The High Gate Mistress of Rebirth

Chapter 158 Mei Niang’s instigation

After dinner, Li Xian took his brother and sister back to Bitangju. As soon as they entered the courtyard, they saw Xu Wanning returning from martial arts practice in the back garden wearing a smart outfit and carrying a sword.

When Li Xian saw his wife looking like this, his handsome face couldn't help but darken. He handed the children to the wet nurse and followed his wife into the house.

After entering the room, Xu Wanning handed the sword in her hand to the little girls. She sat down on the chair, poured herself a cup of tea, raised her head and drank it all. Then she looked at Li Xian and asked: "What are you doing?"

You come back with a cold face, who are you showing it to?"

Li Xian sincerely despised Xu Wanning's rude style. According to his aesthetics, a woman should be dignified, elegant, gentle and virtuous, and smile without showing her teeth.

He walked up to his wife and said solemnly: "You are now the wife of an important minister in the cabinet. Can you stop wielding swords and swords all day long? What will it look like if word gets out?"

Xu Wanning snorted coldly and replied: "In the previous dynasty, Emperor Wu had a concubine who could also wield a sword. Emperor Wu even praised the concubine for her unique style. He even took her to the battlefield when he went on an expedition. I am just a minister's wife, so I can't do that.

The sword? What’s the point?”

Li Xian interrupted his wife impatiently and said, "Stop arguing with me."

He rolled his eyes at Xu Wanning again, and then said, "Let me ask you, my mother invited you over for dinner today, why didn't you go?"

Xu Wanning snorted coldly: "If your mother sincerely wanted me to come over to have dinner, why didn't you send someone to call me earlier? I have put the food on the table here, and you have also put it on the table over there, so you can let me know.

, what does this mean?”

Li Xian scolded with a cold face: "She is the mother and you are the daughter-in-law. Even if she does something imprudent, you should take care of it. The old man invites you to have a meal. If you don't go, it will be rude.

Do you understand?"

Seeing his wife's disapproval, Li Xian stood up angrily, paced back and forth on the ground, pointed at Xu Wanning and scolded: "Tell you, Mrs. Xu, I am now a minister in the cabinet, how many pairs of eyes are staring at me,

You are my wife, you must be careful at all times to avoid being caught by others, do you understand?"

Xu Wanning snorted: "Why don't you tell your mother to be more cautious? Since you entered the cabinet, the most high-profile person in this family is your mother. She yells and drinks all day long, and even asks for help from a distance away.

This or that, if it weren't for the pressure from the second younger brother and sister, Song Le Hall would have passed An Xi Hall."

She rolled her eyes at Li Xian: "Aren't you afraid of being caught?"

Li Xian swung his sleeves impatiently and said with a face: "She is my mother, and filial piety comes first. Even if she has done enough, who can say anything?"

"On the other hand, you should be more careful with me and don't cause any trouble for me."

Xu Wanning was too lazy to talk to him anymore. She got up and went to the inner room: "I'm tired and going to sleep. You should leave quickly."

Li Xian glanced at his wife's neither salty nor bland appearance, swung his sleeves angrily, and said: "It's really rotten wood that cannot be carved!" Then he left Bi Tangju angrily.

He stood at the door for a while. He wanted to take a shortcut and go to the two aunts across the courtyard to stay, but when he thought that the two aunts were always following Xu Wanning's lead and were submissive in front of him, he didn't like it, so he gave up the idea.

.

He thought for a moment, then raised his legs and headed towards Chenxi Pavilion again.

When passing by Guo Cuiyan's Lixiang Courtyard, his lovely cousin's appearance when he was drinking at Songletang today suddenly appeared in his mind. Li Xian shook his head slightly and moved his steps into Chenxi Pavilion.

Mei Niang didn't expect that Li Xian would come over tonight. Since Li Xian joined the cabinet, he didn't come to her often.

Mei Niang hurriedly greeted him, ordered people to make tea and helped Li Xian change his clothes. She served him very attentively and thoughtfully.

Li Xian sat down on the chair and raised his eyes to see that Mei Niang was wearing a white undershirt today. He remembered that Guo Cuiyan was also wearing white at his mother's place today, but Guo Cuiyan had a blue temperament, so white looked good on her.

Adding to her elegance, Mei Niang has a charming and enchanting temperament, and wearing white is naturally not as good as Guo Cuiyan.

He stretched out his hand to pull her into his arms and said calmly: "The white color doesn't suit you very well, you are more suitable for the pink color."

Mei Niang is the best at understanding men's thoughts. How could she not know that Guo Cuiyan likes to wear white dresses the most. Hearing what Li Xian said, Mei Niang smiled and said, "I went to talk to my cousin today."

*** raised his eyebrows: "Did you go to her place? What did you talk about?"

Mei Niang replied: "We didn't talk about anything. It's just that every time I mention your husband, my cousin always praises me."

Li Xian said "Oh?" and motioned for Mei Niang to continue.

Mei Niang said sweetly: "My cousin praised me for being gentle and capable. He joined the cabinet at a young age and his future will be limitless."

She put her arms around Li Xian's neck and continued: "My cousin has a good life, a gentle temper, and is good at playing music, chess, calligraphy and painting. She is really a rare and good woman."

Li Xian smiled and said, "It's rare to hear you praise others."

Mei Niang replied: "I don't like to praise others because I didn't meet a good person at that time. I really admire a good person like my cousin."

As she spoke, she sighed leisurely: "Hey! I don't know who can be so lucky to marry such a good person."

Li Xian cleared his throat and said calmly: "My cousin is not in a hurry to get married."

Mei Niang pretended to be confused and asked: "Why is this? Could it be that my wife likes my cousin and doesn't plan to marry her off so early?"

Li Xian said perfunctorily: "Maybe that's it."

Mei Niang's eyes lit up, she looked at Li Xian and said: "Since my wife likes my cousin so much, and my cousin is so nice, why don't I get the best of both worlds by keeping her by my side? In this way, my wife's feelings will be met, and my wife will

I always have conflicts with my wife,

With your cousin by your side, your wife can be happy, which will naturally make you worry less. Secondly, your cousin's style in the forest can also have the same interests as your husband, and save him from regrets.

There is no beauty around me who can add fragrance to my red sleeves."

Li Xian hugged Mei Niang and said with a hahaha smile: "You have become so generous. When did you become so virtuous and wanted to help me name my beauty?"

Mei Niang said coquettishly: "Of course I don't want my husband to have another woman by his side, but my cousin is such a good person. It's a pity to marry someone else in vain. Rather than giving someone else an advantage, it's better to leave her to my husband for his pleasure."

"

Li Xian stretched out his long arms and carried his beloved concubine onto the bed.

This night, Li Xian was in great spirits and treated Mei Niang like he was back to the time when he first got her.

Although Mei Niang knew clearly in her mind that this man's body wanted her, what she was thinking about was someone else. She protected her slightly swollen belly and still cooperated in every possible way, serving Li Xian very obediently.
