Chapter 264 Entering the Palace Together

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

　　　“Cherry, please send Dr. Wang out.”

 “Yes, young lady.”

The 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, so as not to cause trouble if something goes wrong."

“Young madam, do you doubt Wang Yizheng?”

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

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

“I have no doubts, but the more careful you are, the safer your child will be. From now on, you must be more careful with anything near the entrance. I don’t want to give birth to a child and have any accidents.”

 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 has to protect him from being bullied and plotted by others, so she has to send someone to carefully check everything he sends.

 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 really was nothing for her to worry about.

 You may 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 ten days since the couple last met, so when Shang Ji saw Du Jingyi again, he felt as if her belly had grown again.

The heat from the fresh wash was still rising from his body, and his whole body was extremely refreshing. After he carefully helped Du Jingyi sit down, he said.

"I have already written to Your Majesty. In ten days, please stay at home with you until the child is born."

 “Tenth? Is it too early?”

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

Hearing this, Shang Ji smiled.

"It doesn't matter, even if I can't take such a long break, I can find a way."

"any solution?"

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

 “You will know when the time comes.”

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

"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."

"Can I go even if I haven't been summoned by the Queen?"

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

"Grandma is the royal 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 a royal decree, 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 slight smile.

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

“Well, when the baby lands, he also needs to be given 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 about it for a while. It was a matter of children and husband. She still wanted to go with her to 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 thank you."

Shang Ji took a look at her condition and found that there was no difficulty in walking. There was also 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 hasn't seen the Queen since she went north, so she should pay her a visit.

Hence, everyone in the General's Mansion is preparing to enter the palace, but in the Duke's Mansion, Mrs. Wei has 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 families had sleepless nights.

 So much so that as soon as it dawned, some people went to the gate of the Gongyuan to wait for the release of the results.

 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 a fire.

I was both looking forward to the results, but also worried about failing. After sighing two or three times in succession, I woke up Du Jingxiang beside me.

Seeing her looking at her husband sleepily, 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 pass high school."

Du Jingxiang's relief made He Shilin feel even more unspeakably entangled, fearing that he would really fail the exam and how he would let his family down.

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

Not long after the couple got up, news came from Mingse Courtyard that the carriage 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 take the test again next year. There is no need to be too stressed.”

“What my father-in-law said is that my son-in-law is not nervous.”
