MTL - Rebirth of the High Gate Mistress-Chapter 620 sweetheart
Jingshu discussed her plans for the prince's marriage with her mother-in-law. The prince was about to get married, and this matter was of great importance. The emperor and the empress had naturally considered the choice of the prince's concubine. After discussing my personal choice with the eldest princess, the eldest princess was also satisfied.
After the eldest princess left, Princess Bao said to Jingshu: "Although these noble girls chosen by the mother for the emperor's brother are all very talented and beautiful, they may not be able to catch the emperor's eye."
Jing Shu was surprised. She looked at her daughter and asked, "Why did you say that?"
Princess Bao is about to have haircuts, and she has become a beautiful lady, with a bright little face as bright as the morning glow.
She smiled brightly at Jing Shu and replied: "If you don't believe me, just ask the emperor's brother with the list of these noble ladies. He will definitely not agree. If you don't believe me, I'm willing to make a bet with you."
"You child." Jing Shu glared at her daughter and asked hurriedly: "Does your imperial brother have someone in his heart? If you know what he is thinking, why don't you tell your mother quickly?"
Princess Bao was anxious when she saw her mother. She approached Jingshu and replied mysteriously: "I guessed it too."
Seeing that her mother was about to get angry, she hurriedly explained: "Don't be upset, Queen Mother. Brother Huang is such a calm person. How can others easily know his thoughts? Even Queen Mother, you don't know anything about it."
Jingshu scolded her daughter: "Say quickly, don't betray me."
Princess Bao leaned close to her mother's ear and lowered her voice: "I guess the person that the emperor really likes is Sister Xue, a cousin of the Jiang family."
Jingshu was stunned when she heard this, looked at her daughter doubtfully, and murmured: "I can't stop. Your cousin has been reading in the palace with me, and she is always by my side. I have never seen Brother Xuan treat her any differently."
“So, my brother, the city is so deep that even my mother didn’t notice it.” She smiled brightly, raised her head and said, “Anyway, I told you, my mother. Believe it or not, it’s up to you.”
With that said, the little girl pulled away and was about to leave, but was stopped by Jingshu. She grabbed her daughter and asked anxiously: "You are telling the truth. Brother Xuan, the person he likes is really Sister Xue. Sister Bao, this matter is very important, so please don’t try to deceive your mother."
Princess Bao said helplessly: "If the queen mother doesn't believe it, just go and ask the emperor herself. I just can't bear that you have to work in vain to choose the princess for the emperor."
After that, the little girl ran away in a flash. Before leaving, she did not forget to turn around and tell her mother: "Mother, please don't say that it was me who told you the secret. Although the emperor likes Cousin Xue, others may not see it." As for him, he has the best reputation. If everyone knows that he only has unrequited love, he will settle the score with me."
Among the children, Brother Xuan is the best in all aspects, and Jingshu has always been partial to the eldest son. After hearing what her daughter said, she said angrily: "What's wrong with your brother, is that he falls in love with any girl. There is absolutely no reason why others should look down upon him."
Princess Bao stuck out her tongue and replied: "Mothers are really too confident in their sons. My eldest aunt is like this, and I didn't expect you to be like this too."
After Princess Bao left, Jingshu couldn't help but think about what her daughter had just said.
Sister Xue is good in all aspects, but she has not yet reached the age of hairpins, and Jiang Youchen and his wife seem to have already found a husband for her, so Jing Shu has never considered this niece as her future daughter-in-law.
If it is true, as my daughter said, that my son has fallen in love with Sister Xue early on, then according to his temperament, he will definitely not change his mind.
She had to ask her son clearly what he wanted first.
Jingshu was thinking here. Ziyun slowly walked in and replied to Jingshu: "Mother, Mrs. Hu is seriously ill."
Jingshu asked in confusion: "Which Mrs. Hu?" Ziyun replied: "She is the wife of General Huwei, General Hu, Mrs. Lu."
Mrs. Hu and Hu Dahai came from a humble background. Lu was originally a farmer's daughter. She was rescued by Hu Dahai on the way to escape, and the two became acquainted and became husband and wife.
The Lu family was of low origin and was out of place in the circle of ladies in the capital. Although Hu Dahai was now a famous general in Qi, ranking higher than the three princes, the Lu family still kept a low profile and almost never interacted with various people in the capital. Among the ladies of the mansion, even Jingshu, he only interacted with her once at the celebration banquet for the conquest of the rebel king, and it was Hu Dahai who personally sent the Lu family here.
Hearing Ziyun's reminder, Jingshu remembered this person, and she hurriedly asked: "What is the disease? Is it serious?"
Ziyun replied: "Two days ago, Mrs. Lu gave birth to another son for General Hu. Perhaps she was too weak and suffered heavy bleeding during delivery. The child was saved, but she had retrograde qi and blood. She was afraid that she would not be able to survive." It won’t be a few days.”
Her husband Hu Dahai was on an expedition with Li Ling to the south. When Jingshu heard the news, she took a breath and immediately replied: "Go and prepare, I will go to General Hu's mansion right away."
Ziyun agreed to retreat.
Even if the queen travels lightly and simply, it still takes a lot of effort. Just the clear and dark guards need to be carefully arranged.
Ziyun is a quick person. After lunch, everything was arranged. She led two palace attendants and followed Jingshu in casual clothes out of the inner palace.
Outside the inner palace, Liang Jin, who was also dressed in casual clothes, was already waiting. Jing Shu saw him and said, "I'll go back to General Hu's mansion. It's not far away. You are busy with everything, so you only need to send a few capable people." Just be a guard."
Liang Jin smiled and replied: "Your Majesty is not here, and my subordinates' biggest responsibility is to protect the safety of the empress. Apart from that, what else is worthy of my subordinates to be busy with."
Liang Jin has a serious and old-fashioned temperament. It was rare for Jing Shu to see her talking like this, so she said casually: "It's really rare to hear General Liang's jokes."
Liang Jin's face turned red slightly, and he hurriedly cupped his hands and said, "This subordinate has overstepped his bounds."
Because Liang Jin and others were all following Li Ling all the way, Jing Shu would add more color. After a few words of greeting, Jing Shu left the palace gate.
A gorgeous carriage has been prepared outside. Liang Jin stepped forward and said, "Please, Madam, please get on board."
Jingshu glanced at the gorgeous car and said, "The General's Mansion is only one street away from the Imperial City. I don't want to take the car today. I want to take a walk."
Since entering the imperial city and becoming a queen, while enjoying the magnificent scenery, what she has lost is precious freedom.
Walking casually on the street, Jingshu can no longer remember when this happened. What was normal in the past seems to be a luxury now.
As soon as the words came out, Jing Shu looked at Liang Jin hesitantly and asked, "Will my behavior bring a lot of inconvenience to your guards?"
Hearing this, Liang Jin hurriedly replied: "No." He cupped his hands and said to Jing Shu, "The General's Mansion is not far away. If the Queen wants to take a walk there, my subordinates will be able to protect the Queen."
