The High Gate Mistress of Rebirth

Chapter 444 Companion Reading
On this day, Jingshu invited a few noble ladies with school-age daughters into the palace, and wanted to choose a few young ladies to accompany Sister Bao as companions.

This is a good thing that will greatly benefit the future of their own daughters, so the people selected by Jingshu are very concerned about it. Before Xiangwu, the noble ladies brought their young daughters into the palace.

Among these little girls, Jing Shu already has two favorite candidates in her heart, one is Pingyang's eldest daughter Qing, and the other is Murong Lizhu's daughter Xue.

These two children are the same age as Princess Bao, and both have good temperaments. For such a good thing, Jing Shu naturally wants to let her family come first.

Jing Shu set up a palace banquet in the front hall of Jiaofang Hall. Jing Shu was in the first place, and several ladies and their daughters lined up on both sides. Asked: "Do you like to come to the palace to play?"

Among them, Chen Zhaozhao, the little granddaughter of Chen Gelao, the chief assistant of the cabinet, is the oldest, one year older than Sister Bao. The flowers in our mansion are taller, and the flowers in the palace are more beautiful, I like to come to the palace to play."

The little girl from the Chen family was born extremely dignified, and she was also the most forthright among the few girls, Jingshu nodded in satisfaction and said, "Then Zhaozhao, would you like to come to the palace every day?"

Zhao Zhao nodded and agreed, "I like the palace, and I am willing to come every day."

Jing Shu ordered the female officer to reward the little girl with a plate of sweet cakes on the table. At a young age, Chen Zhaozhao was also well-mannered and polite to thank Jing Shu.

Jingshu then asked the other little girls, "Sister Zhaozhao likes to come to the palace, who else likes it?"

Sister Qing replied: "I also like to come to the palace, because in the palace I can see my second aunt and sister Bao."

As soon as Sister Qing's words fell, Pingyang on the side angrily said to her daughter in a low voice: "How many times have I told you, mother, that I want to be called empress."

Calling the second aunt for so many years, how can a child change his mouth so easily, Jingshu said to Pingyang: "Kids, don't hold her back."

As she said that, Jing Shu greeted Sister Qing and said, "Come on, Sister Qing is coming to Auntie."

When Jing Shu was in the mansion, the children liked to be close to her. After hearing Jing Shu's words, Sister Qing immediately ran over, called "Second Aunt" sweetly, and sat down beside her.

Princess Bao, who was sitting beside Jing Shu, winked at Qing Jie quietly, and said in a low voice, "It's all for a while, I'll take you to the Royal Garden to play."

Sister Qing happily nodded at Princess Bao, caught a glimpse of Pingyang's warning gaze, secretly stuck out her tongue, and quickly sat down obediently by Jingshu's side.

Jingshu saw Zhou Lan, the daughter of the second wife's son of Zhongshunhou's mansion, sitting beside her mother all the time, she asked with a smile, "Does Lan'er like the palace?"

Lan'er glanced at her mother first, then nodded.

Zhou Lan's mother, Mrs. Xu, said angrily to her daughter, "Your Majesty asks you a question, and you must answer it carefully."

Zhou Lan hurriedly replied, "I like it."

Jingshu asked again: "Why does Lan'er like Gongli?"

Hearing this, the little girl looked up at her mother Xu, who said angrily to her daughter, "Your Majesty is asking you something, just answer it."

Only then did Zhou Lan look at Jingshu again, and replied with a hint of timidity: "My mother said that the palace is good, so I like it."

Tong Yanwuji's words made everyone laugh.

Although Miss Zhou's family was a bit timid compared to other young ladies, Jing Shu liked the child's innocence, and smiled and ordered the female officer to reward her with a snack.

Zhou Lan took the snack and asked her mother for instructions. Mrs. Xu shook her head helplessly, sighed and said, "Your Majesty rewarded me, you must thank me."

Only then did the little girl come to her senses, she was about to kneel down to thank Jing Shu, but Jing Shu stopped her and said, "Kids, don't be too polite."

Saying that, Jingshu asked the sister Xue beside Murong Lizhu: "Would you like to come to the palace to play every day?"

Sister Xue didn't answer directly, but asked Jingshu back: "Dare to ask your mother, do you come to the palace every day just to play?"

Jing Shu replied with a smile: "Not only playing, but also studying with the Taifu and the female teacher, learning piano, chess, calligraphy and painting, etc. In short, besides playing, you can learn a lot of things."

Sister Xue replied: "There is also a female teacher in my mansion, who teaches me how to read and write and play the piano every day."

Sister Xue is two years younger than her own daughter, and she is already enlightened. It can be seen that Jiang Youchen and Murong Lizhu teach their daughters well, and Jing Shu couldn't help but secretly complained about Li Ling again.

Jing Shu beckoned to Sister Xue, the little girl got up and walked to Jing Shu, Jing Shu looked at Wen Jing's little cousin and niece carefully, and asked softly: "Then would you like to come to the palace to have some friendship with you?" Ordinary girls study and study together?"

Sister Xue thought for a while, and replied: "It's not impossible, but if I see that the masters in the palace are not as good as the female teachers in the mansion, can I still go back to the mansion to learn?"

Jing Shu didn't expect such a young child to have such considerations, she nodded at Sister Xue and said: "Of course, Sister Xue can learn from any master, she can make her own decisions."

Only then did Sister Xue nod her head and said, "Then I'll go to the palace and study for a while."

The little girl is very arrogant, and it is quite difficult to please.

Jing Shu touched her little niece's head curiously, nodded and said, "Okay, Auntie listens to Sister Xue."

Jing Shu chatted with the little girls who entered the palace one by one, and she already had a plan in mind. When the children were full, Jing Shu ordered the female officer to take the little girls to play. In the pavilion, women sip tea and chat while watching the children playing happily.

In the second half of the day, the noble ladies left the palace with their own women. Jingshu called her daughter and asked: "The little girls that my mother recruited today, which ones do you like? I will go to the study with you to study and study in the future."

Sister Xiaobao blinked, and said simply: "I didn't like any of them."

Jing Shu said in amazement: "There are so many friends, why didn't you like any of them?"

Sister Bao pouted and said, "Just now when we were playing together, I asked them who could ride a horse, but none of them knew how to ride a horse. What's the fun in that?"

For a family of daughters, Li Ling was the first to be taught to ride a horse by her father when she was only five or six years old.

Seeing her daughter like this, Jing Shu couldn't help but blame Li Ling again.

After teaching her daughter so wildly, she really doesn't look like a girl now.

Jing Shu looked at her little daughter and replied: "If you want to ride a horse, you just need to be accompanied by your father and brother, but now you go to study in the study every day, these little girls are chosen by your mother to study with you. "

After hearing this, Sister Bao said: "Sister Qing is my younger sister. When we were in the palace, we played together, so we let her come to the palace to study together. And Sister Xue, cousin, among these little girls , she is the prettiest, and my mother will let her come, as for the others, my mother can choose by herself, I have no objection."
