Rebirth of the High Gate Mistress

Li Ling went on a personal expedition, and the battle with the Gaoshan Kingdom went very smoothly. Although the Gaoshan Kingdom had many mountains and rivers as barriers, Li Ling used his troops treacherously. He did not use force to attack, but took advantage of the autumn climate and wind direction characteristics to use fire attacks. , no matter how easy to defend or difficult to attack the mountain range, as long as there is a fire, it can be destroyed without attack. The army broke through the barrier and successfully entered the territory of Gaoshan Kingdom. The enemy army was retreating steadily. Li Ling defeated the enemy in a row in just half a month. Seven cities, the army marched straight towards the capital of the mountain country.

On the day when Li Ling personally led his army to the city, he discussed with the generals how to break the city, and before falling asleep, he wrote a letter to his wife who was far away.

In the past, when he was still the heir to the palace, he was away on war all the year round and had limited time to spend with his wife. But now that he has been the emperor for so many years, he does not have to fight in the east and west. Although he is busy with government affairs every day, he can still I have been with my beloved wife day and night, and now that I have been separated for such a long time, I feel that I miss her more and more.

Li Ling finished writing the letter home, handed it to his attendants, and ordered: "Send it back together with the news of the army's victory. Give this letter directly to the queen."

Although the mountains and roads are far away, Jingshu received Li Ling's handwritten letter within a few days because her husband's home letter was bundled with the military news and was sent back in a hurry.

The prince took out the handwritten letters from his father to his mother from the good news, and personally came to Jiaofang Palace to hand them over to his mother. Princess Bao and Ji'er were also beside Jing Shu. Jing Shu couldn't help but smile when she looked at the familiar handwriting on the envelope. It curved out a sweet arc.

Although reports from the front line came back from time to time, Jingshu also knew that everything was fine with her husband, but being able to see her husband's handwriting with her own eyes could always greatly ease her longing.

Jing Shu looked at the book. Although she couldn't wait to open it, she didn't rush to open it. She raised her eyes to look at the children and said, "The prince is very busy in governing the country every day. Sister Bao and Ji'er are also very busy." You have schoolwork to attend to, so don’t waste your time here with the Queen Mother, and go and do your own business.”

Normally, as long as the father and mother are together, they will find ways to separate them. Now that the father is away, the mother has to drive them away.

Princess Bao was the first to have an opinion. She stared at her father's family letter and asked her mother, "We also want to see our father's family letter."

Ji'er also echoed: "Sister Huang is right, Ji'er wants to know what the father said in the letter."

Jingshu frowned slightly and replied: "After my mother has seen it, I will let you know."

The prince is more mature and sensible than his younger brothers and sisters. When he saw his mother's expression of embarrassment, he persuaded his younger brothers and sisters: "This is a letter from my father to my queen. It is not good for others. If my father mentions us in the letter, my mother will naturally tell her." That’s us.”

“Every time our father’s family letters are written to the queen, we are not allowed to read them.” Princess Bao smiled evilly when she heard this: “Is it possible that there are any love words in the family letters that my father gave to my mother?”

Ji'er was only seven years old. After listening to his sister's words, he blinked his dark eyes and asked, "What are 'love words'?"

"Children, don't interrupt if you don't understand." Princess Bao rolled her eyes at her younger brother, then looked at her mother and asked mischievously: "Mother, every time you don't allow us to read our father's family letters, please tell us the truth. What exactly was written?”

Jingshu held the letter tightly, raised her hand and patted her daughter's arm, and said angrily: "You kid, even your father and mother are making fun of you. You are getting more and more unruly."

As she spoke, she glanced at her eldest son and youngest son, and pretended to be calm and said: "Every time your father mentions things in his family letters, they are serious things. Don't talk nonsense."

After saying this, Jing Shu glanced at the family letter in her hand and added: "Your father is an emperor, and he is the most solemn person."

Ji'er blinked, unable to tell whether her mother's words were true or false. The prince agreed with his mother sensibly, "My father has always been majestic. Even in his family letters, what he said to his mother must be important matters in the harem."

As soon as the prince finished speaking, Princess Bao said angrily: "If that's the case, then why doesn't the queen open the letter in front of us?"

 As a parent, you will never show shyness in front of your children. She is a queen, and she must not lose her majesty and dignity.

Jing Shu saw the three children staring at her. She cleared her throat and pretended to be calm and said, "Just tear it down."

She raised her hand and carefully opened the letter, looked up at the children, and asked, "Do you want to read it with me?"

Although it was a question, there was no sincerity in the words. On the contrary, it was because I was afraid that they would come over without knowing what they were doing.

Just as Princess Bao was about to speak, the prince rushed to reply: "The queen mother can see for herself. If the father has anything to say to us in her heart, the queen mother will tell us in person."

"Okay." Jing Shu secretly breathed a sigh of relief, raised her eyes and glanced at the children, then with a hint of caution, she started reading the letter.

When he first got married, Li Ling would send letters home from time to time every time he went on an expedition. However, his letters home were very short, sometimes just a few words. Now, Li Ling, a straight man, has also been transformed by Jing Shu. There has to be a change, but you can see it from the letters home.

There was a long letter from home. In the letter, he talked to his wife about the customs of Gaoshan Country and some trivial matters of life, such as the weather getting colder day by day. Whenever he had free time, he always wanted to indulge in Jingshu’s spicy spicy soup. Although there are no words of love in the eloquent pages of the letter, there is a love of lovesickness that cannot be concealed between the lines.

As for others, including several children, he did not mention a word.

In front of several children, Jingshu didn't want to savor it carefully. She looked at it briefly, then raised her eyes to look at the children who were waiting eagerly, and said: "What your father said is correct." Especially for you, he has repeatedly told you to be motivated, to be modest, and to listen to your mother." After saying that, without waiting for the children to react, she quickly folded the letter in her hand and put it in her sleeve. Bag.

It was Princess Bao who spoke first again. She glanced at her mouth and said simply: "I don't believe it!"

She looked at her mother: "If my father said this, how could you keep laughing when you read the letter?"

Jing Shu was surprised: "Where am I laughing?"

Princess Bao smiled and replied: "Although your face has been trying to remain calm, your eyes are full of smiles." She said proudly: "I am your biological daughter, you can't deceive me."

Ji'er looked up at her sister, then at her mother, and echoed, "I also saw the corners of my mother's mouth slightly raised twice when she was reading the letter."

These children are becoming more and more annoying as they grow up, and it is always difficult to hide secrets from them.

“Believe it or not, I’m tired and I’m going to rest.”

Since she couldn't get into trouble, it was the best plan. Jingshu left the difficult children behind and went straight back to the inner hall.

After all, it’s the old age that makes Princess Bao want to keep entangled, but she didn’t expect that her mother would just leave. She froze on the spot, pursed her lips at her brother, and said unwillingly: “I just said that my father’s royal letter This is definitely not what is written in the article, the queen mother is acting like this because of her guilty conscience."
