Rebirth of the High Gate Mistress

Chapter 585 Jealous

 Children like to be close to people who can play with them. Sister Mei is young, and after hearing what Sister Qing said, tears welled up in her eyes.

Pingyang comforted Sister Mei and said, "Sister is teasing you, don't take it seriously."

With that said, she said to Sister Qing: "Bring the letter here, let me have a look."

Sister Qing was surprised: "Mother, this is a letter from my cousin. How can you open it privately?"

Pingyang glared at his daughter: "Your uncle is killing the enemy on the front line. I'm worried about him. I want to see what he says in the letter. You child, be obedient and show me the letter quickly. I can give it to your uncle tomorrow." Auntie, please go and report that you are safe."

 Sister Qing then took out the letter and handed it to Pingyang.

Pingyang was about to open the letter to read it when Li Xiang glanced at his wife and said in a deep voice, "I'm going out for a walk."

Speaking, he left the house with a gloomy face without looking back.

Sister Wan looked at her father's leaving figure and timidly asked Pingyang, "Mother, it seems that Daddy is unhappy."

Sister Qing sneered: "No one of us provokes him, hey! What's there to be angry about?"

Pingyang glared at his daughter: "Don't talk about your father like that."

Li Xiang did not return until midnight. Pingyang did not sleep and was waiting for him outside.

As soon as Li Xiang entered the house and saw his wife waiting, most of the depression in his heart disappeared, but he still had a cold face and simply said: "It's so late, why don't you sleep?"

Pingyang smiled faintly and asked: "It's so late, why did you come back?"

Li Xiang took off his shirt and sat down on the chair. He poured a cup of hot tea and drank it to hide the embarrassment on his face: "The room is stuffy. I went out to get some fresh air. The moon is beautiful tonight, so I took a look. I forgot the time.”

Now is the time when spring is getting colder. Pingyang glanced at Li Xiang's pale face from the cold and did not criticize it. He just walked to his side and placed the letter brought by Sister Qing in front of Li Xiang: "Read it for yourself. Brother just wanted to assure us that we are safe. He must have been afraid that you would misunderstand, so he wrote to Sister Qing."

Li Xiang glanced at the letter subconsciously, but pushed it aside and said harshly: "It's just a letter, I'm not that stingy."

Pingyang picked up the letter and shook it in front of Li Xiang's eyes. He half-smiled and said, "I advise you to read it. Otherwise, if you don't feel at ease, you may not be able to sleep well that night."

Li Xiang sneered: "You underestimate me too much. In your eyes, I am so petty." As he said that, he still couldn't help but glance at the letter, but still said stubbornly: "If you don't read it, just say dont see."

 “Whether you like it or not, it’s up to you.”

Pingyang was too lazy to coax him anymore, so he went into the inner room to prepare for bed. Li Xiang followed in, grabbed his wife, and asked, "Are you angry?"

Pingyang sneered: "You are obviously the one who is angry."

Li Xiang was silent for a while, and then he said calmly: "To be honest, I do have some opinions about my cousin from the Pei family."

He looked at his wife: "When he protects you like this, he obviously has his own thoughts. I am a man, how can I not see it?"

Pingyang sighed slightly and replied: "Cousin, he has been growing up in my family since he was a child. He is an upright gentleman. It's you who thinks too much."

"Go to sleep. I have to get up early tomorrow. After finishing my work at home, I have to go to my brother and sister-in-law to tell them that they are safe."

With that said, Pingyang went to bed and lay down.

Li Xiang also quickly went to bed, but he tossed and turned and couldn't fall asleep for a while. Pingyang was about to fall asleep, and Li Xiang's soft call sounded in his ears: "Pingyang, are you asleep?"

Pingyang closed his eyes and said vaguely: "It's almost over."

Just when she was about to get confused, Li Xiang said again: "The Cold Food Festival will be in a few days, and there will be a temple fair. I want to take you and the children to see it."

Pingyang was confused, and was disturbed by Li Xiang. She turned around and muttered: "It's just a temple fair. It's crowded. If there's anything to see, I won't go." Seeing his wife's refusal, Li Xiang came over to stab her. He whispered to her: "It's fun when there are many people. Didn't you love the fun most in the past? There are also children who also want to be lively. Let's go together."

 Seeing that Pingyang didn't express his position, he shook her again: "Is it okay?"

He asked again: "Let's go?"

Pingyang was impatient by the noise and said perfunctorily: "Let's talk, I'm sleepy and want to sleep."

Li Xiangyou was not willing to accept it. He simply stood up and said in Pingyang's ear: "The temple fair will be in three days. Can I ask for leave in advance?"

Pingyang was so sleepy that his eyelids were fighting. Seeing that Li Xiang was possessed by childishness again, he said perfunctorily: "Then go, don't talk anymore, I'm really sleepy."

Li Xiang gave up when he saw his wife agreed. He lay back on the pillow and suddenly felt sleepy. As soon as he closed his eyes, he fell asleep.

 Because I went to bed late, I couldn’t get up early on the second day of Pingyang.

When she got up, Li Xiang had already gone to work. While Pingyang was being washed by Yuzhu, he couldn't help complaining: "It's all his fault for nagging me last night, which kept me from getting up early in the morning. I planned to finish cooking." For family matters, we go to my brother and sister-in-law."

Yuzhu glanced at Pingyang's coquettish look and replied with a smile: "If Madam wants to go back to her parents' home, just go back. There hasn't been any major events at home recently, it's just a bit trivial, and there are still those stewards."

Pingyang’s eyes moved: “Then I’ll reply?”

Yuzhu affirmed: "You can go back if you want. The prince and his concubine will go back to Yizhou in a while. If you want to go back, it won't be as convenient as now."

When Yuzhu said this, Pingyang immediately made up his mind: "Then I'll go back as soon as I finish packing. Go and ask them to prepare a car for me, and then order Lantian to pack some good bird's nests for me. My sister-in-law is now a month old. Give it to her to replenish her health."

Yuzhu readily agreed. After everything was packed, Pingyang boarded the carriage and went straight to the palace.

Pingyang wants to be in charge of the family, so she doesn't always have time to return to her parents' home. She hasn't seen Mrs. Xie for more than ten days, and she was suddenly shocked: "Why does my sister-in-law look so good recently? But has she got any good tonic?"

　When a person is in a good mood, it will show on his face.

Xie Shi smiled brightly: "There are no tonics anywhere, but I recently got a wonderful person, which is better than any medicine."

Pingyang was confused: "Who is it?"

Mrs. Xie then told Pingyang everything about Yu Cheng giving her Taoyao. Pingyang was stunned for a while, but Mrs. Xie was proud: "Then Mrs. Meng doesn't want to trouble me anymore. I This makes me feel comfortable, and the fetus will naturally be well-raised."

Pingyang glared at Mr. Xie and said, "I have never seen someone like you take the initiative to beautify your husband. Aren't you afraid that my eldest brother is fascinated by that Tao Yao and can't take it back from now on?"

Xie didn't care: "His heart was never all about me anyway."

  Pingyang was blocked and had nothing to say.

Xie continued: "I am comfortable with myself and raising my children well. This is the real thing. I don't take those illusory things too seriously."

 Pingyang and Mr. Xie are people of different temperaments. A person like Pingyang, who is as affectionate and sincere as he is, would never be able to understand Mr. Xie.

Pingyang changed the subject and talked about yesterday's letter from Pei Yunqian. Xie was naturally happy to know that Pei Yunqian was safe.

The two sisters-in-law were talking here. They called the mother-in-law to come in and hurriedly replied: "Madam, there is someone from Concubine Meng Concubine reporting urgently, saying that Concubine Meng Concubine has seen something red."

Pingyang was shocked, but Xie remained calm and said: "Quickly send her a doctor, and then go and report to the Crown Prince."

The mother-in-law replied: "Your Majesty, he just took Aunt Tao out of the city to hunt. Where can I find anyone?"
