After I got into the drama, I led the plot astray

We returned to the main room and sat down one by one.

The more Du Feilong looked at Yi Ping, the more he liked her. He smiled and said, "When I go back, I will choose an auspicious day and hold a family recognition banquet. From now on, I will be the father of a daughter. Let's see who dares to laugh at me again."

Du Changfeng walked to his mother with a somewhat lost look on his face, asking for comfort and a hug, which made me almost unable to hold back my laughter.

Yingchun and several little maids brought tea, snacks, fruits, and then stood beside the guests to pour tea and serve water, looking very well-trained.

Madam Du was also very fond of Yingchun and the others. She patted Yiping's hand and said, "I didn't expect that these maids in the mansion have been taught by you to be well-behaved and polite to others. They have learned to manage the household at a young age. They are much better than mother at that time."

Yi Ping looked at Mrs. Du, then looked at me, and said, "This is all thanks to my second brother. I am just an assistant."

I didn't dare to speak. I couldn't tell them that this was a palace maid transferred from the palace by His Majesty, and that of course the etiquette must be carried out according to the highest standards.

Du Feilong laughed and said, "No problem. You can come to my house more often and let your mother teach you the art of household chores. No matter which family you marry into in the future, you will be a good manager."

Madam Du rolled her eyes at Du Feilong and said unhappily, "We don't have any elders to serve us, and we don't have any concubines to deal with. What are you trying to learn from me?"

Du Feilong laughed again and said, "I'll learn from you how to take good care of yourself and just be beautiful."

Du Changfeng was the first one who couldn't help but make a vomiting gesture, which made his father so angry that he glared at him fiercely.

Du Changfeng said: "Dad is fine if he is greasy at home, but he comes to someone else's house and is greasy. Don't you think it's disgusting?"

Du Feilong was about to get angry when a voice suddenly came from outside: "His Majesty has arrived."

Your Majesty is here?

Du Feilong was really frightened. He was just lazy and didn't attend the morning court one day, but His Majesty actually came here to arrest him?

Du Feilong stood up in panic. He was so scared that he turned around and kept rubbing his hands and said, "Is there a place for people to hide here? I can hide there first."

Madam Du grabbed Du Feilong's hand and said, "It's already this late. You're still thinking about hiding. If His Majesty finds you, you'll be charged with deceiving the emperor. We have to go out and greet him."

I have to say that Mrs. Du has a very calm mind. Mrs. Du and the lively Du Feilong are truly a match made in heaven.

As we walked to the front door of the main house, Zheng Xian had already climbed up the stairs.

Zheng Xian was stunned when he saw the group of people coming to greet him. He couldn't help but blurt out, "Lord Du, why are you here?"

Du Feilong said with a little embarrassment: "Your Majesty, I was just about to ask you, why did you come here?"

Zheng Xian said angrily: "This is my villa. Isn't it normal for me to come here? But you came here without my permission. Are you trying to spy on my whereabouts?"

Du Feilong was so embarrassed by this accusation that he fell to his knees and shouted, "I am innocent. I came here today to recognize my relatives."

"Recognize your relatives?" Now it was Zheng Xian's turn to be curious, and he couldn't help but ask, "Recognize what relatives?"

Du Feilong quickly replied, "Your Majesty, when Madam saw Yi Ping a few days ago, she liked her very much and said that she wanted to adopt her as her goddaughter. Today, I am here with Madam to discuss the matter of adopting her as my daughter."

Zheng Xian understood, nodded, and said, "I see. You two have good taste. I am also very happy about Yi Ping. Since you two want to adopt Yi Ping as your daughter, how about I be your witness at the recognition banquet?"

Not only Du Feilong and his wife were shocked, but I was also shocked.

Is Zheng Xian trying to elevate Yi Ping's status?

With the emperor as the witness, Du Feilong would certainly not dare to hold a too shabby reception. In this way, all the noble families in the capital would know of Yi Ping's existence. With the blessing of the emperor as a witness, her identity and status would naturally be improved, and she would surely marry into a good family in the future.

Besides, although Du Feilong is only a minister now, there is no one else available in the court, and he may be promoted to the Minister of War. The position of the Minister of War is two levels higher than Zhao Zhenyuan's. Yi Ping has become the daughter of the Shangshu Mansion. Even if Gui Lanting is given a hundred courages, she would not dare to persecute Yi Ping.

Du Feilong said in disbelief: "Your Majesty, you are not deceiving me, are you?"

Zheng Xian's eyes widened and he said, "I am the emperor, my words are my bond, how can I deceive you?"

Du Feilong looked at Zheng Xian's angry face and asked cautiously, "Your Majesty, if this is the case, how should we hold the engagement banquet?"

Zheng Xian waved his hand and said, "Of course it must be a grand banquet! Don't worry, my dear Du, I will pay for all the expenses of the banquet and I will also set the date. You just need to go back to the mansion and wait for the news."

Of course Du Feilong was worried. He didn't understand that he was just adopting a goddaughter, so what did it have to do with His Majesty?

Why should he help me with money and effort and be a witness?

Du Feilong was puzzled and was sent out of the courtyard by Wei Yi in a daze. Even the gifts they brought were carried out and placed at the gate.

Looking at the closed door, Du Feilong felt like he was in a dream and was kicked out before he even woke up.

Madam Du tugged at Du Feilong's sleeve and said, "Go back, Master. I never thought that this place was His Majesty's villa, and I never thought that Yi Ping would live in His Majesty's villa. They were both dressed in ordinary clothes, but I never thought that they were related to His Majesty. It was because I didn't ask clearly that I made a fool of myself, Master."

Du Feilong clapped his hands and said happily, "What a joke! Master Hui Jing said that this little girl Yi Ping has a noble fate, and it's true."

Mrs. Du asked in confusion, "What do you mean, Master?"

Du Feilong said, "Madam, you still don't understand. His Majesty said that this family recognition banquet should be held in a grand manner, and that all expenses will be paid by him, and he will personally be a witness. This is because His Majesty wants to tell the world that this girl's identity and status are extraordinary. We have become Ping's parents, so isn't this girl's blessing connected to us? If we have even a little bit of her glory, a large group of people will envy us to death.

Husband, hurry up, let's go back to the palace to prepare for the family recognition banquet. We must make sure that the family recognition banquet is known to the world and satisfy His Majesty. "

After Du Feilong finished speaking, he took Mrs. Du and left.

Although Madam Du did not agree with what Du Feilong said, His Majesty had already spoken. It was just a banquet, and he didn't have to spend his own money, so he could be as extravagant as he wanted. Anyway, the mansion hadn't held a banquet for many years, so now was the opportunity to hold a big one. It was exciting just thinking about it.
