"good."

After saying that, Cherry came up and helped Du Jingyi to take a bath.

Soaking in the hot water, she felt completely relaxed. Now that an important matter had been settled, her only hope was to see her husband return during this year's New Year's Day.

But this was not something she could control. All she could do was to do what her husband had instructed in the letter.

In the following days, New Year gifts were sent out one after another.

After receiving a gift, one naturally has to return it, so the general's mansion was bustling with people coming and going, and it became lively ahead of time.

The contact that should be made should be made, and the confirmation that should be made should be made.

After the winter month passed and the twelfth month began, the people on the list had arrangements one after another, so many people and things were gradually moving towards Yingzhou.

These people have been working for decades, so what they lack the most is patience and the ability to remain calm. Therefore, not only Prince Yin, but even the emperor did not notice much.

While their people were heading to Yinzhou, the princes of various fiefdoms came to Sui'an City with their families. There were four consecutive weddings of princes, and the bridesmaids were all noble ladies in the court, so this excitement would definitely last for half a month.

The marriage of the eldest prince and the third prince was scheduled for the sixth and ninth day of the twelfth lunar month. Both dates were extremely auspicious. With the Empress Dowager in person in charge, no one in the inner court dared to be careless.

A sea of ​​things were sent to the residences of the two princes. Although the Earl's Mansion was reprimanded by the Emperor, at this time, it was also their day to play the leading role, so naturally they assisted from outside to make the event lively.

Especially for the eldest prince, the third day after his marriage was Laba Festival. The couple personally cooked a bowl of Laba porridge and presented it to the emperor, which made the emperor very happy.

Not only did he receive a series of rewards, the most important thing was that he was given the title of the first prince of this dynasty.

After the title of Prince Rong was bestowed upon him, he was immediately no longer on an equal footing with his other brothers. The power of those who secretly helped the eldest prince also grew stronger and gradually became a force in the court that could not be underestimated.

This was a matter of great laughter for Queen Yan and the Earl's Mansion.

The Queen's party benefited a lot. In comparison, the wedding expenses of the Second Prince and the Fourth Prince were three points less.

Fortunately, both the Ling family and the Zeng family are wealthy families. Now that the marriage has been decided, they will naturally not let their daughters marry hastily.

So in terms of dowry, it cannot compare to the ten-mile-long red wedding dowry of Princess Rong of the Duke of Fengguo's family, but it is also piled high with 128 loads of dowry.

On the wedding day, all were sent to the residences of the two princes.

Concubine Hui and the eldest and second princesses all asked for grace and came out of the palace to congratulate. Although the emperor was not present, he still sent two specially made gold and jade ruyi. The empress also sent someone to deliver a brocade quilt with a hundred sons and a thousand blessings in it, which made the feast complete.

Before all the firecrackers on the street were swept away, the next house started setting off again.

The happiest people in Sui'an City this year were the children who picked up the lucky money. Some of the smart and hardworking ones even got some loose change, which was enough for the whole family to live a good life for half a year.

Therefore, everyone hopes that such happy events will happen every year.

But there was one who was well-informed and said with a smile.

"These four princes were all raised by Your Majesty when he was in the East Palace. The remaining princes were born after Your Majesty ascended the throne. They have to wait until they get married, which will be at least ten years later. By then, it will not be you who will pick up the money, but your children."

These words made all the onlookers happy, and the festive atmosphere became even stronger.

Now that Prince Yin has returned, Du Jingyi will naturally find a way to contact him. Regardless of whether he has to make his attitude clear right away, having a better relationship will always be beneficial for future work.

However, with her status, it was not appropriate for her to rashly contact a prince. Just when she was thinking of some way to contact him, the opportunity came to her.

The General’s Mansion, in Xitang Courtyard.

Du Jingyi looked at the invitation to the banquet from the main branch of the Xing family and said with a smile on his face.

"Our emperor is really good at weighing things up. A few days ago, he took advantage of the marriage of the four princes to give the queen and her family a lot of status and attitude. Now, he took the opportunity of the New Year to directly enthrone the noble concubine as the imperial concubine, which has brought more opportunities and hopes to the Xing family. This status is not only in this dynasty, but also in the two dynasties before it. There is no such honor. No wonder your uncle's family is in a hurry to hold a banquet. Such a good thing will be celebrated in every family."

"My cousin's wife is smart. She hit the nail on the head."

Xing Zhao took a sip of tea. He came specially to deliver this invitation, so of course he had to stay and talk to Du Jingyi.

"Before I came back, my cousin specifically asked us to sort out all the relationships in Sui'an City, and give the prince a big gift when he leaves. I have inquired and they will not return until February or March after the Chinese New Year, so there is more than enough time. Originally, I wanted to invite the prince to come in the name of a dinner, and now this gives us a good excuse!"

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

Du Jingyi knew exactly what this gift was.

However, if something like this were given to the prince, he would probably be a little scared.

"Your uncle wants to host a banquet in the name of the Imperial Concubine. We are using this banquet to establish a connection with the Crown Prince. If your uncle finds out about this in the future, you will be in big trouble."

"With my uncle's magnanimity, even if the Seventh Prince really took the throne, I would not have any good results. It would be the same result anyway. I might as well follow my cousin and his wife. At least you can still provide me with a full meal, right?"

Hearing this, Du Jingyi also laughed. Xing Zhao was really capable. He could always say something that made people feel comfortable.

Originally, this was an adventurous undertaking that the General's Mansion had to undertake. Bringing one more person in would increase the danger. However, Xing Zhao was not afraid and insisted on getting involved. Therefore, Gu Shaoyu and Du Jingyi would naturally remember this friendship.

Du Jingyi smiled, picked up the snacks beside him and passed them to him, then said.

"Don't worry, you won't be left hungry!"

They smiled at each other, both of them were full of expectations for the future. They talked for a while about establishing contact with the prince, and then dispersed.

Three days later, the Xing family's main house was filled with guests.

People from the third branch of the Xing family had to join in and host the banquet together.

Aunt Xing was somewhat reluctant, so most of the time she only stood and talked with Du Jingyi and the Gu family. But Madam Xing was different. She walked around the place, listening to the congratulations coming and going, and it could be said that she never took off the smile on her face.
