The High Gate Mistress of Rebirth

Chapter 147

Spring is fleeting, and summer is here, and the weather is getting hotter.

There are three ice mirrors in the main hall of the carved gallery of Zhongshunhou Mansion, but the delicate and expensive Princess Lanling still feels hot and stuffy in her heart. She was just about to call the maid to fetch an ice bowl to relieve the heat. It is said that the mother-in-law entered the room and replied respectfully: "I report to the princess, Princess Jin asks to see you."

After hearing what the mother-in-law said, Princess Lanling was taken aback for a moment, thinking that she had heard the wrong words because she was flustered and depressed due to the heat, and she asked suspiciously, "Who wants to see you?"

The mother-in-law cleared her throat and repeated it again: "It's Princess Jin, who just came in after handing over the greeting card, and is now waiting outside the gate of the mansion."

This King of Jin is the son of Concubine Meng. Although the Holy Majesty could not withstand the pressure of the officials and had appointed Zhao Bi, the son of Empress Cao of the Central Palace, as the crown prince, everyone who understands knows that the candidate for the crown prince that the Holy Majesty has always preferred is the Meng family. The king of Jin came out.

The Princeling Party and Jinwang Party are now raging, and the positions of the Zhongshunhou Mansion and the Zhen Guogong Mansion are the same.

It is to remain neutral, to support no one, and to offend no one.

This is the wisdom and confidence of a family with a deep foundation. If you don't pull the faction and don't occupy the team, although you can't do the work of the dragon in the end, at least you can keep the family safe.

Princess Lanling has never had any contact with Princess Jin. Hearing that Princess Jin is asking to see her, Lanling's heart is full of ominous premonitions: "Quickly order the princess to come in."

As she said that, she called someone to serve her, changed into formal clothes for meeting guests, led the maids and maids out of the main hall, and greeted her at the gate.

After Princess Jin and Princess Lanling greeted each other and greeted each other, Lanling warmly welcomed Princess Jin into the living room.

When distinguished guests came to the door, the maids filed in and served tea and fruit, and the hospitality was very attentive.

The two sat down and drank a cup of tea, and chatted for a while, Princess Jin tentatively said: "I heard that the son of the mansion is now working as an errand for the city patrol?"

As soon as the other party mentioned her son, Lan Ling understood the purpose of the other party's visit, and her unsteady heart sank suddenly.

She took a sip of tea, suppressed her emotions, and still had a smile on her face, and replied: "It's just that our Hou Ye relied on his years of friendship with the Duke of Zhen Guo's Mansion to seek help for the dog under the command of the Li family's son." This kid has a naughty nature, and his father and I can't control him, so we simply have an errand to tie him up, so that he won't be idle all day making troubles."

Everyone is a sensible person. When Princess Jin heard Lanling's disparaging words about her son, she could tell that he didn't want to marry them.

It's just that her daughter-in-law is entrusted by her mother-in-law, Meng Guifei, even if she already understood what Lan Ling meant, she still had to make it clear before she could explain to her mother-in-law.

Jin Wangfei smiled and said: "The Princess is modest, the son of the mansion is quite famous in Beijing, even the concubine and mother-in-law Meng Guifei knows about it."

As we all know, the eight princesses from the Meng family have reached the age of Ji.

When Lan Ling heard that Princess Jin mentioned Concubine Meng Gui, the smile on her face froze.

Princess Jin also stopped playing riddles, and continued: "Now that the eighth princess has reached the age of marriage, my eighth imperial sister is born with a beautiful country, and won the favor of my father."

She glanced at Lan Ling and asked: "To be honest, I was entrusted by my mother-in-law today to ask what you mean."

The Eighth Princess, who is deeply loved by the Emperor Ming, wants to marry whoever he likes. Originally, Emperor Ming can fulfill his wish with a word, but Concubine Meng is well versed in the way of men and women.

If the melon is twisted by force, it will not be sweet even if it reaches the mouth.

What she wants is that the future son-in-law can treat her precious daughter wholeheartedly, and love her daughter, so that her daughter will have a smooth life. To be on the safe side, Meng Guifei asked her daughter-in-law to come to inquire.

The eighth princess is indeed the most beautiful among the nine princesses of the current Holy Majesty, but as we all know, she is also the most overbearing one.

Not to mention that the Marquis of Zhongshun didn't want to get involved in the muddy waters of the battle for the reserve position, even if there was no such thing, Lanling didn't want his only precious son, such a difficult princess, to serve him.

Princess Jin's words are all clear, and Lanling can't pretend to be confused anymore, she politely refused: "This is really appreciated by the imperial concubine, but my dog ​​is really naughty, how can I be qualified to judge the Lord, and how can I accept it?" Please Wangfei go back and wait for the concubine to express her feelings to the noble concubine."

Seeing Lanling's refusal, Jin Wangfei said embarrassingly: "The princess should not refuse so arbitrarily, the children's affairs should follow their own wishes."

She looked at Lanling, and continued: "How about this, when the son returns, you can ask him, if the son is willing, a man with a talent and a woman's appearance will also be a happy marriage."

Naturally, Lan Ling was not good enough to disrespect Princess Jin, so he said perfunctorily: "Okay, then when she comes back, I'll ask this bastard. It's just that my dog ​​is used to messing around, and I can't bear the slightest restraint, I'm afraid No blessing to accept your mother's kindness."

Whether the other party is willing or not, since the errands assigned by the concubine's mother-in-law have been completed, Princess Jin also doesn't want to be annoying here, so she chatted with Lanling for a while and got up to leave.

Lanling sent Princess Jin out, and happened to meet Zhou Jin returning at the gate.

Lan Ling bit the bullet and introduced his son, and Zhou Jin respectfully greeted Princess Jin.

Concubine Jin looked at Zhou Jin calmly, and thought to herself: The eldest son of the Zhou family is indeed very personable and handsome, no wonder the sister-in-law with the eyes above the top glanced at him, and then shouted that he must not marry.

Princess Jin politely returned the salute to Zhou Jin, exchanged a few casual greetings, got into the carriage and headed towards the palace.

After sending off Princess Jin, Zhou Jin glanced at the chariots and horses parked outside the door with the nameplate of the Duke of Zhen, and asked her mother, "But the female family members of the Duke of Zhen are visiting?"

Lan Ling glanced at the carriages and horses parked at the door, and then suddenly said: "In the first half of the sound, it seemed that the girls raised their mouths, it was your two cousins ​​who invited the third lady and a few noble girls to play at home .”

As soon as she heard that Jinyan was here, Zhou Jin resigned from her mother and hurried to the second room.

Lan Ling called his son to stop, and said angrily, "The girls are gathering together, what are you going to do?"

She said earnestly: "Now that you are all grown up, you should be more taboo."

Zhou Jin's cheeks were slightly red, she scratched her head and said, "I went to my second uncle just to find my second and third brothers, and asked them to go for a ride."

As he said that, he walked briskly towards the second room in the mansion.

As soon as Zhou Jin walked to the second gate, he saw his two cousins, Jin Yan and two other girls of the same age drinking tea and chatting in the water pavilion from a distance.

He turned around and walked towards the promenade not far from the water pavilion. Zhou Jin sat on the porch and looked at the beautiful figure in the water pavilion. The young man's slightly green face showed a graceful arc.
