Rebirth of the High Gate Mistress

Chapter 552 Seven Emotions and Six Desires

On the second day, Pingyang got up early in the morning, opened the door and called Yuzhu Lantian to come in and serve.

The two of them carried the toiletries into the house. Lantian made the bed, and Yuzhu helped Pingyang wash up and put on makeup. She glanced at Pingyang's still cold face in the mirror and persuaded her: "Madam, don't be angry anymore because of yesterday's incident." Yes, my uncle got up before dawn today, went to the kitchen in person, and ordered them to make Sister Qing’s favorite food."

“My uncle is so interested in trying to please you, so don’t hold on to him any longer.”

Pingyang thought of how her daughter had been wronged yesterday, and she still felt aggrieved. She snorted coldly and said with a wooden face: "Sister Qing is not my own child. As a father, he must cherish his daughter and also I can’t stand it if you do something special.”

As he said that, Pingyang turned to Yuzhu and asked: "How is Sister Qing? Are you up? Are you still angry?"

Yuzhu replied: "I just went to see my sister. She has already gotten up. As usual, she is busy packing up to enter the palace and go to the study.

Just as he was talking, Li Xiang opened the door and walked in, and Yuzhu and Lantian retreated wisely.

Li Xiang walked up to Pingyang, looked at her and said with a smile, "What? Are you still angry with me?"

Pingyang glanced sideways at Li Xiang through the bronze mirror without saying anything. He raised his hand to pick up the hairpin on the dressing table and planned to insert it himself. When Li Xiang, who was standing beside her, saw this, he took the hairpin from Pingyang's hand and carefully He inserted it for her.

Li Xiang looked at his wife through the rhombus mirror and praised softly, "My wife is so beautiful."

Pingyang was a pure and good-natured person. When she saw Li Xiang deliberately trying to please her, most of the anger in her heart disappeared, but her face was still cold. She glared at Li Xiang and said lightly: "Of course I know that I She is beautiful, you don’t need to say it.”

 After saying that, she twisted her waist, walked out of the room, and called the servant girl to set the meal.

After breakfast, Li Xiang took Sister Qing to the imperial city with him. Pingyang also followed him out of the courtyard, and was helped by a maid into a carriage, heading towards the royal garden on the outskirts of Beijing.

Now that Jingshu is seriously ill, Li Ling has placed her in a separate garden to recuperate, and explicitly prohibits others from disturbing her. Even Pingyang and Xu Wanning are sensible and cannot go there often, but they are relatives after all, and they still have to go every ten or eight days. Went to visit.

Pingyang came to Bieyuan. Jingshu had just finished taking the medicine while being served by Ziyun. She saw Pingyang with a smile on her face and said: "It's such a cold day, why don't you come here? I've been much better recently. Don't you guys?" Be mindful.”

Jingshu is like this, no matter how uncomfortable she is, she won't cry out in pain. She is obviously getting more and more haggard, but every time she comes to visit her, she always says that she is getting better.

Pingyang endured the sadness and went up to greet Jingshu, then sat down on the embroidered pillar beside the bed and said with a smile: "Second sister-in-law's complexion does look much better."

Pingyang did not dare to disturb the patient any more. After a few words of greeting and greetings, he ordered Yuzhu who came with him to bring the ginseng that Mrs. Xie had given her, and said, "This is my mother-in-law's filial piety to my second sister-in-law."

Hearing the sound, Jingshu glanced at the ginseng and said in surprise: "Such a good ginseng, this is really the first time I have seen it."

As she spoke, she looked at Pingyang: "Such a good ginseng would probably take thousands of years to grow."

"This ginseng is really good." Seeing that Jingshu liked it, Pingyang was about to tell the anecdotes about this ginseng that Mrs. She was worried because you were sick, and His Majesty did not allow the wife to visit you in the palace, so she specially asked me to send this ginseng."

“This ginseng tree grew on Lingshan Mountain in Yizhou. It was given to my sister-in-law by a respected old monk in the temple.”

Jingshu is such a perceptive person. When she heard this, she understood Pingyang's intention. She smiled and replied: "My illness has affected the hearts of so many people. It shouldn't be. Although I am not related to your sister-in-law." She is familiar with her, but I have heard of her good reputation when I was in my boudoir. Since it is her intention, I will accept it." As she said that, she said to Ziyun beside her: "Go and pay tribute from outside the vassal state. Get the box of Nanzhu."

Ziyun accepted the order, and after a while he got the things Jingshu told him. Jingshu said to Pingyang: "I accept your sister-in-law's kindness. This thing can be regarded as my return gift. You can help me bring it to you." she."

After a while, Li Ling went down to the court and came to Bieyuan. As soon as he entered the room, he saw the ginseng tree placed on the table. Li Xiang picked it up and looked at it, and also praised: "Such a good ginseng tree, it is Where did it come from?"

Jingshu replied truthfully: "This is Pingyang's sister-in-law, Mrs. Xie, the wife of Prince Yong's Palace, who asked Pingyang to give it to me."

When Li Ling heard this, he nodded slightly and said to the palace attendant: "This ginseng is of the highest quality. Take it and use it to make soup for the empress every day."

The palace attendant took the order and left with the ginseng in hand. Jingshu looked at Li Ling and said, "Don't be burdened. When Pingyang sent this ginseng today, I already gave it a return gift."

 Nowadays, the Qi State is rich and powerful, and Li Ling is working hard to govern. He has always wanted to weaken the power of the vassal kings and concentrate power in the hands of the imperial power.

 Jing Shu naturally knows this.

 Therefore, she did not want to tie her husband's hands and feet because of her dealings with the feudal prince's female family members.

After listening to his wife's words, Li Ling understood what she was thinking. He sat down by the bed, looked at his wife, and said, "Such a good ginseng will be of great help to your health. Since Prince Yong's palace has sent it, it's time to collect it." After all, you are the queen, and they should be filial and fawning over you."

Jingshu laughed: "If your words are heard by the official, I will be drowned by the impeachment details of the Yushitai."

Li Ling joked: "You, the queen, are more cautious than me, the emperor. Haha, if they impeach me, they are also impeaching me, the emperor's favorite, for going too far. Don't worry, you, the queen, will not be blamed. "

Jingshu glared at Li Ling and replied: "Then people will say that I have bewitched the Sacred Heart. I don't want to be the Demon Queen."

Li Ling looked at his wife, smiled and tucked her into the bed, and murmured: "Prince Yong's Mansion, Mr.

After Jingshu heard this, she frowned slightly and asked, "You don't really want to treat Prince Yong's Mansion differently because of this, do you?"

 “If this is the case, you are not a wise king in vain.”

Li Ling smiled and said: "Kings also have seven emotions and six desires. If Prince Yong's palace can be respectful to my queen, I will naturally keep it in mind."

With that said, he looked at Jingshu and said softly: "Don't worry, it's just a ginseng, and no one else will know it. Besides, even if I withdraw the vassal, I will only weaken their rights. Then Although Zhao Xuan is not a very shrewd master, with someone as understanding as Mr. Xie, I can rest assured about Yizhou."
