The High Gate Mistress of Rebirth

Chapter 437
At the family banquet, everyone still sat around a round table to eat as they did in Zhen Guogong's mansion.

Now that Li Linggui is the emperor, even if he still treats everyone in the government as usual, everyone will inevitably feel a little awe of him in their hearts. In addition, he was originally a cold and silent person, and now he is wearing a dragon robe, which makes him even more majestic. Fortunately, Jing Shu has always been kind, and with the presence of a few young children, the meal was quite harmonious.

Qingluan was also there. Although she didn't dare to talk to Li Ling rashly, her eyes were still on Li Ling. I don't know if Li Ling cared about Qingluan. He never glanced at Qingluan, but she looked at him from time to time during the dinner To Jin Yan who has been depressed.

Jinyan is over double ten now, and has already reached the age of marriage, but she has never married since Zhou Jinkangzhi was dispatched to northern Xinjiang. The originally lively and cheerful girl has become more and more taciturn over the years.

It hurts just to look at it.

Li Ling was adopted by the Eldest Princess since he was born. Although his background is revealed now, his affection for the government remains the same.

Especially for Li Xiang and Jin Yan, they always treat them as brothers and sisters.

All these years, Li Ling has been thinking about Jin Yan's marriage. He glanced at Jin Yan and said casually, "I heard that the son of the Marquis of Zhongshun will be transferred back to the capital soon."

As soon as these words came out, everyone at the table was stunned. Jin Yanyuan opened her almond eyes and looked at Li Ling, and hurriedly asked, "Second brother, is this true?"

As soon as the words came out of her mouth, Jin Yan realized her gaffe, she immediately lowered her head shyly, and refused to speak, but her heart was pounding with excitement.

Seeing Li Ling's jokes, Jing Shu hurriedly annoyed him and said, "It's obvious that you ordered Zhou Shizi to be transferred back to the capital, and you're still trying to keep him here, it's really annoying."

Li Ling smiled at his wife, then looked at the shy Jin Yan, and said with a smile, "Zhou Jin will be able to return to Beijing next month."

Upon hearing this, Jinyan first raised her eyes to look at Li Ling in surprise, then lowered her head with a blushing face and muttered, "It's none of my business whether he comes back or not."

Li Ling deliberately said: "I didn't say that Zhou Jin's return is none of your business, but I transferred him back because of the shortage of people in Beijing."

When Jinyan heard this, she pulled the corner of Jingshu's clothes with a guilty conscience, and said coquettishly: "Sister-in-law, take care of the second brother. Now that he is the emperor, he can bully others at will."

Seeing his younger sister finally showing a smile, Li Ling smiled heartily.

That smile was clean and hearty, like the scorching sun in winter, shining brightly, reaching people's hearts.

Seeing that Qingluan's heart was sour, if it comes to talk, she is Li Ling's biological sister, but he still treats Jinyan better than her.

Qingluan wanted to cry.

Jinyan grew up under Jingshu's watch. She has always been close to this sister-in-law. Seeing Li Ling teasing her like this, Jingshu said to Li Ling persistently, "Don't be indifferent. Now we Yan Er is a big girl, you have to speak properly."

Li Ling looked at his wife, hurriedly replied yes, then picked up the chopsticks and put the vegetables on Jingshu's plate.

Although he has become an emperor, he still treats his wife so tenderly and dotingly.

Qingluan felt even more uncomfortable.

"I'm not feeling well, I have to go back first." Saying that, Qingluan got up and left without waiting for everyone's reaction.

She really couldn't stay any longer, if she didn't go out again, she couldn't help crying.

Even if Qingluan left with such resentment, Li Ling still didn't even look at her.

The marriage of the third girl has always been hanging in the old lady's heart. When she heard that Zhou Jin was finally transferred back to Beijing, the old lady didn't care about Qingluan anymore, so she hurriedly said to the third girl: "Your second brother is so busy, how can you still transfer you?" Take things to heart, you have to thank him well."

When the third girl heard this, she was so ashamed that she wanted to get under the table. She said coquettishly, "What are you talking about? What do I have to do with that Zhou Jin? You all came to wrong me, and I ignored you. "

Saying that, the third girl got up shyly and went outside the hall to find some nephews and nieces who were playing outside the hall.

As soon as she left, several people in the hall let go of their discussions.

The old lady said: "Jin Yan is now in her twenties, girls her age are already mothers, and this time the eldest son of the Zhou family returns, this marriage cannot be delayed any longer."

Xu Wanning followed suit and said: "Don't worry, grandma, the Zhou family has long been interested in our third girl, otherwise Zhou Jin would not have resisted the order."

The old lady was worried and said: "I remember that the eldest son of the Zhou family is a few years older than Jin Yan, and he is not married in northern Xinjiang right now?"

Li Ling didn't care much about these matters in the back house, but he couldn't ignore the matters related to Jinyan.

Seeing that the old lady had concerns, he replied straightforwardly: "If Zhou Jin is already married, why should I transfer him back? Jin Yan has been wasting all these years for her. If he is so heartless, I will let him live in Beijing. It is better to drink the northwest wind in Xinjiang for a lifetime."

After dinner in the palace, everyone in the palace left the palace and boarded their own carriages.

The old lady and the third girl were in the same car, and Xu Wanning was in the same car with the three children.

Brother Heng is still young, Pingyang did not bring him with him when he entered the palace this time, only brought his two daughters with him, Li Xiang was on duty in the palace earlier than everyone else, he came here on horseback, but when he returned home he was He abandoned his horse and followed Pingyang and the children into the carriage.

When a car came, there were three people sitting in it, now Li Xiang also sat in it, although it is not crowded, but it is not as relaxed as Pingyang Niang sitting with three people.

Pingyang didn't care, but the young sister Wan pouted: "Daddy can ride a horse, why does he want to ride with us?"

Li Xiang heard what the youngest daughter said, and replied with a smile: "It's dark now and it's cold outside, isn't Sister Wan afraid that Daddy will be cold?"

After hearing this, Sister Wan didn't answer, but looked at Pingyang at the side, and asked, "Mother wore a shawl when she came here early in the morning, why didn't she wear it now, it's getting cold at night."

Pingyang smiled and said to his little daughter: "Mother just drank a few sips of wine, and now she is very hot, she doesn't need to wear a shawl to stay cold."

Sister Qing who was at the side heard the words but couldn't help but put the shawl on Pingyang's body, and said thoughtfully: "Mother can't catch cold after drinking wine, otherwise she will get sick."

Pingyang embraced the two daughters in comfort, kissed and kissed the faces of the two sisters, and said with a smile: "Mother, you two little padded jackets hurt me, and I won't be cold for the rest of my life."

Sitting at the side, Li Xiang saw the warmth and love of the mother and daughter of Pingyang, but he felt a little uncomfortable in his heart.

The mother and daughter of Pingyang chatted and laughed all the way. Li Xiang just sat on the side and leaned against the car wall to doze off. After finally getting home, Li Xiang quickly jumped out of the car. He stood under the car and carried his little daughter out of the car first. , carried the eldest daughter out of the car, and when he stretched out his hand towards Pingyang, Pingyang leaned on the shaft of the car and jumped off lightly.

Pingyang held a daughter in one hand, the mother and daughter were still talking and laughing all the way, Li Xiang followed sullenly, he really wanted to blend in with his wife and daughter, but he didn't know what to do.
