The High Gate Mistress of Rebirth

Chapter 498 Returning to Beijing
Pei Yunqian sent Pingyang back to Prince Yong's Mansion and he returned home. Pei Yunqian had to go to Beijing to take up his post, and he couldn't stay at home any longer. Half a month later, he returned to Prince Yong's Mansion to pick Pingyang back to Beijing.

This is the first time for Pingyang to return to her natal family since she married into Jingzhong. She has only lived there for less than half a month. Naturally, her family is very reluctant to part with her, but Pingyang is concerned about the young children in the family, so she has made up her mind to return with Pei Yunqian Beijing.

On the day Pingyang left home, Princess Yong took her daughter by the hand and sent her all the way out of the gate of the palace. She was reluctant to part with her daughter and stayed up all night last night. Pingyang smiled and comforted her mother and said: "Mother and concubine, don't be sad, wait until the children are older." , I will bring them back together."

When Princess Yong heard this, she couldn't help but shed tears again: "My child, you are much thinner now than before. Mother brought you a lot of supplements and asked them to put them in the car. When you go back, you will lose weight. You have to eat every day to replenish your body."

Pingyang suppressed his tears, smiled and said to his mother: "It's beautiful for women to dress lightly. I'm good in Beijing. My grandmother and aunt treat me kindly, and the children are well-behaved and sensible. My husband knows it now." Make progress, mother and concubine just take care of herself, don't always miss her daughter."

The elder sister-in-law Xie is the closest to Pingyang. Today she has a high bulging belly and brought four children to see Pingyang off. Pingyang's elder brother Zhao Xuan also came, bringing Meng's, but Meng's appearance is very strange. Weak, only hiding behind Zhao Xuan, not as talkative as others.

Seeing that his mother was always sad, Zhao Xuan stepped forward to comfort him and said, "This year is the year of tribute. If my mother and concubine miss my sister, I will go to Beijing at the end of the year to congratulate and take my mother with me." Then he told Pingyang again: " We are far away in Yizhou, so we can't help you much, if you encounter difficulties in your in-law's family, please ask your uncle's family to make decisions for you, don't wrong yourself."

Pingyang smiled faintly; "I'm not a child anymore, so what's the problem? It's you, and now my sister-in-law is about to give birth, so you have to take care of her more."

Upon hearing this, Mrs. Xie replied with a smile: "This is my fifth child, and it's not that delicate."

Zhao Xuan leaned towards his wife, subconsciously staring at her swollen belly, and replied: "Your sister-in-law is always looking forward to a son. We have already given birth to three sons. I still want to be a daughter for this one. Hehe, after the fetus is born, we will write to you to tell you whether it is a boy or a girl."

When Mrs. Xie heard this, she looked at her husband angrily and said, "My daughter will marry sooner or later, I don't want to endure the pain of parting."

Zhao Xuan patted his wife's hand with a smile, and replied: "Everything is fine, both boys and girls are fine."

Standing behind Zhao Xuan, Meng Shi turned her head sideways, tears filled her eyes suddenly, she tried her best to restrain herself, and sniffed while covering her brocade handkerchief.

Pingyang bid farewell to the other brothers, sisters-in-law and sisters one by one, and then boarded the carriage.

Zhao Xuan stepped forward and told Pei Yunqian who was riding on the horse: "Cousin Pei, be careful on the road."

Pei Yunqian cupped his hands to Zhao Xuangong, and replied: "Don't worry, cousin."

Zhao Xuan said again: "When you come to work in the north, if you encounter difficulties, you can write to me, and I can help you out."

Pei Yunqian replied, "I'm sorry for your trouble, cousin."

Mrs. Xie stepped forward and tried to cry and said: "Hey! You guys go quickly, if you delay any longer, you won't be able to leave the city today."

Accompanied by the yelling of the coachman, a group of chariots and horses drove along, and Ping Yang, who was sitting in the car, looked at the Wangfu gradually going away, and couldn't help but burst into tears.

Pei Yunqian rode a horse to guard beside the car, he looked at Pingyang and coaxed: "Don't be sad, if you miss home, I will bring you back next year."

Ping Yang tried his tears, half crying and half laughing: "You are now a person with an imperial errand, how can you be so comfortable in the future, how can you just say it back."

Pei Yunqian smiled and said: "Even the emperor can't stop his ministers from visiting their parents at home, hehe, before I go to the northern border, I have to go to the palace to meet the saint. When I see the saint, I have to make an agreement with him in advance and send me to the northern border." Yes, but I must be given family leave to return to Yizhou every year."

Knowing that Pei Yunqian was intentionally teasing her with a joke, Pingyang's heart became a lot brighter when she heard it, and she followed suit and said: "A gentleman's words are hard to follow. If my cousin makes a mistake next year, I will have a good talk with you." .”

Saying that, Ping Yang turned his head to Yu Zhu who was sitting beside her and covered her mouth and smiled, "Yu Zhu, you heard what my cousin said just now, he promised to escort me back to my natal family next year, you have to be a witness for me. "

Yuzhu smiled and said: "This is a crime to offend, Madam made it very difficult for me."

Pingyang looked at Yuzhu and joked, "You are mine."

Yuzhu hurriedly replied: "That's all right, this servant will be the witness." She stretched her head to look at Pei Yunqian who was riding on the horse: "Young Master Biao, Madam is really serious here, you must keep your word. "

A few people chatted and laughed and left the city, and a group of people rushed to the post in the evening.

Pingyang was helped out of the carriage by Yuzhu. Looking at the mountains and rivers of her hometown, she sighed: "When I cross the river tomorrow, I will leave Yizhou completely."

Pei Yunqian said: "After a day's journey, let's go in and have a rest first. I'll ask the post to arrange some delicious food for you. It looks like it's going to rain. Don't come out again after you have eaten."

Yuzhu helped Pingyang into the posthouse, the posthouse was clean and tidy, and the upper room where Pingyang lived was spotless, and all the quilts and utensils were newly replaced.

The post servant smiled and said courteously: "I knew the princess would come to stay, we have already arranged it. The princess will have a sip of tea first, and the old man will bring meals in a while."

After Yuzhu took care of Pingyang to wash, the post servant brought the food, and the old woman babbled as she set the food, "It's very cloudy outside, I'm afraid there will be heavy rain tonight, and there is soup on the stove to keep the princess away from the cold." , After the princess eats the meal, let’s drink a bowl, our place is close to the river, so it’s already humid, if it’s raining, the water vapor will be even greater.”

Pingyang asked: "If it rains, won't the river flood?"

The post servant replied with a smile: "Last year, the imperial court sent an imperial envoy to dredge our waterways in the south of the Yangtze River. The princess just needs to let it go. Even if it rains heavily, we won't cause floods here. In the past, when the rainy season came, we people here were worried all day long, for fear that the Yangtze River would break its embankment and cause our river to flood and destroy our homes. Now we can finally live a peaceful life, hehe, this is really thanks to the current Lord It's a blessing."

"Princess, the old man put this ginger tea here for you, don't forget to drink it after you eat."

Pingyang patiently listened to the old woman's ramblings. She turned her head to look at the gloomy sky outside the window, and murmured: "As long as we don't delay our schedule, I'll leave. After leaving for so long, I also miss my children."
