Rebirth of the High Gate Mistress

Chapter 248 Who is more handsome, me or Ah Chen?

Li Ling kept his word, and the result was true and he gave Zhang Simiao a hundred gold and sent him to the post house to settle down.

After sending Zhang Simiao away, Jiang Youchen couldn't wait to discuss with Li Ling about going to Northern Xinjiang to collect Ganoderma lucidum.

Jiang Youchen had just arrived in the capital, and he still had to wait for the saint to be conferred. Li Ling declined politely and said: "It's a long way to the mountains in Beijiang. Ah Chen has just arrived in the capital. You wait for the saint to be conferred, and it's more important to have a good job in your new job."

Jingshu is the white moonlight in Jiang Youchen's heart that can never be erased. He took great pains to invite Zhang Simiao to the capital. Now that there is a way to detoxify Jiang Youchen, even if he does not want an official career, he is willing to serve Jingshu.

But Jingshu was married after all. He wanted to protect her, but he also knew how to measure it. He only insisted: "When my cousin encounters such a thing, everyone in the family, from her grandparents to her parents and brothers, feels very sorry for her. Now that we have this good remedy, I really can’t explain it to my family unless I personally accompany General Li on the trip.”

Even though Jiang Youchen painstakingly concealed his emotions, he still couldn't escape Li Ling's scrutiny. It was only because Jiang Youchen was low-key, knew his rules, and never went out of his way in the slightest, that Li Ling was able to treat Jiang Youchen with courtesy.

 But this does not mean that he can graciously accept all his good intentions for his wife. Although Li Ling is not a petty person, he is extremely possessive of feelings.

After listening to Jiang Youchen’s words, Li Ling still insisted not to let Jiang Youchen go with him.

The two of them were unable to hold on any longer. Lieutenant General Liang Jin raised his hands to Jiang Youchen and said, "General Jiang is really not suitable to leave the capital at this time. Your Majesty will be enfeoffed soon. Why don't you leave at this time? Why don't you let me accompany the prince on this trip?" .”

 When the five cities were recovered, the central army of the DPRK and the soldiers of the cities in the south shared the same enemy, so Liang Jin and Jiang Youchen, who were deputy generals, were also familiar with each other.

Liang Jin was an extremely reserved and reserved person. After hearing what Liang Jin said, Li Ling looked at him in confusion.

Liang Jin quickly explained: "Have you forgotten, Your Majesty? I have been in Northern Xinjiang for many years. There is no one who is more familiar with the mountains and rivers there than me."

After Liang Jin's family was convicted, he was sent to the northern Xinjiang to join the army. It was not until Li Ling appreciated the opportunity that he was transferred back to the city patrol department in central Beijing.

Li Ling suddenly understood after hearing this. He nodded towards Liang Jin: "Then you can accompany me on this trip."

With that said, he said to Jiang Youchen: "His Majesty Long Yan will be very happy to recapture the five cities this time. The soldiers and soldiers from the south who have made great contributions will be greatly rewarded. You just have to wait in the capital."

After the discussion was completed, Li Ling returned to Qingfengyuan. Jingshu heard that he was going to Northern Xinjiang to look for Ganoderma lucidum in the near future. She said worriedly: "I saw that the miracle doctor was not sure. The mountains and rivers in Northern Xinjiang are steep, but I think it's okay. Alright."

 Li Ling smiled and said to his wife: "You are so eager to have a son, and you drink the bitter medicine prescribed by the imperial doctor every day. Now that you have this glimmer of hope, why should you give up?"

Jingshu thought of Zhang Simiao's words and actions, and replied: "I see that this doctor is not very reliable. Is he trying to steal people's money? For such a shameless thing, I have to make a dangerous trip to Northern Xinjiang. I can’t bear it.”

After hearing what his wife said, Li Ling smacked his mouth and said in confusion: "I also wonder why the miracle doctor always speaks rudely to me."

Jingshu looked at Li Ling and replied: "I think he looks disgusted with everyone. Maybe this old man just has this weird temper. Why should you take it to heart?"

“Then I saw that he was kind to Ah Chen, but he was cold-hearted towards me.”

Li Ling touched his face and frowned slightly: "Is Ah Chen more handsome than me?"

Jiang Youchen has a delicate and gentle appearance, while Li Ling has a cold and resolute appearance. For an old man, he would naturally prefer the former. Just like that time when she first met Mrs. Lan at the eldest princess's residence, even though they were both grandsons, Mrs. Lan also liked the gentle and elegant Li Xiang more. Jing Shu glanced at Li Ling's childish look, suppressed a smile and said, "You are not such a superficial person, and why do you love to compare with others so much?"

Li Ling did not answer his wife's words. He stared at Jing Shu with his bright eyes and asked insistently: "Who do you think is more handsome, me or Ah Chen?"

This question is really difficult to answer. It is like asking which is more beautiful, pearls or jade.

  Naturally, each flower is in his own eyes.

Jingshu blinked and said with a smile: "You and your cousin are both handsome, but in my eyes, your husband is naturally more handsome."

After Li Ling heard this, a smile immediately appeared on his resolute face. He cleared his throat and added to himself: "I was just afraid that you would be bored, so I just chatted with you."

Jing Shu was amused in her heart, but she didn't show it on her face. She just echoed: "Of course I know you are joking with me. How can a man as upright as my husband really be so superficial that he can compare with others."

His little wife could always hold him firmly. Li Ling knew clearly that his wife was deliberately flattering him, but she still found it extremely useful.

Li Ling stretched out his arms and pulled his wife into his arms, staring at her and saying, "I haven't heard you praise me like this for a long time."

Jingshu did not hesitate to praise him before, but to be honest, those words were 100% sincere and 70% were deliberate flattery to coax him. It was not until she became infertile that she saw Li Ling sincerely praise him. She was thinking about her and devoted herself to protecting her. Jing Shu was truly moved by Li Ling, but it was hard to say those words that were somewhat hypocritical.

 Li Ling, however, liked to listen.

Jingshu looked at Li Ling and smiled bitterly: "If you like to hear these words, I will tell you more in the future."

Li Ling glared at his wife and said, "How can I not hear that your rhetorical words of praise are just to make me happy?"

 He is so hard to fool.

 It turns out he is not stupid.

This was far beyond Jing Shu's expectation. She looked at Li Ling with confusion and said, "Then you know it clearly, so why do you still want me to tell you about it?"

Li Ling looked at his wife's eyes full of autumn water, leaned over and kissed her gently on her smooth forehead, and replied: "I prefer to listen to the happy look on your face when you say those words. You used to be so bright and cheerful, Ever since I learned that I couldn't get pregnant, I've often felt confused. Seeing your occasional sadness and occasional loss makes me feel very uncomfortable."

After Jingshu heard her husband's thoughtful words, she meekly lay in Li Ling's arms and murmured, "Thank you for caring about me so much."

Li Ling replied: "I don't need you to thank me. As long as you can really be happy, I will be happy too."

He held his wife's face, looked into her eyes and said: "I am so anxious to find the Ganoderma lucidum mentioned by the miracle doctor for you just to fulfill your wish. It would be best if your wish can come true. If not, I hope you can Don’t feel sad about this from now on.”

Jingshu nodded: "I promise you."
