The High Gate Mistress of Rebirth

Chapter 215 The Little Princess of Pingyang

Concubine Lan took her daughter-in-law, Princess Yongqin, and granddaughter Princess Pingyang to the eldest princess's mansion in a carriage.

Fu Xi and his children were waiting at the door eagerly.

Seeing Concubine Lan being helped out of the car by the maid, Fu Xi couldn't wait to greet her with a smile, and called kindly: "Mother Concubine."

After Fu Xi and Emperor Ming lost their mother when they were young, they were raised by the gentle and virtuous Concubine Lan. The kindness of raising her was greater than heaven, and Fu Xi always respected and cherished Concubine Lan.

Concubine Lan is over sixty years old. Although she is well maintained, she cannot help but the passage of time. She was once a beautiful woman in the palace, but now she is showing her age.

When mother and daughter met, they both couldn't help but shed tears.

Fu Xi looked at Concubine Lan's gray hair on her temples and sighed, "It's been more than ten years since I last saw her, and my concubine is getting old."

Concubine Lan caressed her adopted daughter's hand lovingly and said with a smile: "Now that you have wrinkles even at the corners of your eyes, how can your mother-in-law not grow old?"

After the mother and daughter exchanged greetings, Concubine Lan pulled her daughter-in-law and granddaughter, smiled at Fu Xi and said, "You and Qinghe have known each other before, but you don't recognize me as my little granddaughter, right?"

Princess Pingyang gave Fu Xi a graceful greeting: "My niece Pingyang has met the imperial aunt."

When Fu Xi saw the handsome girl with bright eyes and white teeth in front of him, he was surprised and said: "Ah! Is this actually Pingyang? She's grown so big, I really can't recognize her."

Princess Pingyang was not afraid of birth. She smiled sweetly, showing two shallow pear dimples on her cheeks, and said to Fu Xi: "Grandma and mother said that I met the imperial aunt when I was three years old, and now I have

Now that she is sixteen, Aunt Huang will naturally not recognize her."

Fu Xi looked at the handsome niece in front of him, nodded and said: "Among the girls in our Zhao family, my niece from Pingyang is really the most handsome."

Pingyang was not shy after hearing this. She replied cheerfully: "Thank you, Auntie Huang, for your compliment."

Princess Yongqin, who was standing aside, gave her daughter an angry look and said to Fu Xi: "This child has been spoiled by the prince at home, and he has neglected etiquette. Princess, don't be surprised."

Fu Xi and Princess Yong had known each other since they were young, and she replied with a smile: "Seventh brother is such a precious daughter, so naturally he has to be pampered. Besides, it's not a bad thing for a daughter's family to be pampered."

After Fu Xi said this, without waiting for Princess Yong to speak, Ping Yang smiled innocently and said to Fu Xi: "The emperor's aunt is really wise."

When Princess Yongqin saw that her daughter was getting more and more unruly, she scolded her and said, "Don't talk nonsense with your elders."

Forced by her mother's power, Princess Pingyang shrugged her shoulders and stuck out her tongue playfully.

Concubine Lan saw her daughter-in-law being cruel to her granddaughter. She pulled her granddaughter away in distress and replied: "Fu Xi is right. She was grown up under the arrogance of the late emperor. You see, even now, no one has

Dare to bully her. If this girl's family doesn't let her go, there's no guarantee that she will be unpopular when she marries into her husband's family."

Concubine Lan was an extremely gentle and kind person. After hearing her remarks, Fu Xi couldn't help but smile and joked: "Concubine, you have changed a lot now."

Princess Yongqin is the niece of Princess Lan, so the relationship between mother-in-law and daughter-in-law is naturally extremely harmonious.

Seeing that her mother-in-law was protecting her daughter, she helplessly said to Fu Xi, "My daughter has been pampered by the prince and spoiled by her mother-in-law. I really worry about what kind of family will be able to tolerate her in the future."

"If there's no one who can tolerate me, I just won't get married." With the support of his grandmother, Pingyang boldly intervened.

Seeing that her daughter was so unruly, Princess Yongqin didn't scold her this time, but quietly flew towards her and gave her a knife.

Pingyang hurriedly hid behind his grandmother, and when his mother wasn't paying attention, he made a face at her.

After everyone exchanged greetings, Fu Xi enthusiastically pointed out his children to Concubine Lan and others one by one.

When Mrs. Lan met Li Lingjingshu and the others, her eyes couldn't help but moisten.

She sighed with emotion: "Oh my, time is really not forgiving. You have become a mother-in-law in a blink of an eye. The daughter-in-law here is really beautiful. Jin Yan is so old." Concubine Lan glanced at Fu Xi and muttered: "Follow me.

You looked so handsome when you were little."

After praising the two female relatives, Concubine Lan looked at the tall Li Ling beside her: "Brother Ling, when I last saw him, he was only in his teens. Now that he is an adult, he has not changed much.

He's still as cold-faced as he was when he was a kid."

Why is it that the previous ones were all compliments, but nothing has changed since he came here?

After hearing what Concubine Lan said, Li Ling's already cold face became even colder.

After seeing the three juniors, Concubine Lan asked Fu Xi, "Where is your youngest son? Why haven't you seen Brother Xiang?"

Fu Xi replied: "Brother Xiang is on duty in the palace now. There are tributes in the palace now, so he has to come later."

Concubine Lan sighed again: "Oh my, even your youngest son can now work as an errand, how can I not grow old?"

Just as he was saying this, a man on horseback in the distance came running towards us.

The third girl said in surprise: "It's the third brother who is here."

After a while, Li Xiang rushed to the front. He turned over and dismounted, raised his eyes and glanced at everyone, and then bowed directly to Concubine Lan with a very expressive look: "My grandson has met the emperor's grandmother."

When Mrs. Lan met Li Xiang, who was elegant and polite, the smile on her face reached straight to her eyes.

She quickly helped Li Xiang up, couldn't help but look him up and down, and couldn't help but praise: "Brother Xiang is so handsome, he is such a handsome boy."

Li Xiang had just arrived from the palace, and before he had time to change out of Yulin Lang's official uniform, he was wearing a red red flying fish pattern palace uniform, which made his face look like a crown jewel, and his posture was as tall and straight as if he was relaxed.

I can fully afford Mrs. Lan’s compliment.

Li Xiangjun had a warm smile on his face and said humbly to Concubine Lan: "The Queen's grandmother is so complimentary."

The more Concubine Lan looked at Li Xiang, the more she fell in love with him. She kept saying, "This child is handsome and has a gentle temperament. He is really rare."

As she said that, she looked at Fu Xi beside her and asked, "I remember Brother Xiang is half a year older than Pingyang, right?"

Fu Xi replied: "Exactly, they are half a year apart in age."

Concubine Lan waved to her granddaughter: "Pingyang, come here to meet your cousin from the Li family."

Pingyang no longer looked as naughty as before. She walked forward slowly and gave Li Xiang a smile: "Pingyang has met my cousin."

Li Xiang returned the courtesy to Pingyang: "I've met my cousin."

In the vast night sky, there were dots of snow foam floating in the sky. For Pingyang, who was born and raised in the south, the winter in Beijing was really cold. But now, she looked at the warm smile on the handsome young man's face.

, I just feel a warmth reaching the bottom of my heart.

The sun stood in the night, and although my sleeves were covered with wind and snow, I didn't feel cold anymore.
