Rebirth of the High Gate Mistress

Chapter 331 Another daughter

Spring passed and autumn came, and Pingyang’s baby was born a month early before it reached full term. It was a girl again.

Although the old lady also longed for a son, she still loved the fourth sister because she already had three great-grandchildren. She named the fourth sister Wan Jieer herself. Pingyang was pregnant with the baby in a hurry, and the pregnancy was very stressful. The eldest princess was naturally overjoyed to see that mother and daughter were safe, and she didn't care whether it was a grandson or a granddaughter.

 Only Li Xiang and Ping Yang were not very happy.

As usual, Jingshu hosted the fourth sister's full moon party in a lively manner. After the guests had dispersed, Li Xiang returned to Xianglin Garden, glanced at Pingyang's unhappy look, and advised: "Let your daughter be your daughter, don't keep thinking about it like this. We are still young and we don’t have to worry about not having a son in the future.”

Pingyang said with a dull face: "How can it be so easy? Didn't the imperial doctor say that my energy and blood have been damaged this time? I'm afraid I won't be able to conceive again in the next three to five years. Now I have an eldest brother, a second brother and a second sister-in-law." Son, but our two children in a row are girls."

As she said that, Pingyang couldn't help but feel depressed again. She used to have everything she needed, but maybe her good luck had been used up in the first half of her life. Now she was suddenly inferior to the people around her, so she was told to endure it. I couldn't help but feel a gap in my heart.

Li Xiang doesn't hope that this baby will be a boy. If he has a legitimate son, he can discuss with his wife to let Jiao Xing stop taking the medicine. But things didn't work out. Not only was Pingyang's baby a daughter, but she was also unable to conceive again in the next few years. This still meant that he couldn't go to Jiao Xing's place often. After all, the Bizi Tang thing was If you eat too much of cold food, not only will your body be unable to bear it, but it will also easily cause infertility in women.

Although Li Xiang was not happy, seeing Pingyang like this, he could only endure it and comforted his wife: "There is nothing to compare with this. The girl is also very nice and considerate."

Li Xiang comforted his wife and left the house, then entered the courtyard in a depressed manner.

Today is the fourth sister's full moon. Jiao Xing did not expect that Li Xiang would come over. When she saw him, she said in a bluff: "If you are not in the main room with my wife, what are you doing here?"

Li Xiang silently hugged Jiao Xing and said in a low voice: "It seems that you will have to take those bitter medicines that hurt your body from now on."

Jiao Xing patted Li Xiang and replied: "Don't think about this anymore. I am very satisfied to be like you now."

Li Xiang just hugged Jiao Xing silently without saying a word. The two hugged each other in silence for a long time before Jiao Xing urged Li Xiang: "Today is the fourth sister's full moon. It's not good for you to be out for a long time. Go back and accompany my wife." stop"

Li Xiang then let go of Jiao Xing, nodded to her indifferently, and walked toward the main room in despair.

Murong Lizhu's pregnancy period was similar to that of Pingyang. More than two months after Pingyang gave birth to her fourth sister's son, Murong Lizhu also successfully gave birth to her and Jiang Youchen's first child, also a daughter.

On the day when the baby was one month old, both Jingshu and the old lady came to visit.

Even though she was just out of confinement, Murong Lizhu looked very good, and the little girl who was as white as a porcelain doll was also born fresh and beautiful.

Jiang Youchen on the side simply couldn't put down his little daughter.

When the old lady saw that Jiang Youchen took good care of her mother and daughter, she was naturally happy and said with a smile: "Beijing is far away from Chaozhou Mountain, otherwise the in-laws would be very happy to see this lovely little grandson of Yuxue. "Murong Lizhu replied: "When the weather gets warm in spring next year, we will go back with our children."

Murong Lizhu was supposed to stay in the court after she got married. Jiang Youchen has been carrying her with him for almost two years regardless of the rules. Now he has a child. The old lady is worried that her grandniece will not be able to return to the capital after returning to Chaozhou this time. So he asked tentatively: "You haven't been back to your hometown for more than a year. It's better to stay for a while when you go back this time to spend time with your parents and brothers at home."

Jiang Youchen replied: "At most I can stay at home for a month. I am busy with errands in Beijing, so I won't be able to delay for too long."

 The old lady turned to Murong Lizhu and asked, "What about you? But do you want to come back with me?"

Without waiting for Murong Lizhu's reply, Jiang Youchen said: "Lizhu will naturally follow her back. If she stays in Chaozhou, the child will also have to stay with her. The child is still young, so her parents must be by her side to accompany her. "

When he first got married, Jiang Youchen couldn't bear to leave Murong Lizhu alone in his hometown. Now that he has a precious daughter, he is even more reluctant to leave her.

After hearing this, the old lady was naturally happy in her heart, but she couldn't show it on her face. She just muttered: "It's good for you young three to stay together, but you broke the rules after all. You must do it when you return in the spring." It’s better to spend time with your parents and elders.”

Murong Lizhu used to be the most observant person, but now she is married to a man she wants. She has become more courageous, and she has made plans to stay with Jiang Youchen all the time. After hearing this, she only echoed: "My aunt said You're right, since I married into my husband's family, I haven't shown any filial piety around the elderly, and I feel very sorry about it."

After hearing this, Jiang Youchen said: "There are many ways to show filial piety, and it doesn't necessarily have to be by staying with your parents. It is naturally appropriate for your parents to have two sisters-in-law taking care of them."

As he spoke, he looked at Murong Lizhu and said, "Don't worry about this. I will explain it to my parents when I get back."

It would be best to have Jiang Youchen support his niece and grandniece. In this way, even if the Jiang family's parents were to blame, they would not be able to blame Murong Lizhu. After listening to Jiang Youchen's words, the old lady became more obedient, and she recognized her niece and grandson-in-law even more in her heart. She even looked at her sister who had just turned one month old and loved him more and more.

The old lady picked up the little girl with a smile on her face and said curiously: "This child was born so well, has she given a name yet?"

Murong Lizhu shook her head, then looked at Jing Shu and said, "My cousin is our great matchmaker, why don't we just ask her to name our child."

Both Jiang Youchen and Murong Lizhu were well-read in poetry and books, and with the old lady as an elder present, Jingshu naturally couldn't support them. She quickly declined and said, "I'm not good at talking about names. My two Your cousin gave birth to all these children."

Murong Lizhu knew that Jing Shu was the most attentive person. After hearing her words, she also guessed what she was thinking, so she stopped forcing herself and looked at the old lady with a smile: "Then let my aunt give it to us." Just give the child a name."

This child is the flesh and blood of the Jiang family. If the elders give the name, it should be done by the Jiang family’s parents. The old lady knows the importance and naturally will not do such a thing. “You all have ink in your stomach. Naturally, the name given to my sister is better than that of an old woman like me."

As she said that, the old lady put the little baby on the bed, took out a rich jade bracelet from her sleeve pocket and placed it beside the child. She smiled and said: "This is the dowry my grandmother gave me when I got married. Although it is not a strange thing, it was handed down from our ancestors of the Murong family, so I will give her to my sister."
