The High Gate Mistress of Rebirth

Chapter 48 Please Madam, please open a small stove for me

The stars were shining brightly, and the night was getting darker. Li Ling was sitting at the large mahogany desk, concentrating on processing official documents.

Jingshu opened the door and walked in, smiling and saying, "It's so late and you haven't finished your work yet?"

Li Ling raised his head and saw Jingshu, with a look of surprise on his face, and asked, "Why are you here?"

Jingshu put the food box on the table and replied: "I was worried that you would be hungry after working so late, so I made some midnight snacks for you." After saying that, she took out all the food made by Ziyun in the food box.

Come out and place it in front of Li Ling.

Li Ling put down the slip of paper in his hand, his eyebrows relaxed, and he said with a smile: "I'm sorry to have you, Madam."

"Eat it while it's hot," Jingshu urged.

Li Ling picked up a piece of snack, looked at his young wife sitting opposite, and asked: "Did you make it for me with your own hands?"

Jingshu paused, smiled slightly, and nodded gently.

Li Ling put it in his mouth, took a bite, and praised: "It tastes really good!" As he said that, he raised his eyes and looked at Jing Shu with a half-smile and joked: "It's not easy to eat snacks made by Madam herself."

Jing Shu didn't say anything, she raised her hand and filled a bowl of milk soup for Li Ling, pushed it to him and said, "Dry snacks, just eat this."

After that, Jingshu stood up and said: "When you are done with your work, go back and rest early. I will go back first."

Li Ling looked at her, patted the ridge beside him, and motioned for Jingshu to sit over.

Jing Shu slowly walked over and didn't sit down. She just stood in front of him and said, "You go ahead and do your work. Today's accounts haven't been finished yet. You'll have to work for a while when you get back."

Li Ling took her hand, asked her to sit next to him, and replied: "It's not too late, just sit with me for a while."

Jing Shu smiled faintly, broke away from his hand, looked at the thick official documents on the case, and asked, "Are you still busy with the military parade at the end of the year?"

Li Ling nodded.

Looking at his young wife's bright eyes as clear as autumn water, Li Ling said: "When this errand is completed, I will ask the Holy Father to grant you a royal title."

Hearing this, Jing Shu's eyes lit up, she looked at Li Ling and said: "I am still young and have no qualifications, can I succeed?"

Throughout the dynasties, once a woman was named a royal wife, she could always enjoy the court salary just like a man who entered the officialdom. If she made a mistake, her husband's family could not abandon her. Even if she violated the law, local officials could not abandon her.

The right to punish can only be reported to the Holy Court and wait for the emperor's decision.

Therefore, once a woman is granted a title, she can enjoy many privileges, which is the greatest honor for a woman.

In his previous life, Li Ling had also applied for a title for her. He had applied for her after he had made meritorious service in quelling the Northwest Rebellion. She had been married to her for three years at that time.

Li Ling said: "As long as I do my job well, there's nothing I can't do."

Jing Shu smiled sweetly at him and sat down next to him. She rested her head on his shoulder and replied leisurely: "In this case, I will wait to take advantage of your husband."

It was rare to see her so docile. Li Ling felt satisfied and looked at his little wife leaning on him with crooked eyebrows.

After a while, Jingshu raised her head, pointed at Li Ling to the papers on the table, and said, "Husband, hurry up and get busy."

You must complete this errand well so that you can be granted a seal for me!

This was indeed what she was thinking in her heart, and naturally Jing Shu would not express it to her mouth. She smiled and said to Li Ling: "I'm done with my work, so I can go back and rest early."

The little wife has bright eyes and white teeth, and she has a sweet smile on her joyful face, which is gentle and touching, making people's hearts itch.

Li Ling smiled and said, "We're almost done. You stay here with me for a while. When I'm done, we'll go back together."

Jingshu said "Okay" happily. She raised her hand to pick out the candle wick on the saddle, pushed the document to Li Ling and said, "Husband, hurry up and get busy."

As she moved her hands and feet, the sweet scent emanating from her body kept disturbing Li Ling's heartstrings. Fortunately, he was a determined person. He raised his hand and took a sip of the herbal tea on the table, calmed his mind, and took another

The memorial letter was read carefully.

After he finished reading the last page of the memorial in his hand, he turned to look at the person beside him. The young wife was already asleep on the desk.

Li Ling took the cloak, wrapped her tightly, carried her out of the study and headed towards the main room.

On this day, she went out to socialize and the director paid attention to the accounts. She was also too tired. It was only when Li Ling held her in his arms that Jingshu woke up half way through.

When she saw that she was being held by Li Ling, she subconsciously struggled and said, "Put me down and I'll go on my own."

Li Ling replied: "You were sleeping hot, and you will get sick if you catch the cool breeze." As he said that, he held her arm tighter.

She had just slept soundly, so she simply stopped insisting, huddled in her cloak and buried her head in his solid chest, closing her eyes and squinting.

After entering the room, Li Ling didn't put her down. He just put her on the bed and said, "Go to sleep."

Jingshu muttered: "I haven't taken off my clothes yet."

Li Ling stretched out his hand to take off her coat, removed the socks from her feet, and tucked her into bed: "Let's sleep well this time."

She had been wrapped in his cloak all the way back, so she didn't feel any cold. Now that she was in bed, she was even warmer. Jingshu closed her eyes and fell into a deep sleep.

When she woke up the next day, Li Ling had returned from martial arts practice, had packed up, and was sitting at the dining table outside, waiting for her.

Jingshu glanced at Li Ling and saw that it was already late. She hurriedly called Ziyun to wash and dress. When she came to the outside, she looked at Li Ling and said, "You are busy these days, why don't you have a meal first?"

Go out early."

Li Ling looked at her and smiled and replied: "I have to train my troops in the camp right now. I can't come back to eat at night. I will accompany you in the morning."

Jing Shu smiled at him and said shyly, "My husband is very considerate."

Li Ling stretched out his hand towards her, Jingshu put her hand on his big palm, Li Ling held her delicate hand, looked at her and said: "Madam is so considerate to my husband, naturally I also feel sorry for Madam."

Just as he was talking, Ziyun came in from outside with two little girls carrying breakfast. Li Ling quickly let go of his hand, suppressed his smile, and sat on the chair with a serious expression again.

Jing Shu personally filled the soup for her and said with concern: "My husband will have dinner in the camp for a while. I am afraid that the food in the camp will be rough and will not be able to enter my husband's mouth."

Although Li Ling came from a wealthy family, he was a military commander and had never experienced any hardships in marching and fighting all year round, so he was not picky about his diet.

Hearing Jingshu say this, she replied: "The food in the camp is naturally not as good as in the house, so I can only barely feed myself." As she said that, she looked at Jingshu: "The late-night snack made by my wife last night was very suitable for me. From now on.

I didn't eat well in the camp. When I come back, I can just ask my wife to open a small stove for me."

After hearing this, Ziyun, who was serving dishes on the side, shook the jade chopsticks in his hand and glanced at Jingshu with a guilty conscience.

Jing Shu didn't change her expression. She looked at Li Ling with a smile and said, "If your husband likes it, I can just do it for you every day."

Li Ling's lips curled up as he looked at him and replied, "In this case, you are your wife."

After seeing off Li Ling, Jingshu was about to rush to the front office to be a director. Remembering that Li Ling asked her to make a midnight snack, Jingshu told Ziyun: "I will make him a midnight snack every night from now on, can you?"

Don’t forget.”

Ziyun said in embarrassment: "My uncle wants you to do it for him yourself. I'm afraid it won't be good for me to do it for you."

Jingshu was arranging her clothes and replied: "It's okay! You made it last night, and he praised it and said it was delicious. From now on, just remember to make it for him at night."
