Rebirth of the High Gate Mistress

Li Xiang came out of the Qinzheng Palace. He left the imperial city and went straight back to his hometown.

When Pingyang saw Li Xiang returning, he called the girls to prepare food.

After a while, the food was served. As soon as Li Xiang picked up the jade chopsticks, Pingyang turned around and retched. Li Xiang quickly put down the jade chopsticks and helped her to move her back. She finally calmed down. Pingyang looked at the food on the table again. , but I can’t whet my appetite at all.

Li Xiang helped Pingyang back to the inner room, let her rest on the bed, and poured a cup of sour plum tea for her.

Pingyang weakly leaned on the soft pillow, held the tea cup and took two sips. Finally, she suppressed the discomfort in her stomach. She caressed her pregnant belly, which was less than two months old, and sighed to Li Xiang: "This pregnancy has just begun. It’s so torturous, I think this fetus will be the same as the previous two, it will be a daughter.”

After hearing this, Li Xiang sighed slightly and comforted Pingyang and said: "How can you guess the male and female based on this? Just relax and raise the child."

Pingyang propped herself up and moved from the soft pillow to Li Xiang's arms. She leaned on her husband's warm arms and said coquettishly, "I've really had enough of the pain of giving birth to a child. If this baby is still a daughter, I will I don’t want to be born again.”

As she spoke, she looked up at Li Xiang, pouted and asked, "Is that okay?"

Li Xiang lowered his eyes and nodded at Pingyang, and replied: "If you don't want to have another child, we just don't want it anymore."

Pingyang saw that Li Xiang was so considerate of her hard work, and she naturally obeyed him.

But in this world where heirs are valued, if they have no sons, they will naturally be criticized. Thinking of this, Pingyang felt depressed.

She sighed and said, "You can feel sorry for me, but if my grandmother and mother knew that I didn't want children because I didn't want to bear the pain of childbirth, I'm afraid they would blame me."

Li Xiang replied: "My grandmother and mother are not unreasonable people. In the past, my second brother and my second sister-in-law were married for many years and had no children. Even my second sister-in-law was diagnosed as infertile, but my grandmother and mother never gave her a hard time. We don't have a title." Even if I am here, my grandmother and mother will definitely not be blamed for this."

Pingyang smiled, looked up at Li Xiang and said, "What about you? Do you really not care about not having a son for my sake?"

Li Xiang smiled lightly: "I don't need to shoulder any responsibilities. There are many nephews in my family, so I don't care about this."

The two of them were talking about the child, when Yuzhu stood at the door of the inner room and replied: "Third Master, Madam, Xiaomei, who just crossed the hospital, came to report that Aunt Xing was ill. She seemed to be very ill, so she asked for a match. doctor."

The aunt is low, but she is sick when she is sick, and the lady must be willing to first.

When Li Xiang heard that Jiao Xing was ill, he stood up and asked Yu Zhu anxiously: "How is she doing now?"

Yuzhu was surprised by Li Xiang's excited behavior. She hesitated for a moment and replied: "I heard from Xiaomei that Aunt Xing has been feeling unwell these past few days. After eating a few mouthfuls of dinner today, she felt dizzy and couldn't get out of bed."

As soon as Li Xiang heard this, his expression suddenly changed, and he quickly ordered: "Hurry up and get the pair of cards and call the doctor."

After being ordered to leave, he didn't even bother to put on his coat. He hurried out of the house without looking back and ran across the courtyard. Yuzhu glanced at Li Xiang's anxious and concerned look. She lowered her eyes and entered the room. She sat down next to Pingyang and said with a dull face: "What's wrong with my uncle? She's just an aunt, nothing serious." Why is your illness so urgent?"

During Pingyang's pregnancy, it was a tiring and boring time. Seeing her husband abandon her and run so impatiently to care for another woman, she felt very uncomfortable. After hearing Yuzhu's words, she was about to speak, but there was a feeling in her stomach. Overwhelmed, he vomited out every bit of the sour plum tea he had just drank.

Yuzhu hurriedly patted Pingyang on the back, and couldn't help but said with heartache: "They say the first pregnancy is the most difficult. It's your third pregnancy, why is it still so torturous?"

Pingyang was stunned for a long time, and finally calmed down. She leaned on the soft couch with a pale face, shook her head and murmured: "After giving birth to this baby, I will definitely not have any more children."

Ziyun brought tea to Pingyang and drank it, muttering: "I just hope this baby will be a boy."

The manager of Xianglinyuan invited the doctor to the cross-yard with a pair of cards. The doctor took Jiao Xing's pulse through the curtain and said to Li Xiang: "Congratulations, Third Master, my aunt has a happy pulse."

Li Xiang and Jiao Xing were both shocked when they heard this. Li Xiang recovered his thoughts before Jiao Xing. He stared at the doctor and asked in surprise: "Have you looked carefully? Are you sure it's a happy pulse?"

The old doctor stroked his beard and said, "There is no doubt that the fetus is pregnant. Judging from the pulse, the fetus is almost two months old."

Li Xiang was so happy that he couldn't help but pat his thigh. He quickly ordered someone to bring a heavy purse for the doctor, and he personally sent the doctor out of the house.

After seeing off the doctor, Li Xiang ran all the way back to the courtyard. Seeing that Jiao Xing was still grimacing, Li Xiang naturally knew what she was thinking. He held her in his arms and comforted her: "This is God's will. Since you are here, Now, as parents, we have to love him and love him well."

Jiao Xing did not answer. She glanced at Li Xiang and sighed: "Every time you come here, your wife will order someone to bring you Bizi soup. How can you be pregnant with a child?"

Li Xiang stretched out his hand to touch Jiao Xing's slightly pale face, and replied with crooked eyebrows: "This is God's will. God saw that we were pitiful, so he gave us a son. This cannot be changed by human power."

Jiao Xing glanced at Li Xiang's excited expression, but she was not happy at all. The eldest lady had not yet got her legitimate son, so she got pregnant unexpectedly. It would be okay if it was a girl, but wouldn't it be scary if it was a boy? ?

Although Jiao Xing was born in a humble background and was lonely since childhood, she is a transparent person. She clearly understands the difference between herself and Li Xiang, and she also understands the difference between the dignity and inferiority of this powerful family. Therefore, although she and Li Xiang truly love each other, they have been living their lives cautiously, fearing that if she is not worth a little, she will completely lose the only thing she has in this world in front of her.

She sniffed and said in a muffled voice, "This child has come at the wrong time, so it's better not to have it."

Li Xiang flatly refused: "This is our child. If he doesn't come, that's fine. Now that he's here, why not?"

Looking at Jiao Xing's thoughtful and melancholy look, Li Xiang held her in his arms and said distressedly: "Don't worry, I will protect you two even if I risk my life."

Jiao Xing lay in Li Xiang's arms and shed tears silently. After a while, she said in a low voice: "I am extremely content to be able to stay together peacefully with you like you are now. It's better not to have this child." .”

Li Xiang held Jiao Xing's arm tightly and replied resolutely: "This child is a must."
