Rebirth of the High Gate Mistress

Chapter 237 Protecting the Weak Children

As the night grew darker, the Princess's Mansion, which had been noisy all day, finally came to an end.

The eldest princess felt a little tired. When she returned to the palace, she looked up at the bed curtains her daughter had embroidered for her, and a happy smile appeared on her face involuntarily.

The maid in charge of the inner hall entered with a group of young maids holding various gifts, and said respectfully to the eldest princess: "Princess, these are the various birthday gifts given by the palace and the Duke's mansion today, please take a look. "

When the eldest princess celebrates her birthday, there are so many people rushing to fawn over and give gifts. The various rare and exotic treasures can fill three or four rooms, and she can't look at them one by one, so the person in charge only chooses the gifts from her mother's family and her husband's family. Show it to the eldest princess.

The eldest princess's eyes still stayed on the bed curtains embroidered by her daughter. After hearing the maid's words, she didn't even turn her head. She just waved her hands and said, "Take them all off."

The maid listened to the instructions and looked at Aunt Ju beside him hesitantly.

Aunt Ju understood. She walked over and picked up a lacquered wooden box. She walked up to the eldest princess and said tentatively: "Princess, this is a gift from the Duke of the State. Do you want to open it and take a look."

The eldest princess lowered her phoenix eyes slightly and said calmly: "Just take it off, I don't want to look at it."

Mammy Ju knew the temper of the eldest princess. After hearing this, she just sighed slightly, waved her hands towards the maids, and asked them to quietly retreat.

There were only two masters and servants left in the huge palace. Seeing that the mention of Duke Zhen Guo had made the princess sad, Aunt Ju put a smile on her face and accompanied the eldest princess to admire the exquisite bed curtains and follow the long hair. The princess praised in her heart: "Miss Third, your embroidery skills have really improved a lot. Look at the plum blossoms embroidered, and you can smell the fragrance just by looking at them. And this bamboo, tsk tsk, I have lived to this age and can still... I have never seen someone who can embroider the Three Friends of Suihan with such charm."

The eldest princess knew clearly that Aunt Ju was exaggerating, but she still obeyed in her heart. A smile finally appeared on her face: "This is not what Shu'er pointed out. How can it be embroidered with Jin'er's skills?"

Aunt Ju stroked the embroidery on the bed curtain and echoed: "You can see that a lot of thought has been put into this. It's rare for the third lady to have this kind of care. This child has really grown up, and now she is becoming more and more aware of filial piety and caring." .”

　　After hearing what Grandma Ju said, the eldest princess sighed slightly: "I feel ashamed to say it. This child has grown so big, and I have never fulfilled my responsibilities as a mother. I never expected that she would be able to live in such a good life."

Aunt Ju held a cup of soothing tea for the eldest princess and replied with a smile: "Although you can't always be with the young lady, with the guidance of a sister-in-law like Madam Shizi who has outstanding appearance and temperament, the third young lady can never go wrong. "

The eldest princess took a gentle sip of tea. She put down the tea cup and couldn't help but look at the bed curtain. With a smile on her face, she replied: "Ever since Shu'er entered the house, Jin'er has been with her. I have learned a lot in the past two years.”

“With a person with the appearance and temperament of Mrs. Shizi, of course I have no choice.” Aunt Ju said, but she couldn’t help but sigh: “That’s right.”

The old man felt regretful and couldn't help but probe: "If Madam has been unable to give birth to an heir for the Crown Prince, don't you really have some plans for the Crown Prince?"

The eldest princess raised her eyes and glanced at Aunt Ju, and said calmly: "What are you planning?"

 Aunt Ju understood the princess's attitude, and she immediately shut her mouth knowingly.

Li Ling was the one that Aunt Ju had seen since she was a child. The eldest princess, the wet nurse, really cared about her son. She explained to Aunt Qiu: "I have a son and a daughter, but what can I do? In the end, we are not husband and wife. If you turn your back, you will not be happy."

After hearing this, Grandma Ju couldn't help but let out a long sigh.

The eldest princess continued: "I don't want to interfere in the affairs between their husband and wife. Boyue is a troubled person and has a cold temper. Since marrying Shu'er, he has changed a lot with his wife's warmth."

Aunt Ju smiled and said, "Isn't that right? In the past, it was harder to see the prince smile than golden beans falling from the sky. Now, as long as the wife is by his side, the prince's eyes are full of smiles."  So. , As long as Bo Yue can be happy and happy." The eldest princess glared at Aunt Qiu: "Besides, with his temper, no one can force him to do such a thing. As early as when I first learned about Shu'er, At that moment, Bojo came running to me and expressed his attitude."

Mother Ju smacked her lips: "Oh, I really didn't expect that our seemingly cold-blooded prince would actually protect his wife like this."

With that said, Aunt Ju remembered the scene where Li Ling made a fuss in the front hall when the eldest princess went to change clothes today, and she couldn't help but tell the eldest princess exactly what happened.

After hearing this, the eldest princess couldn't help but smile and said: "This Boyue really loves his wife so much."

Aunt Ju asked: "That Zhou Liangdi is from the East Palace after all. Do you think you should send someone to tell Jiaofang Palace tomorrow to avoid..."

Before Grandma Ju could finish her words, the eldest princess interrupted with a cold face: "What are you going to tell her? It was her Cao family's daughter-in-law who provoked my daughter-in-law first. If the argument really came up, they would ignore it. "

The eldest princess's face showed the arrogance of a princess: "Besides, she is just a concubine in the East Palace who cannot be promoted. Not to mention that my son just taught her a lesson or killed her by mistake, so what?"

The eldest princess is what Aunt Ju has grown up watching. How could she not know the arrogance of the princess? Anyway, Zhou Qing is just a concubine of the East Palace. In the eyes of the eldest princess, she is simply a nobody worth mentioning. Seeing this, Aunt Ju The princess has such an attitude that she no longer wants to persuade her.

The eldest princess thought for a while and then told Aunt Ju: "You'd better go to the palace in person tomorrow."

Mammy Ju thought that the eldest princess had changed her mind again. After all, the prince was the crown prince. If he was really offended, it would be more trouble than he gained if he sincerely made it difficult for the government in the future.

Unexpectedly, the eldest princess said: "Go to Jiaofang Palace in person to inform Mrs. Cao and ask her to properly discipline her daughter-in-law who is not worthy of publicity."

Why! The eldest princess is the eldest princess. She has been domineering for so many years and her temper has been developed long ago. How can she change it just by changing it?

Li Ling took Jing Shu out of the princess's house. When they got into the car, Jing Shu said to Li Ling: "You were really reckless just now. Zhou Liangdi is the prince's employee. If you treat her like this, I'm afraid the prince will blame us." .”

Facing his wife at this moment, Li Ling's face full of evil spirits really softened. She held her wife's hand: "Even if he blames me, what can he do to me?"

　　　 Li Ling is already a very important general in today's Daqi, but he is cautious and not a frivolous person. Jing Shu knew in her heart that Li Ling's outrageous behavior today was because he felt sorry for her and was out of anger.

Jingshu couldn't bear to blame him for being able to protect her like this, so she could only persuade him with kind words: "My marrying you Gao has already made these women jealous, and I won't take their deliberately making things difficult for her to heart."

Jingshu looked at Li Ling: "I'm not that fragile, not that vulnerable."

Li Ling looked at his wife dotingly and raised his eyebrows slightly: "Really?"

Jingshu lay on his shoulder and murmured: "I am very touched that you can treat me like this."

Li Ling had no words, but held his wife's hand tightly.
