MTL - Rebirth of the High Gate Mistress-Chapter 730 [Fan] The belt is getting wider and you will never regret it (19)
As soon as Yi Mei returned to Wang's house, she was so angry with Zhao Jia'er that she didn't want to go back to the yard. She threw her luggage to the serving maid and simply took Cai'er out to relax.
Not far from Wang's house is the Long Street. There are many shops on both sides of the long street. Yi Mei and Cai'er did not take a carriage or horse. The two masters and servants strolled to the long street. Yi Mei had no purpose and just stayed on the long street. Wandering aimlessly.
In order to make her master happy, Cai'er chirped along the way: "Miss, I heard that there is a new pastry chef in Fuji. The lotus cakes he makes are delicious. How about we go buy some and try them?"
Yimei said calmly: "I have no appetite."
Cai'er thought for a moment and then said, "How about we go to Baocui Building to choose some jewelry. Miss hasn't changed her jewelry for a while, and the beads and flowers are all old."
Yi Mei smiled bitterly and said, "It doesn't matter how brightly I dress up in front of the Wang family people all day long."
Cai'er said: "We are not dressing up for the Wang family. The young lady is dressed beautifully, and she is in a good mood."
Cai'er was trying her best to persuade her young lady, when Yi Mei suddenly stopped and looked ahead without blinking.
“Miss, what’s wrong with you?”
Cai'er was puzzled and looked over. Then, he exclaimed: "Miss, is that Mr. Li?"
This is the first time they saw Li Ping after he returned to Beijing.
He is no longer the noble boy with a naughty air. He is tall and tall, and his whole body is filled with a noble aura, which makes people admire him when they see him.
The moment Yi Mei saw Li Ping, Li Ping also noticed her. He quickly got off his horse, threw the reins to his entourage, and strode towards Yi Mei.
It wasn't until Li Ping approached that Cai'er recovered from her surprise. She stepped forward timidly, bowed respectfully to Li Ping, and stammered: "I've seen you before, Mr. Hou."
Li Ping raised his hand to signal her to excuse herself, then looked at Yi Mei and asked, "Are you out shopping?"
Yimei nodded, then put on a smile and asked, "How long have you been back in Beijing?"
“It’s only been half a month.” He replied, then looked at Yi Mei and said, “You have changed a lot.”
The marriage was not going well, life was hard, and the bleak years of the past ten years had already tortured the bright girl back then into darkness.
Yi Mei smiled bitterly and murmured: "How can a person remain unchanged after so many years?"
As she spoke, she looked up at the man with an imposing figure in front of her, and said with a smile: "You have changed a lot, and I can't even recognize you anymore."
In ten years, she has become eclipsed, but he has grown up and become a man who stands upright and is looked up to.
“No matter how I change, I am still me.”
Li Ping smiled at Yi Mei, and then he raised his hand and touched the scar on his face, stared at her with lowered eyes and asked: "You said you dare not recognize me, could it be because of the scar on my face?" Aren't you scared?" It wasn't until Li Ping mentioned it that Yi Mei noticed the scar on his face, but to be honest, the scar on the face of such an eagle-like man did not appear to be abrupt at all. It brings out his domineering power even more.
Yimei smiled brightly and joked: "You have always thought of yourself as the most handsome young man in the capital. Why don't you feel confident today?"
Seeing Yi Mei's bright smile, Li Ping also laughed heartily. He replied: "You are right, even with this scar, I, Li Ping, am also the most handsome in the capital."
He stared at her with a smile on his face. Yi Mei looked at him and seemed to see the arrogance of his youthful and frivolous days in this powerful man.
Li Ping said: "It's the saint's birthday. Princess Bao has also returned. Chen Zhaozhao, who was married far away, has also returned to Beijing with her husband. A few days ago, the prince and the princess suggested that they would invite a few of us in the next few days. My classmates are going to the palace for a small gathering."
The people mentioned by Li Ping all studied together in the palace. The infatuated prince married Sister Xue, the beloved Princess Bao chose a husband by herself and married far away to Waifu, and the capable Chen Zhaozhao married He became the prince of the county.
Although they haven't seen each other for a long time, Yi Mei knows that these classmates and friends of hers are living very well, with loving husbands and wives and many children.
After hearing what Li Ping said, Yi Mei smiled bitterly and replied, "I'd better not go."
Li Ping was surprised: "Why is this? You used to love the excitement. It was easy for everyone to get together. How could it be possible without you?"
Yi Mei thought about it for a long time and struggled to find a reason: "We are all fathers and mothers. I won't have anything to talk about when I go, so I might as well not go."
Everyone is living a good life, but she is the only one whose life is not as good as she wants. How can she have the nerve to get in front of others?
"Who said that everyone is already a father and a mother, but I am still single." Li Ping looked at Yi Mei and said to her in an encouraging tone: "Go and relax. If they keep mentioning the child, Grandsons, great-grandsons, I will tell them to shut up, we are just having a reunion of classmates, not talking about our children."
Yimei was amused by Li Ping and said with a smile: "You are already a general with a title, why are you still so out of shape?"
"Isn't this in front of you?" Li Ping smiled silly at Yi Mei, and then said: "When the date is determined, I will pick you up and let's go to the palace together."
After bidding farewell to Li Ping and returning to Wang's house, Yi Mei suddenly said to Cai'er: "Tomorrow, let's get up early and go to Baocui Tower to pick out some pearl flowers."
Cai'er could hardly believe her ears: "Miss, I haven't seen you in such a leisurely mood for a long time."
Yi Mei smiled faintly and replied: "I met Li Er today and saw that he has changed so much. I think those classmates back then are also getting better and better. I am the only one who is entangled in this quagmire. It’s really boring to fight with those narrow-minded little people.”
As she said that, she sat down in front of the crystal mirror, stared at her haggard face in the mirror, and murmured: "Cai'er, I don't want to look at my face now. All these years of hard work have made me become like this." It’s beyond recognition and I don’t want to sink like this anymore.”
She turned around, looked at Cai'er and said: "I have figured it out. Since Wang Han and I have become inseparable, if he is willing to accept Zhao Jia'er, just let him go. I don't want to have this boring entanglement with them anymore. If Wang Han Han refused to make peace, so I went to live in Zhuangzi in the suburbs. I played the piano, wrote, and read every day. In short, no matter what I did, it was more meaningful than working with them."
Cai'er burst into tears when she heard this. She choked and said: "You should try to find a way to reconcile with my uncle. I see that Mr. Li still has you in his heart. If you can reconcile with your uncle, you can be with Mr. Li." , that would be great.”
"Cai'er, don't say anything like this again in the future." Yi Mei frowned and said with a wry smile: "How can I be worthy of her? In my next life, I will just live with my heart." (This chapter over)
