Chapter 315
There were a few deep and shallow wrinkles between his eyebrows. Li Xuanming was wearing a well-fitting uniform, standing with his head held high outside the gate of Anping Hou's Mansion.Beside him stood Li Zhi, a young man who was about the same height as him.

The two were well dressed and their faces were as usual.

Li Xuanming and Li Zhi suffered a lot on the way to move the capital with an army of [-].

Along the way, Li Xuanming became old and Li Zhi became thin.

When the two arrived in Jinlin City, their life gradually improved again.

Li Xuanming's eldest daughter, Li Jingshu, was conferred the title of concubine Shu, and the only disciple of the No. 1 Xunli in the world, and was rumored to be favored by the emperor. Therefore, in the eyes of ordinary people, the Li family should have been a dignified nobleman.

In Jinlin City, the two had no shortage of food and clothing, and lived a decent and comfortable life.

But Li Xuanming knows his own affairs.

In the eyes of others, Li Jingshu is the No. 1 disciple of Xunli in the world, so she is unparalleled in the world.She is also a first-class Concubine Shu. In today's imperial palace, her status is only below that of the Empress, so she is clearly a favored concubine with a stable position.

The Li family with Li Jingshu should also be a prosperous family.

But in fact, the momentum of today's court emphasizing martial arts and despising literature is even brighter.

The number of military officials has been increased and the number of civilian officials has been reduced.

Li Xuanming has never made any achievements in court affairs. Since the civil servants were reduced, Li Xuanming has fallen from a fifth-rank member of the Ministry of Industry to a sixth-rank chief.

As a rule, when a concubine enters the palace, the emperor should confer on his father. Although it may not be an official position with real power, he will usually give the concubine's father a face.

However, Li Xuanming never received any kindness.

Not only that, but Li Xuanming had never received a reward, and even Li Jingshu had been granted the title of concubine Shu, he had no chance to kneel down and thank the emperor for his kindness!

Although Li Xuanming was not very smart in court affairs, he was not a fool either.

When the capital was moved during the Zhou Dynasty, the emperor was naturally troubled with everything.But no matter how busy you are, the word "reward" is still easy to say.

But Li Xuanming has not received a trace of the emperor's favor so far.

Li Xuanming did not dare to speculate on the holy will, but he could also see clearly that the so-called "Concubine Shu Li Jingshu is deeply favored by the emperor" is definitely not true, at least, it is definitely not from the emperor's sincerity.

With such a rumor, Li Xuanming suspected that the emperor told the No. 1 Xun Li in the world.

What makes Li Xuanming feel uneasy all the time is that Li Xuanming feels that the emperor must have known the difference between "Li Jingshu" and "Li Jingjing", but because of Xun Li's face, he kept it hidden. Concubine's father was extremely cold.

Li Xuanming sometimes feels panicked.

The emperor is young and talented, and now the country is in crisis, but most of the courtiers in the court think that the emperor is a wise master, and he is by no means a master who can be fooled.

Now, he is a small head of the sixth grade, but he has fooled the emperor - he has changed a concubine for the emperor.

Sometimes, Li Xuanming would wake up in the middle of the night with a cold sweat on his head, and dreamed that the emperor had issued an edict to punish him for the crime of bullying the emperor, to kill his entire family, and to bring disaster to the nine clans.

Li Xuanming comforted himself again, Jingshu has a master Xunli, the emperor will definitely treat Jingshu sincerely.When Jingshu improves her martial arts, the Li family will be even safer...

But Li Xuanming knew in his heart that either Xun Li could protect his Li family for the rest of his life, or Li Jingshu would one day reach a cultivation base above the peak of the earth rank.Otherwise, his hidden worry will never be eliminated...

Ever since Li Jingshu worshiped Xun Li as her master, she followed Xun Li every day and almost never went home.

A few days ago, Li Xuanming got the news that Li Jingshu's cultivation base has improved a lot, and maybe next year, she will be promoted to the top rank of the human rank.

Li Xuanming and Li Zhi lived in a noisy small courtyard on West Street. Although their lives were far from what they were in the capital, they were both happy when they heard the news that Li Jingshu had improved again.

Last night, Li Xuanming suddenly received a handwritten letter from Li Jingshu.

After reading Li Jingshu's handwritten letter, Li Xuanming couldn't help but turn pale with shock.

It turns out... Li Jingjing is not dead.It turned out that Li Jingjing's alias was Li Ling, and now she is already a strong man in the sky, the third in the world, and she has just been granted the title of Marquis of Anping by the emperor.

Upon receiving this news, Li Xuanming was more surprised than happy.

Others don't know, so how can he not know, how did Li Jingjing disappear back then? !

Now that Li Jingjing is back, she is Lord Marquis and a powerful person in the sky, I'm afraid--this will be a disaster for the Li family, not a blessing!

Knowing that His Majesty's new Anping Marquis Li Ling is the concubine Li Jingjing, Li Xuanming does not regret it.

If he had known that Li Jingjing had such a shocking talent in cultivation, and could win the favor of the emperor, why would he have only valued the eldest daughter of the first wife?

If the Li family had supported Li Jingjing early on, now that this heavenly powerhouse is both a master of martial arts and the favorite concubine of the emperor, what would Li Xuanming have to worry about for the rest of his life?
This trace of regret floated in Li Xuanming's heart for a moment, and then sank.

There is no medicine for regret in this world. For the current plan, if you make a mistake, you can only continue to make mistakes.Jing Shu is already Concubine Shu, this cannot be changed.

If Li Ling could recognize him as his father, forgive Li Jingshu, and then enter the palace as a concubine, this would be the best result.If Li Ling doesn't want to, she has to persuade her not to tear herself apart with Li Jingshu...

Li Xuanming stood in front of the bright and clean Anping Hou's Mansion, feeling a little uneasy, and straightened the joystick again.

Even if Li Jingjing and Li Jingshu have a bad relationship, no matter what, he, Li Xuanming, is the biological father of Marquis Anping!It's the old Hou Ye in this mansion!
Li Xuanming and Li Zhi stood outside the gate of the Marquis of Anping for more than a quarter of an hour, and only those who went in to report came back.

The young man in blue went out and closed the door behind him.

Li Xuanming frowned.

The man in blue stood on the steps, looked down at Li Xuanming and said, "The Marquis said, please come in."

Li Xuanming was overjoyed. Although he felt that the eyes of the housekeeper in the Hou's mansion were a bit "dog's eyes look down on people", but now is not the time to care about these things. When he meets Li Jingjing, when he becomes the housekeeper of the Hou's mansion. Old Hou Ye, of course he can throw the blue-clothed guard out the door.

Li Xuanming glanced at Li Zhi beside him, walked around the guard in blue standing on the steps, and raised his feet to walk up the steps.

"Wait—" The young guard in blue stretched out his hand and blocked Li Xuanming's way.

Li Xuanming was a little angry, and turned his head to glare at the blue-clothed guard: "What do you mean, guard? Didn't the Marquis invite us in? What are you stopping us for? Could it be... at this time, you still want to ask us for gold and silver?" ? When we meet Lord Hou, can we still be with you?"

The young blue-clothed guard kept a straight face, unmoved at all, and just said: "Master Hou invites you in. It's just... the main entrance of Anping Hou's Mansion, how can ordinary people just enter it casually?"

Li Xuanming's cheeks twitched: "You want us to go through the side door? Do you know who we are?"

The young guard in blue had a straight face: "It's not the side door, it's the small door at the back. Either enter through the small door at the back, or get out."
