The High Gate Mistress of Rebirth

Chapter 2 Back to the wedding day

Jing Shu was woken up by the sound of getting dressed. When she opened her eyes, she was actually lying in the bathtub, wearing only a pink bellyband, and her whole body was submerged in the water. Li Ling's back was turned to her.

Dressing.

What's going on? Li Ling clearly left her behind and went to the study last night.

A lot of water was spilled on the bathroom floor, and pajamas were scattered around, making it look a bit messy.

It looked like they had just experienced a happy event.

"When did you come back?" Jing Shu, her mind full of confusion, looked at Li Ling and asked in surprise.

Li Ling was already fully dressed. He turned around and replied, "What did you say?"

It was the face of a young man, slightly green but heroic.

It was when she first met him, or rather when she first married him.

What's going on? Is this a dream? Jingshu was full of doubts and pinched her thigh hard. The clear pain told her that this was definitely not a dream.

"I'm going to practice martial arts. You packed up earlier. You'll have to rush to the front to pay your grandma's birthday in a while." After that, Li Ling stepped out.

"Miss, I will help you get up." After a while, a familiar figure opened the shower curtain and walked in.

It was Ziyun, the eldest girl who was serving beside her.

Less than a year after Ziyun followed her into the Duke's Mansion, her mother became seriously ill, so she sent her home to take care of her mother. A year later, Ziyun's mother passed away, and she also reached the age of marriage.

, Jingshu rewarded her with a sum of money and let her get married.

"Why are you back?" Jingshu asked doubtfully.

"My slave has been keeping vigil outside. Why do you ask that?" Ziyun brought a bath towel and continued: "When I went out, I asked my slave to serve the young lady and clean it up quickly. Today is the old lady's sixtieth birthday. She will have breakfast soon."

Go to the front and wait for the guests."

Mrs. Li’s 60th birthday?

Wasn't that what happened just one month after she and Li Ling got married?

She clearly remembered that she had been married to Li Ling for five years, and her life was depressing, so she asked for a divorce. Now she actually went back to the time when she was newly married to Li Ling!!!

Jingshu was confused and a little at a loss for what to do.

Ziyun brought a bath towel to wipe her master's body: My young lady's body is so beautiful, her skin is so smooth that no water droplets can get on her, and her waist is softer than a wicker stick.

Even she, a woman, likes this body, let alone the vigorous prince. No wonder she keeps vigil outside every night and is always singing in the inner room? Seeing the faint red marks on Jingshu's body, Zi

Yun couldn't help but feel distressed: The young lady was born more delicate than a flower, and the uncle was so fierce that he demanded her every night. How could the young lady bear it?

"Miss, I'll have a bowl of bird's nest stewed in the kitchen later." Bird's nest nourishes yin and is the most nourishing.

After tidying up, Jingshu walked out of the bathroom in a daze and looked around the room. As expected, there were bright red words of "Happy" on the carved window lattice.

While tidying up the bed, Ziyun said: "When I was leaving, I asked my slave to tell the young lady that the Ninth Princess will be here for the birthday banquet today. I asked you to get up and go to his study to get the purple gold inkstone. I met the Ninth Princess today and asked you to

Give it to her."

It’s really the same as before!

In her previous life, she had just married into the Duke of Zhenguo's mansion, and she also caught up with the old lady's birthday party. That morning, Li Ling pestered her in bed for a long time before he gave up. Later, when she went to take a bath, she followed her in and pressed her in the bathtub again.

She asked for it once.

After she got up, Ziyun told her to go to the study to get the inkstone. The purple gold inkstone was very valuable, and Li Ling was so precious that he would not allow others to touch it. When she heard that he wanted to give it to Qingluan, she felt unhappy at the time, but

I don't dare to say too much.

Thinking about how many years she had spent with him in her previous life, when had he given her anything?

Jingshu came to the study in a depressed manner, picked up the square purple gold inkstone on Li Ling's desk, put it in her hand and looked at it back and forth.

This inkstone is made of fine purple gold, with two green pines vividly carved on it. There is a poem on the edge of the inkstone: Stick to the green mountains and never let go.

She was such a "stick to the mountains and never let go." Li Ling really had a deep affection for her.

Presumably, in his previous life, Li Ling was afraid of the conflict between men and women, so he couldn't give this gift to Qingluan in person, so he borrowed it from her and asked her, as his wife, to help him secretly give and receive it to his sweetheart!

Does Li Ling think she is a dead person? Does he care about her at all?

She was extremely stupid at that time, and she was obviously unhappy, but in order to please Li Ling, she deceived herself and explained to him: It is normal for a brother to give something to his sister, and don't ask for chicken intestines.

After Jingshu took the inkstone, she returned to Qingfeng Garden full of worries.

The little girl Danzhu came up to her and asked, "Miss, someone from the kitchen just sent a message saying that the bird's nest has been cooked. Can you prepare some shrimp cakes?"

"Didn't you just eat shrimp cakes yesterday? Why are you eating this again today?" Bilu pouted at the side.

"Miss, what you ate yesterday was sweet-scented osmanthus cake, and you were the one who ate shrimp cakes, you idiot." Danzhu tapped Bilui's little head.

"You always hit me on the head even though you know I'm confused. You hit me even more confused."

A few little girls were joking here when Li Ling came in.

He has to practice martial arts for an hour in the early morning. This is a habit that cannot be shaken by severe cold and hot weather.

The little girls immediately shut up obediently, bowed their heads one by one, frowned, and retreated respectfully.

Li Ling had a cold temperament, he was informal in his speech and laughter, and he was very disciplined, so his servants all looked down upon him.

This also has a good side, that is, she never worries about girls with evil intentions causing any drama of climbing into the bed. The girls in the house always walk around him when they see him, and if they can't avoid it, they stay two feet away from him. In his case

It's like a mouse has met a cat. He couldn't be more honest.

Li Ling entered the house, hung the green sword in his hand on the wall, and then went into the bathroom.

After waiting for a while, Jingshu did not follow him. He leaned out of the bathroom and said to her: "Come in!"

He also had many eccentricities. He didn't like having maids and maids to serve him personally. She took care of things like taking a bath after getting married.

Jingshu followed her into the bathroom. Li Ling had already taken off his martial arts attire and was waiting for her to come and wipe him with his sweaty upper body naked.

Jingshu didn't wake up from this incident for a while. She numbly took the wet towel from Li Ling's hand and wiped his back.

He is tall and tall, and he has been practicing martial arts all year round, so he has the arms and waist of a wasp and a very good figure.

Unfortunately, at the moment, Jingshu was fuming in her heart and had no intention of admiring this lively picture of a beautiful man. She just wiped it mechanically.

Li Ling saw that he was only focusing on one place and rubbing back and forth, so he turned around and took the towel from her hand, soaked it in the basin again, and handed it to Jingshu's hand again. Then he faced her and gently stretched his arms, signaling to her

Wipe the front.

He couldn't reach the back by himself, couldn't he handle the front by himself? Jingshu looked at him as he looked like he was used to being served by her, and thought depressedly: Apart from being more handsome, such a stinky man is not worth fighting for.

snatch away

"what you do?"

Jing Shu was wandering absentmindedly here. When she heard Li Ling calling her, she came back to her senses and saw that because she had just been distracted, the water dripping from the wet towel on her hand had already wet Li Ling's running pants.

Li Ling glanced at Jingshu who was distracted and said displeasedly: "Be more attentive."

He was picky when he wanted her to serve him. This was the problem she had picked up on him in his previous life!

Jing Shu stuffed the towel into Li Ling and said with a dull face: "I'm going to the front in a moment, I'll go and clean up first." After that, she left the bathroom without looking back.

Jingshu returned to the bedroom and called the little girls to come in and dress and put on makeup.

She sat in front of the mirror, looked at the beautiful face in the mirror, and compared it with the self that was later "tortured" to the point of being haggard, her heart was filled with endless changes.

Never mind Li Ling! What kind of rumors! And that Qingluan! Now that she has to do it again, she has to live well and live for herself.

In her last life, since she lost her boudoir and married into the Duke of Zhen's palace, she, who had always loved beauty, stopped dressing up. She wore clothes as old-fashioned as she wanted, and her hair accessories were as simple as possible. She was extremely afraid of the rumors at that time, and always wanted to wear them.

She was worried that if she dressed brightly, the rumors would be confirmed, others would laugh at her, and Li Ling would be embarrassed.

This time, she would not wrong herself again.

Li Ling felt a little unhappy when he saw Jingshu leaving him aside and going out on her own. His bride, who had always been gentle since she entered the house, actually showed off to him today. Could it be that in the past month of their marriage, her previous gentle demeanor had become

Pretended?

After Li Ling finished washing, he left the bathroom with a straight face. When he returned to the inner room and saw his wife, his eyes lit up.

Jingshu has already packed up. She is wearing a white floral skirt, covered with a crimson bra that is as bright as the morning glow. A green gauze belt is wrapped around her waist, outlining her graceful figure. Her black hair is as high as clouds.

She stands tall, with a nine-tailed red gold phoenix hairpin stuck diagonally in her bun. She has deep eyebrows and dark red lips.

The little woman descended to earth like a fairy, shining like a pearl, indescribably beautiful.

Except for seeing her dressed up on the wedding day, she has been dressing up in a low-key manner for the past month since her wedding. His bride is extremely beautiful, and even though she can't hide her beauty in plain clothes and simple make-up, she is still no more radiant than when she is dressed up.

"Come here and have breakfast, don't you have to rush to the front?" Jing Shu called.

Li Ling said "Yeah" and walked towards her.

The maid put breakfast on the table, and Jingshu and Li Ling sat down face to face at the dining table. Li Ling was accustomed to waiting for the bride to serve him soup and dishes, but he never thought that after Jingshu served his own portion, he started to use it himself.

Don't pay attention to him at all.

Li Ling felt displeased, and just as he was about to open his mouth to instruct her, he glanced at the beautiful hibiscus face that was as bright as a peach and plum but had a coldness to it. He swallowed back the words he was about to say, and filled the soup himself.

"You don't have to worry. You are the first to come to the mansion. Today, your sister-in-law will be waiting for the female guests. Just follow your grandmother." Li Ling thought that the bride was acting abnormally because she was nervous about having to wait for guests for a while.

Jing Shu snorted in her heart, it was rare that he would still have plans for her.

In her previous life, she had just married into the Duke of Zhenguo's palace, and it was the old lady's birthday. She was a new bride, and she was plagued by rumors. How uneasy was she? How could he give her any advice?

She was not familiar with anyone in the house at that time. She was neither the guest nor the host at the bustling banquet, and she felt as embarrassed as if she was being executed. The ladies looked at her coldly as if they were laughing. She, who had always wanted to be strong, was so embarrassed that she died of embarrassment.

The heart is there.

In the end, the elder sister-in-law Xu Wanning, who was busy organizing the birthday banquet, couldn't stand it and took her to the old lady's side.

At night, she cried in shame and grievance under the quilt. When he came back in the middle of the night and saw her like this, he actually asked her as if to blame: "Why are you crying on this big day?"

She felt aggrieved, but she didn't dare to complain to him. She was afraid that he would be angry, so she bit her lip and choked with sobs, saying it was because she missed home.

He didn't have the patience to ask any more questions, and went to bed just like before, just pestering her endlessly.

Now he comes to make arrangements for her, but she doesn't need it anymore!

After starting over, she figured it out. She didn't need to deliberately please anyone. She had never done anything untoward, and she didn't need to care about the deliberately slanderous rumors.

"Although I am a bride, I am also the wife of the crown prince. There is no reason why my sister-in-law should handle such a big event as my grandmother's birthday banquet alone while I hide behind it. I am just helping my sister-in-law to entertain the guests today."

This elder sister-in-law is Li Ling's cousin-in-law. Li Ling has four brothers, one cousin, one younger brother, and one half-brother.

Li Ling didn't expect that she would be so independent.

He put a piece of shrimp cake in Jingshu's bowl: "Okay, then you can follow my sister-in-law and let her help you."

"I have already fetched the purple gold inkstone for the Crown Prince and placed it on the small table on the couch in the outer room."

Li Ling took a sip of the soup and said calmly: "Well, I'm sorry to bother you. When Qingluan comes over today, just give her the inkstone."

Jingshu lowered her eyelids and replied coldly: "I'm sorry that I can't do it for you."

When Li Ling heard this, he paused, put down the soup bowl in his hand, and asked, "Why?"

Jing Shu replied with a dull face: "I am not familiar with her. If the prince wants to give her something, he can do it himself."

Li Ling: Madam, you are so beautiful!

Jingshu: Go aside!

Li Ling was stunned: Madam, where did I offend you?
