Rebirth of the High Gate Mistress

Chapter 619: Be honest from now on

After the careful care of the imperial doctor, Li Xiang's body gradually recovered. Gradually he was able to drink soup, gained strength, and was able to walk. However, he was still weak and could not walk too far. However, in order to recover as soon as possible, he had to order his servant every day. Walk as much as possible with support.

The autumn sun was shining brightly that day. Li Xiang was supported by the servant and slowly walked out of the house and came to the yard. He had not seen the sun for a long time and suddenly saw the sun. Li Xiang covered his eyes with his hands, but he saw Pingyang walking in the distance.

She was wearing a red skirt and walking in the autumn sun, gorgeous and brilliant.

Li Xiang stood there. He gradually lowered his hand covering his eyes and watched her slowly walking towards her.

Pingyang walked up to Li Xiang. She gave him an angry look and complained: "Why did you come out? The imperial doctor said that you should be healthy for a few days and you can't breathe."

Li Xiang smiled and replied: "I've been bored in the house for too long. If I don't come out, I'm going to grow hairy."

“I’m sorry you can still tell a joke.” Pingyang helped him sit down on a chair in the yard, looked at him and said, “Seeing you act like that a few days ago scared me half to death.”

Li Xiang looked at his wife and murmured: "Pingyang, you are still the same as when I first met you. You haven't changed at all and you are still as beautiful."

Pingyang couldn't help but be stunned by Li Xiang's irrelevant words. After he realized what he was saying, he glared at Li Xiang and replied, "Why did you say this? You are probably out of your mind."

Li Xiang raised his hand to hold his wife's hand, looked at her and said, "Pingyang, even though I was in a coma when I was ill, I could still hear the words you said by my side."

When Pingyang heard this, her face turned red, and she lowered her head in a slight panic. After being silent for a long time, she raised her eyes and glanced at Li Xiang again, and asked as if she didn't believe it: "Is it true? You are so comatose that you don't know what's going on." , can you still hear me?"

 At that time, seeing how seriously ill he was, Pingyang said many sincere words while guarding him, but he didn't want him to know.

Li Xiang saw his wife's shyness, he smiled and replied: "I actually didn't hear everything, I was confused, but sometimes I understood and sometimes I was confused."

Pingyang didn't know whether Li Xiang heard what she said. The blush on his cheeks didn't dissipate for a long time, and his clear eyes flashed, revealing a trace of panic in her heart.

Li Xiang held her hand, looked into the distance, and murmured: "Pingyang, without you, I really wouldn't be able to survive this time."

 He turned to look at his wife and said, "Pingyang, when can you take me home? I miss home."

Pingyang smiled slightly, with two shallow dimples showing on her fair and round face. She looked at her husband and replied: "If you are homesick, I can take you back at any time, but I have a condition. You must agree." I."

 Li Xiang asked: "What are the conditions?"

Pingyang looked at Li Xiang and replied: "From now on, you are not allowed to show off, no matter if you are mediocre or have no achievements, in short, I don't care about these. You are no longer allowed to compare with others, just be honest." That’s fine.”

Li Xiang couldn't help but feel happy after hearing his wife's words, and asked: "What do you mean, do you mean that I will not be allowed to leave the capital in the future?"

"You'd better stay in the city for me." Pingyang was angry and rolled his eyes at Li Xiang: "It's really not me who restrains you. Just talk about it. When I returned to Yizhou a few years ago, You jumped into the meandering water, if Cousin Pei hadn't rescued you."

“I’ve already fed the fish.” Before Pingyang could leave, Li Xiang said with a smile.

Pingyang gave him an angry look: "You still have the nerve to say that."

She snorted, and continued to scold him: "You scared me half to death that time, and you made such a fuss this time. You have been out for three or four months, and you will be home one day. You just want to A piece of jade is staying here without everyone. If you weren't so unreliable, how could you be so unlucky to contract the epidemic."

“You scared me half to death again.” She said angrily.

Li Xiang glanced at Pingyang quietly and said seriously: "Madam, what you said makes sense. From this point of view, it is really not suitable for me to leave home. So from now on, I will simply quit my errands and just stay at home."

With a wicked smile on his lips, he glanced at her and said, "It's just that I hang out in front of you all day long after I get home, so don't be annoyed by it."

 “I’m not annoyed!”

As soon as the words came out, Pingyang immediately covered her mouth and her cheeks turned red again. She blinked and then added: "You make people worry when you go out. I am scared of you."

Li Ling is out on an expedition, and Jing Shu in the palace is also trying to keep her spirits up.

Although there are important ministers to assist the prince in matters of family and country, his son is young after all, so Jing Shu has to give him more advice on many things.

On this day, after the prince greeted Jingshu and the eldest princess and left, the eldest princess looked at her grandson's tall back and couldn't help but ask Jingshu: "Brother Xuan is already fifteen, and there has never been a female dependent in the East Palace. Who are you?" What's the plan?"

 The prince's marriage is not only a family matter, but also a state matter.

 The prince will have his attendants to sleep with him at the age of thirteen, and he will get married at the age of seventeen. This is an unshakable rule in the royal family.

The eldest princess had long heard of the fact that the ministers had repeatedly appealed to the prince to accept him as his bed attendant but were rejected. However, the emperor and empress had the final say in such matters, and she had never had any involvement before.

Now that Daqi is powerful and the prince is about to get married, the eldest princess begins to pay attention to this matter.

In fact, Jingshu had no problem with her son not wanting to sleep with him. Her own husband just kept her alone. As a woman, Jingshu couldn't stand a man having three wives and four concubines.

Although the eldest princess does not like men having three wives and four concubines, she is the princess who protects the country. She has assisted two generations of emperors along the way, with different situations and different moods.

 In the eyes of the eldest princess, the future of the Zhao family always comes first, so she naturally hopes that the royal family's descendants will prosper.

Seeing her mother-in-law ask about it, Jingshu replied truthfully: "I originally wanted to choose a bedmate for him according to the rules, but I never wanted the child, and my husband always allowed him to do what he wanted, so I kept putting off the matter. I know that the officials have long had objections to this, but neither the father nor the son are interested in it, and I can't do anything about it."

His mother-in-law couldn't kiss her son or grandson no matter how much she kissed her, so when it came to this matter, Jingshu had to be smart enough to pick it off herself.

Jingshu was not born in a high family, but she was able to reach a high position and even became a virtuous queen praised by everyone. She relied on the word "wisdom".

After listening to Jingshu's words, the eldest princess sighed slightly and replied: "Bo Yue is not a womanizer, and Brother Xuan also followed him. The father and son are of the same blood, so this matter is not surprising. On your head."

Jingshu said hurriedly: "Thank you, mother, for your understanding."

The eldest princess pondered for a moment, and then asked: "Let's not mention the matter of sleeping in bed for now, but the prince is about to get married. Have you paid attention to the candidate for the prince's concubine?"
