Rebirth of the High Gate Mistress

 Chapter 330 Li Xiang’s Fantasy

Jing Shu and the old lady came out of the palace and got on their carriage. Although the old lady treated Jing Shu as usual, Jing Shu could tell that the old lady had something on her mind, and the matter must be with Qingluan. She related.

Although her position as the mistress of the palace is unshakable now, with Qingluan's temperament, she might still not give up the thought of marrying Li Ling. After all, in her previous life, she had vaguely heard that Qingluan seemed to be begging for help from the Holy Lord. She agreed to marry Li Ling and become his equal wife.

Qingluan is now older. Today she met her grandmother, who always loved her, and simply expressed her thoughts. She just didn't know what the old lady would do if she knew about her precious granddaughter's stubborn thoughts.

If the old lady felt sorry for her granddaughter and finally nodded helplessly, or if the Holy Master could not resist this daughter who was always on the verge of death and made a decree, even if Li Ling disagreed with her, he would have no choice.

Jingshu naturally firmly believes in Li Ling's feelings for her. Even if the emperor's life is at stake, Qingluan will not treat her like his wife. But if she thinks that this is the case, then she will have to face this annoying woman every day. She and Li Ling's peaceful and happy life was disrupted by her, and Jing Shu couldn't help but panic.

 Arrived at the palace, Li Ling helped his grandmother and Jing Shu get out of the car. He happened to meet Li Xiang and his wife who were returning from a relaxing trip with their daughter-in-law to the palace of Ningguo, her mother's family.

Pingyang was already four months pregnant at this time, and her bulging belly was already very obvious even through her clothes. When the old lady saw her pregnant granddaughter-in-law, she couldn't help but nag her. , was supported back to Anxi Hall by Li Lingjingshu.

Li Xiang and Pingyang watched their grandmother, brother and sister-in-law off. The smile on Pingyang's face, who had returned happily from his grandfather's house accompanied by his husband, gradually faded.

She is also the daughter-in-law of the palace, but her background is much higher than that of her direct sister-in-law. However, within five years of marrying, she can get the imperial title invited by her husband. This is naturally extremely difficult for a noble girl. Glorious, and because she was the daughter of a prince, she was honored by her father and was given the title of princess before she was eight years old, living an enviable life.

The woman relied on her father at home and married her husband. She lived a very glorious life because of her father in the first half of her life. But now that she is married to Li Xiang, she may not be able to get such an honor as Jingshu in the rest of her life.

It’s not that Pingyang is vain and likes comparison, it’s just that he always wants to compare himself with the people around him.

Pingyang just thought about it, and she didn't feel jealous of her sister-in-law, who had always been kind to her, and she didn't dislike her husband because he was not as good as his brother. However, Pingyang was a simple-minded person, and he would be troubled even if he had the slightest turmoil in his heart. It will hang on your face.

When the couple returned to Xianglin Garden, Li Xiang said gently to Pingyang: "You must be exhausted after working hard for a long time, right? Go to bed and refresh yourself."

With that said, Li Xiang helped Pingyang get on the bed himself. Pingyang leaned on the soft pillow and asked Li Xiang, "Do you want to take a rest too?"

Li Xiang shook his head and replied: "I'm not tired. You can go to sleep. I'll go for a walk and come back later to have dinner together."

After Li Xiang settled down in Pingyang, he left the house and went straight to the cross courtyard.

Jiao Xing was sitting alone on the couch embroidering. Li Xiang entered the room and lay down beside her. He reached out and took the thing Jiao Xing was embroidering, took a look at it, and asked, "Is this embroidered for me?"

Jiao Xing stretched out her hand to take off his shoes, then turned around and took out a soft pillow to tuck under his head. Li Xiang asked, "The plum blossoms are so vividly embroidered. How about making a purse for me after you finish the embroidery?"

Jiao Xing took the embroidery and replied, "I can give it to you, but you are not allowed to wear it. You can only put it here."

Li Xiang knew that Jiao Xing was afraid of being seen, so he sighed slightly and replied: "Then you can make it into a sachet and put it under my pillow."

Jiao Xing nodded and said casually: "Are you going to be on night duty tonight?"

Li Xiang replied yes, but couldn't help complaining: "Don't look at my errand, which is as big as sesame seeds and mung beans, but it's actually quite annoying." Jiao Xing paused slightly after hearing this, but she didn't stop working on her hands. , replied: "Those who can serve in the inner court are all children of powerful people, and there will inevitably be intrigues. If you don't get what you want, why not go to the outer court to find a job."

Li Xiang turned his head to look at Jiao Xing and asked, "What do you think I should do if I go to the outer court?"

Jiao Xing stopped what she was doing, looked at Li Xiang and replied, "Choose what you like to do."

After hearing this, Li Xiang smiled at Jiao Xing and said, "I really don't have any occupation that I like."

Jiao Xing said: "Why not? Haven't you always liked reading medical books?"

When Li Xiang heard this, his eyes shone brightly. Gulu immediately stood up and sat up. He sat cross-legged across from Jiao Xing and said, "I have studied a lot of medical books these days. When I had free time a few days ago, I talked to the doctor from Tai Hospital. We were exchanging some knowledge."

Jiao Xing smiled and asked, "What did the doctor say?"

 Li Xiang replied: “What do you think?”

Jiao Xing covered her mouth and smiled: "I can't guess."

Li Xiang imitated the tone of the old doctor seriously and said: "I didn't expect that a child from a noble family like you could study medical books so well. What a pity! What a pity!"

Jiao Xing was amused by Li Xiang and giggled: "What's a pity?"

Li Xiang gave her an angry look: "The old doctor is sorry for my status. If I were a young man from an ordinary family, I would study medicine instead of studying literature and martial arts. With my talent, I would have become a famous doctor. I would still be of use." Spending your life in the inner court in vain?"

With that said, he reached out to grab Jiao Xing's hand: "I learned how to feel the pulse a few days ago, and I'll do it for you."

Jiao Xing waited for him to cut it seriously for a while, then asked with a smile: "It looks decent, why did it come out?"

Li Xiang made up nonsense, then smiled at Jiao Xing and said: "I plan to study acupuncture in a while, after I learn it."

Before Li Xiang could finish speaking, Jiao Xing quickly withdrew her hand and said angrily, "Don't try this on me."

Li Ling was unconvinced and said: "When you learned how to make rice dumplings and make snacks, you didn't let me try them every time. Now that I'm studying medicine, you don't want me to try them. What's the point?"

As he said that, he stretched out his hand to squeak the apricots, and the two of them chased each other, playing together on the couch.

Jiao Xing suppressed her laughter and avoided Li Xiang, but in the end she was caught by Li Ling and blocked in the corner. Jiao Xing desperately covered her mouth to prevent herself from laughing. She couldn't bear it anymore, so she stretched out her arms and hugged Li Xiang. , stretched out his hand and pointed toward the door.

Li Xiang understood, and angrily let go of Jiao Xing, stretched out his arms to hug her to his side, leaned close to her ear, and whispered: "You said that if I were not a child of aristocratic family, we would live in the same cottage, and I would practice medicine. You embroider, and let's have a few more children. Wouldn't it be a pleasant life like this?"
