MTL - Rebirth of the High Gate Mistress-Chapter 42 concubinage

Chapter 42 Concubinage

The eldest princess left the three of them to have dinner at the princess's mansion. When the three of them came out, it was already darkening slightly.

Jing Shu and the third girl were still riding in the car, while Li Ling was riding the horse.

Halfway through the journey, I happened to meet Li Xian coming back from the Yamen on horseback. After the two brothers exchanged greetings, they sat on the horse side by side and talked.

Jingshu sat in the car and vaguely heard Li Ling ask about her brother's appointment to the cabinet. Because they were involved in political affairs, the voices of the two brothers' conversation were very low, so Jingshu did not hear it clearly.

She opened the car curtain slightly and saw Li Xian, wearing a dark blue official uniform, sitting on a horse and talking to Li Ling with great interest, looking high-spirited.

Looking at his proud look, Jing Shu could guess that he was almost ready to join the cabinet.

 Being able to join the cabinet is what a civil servant desires throughout his life. If Li Xianruo can get to this point, he will naturally shine on his family, and the entire Zhenguo Palace will also be honored.

But when she thought of his doting on his concubine and destroying his wife, Jing Shu felt heavy in her heart. She didn't like him no matter what.

She looked at Li Ling. He and Li Xian were riding in front, so she could only see his back.

In his last life, she had been with him for five years. Although their relationship had always been weak, and it was true that he had Qingluan in his heart, he had never touched another woman.

She has never been bothered by sharing a husband with another woman.

In this life, he treats her better than in the previous life, but I don’t know if he will take a concubine in the end. After all, with his powerful position, there are many people who want to win over and fawn over him, and the things they want to fawn over are naturally nothing more than wealth and beauty.

 She remembered that in her previous life, many powerful people had sent beauties to the palace. Fortunately, Li Ling didn't touch them and sent them away casually.

Even so, she was not sure that he was a truly clean and honest gentleman.

 What man doesn’t love beauty?

They had only been together for five years in their last life, and she was still young. It was normal for him to be greedy for his own body and to look down on other women. Li Xian and Xu Wanning are just the same. If Li Xian doesn't like Xu Wanning at all, how can she stay in the house for four or five years and have both children? But now that time has passed, has Li Xian grown tired of the old?

She looked quietly at Li Ling who was walking in front. He was tall and tall, and he was as tall as a pine tree when sitting on the horse.

 In terms of appearance, he is really the best.

She doesn't want to share this man with another woman, nor can she tolerate another woman's child dividing the paternal love of her future child. Even if he still can't let go of Qingluan in his heart in this life, at least his body must completely belong to her. Own.

 Don't let him get involved with other women.

 She had to find a way to win him over.

It was already dark when he returned to Zhenguo Palace. Li Xian got off his horse first. He threw the horse's reins to the stable boy and said to Li Ling: "I'm going back first." Then he strode towards Xiyuan.

Looking at his brisk steps and eagerness, it doesn't look like he was going to Bitang Garden to coax Xu Wanning.

As expected, Jing Shu, Li Ling, and Ziyun had just entered the inner courtyard when they saw a woman in pink standing in the corridor from a distance. When she saw Li Xian, she greeted him politely. Li Xian held her hand and whispered sweet words to her. The woman covered her face and hit him on the shoulder with a pink fist. The two hugged each other sweetly. Went towards Xiyuan sweetly.

Jing Shu looked at the backs of the two of them and felt heavy in her heart.

Li Ling naturally saw it and asked Jing Shu, "Who is that woman?"

Jing Shu said with a cold face: "Eldest brother Xin Na's concubine."

Li Ling said "Oh" without saying much, and continued walking side by side with Jing Shu.

Jingshu turned her head, looked at Li Ling and said, "It was given by the palace."

Li Ling glanced at Jing Shu, still speechless.

Jingshu looked at him and asked, "What do you think of the woman from the palace?"

Li Ling stood still and said lightly to Ziyun who was following behind him: "Go back first."

Ziyun understood, glanced at the two of them, and left in a hurry.

 The moon is rising, and the sky is getting dark. Li Ling leaned down to look at his young wife's face. Jingshu turned her head to the side, still with a cold face, and asked: "Why do you think of me like this?" Li Ling pulled her over and said with a half-smile: "I I want to ask you why Gong Ji is doing this all the time."

 When asked by him like this, Jingshu didn't know how to respond. For some reason, she was suddenly afraid that Li Ling would realize that she was actually jealous of Qingluan, and even more afraid that she would notice that she was worried about his concubine.

She lowered her head and rubbed the fine gravel on the ground with her embroidered shoes. She hummed like a mosquito: "It's nothing, just asking casually."

 Li Ling lowered his eyes and looked at his shy little wife, and with a curved mouth, he said, "Since it's nothing, let's go. I have something to do when I get back." With that, he strode forward.

Jingshu raised her eyes and rolled her eyes at him, then followed him slowly, but her heart was still depressed.

After walking for a while, Li Ling turned his head again and saw his young wife following him not far or near, with downcast eyebrows and even her little face as big as a palm.

The head is wilted and the brain is drooping, like a little rabbit that has been deprived of food.

Li Ling stood still and waited for her to catch up. Li Ling walked forward side by side with her. He did not look at her. He just faced forward and asked in a somewhat joking tone: "I see that Madam seems to have something on her mind?"

Jingshu suddenly felt guilty. She didn't want him to see through her mind.

She doesn't want to share him with other women, not because she loves him so much that she can't live without her, but because she doesn't want her status to be threatened and her future children to be wronged. She is completely thinking about herself.

snort! Don't think she cares about him!

Jingshu raised her head, smiled at Li Ling, and said nonchalantly: "What can I have on my mind? I'm just making calculations. I'm too busy during the day, so I didn't bother to look at the account book."

As she said this, she seemed afraid that Li Ling would not believe it, and added: "If I want to be in charge of the house, I have to sort out the accounts first. This is the most important thing right now. I have to sort out these accounts as soon as possible."

Li Ling gave her a steady look and said nothing.

When he arrived at Qingfeng Garden, Li Ling said, "You go back first, I have to go to the study for a while."

Jingshu smiled and replied: "Then go quickly, finish your work early and rest early."

After saying that, she turned around and was about to leave, but Li Ling grabbed her wrist. Jingshu raised her eyes and asked, "Is there anything else you can do, Your Majesty?"

Li Ling looked at his little wife's eyes as clear as water and moon.

He is the only one in there.

He took her hand, looked at her and said, "If you treat me well, I will never take a concubine."

For a moment, Jingshu wanted to cry, but she came back to her senses immediately. She looked up at Li Ling and asked, "What if I can't treat you sincerely?"

Li Ling paused, raised his hand to stroke the broken hair on Jingshu's forehead, with an unruly look on his face, and replied leisurely: "That's hard to say."

Jing Shu’s eyes widened, she stared at him fiercely and said, “How dare you!”

Li Ling replied with a smile but not a smile: "If you don't treat me well and always don't listen to me, and one day you really make me angry, I will marry seven or eight more people. Don't cry then." Please beg me."

Jingshu raised her leg and kicked him hard, and said angrily: "Don't say seven or eight, if you dare to bring back one, I will pierce twelve **** holes in your body and stab you into a sieve. "

Li Ling was kicked by Jing Shu, but he wasn't upset at all. He used his hand to pat the footprints imprinted on his robe by Jing Shu, and joked with a smile: "You still dare to be tough with me? Do you think I will be afraid?" Is that so?" As he spoke, he scratched the tip of his little wife's nose with his finger: "Can you beat me?"

Jingshu was so annoyed that she raised her foot to kick her again, but Li Ling lightly grabbed her ankle.

Jingshu had one foot caught by him and landed on one foot. She had to hang on to Li Ling's clothes to keep her balance.

Li Ling grabbed her ankle with one hand and held her waist firmly with the other. He pretended to be angry and said in her ear: "You still dare to be rough with me, go back tonight and see how I deal with you."

Jingshu@李灵: I don’t have to love you, but I don’t allow you to take concubines.

Li Ling scratched his head: I didn’t think you didn’t love me?

Jing Shu was helpless: How could there be such a slow person!
