The High Gate Mistress of Rebirth

Chapter 90 Li Ling is jealous

The two of them went out in a carriage. Li Ling was disturbed by Qingluan, and his original good mood was gone.

Jing Shu glanced at Li Ling's cold face and said, "Although my cousin is a bit ridiculous, she has made some progress after living here for the past two days."

Li Ling was sitting in the car, snorted coldly, and replied in a tone of hatred: "What improvement has she made? Why didn't I see it?"

"You're so brave!" Jing Shu leaned in front of Li Ling and said seriously: "You yelled at her that day, and she was so scared that her face turned green. If you look at her just now, I can see that her face is not red, and her heart is not beating.

It's much better than that day. From now on, if you bully her a few more times, maybe your cousin will develop her courage and won't be able to be so coquettish and cry all the time."

She held Li Ling's sleeve and said, "If you really win her over, maybe the emperor will reward you."

Li Ling couldn't help but burst into laughter. She turned her head to look at her little wife, stretched out her hand and tugged her ears: "I see you are getting bolder and bolder, and you dare to tease me."

Jing Shu took advantage of the situation and held his face with both hands, rubbed it vigorously, and asked with a bad smile: "Have you ever asked your parents if you were born with a cold face?"

"My face is cold to begin with, but when I get angry it becomes even more intimidating."

Li Ling took advantage of the situation and took his young wife into his arms: "That's why I never get angry with you, just for fear of scaring you."

"That means no matter what I do wrong, you will never be really angry with me." Jing Shu murmured as she snuggled into Li Ling's arms.

Li Ling stared at his little wife in his arms without saying anything, but his face was no longer as cold and solemn as before, and his eyes were full of gentleness.

Even he himself couldn't understand that no matter how angry he was, as long as his wife said a few words, his anger could be silently resolved.

As long as he is with her, he is always relaxed and happy.

When the carriage arrived at Long Street, it was just getting dark and the streets and alleys were already bustling with activity.

The streets on both sides of Chang'an Street are filled with colorful lanterns, the enthusiastic shouts of street vendors come and go, and the streets are crowded with people.

What a scene of human fireworks.

The driver stopped the carriage on the side of the road. Li Ling jumped out of the car and reached out to his wife in the car.

Jingshu bowed out of the car and was hugged by Li Ling. Li Ling did not put her down directly, but held her until she walked to the street before putting her down.

He looked at his little wife and joked: "You should eat less in the future. She seems to have gained a lot of weight recently. It's hard for me to hold her."

Jingshu glared at her: "Just throw me away if you think I'm fat. Humph! There are many young talents here. If anyone doesn't dislike me, I'll go with him." As she said that, she twisted.

The body blended into the endless flow of people.

Li Lingsan caught up with her in two steps and held her little hand: "How dare you have such thoughts? See how I deal with you when I get back."

Jingshu tilted her head at him and said, "Maybe you dislike me and don't allow me to have second thoughts?"

Li Ling put his arm around her shoulders: "I just don't allow you to have second thoughts. You will be mine in this life, the next life, and the next life."

The two of them were chatting and laughing while walking along the crowd. Chang'an Street Square was the busiest place.

The full moon rises into the sky, and thousands of lanterns light up one after another. Under each lantern hangs a set of lantern riddles. Anyone who guesses a different number of lantern riddles can win a corresponding prize. The one who guesses ninety-nine lantern riddles is the winner.

Being named the "Lamp Chief" can win the first prize of the Lantern Festival - a lotus crystal lantern.

Many people who guessed lantern riddles gathered here. Li Ling and Jing Shu also stopped here, and they competed to guess lantern riddles while admiring the lanterns.

"It has legs but cannot walk, has a mouth but cannot speak, and has a face that cannot be washed. Once washed, it becomes ugly."

Li Ling scratched his head and muttered: "What the hell is this?"

Jingshu raised her hand and took off the lantern riddles, and said calmly: "It's a clay doll."

Li Ling was suddenly stunned and said "Oh". He glanced at his wife's proud look and refused to admit defeat: "This thing is a girl's toy. It's no big deal if you guessed it right."

Jing Shu glanced at him and said, "How about we compete and accept defeat?"

Li Ling said happily: "Okay, tell me what to use as a lottery ticket."

Jing Shu pointed to a tall building not far away: "Loser, please go to Fuyun Restaurant for a drink."

Li Ling geared up and said, "Okay." After saying that, he couldn't wait to turn to another lamp and read the lantern riddles seriously.

"It has a face but no mouth, it has feet but no hands. Even though it has four legs, it can't walk on its own." As soon as Li Ling finished reading in a low voice, Jing Shu on the side rushed over and said, "This is a table."

Li Ling replied dejectedly: "Why is it a 'table'? I think it is a 'frog'"

Jing Shu scolded him and argued, "Can't frogs walk?"

Li Ling retorted: "Of course frogs can't walk, they can only jump."

"The frog also has a mouth." After saying that, Jingshu took off the lantern riddle again, waved it in front of Li Ling's eyes, and said proudly: "I won again."

Li Ling's face darkened, he glared at Jing Shu, then turned around to guess something else.

"It's not a beauty trap." This time, Li Ling didn't read it out. She silently calculated it in her mind and said excitedly: "I know this, it is the virtue of a gentleman."

Jingshu made a sound and said: "It's time to be careful about sex." She took off the lantern riddle and looked at the dumbfounded Li Ling. With a hint of sympathy, she added: "'When you are young, your blood is not stable, so be careful.

It’s about color. This is what the Analects of Confucius says.”

She patted Li Ling's shoulder and said earnestly: "My husband has read too few books."

Li Ling replied disdainfully: "I was able to memorize this at the age of five. I was just confused for a moment and didn't remember it."

The two of them guessed as they walked. After half a circle, Jing Shu already had more than thirty lantern riddles in her hand, while Li Ling only held four or five.

Jing Shu glanced at Li Ling, whose face was getting darker and darker, and teased him with a smile: "Isn't it just a matter of a drink? How come the dignified commander of the city patrol department can't afford to lose?"

Li Ling gave his young wife an angry look and said, "We're not sure who will win until the end."

The two of them were shouting and guessing lantern riddles here when a person walked up from a distance and bowed deeply to Jingshu: "Mrs. Shen, I haven't seen you for a long time. How are you?"

Jing Shu opened her eyes and saw that the person who came was none other than Liu Yunzhi. She smiled and said in return, "What a coincidence. I never expected to meet Mr. Liu here."

Li Ling, who was concentrating on guessing lantern riddles not far away, heard the sound, walked over in two or two steps, stood in front of Jing Shu, and said lightly to Liu Yunzhi: "It turns out to be Mr. Liu."

Liu Yunzhi glanced at Li Ling, who was tightly blocking Jing Shu, and twitched the corner of his mouth, and replied: "The last time I visited the house, I was rejected by General Li, but I never thought that the general would still remember Liu.

"

When Liu Yunzhi saw the lantern riddle in Li Ling's hand, a hint of disdain flashed across his face, and he sneered: "I never thought the general would be so elegant."

Li Ling weighed the pitiful lantern riddles in his hand and replied coldly: "These things are just tricks to coax children." As he said that, he glanced at the thick lantern riddles Liu Yunzhi was holding in his hand.

After a stack of pages, he said disdainfully: "Mr. Liu is quite good at this."

Seeing that the two of them were not talking to each other, Jing Shu held Li Ling's sleeve, smiled at Liu Yunzhi and said, "My husband and I are going to have a drink at Fuyun Restaurant. Let's go first and see you later."
