The High Gate Mistress of Rebirth

Chapter 35 Let her accompany his sweetheart to relieve his boredom?

When Li Ling came back, he saw that the house was empty, so he went back to the courtyard and asked the old woman who was sweeping the porch, "Where is Madam?"

The mother-in-law replied respectfully: "Madam and girl Ziyun are making snacks in the small kitchen."

Li Ling returned to the house again, took off his official uniform and changed into his own clothes.

I have been tired all day, but my heart is happy.

For a while now, her little wife seemed to have been worrying about things in the garden, and was impatient with him, but today she personally cooked some snacks for him.

He liked her being gentle to him, so Li Ling curled her lips and sat down to pour tea and drink it by herself.

After a while, I saw the little wife coming back, and the girl who followed behind her was indeed holding a small bamboo basket specially used to hold snacks.

Li Ling was happy in his heart, but he didn't show it on his face. He knew it and asked, "I haven't seen you since I came back. What did you do?"

Jing Shu raised her eyes and glanced at him, then replied: "Go to the small kitchen to make some snacks." After saying that, she turned back and told Ziyun: "Put the snacks on the table to dry for a while, otherwise they will taste bad if you just put them in the box."

Bad."

Ziyun agreed and put the small bamboo basket containing the snacks on the table. Seeing Li Ling staring at the snacks, Ziyun smiled and said, "Madam made them all by herself. Your Majesty, please try one." After that, she picked up a piece.

Passed it to Li Ling.

The pastry is shaped like a lotus flower, with layers of pastry as thin as paper, and layers of red bean paste wrapped in it. It looks extremely delicate, because it has just come out of the pan and is still exuding a strong frankincense.

Li Ling took it and said casually: "What is this called?"

Ziyun smiled and replied: "My wife calls this snack 'Lotus Cake'."

Li Ling was about to open his mouth to try something new, but was snatched away by Jing Shu who came from the inner room.

"This is for mother."

She moved very quickly, with a slight anger on her pink face, and her tone also meant to blame him.

Li Ling was stunned.

Ziyun hurriedly tried to persuade him and said: "The prince saw that Madam made exquisite snacks and wanted to try one. Madam, there are many more here, enough to send to the princess tomorrow."

Jing Shu also realized her gaffe, and she explained: "The prince doesn't like sweets, so I put honey in my heart."

Li Ling smiled and said, "It's okay, I'm not averse to sweets."

He looked up at Jingshu, then looked up at the snacks that she had taken away.

Jing Shu put the snacks back into the bamboo basket and said to Ziyun indifferently: "Go and see if Danzhu and the others have brought the snack boxes? I think it's almost cold now, so let's pack them into boxes."

Ziyun glanced at Li Ling's face with fear, and hesitated: "I will go and urge you now."

After a while, several little girls took out the snack boxes, and Jingshu carefully packed them piece by piece.

A total of five boxes were packed.

I made five boxes of snacks, but I couldn't bear to give him a piece of them.

Li Ling's heart was heavy, but when he looked at his young wife's sullen face, he couldn't bear to be angry with her.

She was still young, and he, a grown man, couldn't afford to get angry with a little woman over a trivial matter.

Li Ling got up and walked to the bed. When he saw the pile of account books, he flipped through them twice and asked, "I heard that grandma asked you to take charge of the family."

Jingshu was concentrating on wrapping the snack box and nodded yes, her face still calm.

Li Ling walked up to her and said with a smile: "When you take charge of a house, you become the mistress of the house. You are the mistress of this house."

Jing Shu raised her head and said, "I'm afraid that my ability is limited and I won't be able to do it well."

She was just talking nonsense, but Li Ling opened up the conversation after listening to her words.

He said: "You have only been in the government for a short time and you are still young, so you don't need to have any psychological burden. If you don't do well, grandma won't blame you."

"Besides, aren't there Uncle Xiang and Uncle Fu down there? In the past, the second aunt was in charge of the house, and she didn't worry about everything. Whenever there was an issue, the two housekeepers took care of it before reporting to her. I didn't have to do everything personally. of."

"Uncle Xiang is mainly in charge of external affairs. Like Zhuangzi, he is in charge of everything in the shop. Uncle Fu is in charge of the affairs in the house. If you don't understand anything, just go to them and ask them. Or, you are worried that you are young and can't handle it. If anyone who lives down there dares to disobey you, just come and tell me and I will help you with the cooking, and "

Jing Shu wrapped the snack box without any distractions, smiled faintly at Li Ling, interrupted him and said: "I understand, thank you for the advice, Master Shizi."

Li Ling's eloquent narration was suddenly interrupted by her, and then he closed his mouth angrily and stared at her with lowered eyes.

Jing Shu raised her head and asked, "Why is the prince looking at me like this?"

Li Ling took her hand, looked at her and said, "Why do you call me like that again?"

Jing Shu replied: "I'm used to it, and I can't change it for a while."

Li Ling's eyes dimmed and he whispered: "Are you always angry with me because of what happened that day?"

Jing Shu asked: "What is the prince referring to? I don't understand."

Li Ling knew that she was pretending to be confused, so he held her hand and hurriedly explained: "It was really an emergency that day. I..."

What's the emergency? Are you a miracle doctor? You can save people's lives by rushing over?

Just like in his previous life, Qingluan was forced to get married, and he was also desperate for her.

She is his weakness.

He just cares about her too much!

In his previous life, Jingshu had been trapped in this matter and could not resolve it. Now that he has looked away, he can just let him go if he cares about other women.

Now that she is married to him, she must establish herself in this house and be the mistress of the house.

It's okay if she can't get her true love. She must try her best to defend the position that belongs to her.

"I told you a long time ago that I didn't mind what happened that day. It was the prince who was overly worried," Jing Shu said.

Li Ling said sullenly: "I see that you are not treating me like before these days."

Jingshu sat down at the table, took out an account, and said casually: "There are too many things going on these days. First, my grandmother was ill, and now I have to learn to run a business." As she said that, she pointed to the pile of things in front of her. There was a mountain of account books, and he continued: "Look, just these accounts are enough for me to look at for a few days."

Li Ling stood next to Jing Shu, patted the account books casually, and said, "You can take your time and look at these things when you have time. There is no rush."

"I handed a sign to the palace a few days ago to ask my grandmother to come into the palace to see Qingluan. This morning someone from the palace came back and said that two female relatives can be allowed to come to the palace tomorrow."

After listening to Li Ling's words, Jing Shu's eyes moved from the account book to his face.

Li Ling looked at Jing Shu and said, "I'm thinking, you can accompany your grandmother the day after tomorrow."

"Do you think I'm suitable?" Jing Shu asked expressionlessly after hearing what he said.

Li Ling replied: "Is there anything inappropriate about this? According to the etiquette, a foreigner is not allowed to enter the palace without a royal decree. But since the palace has shown mercy, you can just go with your grandmother."

He looked at Jing Shu and said with a smile: "You haven't been to the palace yet, so you might as well go and see it. There are many strange things in the palace. Let Qingluan accompany you and grandma around. She is alone in the palace.

It’s also very boring.”

Let her accompany his sweetheart to relieve his boredom?

How did he come up with this!

"I'm not going!" Jingshu replied.

There was no emotion in her tone, but Li Ling clearly felt her displeasure.

"Why?" he asked blurtly.

"I don't like to go." After saying that, she lowered her head and continued to read the account book.
