MTL - My Stepmother is Soft and Charming-Chapter 311 Meet the emperor and empress

 “Your Majesty, Gu Shaoyu, wishes to see you, long live my emperor.”

“My wife Gu Mensu (Gu Mendu) has met Your Majesty and wishes His Majesty to pay your respects.”

 The three of them knelt down in front of the emperor in unison, with a respectful attitude.

 At this moment, the emperor who was sitting was also in a rare good mood and was in good spirits, and said to the three of them.

 “Pingshen Pingshen.”

 “Thank you, Your Majesty.”

 “But are you all ready to go south?”

“Yes, Your Majesty, that’s why I brought my grandmother and wife here today to ask for my resignation. I hope your Majesty will give me your permission.”

"Hmph, I succeeded in calling you a kid, didn't I? I remember that Mr. Guo once said that you resembled Marshal Gu and cared more about his family. Now you have really become Gu Shaoyu, right? Your name is Be prepared quickly.”

"Your Majesty, Shao Yu was the diminutive name given to me by my grandfather during his lifetime, so I changed my surname to it and used it. Please forgive me, Your Majesty."

"Forgive me? Huh! If you don't be angry with me, if you make me happy, everything will be fine."

 “I obey the decree.”

Du Jingyi lowered his head respectfully and kept listening to the conversation between His Majesty the Emperor and his husband. It must be said that the relationship between the two sounded good. The emperor did not have the so-called power and prestige, and he treated his husband more like an elder.

 This point coincides with the time when she met Queen Guo before.

But she also knew that the emperor's heart was deep in his heart. The emperor could treat you as a junior and pamper and love you, but you must never treat your majesty as an elder. Instead, you must always remember that he is a king, and he should be humble, respectful, and submissive. It cannot be crossed.

 “How is the old lady’s health?”

 “Thank you for your concern, Your Majesty. Everything is fine with me.”

"That's good. Marshal Gu died for the country and left you alone as a widow. Naturally, I have to take good care of you. I have already ordered the Inner Chamber to ask them to prepare some things. You can take them with you when you leave the palace. , it can be regarded as a little bit of my thoughts.”

 “I thank your majesty for your gift, and everyone in the Gu family shares the blessing.”

After saying this, the three of them bowed down to give thanks.

　　The emperor then focused his eyes on Du Jingyi and said lightly.

"I remember that when Shaoyu returned to the court to hold a palace banquet, you didn't come. Is it because you were feeling unwell?"

Mr. Guo and Mrs. Wei dug a hole for her, and now she has to fill it.

"Your Majesty, my wife was indeed a little unwell at the time, but she has recovered well later. Thank you for your concern."

"Well, that's good. Now that Shaoyu has a son at his knees, which is a little less, your body looks pretty good. You should be the one who takes care of the family and spread the branches and leaves for Shaoyu."

 “My wife understands.”

"There are two pretty good maids in charge of the palace. Now it's time to let them out of the palace. How about I give Shao Yu a job to follow you around and be a servant, so that you can relax a little bit? ?”

Du Jingyi never expected that after four years of marriage, she and her husband had never had any harem disputes or troubles with concubines. Who would have thought that the first person to ask her husband to take a concubine would be the current emperor.

She was really caught off guard. Before she could speak, Gu Shaoyu stood up and spoke sternly to the emperor. "I would like to thank Your Majesty for your kindness. However, my mother was depressed and unhappy due to the affairs in the back house and died of illness at an early age. At that time, I swore that a good wife would be enough for the back house. It is God's blessing to spread the branches and leaves in the back house. I don't think so. If you dare to ask more, now that Yun Zhan is here, you will be more comforted, so please rest assured, Your Majesty."

Shang Ji reacted quickly, and hurriedly used the reason for his mother's death to explain that he did not want to take a concubine and cause a dispute over the back house. He believed that the emperor must know the current situation of the Duke's Palace and the General's Palace, so starting from here, it would be possible to make things happen. The emperor relaxed his guard.

 After he finished speaking, the emperor did not answer. Instead, he laughed a few times and said.

"These two palace maids were personally taught by Empress Guo. They are not arrogant people, and they are both rare good-looking men. If they can enter the palace to serve you, I don't think it will take three years for the family to be in trouble. Now we can have children in groups, isn’t that a good thing?”

Hearing this, Shang Ji frowned. Du Jingyi didn't want his husband and the emperor to argue over this matter. Just when he was thinking about whether to accept it, Mrs. Gu spoke up.

"Your Majesty is kind-hearted. He also sees that my Gu family is lonely and wants to see the excitement of the past as soon as possible. Shao Yu, please don't refuse me anymore."

 “Grandma…”

Shang Ji thought that his grandmother was going to agree for him, so he wanted to refuse when he opened his mouth, but the next second, Mrs. Gu said.

"Every member of the Gu family died for the country. In addition to the old man, there are several daughters-in-law who are all empty-handed, especially the elder's family and the second family. They have been in the Gu family for decades. If you call them, look at Shao Yu. The family is lively, and I feel sorry for myself, so Your Majesty is kind-hearted to take care of my family. Why don't you give these two palace maids as daughters, change the surname to Gu, and recruit sons-in-law to come to the house in the future? If you give birth to a child, he will also be a descendant of my Gu family. This is also the case. What do you think, Your Majesty, that we can recreate the excitement of the past?"

Mrs. Gu is quite capable of counter-generalizing an army.

Not only did he not refuse His Majesty the Emperor's kindness, he was able to successfully move the matter away from the two of them. At the same time, they also found a "monitor" person for each of them to watch.

If they are really good, then of course they should stay in the house, and they will be provided with food and clothing. But if they have other intentions, then they have many ways to make them disappear without anyone noticing.

 After Shang Ji heard Mrs. Gu's words, he immediately knelt down and said sincerely.

"I would like to welcome you two into the Gu family as sisters. From now on, you will become members of the Gu family. Their children will also be descendants of the Gu family. They should be included in the genealogy and enjoy the inheritance."

As soon as these words came out of his mouth, Du Jingyi was also surprised.

Being included in the genealogy and enjoying heirship means that all the people in the Gu family can inherit and share it. They are truly the Gu family.

After a moment of silence, the emperor laughed heartily.

"Okay, what Mrs. Gu said makes sense, so let's give these two people the surname Gu. I remember that your generation is from the Xiao generation, right?"

“Your Majesty, yes.”

“Then let’s give them names like Gu Xiaochun and Gu Xiaoyun. Spring sounds like spring. I also hope that the Gu family can welcome spring again.”

 “Thank you, Your Majesty, for the name!”

After the three people kowtowed respectfully again, they stood up, chatted with the emperor for a few words, then retired, and went straight to Queen Guo's Changchun Palace.

Du Jingyi whispered gratefully into Mrs. Gu's ear as she helped her down the steps.

“Thank you, grandma, for taking care of my grandson’s daughter-in-law’s worries. My granddaughter-in-law doesn’t know what to say.”

Mrs. Gu smiled and patted the back of her hand, and then whispered.

"Our sons of the Gu family have not taken concubines. From now on, you are the only one who will accompany Shao Yu to enjoy the incense of the Gu family. Don't worry."
