The High Gate Mistress of Rebirth

Emperor Ming nodded and said: "Since it has been planned, it should not be delayed. Let's issue the decree tomorrow."

Emperor Ming indeed promised Li Ling not to interfere in his family affairs, but little did he know that Li Ling's family affairs were also related to state affairs.

It is true that Emperor Ming loved his nephew very much, but as the king of a country, he wanted to pave a worry-free imperial path for his son, but this overriding the relationship between him and Li Ling's uncle and nephew.

Besides, in Emperor Ming's view, letting his nephew marry another woman was not something that would harm him. Emperor Ming had always been very puzzled by Li Ling's behavior of being willing to hang on to just one woman. In his view, this was nothing more than his nephew's wife.

Because he is too old-fashioned, there are many women around him, so this old-fashioned nephew will naturally learn to taste things, and maybe he has to thank his uncle.

When Empress Cao saw that Emperor Ming had not changed her mind, she quickly replied: "I obey the decree. I will send someone to the Zhenguo Duke's Mansion tomorrow to declare the decree."

Emperor Ming's visit to Jiaofang Palace was just to warn Empress Cao not to win over foreign ministers. Since he had already said what needed to be said, and there were many beauties in the harem waiting for him to spend the night with him, he naturally did not want to stay with the aging Empress Cao any longer.

Emperor Ming said calmly: "It's getting late, the queen should settle down earlier." Then he got up and left Jiaofang Hall.

The emperor and the empress had long since left their hearts. Empress Cao felt like a mirror in her heart that the reason why Emperor Ming was still willing to treat her with pretense was just because of the great power of her Cao family. She watched Emperor Ming's back leave late at night, but he had long since disappeared.

It was a feeling of despair when she was young, and the only thing she was thinking about was the matter of ordering people to go to the Zhenguo Palace to announce the decree tomorrow.

Empress Cao placed Qingluan next to Li Ling for a big deal. This was the big deal in Empress Cao's heart.

Li Ling came out of the palace and went straight back home. It was already midnight when he returned to Qingfeng Garden.

The cold wind in winter was biting, but the light from inside the house was warm and soft. The figure of his beloved wife reflected on the window made Li Ling's heart soften. He stepped up his steps, taking three steps and two steps at a time.

Go up the steps to the porch, push the door open and enter the house.

Li Ling entered the house amid the cold winter wind. Jingshu, who was handling accounts under the lamp, hurriedly came forward and said softly as usual: "I'm back."

Li Ling put his hand to his mouth to warm it, and then stretched out his hand to hold his wife. He looked at her with crooked eyebrows and asked, "Are you anxious for the wait?"

Jingshu smiled gently and said: "There is no need to worry, I know you will come back to me sooner or later."

Li Ling smiled after hearing Jingshu's pun, leaned over and picked up his wife, slightly raised his eyebrows and said, "You are quite confident."

Jing Shu smiled, stretched her arms around Li Ling's neck, and said proudly: "Of course, I believe that no woman in this world can make you look at her except me."

The north wind was whistling outside the window, and the charcoal fire in the fireplace was burning brightly. On the large carved rosewood bed, the couple was enjoying their love and affection.

When Jingshu woke up, Li Ling had already gone out. When Ziyun came in to help her wash up, he replied: "My uncle went to the camp at dawn. He said that there was something going on in the camp today, so he had to go early and return early after he was done.

.”

Jingshu stretched her body for a long time. After getting out of bed and tidying up, she went to Baoxia to visit her two children as usual.

Brother Xuan and Sister Bao had already woken up, and the two little guys were nestling in the warm quilt, talking to each other without saying a word. Sister Bao saw her mother come in before her brother, and she opened her arms towards

Jingshu shouted: "Mother, come and hug me first."

Sister Bao has always loved biting, but fortunately Brother Xuan is very much like an older brother and always gives way to his sister.

Jing Shu came to Sister Bao's side, stretched out her hand to touch her little face, and urged: "Get up soon. After breakfast, mother is still busy."

Sister Bao asked, "Where's Daddy? Why didn't you come over to see me?"

Jingshu took the clothes for her son and daughter and replied: "Dad is busy with errands today. He got up early in the morning and went to the camp."

When Sister Bao heard this, she pouted, frowned and said displeasedly: "Daddy left so early again? He didn't even eat with Sister Bao, huh!"

Jingshu patiently coaxed her daughter and said, "Daddy will be back after dinner. Sister Bao, please be good."

With that said, Jingshu pushed the clothes to her daughter and urged: "Get up soon, get dressed yourself."

While Sister Bao was dressing herself, she murmured in a low voice: "If daddy were at home, he would definitely help me get dressed."

Jingshu just didn't hear anything. After the children had put on their clothes and washed themselves, she took them outside to have breakfast.

After breakfast, the wet nurses took their brothers and sisters to play in the yard. Jingshu packed up and went to the front office to attend the meeting as usual. Just as she was about to go out, Ling Xiao ran into the inner courtyard in a panic.

When he saw Jingshu, he said anxiously: "Madam, the Queen has issued an edict, and the eunuch who announced the edict has already arrived at the second gate."

When Jing Shu heard that it was Empress Cao's order, she felt a chill in her heart. Seeing Ling Xiao's flustered look, she even guessed it.

She felt her eyes suddenly go dark, but she gritted her teeth to prevent herself from fainting.

Ziyun quickly supported Jingshu, frowned and asked Lingxiao: "Have you heard what the decree is?"

Ling Xiao frowned and hesitated: "The eunuch who announced the decree didn't explain it, but it would be detrimental to my wife to hear that."

Jing Shu had calmed down at this moment and told Ling Xiao: "Go to the camp to explain the matter to the prince immediately and invite the prince back."

Ling Xiao took the order and left. Ziyun looked at Jingshu and said anxiously: "Empress Cao has made things difficult for Madam again and again. This time she will definitely put Madam at a disadvantage. Madam might as well hide for now and see the eunuch when my uncle comes back."

purpose."

Since the killing has reached the doorstep, there is no way to escape.

Jing Shu calmed down at this moment, and she replied calmly: "Let's go, go and receive the order first."

With that said, she supported Ziyun and slowly walked out of Qingfeng Garden and headed towards the second gate.

The eunuch who announced the decree was accompanied by the chief steward of the palace. He was already a little impatient after waiting. When he saw Jingshu, the eunuch unfolded Empress Cao's decree and recited it loudly.

Mrs. Shen, the crown prince’s wife of the Duke of Zhenguo Palace, accepted the order

By God's blessing, the Queen's decree is: Shen, the wife of the Crown Prince of Zhenguo, is of humble origin, jealous and arrogant, and is not worthy of being a high-ranking official in the imperial court. She is specially demoted to a side chamber. I appreciate this!

A decree, just a few words, pulled Jingshu from the clouds to the mud.

Jingshu took the decree, her mind was in confusion, and her ears were buzzing. She glanced at Uncle Xiang, the chief steward who was standing aside with a worried look on his face, and said: "Mr. Xiang, I wish you a good life, father-in-law."

Leave the house."

Uncle Xiang sighed heavily and replied: "I understand, madam."

He deliberately made his "madam"'s life miserable in order to vent the royal family's dissatisfaction with his mistress's unfair treatment.

After Jingshu made a simple explanation, she turned around. Her heart felt like a knife cutting her, but she held on and kept herself from falling. As usual, she walked towards Qingfeng Garden with calm and dignified steps.
