Rebirth of the High Gate Mistress

As soon as Jingshu sent Xu Wanning and Pingyang away, the messenger at Anxi Hall came over to send a message, saying that the old lady had invited several daughters-in-law to go to Anxi Hall to discuss matters.

There was a letter from the palace yesterday, saying that Qingluan was ill again and that Mrs. Xuan came to the palace to visit. Mrs. Xuan had just entered the palace this morning, and now Xuan and the others were there, it must be for the sake of their precious granddaughter.

Li Ling took the children to play in the back garden. After Jingshu changed her clothes, she took Ziyun to Anxi Hall.

By the time Jingshu arrived at Anxi Hall, Xu Wanning and Ping Yang had already arrived. The two of them were sitting under the old lady, softly comforting the tearful old lady.

Seeing this, Jing Shu hurriedly stepped forward and asked with concern: "Grandma, what's wrong? But is the emperor's cousin seriously ill?"

When the old lady saw that it was Jingshu, she quickly stretched out her hand and pulled her to her side to sit down: "Good Shu'er, come and sit here with grandma."

Although the old lady was usually the most kind to Jingshu, it was unusual for her to be so warm in front of Xu Wanning and Pingyang.

 Jing Shu had a vague premonition in her heart.

Sure enough, when the old lady saw Jingshu, her tears fell more quickly. She patted Jingshu's hand and said, "Grandma went to the palace today to see your imperial cousin. Oh! This child, she, she."

Seeing the old lady's unspeakable expression, Jingshu was shocked and guessed something. The old lady didn't say anything, and she didn't say anything either. She just sat aside dullly.

Xu Wanning, however, has a bad temper. When she saw the old lady being so sad, she said impatiently: "What happened to the emperor's cousin? Grandma, tell me quickly, she is really worried to death."

Hearing this, the old lady sighed heavily and said: "I really can't say it, oh! My family is unfortunate, my family is unfortunate."

Xu Wanning frowned and said anxiously: "But the emperor's cousin's illness cannot be cured?"

Qingluan has always been in poor health, and everyone has been accustomed to having troubles every three days. If the old lady is so distressed, she will die if she can't help it.

After Xu Wanning couldn't help but say what was in her heart, she looked at the old lady eagerly. The old lady glanced at Xu Wanning, but her eyes fell on Jingshu.

The old lady tested her tears with her handkerchief, looked at Jingshu and said, "I called you three here because I have a private matter to discuss with you."

The old lady paused, sighed heavily and said: "The Huns invaded a while ago, and Qingluan was going to be sent to marry. This child has always been timid. When he learned about this, he became frightened. Now, although the barbarians have retreated, , but she also suffered from heart problems. This child, she, she."

"Is the emperor's cousin scared to death?" Xu Wanning asked anxiously when she saw that the old lady was hesitant and unable to explain the reason.

 The old lady tested the tears with her handkerchief and replied: "That's not true."

As he said that, the old lady glanced at the faces of the three granddaughter-in-laws one by one, and then said: "Your imperial cousin is just worried that such a disaster will happen to her again in the future, so you want to come to our house?"

Xu Wanning and Pingyang didn't know that Qingluan was thinking about Li Ling, and they never dared to think about it.

When Xu Wanning heard this, she immediately replied: "What is she doing in our house? Does she want to stay here until she descends? Can your majesty agree to leave from our place?" Pingyang also echoed: "I'm afraid this is against the rules. Right? The princess has already grown hair. If she comes to live here permanently, wouldn’t it be inappropriate? If something goes wrong, how can we afford it? "

How could the old lady not understand the absurdity of this matter? The old lady had been trying to keep her dignity for a lifetime, but in the end she was forced by her granddaughter to do something so embarrassing and so embarrassing to the younger generation. The old lady felt as if her heart was fried.

She was silent for a long time before she calmed down her turbulent mind. She lowered her head deeply and said, "Your cousin wants to come down to our house and live here for the rest of her life."

 The old lady’s words made Xu Wanning and Ping Yang even more puzzled.

Xu Wanning glanced at Jingshu, who had been sitting silently, and then at Pingyang, who looked confused. She asked confusedly: "The emperor's cousin is going to come to our house? Is there anyone unmarried in our house?" man?"

Seeing that the old lady was silent, Xu Wanning said anxiously: "What kind of trouble is the emperor's cousin going to make? Grandma, please tell me quickly. I'm really worried to death."

After another long silence, the old lady slowly raised her head, looked at Jing Shu who was sitting sullenly beside her, and said with difficulty: "Shu'er, you are the most sensible person. What do you think about this matter?"

It is true that the old lady loves Jingshu, a steady and polite granddaughter-in-law, but she really cannot remain indifferent to her granddaughter's threats of death.

When Xu Wanning saw the old lady specifically asking for Jing Shu's opinion, she, who was straight-tempered, did not turn around for a moment and said casually: "This matter is too ridiculous. Even the second younger sister and I, who have always been independent-minded, probably don't have any ideas. "

Pingyang noticed something fishy, ​​but couldn't help but feel worried for Jingshu.

Jingshu is kind to others and has a gentle temper. Who wouldn't want to be a sister-in-law with such a person? If the ninth princess, who has a stubborn temper and cries all day long, takes advantage of her status to occupy the magpie's nest, the whole family may not be able to rest for a long time. Pingyang It really gives me a headache just thinking about it.

Pingyang moved her lips. After all, she didn't know how to speak. She was born in the royal family and had been used to such unfair things since she was a child. The imperial power overrides everything and cannot be changed by human power. Besides, the death of the two aunts of the Li family has always been the fault of the old lady. Heart knot, now it can be seen that the old lady is also on Qingluan's side.

How can Jingshu, a young woman from a humble family, have the power to defend herself in front of the imperial power and the old lady.

Pingyang couldn't help but feel sad when he thought about this, and the eyes he looked at Jingshu were filled with deep sympathy.

Jingshu naturally knows the importance of Qingluan in the old lady's heart. In the past, the old lady could pretend to be confused and vague in order to take the overall situation into consideration, but now Qingluan is clearly in ruins, and the old lady cannot ignore her granddaughter.

Today, the old lady can be so open and honest in front of their three sisters-in-law, and she has already made up her mind.

Jing Shu had mixed feelings in her heart. She slowly raised her head, met the old lady's earnest gaze, and replied: "I can't make the final decision on such a big matter. Grandma, what are you thinking? Is it just that? Are you looking for a safe haven for the emperor's cousin? Have you ever considered her future happiness?"

When the old lady heard this, she ducked her eyes guiltily and sighed: "Qingluan is too stubborn, and he is also frail, sensitive, and thoughtful. To put it bluntly, such a person may not be blessed with good fortune and longevity. , I really don’t care about that far away now, I just want to bring her to my side. With this old bone of mine, I can just take care of her day by day. It can also be regarded as a sacrifice for my tragic death in the palace for the sake of the palace. My daughter atoned for her sins."

As she spoke, the old lady burst into tears, took Jingshu's hand, and begged in a low voice: "Shu'er, grandma knows that you are a sensible child. Grandma begs you to let Qingluan enter the house. Grandma promises you, She just has a false reputation, and after she enters the house, my grandmother will let her live with me in Anxi Hall, which will definitely not affect your life with Bo Yue."
