The High Gate Mistress of Rebirth

Chapter 573 Self-cultivation

It's New Year's Eve in a blink of an eye.

Although Jingshu's health was already recovering, Li Ling couldn't bear his wife's hard work, so he canceled all the court banquets in the palace. Only on New Year's Eve, he invited Princess Fuxi and the Supreme Emperor to have a family reunion dinner.

Since Princess Fuxi reconciled with Duke Zhen, the old couple spent half of the year traveling abroad. The husband sang and the wife followed, and the relationship was deep. Because of the good mood, although the Princess Fuxi was over fifty years old, she did not look old at all. Her spirit was better than before, and she was smiling all day long.

The Taishanghuang has always been in poor health. He was hit by the arrow of the former prince, which hurt his foundation. Fortunately, his life is more restrained now, and he is no longer as extravagant as he used to be.

He is like this, not because of her reformation, but because a self-disciplined son like Li Ling has become the emperor, the atmosphere in the palace has changed, and those singers and dancers in the past are no longer useful.A son who is in his prime can be so upright. The Supreme Emperor, a bad old man who is a father, really can't let go of his old face and indulge in it. As for the Taoist alchemy that he used to regard as the master of the country, he was driven out of the imperial city by Li Ling long ago.

The Supreme Emperor had always been afraid of Li Ling, a powerful son. Although he didn't say anything on the face, every time he met the eldest princess Fuxi, he still couldn't help complaining in private: "I was really bored a while ago, so I announced to play music in the Yuefu, and I wanted them to play some little tunes to relieve boredom."

"Miss Huang, guess what, when these people heard that I wanted to listen to the music, they pleaded guilty one after another, saying that the emperor is only allowed to play Chinese and elegant music in the palace."

The Supreme Emperor leaned on the couch, sighed and said: "Oh! I just listened to two little songs, and now I can't do it anymore."

"What kind of life is this? I'm not as happy as those officials and officials."

"Brother Ling, you are so rigid. You really don't look like me at all."

"Hey!"

Every time at this time, Fu Xi would always speak for Li Ling.

"If Brother Ling is like you, can we, Daqi, be as prosperous as we are today?"

The Supreme Emperor fell silent.

Fuxi said again: "The emperor is making great efforts to rule the country, and he is now withdrawing the domain. When all the power is concentrated in the hands of the imperial power, the world will be considered our Zhao family. Can you do such a thing?"

Because of her big-hearted personality, although Fuxi is not in Beijing all the year round, she doesn't care about government affairs, but she still knows the important affairs in the court very well, and she knows it well. On the contrary, she is the Supreme Emperor. When he heard that his elder sister said that Li Ling was going to withdraw from the domain, he was suddenly shocked and asked anxiously: "What? This kid wants to withdraw from the domain? When did this happen? How come I don't know?"

Fu Xi looked at his younger brother seriously, shook his head helplessly, and replied: "It is enough for the emperor to do these things, and you can just enjoy your old age with peace of mind."

The Supreme Emperor sat up and said in disbelief: "These vassal kings have deep roots. Even our father was helpless against them. Brother Ling has only been on the throne for a few years? Eldest sister, don't let him do anything wrong."

"Oh, I know Ling Ge'er has done a lot of merits since he ascended the throne, but it's not easy to withdraw from the clan."

"Elder Sister, Brother Ling only listens to you, so please try to persuade him."

The eldest princess said firmly: "The previous generations of emperors really couldn't do it, but Brother Ling, if he wanted to do it, he would definitely be able to do it."

The Supreme Emperor wanted to persuade him again, but the Eldest Princess said impatiently: "Okay, okay, don't talk anymore, when the emperor comes later, I'll just persuade him to give you two players to play the music."

Taishanghuang finally shut up.

After a while, Li Ling and Jing Shu entered the room with their three children. The couple greeted the Supreme Emperor and the Eldest Princess, and the Crown Prince also greeted respectfully with his younger siblings.

When the eldest princess met Li Ling's family, the smile on her face became wider. She asked about Jingshu's condition, and when she heard that she was doing well, the eldest princess was very happy. She took a few more children and looked left and right.

The prince is dignified and restrained, Princess Bao is bright and lively, and the youngest Ji'er is cute and cute.

All are good.

Can't get enough of it.

Although the Supreme Emperor also likes several outstanding grandchildren, but at the moment he is thinking about listening to Qu'er. Seeing that the elder sister forgot the promise just now when she saw the children, he hurriedly winked at the eldest princess.

The eldest princess was so happy to see her grandchildren that she really forgot about it. Seeing her younger brother winking at her, the eldest princess suddenly remembered.

She said to Li Ling: "Your father is not in good health, unlike me who can walk around and look around. He has no other hobbies, but he likes to listen to a little song or something. I think the musicians in the Yuefu in this palace are all playing Chinese and elegant music. Your father doesn't like this. Why don't your majesty find him two who can play little songs to relieve his boredom."

The Supreme Emperor saw that his elder sister was willing to speak for him, although he was looking forward to it in his heart, but he glanced at his son's indifferent face, he quickly cleared his throat, and said: "The emperor has his own rules, and I don't have to ask for some Le Ji."

The eldest princess glanced at her younger brother who had "sold" her, and sighed helplessly.

Li Ling looked at the Eldest Princess, and replied: "Chinese music cultivates one's morality, and elegant music cultivates one's character. Father is getting old, so he shouldn't be indulging in those obscene music anymore."

After speaking, he looked at the Supreme Emperor again, and said: "If Father feels bored, you can raise flowers, plant grass, or get a few kittens and puppies for fun."

The Supreme Emperor was immediately discouraged.

The eldest princess nodded and said nothing more.

Seeing this, Jing Shu said, "It's just to relieve my father's boredom, but since your majesty has decreed not to allow slang opera to be played in the palace, then find two opera singers for my father."

In this world, there are not many entertainment items, listening to music, opera and dancing is the greatest joy.

Upon hearing this, the Supreme Emperor sat up again.

Li Ling nodded and said, "Then follow what the queen said."

The emperor was so happy, he looked at Jingshu with gratitude on his face.

The family finished the reunion banquet, and Li Ling walked back with his wife and children. Ji'er asked Jing Shu innocently, "Queen Mother, what song does the emperor's grandfather like? Why doesn't the emperor allow the palace to play it?"

Jing Shu touched the young son's head, and replied: "It's just some songs that are different from Chinese music and gala music, and are softer."

After sending the children back to the dormitory, when only the husband and wife were left, Jing Shu said to Li Ling: "Father is so old, what does he like, as long as it is not too much, you can satisfy him, why make him unhappy."

Li Ling replied: "I don't have to restrain him, I'm just worried that I'll mislead the children."

He looked at his wife and said again: "Sister Bao is just a girl. Brother Xuan will shoulder the responsibility of the country and society in the future, and Ji'er will also assist his brother. Once these obscene sounds are caught, they will imperceptibly corrode their will and state of mind. My child, how can this be the case."
