The High Gate Mistress of Rebirth

Jing Shu smiled, looked at her son and replied, "Of course the queen mother is thinking of you."

As she spoke, she looked around and asked, "Why don't you let the palace people serve you? It's just that you don't like crowds, so you should leave someone to help you grind."

Brother Xuan replied: "My son always liked to be clean when he was studying, and it turned out that Sister Dongqing served alone. Today, at the mother's place, it was said that some palace people in the East Palace would be removed. My son thought that Sister Dongqing was about to grow old, so he I wanted to let her out, so I didn't let her serve."

When Jing Shu heard this, she said in surprise: "Okay, why did you let Dong Qing out?"

Brother Xuan smiled and replied: "Mother, even if we are the royal family, we shouldn't keep him here forever, should we?"

It is true that female officials can choose to go out of the palace to marry when they reach the age of Jiji. These girls can be selected as officials in the palace, which means they can enjoy the imperial salary for the rest of their lives. Because of this honor, these girls are very popular to marry.

But whether to leave the palace or not depends on one's own wishes, and there are those who are reluctant to leave the palace, and they can stay if they don't want to go out.

After hearing what her son said, Jing Shu asked, "Is this what Dong Qing meant?"

Brother Xuan replied: "That's not true. It's just that since she is old, the boy is thinking about letting her out as soon as possible, so that she can find a lover earlier, isn't it?"

Jing Shu looked at her son and said, "It's so hard to meet a smart kid who can meet your wishes, so it's a pity to leave like this."

Not everyone can do school books, because it is necessary to serve the master to study, for example, when the master gets excited while studying, it is necessary to be able to have a chat with him.

Brother Xuan is smart and eager to learn. He selected many female officials in the past, but they were all far from the prince in terms of talent, learning and thinking.

Brother Xuan replied: "Dongqing is gone, just pick one carefully, it's not a big deal."

Seeing her son's insistence, Jing Shu didn't say much anymore, but she still felt sorry for Dong Qing in her heart.

Brother Xuan looked at his mother and said, "Is there some other reason why my mother is reluctant to part with Dongqing?"

"Does the queen mother want her to be your son's attendant?"

Jing Shu didn't expect her son to know her own thoughts, she was stunned for a moment, but she didn't know how to answer him.

She looked at the eldest son who was half a head taller than herself, and suddenly felt that her son had really grown up.

He actually knows his own mind so well.

"Mother, I just wanted to tell you that my son doesn't want to be a servant in the future, so please don't worry about my son."

When Brother Xuan said this, Jing Shu was shocked again.

But then I thought about it, he is Li Ling's son, his temperament is just like his father's, and it's not the time yet, so don't worry, even if he really doesn't want to be a servant in the future, it's not a big deal .

Jing Shu smiled, and replied: "This matter will take another two years to discuss. Since you don't want to keep Dong Qing, I will order someone to ask her opinion. If she wants to go out, just let her go."

On the second day, Jingshu ordered people to announce that Concubine Li was here. Concubine Li did not expect the empress to give her an answer so quickly. She hurriedly followed the female officer to the Jiaofang Hall. Because she was anxious, she even tripped when entering the hall. I fell, but fortunately, I was supported by the female officer, so I didn't fall.

When she saw Jing Shu, she insisted on kneeling down again. Jing Shu ordered someone to help her up, and went straight to the topic: "The concubine invited me yesterday, and I mentioned it to Your Majesty. Send her back to the concubine's mother's house as a concubine."

Concubine Li heard this suddenly, she didn't turn around for a while, and said anxiously: "If this is the case, our mother and daughter will still have to be separated. I also know that it is impossible for Qing He to restore her princess status. It's fine if she stays quietly by my side, even if she is allowed to be a court lady, as long as she can keep her daughter by my side, the concubine will die without regret."

As she spoke, Concubine Li choked up and began to cry again.

Jingshu said slowly: "I understand the concubine's longing for a daughter, but have you ever thought about it, if Qinghe is left in the palace as a maid, how will she live after a hundred years from you? Spend the rest of your life alone in the deep palace?"

Concubine Li stopped crying, raised her eyes and asked: "Then what does the empress mean to let Qinghe go back to my natal family, and then find someone else to marry?"

Jing Shu nodded, and replied, "This is exactly what I mean."

Concubine Li hesitated and said: "It's just that Qinghe is like this now, how can he find a good family?"

Seeing that she was not enlightened, Jing Shu persuaded her patiently: "The concubine, let's take a long-term view. Qinghe is not yet thirty. Although she has already passed the age of marriage, she is still young, and there is hope after all. If you detain her in the deep palace, there are many people in the palace who know her. How do you let her face gossip? Give it a go."

"According to what I said, the concubine's natal family is a wealthy family in Qingzhou. The elder brother in the family is now the official governor of Qingzhou. He even wrote to His Majesty to inquire about your situation a while ago. It can be seen that he is a person of great affection. The concubine invited Qinghe back to her natal family. , there is no need to worry that she will be treated harshly."

Concubine Li heard these words, she suddenly realized, and quickly replied: "My concubine's natal brothers and sisters-in-law are all loyal people, if Qing He is sent to them, the brothers and sisters-in-law will definitely treat her kindly."

As she said that, she looked at Jing Shu gratefully: "I'm really confused, what your mother said woke me up." She got up and bowed solemnly to Jing Shu: "Thank you, my mother, for your kindness."

Jing Shu hurriedly asked Ziyun to help her up, and replied: "Although the seventh princess made a mistake, she was still young and ignorant at that time, and I don't want to see her ruin her life because of her youthful spirit. "

These words touched Concubine Li's heart, she couldn't help wiping her tears and said: "Your Majesty is really kind, I will tell you that I have never lived a good life since I entered this deep palace at the age of 16. In the past, the Meng family Domineering, but all favored concubines will be suppressed by her, the concubine is pregnant with a dragon seed by accident, fortunately, she is a daughter, these are protected from the murderous hands, I never thought that this kind of thing happened again before my daughter waited for her Son, oops! I thought that our mother and daughter would have nothing to count on in this life, but I really didn't expect that a Bodhisattva like you came to the palace and can make decisions for us."

Jingshu replied: "In the final analysis, Qinghe is also a close relative of this palace and His Majesty, so I naturally hope that she will be successful in the future."

She only thought that Concubine Li was eager to miss her daughter, and said: "If you agree to this matter, I will return to the Supreme Emperor. If the Supreme Emperor agrees, I will arrange for you mother and daughter to meet, and then send Qinghe to Qingzhou. .”
