Rebirth of the High Gate Mistress

Chapter 258 Give Li Ling a woman

The news of Jingshu's pregnancy spread throughout the aristocratic circles of the capital within a few days.

Not only did she become the mistress of the Duke's palace, but after being married to Li Ling for so many years, she also had her husband treat her wholeheartedly. There were not many concubines in the house of a powerful person, but she could monopolize her husband's favor. .

Jingshu has taken advantage of all the good things in the world.

 originally learned that she was unable to get pregnant, which was her fatal weakness. Those noble ladies who were full of sore stomachs still wanted to see her jokes in the future, but it was a pity that within a few days, she became pregnant again.

Most people can't see others being kind to others. How could Jing Shu not be jealous when she was in such a situation.

Jingshu's good fortune not only made the noble ladies of the aristocratic family jealous, but also many noble ladies in the palace were so stunned after hearing the news that they could not eat or sleep well.

The ninth princess, Qingluan, had been thinking about Jingshu's infertility all day long, and was looking for an opportunity to ask the emperor to decree that she be Li Lingping's wife. Suddenly, when she heard that Jingshu was pregnant, the ninth princess was overly frightened. Fainted to death.

There is also Zhou Qing from the East Palace. Empress Cao originally wanted to execute her because she offended Li Ling and his wife last time in the princess palace, but because Prince Zhao Bi wanted to save face and had an argument with Cao Hou, she saved her life, but was demoted. She became the lowest-ranking female picker. Last time Li Ling penetrated one of her feet with a sword in public, Zhou Qing hated Li Ling and his wife. When she heard about this, she was so angry that her feet hurt.

Li Ling made great contributions to the recovery of five cities, and is now a hotly regarded figure in the Qi Dynasty. As the saying goes, a husband is noble and his wife is honored, with such a powerful husband protecting her. No matter how jealous or resentful these people are, they can only vent their emotions behind their backs. In front of Jing Shu, they can only flatter and please, and they will never dare to Go offend her again.

There was only one person who could not swallow this breath no matter what, and that was Concubine Meng.

Ever since the eighth princess was pecked blind, she was sometimes sober and sometimes crazy. Seeing that her beloved daughter could not get better, Concubine Meng began to harbor hatred towards the third girl of the Zhenguo Palace and Jingshu who indirectly caused her daughter to be like this.

A woman as shrewd and sensible as Concubine Meng would not openly offend the Zhenguo Government. Secretly and quietly adding gambling to people she hates is her best method.

 Ever since his wife became pregnant, Li Ling tried his best to come home as early as possible.

On this day, as soon as he entered the palace gate, he saw bright red wedding silk hanging at the door. Li Ling walked into the palace gate and threw the horse rein to his attendant Ling Xiao, and asked casually: "Have you delivered the reward from the palace today?"

Li Ling was promoted one level after successfully recovering five cities. He is now a first-grade hussar general. Among military generals, his status is second only to the veteran general Zhou Yi.

 Li Ling was bound to be promoted to an official position after his meritorious service, but there would also be no shortage of rewards such as gold, silver, and jewelry. Now that the meritorious officials who had recovered the five cities had all been awarded, the rewards would naturally gradually come down according to grade.

Ling Xiao replied with a smile on his face: "What came down this afternoon was a whole cart full of good stuff."

Li Ling nodded slightly and said, "Have you read it, madam?"

Li Ling's rewards for meritorious service were always given to his wife.

Ling Xiao replied: "There are a lot of rewards this time. Madam has ordered Butler Fu to count them."

Li Ling just said "hmm" and strode towards Qingfeng Garden. Ling Xiao followed closely behind and said hesitantly: "Your Majesty, in addition to gold, silver, jewelry, jade and antiques, the palace also rewarded two concubines. "

Li Ling came back and saw that his pregnant wife was very happy. He listened vaguely to Ling Xiao's words and replied: "After all the rewards have been counted, they will be handed over to Madam."

After hearing this, Ling Xiao knew that his master had not heard him clearly. He cleared his throat and raised his voice appropriately: "Of the two concubines rewarded by the palace, one of them is marked on the reward list for the uncle. One is for you.”

After hearing this, Li Ling stopped. He frowned slightly and said calmly: "There is no need to leave this to Madam. Let Butler Fu take care of the arrangements."

This is the woman who was gifted to Li Ling by the Holy One. It would be better if Li Ling or Jing Shu takes care of her. How can Housekeeper Fu do it for her?

Ling Xiao knew that his master was not a womanizer, so he implicitly reminded him: "Master, the concubine given to you is the best at music, and the wife is also fond of music. Why don't you give her to the wife to take care of." She was just a palace concubine. In Li Ling's heart, she was just like gold, silver and jewelry, and not worthy of his attention.

After hearing what Ling Xiao said, Li Ling replied: "Then just give her to Madam along with those treasures."

 In Xiyuan Bitang Juli, Li Xian and Xu Wanning were having dinner.

The mother-in-law came in and replied: "Master, madam, the steward came over to say that the palace has rewarded a concubine."

Li Xian and Xu Wanning were both stunned when they heard this. Xu Wanning frowned and asked, "You are old and dishonest, and I have not done any meritorious deeds. How can you get a reward?"

The mother-in-law replied: "Today we came to the palace to deliver the reward from the Crown Prince. There were two concubines in the palace. The steward said that it was clearly marked on the reward list that one of them was awarded to us."

Xu Wanning's face suddenly turned cold. He turned his head and glanced at Li Xian: "Since it was given to you, you can just settle her yourself. I don't care."

Li Xian waved his hand towards the mother-in-law: "You just want the person in charge to wait."

When the mother-in-law left in response, Li Xian quickly stood up and pulled his wife over to coax her: "I promised you that I will never accept another woman. Not to mention a palace concubine, even the Nine Heavens Xuannv sent it to me. I, Li Xian, also have my eyelids." Not even flirting."

After hearing what Li Xian said, Xu Wanning snorted coldly and said, "If you like her, just keep her alive. If she is a peaceful girl, just put her in the yard next to Aunt Ping."

　　"I won't accept it if I say I won't accept it. A gentleman's words are hard to follow. How could I, Li Xian, break my trust with you?"

“I’m going to order someone to send her out right now.” After saying that, Li Xian stood up, strode open the door and walked out.

The steward was waiting in the yard with the concubine who had been rewarded. When he saw Li Xian coming out, the steward hurriedly stepped forward and said, "Sir, this is the concubine who was rewarded by the palace. Please take a look at it."

Li Xian stood on the corridor with his hands behind his hands, glanced at the girl, and asked, "What's your name?"

The palace concubine slowly stepped forward, with her head half-bowed, and gave Li Xian a slight blessing: "My family is good at singing, and my name is Qing Ge."

 “It’s a good name.”

Li Xian murmured to himself, then raised his voice and told the steward: "Let's move Miss Qingge to Longzhuang in the suburbs. The mountains and rivers there are beautiful, and it is a suitable place for singing."

The palace concubine who called Qing Ge learned that she was going to be sent to the Duke of Zhenguo, so she paid close attention to find out that the future lord was a scholar who knew how to love women and cherish jade. Since ancient times, scholars loved romance and loved to sing and dance. She was originally a thief. She was sure to be favored, but she didn't expect that she would be sent to Zhuangzi as soon as she took a photo of her.

Then what chance does she have of getting ahead?

"Master Li, I'm here." How could Qing Ge be willing to accept this? But before she could ask for help, Li Xian had already turned around and entered the house.

I’ll make the list at the end of the month and add another chapter!

　　　Have you got the support of a monthly ticket in your hand?

Greatful!
