The High Gate Mistress of Rebirth

Chapter 77

On the tenth day of the Lunar New Year, it snowed again, and the heavy snow was blowing like cotton flakes.

The old lady was wearing a lake blue dress embroidered with golden silk Baifu dumplings. Early in the morning, she and her family members stood at the gate eagerly waiting for their granddaughter's luan car.

In the distance, in the flying snow all over the sky, finally saw the royal colorful tent slowly approaching, the old lady was supported by Madam Xu, and impatiently greeted her.

The multicolored luan chariot inlaid with gold and jewels stopped in front of the main gate of Duke Zhenguo's mansion. The servants put the footstool under the chariot. The female official stepped forward and opened the car door, and supported the Ninth Princess Qingluan to get out of the chariot slowly.

Naturally, the princess can't just show her face in public, Qingluan walked slowly to the old lady with the support of the female officer, wearing a gauze hat.

As soon as the old lady grasped her granddaughter's hand, before she had time to speak, tears poured out of her head, and the hot tears fell on the back of Qingluan's hand drip by tick.

The person behind the gauze hat also sobbed and wept.

The crowd comforted the two, surrounded by Princess Nine and went to the old lady's Anxi Hall first.

When the grandfather and grandson met, they had to talk about themselves first. After the ninth princess and the old lady were settled, Jing Shu and Xu Wanning ordered everyone to retreat, leaving only Madam Xu to wait on them.

In the second half of the day, a reunion banquet was originally arranged to welcome the Ninth Princess, so Li Ling also returned from the camp early.Li Ling and Jing Shu had packed things up early, but An Xi Tang spread the news that the princess was tired, so the old lady ordered the family banquet to be canceled, and only the princess and the princess were used in An Xi Tang, so that Li Ling Let's eat with Jingshu and then go there.

Li Ling glanced at Jing Shu's face and asked, "Have you seen Princess Nine?"

In the past, every time Qingluan was mentioned, the two would always have an unpleasant fight. Now that Li Ling knew what his wife was thinking, he never mentioned his cousin in front of her again. But now that she has lived at home, he can't hide if he wants to.

Jing Shu shook her head, and said lightly: "She was with grandma when she came, and we didn't see her."

Seeing his wife's calm expression, Li Ling felt a little uneasy. He looked at her and asked straightforwardly, "Do you not like her coming?"

Naturally, she doesn't like a woman who has her man in her heart to live in the house, but this is not only her and Li Ling's home, she wants to stay at her grandmother's house, so what right does she have to stop her.Besides, she is a princess, so even if she wanted to stop her, she couldn't stop her.

Jing Shu was upset, and she didn't want to hide it in front of Li Ling. She said frankly, "I really don't like her coming."

Originally, I thought that Li Ling would persuade her to be more generous. After all, she was his cousin, she was so pitiful and helpless, and the Duke of Zhenguo was her only support.

Unexpectedly, Li Ling said, "She will leave after staying for a few days. If you don't like her, don't go to grandma's place for a while."

Hearing what Li Ling said, Jing Shu felt very docile in her heart. She smiled and said, "That's not the case. I am the host and she is the guest. If there is a guest, the host will hide instead."

After finishing speaking, she called Ziyun to dress up seriously.

Didn't she order the female officer to look at herself a few days ago?Today, she has to be radiant and let her see it well.

After Jing Shu dressed properly, she and Li Ling had dinner together, and then they left Qingfengyuan and headed towards Anxitang.

As soon as they arrived at the door, a Tong Chuan woman greeted them, smiled and said hello to the two: "The uncle and the eldest lady have just entered, and the old lady is talking about the son and wife inside."

The two entered the main room, and they saw that Li Xian and Xu Wanning were already there with Brother Heng and Sister Zhuang. The old lady was sitting at the head, talking warmly with them. , looking at the fragile little girl.

It is Qingluan, the Nine Princesses.

Seeing Li Ling coming in, Qingluan subconsciously stood up, and her watery eyes stared straight at Li Ling impatiently.

After all, the distance on the parade ground that day was relatively long, but seeing Li Ling up close now, he was even more heroic.

Qingluan's cheeks were slightly red.

She turned and turned to the person beside him.

The moment she saw Jing Shu, she was stunned.

"Come and meet your imperial cousin, Shu'er just entered the door, you haven't met yet." The old lady greeted happily.

Jing Shu stepped forward with a smile on her face: "Is the emperor's cousin well?"

The melodious voice like Ying's cry reached Qingluan's ears, and only then did she call her to Shen'er, and she hurriedly replied: "I have seen my cousin."

Li Ling sat down on the chair, and said in a friendly manner: "I haven't seen you for a few years, and the imperial cousin has grown a lot taller."

Hearing this, Qingluan looked at Li Ling again, she said shyly: "Cousin is so old-fashioned, I'm going to be late, I'm already an adult, why is my cousin talking about me to coax children."

The old lady pulled Qingluan to sit beside her, and said with a smile: "Qingluan hasn't come to the house for four years, and you brothers and sisters haven't seen each other for many years, so naturally your cousin still treats you like a child." Look."

Qingluan twisted the gold silk handkerchief in her hand, raised her eyes and glanced at Li Ling, and said to the old lady Jiao Didi: "Three years ago, on my aunt's birthday, I invited our unmarried princesses to the princess mansion to play. Cousin's."

After finishing speaking, she couldn't help but glanced at Li Ling again.

Li Ling picked up the teacup and drank the tea by himself, but did not speak to him.

Qingluan looked at Li Ling shyly, and continued: "There is a big pear tree in my aunt's princess mansion, my cousin even picked pears for me to eat that day."

Seeing that Li Ling didn't talk to him, Qingluan smiled and looked at him Yanyan, then looked at Jingshu who was sitting beside him, and asked: "Cousin, do you still remember?"

Li Ling raised his eyes and glanced at Qingluan, then turned his head to look at his wife beside him, and it happened that Jingshu was also looking at her.

Jing Shu looked calm, and said to Li Ling who was looking at her stupidly: "The emperor's cousin asked you something."

Li Ling smiled at Jingshu, touched his nose, and said falteringly: "When did this all happen, I don't remember long ago."

Jingshu looked at Qingluan, with a warm smile on her face, and said: "Your cousin is good in everything, but his memory is not good. After all these years, it's rare for my cousin to remember, but he forgot Cleaned up."

Jing Shu said a few words, and finally made Qingluan, who kept asking questions, shut her mouth resentfully. After hearing Jing Shu's insinuating words, her face turned pale, and her originally bright eyes dimmed. make a sound.

Everyone was talking and chatting. Sister Zhuang staggered up to Jing Shu, opened her little hands and said, "Auntie hugs, auntie hugs."

Jingshu possessed her body and hugged Sister Zhuang on her lap to tease her. Xu Wanning smiled and said: "My sister likes younger siblings, and I look for her every time I see her."

Hearing this, Li Ling touched Sister Zhuang's head sideways, and asked with a smile, "Sister Zhuang, why do you like Auntie?"

Sister Zhuang is already two years old, and she can already speak a lot. She looked at Jing Shu and grinned, and said in a childlike voice, "Because my aunt is beautiful, and my aunt is the most beautiful."

The innocent words of Yuxue's cute little doll made the adults laugh.Li Ling looked at his wife beside him, with a gentle smile in his eyes, and with a hint of flattery, he whispered to Jingshu: "My niece praised you."

Jing Shu glanced at him indifferently, but ignored him, and teased the child in her arms with her lowered eyes.

Brother Kun, who was playing at the side, ran to Li Ling's side, looked up at him and said, "Second Uncle, can you teach me to lead soldiers to fight?"

Li Ling patted his nephew's head, and replied, "You are still young, when Brother Kun grows up, Second Uncle will teach you."

Brother Kun replied fiercely: "I have grown up, and I will be four years old after this year."

Li Ling picked up his nephew, got up and weighed it, teasing him with a smile: "Isn't it, after the new year, Brother Kun has indeed gained a lot of weight, really grown up."

Brother Kun giggled and said, "Then second uncle, teach me to lead soldiers to fight."

Xu Wanning looked at Li Ling and Jing Shu, and joked with a smile: "You two are such a rare child, hurry up and have one."

As soon as Xu Wanning finished speaking, Qingluan, who had been sitting silently beside the old lady, let out a soft "Yo".

Although the voice was soft, but because she and the old lady were sitting at the top, everyone present noticed it, and everyone couldn't help but look at her in unison.

Qingluan quickly put down the teacup in her hand, covered the veil and said falteringly: "This tea, this tea is a bit hot."
