The High Gate Mistress of Rebirth

Chapter 37
After entering the Anxi Hall, the four of them asked the old lady to sit down.

The old lady said straight to the point: "The ninth princess was ill a while ago." As she spoke, the old lady couldn't stop crying, and she didn't want her children and grandchildren to see her sadness, so she quickly wiped away the tears , forced a smile and said: "Brother Ling handed over the sign to the palace a few days ago, I want to go to the palace to see her."

Xu Wanning sat at the head of the old lady, brought tea to the old lady, and asked, "Is there a reply from the palace?"

The old lady said: "I wrote back this morning, saying that we are allowed to go to the two female relatives in the future."

"You are allowed to go to two?" Xu Wanning looked at the old lady in surprise and said, "In our house, you are the only one who always has orders."

Li Xian picked up the teacup, took a sip, and said with a smile on his face, "Perhaps the higher-ups are very kind to us for the sake of our family's loyalty."

The old lady nodded slightly, looked at Xu Wanning, then at Jingshu, and said, "Third girl and Qingluan have been having bad tempers, which one of you will follow."

Xu Wanning is a lively person, and she wants to go there.

Although she was born in a noble family, she has seen the world, but she has never had the chance to go to the forbidden area of ​​the inner palace.

It's just that with Jingshu around, she's not easy to argue with.

After all, Jing Shu is the wife of Shizi, with a higher status than her, so she should go to such an occasion.

Xu Wanning pursed her lips and said with a smile: "Of course it is more appropriate for the second sibling to accompany grandma."

The old lady also meant the same thing, she looked at Jingshu and said: "Then Shu'er will accompany me into the palace tomorrow."

As she spoke, the old lady looked towards her two grandsons.

The former court and the rear palace are inseparable, and the entry of women's family members into the palace is naturally also implicated in the political affairs of the men.

Li Lingduan sat next to Jingshu, with his usual indifferent face.Li Xian put down the teacup and looked around as if nothing had happened.

Seeing that the two grandsons did not express their views, the old lady looked at Jing Shu again and asked, "Then it's settled?"

Jing Shu smiled slightly, and said slowly: "I have just been in charge of the house, and I have been very busy these days, why don't I let my sister-in-law accompany you."

Xu Wanning thought that she was definitely out of luck, but she had already passed this point in her mind, and was sitting on the sidelines thinking about how to deal with the concubine that Li Xiangang had just accepted. Hearing Jing Shu's refusal to let her go, she immediately regained her spirits and sat down with a small body. Standing straight, he stared at the old lady.

Hearing this, Li Xian's eyes immediately gathered back, staring at the old lady.

The old lady looked at Jingshu and replied: "I just came back in half a day, and there is nothing important at home."

Jing Shu subconsciously glanced at Li Ling who was at the side.

Li Ling still had no expression on his face.

She looked at the old lady, with a warm smile on her face, and replied: "I really want to accompany my grandmother into the palace. Firstly, I have never been to the inner palace at this age. I also want to see the world. Second, Come on, the imperial cousin has been through a lot of troubles, and the concubine is also very concerned about her."

Jingshu paused, picked up the teapot and filled the old lady with tea, and then said: "It's rare that the superiors are kind enough to let us reunite with each other once in the palace. I think about it, my cousin must be the closest person to meet. Grandma Of course, it goes without saying that she is the grandmother of my cousin, so my cousin is naturally looking forward to you. It's just that I have just entered the mansion, and I have never met my cousin."

As she said that, she looked at Xu Wanning and said, "My sister-in-law has been in the house for five or six years. Compared with me, she naturally knows my cousin better, and my cousin is closer to her."

Seeing that the old lady seemed to be moved, Jing Shu continued: "Our family is together every day, and my cousin has suffered such a big grievance in the palace alone, so I must have a good talk with my relatives. So according to my concubine, It's better to let sister-in-law go with you, my cousin is familiar with sister-in-law, so it's easy to say what's on my mind, if I go, she will hold her face and won't let it go."

What she said made the old lady nod her head again and again, and praised: "It's still Shu'er who is careful, and really thinks about your cousin, but my grandmother, on this matter, stands on the side of our house." Saying, She looked at Xu Wanning and said, "Then everyone, please accompany me."

Xu Wanning immediately replied crisply: "Okay, then I will pack it when I get back, and I will accompany my grandmother into the palace in the future."

This matter is agreed.

Jing Shu let out a long sigh of relief, not needing to flirt with someone she didn't like.

Li Ling remained expressionless.

Li Xian put down the teacup and flicked the paper fan to look at Xu Wanning, with a little smug expression on his face.

Xu Wanning gave him a hard look, turned her head away, looked at the old lady with a smile, and then at Jingshu.

The four of them chatted with the old lady about the housework, and they didn't leave until the full moon lifted into the sky.Li Ling and Jing Shu walked towards Qingfengyuan, while Li Xian and Xu Wanning walked towards Bitangju in Xiyuan.

Hearing that she was going to enter the palace, Xu Wanning was so happy in her heart, she put all the depression and unhappiness of the past few days behind her, and she walked a lot more briskly.

Li Xian glanced at her and said: "You just have no heart, no heart at all."

Li Xian is a literati, and his aesthetics towards women tends to be more graceful, and he often dislikes Xu Wanning's carefree temperament on weekdays.

Xu Wanning was already angry with him in her heart, but when she saw him taunting her again, she asked angrily, "Why am I so careless?"

Li Xian stood still, and replied with a cold face: "The reason for the palace's kindness to allow two female family members of our mansion to enter the palace is because of my meritorious service in water control this time, don't you understand?"

Xu Wanning snorted coldly and said: "You have merit, but it's not my turn. The second younger sibling is the wife of the prince. It's reasonable for me to enter the palace. It's not for me." She paused, and satirized Li Xian as if to fight back: "If you really have the guts, you can also earn a life for me."

"Vulgar!" Li Xian threw down this sentence, and walked forward angrily.

Xu Wanning was also furious.

The two arrived at Xiyuan one after the other, and happened to pass by the Chenxi Pavilion where Gong Ji lived, Li Xian subconsciously stopped in his tracks.

Xu Wanning caught up and said with a sneer, "If you want to go in, go in, why stand here stupidly."

Li Xian glanced at his wife guilty, and replied, "I'll go back to live tonight."

How could Xu Wanning fail to see what he was thinking, and said disdainfully: "Don't you think I'm vulgar? Naturally, I'm so gentle and charming, so why do you have to force yourself with duplicity."

Li Xian put his arms around Xu Wanning's shoulders, and said with a smile: "I'm just joking, why don't you take it seriously, madam, I'll go back to accompany you tonight."

Just as he was talking, the sound of the piano and the soft singing of a woman came from the Chenxi Pavilion, and Li Xian's arm around Xu Wanning loosened.

"It's called spring again." As she said, Xu Wanning looked at Li Xian coldly and said, "Go in quickly, or if you don't go, she might attract all the male cats around here."

Li Xian's expression was ugly, he stared at Xu Wanning and said, "You are also from a noble family, why can't you change your vulgarity?"

Xu Wanning raised her phoenix eyes, pointed at Li Xian's nose and scolded: "No matter how vulgar I am, I am better than a pervert like you. You despise me, and I still despise you." After she finished speaking, she turned around and turned her head I left without returning.

Li Xian gritted his teeth angrily, and finally raised his legs and walked towards Chenxi Pavilion.
