MTL - Rebirth of the High Gate Mistress-Chapter 651 【Extra】If life were just like the first time we met (13)
Along the way, his cousin from the Pei family took good care of him, and Pingyang became the happy little princess again.
Seeing Yizhou right in front of him, he never thought that Li Xiang was chasing after him. Not only did he chase after him, he even jumped into Qushui in order to see Pingyang.
Pingyang was almost scared to death by Li Xiang's move. Fortunately, cousin Pei was there, and he rescued Li Xiang regardless of his own safety.
Although Li Xiang escaped from danger, he became seriously ill. After his brothers came to rescue him, cousin Pei handed Pingyang to his brothers and then went to visit his father.
The day cousin Pei left, Pingyang's heart seemed empty.
This period of happy days disappeared again with the departure of cousin Pei, just like a dream. Since it is a dream, you have to wake up after all. Now that you wake up, Pingyang has to take on the responsibility of a wife again. It's her responsibility, Li Xiang is seriously ill, and she has to take care of him.
When Pingyang was with Cousin Pei, she was like a child. She needed Cousin Pei to worry about her everywhere. But once she left Cousin Pei, she seemed to have grown up and had to take care of others. .
When she left the capital to return to her parents' home, Li Xiang was patrolling outside on behalf of the emperor. Because he lived in an impermanent place, Pingyang could not inform him of her plan to return to her parents' home. Perhaps her sudden departure touched Li Xiang. This time they When they met, Li Xiang treated her as if she was a different person.
Since the incident with Jiao Xing, Li Xiang has apologized to her countless times and asked for peace. But this time, he seemed to be afraid of losing her. Even when he was ill, he had to stay close to her to feel at ease.
Several times, when Li Xiang was tired from taking care of the sick Li Xiang in Pingyang and went back to his room to take a nap, Li Xiang would become restless. Several times, he insisted on looking for her despite the obstruction of the servants and wives. Sometimes he couldn't see her. Xiang even refused to take medicine.
They are both the youngest sons and daughters in the family. Pingyang is a child at heart, but Li Xiang is often like her, a child who has not grown up.
When Pingyang is with him, he always worries about him. Many times, Pingyang takes care of Li Xiang more.
Before Pei Yunqian, Pingyang was a child, but when she came to Li Xiang, she became an adult.
A few years after Li Xiang narrowly escaped death, he went on a flood patrol and was infected with an epidemic. That time was also very dangerous.
It was Pingyang who accompanied him through the difficulties regardless of the danger.
When Pingyang went to find Li Xiang who was suffering from the epidemic, Pei Yunqian stayed with Pingyang.
At that time, Pingyang was already middle-aged and mentally mature, but she remembered that evening when she rushed to the epidemic area with the imperial doctor. When she saw Cousin Pei riding towards her on horseback and riding into the sunset, she felt so excited. For a moment, Pingyang was still very at ease and at ease.
The Pei family's cousin is like her patron saint. As long as he is around, no matter how difficult the situation is, Pingyang can always feel at ease.
This time, it was Pingyang who saved Li Xiang from the hands of death. Of course, Pingyang was able to have such tenacity because her cousin from the Pei family supported her.
Time passes slowly, they get older, and the harm Li Xiang brought to Pingyang is gradually lost in the desert of time.
No matter how hard it is to hear Li Xiang mention Jiao Xing, he still goes to pay homage to Jiao Xing every year on her death anniversary.
Jiao Xing’s daughter, Mei Jie’er, was weak when she was young, but she grew up safely. Perhaps it was because she lost her mother when she was young and was raised under Ping Yang’s lap. Mei Jie’er had always been close to Ping Yang, her legitimate mother.
Oddly enough, Pingyang's two daughters' temperaments are not like hers, but this concubine's temperament is very similar to Pingyang's.
Very simple.
All the daughters in the family got married, but Li Xiang kept Sister Mei until Double Ten before finding her a husband. When Sister Mei got married, the dowry Pingyang prepared for her was no different from his own daughter. They were all the same. of richness. When she was hurt the most, she didn't bother this innocent child. Now that times have changed, Pingyang will not make people unhappy anymore.
Pingyang is a kind person, from beginning to end.
After Sister Mei'er got married, Li Xiang's health deteriorated day by day. When Sister Mei'er got married and gave birth to a child a year later, Li Xiang couldn't hold on any longer.
When he was terminally ill, Li Xiang was unconscious for most of the day. Pingyang stayed by his side, and she heard him murmuring Jiao Xing's name.
When she was young, Pingyang was deeply hurt by this, but now, when she hears her husband mention this name again, Pingyang has already calmed down, and is even happy that they are about to be reunited.
She held Li Xiang's hand and said in his ear: "She has been waiting for you for so many years, and you are finally going to be reunited."
Li Xiang opened his eyes. This man who was praised as the reincarnation of Pan An when he was young has now been robbed of all his beauty by time. He smiled at Pingyang and said hoarsely: "Pingyang, you are the most beautiful person in the world. Good woman, I am sorry for you in this life, but in the next life, you must not meet me again."
Pingyang smiled and replied: "It's fate that makes people do things, I don't blame you."
This man whom she fell in love with at first sight when she was young, they have been entangled for a lifetime, he has let her down, and he has sincerely made up for her.
Now that he is dying, Pingyang's resentment towards him has long since dissipated in the breeze.
Pingyang looked at Li Xiang and said slowly: "After you leave, I will bury you and Jiao Xing together. You have no chance to stay together for a long time in this life. When you go to heaven, you can be together openly and honestly."
Li Xiang held Pingyang's hand, tears shining in his dry eyes. After a long time, he said, "You are my real wife. This is against the rules."
Only husband and wife can sleep in the same hole afterwards, concubines are not eligible.
Pingyang smiled faintly and replied: "Have you forgotten that I am the mistress of this family now? Don't worry, I can make the decision on this matter."
“Thank you, Pingyang.” Li Xiang shed tears.
“Then what should you do?” he asked again.
Pingyang smiled and replied: "After you leave, I want to go back to Yizhou. Now that Brother Heng has married, this house should belong to their juniors, and Yizhou is my home."
Li Xiang nodded and replied: "Pingyang, I was suffering from the epidemic that year and was in critical condition, but I could hear the words you said in my ears. You said you have always loved me, and I know You were lying to me to make me survive. In fact, you no longer love me. The person you love most in your heart should be your cousin from the Pei family, but you were young and ignorant back then."
Before Li Xiang could finish speaking, Pingyang cried and laughed and said, "That's right. I was young and ignorant at that time. When I first saw you in front of my aunt's princess house, I was deceived by your beauty."
Li Xiang smiled, he took Pingyang's hand and said: "It's because you are ignorant, and it's also me who misunderstood you. In the next life, you must never be fooled by my beauty again."
"I go first."
“Pingyang, let’s not see each other again.”
