Rebirth of the High Gate Mistress

Chapter 438: Sending my daughter to study

After sending off her family members in the palace, Li Lingjingshu took her two children to Jiaofang Hall where she lived.

After walking for a short distance, Sister Bao complained that her legs were sore and opened her little hands for Li Ling to hold her.

Jing Shu saw that her daughter was getting angry again. She held her daughter's little hand, leaned over and said to her, "Sister Bao has grown up. Don't let others hold you at all times."

When Sister Bao saw Jingshu coming to teach her again, the little guy slyly broke away from his mother, turned around and hugged his father's thigh, raised his head and said coquettishly: "Now that Daddy has become the emperor, does he stop loving Sister Bao?" ?”

When Li Ling heard what his youngest daughter said, he said angrily: "Where did you hear this? How could Daddy not love Sister Bao?"

Sister Bao pouted and said, "Then why don't you hug me?"

He quickly bent down and picked up his daughter, kissed her on the forehead, and said with a smile: "Can't you do it for daddy to hold you? You are a clever little kid, you want daddy to hold you, and you have learned how to use provocation."

Sister Bao hugged Li Ling's neck and pouted: "I'm worried that daddy really doesn't love me anymore. I was playing in the imperial garden a few days ago and I heard several palace ladies saying that the emperor wanted to marry There are many concubines, and they say that you only have one wife, mother, and sooner or later you will have many concubines and give birth to many children. If dad has many children, how will he have time to love me."

Li Ling's face really darkened after hearing her daughter's words. She patted her daughter on the head and replied: "Sister Bao, don't listen to their nonsense. Dad will not accept many concubines, let alone have **** with others." When you give birth to a child, your father will only love you, your brother, and the little brother or sister in your mother's belly."

After sending his two children to the side hall to sleep, Li Lingxuan came to Li Dequan, the general manager of the palace, and solemnly ordered him: "You should order the officials everywhere to investigate. Any female officials or maids who like to cause trouble and talk nonsense will be punished." Just drive them out of the palace and leave only half of the people in the palace."

 In the previous dynasty, there were many concubines in the harem, so there were also many palace servants serving in the palace. Now the inner palace is already clean, and there is no need for such servants to serve. When the palace servants are free, they naturally like to talk nonsense.

 This made Li Ling very unhappy.

Li Dequan said in a panic: "Your Majesty, if you want to reduce the number of people in the palace, you should do it only appropriately. If you reduce it by half at once, I am afraid that the remaining people will be tight and the service will not be good."

Li Ling said coldly: "There are only the Emperor, myself, the Queen, a few concubines and princesses from the previous dynasty, and a few children in the palace. Why is there such a lack of service?"

There is no emperor in this dynasty who does not have a harem with three thousand beauties. Li Ling has just ascended the throne and has many important matters to be busy with. After being busy for a while, it will take less than a year and a half, even if Li Ling does not organize the Ministry of Rites It's time to meet Guang Na's harem.

At that time, once new people were continuously brought in, how could the remaining half of the palace people be busy?

 Li Dequan glanced at Jing Shu beside him and replied cautiously: "Your Majesty, these female officials and maids cannot be trained in a short time. If the inner palace is full in the future, there will not be enough people in the palace."

When Li Dequan said this, Li Ling finally understood. He frowned slightly, his face became colder, and he replied: "There will always be only one queen in my harem."

With that said, he solemnly ordered Li Dequan: "You should pass this on by the way. If anyone talks nonsense about my harem, no matter who they are, they will be punished with thirty sticks and driven out of the palace."

Li Ling has always been decisive in doing things. Not only as an emperor now, but also when he was in the palace, he was always decisive. He only doted on Jing Shu for so many years and there was no concubine in the house. How could any girl or servant dare to gossip behind her back? Li Dequan hurriedly agreed and bowed down.

A husband is better than a wife. Jingshu knew that Li Ling was angry because the palace maid had spoiled Sister Bao's ears by talking too much. When only the husband and wife were left in the palace, Jingshu said: "Emperors in past dynasties all had three palaces and six courtyards. Now you only have three palaces and six courtyards." As a queen like me, it is inevitable that the people below will not think too much about it. This is normal. My daughter has understood some things. Even if she heard a few words, you only need to explain it clearly to her. You don't have to take it to heart or get angry. "

Speaking of his daughter, Li Ling said to Jing Shu: "I also think it's time to enlighten Sister Bao now."

Sister Bao is the same age as Brother Xuan. When Brother Xuan was in the palace, Li Ling had already taught him martial arts and literature strictly. Regardless of the severe cold or scorching heat, the little guy would get up before dawn every day to practice martial arts with his father. I have learned that I can read a small book by myself.

Sister Bao Bao has always been playful. Every time Jing Shu asked her to read and practice the piano, she always refused. When she was forced to become anxious, the little kid went to Li Ling, a big supporter, to act like a spoiled child.

Li Ling has always doted on his daughter, but as soon as Sister Bao acted coquettishly, he would lose all principles. He only felt sorry for his daughter who was still young, and would not let her suffer and be wronged.

Sister Bao's words today awakened Li Ling.

My daughter is already sensible. We can no longer let her play like this and imitate those talkative women. What will happen in the future?

Jingshu saw that Li Ling had finally made up his mind to enlighten Sister Bao, and she hurriedly replied: "Your daughter's slave father has finally become famous. I have already selected a female teacher for my daughter, and she will start learning tomorrow."

Li Ling frowned slightly and said worriedly: "Just the first few times I asked her to study, she always cried. I was worried that she would cry badly."

Jingshu was worried that Li Ling was soft-hearted, so she hurriedly replied: "She is crying to show you. As long as you are determined, don't worry. Once she knows that you are determined to let her learn, she will also Just give in."

Jingshu lectured, and when she saw Li Ling still sitting there with her eyebrows furrowed in thought, Jingshu warned him: "We have agreed to let my sister study from tomorrow and we can't waver anymore. Don't see her." Crying makes you soft-hearted. Today Pingyang said that even Sister Qing is enlightened now. Sister Qing is only so old, but she is more than a year younger than our Sister Bao. Now she has learned more than a hundred words, and she has also begun to play music, chess, calligraphy and painting. Learned."

Li Ling saw Jingshu praising someone else's daughter, and he replied unconvinced: "Our sister Bao is smart, so there is no need to rush."

Jing Shu replied: "Even if your daughter is smarter than others, she should learn it as soon as possible. I'm warning you, if you continue to spoil her like this, our daughter will really be spoiled by your father." It’s been delayed.”

Li Ling glanced at his wife's cold little face and hurriedly replied: "I know, I know."

As he spoke, he sighed slightly and said to Jingshu: "Let's talk to Sister Bao about this together tomorrow. If she refuses for a moment, you can't rush her. She's still young, so just take your time. If I push her too hard, I'm afraid the child will cry and get angry."

Jingshu nodded and said: "I understand the seriousness, but there is one thing. If she cries, you are not allowed to follow her unprincipledly."

Li Ling responded distressedly: "Okay."
