My Stepmother is Soft and Charming

As expected, he is the grandson of Marshal Gu. From a distance, he looks like the Gu family's army in those days!

Unfortunately, in the Battle of Jince eight years ago, the entire Gu family died heroically.

Except for this grandson, no other descendants remained.

One can't help but sigh.

This tone made the prince look sideways at Prime Minister Guo, and then said gently.

If Marshal Gu has a soul in heaven, he will definitely be happy that General Shang can achieve today's achievements.

Well, the prince said yes!

After the two of them finished speaking, the surrounding ministers also started to praise them.

On the other hand, Lieutenant Wei, who was standing next to him, snorted coldly and dismissed it.

But now is the time when Shang Ji is in bloom.

He is not stupid enough to step forward to find pleasure at this time.

The army came to the city gate tower.

Shang Ji got off his horse, and the twelve lieutenants following him also got off.

They knelt down on one knee in unison and shouted loudly.

I will wait until I see the prince!

Thank you for your hard work, soldiers. Please get up quickly!

Thank you, Prince!

The wind and sand in Cezhou added a bit more vicissitudes to everyone, but their eyes were more determined than before.

The prince was very pleased and took a few steps forward and said.

General Shang, my father has laid out the celebration wine in the palace and is waiting to help you wash away your dust! Please come!

Thank you, Your Majesty, for your kindness!

Then he gave instructions to the people behind him.

The twelve lieutenants will take off their armor and enter the palace with me. The rest of the officers will retreat ten miles and set up camp. They are not allowed to move without permission.

yes!

He has been struggling in the military camp since he was fifteen years old.

Although in terms of status, he is the young prince of the Duke's mansion.

But he is also a ruthless marshal who is admired by everyone in the army.

Therefore, no one disobeys his orders.

From the city gate to the palace gate, people lined the streets to welcome him.

The prince did not ride in the chariot he came with, but chose to ride the horse together with Shang Ji.

On the road, I watched the people celebrating and having countless handkerchiefs and sachets flying around.

He couldn't help but joke.

Rokuro's charm is indeed extraordinary. You said that these ladies are so enthusiastic even though they know you already have a wife. It seems that it won't be long before there is another happy event in the Duke's mansion.

Shang Ji replied nonchalantly.

I'm afraid the reputation of the general's wife-killing has not spread widely enough, otherwise there would be no way for the prince to laugh at today's scene.

The prince was speechless.

How can anyone say that he is a wife-suppressant? Do you still care about those rumors? Stop pretending. You are a descendant of the Shang and Gu families. You are not afraid of honor or disgrace with swords, guns, swords and halberds. How can you be afraid of this?

Shang Ji didn't want to get involved in personal matters, so he pursed his lips and kept silent.

Along the way north, I saw the prince talking non-stop, but he looked calm.

For those who don't know, he thought it was because the prince owed him unpaid gambling debts, that's why he looked like this.

After entering the palace surrounded by Shang Ji and the twelve lieutenants.

The excitement among the people also disappeared.

The palace banquet that receives the wind and washes away the dust is naturally a great way to change cups and cups.

It's a pity that the palace is constantly bustling, but the Duke of Shang's mansion, which should also be bustling, is a little deserted at the moment.

Especially Xitang Courtyard in Dongyuan.

When Du Jingyi returned from Yunjin Courtyard, his face looked a little tired.

In any case, she is also the young lady in the Duke's mansion.

She is the wife of General Shang Ji, who is married to the Ming matchmaker.

Shang Guogong and his wife entered the palace according to the order, but they only left her with the words I'm afraid you are too weak to eat the royal banquet.

It’s really about using people to move forward and not using people to move toward the back.

After today, everyone in Sui'an City will surely know that the young lady of the Duke of Shang's Mansion is a joke.

Her life in the mansion will probably be even more difficult in the future.

She is not afraid of deducting expenses or anything like that.

Anyway, my dowry is rich enough, even raising another Xitangyuan is not a problem.

But if such a slap in her face reached the ears of her parents.

I don’t know how sad they will be.

The sky gradually darkened, and lights were turned on one after another in the mansion.

Cherry brought the food over, but Du Jingyi didn't take a few bites.

I knew in my heart that my wife was sad, but I didn't know how to comfort her.

However, Du Jingyi saw her worries and said with a slight smile.

I ate pear meat in the afternoon, so I'm not hungry.

Then she lowered her eyes, making it difficult to see her emotions clearly.

Get some water, I want to take a bath.

yes.

When Du Jingyi is in a bad mood, he likes to take a quiet bath for a while.

It's as if all the worries can be washed away.

After entering the barrel, she felt alive.

There was some soothing condensation in the water, and the heat made Du Jingyi's cheeks turn red.

Yingying and Lizhu waited on them carefully.

After soaking for a while, Du Jingyi felt comfortable and then stood up.

After wiping away the moisture, she lay down on the beauty couch next to her and let the two girls apply moisturizing lotion on her.

Usually, this kind of thing is the most normal thing for Du Jingyi.

It just so happens that I spent a lot of time today.

Therefore, after Shang Ji came back from the banquet in the palace, he saw no one in the main room.

Instead, there were some tinny sounds coming from the ear room next door.

He has been in the military for many years, and his ear is naturally extraordinary.

So I heard someone taking a bath and washing up.

The drunkenness made him a little drunk, and he immediately frowned and asked behind him.

Who is bathing and washing here?

Behind him were Butler He and Aunt Dou who had served him for many years.

When the two of them saw him, they both looked excited and excited.

The first thing I never thought to ask was this.

So Aunt Dou stepped forward and said respectfully.

Young Master...oh no, the general is probably drunk. Is there anyone else who can bathe and wash in this room besides the young lady?

After hearing what she said, Shang Ji reacted.

He is a married man.

Sure enough, after staying in the military camp for a long time, I forgot that I also have a family.

Well, go and bring over two bowls of sobering soup. This imperial wine gave me a severe headache.

Okay, slave, let's go now.

The armor on his body seemed to weigh a thousand pounds at the moment, which made him feel a little uncomfortable.

Luo Yuan, the personal attendant who helped him into the main room, immediately spoke up.

General, please take off your armor for me.

Um.

The heavy breath mixed with the smell of wine quickly filled the entire room.

After Shang Ji took off his armor, he revealed a moon-white satin round-neck lining with narrow sleeves and cuffs, embroidered with dark cloud patterns.

On her feet were a pair of black brocade boots, and around her waist was a gold-embroidered belt of the same color.

It makes everyone look powerful.

General Shang, who used to be serious and calm during the day, now felt relaxed and comfortable all over his body.

It felt like I was back in a place I was familiar with, so I felt relaxed and happy.

He picked up the celadon cup on the table and poured himself a sip of tea to relieve his hangover.
