Rebirth of the High Gate Mistress

Chapter 406: Happy to have a son

Jiao Xing left. Except for Li Xiang who was very sad, her departure did not cause any ripples in the palace.

 The old lady and the eldest princess never even asked Aunt Xing, except when the fifth sister came over to take a look when she was one month old.

 Fast forward to July, Pingyang gave birth to a boy successfully.

Pingyang gave birth to two daughters in a row, and she got a boy at one stroke. Everyone in the Zhenguo Palace was very happy. The eldest princess even gave a manor in the suburbs of Beijing to her grandson as a meeting gift.

 Xiao Silang is the name given by Pingyang, and he is called Brother Heng.

In order to make up for the injustice suffered by Pingyang, Heng Geer's full moon banquet was held in the mansion for three days, and its grandeur was far more grand than that of the other children.

Jingshu and Xu Wanning also prepared generous gifts for Brother Heng and sent away the last wave of guests. They came to Xianglin Garden to visit Pingyang's mother and son.

Brother Xiao Heng is fair and fat, with a handsome face and beautiful eyes like Pingyang. He is very popular.

Xu Wanning hugged Brother Heng and couldn't put it down and said: "Looking at such a cute big fat boy, I am so lovable that it makes me want to have a baby again."

Jingshu covered her mouth and smiled and teased her: "Brother Ping is getting older now. If you want to have a baby, why not do it while your eldest brother is at home. I heard that floods are still serious in the south this year. After a while, eldest brother may be affected again." If we are transferred to the south for flood relief, you will have to wait again."

Xu Wanning replied to Jing Shu: "You still have the intention to urge me here. How come you still don't want it after all these years? You only have two, but you are lagging behind."

Jingshu had indeed always wanted to have another child, but Li Ling was frightened when she gave birth to her brother Xuan Baojie. Even after all these years, Li Ling still did not agree to let her have another child.

Jingshu felt aggrieved when she mentioned this. She just made an excuse and replied: "I've always wanted it, but I didn't get pregnant."

Seeing that both of them were so keen on having children, Pingyang said with a bitter face: "It seems that you all have an easy time conceiving children. That's enough for me. Fortunately, this baby is a boy, and I don't plan to have any more children." ”

The three sisters-in-law were chatting around the children here. Li Xiang strolled in. Pingyang closed his mouth angrily, and the originally lively room fell into embarrassment.

In order to lighten the atmosphere, Xu Wanning joked to Li Xiang: "The third brother is happy to have a son. This time it is considered complete. Are you happy?"

Ever since Jiao Xing left the house, Li Xiang has been depressed. Although Ping Yang has given birth to a son for him, he is not happy either.

Li Xiang forced a smile and replied perfunctorily: "Boys and girls, both are fine, I like them all the same."

When Jingshu and Xu Wanning saw Li Xiang returning, they didn't stay any longer. They exchanged a few words and left Xianglin Garden together.

Xu Wanning couldn't help complaining to Jing Shu: "What do you think of this third brother? Is the one named Jiao Xing so good? I think since this girl left, he seems to have lost his soul." Yes, I didn’t hear how he doted on that girl when she was in the mansion.”

Jingshu sighed slightly and said, "It can be seen that the third brother really loves that girl. He did that in the past just to protect her."

Li Xiang, an aristocratic son, can be so affectionate and loyal to a lowly woman. It is indeed touching, but it really hurts Pingyang's heart.

Xu Wanning sighed with emotion: "Fortunately, Pingyang finally gave birth to a boy, which can be considered some comfort." The two sisters-in-law were walking back when the woman at the door caught up and came back to tell General Zhou's mansion that Zhou Jiangning got up and asked to see him.

Jingshu ordered Zhou Jiangning to be invited to the front hall, and the two sisters also went to the front hall to see Zhou Jiangning.

 Zhou Jiangning was bitten by a vicious dog while watching the Dragon Boat Festival at Dragon Boat Festival. Although his vital parts were not injured, he was seriously injured. Now, more than a month has passed, and his arm is still wrapped in a thick bandage.

After meeting the two ladies of the Duke's mansion, Zhou Jiangning ordered someone to present him with the generous gifts he had prepared, and said in a pleasant manner: "I was supposed to come to the feast for the full moon of the Fifth Prince, but look at what I look like. He's a nice person, he just waits for the guests to leave before coming over."

Jingshu looked at Zhou Jiangning's wrapped arm and asked with concern: "It's so badly hurt here. Do we have to recover for a while?"

Zhou Jiangning replied: "The other wounds are all fine, except that a piece of flesh was torn off this arm by the beast. It will take a while to recover."

Glancing at Zhou Jiangning's slightly haggard appearance after being tortured, Xu Wanning sighed and said, "It's so unlucky to have such a misfortune happen to me for no reason. It's a pity that I don't know where the beast was raised. It's so harmful to people." shallow."

Zhou Jiangning looked at Jing Shu and Xu Wanning and snorted coldly: "Do you two ladies really think that this beast is hurting people unintentionally?"

When Xu Wanning heard this, she wondered: "Could this disaster be caused intentionally by someone?"

Zhou Jiangning replied: "The beast entered the pavilion and pounced directly on me and Hua En. How could there be such a coincidence? I thought it was strange, so I ordered someone to secretly investigate. Humph! Sure enough, someone deliberately wanted to harm our sister and brother. ?”

Jingshu guessed: "Could it be the Zhao family who was imprisoned in Jinchan Temple?"

"Second Madam, you guessed it right." Zhou Jiangning said bitterly: "I have always felt that this matter was strange, so I ordered someone to check it secretly at Jinchan Temple. Sure enough, someone had seen that beast in Zhao's yard, hum. ! The person who hates our siblings the most is Ms. Zhao, who else could have done it if she hadn’t done it? "

When Xu Wanning heard this, she was so angry that she gritted her teeth and cursed: "This Zhao family has a vicious heart. Now that he has fallen to this point, he still refuses to repent. It's really hateful!"

Jingshu frowned and replied: "It's a pity that the vicious dog is just a beast, and it has no symptoms."

When Zhou Jiangning mentioned this, he sighed and said bitterly: "That's right, a beast can't open his mouth to accuse him of serious crimes. No matter how angry my Zhou family is, I can't hold that **** to task."

Jingshu asked: "I heard that Uncle Zhou was angry and sick because of Zhao's incident a while ago. Is he feeling better now?"

Zhou Jiangning waved his hand and said, "Don't mention it. Ever since I learned that this **** was deliberately plotting to harm our sister and brother, my father's illness has become worse."

Xu Wanning said: "Uncle Zhou has a long-standing problem. Going to fight against the Xiongnu will inevitably be tiring and tiring. Now that Zhao is tossing him, his body can't bear it."

Zhou Jiangning echoed: "Yes, this time my father's body is completely useless. He really can't fight on the battlefield anymore. I'm afraid he will have to retire. Alas! I don't think my father, a man who is so upright and upright, actually married Concubine Meng is really committing a crime by marrying a stupid woman like Mrs. Zhao."

As she said that, she couldn't help but resent Zhao Yuan'er and said: "I gave that **** an advantage this time, but I will bear this grudge in my heart. Sooner or later, I will make that **** pay back everything he owes me to the Zhou family." .”
