Rebirth of the High Gate Mistress

Xu Wanning was preoccupied with her son's marriage. She walked anxiously to Brother Kun's yard. When the woman who served her said that Li Kun was in the study, she went straight towards the study.

Li Kun is motivated and has no dandyish habits in him. He is either practicing martial arts or studying, so he enjoys a good reputation among the nobles in the capital.

At this moment, Li Kun was sitting in front of the case, holding a book in a daze. When he saw his mother coming in, he was surprised and said, "Mother, what do you want to see me for?"

Xu Wanning was happy and asked: "What are you doing?"

Li Kun smiled and said, "What I can do is just read a book while I'm quiet."

Xu Wanning glanced at her son and smiled: "I think your mind today is not on this book." As she said that, she pointed at the book in her son's hand.

He even holds the book upside down, so where is his mind on this?

Li Kun lowered his eyes, with an embarrassed look on his face, and said to himself: "As soon as I picked up this book, my mother came in, and I didn't even have time to read it." As he said that, he put the book down calmly. He went down and asked with a half-red face: "Mother, what are you looking for me for?"

 Xu Wanning already understood something in her heart when she saw her son acting like this.

 Emotions This son is very fond of the wife he has chosen.

She felt proud, and with a smile on her face, she asked directly: "I heard from Sister Zhuang that you went to the palace today and saw the girl from the Liu family, right?"

"How is it? Mom is right. Isn't that girl very outstanding?"

 “Are you satisfied?”

Li Kun's face turned red by Xu Wanning's series of questions. He blushed and hesitated: "Since ancient times, all marriage matters have been decided by the parents. The mother chooses a son for her son to accept. Why do you come to ask me again."

The smelly boy, he refused to admit it when he fancy!

Xu Wanning glanced at her son and said deliberately: "This matter hasn't been settled yet. If you don't want to, it's still too late. I just have to talk to the matchmaker."

After hearing this, Li Kun frowned slightly, and his handsome face could not help but darken, and replied: "How can a family like ours go back on their word and regret their marriage? Since they have already asked a matchmaker to come to the door, When you propose marriage to someone, naturally you can't give up halfway."

Xu Wanning burst into laughter, and said angrily to her son: "You are willing if you are willing. Why are you hesitating and refusing to admit it? Men should marry when they are young, and women should marry when they are young. It is not a big deal for us to marry the daughter of the Liu family in a righteous manner. A shameful thing.”

Li Kun looked at his mother, smiled brilliantly, then bowed his hands and said, "My son thanked my mother."

In the Xianglin Garden of the Duke's mansion, Li Xiang returned from duty and headed straight towards the main room.

He entered the house and saw no one in the outer room. He called Pingyang's name and walked quickly into the inner room. Still no one was seen. He was about to turn around and go out to ask someone when he saw Lan Tian hurriedly come in from the outside. , Li Xiang asked: "Where is Madam?"

Lantian replied: "Just now, the servant girl from Prince Yong's palace in the middle of the capital came and went, saying that the prince and his wife had arrived in Beijing, and the wife had taken the children there."

 When Li Xiang heard this, his face darkened.

Zhao Xuan and his wife arrived in Beijing. They should go there together. Now Pingyang only took the children but did not wait for him. This made Li Xiang very unhappy.

 I don’t know since when, he became more and more concerned about Pingyang’s attitude towards him. Li Xiang sat down and was about to pour tea for him. Upon seeing this, Lan Tian hurriedly stepped forward to pour tea for him, but was stopped by Li Xiang. He glanced at Lan Tian and said, "If Madam is not in the house, no one will be left here." , what is this rule?"

Li Xiang had a sullen face and his tone of voice was also very unhappy.

When Lan Tian saw his master losing his temper, he hurriedly admitted his mistake and said that he had been negligent. He would not do it next time and would definitely arrange for manpower to serve him.

Li Xiang didn’t have the patience to listen to what she had to say, so he waved her back again.

 Li Xiang was the only one left in the room, and there was still no one to serve him.

The little girls who were supposed to be serving in the house saw that their master was angry, and they all followed Lan Tian anxiously to ask for instructions, asking if they should go in and serve at this moment.

Lantian glanced at the room and whispered: "You will get scolded if you go in now, so you can just hide."

The little girls got the idea and finally felt a little confident, so they breathed a long sigh of relief, but couldn't help asking Lan Tian: "What's wrong with the prince? Why do you lose your temper so easily now? The original third master is He is recognized as the most good-tempered master in the house."

"Isn't that right? I also find that the prince has changed a lot now compared to before. Especially when my wife is not at home, he always criticizes me. When my wife is not here, I am always trembling when I am on duty."

“Sister Lantian, it is said that when a woman reaches a certain age, her temperament will change, which is called ‘older’. Do you think men are like this too? Is the son of our family also ‘older’?”

Lantian knocked the little **** the head and said angrily: "Don't talk nonsense, or you will be caught and punished."

As she said that, she waved to the little girls: "You can go down now. There is no need to go in to serve. When the wife comes back later, the prince's temper will naturally disappear."

A few people were whispering this in the corridor. Li Xiang walked out of the house with a cold face. The people hurriedly closed their mouths and stood aside with their heads lowered in resentment.

Li Xiang went straight down the steps without looking at anyone. As soon as he walked into the courtyard, Sister Mei ran in and yelled at Li Xiang's long arms: "Daddy hug me, daddy hug me!"

Li Xiang has always been affectionate towards this young girl who lost her mother since childhood. He leaned over and picked up her daughter, coaxed her a few words and said: "Father is going to pick up mother, you go and play with the girls."

Lan Tian was standing on the porch. Li Xiang's words were clear to her ears. She walked over with a wink and said to Sister Mei, "Good sister, I will take you to the back garden to catch butterflies, okay?"

Sister Mei didn't say anything, but hugged Li Xiang's neck and said coquettishly: "Daddy is going to pick up mother, and I want to go with him. Can daddy take me with him?"

Li Xiang frowned and replied: "Sister Mei, be good. Daddy will be back soon."

Sister Mei, however, refused to obey. She pestered Li Xiang and refused to let go, constantly shouting that she wanted to go with him.

Li Xiang's face darkened. He looked at the young girl in his arms, with a hint of coldness in his eyes, and replied seriously: "You must be obedient!"

This was the first time that Sister Mei saw her father treating her like this. When she felt aggrieved, she burst out crying.

When Sister Mei cried like this, Lan Tian on the side became a little at a loss. She glanced at Li Xiang quietly, but Li Xiang had no intention of being soft-hearted. He handed the daughter in his arms to Lan Tian and told her, "Look after my sister." ." Then he strode out of the yard.
