The High Gate Mistress of Rebirth

Chapter 400 Power
The eldest princess returned from the imperial city and went directly to the old lady's Anxi Hall.

After being made such a fuss by Qingluan, the old lady became anxious and fell ill again. She had just taken the medicine and was about to fall asleep when she saw the princess' daughter-in-law coming and was helped to sit up by Madam Xu.

The eldest princess hurried forward and stuffed the soft pillow under the old lady so that the old lady could rest more comfortably.

Although the eldest princess is lofty, she has always respected the old lady. Seeing that the old lady was upset about Qingluan again, the eldest princess sat down beside the old lady and said slowly: "Mother-in-law, don't worry about Qingluan anymore. And upset, I went to the palace just now and met His Majesty, I have already discussed with him to choose a marriage for Qingluan in Beijing, so that if you miss her, you can also see her from time to time."

Qingluan's marriage was a heart trouble for the old lady. After hearing what the eldest princess said, the old lady felt at ease. She patted the eldest princess's hand and sighed: "This child Qingluan is really worrying, thank you I've bothered about her, I'm just afraid that Qingluan will let you down again because he doesn't know what to do."

At the beginning, the old lady intended to betroth her to the son of Prince Murong of her natal family, and entrusted the eldest princess to make peace with Emperor Ming. Although Emperor Ming agreed, it was not because of Qingluan's reluctance that he missed this good relationship in vain.

The eldest princess knew that the old lady couldn't let go of Qingluan, so she naturally wouldn't tell the old man the truth about how she took Qingluan down.

The eldest princess smiled and comforted the old lady and said: "Qingluan is not only the flesh and blood of the Duke's mansion, but also my niece. I should be responsible for worrying about her. I also went to see Qingluan when I entered the palace today. She said that the child was also frightened by the marriages of those imperial sisters, and worried that she would be sent to marry or marry someone who was wrong. When she learned that His Majesty agreed with our government to choose a husband for her, she felt at ease Come down and promise not to make trouble anymore, this child is worried that you are not at ease, and even wrote you a handwritten letter."

Saying so, the Eldest Princess took out from her sleeve pocket the letterhead that Qingluan handwritten under her "threat", and handed it to the old lady.

The old lady hurriedly opened the letter to read it, and saw that it was really a treasure. The granddaughter really said in the letter that she had read it and would wait for the government to make decisions about her marriage. The old lady finally felt at ease, and she even passed her illness Mostly.

Although Emperor Ming promised the government to intervene in Qingluan's marriage for the sake of the eldest princess, the old lady knew the importance of it, and she replied: "It is already a great favor for your majesty to let Qingluan marry with the children of Beijing, or Please Your Majesty and Princess choose a son-in-law for Qingluan."

One must know that Emperor Ming's many daughters were all married far away, and none of them were lucky enough to stay in Beijing. Isn't it a great favor for Qingluan to be treated like this.

The eldest princess agreed: "Mother-in-law, don't worry, I will definitely do my best to choose a good marriage for Qingluan, but you also know that I don't make friends with outsiders very much now. , and let me know, in short, we will work together and compare each other in order to choose a good son-in-law."

The eldest princess's daughter-in-law can plan for her granddaughter in this way, the old lady is naturally very pleased.

The old lady smiled and said to the eldest princess: "Now the boss and you are living a very good life, and the grandchildren have all married and established businesses. If Qingluan's marriage is settled again, I will have no regrets."

As she said that, the old lady sighed: "Now I am old too, and you and the boss have been traveling around all year round. Shu'er has really grown up after so many years of experience. This child is upright and safe in doing things. I plan to Completely hand over power and hand over this family to her."

Although Jing Shu is now the mistress of the palace, she only has the power to head the family. According to the rules of the rich and noble families, the power of the whole house must be in the hands of the oldest clan wife.

The eldest princess hurriedly replied: "This is against the rules. No matter how capable Shu'er is, she is still a junior. I'm afraid it's inappropriate for you to do this."

According to the etiquette, after the old lady passes away, the power will fall into the hands of the next mistress. It is really against the rules for the old lady to do this.But the old lady has plans for the old lady. Because of her granddaughter, she made it difficult for her granddaughter-in-law. Now that the eldest princess has come forward to settle Qingluan's matter satisfactorily, she naturally has to compensate her granddaughter-in-law, and she cannot let her granddaughter-in-law do it for nothing. Wronged.

The old lady smiled and said: "I'm getting worse day by day now, and I have to hand over the power sooner or later, so I might as well hand it over now, Zuo Shu'er is a good person, I feel very relieved to hand over this family to her. "

After seeing off the eldest princess, Madam Xu couldn't hold back and said, "Are you really planning to hand over the power right now?"

The old lady leaned on the couch and said with a smile: "If it wasn't for Qingluan, I would have waited a little longer. Shu'er has been wronged now, and she has always respected me. If I don't make some compensation , I’m really sorry, hey! After a few days, I’ll find a chance to hand over this power.”

While beating the old lady's legs, Xu Momo replied: "Mrs. Shizi is a sensible person, she must also understand your love for the princess, and she will definitely not blame you for the rift between you and you because of this matter."

The old lady sighed: "Shu'er is a good-natured person, I'm afraid that idiot will definitely blame me."

As she said that, the old lady couldn't help complaining: "Oh, this little ancestor Qingluan is really my fault."

Mother Xu comforted the old lady and said: "Since His Majesty has agreed to our princess to intervene in the princess's marriage, you will not worry about the princess's fate in the future. You don't have to worry about this matter all day long."

The master and the servant were chatting here, when the little girl outside came in with a food box and replied: "Old Madam, just now Mrs. Shizi ordered someone to bring you some food made by her novice."

Jing Shu is good at craftsmanship and caring. Whenever the old lady loses her appetite when she is ill, she will cook for the old lady by herself.

When Madam Xu heard that it was sent by Jingshu, she quickly reached out to take it, and laid it down on the small table at the edge of the collapse, smiling and saying: "This Mrs. Shizi is really a filial woman. , Oh! What's even more rare is that he has such a heart, which is really stronger than that of a man."

The old lady was still worried that her granddaughter-in-law would have a quarrel with her because of Qingluan, but now seeing that her granddaughter-in-law still treats her as usual, the old man's face became even more joyful, and he said proudly: "I'm sure I read it right. This granddaughter-in-law is indeed a person with a heart."

Madam Xu fed a bowl of finely made lily lotus seed porridge to the old lady, and praised: "Although this porridge is simple, it will be different once Mrs. Shizi's hands are used. It smells appetizing."

The old lady was eating a delicious meal, and couldn't help sighing: "Others say that Bo Yue is so dedicated, but they don't know that his daughter-in-law is too perfect. If you say that there are such women around you, who can compare with her?" It still catches the eye."

As she said that, the old lady shook her head and said: "Then how can Qingluan compare with others, hey! If she can catch up with Shu'er by half, I won't worry about her like this."
