Rebirth of the High Gate Mistress

 Everyone was searching anxiously, and a messenger came from the mansion, saying that the child had been found.

It turned out that the two children ran away because of their fun. When the adults disappeared, they hid in the door of a shop and cried. Then the shopkeeper led them into the shop, and finally coaxed the two children to tell the story. Regarding the situation at home, the shopkeeper guessed from the children's words that they might be from the Zhenguo Palace, so he ordered the two children to be sent back.

When everyone heard that the child was sent back safe and sound, they all breathed a long sigh of relief. Pingyang almost collapsed, and was helped by Li Xiang to get into the carriage.

The whole family came here for fun, and after experiencing this fright, they all came back like emptied balls, all exhausted of energy.

When they returned to the palace, the old lady and the eldest princess were accompanying their two children in Anxi Hall. The children were unaware of the danger, but the adults were frightened half to death.

When she saw Li Xiang, the eldest princess couldn't help but scolded: "You are such a big person, you can't even look after a child. Thanks to my brother and sister, they were met by kind people. If there is something wrong, But what should we do?”

The old lady rolled her eyes at her grandson, and then echoed: "This Xiang'er, he has not been very careful in doing things since he was a child. Now that he is a father, he is still so vague."

Li Xiang was already feeling guilty, but now he felt even more depressed after hearing the scolding from his grandmother and mother: "It's all my fault, I was careless."

The eldest princess was still angry and said reluctantly: "When I go out from now on, I can't leave the child to you."

The old lady snorted heavily: "He is just unreliable."

 Li Xiang was trained like an eggplant beaten by frost, his head was wilted and his brain was drooping.

Although Pingyang was also angry with Li Xiang in his heart, seeing that he was being trained like this, he couldn't help but soften his heart.

"Grandma, mother, since the children are fine, don't get angry. You can't blame your husband entirely for this. I am also responsible. If I had ordered the girls to follow me, this kind of thing would not have happened."

Seeing Pingyang speak, the old lady and the eldest princess let Li Xiang go. The eldest princess rolled her eyes at her son and said, "You are lucky enough to have a good wife like Pingyang." Then they said goodbye. He left the old lady and took the servant girl with him.

 The old lady handed the children to Pingyang and asked them to take the children back to rest.

When he returned to Xianglinyuan, Pingyang picked up his son and couldn't help but kiss him again and again.

Sister Mei came over and hugged Pingyang, raised her head and asked, "Mother, it's our fault for making you worry."

Pingyang's tears welled up all at once.

Brother Heng opened his little hands and wiped his mother's tears: "Mother, I will be obedient from now on and never run around again."

Pingyang nodded to the two children and asked the wet nurse to coax them to sleep. After the children left, Pingyang only looked at Li Xiang solemnly, but did not say anything accusatory, and then went into the inner room.

 The look from his wife made Li Xiang more uncomfortable than the scolding from his grandmother and mother.

Li Xiang sat outside for a long time and drank several cups of tea before he mustered up the courage to enter the inner room.

He saw his wife sitting on the bed weeping silently, and Li Xiang felt like a cat scratching his heart.

He walked slowly to his wife's side, took out a brocade handkerchief from his sleeve pocket, and handed it to Pingyang. Pingyang didn't take it, and just said with a dull face: "Go and do your work, I want to stay by myself for a while."

Li Xiang muttered: "You must be very resentful of me, right?"

Pingyang sniffed: "If the child is really lost, what's the use of me blaming you?"

Li Xiang said dejectedly: "When I couldn't find the child, I thought, if Brother Heng is really lost, I can only die to apologize to you."

Pingyang raised his head, looked at Li Xiang, and replied: "What's the use of taking your life?" Li Xiang turned his head away with his eyes red.

Pingyang pulled him and asked in surprise: "Why are you still crying?"

Li Xiang wiped his tears with his sleeve and said harshly: "Who is crying?"

Pingyang sighed: "That's all, I won't be angry with you. As a grown man, why are you crying?"

Li Xiang turned around, opened his arms and hugged Pingyang tightly. He buried his head on her shoulder and cried harder.

 Prince Yong’s Mansion.

 Chun'er arrived in a blink of an eye, and the weather became warmer day by day. Xie and Zhao Xuan began to discuss returning to Yizhou.

Originally, they were supposed to leave Beijing after paying tribute last winter. Xie was unexpectedly pregnant. The couple was worried about the difficulty of traveling on the ice and snow, so they stayed longer.

Zhao Xuan looked at Xie's bulging belly and was still a little worried: "Your pregnancy is now five months old, so it's stable. It's just that it's been a hard journey."

Ms. Xie replied: "I'm not afraid of hard work, but the person you care about is really not doing well recently. I wonder if she can bear it along the way. If it really doesn't work, just keep her until she is born." Get the baby off and take him back."

Zhao Xuan has had a quarrel with Meng for beating Tao Yao a few days ago, and the two have been in a cold war for a while.

Zhao Xuan looked at his wife and sighed: "Madam is so virtuous, I feel deeply ashamed of you."

Mrs. Xie smiled and replied: "Don't think that I feel sorry for her. She was disrespectful to me in the past. Since she became pregnant, she has become even more disobedient. I don't have such a big belly."

She took a sip of tea gently and continued: "For the sake of the child in her belly, this is the flesh and blood of our Zhao family and we cannot let her do anything about it."

Comparing his wife's general knowledge, Zhao Xuan complained: "Mr. Meng, hey! She is really too willful."

 It’s not what you’re used to!

Ms. It’s like I can’t get through it.”

Zhao Xuan looked embarrassed and hesitated: "You are the wife and she is the concubine. You don't have to care about what she thinks."

 It sounds nice, but doesn’t Mr. Xie know that Zhao Xuan has a soft ear? If Mr. Meng talks to him, he will inevitably blame her. In addition, Mr. Xie also has other plans.

Mrs. Xie replied: "If your husband can love and value me so much, it will not be in vain for the hard work I have done to give birth to your children and take care of your middle child. However, you should tell her about this matter, and I will not interfere." .”

Zhao Xuan agreed and went to Xikuoyuan.

Since the last time the two of them had a quarrel about Tao Yao, Zhao Xuan has not been here again. These days, Meng is really ill.

She was so happy when she saw Zhao Xuan coming in that she no longer wanted to be angry with him. She struggled to get up and said softly: "Husband, you are finally not angry with me, are you?"

Zhao Xuan sat down on the chair and replied, "I have something to tell you."

Meng knew it was not a good thing when she saw his expression. She quickly asked: "When?"

Zhao Xuandao said: "In a few days, we will return to Yizhou."
