The High Gate Mistress of Rebirth

Chapter 289

Before Erlang was full moon, Li Xian came back from a business trip.

Li Xian had already obtained the family letter from his wife to give birth, and after finishing his errands and returning to Beijing, he went straight to the house without stopping. He strode towards Bitangju, but was stopped by his old lady halfway.

"You don't want to see me when you come back, where are you going?" Mrs. Guo stopped her hurrying son and asked with a drooping old face.

Li Xian frowned slightly: "The baby is almost full moon, I haven't even looked at it as a father, I'll see you later."

Upon hearing this, Mrs. Guo scolded angrily: "There are parents first, then a wife and children. You are still a scholar. Is this how you treat the mother who gave birth to you? I think your book is true."

Before Mrs. Guo could finish her chatter, Li Xian already walked away from her impatiently, and strode straight to the main room.

Before Tong Chuan's mother-in-law went in to report, Li Xian had already entered the house. Xu Wanning was teasing her youngest son on the bed. When she saw Li Xian, she was surprised and said, "Why are you back? Isn't it said in the family letter that it will be three days later?"

Li Xian didn't care to take off his coat, and went directly to the bed, looked at his fat and white son, with a satisfied smile on his face: "This kid looks really strong."

Xu Wanning smiled and said, "He weighed eight catties when he was born, isn't he strong?"

Li Xian got up on the bed and embraced his wife, whispering in her ear, "I couldn't be by your side even after you gave birth to this child."

Lan Tian saw that Jiao Xing drank the medicine with his own eyes, so he didn't linger any longer, and left after saying a few polite words.

Xu Wanning replied: "I didn't suffer any crimes, it was pretty fast."

Jiao Xing took a look at Li Xiang: "Look at your talent, if you don't get enough sleep, don't stay up so late at night."

Jiao Xing's cheeks were slightly red, she gave Li Xiang a bad look, and quickly turned around to help Li Xiang put on the clothes.

Xu Wanning glanced at him: "What's the matter? You don't like it?"

Li Xiang just opened his eyes, looked at Jiao Xing lazily on the bed and said: "Otherwise, I'll just say that I'm not feeling well today, so I won't go."

Li Xian sighed and said, "The project of dredging the Yellow River is so huge. Last year's recovery of the five cities of the imperial court has already emptied the national treasury. How can we gather money in a while."

Jiao Xing replied: "The left and right are brought from the kitchen, and they are all cooked according to Madam's instructions, your favorite food on weekdays."

Li Ling handed Jiao Xing hot tea, and said coldly, "It's just that taking too much of this medicine will hurt your body."

"Let's name this kid Brother Ping."

Li Xiang got up, put on his middle clothes and got off the ground, stood in front of Jiao Xing and looked at her, said in a low voice with half a smile: "Then what do you mean, you can only sleep obediently at night?"

Li Xiang narrowed his eyes and said vaguely, "What time is it?"

As she spoke, she looked at Li Xian and asked, "Is this errand going well?"

Li Xian patted his wife on the shoulder and said deeply: "I was also ordered to supervise the flood control, but I didn't go to the front line to do projects like this time. The displaced victims were quite touched, the Yellow River floods every time a disaster occurs, if the dredging works are not done well, it is not a long-term solution to always try to make up for the floods like this.”

Li Xiang looked down at her shy appearance, his brows and eyes were curved, and he changed the subject and asked, "What are you giving me this morning?"

Jiao Xing smiled heartlessly at Li Xiang and said, "It's okay, I'm strong."

The two were about to go out for breakfast, when Xiaomei opened the curtain and came in, "Auntie, Sister Lantian next to Madam has brought you medicine."

When Li Xiang heard Jiao Xing mentioning Pingyang, his face showed a trace of embarrassment, and he muttered: "Seeing you are so cautious, I feel really distressed."

After Lan Tian left, Jiao Xing glanced at the gloomy Li Xiang and said with a smile, "This medicine is not bitter."

Li Xian kissed his wife again: "As long as it was born by you, I like it."

Xu Wanning smiled coldly and said, "I forgive you, but you dare not dislike it."

Li Xian looked carefully at his son who was sleeping sweetly, and murmured: "This child is so old, did he suffer when he was born?"

After hearing this, Xu Wanning felt at ease, and replied to Li Xian, "Don't care about the size of the errand, as long as it benefits the country and the people, and can benefit the people, your errand can be regarded as accumulating virtue and blessings. In my opinion, it is better than It’s better to immerse yourself in officialdom all day long and make calculations.”

Li Xian replied with a smile: "Don't you know what your husband is capable of? It's just a superintendent to deal with a small flood, so there's no reason why I can't handle such a trivial matter."

Xu Wanning replied: "Aren't you on a business trip? What can you do about it?"

Jiao Xing replied: "It's past the time of day, get up quickly, it will be too late if you don't want to be an errand again."

As he said that, he looked at his infant son and murmured: "I just hope that the weather will be smooth and there will be few natural disasters, so that all the people in the world will have peace."

Li Xiang grabbed her hand, kissed her, and said helplessly, "Don't worry, I know."

Xu Wanning replied: "Since that's the case, now that you are the minister of the Ministry of Industry, why don't you write a letter to Your Majesty."

Early in the morning, after Jiao Xing got up, she put on her clothes swiftly, and after washing, she went outside to check the meals from the kitchen, then she went back to the inner room, pushed Li Xiang who was sleeping on the bed, and said, "Third Master , it's time to get up."

Since Li Xiang spent the night here, every morning Pingyang would send Bizi Tang over.

When Jiao Xing heard this, she subconsciously glanced at the door, quickly covered Li Xiang's mouth, and said in a low voice: "I am very content with you and me being able to do this now, you must not give birth You should have thought about it."

Jiao Xing took the Bizi Tang in Lan Tian's hand, said: "Thank you, sister." She drank it all in one gulp.

Li Xian moved up to his wife and kissed it, then said with a smile, "Didn't you say you were a girl when you were pregnant? Why did you become a big fat boy again?"

In a rich and powerful family, if the wife is pregnant and cannot serve her, they all want to give her husband another concubine. Since Li Xiang is unwilling to take another concubine, he can only let Jiao Xing serve him.

After getting along for such a period of time, Pingyang saw that Jiao Xing was really a very responsible person, so he let go of his heart and only focused on raising the baby.

In Xianglin Garden, since Ping Yang became pregnant, Li Xiang moved to live with Jiao Xing in the West Court.

Li Xiang silently didn't speak any more, just raised his hand and took her hand to go outside to have dinner, after breakfast, Jiao Xing sent Li Xiang out, when the two walked side by side, Li Xiang whispered in Jiao Xing's ear : "When she gives birth to a baby, I will tell her that you will not be allowed to drink that medicinal soup from now on."

Li Xiang's eyes were red when he said this, and there was a hint of sobs in his tone.

Even if Pingyang is kind enough to let her concubine have a child, she has to wait until the main wife gives birth to a son, otherwise, she is not qualified to have a child anyway.

Jiao Xing raised her hand and patted Feihong who landed on Li Xiang's shoulder, still jokingly said: "I am still a child, how can I be a mother."
