The High Gate Mistress of Rebirth

When they arrived in the imperial city, Brother Ping and Xu Wanning exchanged haha, and then went straight to the upper study.

Brother Ping had been selected by Li Ling to be the prince's companion since he was a child, and he had been studying in the upper study.

Xu Wanning told her son: "You should learn from the Tai Tuo in a good way, don't be mischievous."

Brother Ping agreed happily, but his steps became faster, and he disappeared from sight in the blink of an eye.

Only then did Xu Wanning look back, and sighed slightly: "This child has been naughty since he was a child, and he is still the same at this age, and he is two months older than the prince. Not to mention his knowledge, he doesn't even have half of his composure. "

Pingyang then sent Sister Qing to go to the study with Hou's female officer at the gate of the palace, and casually said to Xu Wanning: "The crown prince has a heavy burden on him, so naturally he can't relax. Brother Ping also has Brother Kun who is capable. Brother, it’s up to me, so it doesn’t matter if you want to play a little bit.”

Although the eldest son, Brother Kun, is already excellent, mothers naturally hope that every child is outstanding.

Xu Wanning smiled: "I don't expect him to be more talented, but I'm afraid that I will let down my second brother's painstaking efforts for him. In terms of qualifications, this kid is not qualified to go to the study."

Ping Yang replied: "Children have their own good fortune, sister-in-law don't have to worry about it."

"Let's go, let's go to see the empress." After saying that, Ping Yang was about to leave with Xu Wanning on his arm.

Li Xiang followed two steps, and said to Pingyang: "I'll go to the imperial study to meet the saint, wait until noon, let's go back together."

Pingyang didn't look back, she walked forward with Xu Wanning's arm, and said indifferently: "We don't know when we will return, maybe I will wait for Sister Qing to take her back after school, and go after you meet the saint." Come on, don't wait for me."

Li Xiang replied: "It's okay, I don't have anything to worry about today, so I'll just wait for Sister Qing with you."

Pingyang didn't say much, Li Xiang followed Pingyang and sent her and Xu Wanning to the gate of the inner palace, before he turned and walked towards Qinzheng Hall.

Xu Wanning looked back at Li Xiang's back, then looked at Pingyang and said, "The third brother has really changed a lot now."

Pingyang smiled, and said lightly: "He can make any changes, but he has to be promoted to work because of the supervision of the second brother, the elder brother who is the emperor."

"I'm not talking about him." Xu Wanning looked at Pingyang and said quickly, "I think the third brother loves you even more."

"I didn't know, I thought you were newly married."

Even when they were newly married, he didn't see him clinging to her.

Pingyang smiled wryly, and asked, "Brother Kun's marriage, I think you can discuss it with your empress."

Xu Wanning replied; "I think so too. There are many matchmakers for Brother Kun. I have seen those noble girls, but although they look good, I can't always trust myself. You know that I am I don’t really know how to look at people.”

The two sisters-in-law talked and laughed all the way into the Jiaofang Hall. Jing Shu was waiting for the two of them. When they saw her, they greeted them with smiles.

Several people greeted each other and took their seats. After Pingyang went to Yizhou for more than a month, Jing Shu looked at her and said with a smile: "Pingyang has returned to her mother's house, and she has grown a lot."

Pingyang covered his mouth with a smile, and replied: "My natal family has many relatives, one treats one meal and the other treats them. After every meal, I am full. How can I not be fat."

Xu Wanning joked: "It's okay even if you get fat, but it won't be so easy after you return home. You can't worry about losing weight with all the big and small things you are busy with every day."

Ping Yang curled his lips and joked: "Second sister-in-law, just listen, but she has only been asked to help me with my affairs for a few days, and she is here to work hard."

"Madam, please serve tea." Accompanied by a voice like a silver bell, Xu Wanning and Pingyang's eyes coincidently focused on the little female official who came forward to serve tea.

Xu Wanning said quickly: "This little girl is really born with water."

The female officer praised by Xu Wanning was none other than Dong Qing.

Dong Qing saluted slightly, and said with a smile: "Thank you Madam for your compliment."

Until the little girl bowed respectfully and retreated, Xu Wanning's eyeballs were still glued to her, and she turned her head to Jingshu and said, "Whose girl is this little lady, she is so eye-catching!" gone."

That's the person who was once favored by the empress, can he not be eye-catching?
Jing Shu replied with a smile: "His father used to be the governor of Jizhou, named Liu Ningyuan. He was transferred back to Beijing three years ago, and now he is serving as the deputy envoy of the Xuncheng Division."

Xu Wanning suddenly said: "It turns out that she is the daughter of Mrs. Zhen's family. I never thought that he, a general from the Liu family, could raise such a beautiful daughter."

Ping Yang smiled and said: "What you said, isn't our family also a family of military generals? What's the matter, the daughter of a military officer should be a vulgar person?"

Xu Wanning smiled: "That's not true, it's just that I have never seen a military officer's daughter like this child."

As she said that, Xu Wanning looked at Jingshu and asked tentatively, "Why didn't such a good child be sent to the East Palace?"

Xu Wanning is a straightforward person, even if she tries to test people, she can't make any twists and turns.

Pingyang saw Xu Wanning's heart, and just sat on the side covering his mouth and laughing.

A delicate person like Jingshu couldn't see what Xu Wanning meant, she didn't go around in circles, and replied truthfully: "I did put her in the East Palace to be Brother Xuan's school book, but this child has a cold temper. , I was not used to being served by too many people, so I sent her out."

When Xu Wanning heard this, she understood in her heart.

It can be seen that brother Xuan didn't like this girl anymore.

The Xuncheng Secretary is an important defense for guarding the capital, and even the deputy envoy is a first-rank official. This girl is not low-born, and has a good appearance and temperament. If she can get into the eyes of the prince, she will not be able to sit in the back seat in the future. , being a concubine is not a problem.

Xu Wanning couldn't help but sighed: "The prince can't even look at such a pretty girl, but what else do you want?"

Jing Shu smiled, and replied: "The matter of men and women is about fate, and you can't force it."

Xu Wanning was surprised and said: "The prince is almost at the age of sleeping, don't you have to make up for it?"

The prince's servants and concubines are two different things. The prince's servants, marriage, and selection of concubines are not only family affairs, but also state affairs.

After all, these women shoulder the responsibility of giving birth to the emperor's heirs, and they are related to the country and the country, which is not comparable to the powerful families.

Jing Shu said helplessly: "The last time I talked to Brother Xuan, this child actually said that he didn't want to sleep with him. His temperament is the same as that of your husband. Since he doesn't want to, I have nothing to do with it."

Pingyang heard the words and replied: "Even if Brother Xuan is unwilling, I'm afraid this matter will not be able to pass the ambiguity. Not to mention the people from Yushitai, even the hurdle of the Ministry of Rites, they will not be able to pass."

Xu Wanning said: "Since His Majesty ascended the throne, have there been few people advising him to expand the harem? Isn't the harem still only one younger brother and sister now?"

After all, Pingyang is a member of the royal family. Of course, she understands this matter better than Xu Wanning. She replied: "Second brother was raised in the palace after all. Brother Xuan is different."

It is indeed different.

Although Li Ling was named Emperor Ming and the eldest princess, he is the son of the Zhao family who is rooted in Zheng Miaohong, but he was not born in the court, and he ascended to the throne after undergoing a palace change. He may disobey some ancestral rules, but for the young Brother Xuan, who was established as the prince, is different.
