when he got back.
The backyard was bustling with activity, and so was the front hall.
However, before the wedding procession returned, the Seventh Prince's Mansion experienced a small climax in advance, because the imperial concubine, who was quite favored by the dynasty, came in person.
Following a long shout of "The Imperial Concubine has arrived", Du Jingyi saw the Imperial Concubine who was known to be as beautiful as a fairy.
It turns out that people need a foil.
With her appearance, the phrase "all the beauties in the palace pale in comparison" became a very appropriate phrase.
Many of the people present had seen the Imperial Concubine before, so there was more envy than surprise in their eyes. However, for those like her who were seeing the Imperial Concubine for the first time, everyone opened their mouths slightly in surprise.
Her skin was as white as cream, her eyebrows were like willow leaves, and when she walked, her waist was so slender that she could be held in one hand. She looked like a woman in her twenties. How could you tell that she was already a grandmother? Her facial features had a kind of captivating charm, which was originally incompatible with her own delicate temperament, but when they were combined together, they created a strange harmony that made people unable to look away.
It is no wonder that the imperial concubine is favored by the emperor. Even the women in the harem were so excited when they saw her, let alone the men.
The imperial concubine was obviously accustomed to people's amazement at her appearance, so she walked in with great grace.
"Your Majesty, I greet you. May your Majesty be at peace."
"Your Highness, I greet you. May your Highness be at peace."
A large crowd of people knelt down. In the face of absolute imperial power, no matter how many little tricks they had, they were not worth mentioning.
After sitting down in the seat at the top, the imperial concubine smiled and spoke.
"Everyone, please stand up. Today is Xiaoqi's good day. You are all here to congratulate her. There is no need to be so polite."
"Thank you, Madam."
Du Jingyi had met Empress Guo before. Naturally, the imperial concubine's demeanor in front of her was not as dignified as that of the empress, who was the mother of the country, but she also showed some rare kindness.
She had thought that favored imperial concubines were usually arrogant and overbearing, but she had not expected that when she spoke she would be as gentle and tender as a girl from the Jiangnan water village, making one feel as if she were holding a ball of soft dough in her hands.
But, I think so.
There is no room for two tigers in one mountain. If this imperial concubine had an intolerant personality, there would have been news of some discord between her and Empress Guo long ago. It would not be the case that so few people have mentioned this matter over the years.
But not saying it doesn't mean you don't have this thought.
The Fourth Prince was not as calm as his mother on this point. Instead, he showed a desire to strive to be the best and not to admit defeat.
Even if the other party is the powerful prince, there is always a chance until the last moment, right?
He thought so, and as the Fourth Prince's wife was his bedmate, she naturally felt the same way.
So, after the imperial concubine appeared and attracted everyone's attention, she immediately stepped forward and became the most capable confidant beside that delicate flower.
The imperial concubine was obviously very fond of her daughter-in-law, so she was happy to praise her while talking to the other ladies.
Du Jingyi stood aside and watched quietly, and Wei Jialian beside Princess Fu was also watching.
She now appears at every occasion following Princess Fu, especially every banquet where she can meet the Fourth Prince, she can always make accurate arrangements.
There is no mistake in the poem, post, content, and read the book on 6, 9, and bar!
Similarly, Princess Fu was also whispering "instructions" in her ear.
"You see, if you win the favor of the Imperial Concubine, you will naturally become a favorite in the eyes of all the ladies. This is better than any other method. If you can also win the favor of the Imperial Concubine, I think it will pave the way for your future."
Everyone in Sui'an City knows how filial the Fourth Prince is to his mother.
Therefore, these words also fell deeply into Wei Jialian's heart.
In terms of sweet talk and insight, she didn't think she was as good as the Fourth Prince's wife, but if it was someone else, she might be just as good.
Since she already considered the position of the first wife as a sure thing, of course she had to study hard how to get to the position. Not only did she have to get to the position, but she also had to do better than the Fourth Prince's wife.
Therefore, the Imperial Concubine became her next target.
Then he replied to Princess Fu in a low voice.
"Don't worry, cousin. Jialian has her own way."
Princess Fu was of course relieved. She had thought that this child was just a brainless one who was spoiled at home. However, she knew that when getting along with the Fourth Prince, she knew how to play both sides.
The two of them haven't even held hands yet, but the Fourth Prince's eyes were a little jealous when he saw her.
Princess Fu had no idea how she did it specifically.
But every time I see this kind of scene, I can't help but sigh that the disciple is better than the master.
Therefore, she did not have any unnecessary worries about Wei Jialian becoming the Fourth Prince's consort.
The Fourth Prince's wife's mind is now focused on the Imperial Concubine. Naturally, she has not noticed that she has become their prey and is still trying to liven up the atmosphere.
However, Du Jingyi, who was standing on the sidelines, inadvertently saw a flash of ambition in Wei Jialian's eyes.
There have been some unexpected situations in the past two days, so the update may not be guaranteed to be in the early morning, I am very sorry, but I will adjust it as soon as possible, and I hope that the daily 6k can still be released on time for the sisters! Sorry again!
