My Stepmother is Soft and Charming

good.

After that, the cherry came up and helped Du Jingyi to take a bath.

After soaking in the hot water, her whole body became relaxed. Now that a big event has been settled, her only hope is that she can expect her husband to return during this year's New Year.

But this matter is not something she can control. What she can do is to do what her husband told her in the letter.

In the days that followed, the annual gifts were given out one after another.

After receiving the gift, it was natural to return it, so the general's mansion became lively with people coming and going in advance.

The contact of the contact, the confirmation of the confirmation.

After the winter lunar month and entering the twelfth lunar month, people on the list made arrangements one after another, so many people and things moved towards Binzhou in a subtle way.

These people have been working for decades, so what they lack most is patience and the ability to remain calm. Therefore, not to mention King Bin, even the emperor did not notice much.

Just as their people were heading to Fenzhou, princes from various fiefdoms came to Sui'an City with their families. Four princes got married in a row, and the marriage partners were noble ladies from the court, so it was lively , there will definitely be trouble for half a month.

The marriage of the eldest prince and the third prince is scheduled to take place on the sixth and ninth day of the twelfth lunar month. Both days are very auspicious. With the empress personally taking charge, no one in the inner court department dares to be careless in the slightest.

Everything like a sea was sent to the two princes' mansions. Although the Earl's Mansion was reprimanded a few times by the emperor, at this time, it was also the day when they played the leading role, so they naturally helped and made the event lively outside.

Especially for the eldest prince, the third day after getting married was Laba porridge. The couple personally cooked a bowl of Laba porridge and delivered it to the emperor, which made Long Yan very happy.

Not to mention the continuous rewards, the most important thing is to give the eldest prince the title of the first prince of the dynasty.

After the title of Prince Rong was given, he was immediately no longer on an equal footing with his other brothers, and the forces that secretly helped the eldest prince also grew stronger and gradually became a force that cannot be underestimated in the court. .

For Queen Yan and the Earl's Mansion, this was a matter of laughter from ear to ear.

The queen's party has benefited a lot. In comparison, the cost of getting married to the second and fourth princes is three times lower.

But fortunately, the Ling family and the Zeng family are both well-off families. Now that the marriage has been decided, they will naturally not let their daughters get married hastily.

So speaking of it, it can't compare to Princess Rong's red dowry of Fengguo Gong's family, but it is still a pile of one hundred and twenty-eight tons of dowry.

On the wedding day, they were all sent to the residences of the two princes.

Concubine Hui, the eldest princess, and the second princess all asked for grace and came out of the palace to congratulate them. Although the emperor was not present, he still had two specially made gold and jade handles sent to him. The queen also sent someone to send a brocade of hundreds of sons and thousands of blessings. Being quilted can be regarded as a complete feast.

Before the firecrackers on the street could be swept away, the next one started again.

This year, the happiest thing in Sui'an City was the children who picked up lucky money. Some of them were smart and diligent, and even got some scattered silver. Together, it was enough for the whole family to live a good life for the first half of the year.

Therefore, everyone is looking forward to such happy events every year.

But the one who was well-informed said with a smile.

These four princes were all raised by His Majesty when he was in the East Palace. The remaining princes were all born after His Majesty ascended the throne. They have to wait until they get married. It will be more than ten years later at least. When the time comes, they will pick up the money. It’s not you, it’s your children.”

new

The words made all the people watching happy, and the flavor of the new year became more and more intense.

Now that the Crown Prince is back, Du Jingyi naturally has to find a way to get in touch with him. Even if he has to make his attitude clear immediately, a better relationship will always be beneficial to things later.

However, with her status, it was really inappropriate to rashly contact a prince. Just when she was thinking of finding some way to contact him, the opportunity came to her door.

General's Mansion, in Xitang Courtyard.

Du Jingyi looked at the banquet invitation in the Xing family's main room and said with a raised corner of his mouth.

Our Majesty is really good at weighing things up. In the past few days, he gave the empress and others a lot of status and attitude through the marriage arrangements of the four princes. Now he takes the opportunity of the New Year to directly ennoble the concubine as the emperor. The noble concubine has given the Xing family some more opportunities and hopes. This status, let alone this dynasty, has not had this honor even in the past two dynasties. No wonder your uncle's family is rushing to have a banquet. Who will get such a good thing? There has to be a celebration at home.”

My cousin is smart and hits the point right away.

Xing Zhao took a sip of tea. This post was sent to him specially, so of course he wanted to leave it to talk to Du Jingyi.

Before I came back, my cousin specifically asked us to sort out all the relationships in Sui'an City. When the prince leaves, we will give him a big gift. I have inquired about it. They all have to celebrate the New Year. I didn’t go back until February or March, so there was more than enough time. Originally, I thought of inviting the prince here as a treat, but now this gives us a good excuse!

Du Jingyi knew exactly what this gift was.

However, if such a thing is delivered to the prince, he will probably be a little frightened.

Your eldest uncle is holding a banquet in the name of the imperial concubine. We will use this banquet to establish contact with the prince. If your eldest uncle finds out in the future, you may not get any good results.

With my uncle's big heart, even if the Seventh Prince is really put on the throne, I won't have any good fruits to eat. Anyway, the result will be the same. I might as well follow my cousin. At least you can still control me. It’s time to eat, right?”

Hearing this, Du Jingyi also smiled. Xing Zhao is really capable and can always say something that makes people feel comfortable.

Originally, this matter was an adventurous thing that their General Mansion wanted to do. Bringing in more people would bring more danger. However, Xing Zhao was not afraid and just got involved. Therefore, this friendship, Gu Shaoyu He and Du Jingyi naturally have to remember it.

Du Jingyi smiled, picked up the tea next to him, put it in front of him, and said.

Don't worry, I won't starve you!

Looking at each other and smiling, the two of them were full of expectations for the future. Regarding the matter of getting in touch with the prince, they talked for a while and then parted ways.

Three days later, the Xing family's main room was filled with guests.

The people in the third room of the Xing family also had to participate and join in the banquet.

Aunt Xing was a little reluctant, so she only stood and talked with Du Jingyi and the Gu family most of the time. But Mrs. Xing was different. She walked around everywhere and listened to the congratulations coming and going. His smile never dropped.
