Rebirth of the High Gate Mistress

Chapter 572 Looking for someone

 Two days later, the lord of Yucheng County came to the palace.

When the old friends met, they exclaimed to each other for a while: "I heard that you have five children." Then he glanced at Mr. Xie's slightly bulging belly and said with envy: "You were a shrewd person when you were in the boudoir. Now that you are married, Still so capable.”

Xie Shi smiled and replied: "There is nothing I can do about it. There are so many children and it is very tiring."

The two exchanged pleasantries, and then Mrs. Xie went straight to the topic and said to Yu Cheng: "I am now very heavy and I only brought one concubine from Yizhou. I am also pregnant now. I haven't returned to Beijing for several years. I’m not familiar with him anymore, so I asked you to come here this time just to ask you to help me find a good man.”

Yu Cheng's husband is lustful. In order to prevent concubines from various origins from threatening his status, Yu Cheng has been sparing no effort to cultivate beauties over the years and then keep them by his husband's side.

 Although his own people are favored, at least they have no other scandals.

When Xie said this, Yu Cheng understood. She asked, "I have a few that I haven't used yet, and they are all being trained in the other gardens. What kind of ones do you want?"

Xie and Yu Cheng were friends when they were in the boudoir. She did not say what kind of relationship she wanted. She only said: "I mentioned in my letter to you before that my husband had a childhood sweetheart, but I never agreed. She is pregnant, and now she is pregnant by some strange combination of circumstances, the one we brought to the capital. This woman was not something to be afraid of originally, but I am pregnant now and don’t want to worry too much about these things."

Yu Cheng is also a shrewd person. As soon as she heard this, she understood and just said: "Don't worry, I will ask them to send someone tomorrow and I will keep it to your satisfaction."

Sure enough, as soon as Mr. Xie had breakfast the next day, Yu Cheng ordered the person in charge of the mansion to send someone over.

The girl followed the maid inside. Xie raised her eyes and took a breath of cold air.

The peach cheeks are thin waist, and the eyes contain spring water. It is a natural stunner.

People are also very well-behaved. When they see Mrs. Xie, they kneel down respectfully and salute.

Xie asked her to stand up and asked, "What's your name?"

The girl replied: "When the county master took in his concubine, he named her Taoyao."

Recipe, Shining.

Xie smiled and said, "It's a good name."

He asked again: "Yucheng gave you to me, are you willing?"

Tao Yao replied: "The county master has made it clear to me that I am willing to follow my wife."

　　　Mr. Xie never hires people for free. She asked: "What do you want?"

Tao Yao replied: "My greatest wish is that one day I can break my humble status and be free."

The requirements are not low, but Ms. Xie likes people with such clear minds. She said: "This would be difficult in Beijing, but when you come back to Yizhou with me, I will naturally have a way to help you achieve what you want."

Tao Yao thanked Mr. Xie and said, "I am willing to do my best for my wife."

 We are all sensible people and everyone takes what they need.

After the agreement was reached, Mrs. Xie ordered people to take Tao Yao down and put her there.

On this day, Zhao Xuan went to Xie's side to have dinner. The couple sat down opposite each other. Zhao Xuan was just about to talk to his wife about the withdrawal of the vassal state. When he raised his eyes and saw the maid standing behind his wife, he was stunned.

Not to mention the man, even Xie was amazed when she saw Tao Yao for the first time.

Ms. Xie glanced at her husband. She sneered in her heart but didn't show it on her face. She just asked, "What do you want to tell me?" Zhao Xuan quickly looked away, calmed down and replied, "It's still related to what I heard. It’s about withdrawing the vassal state.” While he was talking to his wife, he still couldn’t help looking at Taoyao from the corner of his eye: “I heard that King Li of Southern Xinjiang accepted the imperial edict but refused to carry it out. Ahem, this is blatant. Disobeying the Holy Order."

Xie said: "Southern Xinjiang is adjacent to the Gaoshan Kingdom. Maybe King Li has something to rely on."

Zhao Xuan put down the jade chopsticks and lowered his voice in surprise: "You mean, King Li has colluded with the enemy country?"

Xie said lightly: "I am also guessing, otherwise how could he have the courage to resist the order?"

Zhao Xuan sighed and murmured: "I'm afraid the emperor can't spare him." After saying that, he looked at his wife again and asked, "What do you think?"

Xie nodded and replied: "These are none of our business. It's just that it's the end of the New Year. If the emperor wants to raise troops, it will have to be after the New Year."

As she spoke, she stroked her slightly bulging belly: "I will be three months old after the new year, and the fetus is stable. When spring gets warmer, we will go back to Yizhou as soon as possible. During this extraordinary period, we will not be in Beijing." It’s better to be cautious when staying.”

“Yes, yes.” Zhao Xuan picked up a chopstick for his wife: “I think so too.”

As soon as they finished eating, Meng ordered someone to invite Zhao Xuan again, saying that he had a stomachache.

Xie was never at ease with Meng's methods. Today, she was even more anxious to urge Zhao Xuan: "Hurry over and don't let her bother you by asking for help."

 Normally, Zhao Xuan would be in a hurry to go, but today he delayed, insisting on drinking tea with Mr. Xie before leaving.

Xie smiled secretly in her heart and said nothing more. She just asked Taoyao to make tea.

While Zhao Xuan was drinking tea, he was greeted twice more across the courtyard before he reluctantly got up. When he was about to go out, he couldn't help but look back and glance at Taoyao who was standing beside his wife.

After everyone left, only Xie and Amu were left in the room. Amu sighed: "There are no men who don't love beauty."

Xie sneered: "I don't know if there is one, I've never encountered it."

 Amu asked: "When does the madam plan to give that woman to your son?"

Xie put down the tea cup and said calmly: "Let's whet his appetite for two days before we talk." Then she snorted coldly: "Then Meng can break up the differences, can't I?"

Meng Shi was sulking in the room as Xie Shi was talking about him. She was happy when she saw Zhao Xuan finally coming over, but she deliberately turned her head away and refused to pay attention.

If it was normal, Zhao Xuanda would have stepped forward to coax him, but today he was sitting by himself, looking thoughtful.

When Meng saw that Zhao Xuan was acting abnormally, she felt puzzled and couldn't be more pretentious, so she turned her head and asked Zhao Xuan, "What's wrong with you?"

Zhao Xuan quickly collected his thoughts and replied: "It's nothing, I'm just a little tired."

With that said, he called the maid in to help her change clothes and wash herself. After everything was done, he went to bed.

Seeing his lack of interest, Meng thought he had encountered something unpleasant outside, but she didn't take it seriously, so she followed him to bed.

When the lights were turned off and the room fell into darkness, Zhao Xuan opened his eyes, and what came to his mind was still the beautiful little girl standing next to his wife.

He simply turned over and lay on his side with his back to Meng. Zhao Xuan secretly let out a breath and forced himself not to think about random things. However, he suppressed it, and the little woman continued to get into his mind uncontrollably. .
