The High Gate Mistress of Rebirth

Chapter 446
It has been half a year since Li Ling ascended the throne, and the imperial court has settled down. Brother Xuan and Sister Bao have started their studies step by step. Jing Shu is also six or seven months pregnant at this time. Her pregnancy is improving, and the fetal position is also good. stable.

The life of Jingshu's family in the palace has settled down, and she plans to go back to her natal home.

Since Li Ling ascended the throne, although Jing Shu sent people back to the Shen Mansion to visit her father and younger siblings every now and then, she herself did not visit once. Not removed, for the sake of safety, it is impossible for Jing Shu to leave the palace rashly.

Now that the front court and the harem are all in order, Jing Shu can finally go back to her mother's house to have a look with peace of mind.

Although Li Ling was busy, he insisted on going back to Shen's residence together with Jing Shu.

Jingshu went back this time, although she repeatedly emphasized the need to keep a low profile, but the empress returned to the province, and the ostentation was not small. The guard of honor alone took up half the street. It is countless.

Shen's father has already retired, but now that he is the head of the state, Li Ling has ordered someone to change the Shen residence.

Jing Shu was helped out of the luan car by the female officer, she looked at the prominent Shen's residence, and could hardly believe her eyes.

She couldn't help but look sideways at Li Ling, and gave him a grateful smile.

Li Ling didn't say a word, but held his wife's hand tightly and led her forward.

The Jiang family had already waited outside the second gate with a family of young and old. After seeing the emperor, everyone knelt together. Li Ling stepped forward hurriedly, helped Shen's father up, and said, "Father-in-law is like this, what a shameful son-in-law!" gone."

Shen's father hurriedly said: "National rituals cannot be discarded."

The family exchanged pleasantries for a while, and then entered Shen's mansion in a hurry.

The current Shen Mansion's house was given by Emperor Ming when the former crown prince Zhao Bi was demoted to King Lu.This mansion was built according to the specifications of the prince, and its magnificence is comparable to that of a capital in central Beijing. However, before Zhao Bi moved here from the Central Palace, he and Empress Cao launched a conspiracy and were punished.Li Ling loved his wife very much, so naturally he also loved Wu Jiwu and cared about Shen's residence, so after he ascended the throne, he gave the Shen family this luxurious residence that Zhao Bi had not had time to enjoy in the future.

Li Ling not only bestowed the Shen family with a luxurious mansion, but also bestowed the father of the state, Shen's father, as a first-class public minister, and made him the Duke of Xiangguo, and the title was hereditary.

The Shen family, which is just a low-ranking family of officials in the capital, has become the top family in the capital thanks to the eldest daughter Shen Jingshu, and no one dares to belittle them.

Now, Jingshu's younger siblings, Shen Xing and Shen Jingxuan, have also grown up. This year, Shen Xing was 16 years old and Shen Jingxuan was 17 years old.

The elder sister has always been kind to the elder sister and her brother, and seeing the elder sister in the phoenix robe returning home, although Shen Jinglan did not dare to make a fuss because of her father's presence, she kept her eyes on the elder sister, and looked at the elder sister when she saw the opportunity. Jing Shu winks secretly.

Jing Shu didn't understand the young girl's thoughts, after she and Li Ling chatted with Shen's father for a while, Jing Shu left the Weng and son-in-law, who were having a good time chatting, and only said that they wanted to visit the new mansion, so they took the child with them. They and Shen Jingxuan left the main hall.

When the two sisters sat down and chatted outside in the pavilion, Shen Jingxuan was no longer so reserved. She looked at the elder sister in phoenix robe and said with admiration: "Elder sister is so blessed that she is actually a queen. So, isn't being a queen particularly majestic?"

Jing Shu glanced at the young girl's innocent face, and replied with a smile: "Being a queen has something to worry about, and it's not like you can do whatever you want."

As she said that, Jing Shu mentioned something serious, and asked Shen Jingxuan: "Father wrote to me a few days ago, saying that he is going to find a husband's family for you, what do you think?"

Shen Jing Lanxuan has always been close to the eldest sister, and she was not shy when she heard the words, she just replied generously: "For this matter, the eldest sister and father just find out for me. The eldest sister knows that I have always had a bad eye. I don't even know how to dress myself, and I need my eldest sister to give me advice, let alone such important matters as marriage."

As she said that, she looked at Jingshu and smiled innocently: "I only listen to my father and elder sister. I will marry whoever you ask me to marry."

Shen Jingxuan has a gentle personality and a very simple mind.

Jing Shu glanced at the young girl, and asked persuasively: "In the end, getting married is your own business. Although my father and I can make decisions for you, you have to know in your own heart. What kind of man do you like? Tell me what kind of man you like." Once you talk about it, I can also help you find someone who is targeted.”

Naturally, Shen Jingxuan couldn't tell her father such private words, but she was able to confide in her elder sister Jingshu.

Hearing this, Shen Jingxuan's eyes moved slightly, she thought for a while, and replied: "I'm not smart and capable, and I don't ask my in-law's family to be prominent, as long as I can live comfortably. , the most important thing is that mother-in-law can't be too difficult, don't be so angry with me."

Jing Shu smiled, and replied: "These fathers and I will naturally consider carefully. Now I just ask what kind of man you like, for example, those who are gentler, or those who are capable and motivated. Do you like civil servants or military generals?" ?”

Now Shen Jingxuan finally turned her head around, she thought for a while, and replied: "It's better to be a civil servant, military commanders are too dignified, I like to get along with gentle people, hehe, elder sister knows I'm a coward small."

Jing Shu knew that the younger sister was secretly referring to Li Ling, Li Ling was a dignified and solemn man, Shen Jingxuan froze when she saw him, with such a brother-in-law as an example, the younger girl even killed all the generals now.

Jing Shu nodded and said: "Then Elder Sister will find a civil servant for you."

Shen Jingxuan hurriedly said: "One more thing, he should be as dedicated as the emperor's brother-in-law to the eldest sister, but not as carefree as the second brother-in-law."

Shen Jingxuan mentioned Shen Jinglan inadvertently, she stopped her mouth in a hurry, and said with an embarrassed smile: "I'm sorry elder sister, I know you and second sister are unhappy, I didn't mean to mention her."

Although Jingshu and Shen Jingxuan are biological sisters, they are half-brothers. Speaking of it, Shen Jingxuan and Shen Jinglan are closer than her.

Jingshu replied: "It doesn't matter, don't make things difficult for me and Shen Jinglan, you just get along with us with your own heart, but don't worry about me and deliberately alienate anyone."

Shen Jingxuan nodded at Jingshu, and said: "Oh! The eldest sister may not know that since the second sister secretly married into the Yongping Hou Mansion, the father has not allowed the second sister to go home, hey! I went secretly I have met my second sister a few times. She has lived a very difficult life in the Yongping Hou Mansion all these years. Her mother-in-law treated her harshly and embarrass her everywhere. The second sister has hurt her body since the miscarriage, and she has not been able to give birth all these years. The second brother-in-law has already grown tired of her, and took several concubines in succession, and now he won't even enter her room."

Shen Jinglan used all means to marry a high family back then, but she didn't know that this high family also faced many hardships, if she had no special qualities, how could she gain a firm foothold.

Jingshu taught her younger sister: "Your second sister has more spirit than virtue, so she ended up in a miserable situation. You should not learn from her."

Shen Jingxuan quickly reassured Jingshu: "Don't worry, elder sister. With the lesson learned by the second sister, although I am stupid, I will definitely respect and love myself. I will not learn from her."

The two sisters were talking to each other here, when the steward at the door came in and replied to Shen Jingxuan hesitantly: "Miss San, Miss Second is here, the master ordered her not to enter the door, but Miss Second is outside the gate of the mansion. If you refuse to leave, you can see what to do."
