The High Gate Mistress of Rebirth

Chapter 158 Meiniang's Instigation

After dinner, Li Xian took his brothers and sisters back to Bitangju. As soon as he entered the courtyard, he saw Xu Wanning returning from practicing martial arts in the back garden wearing a strong outfit and carrying a sword.

Seeing his wife's appearance like this, Li Xian's handsome face couldn't help but sink.He handed the children to the wet nurse, and followed his wife into the house.

After entering the room, Xu Wanning handed the swords in her hands to the little girls. She sat down on the chair, poured a cup of tea for herself, and drank it with her head up. Then she looked at Li Xian and asked, "What do you want?" When you come back, you have a cold face, who will you show it to?"

From the bottom of his heart, Li Xian didn't like Xu Wanning's rude demeanor. According to his aesthetics, a woman should be considered beautiful if she is dignified, gentle, virtuous, and smiles without showing her teeth.

He walked up to his wife and said with a serious face: "You are the wife and family of a cabinet minister now, can you not be a swordsman all day long, if it spreads out, what will you look like?"

Xu Wanning snorted coldly, and replied: "Emperor Wu of the previous dynasty had a concubine who could wield swords and knives. Emperor Wu even praised that concubine for her uniqueness. He even took her to the battlefield when he went out to battle. I'm just a minister's wife, so I can't take it." Sword? What’s the point of this?”

Li Xian interrupted his wife impatiently, "Don't argue with me."

He gave Xu Wanning another white look, and continued: "Let me ask you, why didn't you go when mother invited you to dinner today?"

Xu Wanning snorted coldly and said, "If your mother sincerely wanted me to come over for dinner, why didn't you send someone to call me earlier? The food on my side is ready, and your side is also ready, so that someone can come over and let me know." ,What does it mean?"

Li Xian reprimanded with a cold face: "She is the mother, and you are the daughter-in-law. Even if she does not do well, you should take care of it. The old man invites you to dinner. If you don't go, it is rude. Do you understand?"

Seeing his wife's disapproving look, Li Xian straightened up angrily, walked back and forth a few steps on the ground, pointed at Xu Wanning and scolded: "Tell you Xu, I am now a cabinet minister, how many pairs of eyes are staring at me? You are my wife, you have to be careful in every way so as not to be caught by others, understand?"

Xu Wanning "tssed": "Why don't you tell your mother to be more careful, since you entered the cabinet, the most high-profile person in this family is your mother, she yells all day long, and even asks for it from five miles away. If this is the case, if it is not for the pressure of the second younger brother and sister, Song Le Tang will pass An Xi Tang."

She rolled her eyes at Li Xian: "Aren't you afraid of being caught by others?"

Li Xian flicked his sleeves impatiently, and said with a bluffing face: "She is my mother, all filial piety is the first, even if she has done it well, who can say anything?"

"It's you, be careful with me everywhere, and don't cause trouble for me."

Xu Wanning didn't bother to talk to him anymore, she got up and went to the inner room: "I'm tired, I'm going to sleep, you go quickly."

Li Xian glanced at his wife's indifferent appearance, flicked his sleeves in annoyance, and said: "It's really rotten wood that can't be carved!" Then he left Bitangju angrily.

He stood at the door for a while, originally intending to find a shortcut to settle with the two aunts in the courtyard, but when he thought that the two aunts always followed Xu Wanning's lead and submissive in front of him, he didn't like it, so he dismissed the idea .

He thought for a moment, then raised his legs and headed towards Chenxi Pavilion again.

When passing by Guo Cuiyan's Lixiangyuan, his cousin's lovely appearance when he was drinking in Songle Hall suddenly appeared in his mind. Li Xian shook his head slightly, and walked into Chenxi Pavilion.

Mei Niang didn't expect Li Xian to come over tonight, since Li Xian joined the cabinet, she didn't come here often.

Mei Niang hurriedly went up to greet him, ordered people to make tea and helped Li Xian change his clothes, the service was very attentive and thoughtful.

Li Xian sat down on the chair and looked up to see that Mei Niang was wearing a white skirt today. He remembered that Guo Cuiyan was also wearing white at his mother's place today, but Guo Cuiyan's temperament was like orchid, and it was easy to wear white on her. What's more, she is simple and elegant, her temperament is charming and enchanting, and she is naturally not as good as Guo Cuiyan in white.

He stretched out his hand to pull her into his arms, and said lightly, "This white color doesn't suit you very well, and pink is more suitable for you."

Meiniang is the best at understanding men's minds, how could she not know that Guo Cuiyan likes to wear white dresses the most, hearing what Li Xian said, Meiniang smiled and said: "Today I went to talk to my cousin girl."

*** raised her eyebrows: "Did you go to her place? What did you guys talk about?"

Mei Niang replied: "I didn't talk about anything, but every time my concubine mentioned Langjun, the cousin would praise him."

Li Xian said "Oh?", motioning for Mei Niang to continue talking.

Mei Niang said coquettishly: "The cousin boasted that Mr. Lang has a gentle and capable temperament. He entered the cabinet at a young age, and his future is boundless."

She wrapped her arms around Li Xian's neck and continued: "Biao girl has a good life and a gentle temper. She knows everything about piano, chess, calligraphy and painting. She is really a rare good girl."

Li Xian smiled and said: "It's rare to hear you praise others."

Mei Niang replied: "I don't like to praise others because I didn't meet a good person at that time. A good person like Miss Biao really makes me admire."

As she said that, she sighed leisurely: "Hey! Such a good person, I don't know who can have such a blessing to marry home."

Li Xian cleared his throat, and said calmly: "My cousin is not in a hurry to get married."

Mei Niang pretended to be puzzled and said: "Why is this? Could it be that the wife likes Miss Biao and doesn't plan to marry her so early?"

Li Xian said perfunctorily, "Maybe that's the case."

Mei Niang's eyes lit up, she looked at Li Xian and said: "Since my wife likes Miss Biao so much, and Miss Biao is so nice, why don't you have the best of both worlds if you take her by your side? In this way, it will be right for your wife, Mrs. I always have conflicts with my wife. With Miss Cousin by my side, my wife can be happy, and it will naturally relieve your worries. Second, that Miss Cousin is also like-minded with Mr. Lang. It also saves Lang Jun from always regretting that there is no beauty by his side who can add fragrance to his sleeves."

Li Xian put his arms around Mei Niang, laughed and said: "You have become generous, when did you become so virtuous and want to help me Nami."

Mei Niang said coquettishly: "Of course I don't want Mr. Lang to have other women by his side, but Miss Biao is such a good person, it's a pity to marry someone else for nothing. Instead of taking advantage of others, it's better to leave Mr. Wang to be happy. "

Li Xian stretched out his long arms, and carried the concubine in his arms onto the bed.

This night, Li Xian was in great spirits, he treated Meiniang as if he had returned to the time when he had just met her, between the beds, Li Xian wanted to change his ways.

Although Mei Niang was like a mirror in her heart, this man wanted her physically, but he was thinking of others in her heart. She protected her slightly swollen belly, and she was still submissive and cooperative in every possible way, serving Li Xian very obediently.
