Rebirth of the High Gate Mistress

 After breakfast on the second day, Xu Wanning invited a familiar official mediator to stay in the room and told her, "The marriage of our eldest son will cost you a lot of trouble."

The matchmaker smiled and said: "Madam, you are so polite. Who in the capital doesn't know the reputation of the Duke's son? To be honest, the girl from the Liu family is really blessed to have cultivated for eight lifetimes to be chosen by you."

Xu Wanning said: "Mother-in-law, please don't say that. You have never seen that girl from the Liu family. Not only is she pretty, but her temperament is also indescribable. How many high-ranking officials in Beijing are keeping an eye on this child. Once this child leaves the palace, people will come to propose marriage." You have to cross the threshold, hey! I am also close to the water, and I knew that there would be no one in the palace, so I acted first."

The two of them were talking about the matchmaking for Brother Kun in the room. There was a call from outside that the mother-in-law came in and said happily: "Madam, the eldest young master is back."

When Xu Wanning heard that her son had returned, she was so surprised that she stood up immediately: "Why are you coming back today? Didn't you say you have to wait a few more days? Where is my son?"

The mother-in-law replied: "It was said that the journey was going smoothly, so I advanced a few days, and now all the young masters have entered."

“Quickly, please invite my son here.” Xu Wanning was so surprised that she could not speak coherently. Although she ordered someone to invite her son over, she could not help but move out to greet him.

As soon as Xu Wanning walked to the corridor, she saw Brother Kun striding into the courtyard.

He has an upright posture and is wearing armor. Although he has returned from travel, he looks full of vitality.

 A noble son with a youthful spirit.

 Looking at it makes people feel happy.

Xu Wanning looked at her son coming towards her and was so happy that she burst into tears. The matchmaker standing beside her glanced at the young man who was as tall as a pine tree and couldn't help but murmured: "It is said that the eldest son of the Duke is unparalleled in his handsomeness. Today, Once I saw it, it really opened my eyes."

Li Kun walked up and saluted Xu Wanning: "Mother, I'm back."

 Xu Wanning happily pulled her son over and introduced, "This is Granny Wang."

Li Kun didn't know the origin of this mother-in-law, so she politely said hello when her mother mentioned it. Mrs. Wang couldn't help but look Li Kun up and down again, and said to Xu Wanning with a smile: "The eldest son is so talented, my wife is really lucky."

 “Just don’t worry about the things you’ve entrusted me to do.”

Xu Wanning winked at Granny Wang and said, "If that's the case, I'll bother you."

 Xu Wanning ordered someone to bring a big purse, and ordered the steward to send Mrs. Wang out of the house. After entering the house, Li Kun couldn't help but ask: "Where did this mother-in-law come from? I saw that my mother seemed to be very close to her."

Xu Wanning smiled and said: "This woman is an official matchmaker. Mother invited her here to propose marriage to you."

Various vassal kings came to the capital to pay tribute. At this time, Li Ling and Jing Shu were also very busy.

Last night, Jingshu accompanied Li Ling to summon the ministers who came to Beijing for an audience, and went to bed very late. In the early morning, Li Ling went to court in high spirits as usual, but Jingshu couldn't get up.

　　When she woke up, it was already three o'clock in the morning.

Jingshu held her forehead and said angrily to the palace attendant: "Why didn't you wake me up earlier?"

The palace servant replied: "When your Majesty left, he specifically told the servants not to wake up the empress." Jing Shu had no choice but to say: "I have a lot of things to do today. It's already this hour. Is there no one in charge?"

The palace servant replied: "Your Majesty said that the queen will not be tired, and all the people in charge who came and went to report were sent away by Sister Ziyun."

Just as he was talking, Ziyun slowly walked in. When Jingshu saw her, she couldn't help complaining: "Don't you know that it's a busy time now? Why don't you send all the people in charge away?"

Ziyun smiled and said: "Your Majesty has a destiny before he leaves. Even if the sky falls, he will not disturb you. How can I dare to let anyone in?"

Jingshu glared at Ziyun: "I've already made you the county leader, why can't you change your words?"

Ziyun stood up while serving Jingshu, and replied: "No matter how much honor you give me, I am still your queen's slave."

Jing Shu replied: "You have a family now, so you still have to put your family affairs first. I know you don't want to leave. If you want to stay here, you can come back and visit at any time. You will be detained here all day." , I’m afraid that Dr. Wen will have complaints against me.”

Ziyun quickly put on Jingshu's gorgeous clothes and replied: "I made it clear to him before we got married that I have to stay with you even after we get married. He has already agreed. This is my How can he blame the empress for his own ideas?"

"I really don't know what you are thinking." Jing Shu sighed helplessly: "That's all, I know you are stubborn, and I don't bother to persuade you any more. I will ask the people in charge to come over in a while. There will be a banquet with all the ministers in the palace soon, and I have to make decisions on many things."

Ziyun served Jingshu and dressed neatly, then called Dongqing to come in and write down the matters discussed by the queen at the meeting. Jingshu saw that Dongqing looked abnormal and her eyes were red and swollen, and asked with concern: "What's going on? But I've suffered. What's wrong with you?"

Jingshu has always loved Dongqing, and this child is Xu Wanning's chosen daughter-in-law, so Jingshu inevitably has to love her more.

Dong Qing hesitated again and again, knelt down in front of Jingshu, and said with tears in her eyes: "Your Majesty, I don't want to leave the palace, let alone get married, so I ask your Majesty to make the decision for me."

 After this year, Dong Qing will have her haircut, and Xu Wanning has already proposed marriage to Li Kun to the Liu family. With a family as prominent as the Duke's, and Li Kun being a talented person, the Liu family is naturally willing.

 So, not long ago, Mrs. Liu sent a message to the palace, requesting that Liu Dongqing be released from the palace.

Jingshu helped Dong Qing up, wiped away her tears herself, and said slowly: "Silly boy, since your family has found a good match for you, you should go back. Although this palace is full of flowers, after all, This is not your destination for the rest of your life.”

When she saw Dong Qing bit her lip and said nothing, Jing Shu said directly: "You are still young, and some things cannot be seen clearly. The women in this palace are like flowers, growing one after another, but there is only one emperor, so instead of being with A group of women competing for the emperor's favor is more realistic than finding a husband who can be with you for the rest of your life."

"Don't forget that I am the only one beside His Majesty today, but His Majesty is just a special case. When the Crown Prince ascends the throne in the future, he may not be able to do what his father did. Even if he has this idea, the ministers may not tolerate it. After all, He has been established as the crown prince since he was a child, and he is different from His Majesty."

Dongqing has been with Jingshu for more than half a year. This most noble woman in the world is originally out of reach of most people, but Jingshu has a gentle and meticulous temperament and is good at understanding people's hearts, but she always makes people want to Get close to her.

In the eyes of the little girl Dongqing, Jingshu is not only a high-ranking queen, but also a kind and gentle being like her mother.

  She could hide herself from anyone, but in front of Jingshu, she opened her heart involuntarily.

She looked at Jingshu and said with tears in her eyes: "Mother, I understand everything you said, but I can't control my heart."
