The High Gate Mistress of Rebirth

Chapter 30 This bureau is assigned to the government of the town

In the high hall of the resplendent Princess Mansion, the eldest princess sits at the top, Li Ling sits at the bottom, and the mother and son are talking.

What he said was related to Qingluan.

The eldest princess said in displeasure: "I heard that in the past few days, someone from Yushitai has handed over a note to the Holy One to impeach the inner court."

Seeing his mother's displeasure, Li Ling knew he couldn't hide it, so he simply admitted, "It was indeed my son who did it."

The eldest princess sighed, and said: "Bo Yue, you are so confused. It's not that you don't understand the current situation in the court. Why do you want to get involved? You know that your majesty most taboos military generals and eunuchs for cliques, so why don't you?"

Li Ling rushed to argue: "Mother, the son has not formed a party, and he does not want to participate in the dispute between the crown prince and the king of Jin. The son is only for the sake of"

The eldest princess waved her hand and said: "I know you are protecting Qingluan, but you can't lose your sense of proportion because of this. The inner court has been procrastinating about Qingluan again and again, but they haven't found out why. It's clearly ordered by the sage." , can't you understand?"

Li Ling became an official at the age of 14, and was an official in the Royal Forest at the age of 17. Now at the age of 22, he is the second-rank chief of the capital's army and horse department, in charge of the defense inside and outside the capital.

He can occupy such a high position, not because of the nepotism of the princess mother and the prestige of the aristocratic family of the Duke of Zhenguo. If he does not have real talents and extraordinary mind, ordinary people will definitely not be able to take up this important position.

Of course he could understand the situation.

Li Ling said in a low voice: "At the beginning, my little aunt entered the palace for the sake of the Zhen Guogong's mansion. Now my cousin is alone in the palace and is bullied by others. If we can't stand up for her, who else can she rely on?"

The eldest princess knew her son, he looked cold and solemn, but he was a very responsible and bloody person. She was happy to have such a son, but couldn't help worrying.She was born in the royal family, and she is used to the bloody storm of seizing power, so her mind is naturally superior to ordinary people.

Those who are responsible can succeed, but they are also more likely to be used by others.

The eldest princess's face softened a little, she looked at Li Ling and said, "Mother knows your intentions, but this matter is definitely not what you think."

She slowed down, and continued: "It seems that this matter is only caused by the eighth princess's rift with the ninth princess. In fact, what is hidden behind it is the dispute between the crown prince and the king of Jin."

Hearing what his mother said, Li Ling's eyes moved slightly, which was not unexpected to him.

The eldest princess sighed, and said slowly: "Nine times out of ten, this matter is the work of the successor Cao, and the eighth princess is just following her way. If you force yourself to stand out for Qingluan, you will be completely offended." If you become the King of Jin, then you can't help yourself if you don't want to rely on the Cao family and the crown prince."

The eighth princess and the king of Jin were descended from Concubine Meng, and the crown prince was the descendant of the Cao family.King Jin has always been eyeing the crown prince's position, and now the two factions are fighting each other.

However, Princess Chang and the government of Zhen Guo have always maintained a neutral attitude.

This bureau was assigned by the Cao family to the government of Zhen Guo.

If we can win the support of the eldest princess and the government of Zhen Guo, the crown prince can sit back and relax!
Li Ling sighed, and said, "My son understands, I just feel sorry for my cousin."

The son is not a fool, seeing what he said, the eldest princess felt relieved and said: "Tomorrow, you pass a sign to the palace to let the old lady come into the palace to see her." After saying that, the eldest princess asked again: "Yesterday, I heard that the doctor Zhang who came to ask for pulse said that the old lady is ill. How is it now?"

Li Ling replied: "Yesterday, Shu'er and I stayed there all night. Grandma ate in the middle of the night. Before I came out this morning, I went over and saw that it was much better than yesterday. Shu'er is serving there. Mother, don't worry."

The eldest princess nodded slightly, and said: "Shu'er is a good person, treat her well."

Li Ling's eyes moved slightly, his face showed a trace of tenderness, and he replied: "If mother likes her, I will ask her to come and accompany you often."

The eldest princess replied: "Let's talk about it after I've been busy for a while, I also have something for her."

Li Ling asked, "Do you want me to bring it for mother?"

The eldest princess glanced at her son, and said, "Let Nanny Ju send it some other day, you can go and do your work."
-
In Anxi Hall, the old lady is indeed much better today, and she can already get up.

Jing Shu and Nanny Xu were feeding the old lady medicine in front of the couch, when Xu Wanning rushed in from outside in a hurry.

"Grandmother, I heard that you were ill when I walked in the door. How are you doing now?"

The old lady smiled slightly, and said: "It's all old problems, it's nothing serious, how can one not have a headache when you are old, just don't make a fuss about it."

Xu Wanning was especially worried, and looked at Jing Shu who was beside her, Jing Shu said: "The imperial doctor Zhang came to ask for pulse again this morning, and said that there is nothing serious, let me take two more medicines, it will last for a few days."

Xu Wanning let out a long breath, and said: "Then I'm relieved." After finishing speaking, she went to the table and poured a cup of tea, and drank it down with her head raised.

Seeing her reckless appearance, the old lady smiled and said, "Why are you so thirsty?"

Xu Wanning tried the corners of her mouth with a handkerchief, and replied embarrassedly: "I just came from the family temple early in the morning. I heard that you were sick when I entered the door. I haven't had time to go back."

Hearing that she came from the family temple, the old lady's face darkened.

Xu Wanning was afraid to avoid this mother-in-law. When Jing Shu heard that Xu Wanning came from the family temple, she guessed that it must be the second aunt Guo who was acting as a monster to embarrass her daughter-in-law again. She was worried that the old lady would get angry when she heard these bad things, and hurriedly Said: "Sister-in-law is worried about Second Aunt, so she sent some things over yesterday."

Xu Wanning listened to Jing Shu's words, her phoenix eyes moved slightly, and she also knew that she had slipped her words, so she quickly answered with a smile: "Yes, I went there yesterday morning to send some clothes and some delicious food to my mother-in-law, and she Stay with me for one night."

The old lady said lightly: "Even if you go to the family temple, you can't do without her food and clothing."

Aunt Xu on the side echoed, "There is no shortage of food and clothing, but it's just rare for Da Furen's filial piety."

After hearing Madam Xu's words, Xu Wanning's face twitched slightly.

The old lady didn't like Guo Shi, and she didn't bother to mention her again, so she changed the subject and asked, "How is Da Lang?"

Xu Wanning replied with a smile: "Okay, now I have started to read, I will bring it to my grandmother to see."

The old lady smiled and said: "Even the eldest sister brought me to have a look."

Xu Wanning agreed.

Everyone talked with the old lady, worried that she was tired, so they all retreated, closed the door, and let the old lady rest at ease.

After leaving the Anxi Hall, Xu Wanning couldn't help complaining to Jingshu: "My mother-in-law really owed her in my previous life. She didn't tell me to stop when she went to the family temple. She called me away yesterday and she just kept on making troubles. I didn't get much sleep all night."

Jing Shu said: "Next time she tosses you again, you just say that there is something in the house and you can't get away."

Xu Wanning sighed, and complained: "After she left, it was so easy for me to be clean for a few days, so why would I want to go to her to find bad luck? Isn't it because of our good old man who is 'filial'? If I don't go, he will still Don't eat me, hum! I've only been back for a few days, and because of his mother's business, I'm going to make trouble with me everywhere."

It's really enough to have such a foolish and filial husband at the booth.

Seeing Xu Wanning's sad face, Jing Shu felt distressed, but she didn't have any idea to help her. It's not easy for outsiders to intervene in the affairs of husband and wife.

Jing Shu changed the topic and asked, "I heard that the uncle went to the south to supervise the water control mission and did a good job. It made the Holy Lord Long Yan very happy. Maybe he will be promoted this time."

Xu Wanning's face softened slightly, and she said with a smile: "Who knows, it also depends on the grace of the Holy One."

Just as she was talking, Yingchun, the girl in Xu Wanning's room, came over to her face, and Xu Wanning asked, "Why are you here looking for me?"

Yingchun replied: "The reward has been issued in the palace, and Madam Zhang asked the servants to come and find Madam to go back and check."

Jing Shu looked at Xu Wanning and said with a smile, "What are you talking about?"

Xu Wanning blinked at her, then turned to Yingchun and asked, "I've given you a reward and let Granny Zhang take the warehouse, why are you here looking for me?"

Yingchun faltered and said: "Yes, yes, what, Granny Zhang doesn't know how to arrange it."

Hearing this, Xu Wanning's face darkened, and she asked, "What are you rewarding for?"

Yingchun replied: "I saw several batches of Shu brocades, some calligraphy and painting antiques, gold and silver jewelry, and more." Yingchun glanced at Jingshu at the side, and said falteringly: "There is, that, madam Go back and check it out.”

Xu Wanning is short-tempered. Seeing that she was hesitating, she hurriedly said: "If there is anything else, just tell me now. What are you hesitating for? The second lady is not an outsider!"

Yingchun lowered her head and said in a low voice: "The Holy Majesty also rewarded a palace concubine. Granny Zhang didn't know which courtyard she should put in, so I asked my servants to look for my wife."
