My Stepmother is Soft and Charming

Every time, the fourth aunt would say a few words, saying that this child was a martial arts prodigy.

This made Du Jingyi one head and two big. He was clearly a genius who could speak clearly as he had just said before.

Sure enough, the elder's words of praise for the younger one cannot be fully believed, so there is too much favor mixed in it, so people's hearts are naturally biased.

The female family members in the general's residence were all doting on him, and Mrs. Du often came to praise her. Fortunately, Shang Ji and Du Jingyi were balancing the situation, so Tai Geer didn't show any signs of getting carried away.

On the contrary, Du Jingyi admired his rare and stable good temper.

He smiled even when he peed his pants, smiled when he gave him some sour fruit, and smiled when he accidentally knocked over the glass cup on the table, as if there was nothing to worry about in the world.

Once you read it, you can feel better no matter how bad your mood is.

On this day, Mrs. Du and Mr. Du came to the door, and sent people to bring many clever toys specially made for their grandson. They were all made of solid wood, polished to be gentle and not touchable.

The color is not colorful and exquisite, but has the gentleness of logs.

Brother Tai liked it very much as soon as he got started. He held it and talked non-stop.

Mrs. Du who was watching from the side was also happy and then said.

This thing was made by the master of your uncle Han's family. I heard it was an imported skill. I originally thought it was so simple that it wouldn't attract children's attention, but I never thought Brother Tai would like it so much.

The sister-in-law mentioned it casually when she saw Brother Tai having fun.

If we can make more styles, I'm afraid the women's circle in Sui'an City will compete to buy them again.

After she said this, Du Jingyi thought of a business.

Yan Zhiqing has also been traveling abroad for many days, and it is almost time to return to Jinling City. If he brings some rare and livable things from outside, there seems to be nothing wrong with him if he wants to enter the market for children of wealthy families.

She smiled happily, and others thought she was happy because her son liked this thing. Only Mrs. Du understood that her daughter must have thought of some ways to make money again, which is why she was so charming.

The mother and daughter looked at each other and smiled, everything had to be polished carefully.

The continuous heat of summer is coming, and after August, heavy and lively news hits Sui'an City.

The seventh prince married Miss Zhao as his concubine. Although it was not as grand and luxurious as the crown prince's appointment as a crown princess, it was still a rare occasion in Sui'an City.

It was also on this day that Du Jingyi finally met the rumored imperial concubine.

Early in the morning, people gathered at the entrance of the Seventh Prince's Mansion.

Most of them are children. Everyone is waiting because they know that there is a custom of spreading joy.

Sure enough, at the auspicious moment, the middle door of the prince's mansion opened wide.

All the servants inside had red silk wrapped around their waists, and they came out with festive faces. Some were rejoicing, and some were setting off firecrackers.

The leading seventh prince was also dressed in red, riding a high horse, and drove towards the Zhao family with the carriage and horses drawn by the eight horses.

Such a pomp was requested by the imperial concubine specifically for the seventh prince. Otherwise, given his status as a prince, he would only be able to use four to six horses, which would be enough.

Therefore, the chariot and horse driving seemed to be a show of respect for Mr. Zhao, but in fact it showed the imperial concubine's honor and favor, so that outsiders did not dare to underestimate her.

The wedding procession circled Sui'an City for an hour or two before returning to the prince's palace. Everything in the palace was taken care of by the fourth prince and his concubine.

His Majesty the Emperor and his concubine would not show up at the door to greet guests with dignity, so naturally it was the eldest brother, the fourth prince, who would host the ceremony, while the fourth prince's concubine would also greet the guests with smiles in the back house.

Today's General's Mansion was well attended.

Except for the fourth aunt, all the female relatives in the back house came, including the eldest sister-in-law Liu and the eighth sister Xue Niang.

Originally, the two of them didn't care whether they came or not, but the Guo family sent word that everyone would come together today, so they came together, thinking that they would just sit together and talk and have dinner.

Most of the people who came today were family members of party members headed by the fourth prince, as well as some neutral families who would not offend either side.

So when people like the Guo family and the Gu family appear on the table, they naturally attract everyone's attention.

At this time, the elder sister-in-law Liu realized why the Guo family had to go out of their way to communicate with them in advance. On such an occasion, they would either not come. If they came, there would be a lot of people, so they would not be at a disadvantage.

Therefore, when the Crown Princess appeared, she walked towards the female relatives of the Guo and Gu families with joy in her eyes, and did not feel any discomfort.

Gu Xiaolang had returned to Jinling City a long time ago, and the Crown Princess and the Earl's Palace also understood what Mrs. Gu meant, so they couldn't force her to come back no matter how much they liked her, so they slowly let go of their thoughts.

So when I saw him on such an occasion, he just nodded and didn't express his position too much.

On the contrary, the fourth prince concubine was surrounded by powerful family members, mainly Princess Yuehua, Princess Fu and Mrs. Wei, and they unconsciously showed an attitude of confronting each other.

He had all the names of the princess in mind, turned around and said to Du Jingyi.

I heard that in two months' time, Brother Tai, you will follow Mrs. Gu back to Jinling City to worship your ancestors?

Yes, Princess.

The journey is tiring, can Brother Tai bear it?

The child can eat and sleep, and he doesn't seem to be a tantrum, so it should be fine.

That's good. This child should be taken care of more carefully, otherwise it would be bad if someone takes advantage of it and causes some trouble.

The Crown Princess meant something, and when the Fourth Princess heard this, her eyes couldn't help but become sharp.

The trouble she was talking about came from the unsatisfactory days in the Fourth Prince's Mansion.

The fourth prince and the fourth prince's concubine have been married for several years, and they have a son at their knees. His body and bones are not very good. Now he is about three or four years old, but he is only as big as a two or three-year-old child.

Although the mind is precocious, the body and bones are not good enough.

So I have been serving him carefully these years. Who would have thought that he suddenly developed a high fever a few days ago. I have carefully checked my food intake, but I have not found anything inappropriate.

However, the fourth prince's residence was in turmoil for several days, with a thorough investigation from top to bottom.

Fortunately, the child was fine in the end, but after such a torment, he became a lot weaker, and even the fourth prince and his wife spent a lot of time taking care of him.

If she hadn't had to appear today, the fourth princess would not have been willing to go out.
