Rebirth of the High Gate Mistress

Chapter 89 Qingluan wants to go see the lanterns with his cousin

On the fifteenth day of the first lunar month, Li Ling returned early and saw that Jingshu was busy packing his luggage for a long journey. He glanced at the busy figure of his young wife, walked up and said with a smile, "Thank you for your hard work, madam."

Jingshu raised her eyes and glanced at him, then asked with a dull face: "How long will your trip last?"

Li Ling replied: "If everything goes well, I can come back in more than a month. If everything goes wrong, it will take two or three months."

 It takes so long! They have never been separated since they got married.

Jingshu felt sour when she heard this.

Li Ling pulled her over and saw that his little wife had a slumped face and her starry eyes were wet. He held her little face and said to her: "I will come back as soon as possible."

Jingshu broke away from him, turned her face away, and pouted: "You can go as long as you like, I don't care about you."

Li Ling sighed, held his wife in his arms again, and said patiently: "It's not that I don't want to take you, it's just that this journey is too difficult. After leaving Zhennanguan, it's all mountain roads, and you have to walk through the Gobi." , you really can’t bear it.”

 He kissed his wife's eyes gently: "Besides, I am on business, so I am going out with my family, how can I behave appropriately?"

"Just rest at home and wait for me." Seeing that his wife still had her eyes lowered, he held her in his arms and murmured in her ear: "I know you can't let me go, so how can I be willing to leave you? .”

Jingshu hugged him away and said with a dull face: "Don't be sentimental. No one can bear to leave you. I just miss my grandfather's family and want to see them."

She lowered her eyes with a hint of grievance: "I haven't seen them in five or six years."

Li Ling leaned over and glanced at her aggrieved little face: "Don't worry, when the five cities of Gunzhou are recovered, the road will be clear. I will definitely take you to Chaozhou."

Jingshu snorted coldly: "How could it be so easy to take it back?"

She sighed leisurely: "Grandma is already eighty years old. Last year, my uncle wrote a letter saying that her mind is often confused now. I'm afraid it will be difficult for me to see her again in her lifetime."

Li Ling hugged her and said, "Don't worry, this time the Holy Emperor sent me to Nanjun to check the city defenses over there, with the intention of taking back the five cities of Gunzhou."

He looked at his wife and said: "Once the Holy One gives the order to send out troops, I will ask for orders to go to the front line. After driving out all the Nanbarbarians, I will take you back to Chaozhou to visit my grandmother."

Seeing that his little wife was still unhappy, Li Ling said calmly: "Let's go and clean up. I'll accompany you to watch the lanterns."

The two of them packed up and left Qingfeng Garden. Before they reached the second gate, they saw Qingluan walking towards them from a distance.

Jingshu glanced at Li Ling subconsciously. Li Ling's gentle face turned cold again, and his brows gradually furrowed.

Qingluan slowly walked up to the two of them, glanced at Li Ling, then lowered his head, like a child who had done something wrong, and called out like a mosquito: "Cousin."

Looking pitifully aggrieved.

Li Ling nodded expressionlessly and asked, "Are you going to grandma's place?"

When Qingluan saw that Li Ling was finally willing to pay attention to her, she slowly raised her head: "Grandma just ordered someone to come over for dinner." She looked at Li Ling eagerly, and then glanced at Jing Shu beside her: "Cousin, cousin Sister-in-law is going out?"

Seeing that Li Ling was silent, Jing Shu replied: "Go out for a walk."

Qingluan said lightly: "I forgot, today is the Lantern Festival, the city should be very lively." As she said that, she smiled bitterly: "It's really embarrassing to say that I have never seen the folk in my life. What exactly is the Hungry Ghost Festival like?"

 This means to follow.

It was rare to enjoy time with Li Ling, and Jing Shu didn't want this weird princess who was always thinking about her man to follow her.

After listening to Qingluan's words, she said nothing but looked at her husband beside her.

Li Ling replied calmly: "Grandma is still waiting for you to have dinner with me. Cousin, please come over quickly."

With that said, Li Ling was about to walk away. When he saw the two of them were about to leave, Qingluan quickly stopped them and said directly to Li Ling: "I also want to see the lanterns. Can my cousin take me with you?" Li Ling He glanced at her doubtfully and replied with two words: "No."

Qingluan's thin little shoulders rose slightly again, and her voice was choked with sobs. She stared at Li Ling and asked, "Why?"

Without waiting for Li Ling to answer, she continued: "In the past, whenever I asked my cousin for help, you readily agreed. What happened now? Why do you treat me like this?"

As she spoke, she looked at Jing Shu aside, with viciousness in her eyes caused by jealousy, and said bitterly: "Is it because of this woman?"

Li Ling suppressed his anger and shouted coldly at Qingluan: "What are you talking about?"

Qingluan's tears fell again. She looked at Li Ling and asked, "Am I wrong? My cousin treated me so well before and always protected me. Ever since you got involved with this woman, you have started to treat me coldly." Oh, did she encourage you to do this? Why is this woman worthy of you doing this? What are you doing for..."

"Shut up." Looking at Qingluan who was losing control, Li Ling finally couldn't bear it anymore and shouted angrily.

Qingluan's tears welled up and she looked at Li Ling with twitching eyes.

Perhaps she had already seen Li Ling's harsh words that day, but this time she was not frightened and did not know what to do. She still stood there and cast her wet eyes at Li Ling without any scruples.

Li Ling suppressed the anger in his heart, sighed slightly, and said to her in as calm a tone as possible: "You should understand your identity. As a princess, how can you go out at will? Even if you stay in this mansion, since you came Yes, many more nursing homes have been placed to protect your safety."

He paused and then said: "I will protect you, that is my responsibility. However, now that you have grown up, you should be sensible. Don't act like a child all the time and lose the dignity of a princess."

After saying that, Li Ling said to Chao Lu beside Qingluan: "Send the princess to Anxi Hall, Haosheng will take good care of her."

 After saying these words, Li Ling took Jing Shu's hand and left without looking back.

Until the two of them disappeared, Qingluan still stood there blankly, sobbing and crying.

Chao Lu stepped forward and said helplessly: "Princess, didn't you say yesterday that you would slowly win back the Crown Prince's heart? Why are you confused again now? What will the Crown Prince think of you if you say such things?"

Qingluan wiped her tears with a handkerchief and sighed longly: "Now that my cousin is completely fascinated by that Shen family, I also know that this matter cannot be rushed." As she said this, she couldn't help but shed tears again. Lai: "It's just that when I saw my cousin with her, I couldn't control myself."

Chaolu coaxed, "Okay, okay, stop crying. Just don't do this again next time."

Qingluan said leisurely: "I have to find a chance to talk to my cousin."

Chaolu helped her gather her cloak: "It's cold in the snow. If the princess is not in the mood, I will send someone to fetch the old lady. Let's go back."

Qingluan turned his head and replied, "I can't go back. The more I do at this time, the more I have to make my grandmother feel bad. I don't believe that I, my direct granddaughter, can't compare to that outsider, the Shen family."

She snorted coldly, gritted her silver teeth and said: "Even if my grandmother doesn't make the decision for me, there is still my father. Even if I don't like my father, I am still his flesh and blood. If my grandmother can't count on me, I won't be able to wait until I get married." After the ceremony, I will just ask my father to give me permission to marry."

The power of love is indeed great. Chaolu never expected that this fragile little princess who always cried would show unprecedented tenacity in fighting for the heir apparent of the Li family. She said happily: "If the princess can really be strong, Don’t worry about defeating that Shen family.”

When mentioning Jingshu, Qingluan couldn't help but gritted his teeth: "Huh! What a Shen! Let's see."

   Lately, a lot of comments on articles have been pulled down. Yesterday, I was chatting with a few bosses about this matter, and I heard that some people were deliberately being criticized. Everyone has encountered it.

It’s really incredible!

Why is this so? There are thousands of good articles to read, just don’t like passing by.

Ah Que also heard that some people with ulterior motives used trumpets to deliberately call other big writers in order to lower their popularity. oops! This this. . . . . . This can only be said to be that people in the world are evil.

I really like this article, Baozi. I hope everyone can move their fingers and give Ah Que a "wuxinghaoping" in the book review, so that the score of this article can be improved.

If you don’t force it, hit it if you like it. If you don’t like it, just pass by.
