Rebirth of the High Gate Mistress

Chapter 603: Fighting over concubines

In Prince Yong's Mansion, Xie's delivery date has come. During this period, she did not go out anymore and only stayed in the Mansion every day to wait for the birth. Zhao Xuan also stayed with his wife in the Mansion, waiting for the birth of the child with his wife.

Zhao Xuan was bored and flipped through the book to name the child. He came up with several names. Mr. Xie was not satisfied with any of them, so Zhao Xuan simply threw down the book and said with a smile: "Every time you dislike the names I give. good."

Ms. Xie leaned on the bed and fiddled with the jade bracelet on her wrist, and replied with a smile: "It's not that I dislike you, but the names you gave me are really unpleasant."

Zhao Xuan sighed and said in a good temper: "That's all, I'm going to meet this child in the next two days. When we know the boy's and girl's birthdays, we'll get it right."

With that said, he stood up, sat down next to his wife, and asked: "You used to be so active in arranging for cousin Pei's marriage. Now that cousin Pei has been promoted, why are you not enthusiastic anymore? I'm still thinking about these few days. I have nothing to do, so I invited him to come to my house for a drink."

Mentioning this matter, Ms. Xie raised her eyes to look at her husband and said with a smile: "Since cousin Pei has been promoted to a higher position, you have been treating him more enthusiastically than before."

Zhao Xuan's face turned bright red when his wife told him something that was on his mind, and he quickly added: "He's grown up. As an elder brother, what's wrong with me, as an elder brother, caring about his life-long affairs?"

Mrs. Xie didn't know what her husband was thinking, so she patiently explained to him: "There's nothing wrong with you caring about this matter. It's just that you didn't care much about it before. Now that you see someone getting promoted, you suddenly become attentive. The Pei family expressed that My brother is a careful person, what do people think of your change like this?"

Zhao Xuan knew that he could not hide his little thoughts from his wife, so he simply stopped arguing and just smiled awkwardly: "I am also thinking about the future of our family."

Ms. Xie replied: "Cousin Pei is a person who values ​​friendship and loyalty. He will never forget the kindness our royal family treated him in the past. I helped him enthusiastically when he was not prosperous in the past, but it is better than now when he is prosperous." It's better to add icing on the cake. It's not that I don't want to take care of his marriage, but I see that he has never been enthusiastic. If we don't understand each other anymore, things will turn out to be the opposite. So, don't mention this matter to him in the future. "

Zhao Xuan said sincerely, "Ma'am, you are very thoughtful." As he said that, he couldn't help but wonder: "What do you think of cousin Pei? He is very popular now, and many famous families in Beijing are eager to marry him. , He is also old, so why is he not in a hurry?"

As he spoke, he sighed: "It's okay if he doesn't marry a wife. There isn't even a personal maid to serve in the house. Oh! Cousin Pei is really confusing."

In the eyes of powerful people like Zhao Xuan, people like Pei Yunqian who came out of the mud should have endless enjoyment of three wives and four concubines once they become prosperous.

Pei Yunqian is acting like this now, which obviously subverts his cognition.

Mrs. Xie sneered in her heart, but she didn't show it on her face. She just said perfunctorily to her husband: "People are different. Maybe people like cousin Pei would rather be short than messy. If they meet someone they like, they should devote themselves to it with all their heart." If you don't like it, even if you give him a hundred, he won't even care."

The couple were chatting in the house, and the little girl outside ran in and replied hurriedly: "Madam, it's not good, Concubine Meng and Aunt Tao got into a fight in the yard, and the concubine was knocked unconscious. "

The baby in Meng's belly is more than a month younger than Xie's, and now it's almost time to mature.

Upon hearing this, Zhao Xuan changed his voice and asked hurriedly: "How is the child?"

The little girl replied: "I don't even know."

Zhao Xuan said anxiously: "Why are you still standing there? Why don't you go and call the doctor quickly?"

With that said, Zhao Xuan hurriedly put on his coat and murmured: "Oh! It's already this month, what should I do if I get hurt? This Tao Yao is really a little arrogant now."

Ever since she was pregnant, Mrs. Meng has been pampered and arrogant, and has been in various situations. Mrs. Xie has long been accustomed to it. He glared at Zhao Xuan and said calmly: "You don't have to worry. Don't you know what kind of temper Meng is? I think she is just dissatisfied when she sees you doting on Tao Yao now."

Zhao Xuan replied: "That's not possible. The child is already so old. How can she not know the importance of it?"

Although he didn't admit it, Zhao Xuan's busy movements obviously slowed down. After putting on his coat, he said goodbye to his wife and left the yard.

As soon as Zhao Xuan left, Xie's nanny stepped forward and reminded her: "I think this fox is afraid that Aunt Tao will take advantage of her to get bigger while she is giving birth. She is planning to do something cruel. Hehe, it's already been this month, and she's still..." If she doesn't stop, she's not afraid of actually hurting the child."

Xie snorted coldly: "She only thinks about men's love, how can she pretend to be anything else."

As she said this, Mrs. Xie gently stroked her bulging belly and told her, "With Tao Yao here, I don't have to deal with this **** every day. This baby has been raised well. Go and find out what's going on." , I am not a person who crosses rivers and burns bridges. Since that girl Taoyao helped me, I must protect her."

As soon as Zhao Xuang entered Meng's courtyard, Meng's maid Chunhong ran over crying and knelt down on the ground with a thump. She cried like a butchered pig: "Your Majesty, please save the concubine. Then, please save the concubine." Aunt Tao was so vicious that she almost killed the concubine and her son."

Zhao Xuan hurriedly asked: "How is the concubine?"

Chunhong cried and said: "I just woke up and it doesn't look good. The prince should go and see for himself."

Zhao Xuan hurried into the house. When Meng saw him, she threw herself into his arms and cried non-stop. Zhao Xuan comforted his concubine and asked, "You are already this month, why don't you stay in the house well?" Let me see if there are any injuries."

Meng raised her head, twitched and said: "Then according to your opinion, I, the concubine, should avoid your beloved concubine, right? She is in the garden, so I have to avoid it? Could it be that I, the concubine, am now... Do you want to look at an aunt’s face?”

Zhao Xuan hurriedly said, "That's not what I meant. Aren't I worried that you might bump into me?"

Seeing Meng's tears, Zhao Xuan asked with concern: "Is it hurt?"

This time, without waiting for Meng's reply, Chunhong stepped forward and replied: "We were accompanying our concubine to enjoy plum blossoms in the garden when we met Aunt Peach. Seeing her, our concubine lost interest and wanted to come back, but the peach However, the aunt stopped the concubine and taunted the concubine in a sly way because she was old and shabby and not favored by the master. Our concubine argued for a few words, but Aunt Tao actually pushed the concubine to the ground."

“Ugh, the concubine is pregnant. How can she withstand such abuse? No matter how jealous she is of the concubine, she should still care about the flesh and blood of the prince.”

 When Chunhong finished speaking, Meng Shizhi pretended to shout: "Don't say any more words!"

She glanced at Zhao Xuan and cried silently: "Then Aunt Tao is the prince's beloved concubine. By saying this, aren't you making things difficult for the prince?"

As she said that, she covered her face tightly with her handkerchief and choked with sobs: "You can leave, I'll be fine. I will protect our child. From now on, I will never leave the house again."

Zhao Xuan was so annoyed that he slapped the case together: "I want to see who has eaten the heart of a bear and dared to hurt my son's child. Go! Call that Aunt Tao and I will interrogate it myself."
