My Stepmother is Soft and Charming

The two chatted for a while, then Du Jingyi gave instructions to the maid Yingtao.

Cherry, please send Dr. Wang out.

Yes, young lady.

Doctor Wang was also a man of rules. He followed Yingying out of Xitang Courtyard without stopping. After he left, Du Jingyi gave the medicine bottle to Li Zhu and gave serious instructions.

You go quietly, take this medicine back and let your parents find a way to check whether it is really effective. Don't be in trouble if something goes wrong.

Young Madam, do you doubt Wang Yizheng?

Li Zhu couldn't believe it. This was the queen's wife, how could he kill her?

Du Jingyi smiled, tapped her head gently, and then explained.

I have no doubts. It's just that the more you are careful about the child, the safer it will be. From now on, you must be careful about anything near the entrance. I don't want to have any accidents when I give birth to a child.

Who knows what will happen if the child is left alone in this general's mansion?

Since she brought this child into the world, she had to protect him from being bullied and plotted by others, so she had to send someone to carefully check everything he sent.

After all, the person who gave the gift may have good intentions, but who knows if someone will tamper with it, it’s hard to say.

Hearing this, Li Zhu nodded solemnly, and then left Xitang Courtyard quickly.

When she left, she happened to meet Yingtao coming back, so there was no shortage of people around Du Jingyi.

Young Madam, Doctor Wang just gave instructions to the slave again. He said that he looked at you as if you were about to take a bath, so he had to serve you carefully. Don't worry about the things in the yard. Wait until the little master comes to this world safely. , let’s talk about other things.”

Du Jingyi nodded. The house was originally peaceful, so there was really nothing for her to worry about.

But people want to take a break, but things may not stop.

The day before Chun Wei's results were announced, Shang Ji had some free time and hurried back from the camp.

It had been more than ten days since the couple last met, so when Shang Ji saw Du Jingyi again, he felt as if her belly had grown bigger again.

The body was still steaming from the freshly washed clothes, and the whole person was extremely refreshing. After carefully helping Du Jingyi sit down, he said.

I have already written to Your Majesty, asking Hugh to stay with you at home in ten days until the child is born.

Ten days? Isn't it too early?

After all, it was only the beginning of April, and ten days later it would be mid-April, but Doctor Wang said that her fetus would not be delivered until early May. If she stayed at home too early, would people make irresponsible remarks?

Hearing this, Shang Ji smiled.

It doesn't matter. Even if you can't take such a long break, I have my own way.

any solution?

Shang Ji was afraid of scaring her, so he didn't reveal much and only replied lightly.

You'll know then.

Du Jingyi glanced at him suspiciously, but didn't think much about it. Seeing this, Shang Ji changed the topic.

Later, I will accompany my grandmother to the palace to meet the Queen. I'm afraid it will be inconvenient for you because of your big belly, so you'd better stay at home.

I haven't been summoned by the Queen, can I go?

Du Jingyi's words made Shang Ji laugh, and he replied to her immediately.

Grandma is the imperial wife, and so are you. If you want to enter the palace with your status, just hand over the sign. I sent someone to hand it over to the Queen yesterday, so there is no need for an order, just go directly.

Du Jingyi only had one contact with the palace. Although he occasionally saw the prince and the princess at banquets, he had never sent a message to meet them like this.

Therefore, I really didn't know much about Mrs. Gaoming's rights, so I asked with a smile.

General, are you going to tell the Queen about changing your surname?

Well, when the baby is born, he also needs to choose a name. Instead of fussing over and over again, it's better to get it right in one go.

Shang Ji asked himself, he didn't even want his child to call himself Shang anymore, so as not to cause a lot of trouble in the future, so he decided to settle the matter in a hurry.

Du Jingyi thought for a moment, it was a matter of children and husband, she still wanted to go along and hear what the Queen had to say, so she paused briefly and said.

If possible, I would also like to go to the palace with you. The Queen has taken care of me for many months, so I should go and express my gratitude.

Shang Ji took a look at her condition and saw that there was nothing inconvenient about her walking, and there was a soft sedan to sit in after entering the palace, so he didn't stop her much.

Well, let's go together then.

Thank you, General.

The couple briefly chatted about the matter for a while, and then went to Xu Laiyuan to have dinner with Mrs. Gu.

Mrs. Gu also agreed to enter the palace.

Moreover, she has not seen the Queen since she went north, so she should pay her a visit.

Therefore, everyone in the General's Mansion was preparing to enter the palace, but in the Duke's Mansion, Mrs. Wei had already ordered people to set up firecrackers, waiting for Shang Qilang's inscription on the gold list tomorrow, to make a fuss.

This night, many people had sleepless nights.

As a result, some people went to the gate of Gongyuan to wait for the release of the results at dawn.

Du family, in Quxi courtyard.

Du Jingxiang slept quite comfortably, but He Shilin beside him was tossing and turning, like fish and shrimp being grilled on the fire.

He was looking forward to the results, but also worried about failing. After sighing two or three times in succession, he still woke up Du Jingxiang beside him.

She looked at her husband sleepily, and then she muttered.

What's wrong? Why are you sighing?

It's nothing, I'm just a little nervous since the results are about to be released.

It's okay. With my husband's ability, he will definitely be able to go to high school.

Du Jingxiang's relief made He Shilin feel unspeakably entangled, fearing that he would really fail the exam and not know how to disappoint his family.

But there is no good way at the moment, I can only bite the bullet and take a look.

Not long after the couple got up, news came from the Minse Courtyard that the carriages and horses were ready and they could set off immediately.

He Shilin took a deep breath and finally took his wife out of the courtyard.

Unlike his frown, the Du family and his wife were in high spirits, feeling that their eldest son-in-law was going to make a difference this time.

However, after seeing He Shilin's expression, the couple quickly calmed down their emotions and spoke calmly.

Don't be too anxious. If you don't succeed today, you can just take the exam next year. There's no need to be too stressed.

My father-in-law said that my son-in-law is not nervous.
