MTL - Rebirth of the High Gate Mistress-Chapter 711 [Fan] The belt is getting wider and you will never regret it (1)

To the southeast of the imperial city is where the dignitaries of the capital gather. Among the clusters of tall gated courtyards, there is a house with the longest history. If you count it carefully, this house has a history of more than 300 years. Yes, it was built in the early years of the founding of the Qi Dynasty.

This house is solemn and antique, revealing the ancient charm of a century-old family.

The door of this house is nearly two feet high and three to four feet wide. The door is carved with a tiger, which looks lifelike, majestic and intimidating. In front of the high gate, there stood a pair of stone lions half as tall as a man. Due to the passage of time, the heads of the stone lions had been polished smooth and clean by wind and rain.

This is the tallest gate in the capital, the famous Zhenguo Palace.

In front of the gate of the Zhenguogong Mansion is the busiest long street. Following the sound of horse hoofbeats, a young man in bright clothes and an angry horse returns astride the horse.

He was wearing a red brocade robe with green bamboo patterns embroidered on the chest. He wore a purple gold crown that was the most popular among the rich and powerful in the capital. He had a handsome face and was almost enchanting in his beauty.

The young man reined in his horse in front of the house. A young man had already greeted him enthusiastically. The young man quickly got off his horse and threw the horse's rein to the young man from a distance.

This aura is flowing like clouds and flowing water, and every gesture is filled with a free and uninhibited demeanor.

“Second Young Master, you are back.” The person in charge of the door also came out to welcome him, with a smile on his face and greeted the young man enthusiastically.

The young man nodded slightly and asked, "Did mother go to Mr. Cai's house today?"

This young man is Li Ping, the second son of the Duke of Zhen, the son of Li Xian, the chief minister of the cabinet, and the nephew of the emperor.

The second young master of the palace is madly in love with Cai Yimei, the only daughter of the Guozijian Jiji Restaurant. Because Li Ping has a free and unrestrained personality and is somewhat flamboyant in his actions, everyone in the palace knows about this matter.

The steward saw the young master asking questions and replied with a smile: "Madam went to Mr. Cai's house at noon and has returned now."

“I heard that my wife went to propose marriage to the young master. Haha, congratulations to the young master.”

"It's hard to say whether it will succeed or not." Although Li Ping said this, a thick smile already appeared on the corner of his mouth, and he hurried towards his mother's Bi Tang residence.

“Mother, I heard that you went to Mr. Cai’s house today?”

Li Ping asked impatiently as soon as he stepped across the threshold.

When Xu Wanning saw the youngest son, she rolled her eyes at him subconsciously and snorted: "I don't want to, so you have to give up this time."

As he spoke, he complained again: "I said it's impossible for someone to like you. You brat, you insist on asking me to propose marriage. Hey! I've never been so embarrassed."

As soon as Li Ping heard this, his dazzling eyes immediately dimmed. He frowned and asked, "But didn't Mrs. Cai clearly agree? Why did she go back on her word?"

Xu Wanning sighed and said, "It's not that the Queen is so troubled by you that she mentioned this matter to Madam Cai. How could Madam Cai please your second aunt's face, so she reluctantly agreed."

“Then why did she regret it again?” Li Ping asked rhetorically.

Xu Wanning said: "Although Mr. Cai and Mrs. Cai agreed, Miss Cai is not willing."

"How could this happen?" Li Ping knitted his brows in anger and said angrily: "I studied with her in the palace, and we have been in love for so many years. I don't believe she doesn't like me."

"shut up!"

Xu Wanning stopped her son, and then said seriously: "You kid, don't talk nonsense about whether you like it or not. If these words spread, wouldn't it damage the reputation of this girl?"

Li Ping, however, was unwilling to give in: "Anyway, since Mrs. Cai agrees, I just don't believe that Mei'er will not want to marry me. No, I have to ask her in person."

With that said, Li Ping raised his feet and was about to walk out, but Xu Wanning pulled him back: "You brat, since I don't want to, why do you ask me something? Don't you think it's embarrassing?" It gave her a good face, and now that her youngest son was looked down upon by others, Xu Wanning was holding back her anger, but seeing the tears shining in her son's eyes, she couldn't help but soften her heart.

"I heard that the Miss Cai family has someone she likes, so she doesn't want to do it. It's not sweet to be coercive. My son, just listen to your mother and give up on this."

Hearing this, Li Ping looked at his mother and asked, "Who does Meier like?"

Seeing that his mother refused to say anything, he jumped to his feet and said, "If you don't tell me, are you trying to kill me?"

Xu Wanning glanced at her son's infatuated look. She sighed helplessly and replied, "Miss Cai has taken a liking to the current Tan Hua Lang."

Li Ping asked in surprise: "Is this the one who came from a merchant family and was named Wang Han?"

"What's wrong with the merchant? Who makes people with high academic standards." Xu Wanning rolled her eyes at her son and said: "I heard that Tan Hua Lang is not only talented, but also a talented person. He became a disciple of Mr. Cai after high school. Miss Cai is Master Cai's only daughter, and she is also good at poetry, calligraphy and learning. She is a talented and beautiful woman, so I don't know how well-matched she is."

Li Ping turned pale with anger and glared at Xu Wanning: "Mother, am I your son, or is the man named Wang your son?"

 Xu Wanning hurriedly grabbed her youngest son and said kindly to comfort her: "My mother didn't mean to be angry with you, it's just that Miss Cai's daughter is really not suitable for you. Don't be sad. From now on, my mother will find someone good for you."

Then Xu Xu said: "How about your uncle's third cousin? She has liked to cling to you since she was a child. Now the child is getting more and more beautiful. Her appearance and temperament are not inferior to that of Miss Cai's family. Your uncle was still talking to you a while ago. "Tell me, I want to marry your cousin"

"Mother, don't say any more." Before Xu Wanning finished speaking, Li Ping planned to say: "I don't want anyone except Mei'er."

 Having said that, Li Ping strode out of Bitangju regardless of Xu Wanning's plea to stay.

Guangyou Temple outside the capital is the most popular.

 Today is the first day of the Lunar New Year, and Li Ping arrived early on the only way to Guangyou Temple.

In the distance, he saw a gorgeous carriage passing by. Although it was far apart, Li Ping recognized it at a glance as the carriage and horses of the Cai Mansion.

He hurriedly rode up to meet Li Ping. When the coachman saw Li Ping, he stopped the carriage and greeted him warmly: "So it's Mr. Li, where did you come from?"

"I went hunting, what a coincidence." Li Ping said a few perfunctory words, then drove his horse to the car and asked Cai Yimei in the car: "You didn't even say hello when you saw me?"

The car window was not opened, and only the girl’s clear voice came from inside: “I don’t want to delay Mr. Li’s hunting.”

As he spoke, he teased: "The hunting ground is in Beicheng, and this side is the temple. Did Young Master Li take the wrong road?"

Li Ping grinned and replied: "Before I kill a living being, I want to go to the Bodhisattva to worship and beg the Bodhisattva to forgive me for my sin of killing a living being in vain."

A disdainful sneer came from the car: "You have not committed many sins. I am afraid that even the Buddha, who saves all sentient beings, would be so angry after hearing your confession."

“Am I so heinous in your eyes?” Li Ping asked angrily.

Yi Mei replied: "I'm going to burn incense to pray for my sick grandmother, and I don't have time to quarrel with you here."

With that said, he called the driver to set off.

Li Ping chased and asked: "I heard that you are getting engaged, is that right?"
