Rebirth of the High Gate Mistress

Chapter 310 Parents-in-law

Today it happened that Li Ling and Li Xiang were taking a rest. In the evening, the eldest princess invited several of her children to have dinner at Luo'antang.

The eldest princess has now moved back to Zhen Guo Gong's mansion and lives with Zhen Guo Gong in the newly renovated Luo'an Hall. Maybe these older princesses are fed up with the loneliness of living alone, and now that they have a chance, they want to get together with their children and several grandchildren.

 In the evening, Li Lingjingshu came to Luo'an Hall with her two children.

It turns out that Duke Zhen Guo has been living alone here. All the buildings and furnishings here have long been outdated. Li Ling asked for repairs several times, but Duke Zhen Guo refused. Since the eldest princess moved back, Duke Zhen Guo ordered them to be repaired. Not only did the people rearrange the inside and outside of the living room, but they also opened up the back garden next to the courtyard.

 There are exquisite pavilions, small bridges and flowing water, and all kinds of exotic flowers and plants are in full bloom.

Li Ling took his wife and walked inside. Looking at the beautiful Luo'an Hall, he whispered to his wife: "My father has always been frugal, but now he has spent a lot of money to please my mother."

Jingshu replied: "Mother has always loved flowers and plants. You will ask someone to find some good ones and send them over later."

“No need, I think my father is going to turn this place into a garden, so why should I join in the fun?”

Jingshu glanced at her husband who didn't understand: "No matter how good my father is, it's his intention as a husband. As a son, you should also do your best for your mother."

 Li Ling scratched his head and frowned: "That makes sense, but I really don't know what flowers and plants my mother likes. Please tell me in detail when you get back."

The two of them talked all the way to the main hall. The Duke of Zhen Guo accompanied the eldest princess to enjoy the lotus on the railing on the waterside pavilion next to the palace. When the Duke of Zhen Guo saw Li Lingjingshu, he waved to the two of them and said, "We will serve the meal here today. Just come here."

Li Ling helped his wife onto the covered bridge and slowly walked towards the pavilion in the water.

It turns out that Duke Zhenguo has always lived in seclusion. Even when he gets together with everyone during festivals, he rarely talks to him. Now that the eldest princess has returned, he has completely changed. Not only is his mental state much better, he can't even speak. There are also more.

"Look at these black swans. I ordered people to buy them from the south. It took a lot of effort. I was worried that they were not acclimatized to the soil. Haha, I never thought that after raising them for so many days, they would be fine. .”

As he spoke, the Duke of Zhen grabbed the grain and threw it towards the water. A dozen swans swam over with their wings fluttering.

The adults were delighted to see it, and Brother Xuan and Sister Bao were even more excited. Brother Xuan was so happy that he even moved his hands and feet in the wet nurse's arms, waving his little arms and little fat legs towards the water. The elf is babbling.

The eldest princess smiled and took the grandson, held her in her arms, and said to Zhenguo Zheng: "Look at this child, he looks more and more like Boyue."

Duke Zhen Guo stood beside the eldest princess, looked down at Brother Xuan, nodded and said: "It is true that he is becoming more and more like his father, but when he grows up, he will be like his father, who is cold-faced. "

Among the three children, the eldest princess liked her eldest son the most. When her husband said this, she glared at Duke Zhen and retorted: "There are some military generals who are not cold-faced. When you were young, you were not informal." Yanxiao?"

"Yes, yes, you are right." The Duke of Zheng hurriedly responded to his wife, looked at the eldest princess with crooked eyebrows and said, "It's just that I'm old now, and there are more wrinkles on my face, isn't it? It won’t be cold anymore.”

Li Ling looked at his father's lack of principle in front of his mother, shrugged his shoulders, and pulled his wife aside to enjoy the scenery.

 But the ears are not pure.

Just listen to the two chattering words of the Duke of Zhen and the eldest princess: "I plan to wait for spring to plant a large piece of Poinciana on the other side of the lake, and also plant one in the small garden in front of our palace, so that you can see it as soon as you look up. How about going to that sea of ​​​​flaming flowers?"

The eldest princess likes the poinciana tree the most, so there is no reason not to agree.

“I have also thought about expanding the lake for a while and bringing in the river water from the back mountain. We can go boating on the lake to pick lotus.”

"There is also the forest over there. I want to order everyone to knock it down. After it is leveled, it can be used as a martial arts training ground. We can ride and shoot in our free time."     "The garden there also needs to be rearranged. .”

Li Ling shook his head when he heard this, and muttered in a low voice: "It's a lot of money for this."

Jing Shu secretly glanced at her parents-in-law and snickered: "I think my father is going to turn the palace over again."

 After a while, Li Xiang Pingyang, the third girl Jin Yan and Sister Qing also rushed over.

Sister Qing’s baby is just over four months old. The little guy is wrapped in swaddling clothes, pouting and spitting bubbles. He is very cute and well-behaved.

The eldest princess saw her granddaughter and gave Brother Xuan to the Duke of Zhen. She was surprised that she had received the granddaughter-in-law.

When Grandma Ju saw that everyone had arrived, she ordered food to be set in the pavilion.

These pavilions and waterside pavilions were all newly built by the people of the town. The pavilions and terraces in the waterside pavilion are scattered at random and are very spacious. There are not only tables and stools for banquets, but also soft rocking chairs.

 In summer, the water is cool and the whole family gathers here, which is very comfortable and comfortable.

Because Duke Zhen Guo and the eldest princess both had old illnesses, Aunt Ju only ordered them to serve light fruit wine. Seeing the light color of the wine, Duke Zhen Guo waved her hand and said boldly: "It's rare for us to have time together today, Zhong Xuan." , and bring some flavorful wine.”

The eldest princess immediately handed over the eye knife and said angrily: "You have a cough, how can you drink strong alcohol?"

Upon seeing this, the Duke of Zhen Guo immediately calmed down. However, being scolded by his wife in front of his children, the Duke of Zhen Guo was still a little upset, but he did not dare to lose his temper at all. He just made up for it and said to himself: "I am happy today, I am. I forgot that I had a cough.”

　　A chronic illness that has lasted for more than ten years can be easily forgotten.

Looking at his father's obsessive appearance, Li Ling sighed inaudibly. The three girls flattened their mouths and turned their heads to admire the scenery.

 Li Xiang is the mildest of the three brothers and sisters. He was the only one who helped smooth things over with a smile: "My father loved drinking when he was young, but he has not dared to drink alcohol since he became ill. It is normal to be addicted to alcohol occasionally."

The Duke of Zhenguo smiled and looked at his son. He was about to speak when he glanced at his wife's face and closed his mouth in a hurry and annoyance. He only smiled to please the eldest princess.

The whole family was sitting together, chatting and laughing. Just halfway through eating, Pingyang turned sideways and started retching.

The princess hurriedly asked: "What's wrong? Did you eat the wrong thing?"

Li Xiang hurriedly put down the jade chopsticks to caress his wife's back. After Pingyang calmed down, he announced to everyone with a smile that Pingyang was pregnant.

A prosperous family is a blessing to the whole family. After hearing the news, everyone looked happy, but the eldest princess was not happy.

Pingyang is both her daughter-in-law and her biological niece, so the eldest princess naturally loves her more. Giving birth is the most harmful thing to a woman's health. Pingyang became pregnant again less than half a year after giving birth to her child. Naturally, the eldest princess felt sorry for her niece.

"This baby came too soon, and we must take good care of it." The eldest princess is a person of few words, and will not be as nagging as ordinary women. Although her words of advice are short, her expression is unusually concerned. .

"Don't worry, mother, I will take good care of Pingyang." Before Pingyang could answer, Li Xiang said happily with a smile.
