Rebirth of the High Gate Mistress

Chapter 440: Matchmaking

Sure enough, when Sister Bao saw that Li Ling was gone and no one was there to support her, the little guy finished the sweet-scented osmanthus candy cake on the small plate in a depressed manner, and finally followed Jing Shu to the study room dejectedly.

Jingshu finally sent her daughter to study. When she returned to Jiaofang Hall, she seemed to have solved a major problem on her mind. Jingshu sat on the soft chair and let out a long sigh of relief.

Ziyun gently squeezed Jingshu's back and said with a smile: "Your Majesty finally made up his mind to send the princess to the study. Seeing His Majesty's repeated wavering this morning made even me sweat."

Eminem, who was accompanying Jing Shu, echoed: "Isn't that right? Your Majesty really dotes on your daughter too much. When the princess was a child, she was just as well-behaved as the empress. Now she is so spoiled by His Majesty. She is so petty, except for horse racing. You can’t do anything, hey! When I was as old as she was, I was very good at music, chess, calligraphy and painting, and even nvhong had learned to do it. When I was eight years old, I could even embroider."

Ziyun hurriedly advised Amu: "Amu, please don't say that. Princess Bao is your Majesty's heart. It would be a big deal if your words reach His Majesty's ears."

When it was mentioned that Li Ling doted on his daughter, Jing Shu felt worried. She was really afraid that her daughter would be spoiled by Li Ling. Jing Shu replied: "What can't be said? Eminem is telling the truth. You all have worries." My husband, you have really spoiled this child rotten, and this cannot continue. Now that she has finally been sent to the study room to study, it is time for me to discipline and discipline this child."

Ziyun smiled and said: "If the queen wants to take care of the princess, I'm afraid your majesty will feel distressed again. You haven't seen the princess making such a fuss early in the morning. Your majesty didn't even eat breakfast."

Referring to this issue, Jingshu told Danzhu: "Your Majesty's breakfast is useless. Later, you can go to the imperial kitchen to get some food and send it to Qinzheng Hall for your Majesty's breakfast."

 Li Ling went to the Qinzheng Hall every day to review the memorials.

Danzhu agreed, turned around and left the main hall and went to the imperial kitchen.

After worrying about her daughter and husband, Jingshu glanced at Ziyun who was serving at the side and said: "You are not young anymore. In the past, when I mentioned marriage matters to you, you always shied away. Now that we have entered the palace, you are also decent. It’s time for a female officer to consider her life-long affairs.”

When Ziyun heard Jingshu mention this, she lowered her head shyly and hummed like a mosquito: "Okay, why are you bringing this up again? My slave has said that I never want to get married in this life. I want to stay with my queen."

Jingshu scolded Ziyun and said, "It's time for men to get married, and for women to get married. There's no reason for you to stay with me all the time."

Amu also regarded Ziyun as her daughter. She heard the words and echoed: "My queen is right, you are not young now, but it's time to get married. If you wait a few more years, it will be difficult to get married."

With that said, Eminem reminded Jing Shu: "I saw that Liang Jin was a good man when we were at Zhen Guogong's Mansion. I asked carefully that he hasn't gotten married yet, so why doesn't the empress arrange for Ziyun to marry him."

When Ziyun heard this, her face suddenly turned red to the base of her neck. She covered her face and said, "What are you talking about? I'm so embarrassed."

Jing Shu pulled Ziyun and said, "I told you about Liang Jin a long time ago. At that time, you always said that you were of low status and not worthy of him. Now, although he is the commander of the imperial army, you are also a first-class female officer, so you are not worthy of him." Called a good match."

Amu also followed suit: "That is, although he is a very popular minister, you are also a first-class female official next to the empress, and you are completely worthy of him."

Seeing that the two of them were clinging to this matter, Ziyun waved his hands and said, "Your Majesty and Ammo will mention this matter again. Mr. Liang is not a good match for me, and even if he is married, I will definitely not marry him." .”

As she said that, she changed the subject and said: "Princess Bao is about to get out of school. I will go to the study to bring her back." After saying that, Ziyun turned around and hurried out of the palace, but she happened to meet Li Ling holding Bao in his arms. Sister came in, and happened to be followed by Liang Jin, the commander of the Imperial Army.

Liang Jin saw Ziyun and nodded slightly towards her. Ziyun's face turned red involuntarily. He hurriedly greeted Li Ling, turned around and returned to the main hall, and reported back to Jingshu: "Your Majesty, your Majesty, please take care of me." Princess Zhubao is back."

Jingshu hurriedly stood up and went to greet her. Sister Bao was being held by Li Ling, and she said happily to Jingshu: "Mother, my father said he would take me to horse racing."

Jingshu said angrily: "Your father has to approve the papers in the second half of the day, so how can he have time to take you to horse racing?"

Li Ling replied: "I will take her to play for a while and then get busy later."

With that said, Li Ling put down his daughter and told the maid in the palace: "Let's take the princess to change her clothes first."

After Sister Bao happily followed the maid out, Jingshu couldn't help complaining to Li Ling: "You are so busy, why are you going horse racing with your daughter?"

Li Ling helped his pregnant wife lean on the soft couch and replied, "I'm worried that she'll get angry after being detained in the study for the past two days, so I'll take her out to relax."

Jingshu asked: "Sister Bao, who you went to pick up in person after leaving the court?"

Li Ling nodded and said, "I don't worry about her."

As he said that, Li Ling excitedly said to Jing Shu: "I peeked at my daughter outside the study room for a long time today. Don't look at her making noises and refusing to go to school. When she really starts studying with the Taifu, this child will still be there. It's quite similar to that, haha, I actually recognized a lot of words this morning."

Jingshu asked: "How many words did she recognize?"

 Li Ling stretched out three fingers and waved them in front of Jing Shu as if to show off. Seeing that his wife's face turned dull, Li Ling hurriedly spoke for his daughter: "It's only her first day of study, which is already very good."

 Speaking, Li Ling added: "Now that the two children are officially enlightened, I plan to find some reading companions for them."

The princes and princesses all have reading companions when they study. Those who are qualified to serve as reading companions for the royal family must have a prominent family, and their daughters must also have good conduct and intelligence. This is because these princes' companions have studied with the prince since they were young. After the prince succeeds to the throne, these companions will also serve as the emperor's confidants. Therefore, aristocratic families all hope that their children can have this opportunity. After all, once they become the prince's companions, their children will not have to worry about a good future in the future. As the princess's companion, he will at least be granted the title of county lord in the future, and his status will naturally increase.

Jing Shu heard that Li Ling mentioned this, and she replied: "It's up to you to choose Brother Xuan's reading companion, and I'll choose Sister Bao's reading companion. Now that we have settled down in the palace, I will announce who will be the one after a while." My wife brought her daughter to the palace for a gathering. Firstly, I will help you win over the ministers. Secondly, I will also meet the young girls of the right age from the families of these important ministers and select a few to come in and accompany Sister Bao."

Li Ling agreed, and gave his wife some advice about the pregnancy. Then he put on his horse riding attire, went to the side hall to pick up his daughter, and took her to ride horses and play with her.
