The High Gate Mistress of Rebirth

In the Hall of Qinzheng, several important ministers are admonishing.

Master Li, the imperial censor of the Imperial College, said: "Shen Xing is only [-] years old. In this palace examination, it may be inappropriate for His Majesty to select him as the No. [-] Scholar."

Li Ling replied: "The depth of knowledge has nothing to do with age."

The elder Xu Ge of the cabinet remonstrated: "Shen Xing is indeed talented, but he is the queen's younger brother, if your Majesty chooses him as the No. "

Li Ling said in a deep voice: "I only look at learning, not about background, Shen Xing is the Queen's brother, but it is also true that he has profound knowledge."

Old Chen Ge said bluntly: "I still advise Your Majesty to think twice, making Shen Xing the number one scholar, it will definitely make people in the world feel that His Majesty is partial to the Shen family, and this will affect His Majesty's reputation."

"The minister reconsidered."

"The minister also reconsidered."

Li Ling glanced at all the officials, "I just want to favor the Shen family, so what can I do?" Li Ling turned cold and said resolutely: "I have lost my mind, so don't say any more."

"Go back."

The veterans had no choice but to withdraw from the imperial study angrily.

When they reached the gate of Qinzheng Hall, several people couldn't help discussing angrily. Li Dequan, who was guarding the gate, saw this, and leaned forward and said in a low voice: "Our family advises the adults not to persuade this matter again."

Lord Li rolled his eyes at Li Dequan, and said with a sullen face: "We are important ministers at the court, how can we see His Majesty making mistakes and not speak out."

Li Dequan laughed and remained silent.

Chen Ge was the oldest and had the highest official position. He sighed slightly, lowered his voice and asked Li Dequan, "Dare to ask Mr. Li, how is your majesty's phoenix body?"

Li Dequan shook his head slightly, sighed and said: "Your Majesty has invited all the famous doctors in the world, but your body just doesn't look good."

Chen Gel remained silent for a long time, and murmured: "Every day your Majesty's illness gets better, His Majesty's temper will become more irritable every day, hey! What should we do?"

Li Dequan glanced at Mr. Chen Gel, and said in a low voice: "So, our family advises you not to bother Your Majesty with the palace examination. Your Majesty is deliberately flattering the Shen family in order to please the empress. Don't the adults see that?" come out?"

Old Chen Ge stroked his gray beard and remained silent, but Master Li said angrily with a wooden face: "Your Majesty is Mingjun, can I wait and see His Majesty being criticized by the world?"

Li Dequan made a 'ho' sound, and said: "Oh, it's just a top pick, it's not impossible, Mr. Li is serious."

Mr. Li is an upright person, upon hearing the words, he assumed the posture of an eternal loyal minister who wanted to admonish him as a dead criminal in the imperial study room, but could not kneel down.

Li Dequan hurriedly grabbed him, and said earnestly: "Your Excellency is loyal, and the world can learn from it, but you have to be more clear-headed."

"Don't you understand the weight of the Empress in His Majesty's heart?"

Mr. Li wanted to argue again, Li Dequan waved his hands and said: "If your lord wants to serve Mingjun, then you should pray day and night for the empress to get better soon, otherwise, hehehe"

Li Dequan didn't say any more, he waved his hands at several ministers and said, "Your Majesty will go to visit your empress soon, so please leave quickly, my lords."

Elder Xu Ge tugged at Master Li's cuffs, and the veterans sighed and left helplessly.

When Li Ling came to the palace, Jing Shu was leaning on the bed talking to several children.

Today is a day off from school. Early in the morning, brother Xuan brought his younger siblings to the palace to visit his mother.

When the children saw Li Ling, they saluted respectfully. Li Ling smiled and said, "Don't keep disturbing mother's rest."

This is the meaning of driving them away. These days, father always likes to be alone with mother.

The children were also sensible, and after hearing this, they said goodbye to their mother and left the inner hall.

After the children went out, Jing Shu looked at Li Ling and asked, "You selected Xing'er to be the champion, didn't you?"

Li Ling sat down beside his wife, and he was full of praise for Shen Xing, "Xing'er has been ambitious since he was a child. He has studied hard all these years, and his knowledge has really exceeded my expectations. In the imperial examination, he has rough chest. Talking with eloquence, not to mention me, even those veterans from the cabinet and the Imperial College are all full of praise for Xinger."

"It's not that I intend to show favoritism, but this champion, Xing'er is none other than Xing'er."

As for her younger brother's knowledge, Jing Shu knew in her heart that it was true that Shen Xing was talented, but he was not as talented as Li Ling praised.

Being selected as the No. [-] scholar was purely due to Li Ling's selfishness.

Jing Shu looked at Li Ling and said, "I know you did this to make me happy, but if that's the case, your fame will be affected, I'm really uneasy."

Hearing what his wife said, Li Ling leaned over and kissed her gently on the forehead, and said in a low voice, "I've been thinking about it recently, you and I have worked tirelessly for me for so many years, and now you are seriously ill, I, Li Ling, have never done anything for you, Shu'er, Xing'er's matter is settled like this, don't try to persuade me."

Jing Shu was surprised by what Li Ling said, and she replied: "Why do you say that, these years, your care and love for me is enough to make any woman in the world envy."

She took her husband's hand: "You have really done a lot for me. I am really content and happy to be your wife in this life."

Li Ling smiled, kissed his wife again, and said softly, "I just don't think I've done enough for you."

Jing Shu laughed, and Li Ling asked her the reason, Jing Shu replied: "You are really more and more sweet talkers now, remember when we first got married? It is as difficult as climbing the sky for you to say a good word, and You have a cold face every day, which is scary."

Li Ling touched his face subconsciously, and asked doubtfully, "I was really like what you said?"

Jing Shu nodded and said: "Isn't it? It took me a lot of effort to communicate with you at that time."

Hearing this, Li Ling hurriedly asked: "Then did you really regret marrying me at that time, did you really bother me?"

Recalling what happened when they just got married, Jing Shu laughed, and replied: "It's not that I bother you, but I love you far less than I do now. At that time, I even thought about reconciling with you."

When Li Ling heard this, his face immediately darkened, and he said angrily to his wife, "I didn't know that, so you had such a thought before."

Jing Shu retorted: "Who told you that you were so cold at that time that people couldn't get close to you."

Li Ling tried hard to recall what he was like in the past. To be honest, he couldn't remember much, but he and his wife can vividly remember every detail.

Li Ling said with a smile: "I remember when we first got married, you kept your eyebrows low and pleasing to me all day long, but then suddenly changed."

"If you have a small temper, you'll throw me a face if you don't move."

"Once, he scratched me with a hairpin and drove me to the study, not letting me come back."

Jing Shu laughed: "When did this happen? I don't even remember."

She rolled her eyes at Li Ling: "You are a real person, can't you remember something about others?"
