The High Gate Mistress of Rebirth

Before Erlang was one month old, Li Xian returned from his errands.

Li Xian had already received a letter from home stating that his wife had given birth to a baby. After finishing his errands and returning to Beijing, he rushed straight to the house without stopping. He strode towards Bitangju, but was stopped by his mother on the way.

"You don't want to see me when you come back. Where are you going?" Mrs. Guo stopped her son who was walking in a hurry and asked with a drooping old face.

Li Xian frowned slightly: "The baby is almost one month old, and I, the father, haven't even looked at it. I'll see you later."

When Mrs. Guo heard this, she was so angry that she cursed: "There are parents first and then there are wives and children. You are still a scholar in vain. Is this how you treat the mother who gave birth to you? I think your book is really true."

Before Guo could finish talking, Li Xian had already impatiently walked around her and strode straight to the main room.

Before the mother-in-law could go in to report, Li Xian had already entered the house. Xu Wanning was teasing her young son on the bed. When she saw Li Xian, she was surprised and said, "Why are you back? Didn't it say three days later in the family letter?"

Li Xian didn't even bother to take off his coat, and went directly to the bedside. Looking at his chubby son, a satisfied smile appeared on his face: "This boy is quite strong."

Xu Wanning smiled and said: "I weighed eight pounds when I was born, so I'm not very strong."

Li Xian came up to his wife, kissed her, and said with a smile: "Didn't you say you were a girl when you were pregnant? Why did you become a fat boy again?"

Xu Wanning gave him an angry look: "What's the matter? You don't like it?"

Li Xian kissed his wife again: "As long as it's your child, I like it."

Xu Wanning smiled and snorted coldly: "I forgive you and I dare not not like it."

Li Xian looked at his son who was sleeping sweetly and murmured: "This child is so big, did he suffer when he was born?"

Xu Wanning replied: "I didn't suffer much, it was pretty fast."

Li Xian got up from the bed, hugged his wife, and whispered in her ear: "I couldn't be with you even when you gave birth to this baby."

Xu Wanning replied: "Don't you have a business trip? What can be done about this?"

As she said that, she looked at Li Xian and asked, "Did this errand go well?"

Li Xian smiled and replied: "Don't you know your husband's ability? He is just supervising the work to deal with a small flood. How can I not be able to handle such a trivial matter?"

After hearing this, Xu Wanning felt at ease and replied to Li Xian: "It doesn't matter how big or small the errand is. As long as it benefits the country and the people and benefits the people, your errand is considered to be a good thing. In my opinion, it is better than

It’s better to spend all day immersed in officialdom and making calculations.”

Li Xian patted his wife on the shoulder and said with deep emotion: "It turns out that I was also ordered to supervise flood control, but I never went to the front line to do the project like this time. Although this job was hard, I saw with my own eyes those who were affected by the floods."

The displaced victims feel quite deeply that the Yellow River will overflow whenever there is a disaster. If dredging projects are not done well, it will always be like this when floods occur and only try to fix the leaks. This is really not a long-term solution."

Xu Wanning replied: "In that case, as the minister of the Ministry of Industry, why don't you write to His Majesty?"

Li Xian sighed and said: "The project of dredging the Yellow River is so huge. The imperial government has emptied the treasury by recovering the five cities last year. How can we collect money in a short while?"

As he spoke, he looked at his infant son and murmured: "I just hope that the weather will be smooth and there will be few natural disasters, so that all people in the world will be at peace."

"Let's name our child Brother Ping."

In Xianglin Garden, since Pingyang became pregnant, he asked Li Xiang to move to Jiao Xing's place in the west courtyard.

In a wealthy family, if the wife is pregnant and cannot serve, she must give her husband another concubine. Since Li Xiang is unwilling to take any more concubines, he has no choice but to let Jiao Xing serve him.

After getting along for such a period of time, Pingyang saw that Jiao Xingguo was really a responsible person, so he put his mind at ease and focused on raising the baby.

In the early morning, after Jiao Xing got up, she quickly put on her clothes. After washing up, she went to the outside to check on the meals delivered from the kitchen. Then she returned to the inside, pushed Li Xiang who was sleeping on the bed and said, "Third Master

, it’s time to get up.”

Li Xiang squinted his eyes and said vaguely: "When is it?"

Jiao Xing replied: "It's already past Chen time. Get up quickly. It will be too late if you don't go on duty."

Li Xiang then opened his eyes, lazily looked at Jiao Xing on the bed and said, "Otherwise, I'd just say I'm not feeling well today and won't go."

Jiao Xing gave Li Xiang an angry look: "Looking at your potential, if you don't get enough sleep, don't stay up so late at night."

Li Xiang got up, got off the ground in his middle coat, stood in front of Jiao Xing, looked at her, and whispered with half a smile: "Then what do you mean, you can only sleep well at night?"

Jiao Xing's cheeks were slightly red, she gave Li Xiang an angry look, and quickly turned around to get some clothes and help Li Xiang put them on.

Li Xiang lowered his eyes and looked at her shy look, his eyebrows were crooked, he changed the subject and asked: "What did you give me to eat this morning?"

Jiao Xing replied: "The left and right are all sent from the kitchen, and they are all your favorite meals made according to Madam's instructions."

Li Xiang heard a hint of embarrassment on his face when Jiao Xing mentioned Ping Yang, and murmured: "It really hurts me to see you being so cautious."

When Jiao Xing heard this, she subconsciously glanced out the door, quickly covered Li Xiang's mouth, lowered her voice and said: "Now that you and I can do this, I am very satisfied. You must never give birth to an unborn child."

Come with the thoughts you should have."

Li Xiang grabbed her hand, kissed it, and said helplessly: "Don't worry, I know it."

The two were about to go out for breakfast when Xiaomei opened the curtain and came in: "Auntie, Sister Lantian next to Madam has brought you medicine."

Ever since Li Xiang spent the night here, Pingyang would send him a soup every morning.

Jiao Xing took the Bizi Soup from Lan Tian's hand, said, "Thank you, sister." and drank it all in one gulp.

Lan Tian saw Jiao Xing drinking the medicine with his own eyes, so he didn't stay much longer, said a few polite words and went out.

After Lan Tian left, Jiao Xing glanced at Li Xiang, who had a gloomy face, and said with a smile: "This medicine is not bitter."

Li Ling handed Jiao Xing hot tea and said coldly: "It's just that taking too much of this medicine will hurt your health."

Jiao Xing smiled carelessly at Li Xiang and said, "It's okay, I'm strong."

Li Xiang said nothing in silence. He just raised his hand and took her hand to eat outside. After breakfast, Jiao Xing saw Li Xiang out. When the two walked side by side, Li Xiang whispered in Jiao Xing's ear.

: "When she gives birth to the baby, I will tell her that you will not be allowed to drink that medicinal soup again."

Li Xiang's eyes were red when he said this, and there was a hint of choking in his tone.

Even if Pingyang was kind-hearted and allowed her concubine to have a child, she would have to wait until his wife gave birth to a legitimate son. Otherwise, she would not be qualified to have a child anyway.

Jiao Xing raised her hand and patted Feihong who landed on Li Xiang's shoulder. She still joked: "I am still a child myself, how can I be a mother."
