Madam Gu's words made Du Jingyi's nose sore and his eyes red.
In fact, before Du Jingyi, Shang Ji had three wives, so no matter what she did outside, she was always criticized as a second wife.
But now there is no Shang Ji in this world anymore, and the one who survives is Gu Shaoyu. So Gu Shaoyu has only one wife, and that is Du Jingyi.
Therefore, after she returned to Jinling City and was included in the family tree, it was natural for her to go from being the second wife of the Duke's Mansion to the original wife of the Gu family's general. Such an honor was approved by Old Madam Gu, so Du Jingyi was deeply moved.
She had never seen her own grandmother. The old lady Gu in front of her was her dear grandmother. She not only considered her health and asked her husband to be more restrained, but also never forced her to have more children. Now she could even help her out in front of the emperor. Du Jingyi didn't know what to say, and could only secretly swear to be doubly filial to her in the future.
Shang Ji looked at his grandmother and his wife, who were so close and friendly, and put on a smile. Then he strode towards Changchun Palace to pick up his "new sisters".
Changchun Palace.
Queen Guo had been waiting early, and when she saw Old Madam Gu, she couldn't help but shed tears.
"Now that my godmother has left, I don't know when she will come back to Sui'an City. We are mother and daughter, but we have only seen each other a few times in these years. I feel really bad."
Old Madam Gu held Empress Guo's hand and sighed and said.
"At my age, I am afraid I don't have much time left. Your Majesty, please take care of yourself. Don't be too extreme in everything. It is the truth to protect yourself and the people who are important to you."
Because Shang Ji and Du Jingyi were there, she didn't say everything, but Queen Guo understood that she was reminding herself about the Zhao family.
But the arrow was on the string and had to be shot, so Empress Guo did not dwell on the matter any further and just said a few words.
"You are only in your seventies now, you are still in your prime. Don't say such discouraging words. I have seen that they are very filial to you these days. They have a new great-grandson. The good days have just begun. Don't do this. They must last a long time!"
After hearing this, Old Madam Gu was also moved. She held Empress Guo's hand for a long time without saying a word.
Shang Ji and Du Jingyi couldn't get a word in, so they had to wait on the side.
Only after the two had said their farewell words did Queen Guo turn her gaze to the couple standing beside them, and then called out two palace maids.
"I think His Majesty has already told you, so the two of them are now members of the Gu family. In the future...what happens in the future is their own fate. You can decide for yourself."
Queen Guo didn't know what had just happened in the imperial study, so she thought that these two would still be Shang Ji's concubines. It was true that she found them, but she would not use them all the time, so she couldn't say who she was leaning towards.
This was a reminder to the three of them. If they behaved themselves, it would be fine to keep them. If not, they could deal with it themselves.
When the two palace maids heard this, their faces turned pale, but they didn't say anything more.
They might not be able to find a way out in the palace, but going to the Gu family might provide another world. Therefore, the two of them were thinking about finding a way out. They looked at Shang Ji shyly, then lowered their heads and abided by the rules.
Seeing this scene, Du Jingyi didn't know what to say, but Shang Ji took the initiative to tell him what had just happened.
Before the two of them could react, they had gone from being General Gu's concubine to being the eldest aunt and the daughter of the second aunt of the Gu family. Although their status had become much more noble, their future was filled with uncertainty.
Marrying Shang Ji is the obvious path.
They are capable and handsome, and most importantly, the backyard is clean and there is no one else. They just have to serve the mistress, which they don't find difficult.
After all, they had seen all kinds of difficult nobles in the palace, so they could still withstand this little bit of wind and rain. However, since she was the daughter of the Gu family and had no blood relationship, it sounded good that they could marry a son-in-law into the family in the future, but how to make a conclusion was another matter, so the two of them were very nervous.
"Gu Xiaochun, Gu Xiaoyun, these are the names His Majesty has bestowed upon your two sisters. From now on, we will be a family. With your aunts here, we will definitely find good husbands for you, and you will live a stable life."
Du Jingyi said something at the right time, which relieved the two of them.
There was no other way out at the moment, so after weighing the pros and cons, the two could only bow and agree.
The maids-in-charge who were trained in the palace were naturally good-looking, talented, and perceptive, so Du Jingyi was not worried about their "suspicion" at the moment.
When she truly sees a bright future ahead, she believes that no one will have any concerns about it, and everyone will naturally pursue a good future and live a stable life.
Queen Guo glanced at Du Jingyi and saw that she was frank, so the corners of her mouth curled up a lot.
Then he gave instructions to the two of them.
"After you leave the palace today, you are no longer people in the palace. You must not act arrogantly and domineeringly in the future, do you understand? If I knew that you two were not living a good life outside and wasted His Majesty's efforts, then I would have plenty of good days for you and your family, do you understand?"
Empress Guo had been in power in the harem for many years and was well-versed in both thunder and rain, so the palace people both respected and feared her. After hearing her speak like this, the two of them knelt down and spoke.
"I will follow your majesty's instructions. I will never dare to act rashly."
There is no mistake in the poem, post, content, and read the book on 6, 9, and bar!
"That's good."
If the two of them had a glimmer of hope just now, wanting to use the reputation bestowed by His Majesty to establish a little authority in the rear house, now they dared not move at all.
Not only for your own life, but also for the safety of your family.
Old Madam Gu was grateful for Queen Guo's instructions, so she patted the Queen's hand and spoke.
"Take care of yourself more and worry less about them. They still have the final say on how to live your life."
Empress Guo changed her harsh attitude and became more gentle and kind.
Now, apart from the two elders of the Guo family, the only person she could treat so kindly was probably Old Madam Gu. Even her own son, the Crown Prince, would sometimes be severely reprimanded by her.
Empress Guo has never been a loving mother.
There is no doubt about this.
Having said this, they had said almost everything that needed to be said. They said goodbye to Queen Guo, led the new girls out of the palace.
The vastness of the imperial city is awe-inspiring.
But at this moment, in Du Jingyi's eyes, it was more of a prosperous cage.
It trapped Queen Guo, who wanted to break free, and also trapped the hearts of those who wanted to strive for advancement.
Finally returned to the original time slot for updates~~ Hehe~~
