Rebirth of the High Gate Mistress

Chapter 518: Match

Brother Xuan has been established as the prince since he was a child. Even though he is not a womanizer like Li Ling, in the future the three palaces and six courtyards will have to be expanded according to the ancestral system.

 This is not something Brother Xuan can control, let alone something Jing Shu can reverse.

Thinking of this, Jingshu smiled bitterly and shook her head: "Isn't it that I haven't reached the age yet? Until then, let's talk about it. Brother Zuoxuan won't let me choose his bed now, so I will simply give up. I don’t care about my hands anymore.”

Xu Wanning became interested when she saw Dong Qing. When she heard what Jing Shu said, she didn't beat around the bush and asked directly: "Then you don't plan to keep this little official anymore for Brother Xuan."

These days, Xu Wanning has met many famous ladies for her eldest son Kun, but none of them can compare with Dong Qing.

If Jing Shu doesn't want to leave it to her son, then Xu Wanning plans to take action for her son.

Jingshu looked at Xu Wanning's eager look and asked directly: "You also like this girl and want to marry Brother Kun?"

Xu Wanning said cheerfully: "If you don't want me, then I will. Once such a good girl is released from the palace, many people may come to **** her. It's better for me to be the first to get the moon."

Jingshu smiled and replied: "Sister-in-law has good eyesight. This girl is indeed an excellent one. Since Brother Xuan doesn't want to stay, naturally I can't hold her back."

When Xu Wanning heard this, she said excitedly: "Then I will ask someone to go to the Liu family for matchmaking in a while."

Pingyang smiled and said: "Looking at how anxious my sister-in-law is, I really wish I could marry her home right away."

Jingshu advised: "Dong Qing won't get haircut until next year. Sister-in-law, don't be anxious. After all, you are marrying Brother Kun. You should discuss this matter with him."

Pingyang had been away from Beijing for a long time, and the three sisters-in-law hadn't been together for a long time. At noon, Jingshu left the two of them to have a meal in the palace, and ordered someone to go to Jinyan's mansion to fetch her and her youngest son. After the children who were studying in the study room finished their afternoon classes, the family gathered together for a reunion dinner.

Sister Bao heard that there was a party at noon, so she ran back to Jiaofang Hall after school. In addition to Sister Qing, she also brought Sister Xue who was also studying in the study room.

The little girls are at their prime age. Princess Bao is bright and bright; Sister Qing is energetic; Xueer is quiet and restrained. Although she is still young, she already shows her allure.

Jingshu saw her niece and hurriedly waved her hand: "Sister Xue, come to my aunt quickly. I haven't seen you for several days and my aunt has missed you."

Sister Xue first saluted Jingshu respectfully, and then slowly stepped forward. Jingshu pulled her and said, "Why haven't you come to Jiaofang Hall to play for a while?"

Without waiting for Sister Xue's answer, Princess Bao, who was sitting on the other side of Jingshu, said, "Today I told you, Queen Mother, that you asked her to come, but she still didn't want to come. It was me who forced her here."

Sister Xue hurriedly replied: "My aunt has distinguished guests here, and I don't want to disturb them."

Xu Wanning looked at the pretty little girl and said with a smile: "What a distinguished guest, we are all a family. Although your child is young, you really like to meet outsiders."

Jingshu touched her niece's hair lovingly and said, "All the people here today are from the government, and there are no outsiders. Don't think too much about it and just enjoy a meal with your aunt."

Just as he was talking, brothers Prince Xuan and Brother Ping also entered the hall.

Although they are brothers, the children have grown up now and know the rules. Although Brother Ping is naughty, he walks behind Brother Xuan, not far or close, and he is no longer as ignorant of the rules as he was when he was a child.

Although Brother Xuan is still a young man, he has a noble status and behaves calmly and solemnly. Although he is young, his aura is already awe-inspiring. As soon as he came in, everyone who was joking in the hall closed their eyes in unison. Mouthed.

Brother Xuan first said hello respectfully to Jingshu, then to his aunt and uncle, and then sat down in his seat.

Everyone is here, Jing Shu orders the meal to be served. Jing Shu sat at the main seat, Xu Wanning and Ping Yang sat next to her on the left and right, Jin Yan sat next to Xu Wanning, the girls sat on one side, and Brother Xuan and Brother Ping sat on the other side.

Jing Shu saw Xu Wanning staring at Dong Qing standing behind her from time to time. She couldn't help laughing in her heart, so she turned to Dong Qing and said, "Today we are all members of the family, so Dong Qing is here to use it too."

The palace is different from other places. It pays great attention to rules. After hearing this, Dong Qing was stunned for a moment, and then hurriedly replied: "Thank you for your love, I don't dare to overstep it."

Outside, she would be the noble daughter of the general's palace, but in front of the emperor's house, no matter how prominent she was, she would still be treated as a servant.

“It’s okay, if I ask you to take a seat, just take a seat.”

Seeing that Dong Qing was still hesitating, Xu Wanning couldn't help but said: "It's okay. Since the empress has spoken, just sit down. Come on, sit next to me."

With that said, Xu Wanning moved the chair slightly, and the people in the banquet palace understood and hurriedly added another chair.

 The dining table is wide and there is a proper distance between everyone. Even if a chair is added, it will not be crowded.

Jingshu looked at Xu Wanning's attentiveness to Dong Qing, and couldn't help but smile and think: What a good mother-in-law, she protected her daughter-in-law before she even came through.

Dong Qing sat down next to Xu Wanning with a slight fear. Seeing her uneasiness, Xu Wanning reached out to hold her hand and said kindly: "If we talk about it, our Duke's Palace has a close relationship with your General's Palace. We are family friends."

The ancestral home of the Liu family is Jizhou. They were transferred back to Beijing in the past two years. How can we start such a long-term friendship?

Pingyang covered his mouth, while Jin Yan couldn't help but laugh on the spot.

As soon as the words came out, Xu Wanning also realized her gaffe. She frowned and added, "It seems inappropriate to say they are family friends, but our two families must be related."

Jin Yan suppressed her laughter and asked deliberately: "Sister-in-law, what is the connection between our family and the Liu family?"

Xu Wanning thought hard for a while, but couldn't think of a solution. She glared at Jin Yan angrily.

Jingshu couldn't bear to see Xu Wanning embarrassed in front of her future daughter-in-law, so she handed her the steps and said, "Isn't my grandmother's natal family, the daughter-in-law of the second son of King Murong of Jiangdong, from the Liu family of Jizhou?"

The Liu family is a large family in Jizhou, and their married daughters can be said to have spread across half of Daqi.

Dong Qing, a little girl who has followed her father to Beijing since she was a child, how can she understand this clearly?

She pursed her lips and smiled forcefully, looked at Xu Wanning and said: "So, our two families do have some connections."

Xu Wanning said hurriedly: "Yes, yes, yes, let me just say that our two families are related. In this way, they are not family friends, but real relatives."

Jingshu blinked.

Pingyang Su covered his mouth with his hands, forcing himself to hold back his laughter.

Jin Yan was not as strong-willed as her two sisters-in-law. She was drinking soup and she was so happy that she squirted out a mouthful of soup, all of which spilled onto Xu Wanning's skirt.
