The High Gate Mistress of Rebirth

Although Wang is a rough woman, she is not stupid. Besides, she has been an official wife for most of her life, and her mind is still stronger than ordinary women. When she saw that the empress mentioned that she wanted to enter the harem, she suddenly asked about her daughter , How could Mrs. Wang not understand the meaning of this.

Just now she was just uneasy seeing the nobleman, but this time she was really really scared.

She only has such a daughter, how could she be willing to let her enter the palace? Even if the current emperor is a wise king and the queen is lenient, but when the emperor was the son of the government, he did not have a concubine. Anyone who has opened their eyes can see that the Holy One only has the queen in his heart, so he looks down on other women.

Besides, her daughters are mediocre in terms of appearance and intelligence, not to mention that they are far different from the fairy-like empress in front of them, even the maids in this palace are more handsome than their own daughters.

When her daughter enters the palace, how can she be favored by saints? She is afraid that she will be alone in the vacant room for the rest of her life.

Wang's heart turned a thousand times, and in the blink of an eye, she scolded her husband a thousand times in her heart.

The smile on Wang's face could no longer be maintained, and she replied to Jing Shu with a bitter face: "I do have a daughter with Mrs. Zhang, but the little girl is cowardly and has a general appearance, so I don't mind mentioning it. "

Jing Shu still had a warm smile on her face, and she slowly replied: "Mrs. Zhang is modest, Mr. Zhang has a good character and has been clean all his life. I think his daughter is also a good one."

Mrs. Wang hurriedly replied: "Your Majesty, how dare you talk nonsense with the former concubine, the little girl is indeed of mediocre aptitude, and can't be compared with those noble girls in Beijing."

Jingshu slowly took a sip of the tea cup, then smiled at Mrs. Zhang again and said, "To tell the truth, this time I announce Mrs.'s entry into the palace, it is the intention to let my wife's daughter enter the palace as a concubine."

When Wang heard this, she was so frightened that she even gasped for breath. She hurriedly replied: "I can't do it, I can't do it, my lord, the little girl is stupid and born mediocre, how can she serve the Holy Majesty?"

Jing Shu smiled and said: "The Holy Majesty, he doesn't like beautiful women, nor does he like arrogant women. This palace also thinks that Master Zhang's family style is upright, and Qianjin's temperament is honest and responsible, so I have this plan."

"Your Majesty, you can't do that!" Wang was incoherent in shock, kneeling on her knees and pleading: "I only have such a girl, please take it back, my little girl has mediocre qualifications, she is really not a material to serve a saint."

Jing Shu helped Mrs. Zhang up with both hands, and replied: "Madam, don't be alarmed. If Madam really doesn't want Qianjin to enter the palace, I won't force you. It's a big matter. You'd better go back and discuss it with Mr. Zhang, Mr. Zhang." I wholeheartedly advise His Majesty to expand the harem, perhaps Master Zhang has a different idea from yours."

As soon as Wang Shi heard this, she understood in her heart, she bowed deeply to Jing Shu, and replied: "Your Majesty, let me go, I will definitely discuss it with my husband when I go back."

In the evening of this day, Mr. Zhang came back from his duty. As soon as he stepped into the house, he was punched by his old wife.

"You old man, the emperor doesn't accept his concubine, he did you a shit, you pestered him again and again, now it's all right, the empress actually wants to let our daughter into the palace."

"I have such a daughter here. If you don't know your mind and go all the way to the dark, you will kill our daughter. If there is something wrong with my daughter, you see, I will not fight you hard."

From the old wife's yelling and cursing, Lao Shangshu also understood the ins and outs of the matter. He was always afraid of the power of the old wife, so he turned around and ran away in fright.

As a result, a fierce battle broke out in Mr. Zhang's mansion.

The old man was running around in the yard, begging for mercy, and the old woman was chasing after him holding a fire stick, so startled that several old servants ran out one after another, trying to persuade him to make peace.

All of a sudden, all the people in Zhang's mansion were on their backs.

Master Zhang, who had been diligent all his life, did not come to court for the first time on the second day. On weekdays, this old Shangshu was always the first one to arrive no matter it was windy or rainy.

Later, some believers heard that it was Lao Shangshu who was beaten by his old wife the day before, which delayed the court meeting on the second day, and some said that Lao Shangshu, who had already reached the age of serving as an official, somehow figured it out. Yes, this time I finally plan to retire and return to my hometown, and some say that Lao Shangshu is busy looking for a son-in-law for his only daughter recently.

There were many rumors, but they disappeared after two days of spreading, but since then, no one has urged Li Ling to expand the harem according to the ancestral system.

Li Ling's enclosure reform was in full swing. He was worried that the following states and counties would not implement it properly, so he sent many confidants to supervise it.

On this day, before sunset, Li Xiang, who was sent by Li Ling to supervise, also returned to Beijing.He didn't rush to return to the palace, but turned back to the palace first.

Li Xiang got off his horse, threw the reins to the boy, and strode towards Xianglin Garden.

He had only been away from home for a month, but at this moment he was very urgent. After he entered the yard, Li Xiang's steps unconsciously accelerated, and he almost ran into the house.

When the maids in the house saw the master's return, they saluted and greeted him one after another, and rushed to prepare water for him to wash the dust.

Seeing that Pingyang was not outside, Li Xiang hurried into the inner room, but still did not see his wife, Li Xiang showed disappointment, and asked the maidservant, "Where is Madam?"

A little girl in the house replied: "If you go back to Shizi, Madam has gone back to Yizhou's mother's house."

"When did this happen?"

Li Xiang asked eagerly, and his brows gradually furrowed.

"Madam has been gone for more than twenty days."

Hearing this, Li Xiang stood blankly on the ground for a while, then rubbed his hands and hurriedly walked around the house twice.

"Master, the water is ready, do you want to wash first?"

Li Xiang didn't stop until the busy girls came to call, and he asked, "Why did Madam go back to Yizhou all of a sudden?"

The maids in the house are just rough envoys and maidservants, some of them shook their heads and replied: "This servant girl doesn't know."

Li Xiang gave the girls a white look, and asked angrily, "Where are Yuzhu and Lantian? Call them here."

"Sister Yuzhu accompanied his wife back to Yizhou, and sister Lantian is coaxing the young master to play in Baoxia."

Just as he was talking, Lan Tian led several children into the house. When Li Xiang saw Lan Tian, ​​he didn't wait for her to speak, so he took two steps forward and asked anxiously, "Why did Madam suddenly go back to Yizhou? Did she know anything before she left?" What do you have to say to me?"

Lan Tian replied: "The Holy Majesty wants to send my cousin to the northern border. Before he leaves, he will go back to Yizhou to visit my father. He will be escorted by my cousin, and my wife will also go back along the way."

When Li Xiang heard this, his face immediately became gloomy: "Why didn't she tell me that she was going back to her mother's house?"

Lan Tian replied: "Madam originally planned to write to the Shizi to inform you about this, but you are on a business trip and have to inspect many states and counties, and your residence is uncertain, so it is not convenient for Madam to inform you."
