Rebirth of the High Gate Mistress

Chapter 266 Love Brain

 Xu Wanning and Ping Yang left Qingfeng Garden together. As soon as they walked to the door, they saw Li Xianli waiting for Xu Wanning not far away.

Li Xian saw Xu Wanning coming out and hurriedly greeted her. He stretched out his hand to support her and said, "It just snowed, be careful of the slippery road."

Xu Wanning saw that Li Xian's face was red, and he must have been here for a while. She only gave him an angry look, but did not shake him away. She just smiled and said to Pingyang: "Third brother and sister, please come and sit with me when you have time." sit."

Pingyang smiled and said yes, and the two of them parted ways, heading towards their residences.

Although it had just snowed, it was not cold because it was already midday and the winter sun was high in the sky. Pingyang thought that Li Xiang might not have woken up at this time, so he was not in a hurry to go back. When he passed by the corridor, he sat on the wooden chair. sat down.

“This is the first time I’ve seen Chuxue in Beijing. Let’s enjoy it here for a while before going back.”

Yuzhu said quickly: "I will go back and get you a hand stove."

Pingyang waved his hand and said, "I'm not cold."

Yuzhu saw that her master was in a better mood after returning from Qingfeng Garden, and said with a smile: "The eldest lady in this house is straightforward, and the second lady is gentle and meticulous. They are both excellent people."

Pingyang smiled and replied: "Back then, my grandmother also took a fancy to the harmony between the female family members of the public house. I didn't have to worry about interpersonal relationships when I got married, so I asked the Holy Spirit for a marriage."

Yuzhu sighed: "The concubine is indeed very discerning. Nowadays, it will be difficult to find another innocent family like the Duke in Beijing."

“Yuzhu, I want to bring Jiao Xing back.” Pingyang suddenly said.

Yuzhu looked at Pingyang doubtfully: "Okay, why did you remember this again?"

Pingyang replied: "Didn't you see how kind and generous the second sister-in-law and the second brother's concubine were when they were in Qingfeng Garden just now?"

As he said that, Pingyang sighed slightly and said: "The prince of the prince is well-known in Beijing for loving his wife. I heard that the second sister-in-law was infertile at that time, and the second brother even did not hesitate to offend the prince's Liang Di in order to protect her. I I have always wondered how a woman of low birth could be so virtuous and loved by her husband, but I didn’t understand it until today.”

Pingyang looked at Yuzhu and said, "Being gentle and virtuous is the key."

When Yuzhu saw her little mistress thinking like this, she was worried that the little princess would suffer because of this, so she couldn't help but advise: "The prince has been married for so many years, and it was not until the prince's wife was pregnant that he kept such a concubine. You have just gotten married. Why imitate this.”

Pingyang replied: "This is not the most important thing. I originally heard that the second brother did not intend to keep that concubine. It was the second sister-in-law who made the decision to keep her. And I saw with my own eyes the second sister-in-law's treatment of that concubine in Qingfeng Garden today. When they were in the palace, although my father and brother had many concubines, and although my mother and sister-in-law didn't care, they didn't treat those concubines as human beings, let alone treat those women as kindly as the second sister-in-law. This is the first time I have seen such a virtuous and kind-hearted woman as my second sister-in-law."

"No wonder she is so favored by her husband. I think the key is here."

 Pingyang, who was born into a princely family, was certainly not a stupid girl, but she loved Li Xiang so much that she not only lost herself, but also lost the reason to look at the problem thoroughly.

Seeing that the little princess was obsessed with love, Yuzhu persuaded her earnestly: "Princess, you and your uncle have just gotten married. Even if you wait for a year and a half to take a concubine for your uncle, your uncle will definitely know your virtuousness, so why should you?" So impatient."

Now that Pingyang has accepted the truth, how can he listen to the advice? He insisted: "The matter is settled like this. On the eighth day of the next month, on my husband's birthday, you will order someone to go to Longzhuang in the suburbs to take care of that delicate apricot." Take it back."

She curled her lips and said, "It can be considered a birthday gift from me to your husband."

At noon, Li Ling came back from outside. Jing Shu was sitting on the warm couch outside playing with the red plums she picked in the morning.

Li Ling took off his cloak, looked at his wife and said, "I've been working hard all morning, why don't you lie down and take a rest." Jingshu looked at her husband and replied with a smile, "I'm in good spirits today. I don't feel tired at all."

"How do you think I did it?" Jingshu said, pushing a bottle of freshly planted plum blossoms to Li Ling.

 She is so beautiful, with bright red plum blossoms, which makes people happy both physically and mentally. Even though Li Ling is not an elegant person, he cannot help but be attracted to her.

 He took off his boots and got on the warm couch, took the plum scissors from his wife's hand, and said, "I'll help you prune them."

Jingshu did not expect Li Ling to be so leisurely and relaxed. With a smile in her eyes, she patiently taught Li Ling how to prune plum branches.

Li Ling cut the plum blossoms and Jing Shu planted the plum blossoms. The couple worked together in perfect harmony.

 While chatting, Jingshu told Li Ling with great interest what Xu Wanning had figured out for her today.

After hearing this, Li Ling frowned and said in surprise: "Two boys? How can this be so good?"

Seeing Li Ling's appearance, Jing Shu angrily said, "What? You don't like me giving birth to a son?"

Li Linggui is the heir apparent, and not only the couple, but also the entire town and government are looking forward to a son.

 After all, their children will inherit the title.

"As long as you, mother and child, are safe, I don't really care whether it's a boy or a girl." As he said that, Li Ling looked at his wife's unpregnant belly with a worried expression: "It's extremely dangerous for a woman to give birth, even if she gives birth to a child, she has to go through thousands of The most difficult thing is if there are two."

Li Ling's face became darker when he wanted to say it, and he murmured: "What if there are two?"

Jingshu didn't pay much attention to Xu Wanning's calculation. She just mentioned it to Li Ling, but she didn't expect that Li Ling actually took it seriously.

Glancing at Li Ling's unfounded worried look, Jing Shu smiled and said, "This is just something a woman got for free. It cannot be taken seriously."

Li Ling's face was still gloomy. He looked at his wife and said, "I will go to the palace tomorrow and ask the imperial doctor to take a look."

Seeing how worried Li Ling was, Jing Shu comforted her with a smile: "It's not like the imperial doctor just came to check his pulse three days ago. Don't worry, I will take good care of him and nothing will go wrong."

Li Ling's brows were still furrowed. He put down the plum scissors in his hand, looked at his wife and said solemnly: "It's better to let the imperial doctor take a look, so that I can feel more at ease."

Jingshu knew that he was stubborn, so she stopped trying to persuade him and just picked up the scissors and concentrated on pruning the plum branches.

 “That’s it, you’ve been tired enough today, go and lie down on the bed for a while.” After saying that, Li Ling got up and got off the ground, leaned over and carried his wife onto the bed.

Jingshu was leaning on the bedside. Seeing that Li Ling was still frowning, she reached out and held his face, dumbfounded: "Look at you, a general commanding thousands of troops, but you are so timid."

Li Ling reached out and gently stroked his wife's belly, sighed slightly, and replied softly: "I really don't care whether the child is a boy or a girl. As long as you two are safe, I have nothing more to ask for. "
