My Stepmother is Soft and Charming

There were complaints from time to time in the court, but the impact was not big. And just as everyone in the general's palace was planning to make Tai Ge's full moon famous, Shang Ji was suddenly summoned into the palace by His Majesty.

The people who came were not the two father-in-laws Liu and Hu, but rather strangers, so I couldn't ask anything about them.

Shang Ji glanced at Du Jingyi and said calmly.

It doesn't matter, I'll be right back.

Du Jingyi's face was quite calm. After thinking about it, it was probably because the queen had promised to change the surname before the child was one month old, so the matter had been reported to His Majesty.

So he also said to Shang Ji.

If I know this, I will definitely take care of my house.

It wasn't until his leaving figure completely disappeared that Du Jingyi had someone send the news to Mrs. Gu. Not long after, Mrs. Gu came in a hurry.

She knew more about the inside story than anyone present, and naturally knew what the Queen did in this matter. Now that Shang Ji was introduced to the palace, she felt much more uneasy than everyone else.

Du Jingyi saw her worried and comforted her.

Grandma, don't worry. The general is probably here to change his surname. Since the empress has given her eloquent guarantee, I guess there won't be any big problem.

Mrs. Gu didn't want everyone to see any flaws, so she had no choice but to endure it.

He nodded and said no more. He just looked at his beloved great-grandson and silently prayed for Shang Ji and Queen Guo in his heart.

Mrs. Du next to me only heard about this in the past two days. From the initial shock, she has long accepted it, so when she heard the news, she didn't find it scary anymore.

However, her status is not suitable for participating in this topic, so she doesn't talk nonsense and just coaxes her grandson.

Shang Ji was unable to ride a horse because of his leg injury, so he went away in a sedan chair. When he entered the palace, he was picked up in a soft sedan chair. The eunuchs didn't put him down until he reached the door of the royal study room.

Also coming with him was his father Shang Yukuan.

The father and son have not seen each other since the last time they met in the study room of the Duke's Mansion. Now that they have met, it doesn't matter that they are blood relatives, they still don't say a word.

Shang Yukuan's Qi returned to Qi, and he also had two hearts and minds inside.

When he saw Shang Ji limping, he also expressed surprise and distress, and then asked.

Mukuro, why did you hurt your leg?

Shang Ji didn't say much and just walked forward silently.

Fortunately, there was not a long way from the door to the study, so it only took a short while for the father and son to enter the study.

The imperial study room was still furnished as before, but when Shang Ji first entered the door, he saw His Majesty the Emperor, whom he had not seen for a long time.

Wearing a bright yellow dragon robe, he should have been majestic, but his whole person looked like a loser, weak and weak.

It can be said that his age is the age when he knows his destiny, but now, it seems that he still doesn't have the same spirit as before the death of Marshal Gu.

Sitting next to him was Queen Guo. She looked like a mother who cared about the world, making people feel like they were seeing the dazzling luster of a pearl coming into the world.

Comparing the two sides, an ominous thought arose in Shang Ji's heart. His Majesty, the Emperor of the Daxing Dynasty, was probably going to die soon.

So he and his father Shang Yukuan knelt down in front of the emperor and shouted greetings.

I have met your Majesty. Long live your Majesty. Long live your Majesty.

Get flat.

Thank you, Your Majesty.

When he heard this, Shang Ji stood up. Seeing that his legs and feet were inconvenient, the emperor specially asked Eunuch Liu to give him a round stool to sit on. However, Shang Yukuan had no special circumstances and could only stand and reply.

Mukuro, are your legs feeling better?

Thank you for your concern, Your Majesty. It's just a minor injury. Just rest for two days.

That's good, I'm still waiting to see how you train the three armies, but you have to recover from your injuries quickly!

Yes, Your Majesty!

The emperor still relied heavily on Shang Ji. After all, it was him who stabilized the crisis in Cezhou and allowed the Daxing Dynasty to have a peaceful life again, so it is normal to be more concerned.

Shang Guogong didn't know why he came today, so he didn't dare to speak casually. At this moment, there was no one else in the royal study except Liu Eunuch, who was personally serving the emperor.

After he couldn't help but swallow his saliva, he heard the emperor speak.

I heard that there have been a lot of happy events in the General's Mansion recently. First, the eighth sister in the family got engaged to Silang of the Guo family, and then Liulang got a son. So I was very happy in my heart. Then I heard that Shang Aiqing and Liulang came to the palace. Talk about family life.

Hearing this, Shang Ji had a clue in his heart.

As he guessed, he was here today to change his surname, so he naturally wouldn't show too much excitement.

But Shang Yukuan next to him didn't know why. He felt that the emperor's concern was a good thing, so he shouted loudly.

The Emperor's kindness is so great that I thank Your Majesty on behalf of my daughter and grandson.

He would put gold on his face. The emperor even said that the general's palace was full of happy events, but he took over the conversation, which was really looked down upon.

However, Shang Ji didn't care about this trivial matter and just replied respectfully.

Thank you, Your Majesty.

It was just a few words, but the emperor seemed very satisfied, so he continued.

The marriage between the Guo family and the General's Mansion is a great thing. I will give you a reward when the two of you get married in the future.

Your Majesty, I would like to express my gratitude to you on behalf of my sister.

Get up and speak as you speak. You don't have to kneel down all the time. You need to pay more attention to your injured leg...

His Majesty the Emperor's concern is somewhat sincere at this moment.

But Shang Yukuan on the side didn't understand. The word marriage between the Guo family and the general's palace in the emperor's words had already left out the other country's duke's palace, and he was happy without knowing it.

Seeing this, Queen Guo interrupted and asked.

How is the child?

Go back to my queen, everything is fine.

Have you chosen a name yet?

My grandmother gave me a nickname, Brother Tai. The meaning is that whether it lasts forever, I will inherit Tai, and when it is dark, it will shine brightly in the morning.

After hearing this, Queen Guo smiled and then said to the emperor.

Mrs. Gu is still so knowledgeable. This baby name is really well chosen. Your Majesty, why don't you give this child a famous name? In this way, wouldn't it also be a great favor to the general's palace?

Give a name?

When he heard this, Shang Yukuan was extremely excited. He also had two direct grandchildren, but this third one could actually receive the name bestowed by His Majesty. Thinking about it, he felt that the family was honored.

In the future, when this child grows up, he will definitely make the lintel of the Duke's Mansion even more glorious! (End of chapter)
