Rebirth of the High Gate Mistress

Chapter 510 I don’t want it

Jingshu smiled, looked at her son and replied, "Of course the queen is thinking of you."

As she said that, she looked around and asked, "Why don't you let the palace servants serve you? You don't like the crowd, so why not leave one to grind for you?"

Brother Xuan replied: "My son likes to be clean when he is studying. It turns out that Sister Dongqing is serving alone. Didn't my mother say that some palace servants in the East Palace are going to be removed today? My son thought that Sister Dongqing was about to get hairpins, so he I wanted to let her out, so I didn’t let her serve.”

When Jing Shu heard this, she was surprised and said: "Okay, why do you want to let Dong Qing out?"

Brother Xuan smiled and replied: "Mother, even if we are the royal family, we shouldn't keep people detained here, right?"

Female officials can indeed choose to marry out of the palace when they reach the age of hairpins. If these girls can be selected to be officials in the palace, they can enjoy the palace salary for their whole life. Because of this honor, these women are quite popular for marriage.

But whether to leave the palace also depends on personal wishes. There are also people who can't leave the palace. If they don't want to leave, they can still stay.

After Jingshu heard what her son said, she asked, "Is this what Qing Dong meant?"

Brother Xuan replied: "That's not the case. It's just that since she has reached age, the child is thinking about letting her out as soon as possible so that she can find a husband earlier."

Jingshu looked at her son and said, "It's so easy to meet a smart kid who can suit your liking. It's a pity that he just left like this."

Not everyone can be a schoolmaster, because you have to serve your master while studying. For example, if your master gets excited while he is studying, you need to be able to talk freely with him.

Brother Xuan was smart and studious. He had chosen several female officials in the past, but they were all very different from the crown prince in terms of talents and academic aspirations. Jing Shu carefully selected them for a long time before choosing Dong Qing.

Brother Xuan replied: "Dong Qing is gone, just pick one carefully. It's not a big deal."

Jingshu saw her son persisting, so she said no more, but she still felt sorry for Dong Qing in her heart.

Brother Xuan looked at his mother and said, "The queen is reluctant to leave Dong Qing. Is there any other reason?"

“The queen mother wants her to be her son’s attendant, right?”

Jingshu didn't expect her son to know her thoughts. She was stunned for a moment and didn't know how to answer him.

She looked at her eldest son, who was half a head taller than herself, and suddenly felt that her son had really grown up.

 He actually understands his own thoughts so well.

"Mother, I was just about to tell you that my child does not want to be a servant in the future, so please don't worry about me."

Jing Shu was shocked again when Brother Xuan said these words. But then I think about it, he is Li Ling's son, and he has followed his father's temperament. It's not time yet, so he is not in a hurry. Even if he really doesn't want to be a waiter in the future, it won't be a big deal. .

Jingshu smiled and replied: "This matter will have to be discussed in two years. Since you don't want to keep Dong Qing, I will ask someone to ask her opinion. If she wants to go out, just let her out."

The next day, Jingshu ordered someone to announce the arrival of Concubine Li. Concubine Li did not expect that the Queen would give her a reply so quickly. She hurriedly followed the female officer to Jiaofang Hall. Because she was anxious, she even tripped when entering the palace. He fell down, but luckily he was supported by the female officer, so he didn't fall down.

When she saw Jingshu, she insisted on kneeling down again. Jingshu ordered someone to help her up and went straight to the topic: "The concubine asked me yesterday. I mentioned it to your majesty. What we meant was to use Qinghe as a common person." I will send you back to the concubine’s natal family as your identity.”

Concubine Li suddenly heard this. She did not turn around for a moment and said anxiously: "If this is the case, our mother and daughter will still have to be separated. I also know that it is impossible for Qinghe to restore her status as princess. I only want to be the princess." It’s okay if she stays by my side quietly, even if I let her serve as a palace maid, as long as I can keep my daughter by my side, I will die with no regrets.”

As she spoke, Mrs. Li choked up and started crying again.

Jingshu said slowly: "I understand that the concubine misses her daughter, but have you ever thought about how Qinghe will live a hundred years after you if you leave her in the palace as a palace maid? Will you spend the rest of your life alone in the palace?"

 Concubine Li stopped crying, raised her eyes and asked, "What do you mean, do you want Qinghe to go back to my natal family, and then find another family to marry?"

Jingshu nodded and replied: "This is exactly what I mean."

Mrs. Li hesitated and said: "It's just that Qinghe is like this now, how can he find a good family?"

Seeing that she was not enlightened, Jing Shu persuaded her patiently: "Concubine, please take a longer view. Qinghe is not yet thirty. Although she has already missed the age of marriage, she is still young and there is hope after all. If you imprison her in a deep palace, where there are many palace people who know her, and how do you ask her to deal with gossip, if she returns to the palace, it will be difficult for her to get out. Instead of growing old alone in this deep palace, it is better to Give it a try."

"According to what I have said, the concubine's natal family is from a wealthy family in Qingzhou. Her elder brother is now the governor of Qingzhou. He even sent a letter to His Majesty to inquire about you a while ago. This shows that he is a person who values ​​friendship. The concubine invited Qinghe back to her natal family. , but there is no need to worry that she will be treated harshly."

After hearing these words, Mrs. Li suddenly became enlightened and quickly replied: "My mother's brother and sister-in-law are all loyal people. If Qinghe is sent to them, my brother and sister-in-law will definitely treat her kindly."

As she said that, she looked at Jingshu gratefully: "I am really old and confused, but these words of the queen really woke me up." She stood up and bowed solemnly to Jingshu: "I thank you for your grace."

Jing Shu hurriedly asked Ziyun to help her up and replied: "Although the seventh princess made a mistake, she was still young and ignorant at that time, and I don't want to see her ruin her life because of her youthful spirit. "

These words touched Concubine Li's heart. She couldn't help wiping away her tears and said, "My Majesty is so kind. To tell you the truth, I entered this deep palace at the age of sixteen and never lived a good life. In the past, Meng Meng She is the only one in the family, so she suppresses all favored concubines. Fortunately, she was pregnant with dragon seed by chance. Fortunately, she is a daughter. These people were spared from the murderous hands. I never thought that my daughter would get out of this position again before she was born. What's the matter, oh my! I thought that we, mother and daughter, had no hope in this life. I never thought that God would open my eyes and a Bodhisattva like you would come to the palace and be able to make decisions for us."

Jingshu replied: "After all, Qinghe is also a close relative of me and Your Majesty. I naturally hope that she will go well in the future."

She only felt that Mrs. Li missed her daughter very much, and said: "If you agree to this matter, I will return to the Supreme Emperor. If the Supreme Emperor also agrees, I will arrange for you mother and daughter to meet, and then order someone to send Qinghe to Qingzhou." .”
