The High Gate Mistress of Rebirth

Chapter 70 The youngest imperial wife in Chang'an City

Women who can enter the inner palace and become female officials are all from the nobility. In addition to having outstanding talents and talents, they are also naturally thoughtful.

Take the female officer next to Qingluan named "Si Hua". In addition to being good at painting, she is also a very smart person.

Yesterday, the Ninth Princess gave her a special task, which was to take advantage of today's opportunity to watch the military parade and ask her to send a message written by the princess to the Crown Prince's wife. In addition, she also gave her a special instruction.

, I want to really draw the face of the prince’s wife when I come back.

Si Hua was also curious about the prince's wife. When she first heard that the immortal prince of Zhenguo Palace had married a woman whose family background was extremely inappropriate, she thought about what was so special about this woman.

, to be able to capture someone like Li Ling.

From the moment she saw Jingshu today, she understood.

With such a majestic appearance, not only marrying into the prince's family, but also entering the harem, she is still outstanding.

After returning to the palace, she was in trouble. Even if she was good at painting, she was not sure that she could paint one-tenth of the charm of the prince's wife. Besides, how could she not guess the thoughts of the ninth princess?

The Crown Prince's wife that she really longed for in her heart was definitely not such a peerless beauty.

Si Hua struggled for a long time, but fortunately she was smart and adopted such a clever way to hand over the job to the princess.

Qingluan's eyes returned to the painting. Although he couldn't see clearly the face of the woman in the painting, she must be a beautiful woman from her posture.

Her originally pale face became even more pale, and she whispered to Si Hua in despair, "Just go down."

After Si Hua left, she spread the scroll on the table, held her cheek in her hand, and stood still with tears in her eyes.

When Qingluan's personal maid Chao Lu saw this, she was worried that she would overthink again, so she hurriedly stepped forward to persuade her: "Princess, don't be sad." She looked at the portrait on the table and said, "I see that this Shen is just an ordinary person.

generation."

Qingluan finally came back to her senses. She seemed to be willing to believe what Chao Lu said, but she couldn't really feel at ease: "Really? Chao Lu, look, although she lowered her head, her eyes, her expression, and her

Figure." She sniffed: "It is said outside that this daughter of the Shen family is the most beautiful beauty in Chang'an City."

Chao Lu smiled and consoled her: "No matter how beautiful you are, it doesn't matter. The prince is not a womanizer."

Seeing that Qingluan's frowning eyebrows finally relaxed a little, she continued to persuade: "I'm just from a small family. Didn't you see Si Hua? You just said that. When she went to see her today, the Shen family girl kept looking down.

With his head down, it can be seen that he is not a man who has seen the world, he is just an empty vase."

After listening to Chaolu's words, Qingluan felt a little comforted and murmured: "Then do you think my cousin will really like her?"

Chao Lu coaxed her and said: "From what I see, the eldest son of the Li family only lost his reputation because he rescued her when she fell into the water. The eldest son had no choice but to marry her out of responsibility."

"If it's love, how can it be compared to you? Your Majesty has been protecting you since you were a child. You don't know this yet."

The melancholy on Qingluan's face finally dissipated, and she sighed faintly: "It's a pity that I haven't gotten hairpins yet, so this daughter of the Shen family took advantage of it."

Chaolu sighed secretly in her heart. No matter what, the eldest son of the Zhenguo Duke's mansion was already married. The dust had settled, but her master was obsessed with it and still refused to give up. She was a thoughtful person and was not in good health. How could she dare to tell it like this?

He said that he had no choice but to persuade her according to her wishes.

"So what can I do? If you really don't want to marry someone other than the eldest son of the Li family, then you and Ji Hou will explain to the Holy One that she is the daughter of a small family. As long as the Holy One orders the eldest son of the Li family to abandon her, won't you?

That’s what you wished for.”

Qingluan sighed leisurely: "I have the same thought." She pinched the gold silk handkerchief and stirred it, and said bitterly: "It's just that I was too thin-skinned at the beginning. If I had explained it to my father, aunt or grandmother earlier,

, I won’t be as troubled as I am today.”

As she spoke, she shed tears.

Chao Lu quickly coaxed, "I don't blame you for that. How can you follow your elders and tell them this before you have a hairpin? Besides, you will have a hairpin after the Chinese New Year, so it won't be too late at that time."

Qingluan cried and said: "The royal family has been married to the Li family for generations. I thought that things with my cousin would be settled naturally, but I didn't know. I'm just afraid that my cousin is really attracted to the Shen family.

If so, what can I do in the future?"

She was about to cry and was heartbroken, no matter how much Chao Lu tried to coax her, she couldn't help herself.

Chao Lu hurriedly advised: "If the princess is worried about this, why not wait for a while to test it in person, so that you can know for sure."

After hearing this, Qingluan gradually stopped crying, his eyes moved slightly, and he couldn't help but think about it.

——

On the 30th of the twelfth lunar month, New Year’s Eve, the whole family reunites.

The palace of Zhenguo Gong was decorated with lights and colorful decorations, and everything was filled with a festive atmosphere. The eunuch of the inner court, dressed in crimson official uniform, was holding a fly whisk in one hand and a bright yellow imperial edict in the other. He was surrounded by three or five young eunuchs and came to the gate of Zhenguo Gong's palace.

In front of him, he sang and said: "Shen, the wife of Li Ling, the eldest son of Zhenguo Palace, has accepted the decree."

The door attendant rushed to the inner courtyard. In a moment, Jing Shu led a group of stewards to the gate and knelt down to receive the order.

The eunuch who proclaimed the decree unfolded the imperial edict and said loudly: "By God's blessing, the emperor decreed that Mrs. Shen, Li Ling, the eldest son of Zhenguo Gongfu, had a gentle nature, good inner conduct, and virtuous conduct. Li Ling, the commander of the city patrol department, was envoyed by her husband

I submitted a petition to request the title, and upon receiving it, I was conferred the title of Madam of the Third Grade of Imperial Order. I express my admiration for her."

Jing Shu led everyone to express their gratitude respectfully, and the eunuch who announced the decree immediately handed over the imperial edict, Lai Die and Gaoming Zhai Yi to Jing Shu, and said with a smile: "Congratulations, madam."

Jingshu took the imperial edict from Lai Die, with a warm smile on her face: "Father-in-law, let's go in and have a cup of tea."

The eunuch who announced the decree clasped his fists and said, "The palace is busy during the year, so our family won't go in."

Uncle Fu hurriedly stepped forward and thrust a bulging purse into the eunuch's hands: "Excuse me, father-in-law, I would like to ask you to have a cup of tea."

The eunuch who declared the decree declined with Uncle Fu, secretly weighed it in his hands and put it in his arms, smiling at Jingshu and saying: "You are the youngest decreed wife in our Chang'an City, haha, you have a bright future.

"

Jingshu smiled and replied, "I'd like to thank you for your kind words."

After seeing off the eunuch who announced the decree, Jing Shu led everyone back and asked, "Have they all returned, Master Shizi?"

Today is my last day on duty, and my family is having a reunion dinner tonight.

Uncle Fu replied: "Someone who came from Xiyuan just now said that the uncle has returned, but the prince and the third master have not returned yet."

Jing Shu asked: "How are the preparations for the dinner going?"

Uncle Fu replied: "Everything is ready."

Jingshu nodded and returned to Qingfeng Garden first. As soon as she entered the house, several little girls had already gotten the news and gathered around her.

Danzhu jumped for joy: "Miss, let's see what the imperial Zhai Yi looks like?"

Bilu opened her round eyes: "Miss, let me touch this material."

Ziyun smiled and said: "Although our uncle is not as eloquent and coaxing as others, he really loves his wife."
