Rebirth of the High Gate Mistress

Chapter 85 Qingluan was scolded by Li Ling

Jing Shu and Li Ling were both stunned when they heard this.

Li Ling pursed his lips toward the outside. Jingshu had already packed up and walked out of the bathroom to the outside room.

Qingluan was sitting on the rose chair outside. When she saw Jingshu coming out, she didn't get up. She just raised her head, looked at Jingshu and said, "I'm going to my cousin's door so early, so I won't disturb you."

Jingshu glanced at the breakfast that had just been placed outside and thought to herself, do you still know that coming so early is an intrusion?

Seeing that Jingshu was silent, Qingluan smiled sarcastically and said, "It seems that I am really not welcome when I come so early, so I will take my leave."

As she said that, she was about to get up, but Jingshu said calmly: "Cousin, walk slowly."

Qingluan just wanted to make Jingshu angry and deliberately took Qiao, but unexpectedly, Jingshu defeated his entire army, and now he was unable to advance or retreat.

  She came here to see her cousin, so how could she be willing to leave like this?

Qingluan put on a smile and said to Jingshu: "I was joking with my cousin just now. I saw that my cousin is kind, so I came here regardless of the time. Please don't really bother me."

Jingshu also smiled and said calmly: "Cousin, you are an honored guest, no one in the house would dare to neglect you."

These words were said with a gun and a stick. Qingluan is a sensitive and thoughtful person, so why can't he hear the taste.

She said with a smile: "I have heard that although my cousin is not the daughter of a prince, she is a person with good etiquette. I have been in contact with you in the past two days. I really admire my cousin as a person. She is more noble than those high-ranking people. Women look stronger."

 His words, both inside and outside, convey a strange and contemptuous meaning.

Jingshu couldn't hear what Qingluan said.

 It is nothing more than a mockery of her low background.

In her last life, she had indeed been brooding over this and couldn't hold her head high. In this life, just like in the previous one, there were still many people who openly and covertly said that her background was not worthy of the Zhenguo Palace, but she would no longer care about this.

 Those who chew on this tongue are just jealous of her!

 So what if you are from a low background? Now she is not being held in the palm of Li Ling's hand and doting on her, has she become the legitimate mistress of the house, and has become the youngest royal wife in Chang'an City.

Jing Shu's face did not change, and she replied calmly: "There are as many wealthy and noble families in the capital as there are crucian carp crossing the river. I come from a small family, and in terms of family background, how can I compare to the daughters of princes, princes, and ministers? My cousin praises me like this. I But I dare not take it seriously."

She smiled faintly and said meaningfully: "The reason why a girl from a small family like me is here today is just because of your cousin's wrong love and your cousin not disapproving of me."

"How could I dislike you?" After saying that, Li Ling walked out of the room.

 He ​​had already taken care of himself, and the sharp-edged officer's uniform on him made his face even more serious. When he came over just now, Qingluan's words happened to fall into his ears. At this moment, his face became frighteningly heavy.

 For this imperial cousin, the entire town and government felt indebted to her. As the current head of the Zhenguo Palace, it was his duty to protect her and give her support, but Li Ling unexpectedly made her have other thoughts.

Yesterday, when Jingshu told him that Qingluan admired him, he only half-believed it. He thought that his wife was still upset about what happened in the summer garden and was just playing daughter-like tricks with him. But as his wife When he showed him the poem written by Qingluan himself, his heart dropped.

The little cousin he had always protected was so ignorant. He was really disappointed in her.

Now, seeing her come here early in the morning to humiliate his wife, he was really angry.

 He walked up to his wife and looked at her with eyes that softened unconsciously: "I, Li Ling, are lucky enough to have a wife like you."

Although these words were directed at Jingshu, anyone with ears could tell that they were meant for Qingluan.

People like Li Ling rarely say such love words to her. Naturally, Jing Shu obeyed these words, but now she only felt uneasy after hearing them.

Yesterday at the banquet, Li Ling cut a chicken for her, causing Qingluan to lose control in public. Now that Li Ling said this to her in front of her, Jingshu was really afraid that Qingluan would be so angry that she would pass out on the spot.

Although she doesn't like Qingluan, she is a princess after all, and she is the old lady's favorite. If she is really angry to death, then she will be in bad luck. Jingshu glanced at Li Ling in surprise, then looked at Qingluan anxiously.

Sure enough, she was stunned by Li Ling's words and stood there blankly, her face frighteningly white.

“Cousin.” Jing Shu really didn’t know what to do to avoid a tragedy.

Li Ling finally turned to look at Qingluan. His face was cold and his eyes were serious when he looked at her.

With this look, not to mention the delicate Ninth Princess, she is rough-skinned and thick-skinned like Li Xiang, and naughty and aggressive like the third girl. Whenever she sees her brother like this, she will be so frightened that she wilts immediately.

Sure enough, Qingluan's shoulders suddenly slumped when she saw Li Ling like this. She lowered her head, glanced at Li Ling quietly, and whispered: "Cousin--"

The voice was soft, gentle, and pitiful.

Li Ling had a stern face and asked in a cold tone: "It's freezing cold. Why don't you just stay in the house and come here so early in the morning?"

A man who has been in a high position for a long time, commanded thousands of troops, and walked through mountains of swords and seas of fire on the battlefield, is really angry. The frightening aura exuding from his body, and the cold tone that makes people tremble, are really fascinating. Soul.

As expected, Qingluan burst into tears when she saw Li Ling like this. Her thin little shoulders were hunched violently, twitching, as if she was about to lose her breath at any moment.

Li Ling was not soft-hearted. He walked to the door and called to Chao Lu, the maid who was waiting outside, "Come here!"

Chao Lu stood outside and had no idea what was going on inside. Seeing Li Ling's bluffing appearance, he boldly stepped forward and said, "Your Majesty, do you have something to say to your servant?"

Li Ling glanced at her and stepped away from the door: "Take the princess back. From now on, you must take good care of her in this mansion and don't let the princess run around."

As he spoke, he glanced coldly at Qingluan, who was crying hard: "Although the rules here are not as strict as in the palace, they are still decent."

Qingluan's face turned pale with shame. She turned around and walked out of the door. She cried and said to the confused maid: "Let's go back to the palace now."

After Qingluan left, Li Ling was still livid with anger. Although Jing Shu had seen him angry on weekdays, he would even get so angry at her that he would start to take action. But compared with the present, those are simply insignificant.

This guy is really angry, it's really scary.

Throughout breakfast, Jingshu, Ziyun and the other three little girls were so intimidated by Li Ling that they did not dare to speak out.

Fortunately, Li Ling finished his breakfast with a cold face and went out to do his errands with a cold face.

Seeing Li Ling leave, Ziyun stroked his chest and said, "It's the first time I see my uncle like this. I'm scared to death."

Danzhu stuck out his tongue and complained: "We are so incompatible with the royal family. I thought that those people who are as noble as princesses would be so noble, but I didn't expect it to be like this."

Ziyun couldn't stand Qingluan either, and couldn't help but echoed: "I thought all princesses were like the eldest princess."

Bilu saw a few people talking about Qingluan and asked in confusion: "I really don't understand why the ninth princess always comes to our place early in the morning. Also, why is my uncle so angry this morning."

The three little girls were talking to themselves here, but Jing Shu was very upset. If Qingluan was so angry that he returned to the palace, the old lady would definitely blame her and Li Ling, but Li Ling didn't care. After all, he is also the grandson of the old lady.

 What can she do?

Even though the old lady treats her kindly, how can she, the granddaughter-in-law who has just entered the family, be compared to the sharp-minded granddaughter in the old lady's heart.

Also, if Qingluan returns to the palace and messes with her in front of the emperor, will the emperor take back her imperial edict without asking whether it is right or wrong?

Why! It's really upsetting to get involved with people like this.
