MTL - Rebirth of the High Gate Mistress

In the western border of Wujin, dusk gradually fell. A maid in a green shirt stood in front of a towering high door and stretched her neck to look towards the long street.

This woman is different from ordinary servants. She was brought from the palace by Princess Fukang, so her temperament is even better than that of many ladies. But she has been guarding here since the second half of the day. Because she has been standing for a long time, her face The originally beautiful makeup on her face had been soaked with sweat, and she had lost some dignity.

Seeing this, an old woman who was in charge of the gatekeeper couldn't help but come over and persuade her: "Aunt Roufeng should go back. It's already this hour, and the prince consort probably won't come back today."

The maid named Roufeng heard this and replied: "The princess is due to give birth in the next few days, but the husband-in-law does not return home every day. The princess is anxiously looking forward to the husband-in-law day and night."

She was talking nonsense, but her expectant eyes were still at the end of the long street.

The mother-in-law struggled to speak for a long time, but finally couldn't hold it back any longer. She whispered in Roufeng's ear: "Does the princess know about the one the consort is raising outside?"

After hearing this, Roufeng suddenly looked back, glanced at the mother-in-law and said, "Mother-in-law, are you talking about the Tian family?"

The mother-in-law looked around, then nodded and said, "It's her."

Roufeng replied: "It's just an outsider with no reputation. How can such a person be worthy of being heard by the princess?"

Hearing this, the mother-in-law whispered: "Although the Tian family is an outsider, she knew the consort before the princess came. In the past, her natal family was in decline and she lived in the house for many years. At that time, she and the concubine The Prince Consort has his head and tail."

 “Don’t talk nonsense!”

The mother-in-law glanced at Roufeng's cold face, immediately closed her mouth knowingly, and said angrily: "All the old people in the house know about this matter. If aunt doesn't believe it, you can go and ask others. The princess is virtuous and gentle. , my old lady couldn’t bear to see the princess being wronged, so she had the courage to mention this to my aunt.”

Roufeng softened her expression slightly and replied: "I know you have good intentions, but for this matter, don't talk nonsense, be careful of trouble coming from your mouth."

The mother-in-law agreed repeatedly, Roufeng no longer wanted to wait here, and gave a few simple instructions, then turned and returned to the house.

She had just walked halfway when she saw another maid next to the princess, Cailan, looking for her anxiously. Seeing Roufeng, the man stepped forward and asked, "Can you see the consort?"

Roufeng shook his head and said, "I'm afraid the prince consort won't be able to return today."

Hearing this, Cailan frowned and said, "How could this be? The imperial doctor said that the princess will give birth in the next few days. Your Highness's pregnancy is in an abnormal position. The princess has been worried all day long. Why hasn't the prince-in-law returned home yet?"

“Did the consort go looking for the Tian family again?” Cailan lowered her voice and asked Roufeng.

Roufeng made a silent gesture: "Why are you talking about this? If the princess knows about it, it will make His Highness even more depressed and sad."

Cailan had a bad temper and couldn't get angry and said: "This prince-in-law clearly saw the death of the late emperor and bullied our highness. He has no support. Huh! Although our highness is not the same mother as the current saint, he is still a brother and sister. If the prince-in-law is again After bullying His Highness like this, I have to go to the palace and file a complaint? I don’t believe that a saint can ignore his own sister."

"Hey! This matter is not trivial. It depends on what His Highness wants." After saying that, Roufeng took Cailan and said, "Let's go, and go back to the princess first."

When the two returned to Fu'a Palace where the eldest princess Fukang lived, it was already dinner time. The maids were preparing the meal in an orderly manner. Princess Fukang was pregnant with Liujia. When she saw the two returning, she subconsciously got up from the soft couch and couldn't wait. He asked: "Where is the consort?" Roufeng and Cailan looked at each other for a moment, and finally Roufeng hesitated and replied: "There are busy things in the Yamen today, so I'm afraid the consort will be delayed."

When Fukang heard this, his face turned pale with disappointment. He frowned and murmured to himself, "I'm about to give birth, but he's been away from home all day."

Cailan sighed secretly, stepped forward slowly to support Fukang and said: "The imperial doctor said that at this time, the princess should not be worried. You can have dinner first. Later, the slaves will order people to urge the prince-in-law. .”

Fukang sat back on the soft couch blankly, looked up at Cailan and asked, "Tell me the truth, has the consort been at her place recently?"

Seeing this, Roufeng hurriedly winked at Cailan. Cailan understood and comforted Fukang and said: "Since the prince-in-law said that he was no longer with the Natian family, how could he break his promise? Princess, don't think too much. The prince-son-in-law has a lot of things in the yamen, so I can’t get away for these two days.”

Fukang murmured: "Don't lie to me. In fact, I understand it in my heart."

"Actually, he has always had that woman in his heart. It's no wonder. How could they forget their childhood sweethearts so easily?"

 As he said this, Fukang felt sad and couldn't help but shed tears.

She was pregnant, and the pregnancy was not good. She was so excited that she felt uncomfortable in her stomach, and she couldn't help but retched. Seeing this, the servants immediately stepped forward to caress her back and feed her tea. In the huge bedroom , the atmosphere suddenly became tense.

 “What’s wrong with mother?”

With a crisp voice, a girl in red brocade clothes entered. When the palace attendants saw the visitor, their faces showed signs of joy unconsciously, and they said in unison: "Hello, Miss!"

This girl is Xie Xian'er, the only daughter of Marquis Xuanping and Princess Fukang.

When Fukang saw his daughter, he managed to calm down. She was a little weak after such a hard time, so he waved to the girl in a low voice: "Xian'er, come to mother quickly."

Xie Xian'er walked up to Danjun, glanced at the expression of the maid serving her mother with her phoenix eyes, and asked directly: "Is mother angry with father again?"

Fukang hurriedly comforted his daughter and said, "It's okay. Your father and I are fine."

Xie Xian'er looked calm and replied: "I am not a child anymore. Mother does not need to take great pains to coax me. You are pregnant now, and your father should take good care of you. He is so unscrupulous. As a princess, His status is so noble, why should we accommodate him?"

Although Xie Xian'er is Fukang's daughter, her temperament is very different from her mother. She is very powerful at a young age.

Fukang hurriedly said: "Husbands and wives should treat each other equally. Even though I am a princess, mother, if I blindly oppress others based on their status, how can we live in harmony with each other?"

Hearing this, Xie Xian'er asked rhetorically: "My mother saves my father's face when away from home, and she always accommodates my father at home. You are so humiliating, can your father accept your kindness all this time?"

Fukang was at a loss for words when his daughter asked, and Xie Xian'er added: "As the saying goes, good people can be bullied by others. The father just took advantage of the mother's good temper, so he dared to act unscrupulously. The mother should be tougher. You behave like a princess and order your father to drive that woman out of the capital. If he refuses, you will issue an edict to put the woman to death. As the eldest princess, it is still difficult to deal with an outside wife. Why bother? Just let them do it."
