My Stepmother is Soft and Charming

"Sister-in-law, don't be nervous. Just think of it as an ordinary family dinner. The most important thing is to have a good look at the daughter of the Li family. If it's really good, then Ping'er's marriage will be settled early."

Her words relieved Liu's nervousness in an instant. She had not met many noble people. After marrying into the Duke's palace for so many years, she only went to the palace once with her mother-in-law Gu after getting married, and then with her aunt Mrs. Xing. I have made it once, and it is full of success. This is only the third time. Therefore, I don’t seek merit, but just seek no faults.

Therefore, sister-in-law Liu also held Du Jingyi's hand and said with a smile.

"I'm older than you, so I want you to comfort me. Don't worry, I won't embarrass the General's Mansion and the Duke's Mansion, especially in front of the Li family."

"It's not that it's embarrassing or not, but that my sister-in-law should be more relaxed. Ping'er can also feel it. He is only eighteen now, which is the age to show his face in front of nobles. If he can be appreciated by them, Yu Ping'er It will also be very beneficial to your future future.”

When Du Jingyi persuades people, he will focus on the key points. After all, in a situation like her sister-in-law, what she cares about most is of course Ping'er, so as long as she can treat Ping'er well, her sister-in-law Liu will do anything.

Sure enough, after hearing this, sister-in-law Liu also silently recited the rules she had learned before, and there was no time to be nervous about going back and forth.

Ping'er and Gu Shaoyu were riding outside to take the lead.

The two uncles and nephews, one is older and calm, the other is young and energetic, and their appearance is somewhat similar, so they look very harmonious.

"After entering the palace, the rules are the top priority. Don't forget to bow to the people you should meet. But don't be too nervous. You know a lot of people from the East Palace and the Guo family, so just be yourself. The only thing is, you must not make any mistakes in front of the Queen, do you understand?"

"My nephew understands and will follow Uncle Six closely and not cause trouble."

"Um."

After all, Ping'er is not Xing Zhao. He has never seen anything like this since he was a child. It is already very good for him to be as successful as he is today, but compared to other young masters from aristocratic families, he is not as capable as he is.

But this can't be done in a hurry, it can only be adjusted slowly.

In the future, if we see more scenes like this, we will naturally relax.

When the Gu family entered the imperial city, they happened to meet people from the Guo family, including Prime Minister Guo, Mrs. Guo, the eldest son and his wife of the Guo family, the third master and his wife of the Guo family, Guo Silang and Xue Niang, among them, and several others. They are the other children and grandchildren of the Guo family.

"Shaoyu has met Grandfather Guo, Grandma Guo, and all my uncles and aunts."

"Get up, why should we be so reserved as a family? We are all here to eat at the Queen's table. You and I are all guests."

Guo Xiang would say so, but Gu Shaoyu didn't dare to really think so.

Therefore, there should be no shortage of etiquette, and everyone in the Gu family following him also behaved themselves.

The reason for today's banquet was Du Jingyi and the children. Naturally, both Xiang Guo and Mrs. Guo focused on them.

Especially Mrs. Guo, who obviously has a lot of children and grandchildren, but she feels a special sense of intimacy when she sees Brother Tai. Now Brother Tai has become an elder brother, followed by three younger brothers the size of peakins. , Mrs. Guo smiled from ear to ear as if she had seen nectar.

"My dear, who can be as lucky as you? Look at these four boys. They are so temperamental now when they are only two or three years old. When they grow up, they will be even better. They will definitely enchant the ladies in Sui'an City. It’s so filthy!”

As soon as her words came out, everyone laughed, and the tension lingering in everyone's hearts was relieved a lot.

Brother Tai is a little man. Although he didn't have a deep impression of Mrs. Guo, he still said it with a smile on his face.

"Brother Tai has met great-grandfather Guo and great-grandmother Guo."

Her voice was milky, but her etiquette was very good, which made Mrs. Guo couldn't help but half-bent down and said.

"Brother Tai, still remember me?"

"Hehe, remember."

"Good boy, you are such a smart and well-behaved boy. It's not in vain for great-grandmother Guo to love you so much. I will send gifts to your house when I get back later. Great-grandmother will remember to fill your little private treasury." .”

Hearing this, Du Jingyi took a step forward and said helplessly.

"Grandma Guo, please stop spoiling him. He is almost richer than the general at this young age."

"What are you afraid of? If Shaoyu really has no money, won't he still have a wife like you who can make money? But as for our brother Tai, we only have the love of our great-grandmothers, so we don't need to give him more!"

When Mrs. Guo said this, the people present probably believed it, including Mrs. Guo and Brother Tai. The rest of them looked like they were holding back their laughter and watching the fun. In the end, Guo Silang interrupted.

"Grandma is really good at planning. I think you, the old man, have taken a liking to Brother Tai and want him to be our great-grandson-in-law."

Mrs. Guo responded to his joke.

"It's just you, the monkey spirit!"

Although the words were not said completely, the meaning was self-evident. When Mrs. Guo looked at Du Jingyi, there were indeed some thoughts in her eyes, which made Du Jingyi stunned for a while.

My son is only three years old, does he have to think so much now?

Seeing that Du Jingyi and his wife did not answer, Mrs. Guo also took advantage of the situation and went around to talk about something else.

"Let's go, if you don't go, the queen's table will be cold."

"yes."

Among the crowd, Prime Minister Guo and Mrs. Guo were the most respected. Six or seven chariots and horses entered the imperial city. They all came down together in front of the gate of the inner palace and changed to the soft sedan chair in the palace.

After struggling for half an hour, everyone arrived at the Changchun Palace.

It's no different from when Du Jingyi came back. At most, the branches are gradually becoming more lush.

It was winter when they last came back to say goodbye, and now it is spring three years later when they enter the palace again. The days indeed fly by.

When they entered the main hall, they saw people coming from the East Palace, as well as the Crown Princess's natal family, Earl Weiyuan's Mansion, and the invited members of the Li family who were also present.

All of a sudden, the originally empty hall became lively.

"My lord, my wife brings her family to pay homage to the Queen."

A large group of people knelt down, and the children, all led by wet nurses at the end, knelt down to salute respectfully.

"Father and mother, there is no need to be polite. Everyone else should also be on the same level."

"Thank you, empress."

It is not difficult for everyone in the Guo family to meet the queen, so it has only been a month since they last met. However, when everyone in the Gu family meets the queen, they must be more polite.

"Shao Yu, bring your wife and children to this palace for a closer look. We haven't seen each other for several years, and I don't know what happened to them."

When the queen spoke, Gu Shaoyu dared not disobey.
