MTL - Rebirth of the High Gate Mistress-Chapter 602 envy

When Pingyang woke up on the second day, it was already three o'clock in the morning. She stroked her groggy head and opened the inner door in a daze. Just as she was about to call someone to serve her, she suddenly saw Li Xiang standing outside. Pingyang was stunned for a moment. In place.

Pingyang opened his mouth and asked hesitantly: "Are you going to the palace to meet the saint?"

Li Xiang smiled faintly and replied: "I am on duty in the inner palace, and I have to face the saint basically every day."

With doubts, Pingyang walked out of the inner room, walked around Li Xiang, raised her hand to touch the official uniform he was wearing, and said, "Is this official uniform new?"

Li Xiang raised his hand and flicked his cuffs: "What's new here, it's the same one as before."

 It’s different!

Li Xiang is very different today! Pingyang couldn't tell what was different about him. In short, he was very different.

Pingyang looked at her husband, frowned, and couldn't help but worry: "What's wrong with you?"

Li Xiang held Pingyang down with both hands and said solemnly: "Pingyang, what I said to you yesterday was not drunken talk. I, Li Xiang, am determined to make a name for myself and show you."

Pingyang raised his eyes to look at Li Xiang and said resentfully: "You vomited wine all over me yesterday."

"I vomited?" Li Xiang frowned and thought for a while, then said firmly: "Although I was a little drunk yesterday, I didn't vomit. I remember it very clearly."

 Pingyang is speechless.

Li Xiang repeated: "Pingyang, what I said is true. Just wait. I will definitely win a kingdom for you."

 After saying that, he strode out of the house.

As soon as Li Xiang left, Yuzhu and Lantian came in quickly. When Yuzhu saw Pingyang, he wondered: "Madam, what's wrong with the prince?"

Lan Tian also echoed: "The prince is very different today. I saw that when he went out just now, he was walking with wind."

As he said that, he couldn't help but be surprised, "Could it be that there was something wrong with the wine we drank at my cousin's house yesterday, and it made our prince's brain confused?"

Yuzhu poked Lantian angrily: "Look at the way the prince looks confused, it's clear that he is, how can I describe it, by the way, he is full of energy."

After hearing the words of the two girls, Pingyang sighed slightly and murmured: "I don't know him well yet. He must be jealous of people who have achieved meritorious service and promotion. It's okay. He will only be as enthusiastic as he was in the past two days. In two days, Enough."

Li Xiang is now a minister of the emperor and a third-rank official, but everyone knows that all this is because Li Ling worked hard to promote and cultivate this younger brother. Li Ling took Li Xiang by his side and constantly spurred him.

It can be said that the elder brother has always pushed the younger brother.

As he spoke, Pingyang waved his hands to the girls and said, "It's nothing strange. Just go and do whatever you need to do."

 In the imperial city, Li Ling returned from the imperial court and came to the Qinzheng Hall. This was the time for him to announce his presence to his ministers.

Li Ling was also stunned when he learned that the first person who came to see him today was actually his younger brother Li Xiang.

Li Xiang entered. He was in high spirits today. Even Li Ling couldn't help but ask: "Is there any happy event in the mansion?" Li Xiang was stunned for a moment and replied: "Everything is as usual in the mansion." After saying that, he knelt down on the ground. , requesting: "Brother, the flood season is about to come, and I would like to request an order to go to the Yellow River District to supervise the flood situation this year."

Floods in the Yellow River have been the most troublesome thing in all dynasties. In the early days of Li Ling's rule, although vigorous construction of water conservancy projects greatly alleviated floods, the Yellow River stretches far and wide, and some states and counties close to the Yellow River are still inevitably affected by floods. Therefore, every year during the flood season, Li Ling would order officials to go to the local areas to supervise the floods. If there were floods during the flood season, he would work with local officials to manage them.

 This is a hard job that not only requires traveling, but is also dangerous.

Li Xiang, if Li Ling asked him to do something, he would try his best to do it well, but he was not very ambitious and did not like to be in the limelight. Li Ling was very surprised when he heard that his younger brother actually came to ask for this errand.

“Why do you suddenly want to supervise the flood?” Li Ling asked in a deep voice.

Li Xiang cupped his hands and replied: "Every flood season, the people near the Yellow River will suffer disasters. The emperor is worried about it, and the minister wants to share the worries for the emperor."

Similar to this, this younger brother has told him frequently since he was a child that Li Ling has already had immunity.

 After hearing this, he just said a faint "Oh."

When Li Xiang saw this, he lowered his head slightly and said: "My younger brother is also approaching his thirties. I want to make achievements with my own ability and not to be looked down upon by others."

This time, he was not as impassioned as before, his voice was lowered, and his tone also contained grievance and unwillingness.

 This younger brother has finally grown up.

Li Ling was pleased and quickly stood up and walked to his younger brother, patted his shoulder and encouraged him: "I am very pleased that you can make progress."

Li Xiang left the Qinzheng Hall and happened to meet several heroes of the Western Expedition, including Zhou Jin, Hu Dahai and Pei Yunqian, who came to meet him.

When several people saw Li Xiang, they stopped in their tracks. Zhou Jin exchanged pleasantries and said, "Third brother has just returned from meeting the Holy Spirit?"

Zhou Jin is Li Xiang's brother-in-law. The two are about the same age, and now Zhou Jin is already a first-rank hussar general.

Li Xiang exchanged pleasantries with Zhou Jin, then turned to look at Pei Yunqian beside Zhou Jin. He twitched the corners of his lips and said, "Cousin Pei is really in high spirits during happy events. Now that he has been promoted to an official position, he is different from before. "

There was a hint of jealousy in Li Xiang's words. Although Zhou Jin didn't know the reason, he could tell that this always gentle uncle seemed to have some prejudice against Pei Yunqian. He raised his eyes and glanced at the two of them without saying much. Hu Dahai was a rough man. After listening to Li Xiang's words, he raised his voice and said: "That's natural. Brother Pei is a capable person. He was buried at the wrong time in his life. Now we are all I met the British Master, haha, a rough guy like me, Old Hu, can rival the Three Young Masters, but a man with all-round talents in both civil and military affairs, like Brother Pei, will definitely have an unlimited future."

Pei Yunqian smiled faintly, cupped his hands towards Hu Dahai and said, "Brother Hu, thank you."

Li Xiang frowned, glanced at Pei Yunqian, and said coldly: "I still have something to do, so let's go first."

This time, even Hu Dahai, who was as thick as Hu Dahai, noticed Li Xiang's strangeness. He quickly closed his mouth, frowned and looked at Zhou Jin and said: "Why is the censor unhappy? Did I, Old Hu, say something wrong again?" Have you spoken?"

Li Xiang is the emperor's closest brother. With this relationship, although he has no talent, he is someone that no civil and military officials in the dynasty dare to provoke. But Li Xiang has a gentle temper. He can't do anything like bullying others. Today, he was rude to several generals, but he was a little out of his control.

 He was not a jealous person, but seeing Pei Yunqian's promising future, Li Xiang felt like a thorn had been stabbed in his heart.
