The High Gate Mistress of Rebirth

Chapter 458 Choosing a Son-in-law
In the main hall, Li Ling sat at the head, and three or five young officials knelt on both sides.

From time to time, Li Ling asked a few young officials about the general situation of the world. Although these people were young, they were worthy of Li Ling's favorite heroes.

Jing Shu sat at the back of the hall, and she waved to her younger sister and said in a low voice: "These young officials are favored by your brother-in-law, come and have a look, if you see any one that catches your eye, just tell the elder sister that is."

Shen Jingxuan waved her hands repeatedly, stubbornly refusing to go forward, Ziyun forced her to go behind the screen, and then she quietly looked into the hall.

But she only glanced at it, then quickly shrank back, leaned into Jing Shu's ear and said, "Elder Sister, why can't I understand a word of what those people are talking about?"

Jing Shu smiled and said: "They are talking freely about national affairs, it's okay, you just don't understand them, just see which one of them catches your eye."

Shen Jingxuan's little face was as red as a ripe peach, and she faltered: "Where did I come up with this idea, I just let my eldest sister decide. As long as you and your brother-in-law are in love, you can't be wrong."

Li Ling chose these young people for Shen Jingxuan. Jingshu already knew their family backgrounds, personalities, abilities, and abilities. She pulled the younger sister to the inner hall aside, and said to her: "That Next to your brother-in-law, the young man sitting on the lower left is the only son of Mr. Li, the servant of the household department. He was in Chunwei High School last year. He was able to write poetry at the age of six and literature at the age of eight. Steady, your brother-in-law liked his talent and character, so he was selected as the number one scholar in the palace examination, and now he is Shaoqing in the Dali Temple."

When Shen Jingxuan heard this, she immediately shook her head and said: "Eldest sister, I can't afford this. You know I'm not proficient in writing and ink. I'm really under pressure to be with such a talented person. I can't do it."

Jing Shu said again: "The one sitting on the right side of your brother-in-law is the eldest son of the Duke of Jin."

As soon as Jingshu opened her mouth, Shen Jingxuan interrupted: "Is that the Duke of Jin who married the eldest princess of the previous dynasty?"

Jing Shu nodded and said: "Yes, the mother of this son is my mother-in-law's concubine, Princess Fule."

Shen Jingxuan waved her hand again and said: "Forget it, forget it, there is a princess as a mother-in-law, how can a clumsy person like me serve her."

Jing Shu smiled and said: "Not all princesses are as difficult to get along with as you think. When I was in the mansion, my mother-in-law was a princess. She treats people very well and protects me very much. "

Shen Jingxuan smiled at the elder sister: "That's because elder sister, you are outstanding in every way, how can I compare."

This is not flattery, her elder sister is really strong in every way. The elder sister was a little fairy since she was a child, and she will also be a big fairy when she grows up. The elder sister is a woman on the cloud, and she is destined to match an outstanding woman like Li Ling. man.And she is just a yellow-haired girl, Shen Jingxuan feels oppressed when she thinks about those talented people and noble children in their bones.

As she said that, Shen Jingxuan squinted her eyes and smiled at her elder sister, and said mischievously: "Eldest sister, don't blame me for not being up to date, these people are too good, I really don't deserve them."

Although Shen Jingxuan is pure, she is transparent. She is well aware of her own shortcomings. Although their Shen family is now a high-ranking family in Beijing, their father is the head of the state, and the elder sister is the queen, but Shen Jingxuan Knowing that these are all thanks to the emperor's brother-in-law, she is just an extremely ordinary girl.

In terms of appearance, she is far less beautiful than her elder sister, even Shen Jinglan is more beautiful than her.In terms of background, her mother was just a maidservant, and she had done many wrong things.In terms of temperament, she lost her mother since she was young, and her father is old, so she has no one to discipline her, and she is incomparable with those ladies who have been tempered since childhood.

The only thing she is better than others is that she has an elder sister who is a queen and loves her very much.

Jing Shu loves young girls, so she naturally thinks that she is good in everything. She doesn't feel that her younger sister is inferior to those pretentious noble girls. people love.

Shen Jingxuan saw the elder sister's face slightly annoyed, she hesitated and said: "Then how about elder sister choose one for me from among them, the one who is talented doesn't need to be too high, the family background doesn't have to be so prominent, and also, it doesn't have to be so handsome That's it."

Jing Shu was stunned by the young girl and burst out laughing, she sighed slightly and said, "Forget it, since you didn't notice these things, let's just think about it, why bother."

When Shen Jingxuan heard the words, it was like an amnesty. She hurriedly helped her elder sister up, and said: "Then let's go quickly, this is the place where my brother-in-law discusses national affairs, and I feel uncomfortable staying here."

Jing Shu took her younger sister out of the Palace of Qinzheng, and the oncoming female official replied, "Your Majesty, the eldest wife and the eldest wife of Zhen Guogong's mansion have come into the palace."

Jing Shu nodded and said, "Let's welcome them into Jiaofang Hall."

As she said that, she took Shen Jingxuan straight to Jiaofang Hall.

When Jingshu returned to the palace, Xu Wanning and Pingyang had just arrived, and the sisters-in-law and the others sat down after greeting each other. Jingshu took her younger sister and introduced, "This is my natal younger sister. Do sister-in-law and Pingyang still remember?"

Xu Wanning looked Shen Jingxuan up and down, and said with a smile, "I remember it was called Xuan'er, right?"

Shen Jingxuan hurriedly bowed to the two wives: "Sister-in-law has good eyesight. I am Xuan'er. When I was young, I often went to play in the palace. My sister-in-law even gave me gifts."

Xu Wanning saw that Shen Jingxuan was eloquent, without the coy attitude of a little girl, and her attitude was sincere and polite, which made people feel close when they met. She got up and held Shen Jingxuan's hand, and looked up and down again. Fan, praised: "This child has really grown into a big girl. Although she is not particularly outstanding in appearance, she is pleasing to the eye."

Jingshu knows that Xu Wanning has always been a quick-talking and straightforward person, she just covered her mouth and snickered, but Ping Yang couldn't help teasing Xu Wanning and said: "The little girl is at the age of beauty, how can you boast so much. "

It was only then that Xu Wanning realized that she had made a slip of the tongue, and quickly made amends: "Oh! Look at my mouth, I was so happy to see this child that I couldn't choose what to say. Xuan'er must not make fun of sister-in-law."

Shen Jingxuan replied with a smile: "I was far less well-born than elder sister, sister-in-law is telling the truth."

Xu Wanning said: "How many people are as beautiful as your eldest sister, don't compare yourself to her, you are already top-notch among girls like you."

Shen Jingxuan was so amused by Xu Wanning's words that she laughed innocently, and said bluntly: "Sister-in-law, don't cover up for me. My appearance is barely average, so just tell the truth. When I was young, I went to the government to visit my elder sister. My sister-in-law often gives me presents, and I remember your kindness, even if you tell the truth, I won't bother you."
