The High Gate Mistress of Rebirth

Chapter 572
Two days later, the county lord of Yucheng came to the palace.

When the old friends met, they sighed to each other for a while: "I heard that you have five children." Glancing at Mrs. Xie's slightly protruding belly, she said enviously, "You were shrewd when you were in the boudoir, but after you get married, you are still so capable."

Mrs. Xie smiled and replied, "I can't do anything about it. There are many children, and I'm exhausted."

After exchanging pleasantries between the two, Mrs. Xie went straight to the point and said to Yu Cheng, "I'm heavy now, and I only brought a concubine from Yizhou, and I'm pregnant now. I haven't been back to Beijing for many years, and I don't know each other well. I invite you here this time, just to ask you to help me find a good man."

Yucheng's husband is lustful, in order not to let those concubines of various backgrounds threaten his status, over the years, Yucheng has been sparing no effort to cultivate beauties, and then put them beside her husband.

Although my own people are favored, at least there are no other dirty things.

When Mrs. Xie said this, Yu Cheng understood, and she asked: "I have a few unused ones in my hand, and they are all placed in the other garden for training. What do you want?"

When Mrs. Xie and Yu Cheng were in the boudoir, she didn't say what she wanted, but said: "I mentioned in the letter to you before that my husband had a childhood sweetheart, and I never allowed her to conceive. Now she is pregnant by accident, and this is the one we brought to Beijing. There is nothing to fear about this woman, but I am pregnant now, and I don't want to worry too much about these things."

Yu Cheng is also a shrewd person. When she heard this, she understood it, and said: "Don't worry, I will let them send someone tomorrow, and I will keep you satisfied."

Sure enough, as soon as Mrs. Xie had breakfast the next day, Yu Cheng ordered the steward of the mansion to send someone over.

The girl entered with the maidservant, Xie looked up and couldn't help but gasped.

With peach cheeks and slender waist, eyes full of spring water, she is a natural beauty.

People are also extremely well-behaved. When they see Mrs. Xie, they kneel respectfully and salute.

Xie asked her to stand up and asked, "What's your name?"

The girl replied: "When the county lord took in his concubine, he gave her the name Taoyao."

Recipe, Shining.

Xie smiled: "It's a good name."

He asked again: "Yucheng gave you to me, are you willing?"

Tao Yao replied: "The county lord has made it clear to my concubine that I am willing to follow Madam."

Mrs. Xie never employed people for nothing, she asked, "What do you ask for?"

Tao Yao replied: "My concubine's biggest wish is to one day get rid of her humble status and get a free life."

The requirements are not low, but Mrs. Xie likes such a clear-headed person, she said: "If this is in Beijing, it will be difficult, but when you and I return to Yizhou, I will naturally have a way to help you achieve your wish."

Tao Yao thanked Mrs. Xie, and said: "I am willing to do the work of a dog for my wife."

Everyone is a sensible person, and everyone takes what they need.

After the words were finished, Xie ordered people to take Taoyao down and resettle her.

One day, Zhao Xuan passed Xie's side for dinner, and the husband and wife sat down opposite each other. Zhao Xuan was just about to talk to his wife about the withdrawal of the domain, when he raised his eyes and saw the maid standing behind his wife, he was stunned.

Not to mention a man, even Mrs. Xie was amazed when she saw Taoyao for the first time.

Xie glanced at her husband, she sneered in her heart, but didn't show it on her face, she just asked: "What do you want to tell me?"

Zhao Xuan hurriedly looked away, settled his mind, and replied: "I still heard about the withdrawal of the feudal clan." While talking to his wife, he couldn't help but look at Taoyao from the corner of his mouth: "I heard that King Li of Southern Xinjiang accepted the imperial edict but refused to carry it out. Ahem, this is a blatant disobedience to the imperial order."

Xie said: "Southern Xinjiang is adjacent to the Gaoshan Kingdom. Maybe the Li King has something to rely on."

Zhao Xuan put down the jade chopsticks, lowered his voice and said in surprise: "You mean, King Li colluded with the enemy?"

Xie said lightly: "I'm guessing too, otherwise how could he have the guts to resist the order."

Zhao Xuan sighed, and murmured: "I'm afraid the emperor won't spare him." Then he looked at his wife and asked, "What do you think?"

Mrs. Xie nodded, and replied: "These are not our business, but now it is the end of the year, if the emperor wants to raise troops, it will be the end of the year."

As she said that, she stroked her slightly swollen belly: "I will be three months old after this year, and the fetus has stabilized. When the spring warms up, let's go back to Yizhou as soon as possible. During this critical period, we should stay less in Beijing. It is better to be cautious."

"Yes, yes, yes." Zhao Xuan picked up a chopstick for his wife: "I think so too."

Just finished eating, Meng Shi ordered someone to invite Zhao Xuan again, saying that his stomach was uncomfortable.

For Meng's methods, Xie was never at ease, and today she is even more eager to urge Zhao Xuan: "You go over quickly, don't let her come over and disturb you."

As usual, Zhao Xuan would have been in a hurry to go, but today he procrastinated and insisted on drinking tea with Mrs. Xie before leaving.

Xie smirked inwardly, and didn't say anything more, just let Taoyao make tea.

While Zhao Xuan was drinking tea, he came to the courtyard twice to invite him, and then he reluctantly got up, and when he was about to go out, he couldn't help but glance back at Taoyao who was standing beside his wife.

After everyone left, only Mrs. Xie and Ah Mu were left in the room, and Ah Mu sighed: "There is no man who doesn't love sex."

Xie sneered: "I don't know if there are, I haven't come across them before."

Ah Mu asked, "When is Madam planning to give that woman to your son?"

Mrs. Xie put down the teacup and said calmly: "Let's keep him entertained for two days before we talk about it." Then he snorted coldly: "Then Mrs. Meng will pick apart people, so I won't?"

Mrs. Meng, who was being talked about by Mrs. Xie, was sulking in the room. She was happy when she saw Zhao Xuan finally came, but she deliberately turned her head away and refused to talk to her.

Normally, Zhao Xuan would have stepped forward to coax her, but today he sat on the sidelines, looking thoughtful.

Seeing that Zhao Xuan was acting abnormally, Mrs. Meng was puzzled, and she couldn't be more hypocritical, so she turned her head and asked Zhao Xuan, "What's wrong with you?"

Zhao Xuan quickly collected his thoughts and replied, "It's nothing, I'm just a little tired."

As he said that, he called the maidservant to come in and help him change and wash his clothes. After tidying up, he went to bed.

Seeing that he was not in the mood, Meng thought that he had encountered something unsatisfactory outside, and didn't take it very seriously, so she followed him into bed.

After the lights were turned off, the room was plunged into darkness, but Zhao Xuan opened his eyes, and what still appeared in his mind was the gorgeous little girl standing beside his wife.

He simply turned over and lay on his side with his back to Meng Shi. Zhao Xuan let out a breath secretly, forcing himself not to think about it, but he forced himself to do so, and the little girl burrowed into his mind uncontrollably.
