Rebirth of the High Gate Mistress

Chapter 263 Focusing on Li Xiang

Ever since her little princess met the third son of the Li family outside Princess Fuxi's mansion, her entire heart had been stolen by Li Xiang. Now that she has married the one she loves as she wished, the little princess is even more focused on everything. Pounced on him.

Yuzhu was originally the capable female officer in Prince Yong's palace who was responsible for educating Pingyang. She was a few years older than Pingyang, and her mind was naturally more mature than hers. Seeing that her princess was worried about gains and losses, Yuzhu persuaded her: "Your Majesty. My Lord is so affectionate towards my uncle, how could he not treat you well? However, no matter how much you like your uncle in your heart, you must first love and respect yourself."

 If you want to love someone, you must not lose yourself. Only in this way can a love and marriage be even and long-lasting. Yuzhu, an outsider, can see the truth clearly and can explain it clearly to Pingyang, but people who are in the whirlpool of love may not really be able to understand it.

After hearing what Yuzhu said, Pingyang nodded slightly, let go of his hand, and said calmly: "You go out, I will keep my eyes open for a while."

Yuzhu stood up and was about to leave when Pingyang opened his eyes again and warned: "My husband doesn't like the eggs to be fried too tender. The new cook in the small kitchen always forgets it. Go and tell them personally tomorrow morning. Also, tell them Please put less honey and sugar in soy milk and snacks. My husband doesn’t like sweets.”

Yuzhu shook her head helplessly, and leaned over to tuck Pingyang's quilt: "I have taken note of this. Princess, you don't have to worry about these trivial matters, just sleep peacefully."

 Pingyang closed his eyes, but his mind was still filled with the words Jing Shu said about Jiao Xing when he talked to Jing Shu about her honesty and duty.

Could it be that my husband likes such a quiet person in his heart?

Although Pingyang, now a woman, has become more dignified, she is most lively and active at heart.

Thinking of this, Pingyang felt a little depressed. Thinking of her husband and Jiao Xing staying together every day when he was a boy, he felt even worse.

During the long night, Pingyang was thinking about these things in bed, tossing and turning, but couldn't fall asleep. When the sky was dim, she simply got up.

Yuzhu had expected that her uncle would not be here last night and that her princess would get up early this morning, so she heard the movement inside and pushed the door open.

"Princess, you didn't sleep last night, okay?" Yuzhu asked as she arranged the bed in her hands.

Pingyang rolled up his hair and replied lightly: "It's okay."

Yuzhu quickly made the bed and called the maids outside the door. The little maids filed in carrying bathing things and carefully served Pingyang to wash up.

Pingyang asked Yuzhu again: "Have you gone to give them instructions in the small kitchen?"

Yuzhu served Pingyang to change clothes and replied: "My servants went to the kitchen to tell you your order before dawn, and asked them to make many side dishes that my uncle likes to eat. Don't worry, Princess."

After hearing this, Pingyang nodded slightly. She couldn't help but look at the clock on the wall again and again. After the maids served her and dressed up, Pingyang ignored Yuzhu's persuasion and couldn't control his temper. After leaving the house, he stood on the porch waiting for Li Xiang to return from duty.

Pingyang stood in the corridor and waited for a long time, and finally saw the long-awaited figure appearing at the corner door. She was overjoyed. Just when she instinctively wanted to run over to meet her, she suddenly remembered what Jing Shu had said inadvertently. .

Since he likes quiet women, she must be such a woman.

Pingyang immediately took back her steps and stood quietly on the porch waiting for her husband to come over. The main room is a long way from the courtyard gate. Standing on the corridor, Pingyang can see Li Xiang clearly from a high position, but Li Xiang cannot see her clearly.

Pingyang saw her husband entering the courtyard, passing the long pavilion at the door and walking slowly towards this side. Li Xiang's tall and straight figure gradually approached, and the jade-like face gradually became clearer in Pingyang's sight. Pingyang's heart gradually heated up, and a happy smile appeared on his face.

Li Xiang walked up the corridor, but when he came back, he stopped under the plum trees by the wall. He stood there, looking at the plum trees in trance for a while, and then he picked up a blooming plum blossom. Hold it in the palm of your hand and look at it carefully.

When Pingyang saw Li Xiang standing still for a long time, she finally couldn't hold it any longer. She picked up her skirt and walked down the steps, walking straight towards Li Xiang.

“It snowed last night, and all the plum blossoms were in full bloom.”

It wasn't until Pingyang spoke from behind Li Xiang that Li Xiang came back to his senses. He quickly turned around, looked at his wife and said, "What are you doing out on this cold day?"

Pingyang smiled at her husband: "I came here specially to pick you up."

The winter wind in the early morning blew the remaining snow on the plum trees flying all over the sky. Li Xiang raised his hand and patted the snowflakes that fell on Pingyang's shoulders, and replied: "I told you, don't get up early to come out to greet me. This place in Beijing is no better than In the south, the winter wind is very strong, and you will get sick if you get the cold wind."

Pingyang held her husband's arm and walked slowly toward the main room. He smiled and replied, "I know your husband loves me. But you came back early in the morning in the wind and snow. Don't you know that I feel sorry for you too."

The young couple entered the house, and Pingyang personally helped Li Xiang take off his cloak. The maid served a steaming breakfast, and the couple sat down to eat at the same table.

Li Xiang glanced at a table of overly sumptuous breakfast, smiled at his wife and said: "Each house and courtyard has its monthly food and drink regulations. If we are so extravagant every day, I'm afraid we won't be able to eat this month's food." They will all be gone before the end of the month."

Pingyang served Li Xiang with his own hands and replied with a smile: "If the monthly silver is not enough, I will just buy some myself."

Li Xiang looked at his wife and explained: "How can I ask you to add more money? This is not appropriate."

Pingyang said indifferently: "What's the point? The dowry my father, queen, mother and concubine bought for me will last a lifetime, so these few small sums are nothing."

Pingyang is the only legitimate daughter in Prince Yong's palace, and Li Xiang knows that she has been pampered and pampered since she was brought up, so even though Li Xiang didn't hear Pingyang's words, he still had a gentle smile on his face, patiently. Xingzi explained to his wife: "I know you are not short of money, but it is our family rule to be gentle, courteous, frugal and generous. Even the food at my grandmother's side is based on the dish rules, and the elders are like this. As juniors, we naturally have to abide by the rules."

Seeing his wife gradually lowering her eyes, Li Xiang hurriedly coaxed: "Let's just let the kitchen cook your favorite food every day. I'm not a picky eater, so I will eat whatever you eat. That's it." This will not only satisfy your appetite, but also save unnecessary waste."

After hearing this, Pingyang's face turned from gloomy to clear. He looked at her husband with crooked eyebrows and said, "Since I married into the palace, I should abide by the rules of the palace. I will tell them to cook according to the rules tomorrow." , just stop being so extravagant and wasteful.”
