My Stepmother is Soft and Charming

Since others cannot be relied upon, you can only rely on yourself.

She may not be able to control the power, and she may not be able to gain the power, but if she learns the way to make money, she will be able to earn a lot of money in the future.

She believes that with the nourishment of money, people can be calm and unhurried.

Seeing how determined she was, Shang Ji finally relented.

"Since Madam is willing to give it a try, let's go and see what Sister-in-law thinks. But if she is not willing, don't be sad."

"Don't worry, General. I have been in business with my parents for a few years. I have never seen any expressions on my face. Even if my sister-in-law doesn't want to, I won't make it difficult for myself."

"That's good."

After the couple discussed the matter, they talked about other things.

At this time, sister-in-law Liu and nephew Shang Zhiping, who were still packing their things in Fuqiuyuan, didn't know what kind of twists and turns were waiting for them next.

After a good night's sleep, it was soon time for Du Jingyi to enter the palace for an audience.

She will dress up more grandly today than yesterday.

But Li Zhu and Ying Tao both remembered their general's words, so they didn't focus on the beauty. Instead, they focused on dignity and generosity.

Therefore, Du Jingyi today really looks like a lady.

The chariot and horse she was riding today were given to Shang Ji by the emperor, so she was very safe.

Yingying and Lizhu were also sitting neatly on both sides. Although there was tension in their eyes, they were more excited.

After all, they never thought three years ago that they would one day enter the palace and meet the most noble woman in the world. Therefore, the two of them kept breathing in and out to adjust their mentality.

Du Jingyi, on the other hand, had never lost his smile since he left the house.

The wind blew through the car curtains, stirring them slightly.

Looking at the serious-faced husband Shang Ji riding his horse outside, Du Jingyi felt as sweet as honey.

Obviously yesterday he said that His Majesty had not summoned him, but today he got up early and said that he had military affairs to report to the palace.

It is not ruled out that there is really such a reason, but Du Jingyi also knows that there is still a reason why he can't worry about her.

So she was grateful.

Perhaps it was Shang Ji who accompanied him all the way, so Du Jingyi felt a lot more comfortable.

The carriage drove steadily for less than half an hour, and the majestic imperial city appeared in front of everyone's eyes.

There were imperial guards guarding the palace entrance. When they saw Shang Ji, they all showed more respect than before.

"I have met the general."

"Um."

As soon as he finished speaking, Luo Yuan, who was beside Shang Ji, drove his horse forward to explain.

"The general has military affairs to report to Your Majesty today. The general's wife has received an edict from the empress and has come to the palace to see her. Please let her go."

As soon as these words were spoken, the commander of the guards respectfully let him go.

From the city gate to the palace gate, the journey is smooth.

It wasn't until the carriage and horses stopped in front of Yuding Gate that Shang Ji rode his horse to the side and said to Du Jingyi sitting inside.

"Get out of the car. The Queen will send someone to pick you up in a sedan chair."

Du Jingyi was a little surprised, but he still took a deep breath and came down with Yingying and Lizhu.

Shang Jixia immediately went to give her a hand, although it was less than one percent of the usual intimacy between the two.

But Du Jingyi was still a little shy.

There must be palace people standing in front of me today. Sure enough, I saw a kind-faced father-in-law walking over and said.

"My servant has met General Shang and the young lady."

"Eunuch Hu, there is no need to be polite. You are the chief eunuch beside the Queen. Even when you meet my father, you don't need to be so polite."

This person's identity was revealed in one sentence, which made Du Jingyi know how to treat him.

Those are three clear words: not to be messed with.

Seeing this, Eunuch Hu smiled more and more kindly, and said hurriedly.

"The general exalts his slave."

Shang Ji accepted his words smoothly.

"Eunuch Hu is very polite. I have something to report to Your Majesty today, so I won't delay here any longer. If the Queen's summons is over, please Eunuch Hu send someone to let me know so that I can go home with you."

"It's strange that people outside are saying that the general and the young lady are a match made in heaven. When I saw them today, I felt that they were a perfect match for each other. If the queen knew about it, she would definitely be happy."

Du Jingyi stood beside him, always maintaining a dignified and decent posture.

Not a word was spoken, not a movement made.

I went over the rules taught by my grandma, whom my father had paid a lot of money to teach me, carefully in my mind.

Eunuch Hu has been serving in the palace for many years and has never seen anything like this.

Naturally, he knew the panic in Du Jingyi's heart, so he said with a smile.

"Young Madam, please go with me. Your Majesty and Madam Xing are cooking snow and tea in Changchun Palace, waiting for you to come over."

Hearing that his aunt was here, Du Jingyi felt a lot more at ease, so after taking a look at her husband, she replied politely.

"Please, Eunuch Hu, please lead the way."

"please."

Du Jingyi got on the soft sedan, and after the curtain was lowered, he heard Eunuch Hu shouting.

"Get up the sedan."

Then I felt my body rise slightly, and then walked forward steadily.

The maids Yingying and Lizhu stood on the left and right sides of the sedan and followed, and the group went straight to the harem.

As for Shang Ji, he turned around and said after watching Du Jingyi's sedan gradually go away.

"Let's go, I'll go see His Majesty."

"yes."

Luo Yuan followed Shang Ji into the palace countless times, so he acted much calmer.

The roads in the palace are also being swept at all times, so there is no trace of snow falling at all.

It's just that the north wind is blowing, pushing the entire imperial city into an even colder state.

After walking for about half an hour, Du Jingyi arrived at the gate of Changchun Palace.

As soon as I got off the sedan chair and lifted the curtain, I saw the palace where countless women dreamed of.

As expected, it is the residence of the empress of Fengyi World. You can feel this dignity and dignity just through the high palace walls.

Eunuch Hu took a step forward and ushered Du Jingyi in.

The maids Yingying and Lizhu also followed behind their young lady, following every step and being very disciplined.

The master and servant entered the gate of Changchun Palace and did not dare to look around.

But this luxurious and graceful attitude came to mind.

Changchun Palace faces north and faces south, standing on a white marble platform.

It is seven rooms wide and five rooms deep. The ingot roof of the triple rolling shed is covered with green colored glaze.

The pillars under the eaves are carved with lotus pattern bases, and under the eaves are painted various colorful paintings of auspicious scenes.

The verandah is wrapped by the floor-to-ceiling nanmu flower canopy. After passing through the hanging flower door on the west side, you enter the courtyard.

As soon as you enter the courtyard gate, you can see an octagonal pedestal made of white jade in the middle, with a huge Taihu stone placed on it.

There are holes everywhere, and the scenery moves with every step.

Ordinary people can brag about it for half their lives if they get a piece of Taihu stone the size of their fingertips, but if it falls in the Changchun Palace, it is just a scene in the courtyard.
