Rebirth of the High Gate Mistress

Chapter 502 Let’s all take care

Early in the morning of the second day, the sky was clear, and Pingyang's eldest brother Zhao Xuan came to the posthouse in person to take the couple back home.

Li Xiang was seriously ill, so Pingyang wrapped him in thick clothes and helped him out of the house.

Zhao Xuan and Pei Yunqian were standing in the corridor talking. When he saw his wife coming out, Zhao Xuan came up to him and said, "I was shocked when I heard the letter from cousin Pei." As he said that, he looked at the frail Li Xiang and couldn't help it. Zhu complained: "This section of the river is very fast, how could my sister-in-law be so reckless?"

Li Xiang slightly cupped his fists at Zhao Xuan as a greeting, and replied: "I also met Pingyang, and I felt anxious, so I coughed."

His voice was still hoarse, and before he could say a few words, he started coughing violently again.

Zhao Xuan hurriedly said: "Don't say anything anymore, I will take you back to the house, and I will go back after you are well."

It’s a long way to get to the middle of Beijing. Li Xiang is so ill that he can’t make the journey anymore. Pingyang said to Zhao Xuan, “Thank you, big brother.”

Zhao Xuan replied: "You kid, what's the point of being polite to my elder brother?" After saying that, Zhao Xuan ordered his servants: "Pack up and set off now."

Li Xiang looked at Pei Yunqian standing aside and said, "Thank you!"

Pei Yunqian glanced at him, said nothing, and just waved his hand.

Pingyang stepped forward and asked Pei Yunqian, "When does my cousin plan to leave for Beijing?"

Pei Yunqian replied: "I will leave after the bridge deck is repaired in the second half of today."

Pingyang sighed slightly, then looked up at Pei Yunqian and said: "It's bitterly cold in northern Xinjiang, cousin, please take care of yourself."

Pei Yunqian smiled and replied, "You are the one who should take care of me."

Pingyang also smiled and said, "We all need to take care."

When they returned to Prince Yong's Mansion, not only the brothers and sisters-in-law from Pingyang, but also Princess Lan and Prince Yong personally welcomed him out.

 How could everyone not be shocked when they heard that their son-in-law had done something wrong just to see his family in Pingyang?

It's not that the Zhao family was moved by their son-in-law's madness, but they were afraid. This Li Xiang was the younger brother who was protected by the saint from bottom to top. If he was washed away by the water in front of their Prince Yong's Mansion, there would really be no way to show his respect to the saint. Explain.

Since Li Xiang married Pingyang, this was the first time he visited the door of his father-in-law's house in these years. He was wrapped in thick clothes and looked weak and helped out of the carriage by Pingyang. Prince Yong's family swarmed up to him. It was like a star holding the moon. This baby son-in-law who almost scared people to death welcomed him into the house.

Princess Yongqin personally took care of the arrangements for her daughter and son-in-law, and specially invited famous doctors to diagnose and treat Li Xiang.

Li Xiang has been pampered since he was a child. Although he is a military general, except for being a soldier in the military camp for two years when Li Ling was a boy, he has never suffered much. This time, he suddenly suffered such a thing in the river and couldn't bear it. Although he was not seriously ill, he was still very ill. When he arrived at Prince Yong's Mansion, he had to take care of him all day long.

　After five or six days of nursing, it finally stabilized. I no longer had high fever at night, and I had the strength to walk during the day.

On this day, Pingyang's sister-in-law Xie came to visit the couple in their courtyard. Xie's mother was also a princess and was a sister to Li Xiang's mother, Princess Fuxi. Xie and Li Xiang were aunts and sisters, so Xie She had seen this cousin before she got married, and the two of them were familiar with each other. Li Xiang was walking on the ground when Mrs. Xie entered the house. When Mrs. Xie saw him, she smiled and said, "Ah! My cousin recovered very quickly."

Li Xiang smiled and said, "My cousin is already a mother of five children, but she still loves to tease people."

Mr. Xie said again: "Hey, my cousin's voice has improved too? He doesn't speak like a broken gong anymore."

Li Xiang looked shy and quickly closed his mouth, only smiling without saying a word.

Pingyang helped Li Xiang back to bed and said to Mr. Xie with a smile: "My husband is finally getting better, so my sister-in-law came to comfort him. If he makes someone sick again, I will go to my elder brother to complain."

Xie gave Pingyang an angry look and replied: "This is really a married daughter, and she is looking for someone else."

"Sister-in-law, are you jealous?" Pingyang came over to hold Mrs. Xie and said warmly: "I asked them to kill the cantaloupe in the well this morning. Let's go. It's hot right now, so taking it out and eating it is good for relieving the fever. "

The two sisters came out of the house and sat down in the waterside pavilion in the yard. After a while, the girls brought ice melons, and the two sisters ate the melons. Pingyang saw that Mrs. Xie looked at her in a wrong way and asked with a smile: "Why do you think my sister-in-law looks at me like this? But do you have something to say?"

Mr. Xie nodded and replied: "I have wanted to ask you for a long time, but my uncle was very ill a few days ago. I saw that you were very worried, so I kept holding back and did not ask."

As she said that, she put down the melon in her hand, looked at Pingyang and said, "What happened to you and my uncle?"

Hearing this, Pingyang was startled for a moment, and then smiled: "We have nothing, we have been married for so many years, and our lives are very peaceful." Seeing Mr. Xie's expression of confusion, Pingyang asked again: "Did my sister-in-law be jumped into the river by her husband?" I was shocked by his behavior, oh! He is just a child with a temper, I am used to it, you must not take it to heart."

Mr. Xie replied: "My uncle and I are cousins, so naturally I know a little about him. Although he has had the simplest temper since he was a child, he is not a brainless person. He jumped into the river just to see you. What's going on here?" There must be something wrong."

When Pingyang remained silent, Ms. I see that although you take good care of him, you always look uneasy, Pingyang, my sister-in-law is someone who has been here before, and the estrangement between you cannot be hidden from me."

Pingyang was silent for a while, then she sighed slightly and replied: "How can a husband and wife be so smooth? There are inevitably some misunderstandings between my husband and I. Sister-in-law, please don't ask."

When Mrs. Xie saw that Pingyang refused to say anything, she couldn't ask any more questions. She just sighed: "You are right. There are very few couples who have a smooth relationship. Anyway, I have never seen it. Although my father did not leave the court before I left the court, The master was not allowed to take concubines, but he had secretly raised a concubine when he was young. After my mother found out, there was a quarrel for many years. My aunt Fuxi and my uncle were so loving in the past, but later they also had many misunderstandings and wasted time. We didn't get back together until our daughter was an adult."

"Whenever I encounter difficulties after I get married, I think that this royal princess is the most noble daughter in the world. After I get married, it will be nothing more than that. I don't have to force myself too much. Haha, I think so. With this, my mind can be more open after all.”

 After hearing what Xie said, Pingyang suddenly thought of Jingshu.

That woman whose background was far inferior to them lived better than anyone else.

She smiled bitterly and murmured: "Maybe we haven't met a good man yet, just like the current Queen. I have been with her for many years, and I have never seen her have such troubles as us."

Cousin Pei: I’m just leaving temporarily and will come back
