路上还算顺利,夫妻二人行了五六日的光景,便抵达京城。

回到镇国公府,平阳先去安僖堂和落安堂给两位婆母请安后,便急着回到翔林苑看日思夜念的孩子们。

晴姐儿在宫里读书,还未归来,两个小的见了平阳,欢雀着扑在她怀中撒娇,叽叽喳喳个没完。

李翔眉眼弯弯的看着孩子们,温和的说道:“你们娘亲旅途劳累,且让她歇息一会儿,待晚饭后,爹爹和娘亲陪着你们去花园里玩儿。”

两个孩子倒也懂事,听了李翔的话,便乖乖的随着乳母出去了。

沐浴的水早已经备好,待孩子们出去后,平阳才得空进去洗尘,这一路上风尘仆仆的,驿馆里虽也能沐浴,到底是没有家里舒服。

平阳沐浴的空档,梅姐儿的乳母闻讯便带着梅姐儿过来请安,李翔见了幼女,遂将她抱在膝头,正有一句没一句的与乳母询问梅姐儿的日常起居,抬眼见平阳出了浴室。

因为刚沐浴过,她只穿了一件淡粉色的轻薄中衣,鲜嫩嫩的颜色,衬得她肌肤胜雪,立在菱花窗子透进来的阳光里,美得让人挪不开眼。

“父亲,我可以去给母亲请安吗?”

李翔呆呆的看着平阳,不由得看直了眼,直到梅姐唤他,他才回过神儿来。

平阳缓缓的出了内间,开口道:“是孙嬷嬷带着梅姐儿来了?”

立在外间门口的孙嬷嬷恭敬施礼:“听闻夫人归来,老身带着姐儿来给夫人请安。”

梅姐儿见了平阳,她从李翔的膝上滑下,走到平阳跟前,伸手摸了摸她垂至腰间的秀发,睁大了眼道;“母亲,您可真好看。”

小孩子心思单纯,夸赞起人来是发自内心的。

平阳垂眸看着小女孩清澈如水的目光,她笑了笑,抬手摸了摸她柔软的小脸儿,遂对着玉珠吩咐道:“将咱们从益州带回来的小食给姐儿拿些,还有那些衣裳料子,也拿两匹出来。”

嬷嬷连忙扯着梅姐儿道:“还不谢过夫人。”

梅姐儿与衡哥同龄,不过才五岁,她闻言侧头看向乳母,忽闪着一双清澈的大眼睛疑惑道:“母亲给我东西,我还要谢吗?”

嬷嬷蹙眉道:“自然是要谢的。”

梅姐儿更加不解:“母亲给姐姐们东西,我也没见她们说过谢啊。”

孩子还小,身边有没有生母,她虽也有意识自己与姐姐们不同,但终究是分不太清楚的,再加上平阳对她也是和颜悦色,这便让小孩子觉得她与晴姐她们都唤平阳“母亲”,便是没甚分别的。

平阳止住了乳母,只吩咐道:“快入秋了,嬷嬷将衣料拿回去命她们给姐儿裁新衣服穿罢。”

平阳虽出身亲王之家,但她性情纯真,虽然李翔和娇杏曾经深深的伤害过她,但平阳从不因此迁怒无辜的小孩子,对待梅姐儿,她并没有苛待丝毫。

日久见人心,平阳对待梅姐儿的态度,镇国公府诸人都是有目共睹的。

嬷嬷得了平阳的吩咐,也不再嗔怪梅姐儿,只笑着答应下来,遂带着梅姐儿下去了。

李翔为平阳斟了一盏茶,嘴上道:“旅途劳累,你且去歇会,待晚饭时,我再唤你。”

平阳刚刚沐浴过,正是口渴,她伸手接过李翔奉来的茶水一饮而尽,嘴上答应着他的话,便转身去了内间上了床。

李翔随脚跟上,他见平阳上了床,李翔抬手关上了内间的窗子:“快入秋了,风凉,睡觉时关上才好。”

平阳没有作声,许是太累了,她一合眼,便睡了过去。

得知夫妻二人归来,晚上徐婉宁来寻平阳,妯娌二人叙了好一阵子,相约第二日入宫一起探望静姝。

静姝现下贵为皇后,想要出宫一趟并不容易,所以徐婉宁和平阳便是时常入宫来叙旧,平阳这趟一去益州便是月余,归来后自然是要入宫的。

第二日用罢了早饭,徐婉宁带着平哥儿顺路来到翔林苑与平阳一道走,待出了二门,只见入宫的车马已经备好,身着官服的李翔正立在车前与晴姐儿说话。

徐婉宁笑道:“三弟今日没去上朝?”

李翔见平阳和徐婉宁出来了,他先是扶着长女上了车,嘴上回道:“我昨日才归,总得允我休整一日罢。”

徐婉宁打趣道:“我可听闻你大哥说你现下差事勤勉得很,连圣上都夸赞你呢,怎么?刚有些进步,便又想着偷懒了?”

李翔笑了笑,回道:“我哪里能偷懒,这不是等着与你们一同入宫呢嘛,下半晌我要去御书房求见皇兄的。”

说着,他抬手扶着平阳上了马车,又虚扶着徐婉宁上了车,平哥儿也跨上了马,不待马车启动,他已经是跨马冲出了府门。

徐婉宁连忙扒在车窗上冲着儿子唤道:“平哥儿,你且给我当心些。”

说着,她微微叹了口气,摇头道:“这孩子,真是从小皮到大,若是他能有坤哥儿一半的沉稳,我也省心了。”

平阳问道:“我还正要问你呢,怎没见坤哥儿,昨日在祖母那里便没见他影子。”

徐婉宁回道:“他去北疆了。”

“圣上不是派了些武将去北疆历练嘛,这孩子非要跟去,哎呀!那边时不时的就有蛮子来滋扰,我千叮咛万嘱咐的将他托付给了你那裴家表哥照看着,这孩子虽然沉稳,但到底还是年轻,我不放心得紧。”

平阳笑着道:“坤哥儿素来有志气,你也莫要拘着他。”

说着,他问徐婉宁道:“昨日在祖母那里听你说都已经在为坤哥相看媳妇了?”

“是不是早了点儿。”

徐婉宁回道:“明年他就弱冠了,倒也不早了,不过是先留意着,也不急着先定下来。”

平阳忍不住感叹道:“时间可真快,一晃你都要做婆婆了,呵呵,咱们是不是都老了。”

徐婉宁嗔了眼平阳:“你不过才二十出头,说这话为时尚早,待到你家衡哥儿娶妻后,你再说老才对呢。”

Rebirth of the High-Mansion Matriarch

重生之高门主母
Author:

The heir of the Duke of Zhenguo, Li Ling, is a remarkably talented and brave young man. His delicate wife, Shen, feels stifled living with him. After five years of marriage, she is completely submissive to him, but he shows her no warmth at all. If it were only because of his cold nature, she could accept it. However, when the Xiongnu invade and the ninth princess is forced into a marriage alliance, Li Ling unexpectedly becomes infuriated and requests a military expedition on behalf of his cousin, the princess. She finally understands the reason for his cold treatment toward her. Angered, she decides she no longer wants to stay with him and prepares a divorce letter, just waiting for Li Ling to return and sign it. To her surprise, after one night's sleep, she finds herself back in the early days of her marriage to Li Ling... Li Ling has married a dutiful little wife who is completely submissive to him. During their first month of marriage, she takes care of him comfortably. Recently, however, Li Ling notices something strange about her. In the mornings, she no longer helps him get dressed; during meals, she doesn't serve him dishes or soup anymore; at night, whenever he approaches her, she turns away. The stern and aloof Li Ling can no longer hold back. He moves closer and asks, "Madam, are you feeling unwell?" She merely gives him a dismissive glance. Li Ling scratches his head and says, "Are you perhaps not quite accustomed to life in the residence?" She lowers her head and remains silent. Unable to endure this, Li Ling keeps a close watch on her every move, hoping to understand her heart. One day, while watching a polo match, he sees her giggle as she covers her face while looking at a certain man on the field; another day, he finds her resting her chin on her hand, dazed while reading a talented poet's work; and on another occasion at a palace banquet, he even sees the crown prince give her a faint smile... Li Ling’s heart grows more and more chaotic each day.
