Rebirth of the High Gate Mistress

Mr. Meng left the main room and went to her yard without waiting for Zhao Xuan.

Zhao Xuan glanced at her angry look, hurried to catch up with her, and asked, "What's wrong with you?"

Seeing that she was hurriedly walking forward without paying attention, Zhao Xuan grabbed her arm, forced Meng to stop, and asked hurriedly: "What's wrong with you? Why are you so angry again?"

Mengshi pushed Zhao Xuan away and replied angrily: "Why do you ask even though you already know?"

“You insist on me coming to greet her, do you deliberately want to provoke me, don’t you?”

"How could you say that?" Zhao Xuan glanced around and lowered his voice: "She is the wife and you are the concubine. Although you are not in Yizhou now, you always lose your temper and don't go to say hello. What do you want me to do?" Do?"

 “If there is a quarrel, you will always be the one who suffers.”

 He slowed down his tone and said meaningfully: "Ayu, I am doing this for your own good."

"I don't need you to be good for me." Meng broke away from Zhao Xuan and replied sternly: "Don't use such words to coax me in the future. If you were really doing it for my own good, you should have found a way to let me do it." She has her own flesh and blood by her side, instead of letting me watch her heartbroken over having children for you one after another."

"She already has so many children, and I don't even have one of my own. It's so unfair to me."

As she spoke, Meng's tears welled up and fell on her face drop by drop. They were blown away by the howling north wind, leaving only a cold patch.

Zhao Xuan let out a long sigh: "Why don't I want to have a child for both of us? Ayu, you have to understand me. I can't help it."

Meng glanced at Zhao Xuan with tearful eyes, wiped away her tears, left him, and left.

Just as Zhao Xuan was about to chase after him, a young boy came over and said, "Master, Mr. Pei Biao has arrived and is waiting for you in the front hall."

When Zhao Xuan heard this, he stopped chasing after him, and then ordered the Meng family's maid who looked frightened at the side: "Go back and keep an eye on the concubine. If anything happens to her again, you won't be able to get away with it. I understand." ?"

The little girl nodded repeatedly and said hurriedly: "The Imperial Concubine has already given instructions, and the servants dare not not take her into consideration. Please rest assured, Imperial Concubine."

Zhao Xuan nodded, and then growled: "Why are you still standing there? Why don't you catch up with the concubine? It's easy to look at her."

The little girl was saved. She nodded and agreed, "I'll go right now, my slave." After saying that, she turned around and chased after Meng.

Zhao Xuan sighed helplessly, turned back, and strode towards the main hall.

After Meng left, Xie gently stroked her belly with one hand and poked Pingyang with the other, saying, "Look at how embarrassed she looked when she saw me just now. I'm afraid my pregnancy has stimulated her quite a bit."

No matter how capable Xie is, she is still a woman.

 When facing a love rival, it is inevitable that one's petty side will show up.

Pingyang poured a bowl of hot date tea for her and said angrily: "You are getting pregnant one after another, are you just trying to make her angry?"

Ms.

She took a sip of the jujube tea handed over by Pingyang, and then said: "To be honest, I already have five children, and I didn't plan to have any more, but the anti-child medicine is also harmful to the body. I'm hesitating." She stroked her belly and said, "No, before I can make up my mind, this pregnancy has come again."

 “This is God’s will.”

Pingyang covered his mouth and smiled, joking: "Your land is really fertile and highly productive."

Ms. Xie smiled and replied: "It's strange to say that every time I got pregnant, I always looked forward to giving birth to a boy. It's not that I looked down on women, but I just felt that the more sons I had, the more stable my status would be, and women would be too constrained." If you have more children, you are not as comfortable as a man." As she spoke, she showed a look of kindness on her face and stroked her belly: "But I have no such idea about this baby. I always feel that boys and girls are both good, and for this The child’s feelings are not quite the same as those of the previous ones.”

Pingyang replied: "When you come to Beijing this time, I see that your relationship with your eldest brother is different from before. This should be the reason for your change in this child."

After hearing what Pingyang said, Mrs.

After thinking about it carefully, Mr.

“Especially after he accompanied me back to the Marquis’ Mansion that time, something was a little different.”

As she spoke, she raised her eyes and looked at Pingyang: "Do you think I shocked your eldest brother that day when I behaved violently in the Marquis Mansion?"

Pingyang smiled and said: "It's not like my eldest brother has never seen how powerful you are over the years, how can he be shocked this time?"

 “You are right.”

Mr. Xie kept thinking to herself for a while.

 There has indeed been a big change in how her husband treats her. How can this be okay?

Mrs. Xie couldn't think of a reason for a while, so she simply put the matter aside and said to Pingyang: "Today, your eldest brother invited a cousin of the Pei family to come to the house. Let's have a reunion dinner together in the evening. My sister-in-law is on duty today." Really? If he is at home, I will order someone to invite him over."

Pingyang replied: "You are pregnant with your son again. It is indeed worthy of congratulations. My husband is on duty in the palace today. I don't know when he will return. It's better not to call him."

Mrs. Xie agreed: "Yesterday, I bought a lot of beef, mutton, venison, etc. for the kitchen. I'll let them make a pot later. It's the best way to keep warm in this weather."

 Mentioning this, Pingyang said: "It's fine to eat from the pot, but don't make mutton. Cousin Pei doesn't eat mutton."

After Pingyang's reminder, Xie suddenly said: "Oh my, cousin Pei has been away from the palace for a long time, I actually forgot about this."

"Thank you for remembering it." As she said this, she ordered the little girl beside her: "Go to the kitchen now and ask them to make a pot and cut up pork, venison, fish and shrimp. No need for beef or mutton. , prepare more, and get some of our Yizhou flavored side dishes."

The little girl followed the order and left. Mrs. Xie turned to Pingyang and said: "I brought the two cooks in this kitchen from Yizhou. You have been away from home for more than half a year. Please try our Yizhou food later." vegetable."

Pingyang smiled and said, "I'm really greedy for this. When I got married, you and your mother brought me cooks, and I put them in the small kitchen in my yard. But my husband really doesn't like Yizhou's food. It turns out that he doesn't even want to eat. I just made two portions, but over time I found it troublesome, so I ordered them to only cook Beijing dishes. Now the cooks’ hometown skills have long been unfamiliar. Even if I am greedy and let them cook it once in a while, the taste is no longer the same as before. .”

“Although Beijing cuisine is good, I still prefer the cuisine from our hometown. Even my cousin Pei, who was born and raised in Beijing, said that the cuisine in Beijing is not as popular as that in Yizhou.”
