Rebirth of the High Gate Mistress

A month after the letter was sent, the Pei family did not receive a reply. Pei Yu and his wife's hopes were in vain, but they had no complaints about Prince Yong's Palace. Their family was the guilty party. Nowadays, the party disputes in the court are getting more and more intense. Anyone who doesn't want to take sides in the dispute between the Queen and Concubine Meng is afraid to avoid it.

When the Pei family was convicted and exiled, even the close relatives in the capital did not dare to come to see him off. The Pei Yu couple did not have much hope for Prince Yong's Palace, but as parents, they could not just watch. With their son ruined here, whenever there is a glimmer of hope, they always have to fight for it. Now that they are unwilling to help, they have given up.

But just when the Pei family had given up hope, on this day, two handsomely dressed young men came to this remote village with a team of guards. One of these two young men was fourteen or fifteen years old, and the other was ten years old. One or two years old, both of them are born with extraordinary handsomeness. The two young men are dressed in bright clothes and angry horses. At such a young age, they are very noble.

This eldest son is Zhao Xuan, the eldest son of Prince Yong's Palace, and the younger one is his younger brother Zhao Qian.

How could I have seen such a person in such a remote place? As soon as a group of people entered the village, the gray place suddenly became brighter. Those half-grown men were chasing behind the group of people with bare feet. Their eyes were full of novelty and... Some village women even opened their hands to ask for money from a few noble people.

Zhao Yang, who was riding on the horse, said with a look of disgust: "Brother, are you sure we didn't go the wrong way this time? My cousin is a high-ranking official in the imperial court, how can he be reduced to such a barbaric place?"

Zhao Xuan snorted coldly and replied: "My cousin offended Concubine Meng and sentenced him to exile. This is already a mercy from a saint. I heard that there were important ministers in Beijing who were suppressed by Concubine Meng, and there were quite a few who had their entire families executed."

Yizhou is far away from the capital. Prince Yong is an emperor-like figure within his territory. Several princes and their legitimate sons are used to being carefree in a land far away from the emperor. How can they understand the cruelty at the pinnacle of power.

After hearing his brother's words, Zhao Qian breathed a sigh of relief and replied: "Fortunately we are not in the capital, so we don't have to witness such bloodshed." Then he said worriedly: "My cousin is the guilty minister, and my father and the mother are going to take over." If their son returns home and someone finds out, we can't be implicated, right?"

Zhao Xuan laughed, raised his hand and patted his younger brother, and replied: "We just quietly brought our cousin into the house. As long as my cousin behaves in the exile, who can say anything. Besides, our grandmother is The saint’s adoptive mother, the saint has always been kind to us, Prince Yong’s Mansion, this little thing doesn’t matter.”

The two brothers talked all the way, and the attendants inquired all the way. The group arrived at Pei's house.

Pei Yu and his wife thought that Prince Yong's palace was unwilling to help them, but they did not expect that Prince Yong and his wife would actually send their two sons. The Pei family and his wife were surprised and happy to see Zhao Xuan and Zhao Qian.

The Zhao brothers are descendants of the royal family. Although the brothers are a bit more delicate, they are both people who know etiquette. When they saw the Pei family couple, they quickly got off their horses and bowed respectfully. They said in a pleasant manner: "My mother has received a message from my aunt. I was thinking about the letter, and immediately ordered our brothers to come to visit. My brothers had left early, but they encountered a mistake on the way and found the wrong place, so they arrived late. I hope my uncle and aunt will not come. Blame.”

Zhao Xuan then looked at the young man standing aside who was dressed in cloth but as tall as a pine tree. He directly said to the Pei family and his wife: "My mother-in-law asked our brothers to take cousin Pei into the house. My mother-in-law asked me to tell my aunt. , saying that she will definitely take good care of her cousin, so that my aunt can rest assured."

Mrs. Guo was extremely grateful to Princess Yongzhen for her willingness to help, but she still hesitated and asked, "Does Prince Yongzin know what your mother and concubine mean?"

Their family is now a criminal. Although Princess Yong is willing to take care of her son out of consideration for her kinship, Mrs. Guo is worried that Prince Yong will have some scruples. Mrs. Guo is a person who understands the general situation. Although she cares about her son's future, she also I don't want the couple to get into trouble over this.

As soon as Zhao Xuan heard Guo's words, he understood her thoughts. He cupped his hands and said, "Auntie, don't worry too much. My father has always admired my uncle as a person. The deceased Pei Gong was also my father's mentor, and my father is also willing to take care of me." Cousin’s.”

The Pei Gong mentioned by Zhao Xuan is Pei Yunqian's grandfather. He once served as the prince's tutor and taught the princes' studies in the study room.

Upon seeing this, the Pei family and his wife finally felt relieved. The house was empty and they could not entertain the distinguished guests. After some pleasantries, they packed their son's simple luggage and ordered him to follow the Zhao brothers on the road.

After leaving Pei's house, Zhao Xuan turned around and asked Guo secretly: "My aunt is coming from Beijing. Do you know the eldest daughter of Yongping Marquis Mansion?"

Guo was stunned for a moment when she heard this, but then she quickly understood. She smiled at Zhao Xuan and replied: "The prince is talking about the daughter of Princess Fukang who has passed away, right?" Zhao Xuanjun's face turned red and he was helpless. He scratched his head in confusion and whispered: "It's her." After saying that, he lowered his voice and asked Guo: "Does aunt know her? What's her temperament like?"

Without waiting for Guo's answer, Zhao Qian came together and said with a smile: "Really, my elder brother and the big girl of Nongping Hou Mansion set a marriage contract."

As soon as Zhao Qian's words left his mouth, he was slapped back by Zhao Xuan: "Children, you know what, don't interrupt here."

When the Pei family was still in Beijing, the Guo family also heard a little bit about the marriage between the Yongping Marquis Mansion and the Prince Yong Mansion.

She smiled and replied: "The eldest girl from the Yongping Marquis Mansion has just been granted the title of princess. I once saw her at a palace banquet. She is very beautiful and has a beautiful face. She is one of the most beautiful beauties in Beijing. I heard that she She is also very capable, because Princess Fukang passed away early, and she was already in charge of the family at a young age."

After Zhao Xuan heard Guo's praise for his fiancée, he frowned slightly and asked anxiously: "I don't care about this. I just want to ask my aunt, what is the temperament of this eldest girl from the Xie family? Is she good-tempered? "

Zhao Xuan is still a young man. What a man of this age is most interested in is a woman's appearance. The young man knows that who doesn't want to marry a beauty.

Guo was wondering when Zhao Qian came over and said: "To be honest with my aunt, my eldest brother originally had a sweetheart, but the woman's status was too low. Neither my father nor my mother and concubine agreed that my eldest brother would marry that woman as his wife. So I can only wrong that person to be my concubine, so the eldest brother is most concerned about the temper of the girl from the Xie family. If she is jealous and has a bad temper, my sister-in-law will be angry with her in the future, and my eldest brother will not be able to bear it. "

Zhao Qian was quick to speak, and after he finished talking about the pain, he noticed Zhao Xuan's gloomy face. He quickly ran away with his head in his arms, saying: "I'm the one talking too much, brother, don't be upset."

After Zhao Qian said this, Mrs. Guo understood Zhao Xuan's true thoughts. She smiled helplessly and replied: "Since Prince Yong's Palace has made a marriage agreement with Yongping Marquis Palace, then the eldest daughter of the Xie family is destined to be the crown prince. My wife is married. I only know that she is an excellent girl and has a good reputation in the capital. As for her temperament and whether she will be able to tolerate the prince's sweetheart in the future, I can't say, but since the prince has already been with her We are engaged, and my aunt only hopes that after you get married, you will be able to work together and be united as husband and wife."

Zhao Xuan blushed after hearing Guo's words. He kept saying yes, and politely said that he would invite the Pei family and his wife to have a wedding banquet when they got married. Then he took Pei Yunqian out of the Pei family's door and got on his horse.

In this way, Pei Yunqian was brought into Prince Yong's Mansion by Brother Zhao Xuan.

He was once a noble son of a powerful family. He once suffered a lot, and now he is reduced to being dependent on others. There is sadness in this, but Pei Yunqian is more grateful to Prince Yong and his wife, because this is his only hope to escape his fate. If not If they help him, he will probably be rooted in the mud for the rest of his life, and it will be difficult for him to get ahead.

Although Pei Yunqian is young, he is very well-educated. Even in his common clothes, he still cannot conceal his noble demeanor. After getting along with him all the way, the Zhao brothers all liked this little cousin who was in trouble. After a few days of traveling and they returned to Prince Yong's Mansion, Pei Yunqian and the Zhao brothers had become friends and talked about everything. friend.

When they arrived at the palace, several people got off their horses. The Zhao brothers took Pei Yunqian into the palace. As soon as they entered the second door, they saw a little girl wearing a red skirt and combed hair, being surrounded by maids and walking towards them. Come.

The little girl is only four or five years old. She looks like a porcelain doll. She is so cute that people fall in love with her when they see her.

When brother Zhao Xuan saw his younger sister, a bright smile appeared on his face. The two brothers squatted down and waved: "Pingyang, come to my brother quickly."

The little girl held up her little skirt and ran towards her brothers with small steps. She threw herself into his arms, but her **** eyes looked at the young boys beside her two brothers. There was a hint of laughter in her eyes. With brilliant brilliance, he pointed his little finger at Pei Yunqian and asked, "Where does this brother come from? He is so beautiful."
