The High Gate Mistress of Rebirth

Chapter 461 Why are you being polite to me?

The four brothers got together, not very happy, until the willow shoots were on the moon, and the family banquet ended.

The brothers were all slightly drunk. Although Li Ling's footsteps were a bit vain, his mind was still clear. He took his wife and children back to the Jiaofang Hall. Jingshu ordered someone to prepare hangover soup. Li Ling drank a bowl and felt relieved. When he came over, he was going to the imperial study to review the unfinished memorial, but was stopped by Jing Shu. Jing Shu was worried that he would get cold from the wind after drinking, so she ordered the servant to move the memorial to the bedroom. Li Ling followed his wife's advice and got busy in the hall.

Li Xian, Li Xiang and Li Yu were even more drunk, and Li Xian was supported by Xu Wanning into the carriage.Li Yu was escorted back to Li Lingxin's mansion by the servants.Li Xiang was the most drunk, and fell asleep at his desk during the banquet, and Pingyang couldn't wake him up until the palace banquet was over, so Pingyang simply asked two young eunuchs to carry him and throw him into the car.

The chariots and horses drove along under the moonlight, and after a while they returned to Zhen Guo Gongfu. Xu Wanning helped Li Xian and took the children to Xiyuan. , I took the sleepy children back to the yard first.

As soon as Ping Yang entered the house, Lan Tian greeted him and said back and forth: "Ma'am, we have a letter from the palace in the next half hour."

When Pingyang heard a letter from her natal family, she opened the letter and read it without even caring about changing her clothes.

This family letter was written by Princess Lan, the mother of Pingyang. It said that a distant cousin of Pingyang was going to Beijing to participate in the martial arts exam. Princess Lan asked her cousin to bring her many things, and told Pingyang to take care of this cousin. .

Pingyang read the family letter sent by his mother several times before carefully putting it away, and called the maid to take a bath and remove makeup.

Ping Yang was sitting in front of the bronze mirror, after removing makeup, Li Xiang was helped back by the servants, Yuzhu hurriedly called the servants to help Li Xiang onto the bed, and called Lantian to bring the hangover soup, it was a lot of trouble.

Pingyang took off her makeup and went to the bathroom. When she came out after taking a bath, Li Xiang was already half awake. He leaned on the bed, rubbed his brows and said to Pingyang, "Is the alcohol smell in my body smoked?" it's your turn?"

Ping Yang looked up at Li Xiang, and replied: "It's okay."

"I'll go take a shower too." As he said that, Li Xiang struggled to get up, and walked towards the bathroom in a nonchalant manner.

Ping Yang went to bed by herself, maybe she was too tired today, her head blurred as soon as it touched the pillow.

"Ma'am, haven't you taken your medicine yet?"

Pingyang was about to fall asleep, but was awakened by Yuzhu, she opened her eyes and replied: "I'm fine, I don't need to drink this medicine anymore."

Yuzhu insisted: "You are just getting better now. The imperial doctor ordered that you have to drink for two or three days, otherwise you may have to repeat it again."

The master and servant were talking here, Li Xiang came out of the bathroom, he was almost sober after taking a bath, Li Xiang came over and took the medicine bowl in Yuzhu's hand, handed it to Pingyang and said: "According to the doctor's order, drink two more day."

Pingyang didn't say a word, Yuzhu saw this, stepped forward to help Pingyang, and persuaded: "You just listen to the words of the imperial doctor and uncle, otherwise if the disease recurs, it is you who will suffer."

Ping Yang took the medicine bowl from Li Xiang's hand, took a deep breath, frowned and drank it down, Li Xiang handed over hot tea again, Ping Yang rinsed his mouth with the tea, and then lay down again.

"I heard that your natal family came to write a letter today?"

After such a toss, Pingyang's drowsiness was gone, and she replied lightly: "It's from my mother."

Li Xiang asked again: "What did the mother-in-law say in the letter? Is the family all right?"

Pingyang replied indifferently: "The family is fine, my mother said a while ago that a distant cousin of mine is going to Beijing to participate in martial arts, and will bring some things with me."

Li Xiang asked: "Which cousin of yours, why have you never heard of it before?"

The Lan family is a big family, and there are too many cousins ​​in Pingyang. After hearing what Li Xiang said, she didn't know how to respond, so she just said perfunctorily: "It's just a cousin from a distant aunt's family. He offended His Majesty by being righteous and outspoken, so he was convicted and demoted to the south. His father and mother concubine took good care of their family. This cousin has been working under his father's command. Now that the second brother recruits talented people, his father recommended him to come to Beijing Give it a go."

"Did the mother-in-law mention in her heart when he will arrive in the capital, so I can order someone to meet him outside the city?"

Pingyang replied: "It's almost the end of the month. I'll order the boys to take care of it. Don't bother your husband."

"Why are you being polite to me?"

As soon as Li Xiang said this, Ping Yang raised his eyes and looked at him, both of them showed embarrassment at the same time.

"Sleep, I'm tired." Ping Yang dropped this sentence and turned sideways.

Li Xiang extinguished the candle on the desk, and then lay down. The bright moonlight spilled into the room. Although his wife's hazy figure was close to the pillow, Li Xiang felt that she was far away in the sky. He listened With the sound of his wife's even breathing, he subconsciously moved his body closer to his wife.

Inside the Pepper Room.

It was already midnight when Li Ling finished reading the last memorial. He got up and stretched his numb waist, and took off his outer cloak. He was afraid of waking his wife, so he entered the inner hall lightly, but Li Ling just lay down. Next, the wife's delicate body leaned over.

"Are you still asleep?" Li Ling asked softly, taking his wife into his arms.

"I fell asleep just now, but you are not by my side, and I can't sleep well." As she said, Jing Shu buried her head tightly in her husband's arms, smelling the familiar smell, she felt drowsy. Really struck.

Li Ling hugged his wife who was as soft as a kitten, and the alcohol that had just been dispelled rushed back again.

Jing Shu opened her eyes and said angrily at him, "Aren't you tired after you've been busy so late?"

"It's okay." As he spoke, Li Ling looked lively again.

Although the two had been married for so many years, Li Ling was still very attached to his wife. This night, the wind and rain were swaying, and the noise in the inner hall did not stop until the light of day.

In the early morning of the second day, Li Ling took the breakfast for the two children, but Sister Bao couldn't see her mother, so she kept asking questions.

"Father, what happened to the queen mother? Why didn't you get up for breakfast today?"

Li Ling replied perfunctorily: "Didn't I tell you that the queen mother was too tired from handling the palace banquet yesterday, so she needs to rest for a while."

Sister Bao pouted and said, "Then I go to the study every day and I am very tired. Why can't I sleep a little longer?"

Li Ling helplessly lied to the child and said: "How can you have your mother working hard? Your mother not only manages the harem, but also takes care of you. It is normal to get up late once in a while. Children should be sensible. Eat breakfast quickly. After eating, you can go." study."
