The High Gate Mistress of Rebirth

To the southeast of the imperial city is where the dignitaries of the capital gather. Among the clusters of tall gated courtyards, there is a house with the longest history. If you count it carefully, this house has a history of more than [-] years. Yes, it was built in the early years of the founding of the Qi Dynasty.

This house is solemn, antique, and full of the ancient charm of a century-old family.

The door of this house is nearly two feet high and three to four feet wide. The door is carved with a tiger, which looks lifelike, majestic and intimidating.In front of the high gate, there stood a pair of stone lions half as tall as a man. Due to the passage of time, the heads of the stone lions had been polished smooth and clean by wind and rain.

This is the tallest gate in the capital, the famous Zhenguo Palace.

In front of the gate of Zhenguo Gongfu is the most prosperous long street. Following the sound of horse hooves, a young man in bright clothes and an angry horse returns.

He was wearing a red brocade robe with green bamboo patterns embroidered on the chest. He wore a purple gold crown that was most popular among the rich and powerful in the capital. He had a handsome face that was almost enchanting.

The young man reined in the horse in front of the mansion. A young man had already greeted him enthusiastically. The young man quickly dismounted and threw the horse's rein to the young man from a distance.

This movement is flowing like clouds and flowing water, and the movements of his hands and feet are filled with a free and uninhibited demeanor.

"Second Young Master, you are back." The person in charge of the door also came out to welcome him, with a smile on his face and greeted the young man enthusiastically.

The young man nodded slightly and asked, "Did mother go to Lord Cai's house today?"

This young man was Li Ping, the second son of the Duke of Zhenguo, the son of Li Xian, the chief minister of the cabinet, and the nephew of the emperor.

The second young master of the palace is madly in love with Cai Yimei, the only daughter of the Guozijian Jiji Restaurant. Because Li Ping has a free and unrestrained personality and is somewhat flamboyant in his actions, everyone in the palace knows about this matter.

When the steward saw the young master asking questions, he smiled quickly and replied: "Madam went to Mr. Cai's house at noon and has returned now."

"I heard that my wife went to propose marriage to the young master. Haha, congratulations to the young master."

"It's hard to say whether it will succeed or not." Although Li Ping said this, there was already a thick smile on the corner of his mouth, and he walked hurriedly towards his mother's Bi Tang residence.

"Mother, I heard that you went to Master Cai's house today?"

As soon as Li Ping stepped across the threshold, he couldn't wait to ask.

When Xu Wanning saw the youngest son, she rolled her eyes at him subconsciously and snorted: "I don't want to, so you have to give up this time."

After saying that, he complained again: "I said it's impossible for someone to like you. You brat, you insist on asking me to propose marriage. Hey! I've never been so embarrassed."

When Li Ping heard this, his dazzling eyes immediately dimmed. He frowned and asked, "But didn't Mrs. Cai clearly agree? Why did she go back on her word?"

Xu Wanning sighed and said, "It's not like the Queen is so troubled by you that she mentioned this matter to Madam Cai. Why did Madam Cai so flatter your Second Aunt's face that she reluctantly agreed."

"Then why did she regret it again?" Li Ping asked.

Xu Wanning said: "Although Mr. Cai and Mrs. Cai agreed, Miss Cai is not willing."

"How could this happen?" Li Ping knitted his brows in anger and said angrily: "I studied in the palace with her, and we have been in love for so many years. I don't believe she doesn't like me."

"shut up!"

Xu Wanning stopped her son, and then said seriously: "You kid, don't talk nonsense about whether you like it or not. If these words spread, wouldn't it damage the reputation of this girl?"

Li Ping was unwilling to give in: "Anyway, since Mrs. Cai agrees, I just don't believe that Mei'er will not want to marry me. No, I have to ask her in person."

With that said, Li Ping raised his feet and was about to walk out, but Xu Wanning pulled him back: "You stinky boy, since I don't want to, why do you ask me something? Don't you think it's embarrassing?" The eldest son is excellent and has always been good. It gave her a good face, and now that her youngest son was looked down upon by others, Xu Wanning was holding back her anger, but seeing the tears shining in her son's eyes, she couldn't help but soften her heart.

"I heard that the Miss Cai family has someone she likes, so she doesn't want to do it. It's not sweet to be too forceful. My son, just listen to your mother and give up on this."

When Li Ping heard this, he looked at his mother and asked, "Who does Meier like?"

Seeing that his mother refused to tell him, he jumped up and said, "If my mother doesn't tell me, is she deliberately trying to kill me?"

Xu Wanning glanced at her son's infatuated look. She sighed helplessly and replied, "Miss Cai has taken a liking to the current beauty queen."

Li Ping asked in surprise: "Is this the one who was born as a merchant and is called Wang Han?"

"What's wrong with the merchant? Who makes people with high academic standards." Xu Wanning rolled her eyes at her son and said: "I heard that Tan Hua Lang is not only talented, but also a talented person. He became a disciple of Mr. Cai after high school. Miss Cai is Master Cai's only daughter, and she is also good at poetry, calligraphy and learning. She is a talented and beautiful woman, so I don't know how well-matched she is."

Li Ping turned pale with anger and glared at Xu Wanning: "Mother, is it me your son, or is the man named Wang your son?"

Xu Wanning hurriedly grabbed her youngest son and comforted her with words: "Mom is not angry with you, but Miss Cai is really not suitable for you. Don't be sad. In the future, Mom will find someone good for you."

Then Xu Xu said: "How about your eldest uncle's third cousin? She has liked to cling to you since she was a child. Now the child is getting more and more beautiful. Her appearance and temperament are not inferior to that of Miss Cai's family. Your eldest aunt was still talking to you a while ago. "Tell me, I want to marry your cousin"

"Mom, don't say any more." Before Xu Wanning finished speaking, Li Ping planned to say: "I don't want anyone except Mei'er."

After that, regardless of Xu Wanning's plea to stay, Li Ping strode out of Bitangju.

Guangyou Temple outside the capital is the most popular.

Today was the first day of the Lunar New Year, and Li Ping arrived early on the only way to Guangyou Temple.

In the distance, he saw a gorgeous car passing by. Although it was far apart, Li Ping recognized it at a glance as the Cai Mansion's carriage and horses.

He quickly rode forward to greet him. When the coachman saw Li Ping, he stopped the carriage and greeted him warmly: "So it's Mr. Li, where did you come from?"

"I went hunting, what a coincidence." Li Ping said a few perfunctory words, then drove his horse to the car and asked Cai Yimei in the car: "You didn't even say hello when you saw me?"

The car window was not opened, but the girl's clear voice came from inside: "I don't want to delay Mr. Li's hunting."

As he said that, he teased: "The hunting ground is in Beicheng, and this side is the temple. Did Mr. Li take the wrong route?"

Li Ping grinned and replied: "Before I kill a living being, I want to go to the Bodhisattva to worship and beg the Bodhisattva to forgive me for my sin of killing living beings."

A disdainful sneer came from the car: "You have not committed many sins. I am afraid that even the Buddha, who saves all sentient beings, would be so angry after hearing your confession."

"Am I so heinous in your eyes?" Li Ping asked angrily.

Yi Mei replied: "I'm going to burn incense to pray for my sick grandmother. I don't have time to quarrel with you here."

With that said, he called the coachman to set off.

Li Ping chased and asked: "I heard that you are getting engaged, is that right?"
