MTL - Rebirth of the High Gate Mistress-Chapter 584 Letter from cousin Pei

The weather was fine. Li Kun took Dong Qing out of the Jiaofang Palace. He looked at the bride and asked, "It's still early. How about I accompany you to see the palace? There is a plum grove in the imperial garden. I heard it's beautiful." One view.”

 There is only one queen, Jing Shu, in Li Ling's harem, and there are no other concubines or female relatives, so Li Kun has no restrictions when waiting for his nephew to enter the palace, and it is very convenient for him to walk around.

Dong Qing glanced at Li Kun and replied: "Have you forgotten, eldest son? Before I got married, I spent most of my time in this palace."

Li Kun suddenly understood. His handsome face was slightly red, and he scratched his head in embarrassment: "I really forgot about this."

As he spoke, he enthusiastically suggested: "How about I take you for a walk on the street?"

He looked at the bride with light in his eyes: "Where do you want to go? I can take you there."

Dong Qing smiled slightly and replied: "Thank you for your kindness, eldest son. It's just that I don't want to go shopping. I'd better go back home. Today is the fifteenth day. According to the rules, I have to pay respects to the elders after dinner."

Li Kun smiled and said: "How many times have I told you, there is no need to be so formal. You are my wife, and the public house is your home. Whatever you were in your natal family, you will be the same in the public house. .”

The young man's heart is full of his newlywed wife, and the tenderness in his eyes when he looks at his wife can melt the whole winter.

Dong Qing smiled slightly at Li Kun and said, "Thank you for your kindness, eldest son."

Li Kun looked around and saw no one around him, so he stepped forward and took the bride's hand.

Dongqing subconsciously wanted to withdraw her hand, but the man held it tightly, so she left the inner palace with him with her head half-bowed.

The two of them returned to the palace. As soon as they entered Xiyuan, they were invited to Bitangju by the maid sent by Xu Wanning to wait at the door.

 Xu Wanning was chatting happily with her daughter Zhuang Sister. When she saw her daughter-in-law, she immediately left Sister Zhuang and pulled Dong Qing over to greet her.

"You haven't seen the queen for a long time. The queen is very happy to see you today. The queen likes you. Every time she enters the palace, she will praise you, say you are smart, and say you are the most talented woman she has ever seen. , the empress is a talented person, proficient in all kinds of music, chess, calligraphy and painting, unlike me, who didn’t know anything when I was young, I only knew how to wield swords and guns. "

Her mother-in-law treated her affectionately, just as a biological mother would treat her daughter the same way.

Dong Qing smiled warmly: "Everyone has his or her own strengths, but no one in Beijing knows that my mother-in-law is quick and capable, and is a heroine among women."

Hearing this, Xu Wanning's smile became even stronger. She ordered someone to take out the jewelry she had packed at the bottom of the box. It was a large box full, and she pulled Dong Qing to let her choose.

Sister Zhuang pouted at the side and joked: "Mom, didn't you say these are all for my makeup? Why did you give them to my sister-in-law again?"

Xu Wanning glared at her daughter: "Let's go, your marriage has not yet been settled. Let's get your sister-in-law here first."

Ever since she married into the father-in-law's house, her mother-in-law has been giving her things every once in a while. Although Dong Qing knew her mother-in-law's intentions, she was not too secretive. She only chose two jade hairpins. Xu Wanning felt that she had given her too little. Gu was fussing in the box and picked out five or six good things to give to his daughter-in-law. He also told his son to take a few days of wedding leave at home and spend time with his daughter-in-law.

After leaving Bitangju, Dong Qing subconsciously looked at the low clouds on the horizon, and warned herself once again that she should be content.

She is loved by her mother-in-law and pampered by her husband. In such a wealthy family, everyone treats her extremely well.

　In the words of her stepmother, she simply fell into a nest of blessings and envied many people.

 But her heart was empty.

 In Gongfu Xianglin Garden.

When Pingyang heard that his brother and sister-in-law had donated all the assets in Beijing, he couldn't help but talk to Li Xiang: "It's like this and that, our family was so prosperous in the past, but now we have to give up our wealth to ensure safety. "

Li Xiang was leaning on the couch, holding a book and flipping through it. When he heard this, he put down the book and said to his wife: "Brother Huang has always been very clever, and I'm afraid he has long wanted to withdraw from the vassal. But since my brother and sister-in-law have taken the lead to withdraw from the vassal, Now that he has donated such a large sum of money for the Western Expedition, the emperor will definitely be more open to Prince Yong's palace." Pingyang sighed and said, "That's what you say, but I'm still a little worried."

Li Xiang got off the bed, walked to Pingyang's side, and comforted him softly: "Don't worry, even if the emperor really has this intention, I will risk my life to write a letter, begging him to let Prince Yong's palace go."

 He cleared his throat: "Brother Huang has loved me since I was a child, so he will still give me this portion of thin noodles."

How could Pingyang not tell that Li Xiang was deliberately trying to please her?

Pingyang smiled: "You! You still have the same mind as when you were a boy, so innocent."

Li Xiang was also happy, and said with an awkward smile: "No, not very mature, right?"

It was rare for the couple to have such a warm and happy time. Li Xiang looked at his wife, raised his hand to tuck her hair on the temples, and murmured: "Pingyang, actually you haven't changed, you are still as innocent as when you were a girl."

Li Xiang frowned slightly and added: "You did have a bit of a patriarchal style when you were the director of the family, but I know that in your heart, you are actually very simple."

Pingyang gradually stopped smiling, slightly avoided Li Xiang's touch, and replied: "You are wrong, I have actually changed a long time ago."

She saw that Li Xiang looked sad after hearing this, so she smiled forcefully: "I am already a mother, how can I remain unchanged?"

Li Xiang is right, Pingyang's innocence has not changed at all. Even though Li Xiang once caused her deep hurt, she still can't bear to hurt him with words or see him sad.

 The more his wife behaves like this, the deeper the guilt Li Xiang feels.

 He lowered his head and whispered Pingyang's name.

The couple were just thinking about their own things here. Sister Qing, Sister Wan and Sister Mei ran in shouting. Sister Wan ran in front. As soon as they entered the house, they said to Pingyang: "Mother, there is a letter from my cousin. "

Pingyang was startled and asked quickly: "Where is it?"

Sister Qing had a smile on her face and pretended to be mysterious: "My cousin's letter is for me. I received it after school today."

Pingyang glared at his daughter: "Then why didn't you tell me earlier?"

Then he asked anxiously: "What did my cousin say in the letter? How is the war on the front line? Is he safe?"

 When fighting, there will be casualties. When soldiers are fighting abroad, what the family longs for most is peace.

Sister Qing replied hurriedly: "The soldiers have won the battle and their morale is high. My cousin said everything is fine with him too."

"He also asked me to study with the master in the study room. He said that after I finished my studies, he would take me to horse racing when he came back from victory."

The little girl said this last sentence with a little pride, and she even looked at Sister Mei who was standing aside.

Sister Wan's face turned red and she hurriedly asked, "Can you take me with you?"

Sister Mei was a little dazed. She looked at Pingyang and asked in a low voice: "Mother, can I call Mr. Pei uncle? I also want to have a good uncle."

Sister Qing immediately rolled her eyes at Sister Mei, raised her head and said, "That's our uncle, not yours."
