The High Gate Mistress of Rebirth

Chapter 21 Let me catch a fish for you

Li Ling left Yasongju with Jingshu and headed towards the lake shore.

The steward in charge of the lake had already died, and had already had the boat moved from the lake to the shore.

Li Ling helped Jingshu get on the boat.

The woman who was punting the boat had seen the handsome prince before, but this was the first time she met the prince's wife.

She only glanced at Jingshu and was stunned.

Most of the people they serve here are from the palace, and this boatwoman is no exception. Although she was a rough maid in the palace before, she has been in the palace for half her life, and there are all kinds of beauties.

I've seen countless.

But nothing is more stunning than the Crown Prince's wife in front of him.

This little woman was born, it is not an exaggeration to say that she is the mysterious goddess of the Nine Heavens descending to earth.

"There is no need for service here, just go down." Li Ling ordered the boatwoman.

Only then did the boatwoman come back to her senses. She quickly moved her eyes away from Jingshu and said with fear, "I have been ordered to serve the good prince and his wife."

Li Ling took the bamboo pole used to punt the boat and said, "I know how to punt the boat, so you can do it yourself."

The woman hurriedly argued: "Let me do this kind of work." As she said this, her eyes were still looking at the "fairy" standing on the bow of the boat.

Li Ling stood on the bow of the boat, saying nothing, but his eyes turned cold when he looked at the woman.

When the mother-in-law saw that the prince looked unkind, she let go and replied with a smile: "Since the prince does not need my service, I will go down."

After saying that, the woman walked calmly under the boat. When she was about to land, she still couldn't help but look at Jing Shu.

Such a beauty, the more I look at it, the more I want to see it, and I can't get enough of it.

But the prince didn't let her serve on the boat, otherwise she would have to feast her eyes on it. She was muttering to herself that the boatwoman accidentally tripped over the side of the boat when she got off the boat.

Jing Shu hurriedly called out: "Mother-in-law, be careful!"

After listening to Jingshu's reminder, the woman quickly grabbed the mast and staggered without falling.

She looked at Jing Shu in shock, her face turned into a chrysanthemum smile, and she hurriedly replied: "Thank you, Madam, for reminding me, Madam Xie for reminding me."

"Mother-in-law, you're welcome." Jingshu smiled at her.

She looks like a fairy, her voice is better than that of an oriole, and she is so kind-hearted.

Such a "fairy" is really rare.

After the fish woman landed, she still couldn't help but look towards the boat.

It was a pity that Li Ling saw her leaving the boat, so he opened the boat and blocked the tall body in front of the fairy, blocking her tightly.

She couldn't take another look at it.

This boat is exquisitely built and extremely stable. Because it is a new boat, you can still smell the faint scent of wood when sitting on the bow.

The water of the lake is crystal clear, and the boat moves slowly on the sparkling lake. The various fish in the lake are used to being fed by people, and they rush to follow the boat.

Jing Shu sat on the bow of the boat, looking at the rippling blue water of the lake, and suddenly remembered that she and Li Ling first met in the water.

During the Dragon Boat Festival that year, she and her father, stepmother, siblings, took a boat trip on the lake together. She was pulled by her sister on the bow of the boat to watch the fish. Unexpectedly, the railing of the boat came loose and her sister almost fell into the water. She grabbed her sister quickly with her hands and eyes.

, unexpectedly, he fell into the water.

She didn't know how to swim, so she was panicking and struggling in the water. She vaguely saw someone swimming toward her, and then she was tightly hugged by a strong arm and half-lifted out of the water. She gasped for breath.

After getting angry and risking his life, he realized that the person holding him was a man. In a panic, his arms were wrapped around his neck.

He quickly let go of his hand, but his heart felt like it was falling into an ice cave.

She was rescued by a man like this.

Her reputation!

She is a well-known lady in Chang'an City. After such a thing, how will she live in the future?

She was only sixteen years old, and her life was completely over because of this accident!

Afterwards, as expected, the story that she fell into the water and was rescued by the Prince of Zhenguo Palace became a hot gossip in Chang'an City, and all kinds of rumors spread.

She stayed at home all day long and became seriously ill because of it. What she thought in her mind was: Why should he save her? He might as well let her drown in the lake.

At that time, being young and strong, she was really determined to die.

Unexpectedly, not long after, someone came from the Zhenguo Duke's Mansion to propose marriage.

Of course my parents have no reason not to agree.

In terms of family background, she is truly a high achiever.

If it hadn't been for this incident, she would never have been able to marry into such a high-ranking family.

Some people were jealous of her blessing in disguise, so they deliberately slandered her reputation, saying that she fell into the water on purpose just to rely on Li Ling.

She was very sad after hearing this. She thought at that time that if the Zhenguo government did not come to propose marriage and Li Ling did not marry her, then she would really not be able to survive.

Those rumors were enough to kill her.

At that time, she was really grateful to Li Ling. She thought to herself: Since Li Ling is willing to take this responsibility for her and marry her, she must treat her well and be obedient to her.

It was him who saved her, twice.

It's a pity that in the end, she still didn't have any regrets towards him in her previous life.

"What are you thinking about? You are so lost in thought." The boat had already reached the center of the lake. Li Ling put down the pole of the boat, walked over to Jingshu and sat down next to her.

Jing Shu turned around, looked at him and said with a smile, "I didn't think about anything."

Li Ling saw her pair of clear almond eyes were moist, held her in his arms, looked at the endless lake and asked as if talking to himself: "Aren't you happy marrying me?"

Jingshu raised her head from her arms, looked at him and asked, "Why did your husband say that?"

Li Ling turned his gaze to his young wife and said, "I see that you always seem to be worried."

In this life, he actually cared about her so much.

In her previous life, she was depressed every day. She was even more depressed than she is now, but he never cared about her.

To be fair, Li Ling was kind to her in this life, and she should no longer dwell on her grudge against him in her previous life.

That would be unfair to Li Ling.

She herself couldn't be happy either.

People always have to look forward.

"My husband is an upright and good man who takes good care of me. I am not unhappy that I can marry you. On the contrary, I feel very happy." Jing Shu said, leaning her head on his shoulder.

After hearing this, Li Ling's mouth curled up, and the hand holding him couldn't help but tighten again, but he couldn't find any suitable words to say back to her.

He was silent for a long time and then suddenly said: "The carp in this lake are the most delicious. I'll catch a fish for you to eat."

With that said, Li Ling got up and went to the cabin. After a while, he fetched a fishing rod. He stood tall and tall in front of Jingshu, with a look of excitement on his resolute and handsome face. He looked at her with burning eyes and said

: "Just wait, I'll catch a fish for you right now."

There was a hint of childishness in his expression and words.

Li Ling: I would like to go up to the sky to catch the moon and go down to the lake to catch fish for you.

Jing Shu: I don’t want the moon or the fish, I just want you to treat me sincerely.
