The High Gate Mistress of Rebirth

After the old lady rested, Li Xiang invited his brother and sister-in-law to the main hall to talk.Zhao Xuan and Mrs. Xie were also there. The husband and wife respectfully saluted after meeting the emperor. When they learned that they were here to visit the old lady, Jing Shu showed a smile on her face. Looking at Mrs. Xie's swollen belly, she said with concern : "It looks like the fetus in Mrs. Shizi's womb is already seven months old?"

With a gentle smile on Xie's face, she replied: "Your Majesty has good eyesight, this concubine will be seven months old in ten days."

Jing Shu said with a smile: "I heard that Mrs. Shizi has already had five children. You are really blessed."

Mrs. Xie hurriedly replied: "These children are so skinny that they are not worth mentioning."

He smiled and greeted, "We were supposed to go back to Yizhou a few years ago, but we suddenly became pregnant. Now that spring has begun and the weather is getting warmer, the concubine and his son are going back to Yizhou in a few days." , I didn’t expect to have the honor to meet His Majesty and Empress Jinmian before leaving.”

Jing Shu was a kind person, and she replied after hearing the words: "Madam is very heavy now, why don't you return after the baby is born, the journey is far away, and you are pregnant, how can you bear it. "

Naturally, Mrs. Xie didn't want to tell the truth, so she just replied: "I have been away from home for a long time, and I am also thinking about those naughty children at home."

After finishing speaking, she glanced at Li Ling who was sitting at the top without saying a word with the corner of her eye.

Although Mrs. Xie kept her duty and did not dare to overstep, Li Ling couldn't see what she was thinking, so he interjected: "Even if we can't leave the family, it won't be a few months. Cousin is pregnant, and we should wait for the child to be born." Come down and go."

Zhao Xuan has always been very frightened by this cold and majestic emperor. Ever since he met the emperor, he didn't even dare to lift his head. His hands were covered in cold sweat from the nervousness. Now he was quite surprised to hear the emperor's favor, so he raised his head quietly. Come, glanced at the emperor, then quickly looked away, only looking at his wife at the side.

Mrs. Xie showed a calm look. This time, she replied truthfully: "Your Majesty is now purging the rebellious king. After all, the prince and concubine have special status. If they stay in Beijing for a long time, I am afraid it will cause criticism. The left and right children have already passed the first three years." It’s been a month, just be careful on the way.”

A smile appeared on Li Ling's face: "Cousin, I'm worrying too much. If you, Prince Yong's Mansion, can take the lead in the withdrawal of the feudal clan, I will naturally understand your loyalty."

He said again: "Cousin's health is important, it won't be a few months, after giving birth to a child, I will return to the fief."

Both his wife and concubine were pregnant, so Zhao Xuan naturally didn't want to take any risks, and wished to wait until the children were all born before returning home.Hearing that the emperor said it sincerely, but Zhao Xuan still had no idea in his heart. He was not paying attention when he saw Mrs. Xie winking at him. On the ground, began to thank you.

Until sitting in the carriage back home, Zhao Xuan was still in a daze.

"Ma'am, are we really going to wait for the baby to be born in Beijing?"

Xie looked at her husband: "Since the emperor has spoken, he naturally wants to stay. Do you think I'm willing to walk hard with my big belly?"

Zhao Xuan was naturally unwilling.

He stared at his wife, and said in a low voice: "Do you think the emperor is testing us? Why is my heart always up and down, hey! Ever since I saw the emperor's iron-blooded withdrawal of the domain, I have no peace of mind But, right now, I feel terrified when I see the holy face."

Mrs. Xie patted her husband's hand, and said in a warm voice: "Don't worry, I can see that the emperor is not just pretending to be with us. Although His Majesty is tough, he is also a magnanimous person."

Zhao Xuan took his wife's hand, frowned, and sighed, "Ma'am, do you think I'm too timid?"

Xie was overjoyed: "I heard that King Li has already retreated to Wangfu City. The emperor is so powerful, who can not be afraid. As the son of a prince, it is normal for my husband to have fear in his heart."

Zhao Xuan curled up and leaned his head on his wife's shoulder: "Ma'am, you are really a person with ideas. Without you, I really don't know what would happen."

Zhao Xuan was tall, and a big man leaned on the woman's shoulder, looking very funny.

Mrs. Xie pushed her husband: "Impressive son, with this appearance, I am not afraid that people will see the joke."

"It's just the two of us in the car, who can see it?" Zhao Xuan moved his body and changed into a slightly more comfortable position, but he didn't move away, still leaning against his wife in such a funny way: "Qingqing, after all these years, Thanks to you."

Mrs. Xie didn't like being so greasy and crooked, so he pushed Zhao Xuan away forcefully: "Don't do this, it makes me get goosebumps."

Zhao Xuan took her into his arms and kissed her forehead again and again.

That night, the old lady of Zhen Guogong's mansion passed away peacefully.

This woman who came from a wealthy family, married into a noble family, enjoyed all the wealth and honor in the world, and also experienced heart-wrenching pains, after hearing the solemn promise made by the emperor's grandson, she no longer had any worries, so she went peacefully. up.

Li Ling and Jing Shu had already fallen asleep. When they heard the news of the old lady's death, they were startled.

Jing Shu cried.

Li Ling sighed, "I had such a premonition when I saw my grandmother today."

The husband and wife no longer feel sleepy, but it is already midnight, and it is impossible for the emperor and empress to leave the imperial city.

It was the assistant housekeeper and Madam Xu who was beside the old lady who entered the palace to report the news.

Of course, it was impossible for the two of them to enter the inner palace, they could only pass in news from outside the imperial city, and then the news spread to the empress' bedroom door by door.

Li Ling got up, Jing Shu put on his coat for him, and the couple left the inner hall, Li Ling ordered: "Go and invite Steward Fu and Madam Xu, I have something to ask."

As the emperor, it is impossible to leave the palace at will. Knowing that Li Ling knew that the old lady had passed away, the government must be anxious, so they ordered Madam Xu to come here.

Because the old lady passed away in the middle of the night, Nanny Xu stayed by her side all the time.

Li Ling saw the nanny and asked, "Did grandma leave any words before she died?"

Madam Xu replied truthfully: "The old lady was in a good mood when she saw the emperor and the empress during the day, and she ate a bowl of porridge at night. These days, Mrs. Shizi, Mrs. Da and the new young lady have been guarding by turns. The wives came over again, but the old lady insisted on letting them all go back, saying that she was already well and wanted to sleep peacefully, so that the granddaughter-in-law and great-granddaughter-in-law could also go back and sleep soundly. Everyone saw that the old lady was much more energetic. I thought she was really getting better, but who knew that after sleeping until midnight, the old lady woke up suddenly, and the servants came up to her and asked her if she needed anything, and she said, 'I'm leaving.'”

Xu Momo wiped away her tears, choked up and said: "The servant was about to call someone, but the old lady stopped me, she just said that she wanted to leave quietly, and she didn't want to disturb the family."

Li Ling sighed and asked, "What did grandma say?"

Mother Xu replied: "I didn't say anything, I just murmured 'Pingyang is a good wife' and left."
