Rebirth of the High Gate Mistress

Chapter 576 Like silently

 The next day, Pingyang and Xu Wanning came to the palace.

Jingshu appeared to be in good health, her face was radiant, and her energy levels were basically back to before.

After the three sisters-in-law talked about Li Kun marrying the daughter of the Liu family in the new year, Pingyang told Jingshu about the incident where Sister Mei was kicked in the face yesterday, and asked Jingshu if she could allow the doctor Zhang to give Sister Mei Take a look.

Jingshu replied that when the miracle doctor came to diagnose her pulse in two days, she asked Pingyang to bring Sister Mei into the palace and let the miracle doctor take a look.

 It wasn't a big deal at all. As soon as it was settled, a few people got over it and talked about other things.

 At noon, when Pingyang went to the study to see Sister Qing, Xu Wanning returned to talking about Pingyang's worries about Sister Mei.

"After all these years, she has no prejudice against that child at all."

Jingshu said: "Pingyang is a pure-hearted person. What's rare is that her original intention has never changed."

Xu Wanning said quickly: "Pingyang is really rare. If it were me, I wouldn't be able to do what she does."

"Although the child is innocent, the third brother treated her like that at first. After Aunt Xing's death, Pingyang can still treat her child kindly. Alas! Such a character is not something ordinary women can achieve."

Mentioning this, Jingshu asked: "How does the third brother treat Pingyang now?"

Xu Wanning smiled and said: "How can she treat Pingyang badly? Pingyang is so kind, but many people keep it in their hearts."

As soon as Xu Wanning spoke, she realized her gaffe. She glanced at Jing Shu's surprised expression, sighed slightly, and added, "I was just talking nonsense."

If it were someone else, Jing Shu would definitely not care too much, but when it was about Pingyang and Li Xiang, Jing Shu had to ask more questions.

“What’s going on? But what happened to the third brother and Pingyang?”

Xu Wanning saw that she couldn't hide it from Jing Shu, so she told Jing Shu everything about the blind date between Pei Yunqian and her cousin a few days ago.

"My cousin is the most understanding person. When I heard my fifth sister-in-law say that she didn't agree with this marriage, I thought, Mr. Pei is such a good person. I don't believe that my cousin will look down on him. Later I went to ask her in person."

Xu Wanning sighed slightly: "Although she didn't say it clearly, I understood the meaning behind her words."

Jingshu couldn't help but ask: "What's going on?"

Xu Wanning said: "Mr. Pei already has someone in mind."

Jing Shu frowned: "What does this have to do with Third Brother and Ping Yang?"

Xu Wanning subconsciously glanced at the door of the palace and whispered: "When my cousin said this politely, I suddenly thought of Pingyang."

“Somehow, I feel that the person in Mr. Pei’s heart is Pingyang.”

Jingshu said in disbelief: "No way, Pei Yunqian grew up in the prince's palace since he was a child, and he and Pingyang are just brother and sister."

Xu Wanning said: "I am also thinking wildly, but seeing that the third brother looks unhappy every time he sees Mr. Pei, it makes people think too much."

 Pingyang and Pei Yunqian, who were being talked to by Xu Wanning and Jing Shu, happened to meet again in the palace.

In order to make it easier for his children to study, Li Ling set up his study room in the Qinzheng Hall, which is next to his office.

During the noon break, Pingyang and his daughter Sister Qing were walking and chatting outside the palace. Sister Qing had been feeling depressed because of the incident where the deer's hooves hit Sister Mei.

Pingyang comforted her daughter and said: "This is just an accident. Your father didn't mean to blame you. Don't think too much about it." Sister Qing said with a dull face: "Although my father didn't say anything in front of me, he hit people. The guy who scolded the dog got angry at the servant, wife and boy, just to show me, he is a good-tempered master recognized by the whole house."

Pingyang advised: "Sister Mei was injured like that, your father will inevitably be worried."

Sister Qing said angrily: "He is just partial. If it were me and my siblings, I don't believe my father would be like this."

 “Cousin--”

Pingyang was about to continue comforting her daughter when she heard her daughter suddenly call out. She followed the call and saw that it was Pei Yunqian.

Sister Qing was already running towards Pei Yunqian with joy, chirping: "Cousin, are you here to see Uncle Huang? I haven't seen you for a long time, and I miss you."

Pei Yunqian smiled at Sister Qing and asked, "Go to the study for a midday break?"

Sister Qing nodded, and Pei Yunqian asked again: "Are you busy with your studies? Are you tired?"

Sister Qing immediately complained: "Why aren't you tired? Tutor is very strict. If you don't learn well, you will be punished by copying books."

While the two were talking, Pingyang strolled over, touched his daughter's head, and joked: "You can't imitate yourself, so you blame Taifu for being strict? Sister Xue from Shangshu Mansion is younger than you. , how can I return the Taifu's praise?"

Sister Qing pouted her face, and Pei Yunqian looked at his niece, laughed, and said, "Why compare yourself to others? In my cousin's eyes, Sister Qing is the best. Let's take this equestrian skill as an example. Don't look at it." My sister is young, and I think her riding skills are really beyond the reach of an average adult man."

After hearing the compliment, Sister Qing immediately smiled again on her face.

Pei Yunqian glanced at Pingyang, then looked at Sister Qing, and said gently: "I went out yesterday and met the doctor of the Xuncheng Yuan. When we were chatting, he said that this year's Lantern Festival, the Xuncheng Yuan will organize a large-scale event. We also invited a number of circus troupes to attend the lantern festival, and I asked him to help reserve a good spot at the city gate, so that your mother can take you and your siblings to see it."

When Sister Qing heard this, she immediately jumped for joy, clapped her hands and said, "Great, great."

As she said that, she said to Pei Yunqian: "Cousin, you can come with us when the time comes."

Pei Yunqian smiled and said, "My cousin has many things to do, so he can't go."

Sister Qing was slightly disappointed: "What a pity."

Pei Yunqian coaxed his niece and said, "They are all women and children, and it is not convenient for my cousin to go there. When the time comes, I will ask my chief attendant to take you up to the tower to find a place, and you can just have fun."

As he said that, he told his niece: "You are the eldest child. There are many people watching the lantern festival, so you should help your mother take care of your younger siblings."

Sister Qing nodded and agreed: "I understand, thank you cousin."

After her daughter finished talking to Pei Yunqian, Pingyang intervened and asked, "It's a pity what happened to the Xu family girl, but don't worry, my sister-in-law and I will help you find a better one."

Pingyang really doesn’t know Pei Yunqian’s thoughts.

　　This cousin has been in their home as long as she can remember. He cares about her and takes care of her just like her brothers. She seems to have become accustomed to it.

Pingyang has never thought of looking elsewhere.

Pei Yunqian felt at ease with Pingyang's ignorance. He was such a person. Since he loved her, he was willing to protect her silently. He didn't want to burden her with her thoughts.

Pei Yunqian smiled indifferently, his face still looking calm, and he said: "My cousin is pregnant, so it is not appropriate to work too hard. We will discuss this matter later. I am not in a hurry."
