Rebirth of the High Gate Mistress

Mrs. Xie and Pingyang were chatting with Mrs. Gu in the hall. Mrs. Gu looked at Pei Yunqian and was very satisfied. She expected that her daughter would also like him, so she chatted with Mrs. Xie very excitedly.

 Several ladies were drinking tea and talking here, and the little girl introduced Miss Xu into the hall.

Miss Xu was born with a beautiful appearance. When Mr. Xie saw someone, his eyes couldn't help but light up.

Mrs. Gu's face was bright, and she hurriedly called her daughter: "Ying'er, come and see the Crown Princess."

Even though Miss Xu knew that her marriage to Pei Yunqian was ruined, she still maintained her dignity and slowly stepped forward to greet Mr. Xie.

Mrs. Xie took Miss Xu to sit beside her, smiled and joked with Mrs. Gu, "The girls in your mansion are really top-notch. I think the eldest lady in the palace is already a complete beauty. I never thought that your family would be like this." My little daughter is even more outstanding, oh! It’s not an exaggeration to say that she has a pretty face.”

Mr. Gu said humbly: "Thank you for your compliments. Our family is a general, and the etiquette of the girls is not as good as that of others from a scholarly family."

Several noble ladies chatted for a while. After Mrs. Gu took her daughter back, Pingyang asked Ms. Xie: "This girl has a good appearance and temperament. What do you think, sister-in-law?"

Xie smiled and said, "I've taken a fancy to it too, but I still have to listen to cousin Pei's wishes on this matter."

 “After all, it’s not about marrying him a wife.”

Pingyang replied: "Miss Xu is such a person, my cousin must be satisfied with her."

Xie Shi smiled and said: "That's right. If he still doesn't like this, then his vision is too high."

“When I get back, I’ll talk to your elder brother and ask him to ask his cousin what he means.”

Mrs. Xie looked at Pingyang and warned: "As for the Xu family, I have to bother your sister-in-law to ask. Haha, we have taken a fancy to him, and we don't know what he means yet."

Pingyang replied: "I see that Mrs. Gu is quite satisfied with my cousin. I guess they must also agree."

Xie smiled cheerfully and said, stroking her hands: "It seems that the matter is settled."

He sighed again: "The talent and appearance of the man are really a perfect match for her."

Xie returned to the palace. As soon as she returned to the main room, someone in charge came up and said that Meng was not well.

Xie took off her cloak, sat down on the chair, and asked, "What's going on? From the Zhang family, please speak slowly."

This piece from the two families is the dowry of the Xie family, and is the most powerful confidant of the Xie family.

Zhang Er's family replied: "This morning, the concubine said she was dizzy when she got up. When she got down to the ground, the maid failed to hold her steady and fell. The fall was not heavy at first, so she didn't pay much attention to it. Who would have thought that at noon... Suddenly I became red."

Meng's pregnancy was less than three months old, which was the most unstable time.

Hearing this, Mr. Xie asked, "Can the doctor be invited over? Does the prince know?"

The second Zhang family member replied: "The prince went out this morning and has not come back yet. The doctor in the mansion is here to treat the madam. Without the madam's order, no one can go and invite him."

Mrs. Xie rolled her eyes at the mother-in-law and replied: "She is pregnant with the prince's flesh and blood. The prince and I are not at home. As the person in charge, you should act according to expediency." After saying this, Mr. Xie ordered: "Hurry up. Let the doctor go over and take a look. If necessary, take the badge and go outside to ask the female doctor to come over."

After the Zhang family left, Yanzhi brought ginseng tea and couldn't help but said: "Madam is really kind-hearted. The concubine cannot raise a child because of her own bad luck. My son-in-law doesn't care about this, so why are you like this?" Send someone over urgently.”

Mrs. Xie took the tea cup and took a sip, frowning and said: "She is pregnant with the flesh and blood of her husband. I am just doing my duty to do this."

Yanzhi doubted: "Ever since the concubine became pregnant, she has been raising her baby like a baby. She doesn't dare to go out on weekdays. How could she suddenly fall down? Madam, is there something fishy here?"

"You have become smarter." Mrs. Xie glanced at the maid and sneered: "Who knows what kind of show she is doing? It won't be a good show anyway."

As she spoke, she leaned lazily on the soft couch, holding her slightly bulging belly, and murmured: "While the child hasn't come out yet, just do whatever tricks you want. I'll continue."

As soon as Zhao Xuan stepped into the second gate, he heard people reporting on Meng's affairs. He was startled and hurriedly headed across the courtyard.

 The room smelled of medicine, and Meng was leaning on the bed in a daze.

Zhao Xuan stepped forward and asked anxiously: "Why did you fall down again? How are you now? What did the doctor say?"

Mr. Meng wiped her eyes and replied in a low voice: "It's okay. It's just a fall. The doctor looked at it and said it's not serious."

Zhao Xuan breathed a sigh of relief and said, "How could you be so careless?"

Before Meng could speak, her personal maid Chunhong replied: "This morning when I got up, my concubine said she wasn't feeling well. I was just about to go find you, so the concubine got out of bed, and Qiu Ju, who was responsible for making the bed, came over. He helped the concubine, and then the concubine fell down."

“It’s going to be red soon, but you and the Crown Princess are not in the house, and we can’t hire a doctor, so we can only do it in a hurry.”

Zhao Xuan frowned when he heard this and said coldly: "Which Qiu Ju? Why do you do things so carelessly? What do you keep such a person for?"

As he spoke, he ordered: "Go and pass on my command to drive her out."

Meng Shi took Zhao Xuan's hand and cried: "She is just a girl, what's the use of venting your anger on her."

"I desperately want to protect this child. Hey! If I can give birth to a child for you smoothly, it will be considered as the friendship between us. If I don't have this blessing, it's just my fate. You can’t blame anyone else.”

As she spoke, she turned her face away, closed her eyes, and just let her tears flow.

When Zhao Xuan saw this, he became even more angry. While comforting his concubine, he asked Chunhong: "Even if my wife and I are not at home, since the concubine is in danger, you should find a way to ask a doctor. Are you going to let her be like this?" Can you bear it? If something goes wrong, I'll see who can bear it."

Seeing that Zhao Xuan was angry, Yanzhi cried and replied: "It's not that I'm not doing my best. I originally went to Granny Zhang, who was in charge, to explain the situation. It was just the steward's excuse, saying that she couldn't make the decision and had to wait until the prince's concubine came back. Ouch, slave, there is nothing you can do."

Meng Shi sighed and said to Zhao Xuan: "Forget it, the servants in this house should obey the madam's orders. I am just a concubine. It is normal for them to be like this."

Zhao Xuan looked at Meng and replied: "You are pregnant with my flesh and blood, and they dare to be so negligent. If they are not severely punished, they may rebel in the future."

As he spoke, he said to Chun Hong: "Go and pass my order to the chief steward of the palace, and ask him to beat Qiu Ju and the steward surnamed Zhang twenty times, and then drive them out of the palace and send them to Zhuangzi." Go and do hard work."
