MTL - Rebirth of the High Gate Mistress-Chapter 591 Pingyang is a good wife

 After the old lady rested, Li Xiang invited his brother and sister-in-law to go to the main hall to talk. Zhao Xuan and Xie were also there. The couple met the empress and bowed respectfully. When they learned that they were here to visit the old lady, Jing Shu showed a smile on her face and looked at Xie's bulging belly and said with concern. : "It seems that the fetus in Mrs. Shizi's belly is already seven months old, right?"

With a warm smile on her face, Mrs.

Jingshu smiled and said, "I heard that Mrs. Shizi has given birth to five children. You are really lucky."

Xie hurriedly replied: "The children are all so skinny that they are not worth mentioning."

Then he smiled and said, "We were supposed to go back to Yizhou years ago, but suddenly we got pregnant. Now spring has begun, and the weather is getting warmer. I and my son will leave for Yizhou in the next few days." , I didn’t expect to be lucky enough to see His Majesty and His Majesty the Golden Face before I left.”

Jingshu was a kind-hearted person, so she heard the words and replied: "Madam, you are very heavy now, why don't you wait until the baby is born before you return. This journey is very far, and you are pregnant. How can you bear it?" "

Xie naturally couldn't tell the truth, so she only replied: "I have been away from home for a long time, and I miss the naughty children at home."

After saying that, she quietly glanced at Li Ling, who was sitting at the top without saying a word, with the corner of her eyes.

Although Ms. Xie kept her duty and did not dare to overstep her bounds, Li Ling couldn't tell what she was thinking, so he interjected: "Even if the family cannot be separated from each other for a few months, my cousin found out that she is pregnant, so why not wait until the baby is born?" Come down and leave."

Zhao Xuan has always been very shy about this cold and majestic emperor. Ever since he met the emperor, he has not even dared to raise his head. He was so nervous that his palms were covered in cold sweat. Now that he heard the emperor's favor, he felt quite surprised and then quietly raised his head. He came, glanced at the emperor, and quickly looked away, only looking at his wife beside him.

Mrs. Xie, however, looked calm. This time, she replied truthfully: "Your Majesty is currently purging the rebel king. The prince and concubine have special status. If they stay in the capital for a long time, I am afraid they will cause criticism. The children on the left and right are already in their third trimester." It’s been a month, just be careful on the way.”

A hint of smile appeared on Li Ling's face: "Cousin, you are too worried. Your Prince Yong's Mansion can take the lead in announcing the withdrawal of the feudal vassal. I am naturally aware of your loyalty."

He added: "My cousin's health is very important. She will give birth to the child in just a few months before returning to the fiefdom."

Since his wife and concubines were both pregnant, Zhao Xuan naturally did not want to take risks and wished to wait until the children were born before returning. Hearing what the emperor said was sincere, Zhao Xuan still felt uncertain. He was not paying attention, and saw Mrs. Xie winking at him. Before he could recover, Mrs. Xie had already pulled him to kneel down. On the ground, I began to give thanks.

　　Until he was sitting in the carriage returning home, Zhao Xuan was still confused.

“Madam, do we really have to wait in Beijing for the baby to be born?”

Ms. Xie looked at her husband: "Since the emperor has spoken, he will naturally stay. Do you think I am willing to travel hard with a big belly?"

 Zhao Xuan was naturally unwilling.

He stared at his wife and said nonchalantly: "Do you think the emperor is testing us? Why am I always in a state of anxiety? Hey! Ever since I saw the emperor's iron-blooded tactics to withdraw the vassal, I have not felt at ease. But now, I feel terrified when I see the holy face."

Mrs. Xie clapped her husband's hand and said warmly: "Don't worry, I can see that the emperor is not willing to compromise with us. Although your majesty is tough, he is also a magnanimous person."

Zhao Xuan took advantage of the situation and held his wife's hand, frowned, and sighed: "Madam, do you think I am too timid?"

Xie Shi was happy: "I heard that King Li has retreated to Wangfu City. The emperor is so powerful, who can not be afraid? As a prince and son, it is normal for my husband to be afraid."

Zhao Xuan curled up and leaned his head on his wife's shoulder: "Madam, you are really a person with ideas. If it weren't for you, I really don't know what would have happened." Zhao Xuan is tall, and a big man is leaning on the woman's shoulder. It looks very funny.

Ms. Xie pushed her husband and said, "Your Majesty, you are not afraid of being laughed at."

"There are only two of us in the car, who can see?" Zhao Xuan moved his body and changed into a slightly more comfortable position, but did not move away. He was still leaning on his wife so funny: "Qingqing, after all these years, Thanks to you."

Mr. Xie didn't like being so greasy, so he pushed Zhao Xuan away hard: "Don't do this, it makes my skin crawl."

 Zhao Xuan took her in his arms and kissed her again and again on the forehead.

 That night, the old lady of Zhenguo Gongfu passed away peacefully.

This woman who was born into a wealthy family, married into a high family, enjoyed all the wealth in the world, and also experienced heartache. After hearing the solemn promise from the grandson of an emperor, she no longer had any worries and just went there peacefully. .

Li Ling and Jing Shu had already fallen asleep. When they heard the news of the old lady's death, they were startled at first.

Jingshu cried.

Li Ling sighed and said, "I had such a premonition when I saw my grandmother today."

 The couple could no longer sleep, but it was already midnight and it was impossible for the emperor and empress to leave the imperial city.

The ones who entered the palace to report the news were the deputy housekeeper and Aunt Xu who was beside the old lady.

Of course, it was impossible for the two of them to enter the inner palace. They could only deliver the news outside the imperial city, and then the news was passed door to door to the emperor's palace.

Li Ling stood up, Jing Shu put a coat on him, and the couple left the inner hall. Li Ling ordered: "Go and invite Butler Fu and Aunt Xu in. I have something to ask."

As an emperor, he cannot leave the palace at will. The government knew that Li Ling must have been anxious when he knew that the old lady had passed away, so he ordered Nanny Xu to come over.

 Because the old lady passed away in the middle of the night, Aunt Xu stayed by her side.

Li Ling met his grandmother and asked, "Did my grandmother leave any words before she died?"

Aunt Xu replied truthfully: "The old lady met the emperor and the empress during the day and was in a good mood. She also ate a bowl of white porridge in the evening. The prince's wife, the eldest lady and the new young lady have been taking turns to guard the house at night. The ladies came again, but the old lady insisted on letting them all go back, saying that she was already well and wanted to sleep peacefully, and asked the grandson-in-law and great-granddaughter-in-law to go back and sleep well. Everyone saw that the old lady was in much better spirits. It turned out that I thought she was really getting better, but unexpectedly, the old lady woke up suddenly in the middle of the night. The slave came up to her and asked her if she needed anything, and she said, 'I'm leaving.'"



Li Ling sighed and asked, "What words did grandma leave behind?"

Mother Xu replied: "I didn't say anything. I just muttered, 'Pingyang is a good wife' and left."
