Rebirth of the High Gate Mistress

Chapter 252 Jing Shu fainted

Li Xiang and Pingyang came out of Anxi Hall and went to the Princess Mansion to meet Princess Fuxi.

The two of them returned to Xianglinyuan. Li Xiang asked Pingyang thoughtfully: "Are you tired, cousin? If you are, I will order someone to go to my mother and let her know. We will go there later."

They have just gotten married and have spent less than two days together. Although Pingyang is still a little unfamiliar with this husband, because he is the one she likes, and she sees that he is considerate and caring in every way, she feels indescribable submissiveness in her heart.

Pingyang looked up at Li Xiang and smiled slightly, with two shallow dimples on his round face: "I'm not that delicate. Let me change my clothes and go see my mother with my husband."

Li Xiang stood in the yard and nodded slightly towards Pingyang.

Pingyang took two steps and saw that Li Xiang was still standing there. She asked doubtfully: "Why don't you, husband, go in?"

Li Xiang smiled and replied: "After sitting at my grandmother's place for a while, I want to take a breath outside. You can go in and change clothes. I will wait for you here."

 “That’s fine.” After saying that, Pingyang slowly entered the house with his personal maid.

  Rich and noble families have many rules, and the bride has different rules for dressing when meeting different people.

The maid Yuzhu took out the new clothes that had been prepared for Pingyang to meet the princess's mother-in-law. While she was serving Pingyang to dress, she couldn't help but said distressedly: "The princess was tired all day yesterday, and she got up early this morning to visit her again. Elder brothers in the mansion, now you have to leave the mansion again, how can you not be tired?"

Pingyang smiled and said: "Which bride didn't come here like this? Others can bear it, why can't I stand it?"

Yuzhu felt sorry for the princess's hard work, so she couldn't help complaining in a low voice: "Other people have met all the people who want to see them together in the morning, so there is no need to leave the house."

"Don't say this again in the future!" Pingyang immediately said with a serious face after hearing Yuzhu's words.

Yuzhu knew she had made a mistake. She glanced at Pingyang's gloomy face and said quickly: "This slave was reckless for a moment. Please forgive me, Princess."

Pingyang stretched his neck and glanced at Li Xiang in the courtyard. He turned to warn Yuzhu and said, "My husband is a thoughtful person. If he hears this, he will inevitably think more about it. Don't mention this in the future."

Yuzhu promised repeatedly: "I have taken note of this, and I will tell them to the little girls later."

Pingyang nodded, and when she was fully dressed and left the main room, she saw Li Xiang standing in a daze in the yard. Pingyang had the sweet and happy smile of a newlywed woman on her face. She walked slowly to him and said softly: "Husband, look at these few people." What is the plum tree thinking?"

Li Xiang was lost in thought, but he didn't notice Pingyang walking over. He quickly recovered his mind, turned around awkwardly and replied with a smile: "No, I didn't think about anything."

The two of them had just gotten married and didn't know each other very well. They didn't have much to say. In order to ease the embarrassment, Pingyang also looked at the plum trees and deliberately asked Li Xiang, "Does your husband also like plum trees?"

Li Xiang turned his head slightly and whispered back: "I like it."

Pingyang didn't notice anything strange about Li Xiang. She looked at Li Xiang and said with a smile: "What a coincidence. I also like plum blossoms the most. Just because I like them, my father ordered someone to plant one in the yard behind my palace." There are large plum trees, and when the plum blossoms are in full bloom, the house is filled with the fragrance of plum blossoms even without opening the windows.”

She raised her head and looked at Li Xiang, and said with a shy face: "I never thought of it. There are also plum trees in the yard."

 Li Xiang looked back at Pingyang, with a smile on his gentle and elegant face, and replied gently: "As long as my cousin likes it, it's getting late, let's set off for my mother's house."

Pingyang nodded with a smile and walked side by side with Li Xiang out of Xianglin Garden.

The driver had already prepared the carriage and horses. Li Xiang naturally stretched out his hand towards Pingyang. Pingyang was a little cautious. The moment she put her hand in Li Xiang's, her heart was racing like a rabbit.

After Pingyang got into the car, Li Xiang was just about to follow him when he saw Li Ling and Jing Shu heading this way from a distance. Li Xiang stood under the car. When the two of them approached, he asked, "Second brother is off from bathing today, but do you want to take your sister-in-law out?"

Li Ling replied: "It's rare that I have free time today. We are planning to go out for a walk."

Li Xiang nodded toward his brother, then looked at Jingshu and said, "Second sister-in-law, you have worked hard to arrange my marriage these days."

Jingshu smiled and said, "My third brother has become more sensible now that he is married. He has also learned to be polite to me."

Pingyang, who was sitting in the car, heard Jingshu's voice. She opened the car window, smiled and greeted Jingshu and said, "I have really troubled my second sister-in-law these days."

Jingshu smiled and replied, "Isn't that what it should be?" After that, she looked at Li Xiang and said, "It's getting late. Go to your mother's place quickly. Don't keep her waiting."

Li Xiang said goodbye to his brother and sister-in-law, and followed him into the car with a long stride. After seeing off Li Xiang and his wife, Li Ling took Jing Shu out in a carriage.

Li Ling glanced at his wife's little face, which was a little haggard from exhaustion these days, held her in his arms distressedly, and murmured: "Fortunately, I don't have many brothers at home, otherwise I would have exhausted you."

Jingshu leaned in Li Ling's arms and replied: "This little hard work is nothing. I feel so relieved to see that my third brother and his wife are so harmonious."

Li Ling was amused by his wife's words, looked at her and said, "At such a young age, you speak and behave like a woman who has been a wife of a clan for decades."

Upon hearing this, Jingshu immediately broke away from Li Ling and stood up. She rolled her eyes at him and said angrily, "I just turned ten, how can I be as old as you said?"

Li Ling saw his young wife's round, almond-shaped eyes and fierce look, and immediately added: "I just said that she has a similar demeanor."

Jingshu glared at him, turned away, only opened the curtain to look at the scenery on the street, and ignored him.

Li Ling couldn't help but feel his heart fluttering when he looked at his young wife's coquettish appearance.

Jingshu was lying on the car window looking attentively, but Li Ling reached out to close the window. Jingshu turned her head and looked at Li Ling doubtfully, but the more she looked at him, the more she felt something was wrong.

 “This is in the car, you.”

Before Jingshu finished speaking, Li Ling followed him. Because he was worried about being outside, Jingshu didn't dare to say anything, so she just let him do whatever he wanted in the car.

Afterwards, Jingshu leaned softly in Li Ling's arms and said angrily to him: "You also said you wanted to go shopping with me, how can you go out now?"

Li Ling, however, still had some unfinished thoughts. He leaned over and kissed his wife on the forehead, comforting him: "Don't worry, you can't tell."

Jingshu felt sore all over. She got up from Li Ling, straightened her clothes, and took out a small mirror to check her makeup.

Jingshu glanced at her makeup through the bronze mirror, and saw that the hairpin on her temples kept shaking, getting faster and faster, which dazzled her.

"How is this going?"

As soon as she said the words, she fainted.
