Chapter 521 Tripod

However, to be honest, Du Jingyi was a little surprised that Concubine Zhen's mother-in-law had taken away the fat. After thinking about it, she could guess what the emperor meant.

Supporting some families that are not that outstanding to come into power must be completely devoted to him, and the past three years of his husband Ding You can be said to be the best time.

In three years, even a fool would be able to make arrangements for the Gyeonggi Department. Therefore, in the future, the Gyeonggi Department will be a sharp weapon in the hands of the emperor, there is no doubt!

Thinking of this, Du Jingyi's mood after drinking today has calmed down a bit. He is afraid that this kind of thing will happen more and more in the future, but he doesn't know that his general will have countermeasures.

Seeing that she was a little stunned, Xue Niang called out softly.

"Sixth sister-in-law, what's wrong?"

"nothing."

She refused to say more, and Xue Niang did not force her. However, her sister-in-law, Mrs. Liu, calmed down and looked at Du Jingyi with a bit more worry.

The children's full-moon banquet was very simple. They just ate the banquet presented by the Queen Mother and then dispersed. On the way back, Gu Shaoyu and Du Jingyi specially sent Ping'er and his sister-in-law off and explained a lot of things.

"Ping'er has just taken up the position of Duke. He is young and has no qualifications, so everything should be planned. Once the autumn draft is over, the national mourning will fade away. You can go to Li's house more often. Walk around and be active.

The Li family is the home of Ping'er's future father-in-law. All the civil servants and military officers in the family are promising, and it is a prosperous family. Therefore, there are many relatives and friends. Instead of focusing on other places, it is better to take advantage of Li. The foundation of the family is spread, and it can also make Mr. Li proud.

After all, the future son-in-law is the Duke of the country, and once his daughter gets married, she will be the wife of the Duke of the country who is in charge of the family. This is a great honor.

Even though the foundation of the Duke's Mansion is now a bit poor, with Gu Shaoyu, his sixth uncle, covering his head in Sui'an City, his life will not be difficult.

Therefore, Ping'er nodded and said that he understood, while the sister-in-law Liu on the side said with some worry.

"But in this way, doesn't it make people think that the Duke's Palace is siding with the Li family? Don't forget, the second young lady of the Li family is going to be sent to the palace. Although the fourth concubine's position is available, but Is it difficult for you to say that she is not a concubine, or even a noble concubine? "

These days, she can still see the calculations of the harem forces. The queen of the Yan family and the noble concubine of the Xing family all want to win over Gu Shaoyu, their great backer.

It's Ding You now, so he can postpone the news for a while, but it will end eventually. When he returns to the court, he will know that it will be the focus of contention between the two parties. If another Li family comes, the sister-in-law Liu will not even know about it. Young Master Gu What should Yu do?

Hearing this, Gu Shaoyu gave a rare smile and said with relief.

"Sister-in-law, don't worry. Even if the Li family doesn't show up, there will always be Zhang family and Wang family who want to compete. In this position, I will be watched by many people."

This was true, but even so, the sister-in-law still didn't want to embarrass the couple, but Du Jingyi answered the question quickly and said it hurriedly.

"Sister-in-law, don't be anxious. The situation has been decided now. It's hard to say what you are worrying about twenty or thirty years from now. I don't know what will happen by then. So don't worry in advance about what may happen in the future. This is Grandma Guo's comfort to me. What about.”

"She also knows about it?"

"nature."

When the Guo family was mentioned, Mrs. Liu's sister-in-law felt a little relieved, thinking that even someone like her who was very talkative in the back house was so relieved, and there was really no need to worry about this matter now.

After sending their mother and son back to the Duke's Mansion, the couple were quite calm when they left. However, after getting on the carriage, Du Jingyi told the news he had learned from Xue Niang today. Unexpectedly, Gu Shaoyu was not surprise.

"I knew about this two days ago. Concubine Zhen is pregnant, which has taken away a lot of Concubine Xing's love. Therefore, the Xing family is also putting pressure on Xing Zhao. Don't you see that he has been leaving early and coming home late these days? ?”

"The Xing family is putting pressure on Cousin Zhao? What are they going to do?"

"Of course he was ordered to secretly make friends with the sons of powerful people and help Concubine Xing when necessary. However, the emperor is now in his prime and the princes are not emerging, so most of them are pretending to be confused."

Du Jingyi couldn't help but sigh when he heard this.

"Pity these children, they have no brotherhood before they are born. They will be competitors in the future, and they may even have to fight swords with each other and blood will flow like rivers."

"The imperial family has always been ruthless. I can only blame them for being reincarnated in this rich and wealthy place. However, if you can let go of your obsessions and become a leisurely prince or something, it might not be a bad thing."

The carriages and horses were swaying towards the general's mansion, and it was still bustling outside.

A few days later.

It was the second birthday of the three brothers, and they couldn't celebrate this day with any fanfare, so they just had a reunion dinner as a family, just like when they celebrated Brother Tai's birthday, but this time there were more Xing Zhao and Xia Meng. That’s all.

Although the three brothers' birthdays were celebrated together, each had their own birthday gift. Not to mention the others, Xia Meng prepared a jigsaw puzzle for each of the three children.

"I don't have that much money, so I can't afford to give away gold or jade, but after I drew the picture, I asked Xing Zhao to find someone to make it for me. It is educational for children. You can try it."

The children took it and it was the first time they had seen such a thing. They all poured out in a rush. When they wanted to put it back in, they were powerless, so they were very focused. Du Jingyi and Gu Shaoyu took a look at it from the side and were a little surprised.

"The color is beautiful and the size is right. Miss Xia, thank you for your trouble."

"You're welcome. After all, they are the children I delivered, so it's reasonable to give them gifts."

As they were talking, they saw someone coming in.

"What a good thing, let the fourth grandmother see it too."

Hearing this hearty voice, everyone turned around to see that it was indeed the fourth aunt and Lizhu who had returned from a long journey.

Du Jingyi hurriedly got up to greet them, and Tai Ge'er followed her.

"Why didn't you send me a message in advance when Fourth Aunt is coming? I could have sent someone to pick you up."

"Do I need you to pick me up when I go back home? Isn't this too distant?"

That's true, but Du Jingyi always felt a little rude, so he quickly pulled her in, and then looked at Li Zhu behind him. Seeing that she was a little tanned after going out with him, he felt a little distressed.

But there was a lot more open-mindedness and brightness in her eyes, which was something she didn't have when she was a maid in the mansion, so Du Jingyi also sincerely felt that letting Li Zhu follow Fourth Aunt was the right decision. (End of this chapter)
