Rebirth of the High Gate Mistress

It was the first time Emperor Ming saw his nephew so angry. He quickly comforted him and said, "Oh! Boyo, this is not a big deal. Why are you so angry?"

Li Ling stood up, saluted Emperor Ming respectfully, and said, "Your Majesty, please promise me not to let the Queen do anything wrong."

If Empress Cao forcibly issued an edict, no matter how unwilling Li Ling was, he would not be able to resist and disobey the edict. Therefore, Li Ling made up his mind today to get Emperor Ming's nod.

Emperor Ming looked at Li Ling and said helplessly: "You kid, you are really stubborn. I really don't know what is so good about Mrs. Shen that she deserves to be treated so heart-warmingly by you. It is normal for a man to have three wives and four concubines. If you can't bear to leave Mrs. Shen, just let her stay with you, but Qingluan is a princess, so you can't be on an equal footing with her, so just reduce her to a concubine."

When Li Ling heard this, he flatly refused and said: "This matter must not be done. Not to mention that I will never treat my wife Shen like this. Even if I haven't married yet, I will never treat my wife as my master. I only regard Qingluan as my wife." Look at my sister, how can I marry her? Isn’t this ridiculous?”

Emperor Ming sighed slightly and said: "But Qingluan is interested in you. She has not yet come out at this age because she is thinking about you. This child lost his mother when he was young. It is very pitiful. If you take care of her from now on, I will feel relieved."

 What is the reason for this?

For the sake of his daughter, he ignored his wife and children. Li Ling was so angry that veins popped out on his forehead, and he said coldly: "If your Majesty is so hard-pressed, I will have no choice but to step down from my official position and return home with my wife and children." I went to farm in my hometown."

If Li Ling is disarmed and returns to his fields, who will help him fight?

When Emperor Ming heard this, he hurriedly replied: "You kid, why are you saying such angry words? Okay, okay, if you don't want to, forget it."

Hearing this, Li Ling was finally relieved. He quickly bowed to Emperor Ming and saluted: "Thank you, Your Majesty, for this."

Emperor Ming glanced at Li Ling and snorted coldly: "You are really stubborn. You don't enjoy the blessings of the people of Qi, but you insist on hanging on a tree. How many people are eager to worship the Lord, but you don't know what is good and what is good, hum! I Is your daughter still worried about not being able to get married?"

Seeing that Emperor Ming finally relented, Li Ling couldn't help but soften his expression, and echoed Emperor Ming: "Your Majesty's princess will definitely find a good man."

Emperor Ming rolled his eyes at his nephew and snorted coldly: "There's no need for you to tell me. If you love Shen so much, why are you still spending time with me? Just go home."

Li Ling received the order and resigned to Emperor Ming with a smile. He strode out of the palace and rode back home quickly.

Empress Cao returned to Jiaofang Hall and drafted the decree. She stared at the decree and couldn't help but feel annoyed when she thought of Shen and Li Ling.

Yu Tuan'er glanced at Empress Cao's face, she offered a cup of enthusiasm, and cautiously advised: "Your Majesty, don't be upset, it doesn't matter how rebellious and unruly Li Ling is, as long as your Majesty continues her decree, no matter how much he falls in love with Shen I don’t think we have to part ways with her, but after the Ninth Princess arrives at the Zhenguo Duke’s Mansion, all the plans of the Empress will naturally come to fruition smoothly.”

By now, Empress Cao has made many preparations. If Qingluan can convince the old lady and Li Ling, it would be best. If not, let her steal Li Ling's patrol commander card, and they can successfully control the capital.

 So Queen Cao must insert Qingluan as a chess piece beside Li Ling.

Hearing this, Empress Cao smiled faintly and murmured: "I originally planned to win over Li Ling after the Shen family, but who knew that the Shen family would not go with Daoer, so I can't blame me."

Yu Tuan'er replied: "This Shen family was originally from a small family. She was spoiled too much by the Li family's eldest son, which made her feel confident. She thought that with her husband's protection, she could always sit back and relax, but she Little does anyone know that in this whirlpool of power, there is no room for her innocence. The empress gave her the sun and told her not to leave. From now on, there will be a time when she calls the sky and the earth and the earth will not work. "

Empress Cao picked up the tea cup and took a sip gracefully. She looked slightly proud and said with a sneer at the corner of her mouth: "As the saying goes, those who obey me will prosper, and those who go against me will perish. Since Mrs. Shen doesn't know how to praise her, treat her After being demoted to the side room, I naturally have many ways to make her regret it." As she spoke, she lowered her voice and said to Yu Tuan'er: "When the decree is announced tomorrow, you can ask them to bring the news to brother. These things need to be done. The arrangements have been made quietly, and if Li Ling refuses to cooperate, we will have to wait until Qingluan gets married before we can discuss the matter again."

Yu Tuan'er nodded secretly and said in a low voice: "Since King Jin came back, uncle Guo has made preparations, so don't worry, Madam."

Empress Cao lowered her eyes and said bitterly: "If Li Ling hadn't interfered last time and ruined the palace's plans, then King Jin would have been buried long ago, so there would be no need to worry about it."

The master and the servant were plotting here. The maid came in from outside and reported, "Your Majesty, your Majesty is here."

Except for the first and fifteenth day of the lunar month, Emperor Ming would come to Empress Cao to have her wedding ceremony in accordance with palace regulations. He almost never set foot in Jiaofang Hall on weekdays.

Empress Cao suddenly heard that Emperor Ming was coming, and she was stunned for a long time before she could calm down. It was Yu Tuan'er who urged her: "Your Majesty, Your Majesty is here, be ready to pick him up."

Upon hearing this, Empress Cao hurriedly replied: "Yes, yes, yes." Then she happily welcomed her out of the palace with her maid.

The couple exchanged pleasantries for a few words. Emperor Ming entered the Jiaofang Hall and asked Empress Cao directly: "Just now, Uncle Cai asked me to come over to meet the Holy Spirit and mentioned to me that the empress was threatening his wife. Is this relevant?"

Just now outside the Qinzheng Hall, Li Ling was insisting on this matter with her face to face, but Empress Cao did not expect that a high-ranking general like him would go to tell Emperor Ming about this matter.

Queen Cao naturally would not admit it. She pretended to be surprised and said: "Where do you start from what General Li told your Majesty? Well, I am going to threaten his wife for what I am doing. Your Majesty, please tell me. I have wronged my concubine." .”

Emperor Ming snorted coldly and said: "If the queen didn't do the best thing like this, you are the queen. If you really did such a disgraceful thing just to win over your subordinates, I would be really disappointed at that moment."

Hearing this, Empress Cao immediately knelt at the feet of Emperor Ming, crying out and aggrieved: "Your Majesty, I have been in charge of the harem for you for more than ten years and have always abided by my duties. This matter must have been framed behind the back of General Li's wife, Mrs. Shen."

Emperor Ming wondered: "You have nothing to do with Mr. Shen, so why would Mr. Shen frame you?"

Empress Cao replied: "After my concubine knew Qingluan's thoughts, she went to find Shen and mentioned the matter to her. She just wanted to save her face and wanted her to go down to the court to beg for help. But she had a tough attitude and refused to give in because of the favor of the eldest son of the Li family. I thought that it was because of this that she held a grudge, so she framed me in front of the eldest son of the Li family."

There were many women in Emperor Ming's harem, and there had always been a lot of disputes. Emperor Ming had long been accustomed to such verbal quarrels. He came here today just to remind Empress Cao to stop unscrupulously making friends with foreign ministers. As for who hates whom, who does it? Emperor Ming didn't bother to care or control whom he loved.

Upon hearing this, Emperor Ming waved to Empress Cao and said, "Get up."

Empress Cao stood up, but she was worried that Emperor Ming would change his mind about letting Qingluan descend to Li Ling. She glanced at Emperor Ming's face and said tentatively: "I have already prepared the decree for Li Ling to divorce his wife and marry the Ninth Princess. We will let him go tomorrow." Is it okay if someone goes to announce the decree?"

Emperor Ming nodded and said: "Since it has been planned, it should not be delayed. We will issue the decree tomorrow."
