MTL - Rebirth of the High Gate Mistress-Chapter 609 Discover clues
In mid-June, Li Xiang set off as scheduled.
Flood patrols under orders cannot be stationed at a fixed location. Basically, several states and counties close to the Yangtze River are required to be patrolled. Summer and autumn are the times when floods are most likely to occur. At this time, patrols will probably have to wait until the weather is over. You can only come back during the rainy season.
Everyone from the government came to see them off. Pingyang gave Li Xiang a thousand warnings and told him to pay attention to safety. However, Li Xiang looked high-spirited and only promised his wife: "I am such a big man, I don't need you anymore." Don't worry, just stay at home and wait for me to return from my service."
In front of everyone, Pingyang could not say much, so he only whispered: "No one cares about meritorious service or not. As long as you are safe, that's fine."
Li Xiang followed the imperial envoys away. After walking far away, he still looked back at Pingyang from time to time.
Pingyang watched her husband travel far away. She stroked her chest and felt a severe congestion in her heart.
Xu Wanning on the side sighed and said: "I used to send my second brother out to fight. The battlefield was the most dangerous and dangerous, but every time I felt very at ease. This time I sent my third brother out, it was just to patrol the floods, which made people quite uneasy." Similar."
Pingyang was also worried. He looked at her husband's retreating figure and said back to Xu Wanning: "The second brother is calm in doing things, which naturally makes people feel reassured. How can my husband be as calm as the second brother? Ever since he knew that he was going to I never felt at ease when I was on a long business trip."
Xu Wanning advised: "He is also in his thirties, and it is time for him to gain more experience. Don't worry about it too much. Let's go and go back."
The relatives who came to see off the government got on the carriage one after another. Dong Qing first helped her mother-in-law Xu Wanning board the carriage. When they arrived, Pingyang and Li Xiang rode together. Dong Qing accompanied Xu Wanning. When Xu Wanning saw her daughter-in-law returning, she He wanted to ride with her, winked at her and said, "I'll accompany your third aunt, you and brother Kun sit together."
Dong Qing agreed and helped Pingyang get into the car. After the car started, Brother Kun came over to hold her. Dong Qing's beautiful face turned red and she quickly broke away from his hand and whispered: "Outside, you And be more restrained.”
Li Kun loved his wife very much. He looked at her, smiled, and replied in a low voice: "We have been married for so long, why are you still so shy?"
Dong Qing looked embarrassed, and quickly left him behind and got into the car. Li Kun glanced at his wife's shy look, smiled knowingly, then took a step forward and got into the car too.
Li Xiang left for a few days, and it happened to be Jing Shu's birthday. Although Jing Shu was already the queen, she never liked extravagance. Every year on her birthday, she just invited her close relatives to come to the palace for a small gathering, and it was the same this year.
On this day, the two families in the palace, together with Li Jinyan and his wife, as well as Jingshu's two younger siblings and their family came to the palace. In addition, Jingshu also invited her cousin Jiang Youchen and his wife.
The family banquet is better than the warmth. After the banquet, several young children started making noises about going on a cruise.
Among these children, Li Kun is the eldest and is already weak, followed by Brother Ping, Brother Taizi Xuan and Princess Bao, who are all in the age of 14 or 15. The remaining Sister Xue, Sister Qing and other ten At the age of twenty-three, the younger one is Yu Geer, the youngest son of Sister Wan, Ji'er and Jiang Youchen.
The boat in the palace was very large, and a group of people followed the **** on board.
Brother Ping is the happiest. He is the same age as the prince. They used to play together all day in the palace. Later, although Brother Xuan entered the palace and became the prince, Brother Ping was also his companion, so these Among the brothers and sisters, the two have the deepest relationship.
As soon as Brother Ping boarded the boat, he shouted and took the stem from the steward who was riding the boat. He stood on the bow of the boat and said to everyone with a smile: "Let me take the boat for you today. Please sit down." That’s it.”
Li Kun reprimanded his younger brother: "Don't try to show off, and quickly hand over the boat pole to the chamberlain."
Brother Ping rolled his eyes at his elder brother and said to Dong Qing on the side: "Sister-in-law, you see that my eldest brother is here to scold me again, so you should just take care of him." Dong Qing smiled faintly and replied: "Your eldest brother is not afraid that you will have any problems." accident."
The prince walked to the splint, patted Brother Ping on the shoulder, and joked: "The fish in this lake are very fierce. Be careful if you fall into the water and get bitten by the fish."
Brother Ping said with a smile: "It is said that there is a beauty dragon at the bottom of Taiye Pond. I am just looking for an opportunity to go down there and have a chat."
Hearing this, Princess Bao smiled and said, "Would you like me to help you?" After saying that, she picked up the bamboo pole on the side as a gesture to drive Brother Ping into the water.
Princess Bao came to tease, but Brother Ping didn't take it seriously. He swayed and hid on the bow of the boat, hiding here and there. His feet were unsteady. The prince on the side saw this and quickly pulled him with his hands. Unexpectedly, Ping The brother's center of gravity was unstable, and he was about to fall into the water while holding the prince.
The brothers are all good at water, and there are guards with good water skills on the boat to protect them. Everyone is used to this kind of trouble on weekdays and doesn't take it seriously.
It was the first time Dong Qing went on a cruise with everyone. When she saw this, she subconsciously hurried over to pull people over and said hurriedly: "Be careful!"
Brother Ping quickly pushed her hand away and said hurriedly: "We are fine, sister-in-law, don't let us drag her into the water." As soon as he finished speaking, Brother Ping fell into the water.
The prince held on to the string of the boat and stood firmly.
Brother Ping is used to being naughty, and everyone has long been accustomed to it. Seeing Brother Ping fall into the water, everyone on the boat started to play and laugh.
Brother Ping suddenly popped his head out of the water. He wiped his face and shouted at Princess Bao on the boat: "Why are you such a naughty girl?"
Princess Bao stood on the bow of the boat, with her hands on her hips and said: "You still have the nerve to say that I am naughty. In terms of naughtiness, you are the first in the whole capital, and no one dares to be the second."
The prince smiled helplessly and picked up the bamboo pole, handed it to Brother Ping in the water, and urged: "Come up quickly, if my aunt finds out later, she will definitely scold you again."
Princess Bao deliberately stopped her brother and said, "Don't hand him the pole, just let him fall into the water. I will order someone to tell my aunt right away, so we can see him get scolded."
Brother Ping in the water cursed at Princess Bao: "You vicious princess, be careful not to get married in the future."
Princess Bao was so angry that she came to poke Brother Ping in the water again with a bamboo pole. Brother Ping plunged into the water and disappeared. When he emerged again, he was already hiding on the other side of the boat. He only heard "Push". With a "pull" sound, he just lifted up a carp in the water and jumped onto the boat without using any external force.
That neat movement caused everyone on the boat to cheer.
Brother Ping stood on the bow of the boat, struck a chic pose, and said in a coquettish voice: "This young master is so handsome."
Brother Ping acted strangely and made everyone on the boat laugh.
Only Li Kun's face darkened thoughtfully.
