The High Gate Mistress of Rebirth

After Zhao Xuan left, Ah Mu offered a bowl of nutritious bird's nest, and said with a smile: "The complexion on Ma'am's face is much better these days."

Mrs. Xie is a caring person, but she is a woman after all, and Mrs. Meng would trouble her behind her back every now and then.

Mrs. Xie took the bowl and scooped out the silky bird's nest with a silver spoon, with a satisfied smile on her face: "This Taoyao, having her here really relieves my worries."

Now that Zhao Xuan loves Taoyao so much, all of Meng's firepower has been diverted, and no one will bother Xie anymore, so she is naturally relieved.

Amzan said: "Madam's move is really clever."

Mrs. Xie caressed her protruding belly, and said casually, "It's not that I am clever, but that Mrs. Meng's temperament is really bad."

She scooped up a spoonful of bird's nest and put it into her mouth, murmured: "Relying on the man's kindness, he will either seek death or live or hold the child in his belly, heh! It's boring!"

Jing Shu couldn't help being surprised when she received the donation from Prince Yong's Mansion.

Even if all the dignitaries in Beijing and China add up, they don't donate as much as Prince Yong's family.

During lunch, Jing Shu discussed this matter with Li Ling, and Li Ling said: "This Prince Yong is really knowledgeable, um, not bad!"

Jing Shu said puzzledly: "I also met the son of Prince Yong's mansion at the palace banquet a few years ago. Although he looks ordinary, it is hard to imagine that he is such a shrewd person."

Li Ling sneered, and replied, "It's not that he's shrewd. If he can do this, he must have someone behind him to guide him."

Seeing Jingshu's puzzled face, Li Ling said, "My cousin Xie must have persuaded him to do these things."

Speaking of Mrs. Xie, Jing Shu suddenly said: "When I was sick, Mrs. Xie even asked Pingyang to send a thousand-year-old ginseng. I have a deep impression on her."

When people are sick, they are the most vulnerable. Even if you are a queen or a mortal, you will still have good feelings for those who care about you.

Mentioning this, Li Ling had a smile on his face: "My cousin had a boudoir name in Beijing when she was in her boudoir, she is smart and powerful."

He also said: "Prince Yong is fatuous, his son Zhao Xuan is just an ordinary person, but with the support of people like Xie, Prince Yong's mansion can last forever."

Jing Shu said: "The combination of leniency and strictness is the way to govern the country. Since Prince Yong's residence has repeatedly expressed sincerity to the court, the husband should also let them go."

For those princes who disobeyed the court, Li Ling suppressed them with iron and blood, but for those vassals who could bow to the court, just abolishing their military power was not Li Ling's ultimate goal.

Although Li Ling would not treat them like rebellious vassals, Li Ling had long-term plans.

A person with a soft heart and a soft heart cannot achieve hegemony.

It is his ultimate goal to completely eradicate the power in the hands of these vassal kings.

This is naturally cruel to these vassal kings who occupy one side, but it is necessary for the stable development of the entire country.

This is also the reason why the previous generations of promising emperors longed for this.

Li Ling looked at his wife, and replied, "Of course I won't kill them all." He thought about it, and murmured, "Prince Yong's residence, you can consider staying."

After lunch with his wife, Li Ling went to the Palace of Qinzheng to get busy. Before leaving, he told the palace servants to take care of his wife for an afternoon nap, and saw his wife enter the inner hall with his own eyes before leaving in peace.

While changing Jingshu's clothes, Ziyun praised: "Your Majesty is really rare. After all these years, you can still be sincere to your empress."

Jing Shu smiled and replied: "Since I married my husband, you have followed us. Don't you know your husband's temperament?"

Jing Shu laughed: "He, emotionally, is just stubborn."

Ziyun covered her mouth and snickered: "Your Majesty is so right."

As he said that, he muttered again: "I see that the prince's temper is also following His Majesty's. You said that she is unwilling to accept the servant's bed in every possible way. Could it be that there is someone in her heart?"

It's not that Jing Shu didn't think about this, she just wondered, "Who do you think it could be?"

Ziyun thought for a while, then replied: "If it's a female official and maid, you can just accept it directly, but you don't have to hide it like this. Could it be a noble lady from some family?"

Jing Shu denied: "He has entered the East Palace since he was six years old, how can he get in touch with the noble girls outside, this is unlikely, right?"

Ziyun thought about it and said: "Those wives often bring their own daughters into the palace to greet you, maybe they are the ones that the crown prince has taken a fancy to?"

Jingshu nodded: "It's not impossible." Then she sighed again: "It's just that if he likes it, as far as I'm concerned, just include it. The courtiers have been staring at the East Palace for a long time. He should have Nashi went to bed."

As he spoke, he sighed again: "This child is very thoughtful, and sometimes even I, a mother, can't guess his thoughts."

"Forget it, when I find a chance, I'll just ask him."

As soon as Jing Shu woke up, the palace servants came in to report, saying that Li Kun came to pay his respects with his bride. Jing Shu hurriedly ordered someone to help her tidy up, and hurried out of the inner hall.

Li Kun and Dong Qing were waiting in the outer hall, when the young couple saw Jing Shu, they hurriedly bowed to salute, Jing Shu personally stepped forward to help them up, and said with a smile: "One family, there is no need to be so formal."

After the two sat down, Jing Shu carefully looked at the young couple.

Li Kun was originally handsome, but now he is married to a beautiful woman, and he looks even more energetic. Dong Qing has not changed much, but she has become a wife, with her hair tied up, and she looks more dignified and dignified than before.

Jingshu exchanged a few words with the young couple, and then said to the palace man: "Go and tell the prince and princess that Brother Kun is here with his bride."

Then he said to the couple: "Your younger siblings have been looking forward to seeing you, and have told me several times that when you enter the palace, they will definitely come to see you."

After a while, the crown prince and Princess Bao entered the main hall one after the other. Princess Bao walked in front, and as soon as she stepped into the door of the hall, she said excitedly: "I want to see what my elder brother will look like after he gets married?"

Li Kun got up and said to his younger sister angrily, "What can it become?" As he spoke, he subconsciously smacked his face, and joked, "Still as handsome as before."

The brothers and sisters have lived under the same roof since they were young, even though they have different identities now, they still joke around when they meet.

The prince then echoed with a smile, "Brother is not as handsome as before."

"I think he's even more handsome than before!"

The prince seldom made jokes, and with one word, everyone in the hall couldn't help laughing.

Several people chatted and joked together, the prince and princess gave their respective gifts to the newlywed brother-in-law. Li Kun held a picture of calligraphy from the prince and couldn't help but praise: "The prince's calligraphy is unique, this gift, It's too precious."

The prince smiled and said: "It's not worth mentioning, but I wrote this book with all my heart for Brother He's wedding, and it's more thoughtful than those treasures."
