Rebirth of the High Gate Mistress

Chapter 408 I only have eyes for you

 In the deep palace, every majestic palace contains painstaking calculations.

In Yilan Hall, Qingluan was sitting in a daze looking at a pile of directories on his desk.

These lists were the marriage partners selected by the eldest princess and the old lady for her. The eldest princess still thought about her niece very much. She ordered people to compile a list of the princes from the aristocratic families in Beijing that she and the old lady were satisfied with, and ordered them to be sent to the palace. Show it to Qingluan and let her choose.

But Qingluan looked at them for several days, but didn't take a fancy to any of them.

Seeing that the master was about to become an old princess, even the maid Chao Lu couldn't help but worry for her. Chao Lu knew that her princess liked Li Ling, so she stepped forward and pointed to a young master in the list who was also a military general and said: "This The maidservant of the eldest son of the Duke of Jin is very suitable for a princess. You see, this eldest son is born with a handsome appearance. I heard that he is also good at martial arts. I heard that he made great achievements last time when he fought with General Zhou to fight against the Huns. General Zhou praised him as a rare general."

Qingluan looked at the portrait of the eldest son of the Duke of Jin in the list and snorted: "What a general, he is just a reckless man. He looks so stupid and makes me sick."

At the same time, Li Ling is the kind of tough appearance but not strong. Compared with Li Ling, the son of the Jin Dynasty is really not as handsome of Li Ling.

Chao Luxin looked through the directory with his hands and found the most handsome one among these men and pointed it out to Qingluan and said: "How about this young master from Nanyang Marquis Mansion? He is handsome and friendly, and he is from a third-level flower background. Now Working as an errand in the Imperial College, he is a truly talented man with a bright future."

Qingluan glanced at him lightly and said displeasedly: "I don't care what a grown man looks like with a playful smile."

Li Ling has a cold temperament and looks more masculine. This young master has a smiling face, which obviously does not meet the master's aesthetic taste.

Chaolu sighed slightly, then picked another one again, and said to Qingluan with a little surprise: "Princess, how about this Mr. Li? He is now the commander of Jinyiwei Zuoyi, in charge of Zhaoyuan, this Li Your Excellency is handsome and solemn, and makes people respect and love you just by looking at him. Princess, look at this, this is really good, slave, look at this."

Before Chao Lu could finish her words, Qing Luan interrupted her impatiently and said, "Aunt Huang really wants to trick me. Why would she give me such an executioner? Do you want me to come down to him and live a life of smelling blood every day?"

With that said, Qingluan pushed away the portrait that Chaolu pushed towards him, and shouted: "Take it away, take it away, I will have nightmares at night when I see such a person."

I don't like this one, and I don't like that one. The only person in the world who can win the favor of his own princess is the Li family son. He has a tendency to "fall flowers with intention, but flowing water is ruthless." The Li family son cares about his beloved wife and has no affection for the princess.

Chao Lu saw her princess looking depressed. She put down the list of young masters from aristocratic families, walked to the table, poured a cup of fragrant tea for her, and advised her earnestly: "Princess, I know that you can never let go in your heart." As for the eldest son of the Li family, we have tried all the methods we used, but unfortunately the eldest son of the Li family just refuses to look back. Why are you so miserable? Now, for the sake of the eldest princess, Your Majesty agrees to the government's intervention in your marriage. , if you don't take this opportunity to choose a good match for yourself, if you make the eldest princess lose her patience again, what will you do in the future?"

After hearing this, Qingluan smiled bitterly and said: "Grandma and the imperial aunt have no real plans for me. If they really do it for my own good, they should support me, divorce Mr. Shen, and allow me to marry My cousin is the serious one, and now in order to keep the Shen family, the government is threatening to sever ties with me, huh! All my close relatives are just bluffs."

As he spoke, Qingluan felt sad again and began to cry.

Seeing her like this, Chaolu felt anxious and patiently coaxed her: "Princess, don't get into trouble like this. The eldest princess has already ordered people to bring you many lists to choose from. If you continue to waste time like this, if you provoke The eldest princess has left it alone, but what should we do?"

Among the princesses in the palace, with Qingluan's treatment, they could choose their own husbands. Apart from Qingluan, there was no one else they could find. Qingluan, a princess who was not favored by Emperor Ming, was treated so favorably because of Li Ling's outstanding military achievements, Emperor Ming's intention to win over her, and because the eldest princess personally asked for mercy. Even the little maid Chaolu could understand this, but Qingluan, the most noble princess, couldn't figure it out clearly.

After Qingluan heard what Chaolu said, she replied with a smile: "Except for my cousin, I really can't look down on any man in the world."

As she said that, she took Chao Lu's hand and said, "The reason why my cousin doesn't want to marry me is that he is fascinated by Shen's appearance. But as the saying goes, 'A flower never blooms for a hundred days', that's why Shen will never marry again." She’s so charming, can she still live forever?”

Qingluan wiped her tears and murmured to herself: "I've thought about it, I'm going to wait like this. When the Shen family turns old, I don't believe that my cousin can still be in love with her like this, hum. ! We are direct cousins, and I am so infatuated with him. I don’t believe that even though Mrs. Shen has lost her beauty, my cousin still refuses to accept me."

When Chao Lu heard this, she didn't know how to persuade her anymore. Her princess was so stubborn that she went crazy. Chao Lu sighed slightly, stood up and collected the names of the young masters.

Li Ling, who Qingluan said was just greedy for Shen's beauty, had just finished telling a story to a pair of children. He coaxed the children to sleep and then entered the main room.

 His wife had just finished taking a bath and was sitting in front of the rhombus twirling her hair.

Li Ling strolled to his wife's side, took the towel from her hand naturally, and helped her dry her long hair bit by bit. Then he picked up the horn comb and gently helped his wife dry it. Thin hair.

Jingshu looked at Li Ling through the prism mirror, smiled and said jokingly: "Who can imagine that the cold and solemn General Li has such a gentle and carefree side in private."

Li Ling leaned over and kissed his wife deeply on her fragrant hair. He smiled at his wife in the mirror and replied, "Besides my daughter, you are the only woman in this world that I can treat so tenderly. .”

Jingshu turned her head and smiled at Li Ling.

This year, Jingshu is already twenty-four, and her greenness as a cardamom girl has faded away. Her current beauty is full of mature charm, which makes people even more admirable.

Li Ling stroked his wife's hibiscus-like face and murmured: "It's so beautiful, I can't get enough of it."

Jingshu smiled and said, "Maybe you won't say that in ten or twenty years."

 As the saying goes, it starts with appearance and ends with character. Li Ling was indeed attracted by Jingshu's beauty at first, but after getting along with him for so many years, everything about his wife is irreplaceable in Li Ling's eyes. She has become the most important part of his life and has become his habit. guard.

Li Ling looked at his wife lovingly and replied: "Not to mention ten or twenty years, even in another hundred years, I will still only have you in my eyes."

As he spoke, he picked up his wife and strode towards the bed.
