Rebirth of the High Gate Mistress

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

Emperor Ming did promise Li Ling not to interfere in his family affairs, but little did he know that Li Ling's family affairs were also related to state affairs.

It is true that Emperor Ming loved his nephew very much, but as the king of a country, he wanted to pave a worry-free imperial path for his son, but he had to override his relationship with Li Ling as an uncle and nephew.

Furthermore, in Emperor Ming's view, letting his nephew marry another woman was not a harm to him. Emperor Ming had always been very puzzled by Li Ling's behavior of being willing to hang on to just one woman. In his opinion, this is just because his nephew is too old-fashioned. There are too many women around him, so this old-fashioned nephew will naturally know the taste. Maybe he has to thank his uncle.

Empress Cao saw that Emperor Ming had not changed her mind. She quickly replied: "I obey the decree. I will order someone to go to the Zhenguo Duke's Mansion tomorrow to announce the decree."

Emperor Ming's visit to Jiaofang Palace was just to warn Empress Cao not to win over foreign ministers. Since he had already said what needed to be said, and there were many beauties in the harem waiting for him to spend the night with him, he naturally did not want to stay with the aging Empress Cao any longer.

Emperor Ming said calmly: "It's getting late, the queen should settle down early." Then he got up and left Jiaofang Hall.

The emperor and the empress had long since left her heart. Empress Cao felt like a mirror in her heart that the reason why Emperor Ming was still willing to treat her with pretense was just because of the power of her Cao family. She watched Emperor Ming's back leave late at night, and she had long since disappeared. It was a feeling of disappointment when she was young, but the only thing she was thinking about was that she would order someone to go to the Zhenguo Duke's Mansion tomorrow to announce the decree.

 Inserting Qingluan next to Li Ling for great things is what Empress Cao has in mind.

Li Ling came out of the palace and went straight back home. It was already midnight when he returned to Qingfeng Garden.

The cold wind in winter was biting, but the light from inside the house was warm and soft. The figure of his beloved wife reflected on the window made Li Ling's heart soften. He stepped up his steps, taking three steps and two steps at a time. Go up the steps to the porch, push the door open and enter the house.

Li Ling entered the house amid the cold winter wind. Jingshu, who was taking care of her accounts under the lamp, hurriedly came forward and said softly as usual: "I'm back."

Li Ling put his hand to his mouth to warm it, and then reached out to hold his wife. He looked at her with crooked eyebrows and asked, "Are you anxious about the wait?"

Jingshu smiled gently and said, "There is no need to worry. I know you will come back to me sooner or later."

Li Ling smiled after hearing Jingshu's pun, leaned over and picked up his wife, slightly raising his eyebrows and saying, "You are quite confident."

Jingshu smiled, put her arms around Li Ling's neck, and said proudly: "Of course, I believe that no woman in this world can impress you except me."

The north wind was howling outside the window, and the charcoal fire in the fireplace was burning brightly. On the large carved rosewood bed, the couple was enjoying their love and affection.

When Jingshu woke up, Li Ling had already gone out. When Ziyun came in to help her wash up, he replied: "My uncle went to the camp at dawn. He said that there was something going on in the camp today, so he had to go early and return early after he was done. .”

Jingshu stretched herself for a long time. After getting out of bed and tidying up, she went to Baoxia to visit her two children as usual.

Brother Xuan and Sister Bao had already woken up, and the two little guys were nestling in the warm quilt, talking to each other without saying a word. Sister Bao saw her mother come in before her brother, and she opened her arms towards Jing Shu shouted: "Mother, come and hug me first."

 Sister Bao has always liked to bite her tongue. Fortunately, Brother Xuan is very much like an older brother and always gives way to his sister.

Jingshu came to Sister Bao's side, stretched out her hand to touch her little face, and urged: "Get up soon. After breakfast, mother is still busy."

Sister Bao asked, "Where's Daddy? Why didn't you come over to see me?"

Jingshu took the clothes for her son and daughter and replied: "Dad is busy with errands today. He got up early in the morning and went to the camp." When Sister Bao heard this, she pouted her mouth and frowned displeasedly: " Daddy left so early again? He didn’t even eat with Sister Bao, huh!"

Jingshu patiently coaxed her daughter and said, "Daddy will be back after dinner. Sister Bao, please be good."

With that said, Jingshu pushed the clothes to her daughter and urged: "Get up quickly, get dressed yourself."

Sister Bao was dressing herself while muttering in a low voice: "If daddy were at home, he would definitely help me get dressed."

Jingshu did not hear anything. After the children had put on their clothes and washed themselves, she took them outside to have breakfast.

After breakfast, the wet nurses took their brothers and sisters to play in the yard. Jingshu packed up and went to the front office to attend the meeting as usual. Just as she was about to go out, Ling Xiao ran into the inner courtyard in a panic. When he saw Jingshu, he said anxiously: "Madam, the Queen has issued an edict, and the **** who announced the edict has already arrived at the second gate."

Jingshu felt a chill in her heart when she heard that it was Empress Cao's order. When she saw Ling Xiao's flustered look, she even guessed it.

She felt her eyes suddenly go dark, but she gritted her teeth to prevent herself from fainting.

Ziyun quickly supported Jingshu, frowned and asked Lingxiao, "Have you heard what the decree is?"

Ling Xiao frowned and hesitated: "The **** who announced the decree didn't explain it, but it would be detrimental to my wife to hear that."

Jingshu had calmed down at this moment. He told Ling Xiao: "Go to the camp to explain the matter to the prince immediately and invite the prince back."

Ling Xiao took the order and left. Ziyun looked at Jingshu and said anxiously: "Empress Cao has made things difficult for Madam again and again. This time she is definitely going to put Madam at a disadvantage. Madam might as well hide for now and see the **** when my uncle comes back." Purpose."

 Since the killing has reached the doorstep, there is no way to escape.

Jingshu calmed down at this moment, and she replied calmly: "Let's go, go and receive the order first."

With that said, she supported Ziyun and slowly walked out of Qingfeng Garden and headed towards the second gate.

The **** who announced the decree was accompanied by the chief steward of the palace. He was already a little impatient after waiting. When he saw Jingshu, the **** unfolded Queen Cao's decree and recited it loudly.

Mrs. Shen, the Crown Prince’s wife, received the order

By God's destiny, the Queen's decree is: Shen, the wife of the Crown Prince of Zhenguo, is of humble origin, jealous and arrogant, and is not worthy of being a high-ranking official in the imperial court. She is specially demoted to a side chamber. I appreciate this!

A decree, just a few words, pulled Jingshu from the clouds to the mud.

Jingshu received the decree, her mind was in confusion, and her ears were buzzing. She glanced at Uncle Xiang, the chief steward who was standing aside with a worried look on his face, and said: "Mr. Xiang, good luck to my father-in-law." Leave the house."

Uncle Xiang sighed heavily and replied: "I understand, madam."

He deliberately made his "madam"'s life miserable, in order to vent the royal dissatisfaction with the unfair treatment of his mistress.

Jingshu turned around after giving a brief explanation. Her heart felt like a knife, but she held on and kept herself from falling. As usual, she walked towards Qingfeng Garden with a calm and dignified pace.
