My Stepmother is Soft and Charming

When Gu Xiaochun heard that he was being praised, he wiped the corners of his mouth with a handkerchief and laughed.

Before she could speak, the aunt holding Jin'er beside her started talking mysteriously.

"Xiao Chun is here again. She looks so good that she can squeeze out tears. Maybe she is still a sweet girl."

As soon as her words came out, everyone at the table became a little uneasy.

Everyone looked at Gu Xiaochun with surprise on their faces. She was not shy at all. She smiled and nodded. Su Erlang next to her also looked at her dotingly and then added.

"It's still early now, it's only one month. It will be September or October next year when the baby is born. We like both our daughter and our son."

His words were filled with endless envy when they fell into Gu Xiaoyun's ears.

Staying in such a comfortable big family, she also wants to have more children. Among other things, she wants a daughter as soft and sweet as Jin'er. But seeing that Brother Zhong is still young, she has a lot of energy. I'm afraid I can't take care of it, so I'll forget it for now.

Du Jingyi was also pleasantly surprised.

It's a good thing to have a child in the family, but now that he's done with his filial piety, no one can say anything.

Besides, once they leave, there will be fewer people in this family. If a new child comes, the old house will be full of life.

So he said to Gu Xiaochun.

"It seems that the one I used to give to Guanyin was really good."

"That's what my sister-in-law said."

Although the elder sister-in-law Chen Yinhua did not speak, she looked at Gu Xiaochun's expression with a touch of gentleness. It could be seen that she was also happy from the bottom of her heart that her sister was pregnant again.

The adults were talking about children, and the children were not idle either.

After eating and drinking enough, we started running around in the flower hall and started making trouble. Brother Tai was the older brother and now he could speak fluently and run even more steadily, so he and his three younger brothers just ran around here and there for fun. Brother Dezhong followed with his eyes bulging, and he kept giggling.

"Slow down, be careful. It's hard to get a full tooth. If one falls out, our brother Tai will no longer be handsome."

The fourth aunt opened her mouth and said jokingly, but after hearing this, Brother Tai grinned.

"My teeth are white and I'm fine."

His appearance made the fourth aunt very happy, and she couldn't help but touch his head. Seeing this, the other triplets were not to be outdone. They put their heads in front of the fourth aunt, stretched out their heads and said.

"Touch, touch."

Aunt Four liked having several children around her, so she touched them one by one.

At this point, the triplets were very satisfied.

Among them, the one who speaks the fastest and most fluently is Brother Cong. He lives up to his name. He is indeed extra smart. A child of one and a half years old can already speak short sentences, which is much better than Brother Tai at the beginning. Much faster.

Du Jingyi also specially invited Dr. Xia to check. After looking at it carefully, she said that the child was probably calm, remembered what others were saying, and gradually imitated it, so he had to speak faster.

As for Brother Ming and Brother Wen, they seemed a bit silly compared to him, especially Brother Wen, who looked like he was only tall but not knowledgeable. Standing next to his two brothers, they were both half a head taller.

I don’t know if I thought he was born alone, so he must be extra big.

But it was the differences in such small details that made Du Jingyi feel relieved. Although they were three children, they should have their own different lives. Three children have three paths. When they grow up, they can run towards it.

Thinking of this, the expressions he looked at the children relaxed a lot.

New Year's Eve ended with the laughter of the whole family. When the sun rose on the next day, Daxing's policy of showing virtue had reached its twenty-nineth year.

In this flash, Du Jingyi has been married to Gu Shaoyu for seven years.

And she is already in her prime.

She has respectable elders around her, a husband who supports each other, lovely and smart children, and a large family of relatives and friends. It sounds like she is living a happy life.

Compared with her current success, the royal family in Sui'an City are in a different situation.

It was the first day of the Lunar New Year in the twenty-ninth year of Xian De.

In the palace, everything was quiet.

Traces of last night's joyous singing and dancing were still scattered everywhere, but the palace people still got up early as usual, and went about their duties quickly and quietly, sweeping and picking up things, no one was careless.

Under the towering palace walls, as the early sun rises, the light shines all over the palaces.

Changchun Palace, main hall.

Queen Guo got up early. She was happy last night and drank two glasses of wine with her, so she woke up with a slight headache today, but it didn't matter. After using some honey water, she felt much better, so she ordered the maids to freshen her up. dress up.

Today, Queen Guo still has big things to do.

The emperor's health was not good, so this year's heaven-sacrifice ceremony was carried out by her, the queen of a country, with the prince and princess, so naturally she couldn't be careless in the slightest.

The maids are also interested. They have prepared the phoenix robes early. Now they are tying their hair to make a bun with clouds in their hair. Coupled with the queen's crown of nine phoenixes holding beads, it looks like she is the most luxurious person in the world.

While I was dressing up, I saw Eunuch Hu walking in from outside. He didn't seem to have changed much in the new year. He was still the same as before, with a calm face and a stooped back.

"This slave sends my regards to the Queen, who may live a thousand years."

Hearing the sound, the queen said "hmm", and then asked calmly while looking at the hairpin shaking in the bronze mirror.

"What should I say, is it better over there, Your Majesty?"

"Eunuch Liu said he's much better after taking medicine."

When Eunuch Hu said this, there was nothing special about his expression, but the queen glanced at the look in his hand and understood something in her heart, and the corners of her mouth could not help but rise.

The snow in Sui'an City has been falling since the end of October.

As soon as the weather got colder, the already sick emperor would naturally not be able to hold on. If it weren't for the dosage of elixir that the imperial concubine aggravated, he might not even be able to recover this year.

The Queen knew exactly what the purpose was.

It's just that the current emperor is at the end of his strength, and his body has been completely hollowed out by the elixir. If he can survive until the spring of this year, it will be regarded as a tribute to his ancestors.

So Empress Guo is doing nothing now, just waiting patiently for the emperor to die, and the evidence in her hand is enough to send the imperial concubine and the four princes to their deaths.

Thinking of this, her spirit became even more radiant, and the aura of the mother of the country that originally belonged to her was revealed in every detail.

"Now that Your Majesty is feeling better, let your concubine take more care of you."

"Yes, concubine."

Eunuch Hu got the order and walked out of Changchun Palace. When he left, the palace was filled with peace and tranquility, but the face of the imperial concubine who was taking care of the emperor became increasingly ugly.

This is the fourth time I've been sick since September. I don't know what to say. I'll post the third update at around noon today. I'm sorry.
