Unparalleled Concubine

Li Xin stayed with her here most of the night, and only went back to his room to sleep for a while in the early morning.

The next morning, before dawn, Zhong Xiaoxiao ran to Li Xin's room in a panic, saying that he had a nightmare, and couldn't help wiping away tears.

Li Xin shook his head, got up and patted her on the head, ready to get her something to eat.

He stayed in the capital for a short time, and the matter in the north has not yet come to fruition. He will leave the capital in a day or two at most to catch up with Wang Zhong and his convoy, but seeing the little girl's state, Li Xinxin feels a little worried.

Li Xin hugged her into his arms, touched the little girl's head, and said with a smile: "Okay, the bad guys have been driven away by my brother, and no one will come to catch Xiaoxiao again."

Li Xin put her on his bed, and said softly, "You are sleeping for a while, brother will get you something to eat, okay?"

Zhong Xiaoxiao didn't sleep well at first, and was a little tired after crying for a while, and finally fell into a deep sleep on Li Xin's bed.

Li Xin looked at the sky, got up and washed his face, and after standing for half an hour, he went to the kitchen to steam another bowl of egg custard for the little girl.

Under the panic, you should eat some mild things and take care of yourself slowly.

After the two brothers and sisters finished their breakfast, there was a light knock on the door of the yard.

Li Xin opened the door, and the Seventh Prince pushed the door and walked in. After seeing Zhong Xiaoxiao behind Li Xin, His Royal Highness Wei Wang heaved a long sigh of relief: "I went to bed early yesterday, and after waking up, Cai knew that Xiaoxiao was there." Alright, is this girl alright?"

Li Xin smiled and said, "It's nothing serious, it's just that she was timid and scared."

The Seventh Prince stepped out of the courtyard, glanced at Zhong Xiaoxiao, shook his head and said: "Children are most afraid of being scared, and it's not a trivial matter if they hurt their spirits. I'll go find a doctor to prescribe a medicine to calm the nerves later. Xiaoxiao drinks a few doses of medicine and sleeps a little longer."

The child's mind is still not sound, and it is easy to cause accidents if it is frightened. Li Xin nodded when he heard this, and said softly: "Thank you, Your Highness."

"Brother Xin is too polite."

His Royal Highness the King of Wei sat down in the main hall of Li Xin's house, and after drinking a sip of tea, he said with a smile: "Speaking of which, early this morning, there was a decree from the palace to give that guy all his martial arts and real duties. Cut it off, now Li Xun is a common man besides his identity as the son of the Marquis of Pingnan."

In a broad sense, the heirs of the princes can be called sons, but this is only used to call the heirs of the princes on weekdays.

The Seventh Prince laughed and said: "Father also grounded Li Chun for a year. Taking this opportunity, he sent two or three hundred internal guards to the Pingnanhou's Mansion to supervise. Two or three hundred people can already control the Pingnanhou's Mansion. It's solid."

In the Pingnanhou Mansion in the capital, there are more than 1000 roommates. If these tribes have swords and armors in hand, their combat effectiveness may not be worse than that of the two guards. This is also one of the hidden dangers of the capital. This time, the emperor of Chengde can say It was an excuse to send the inner guards into Pingnanhou's mansion, so that if there was any movement in Pingnanhou's mansion, the palace would know immediately.

At the very least, if the Li family changes, the Pingnanhou Mansion in the capital will definitely be inseparable.

This is also one of the reasons why Madam Yu wrote to Nanjiang.

Li Xin also sat down, took a sip of tea, and said in a deep voice: "Your Highness, the Pingnanhou Mansion in the capital is no longer a threat. We should not focus on them anymore. It is serious to continue selling wine. Your Highness is here How many wine shops are there in the capital?"

His Royal Highness Wei Wang said with a wry smile: "I have raised some money around these days, and borrowed some from a few uncles, and finally set up three wineries. As long as there is enough spring wine, it is not a problem to steam a thousand catties of wine a day. big."

One thousand catties of wine, that is, fifty altars, this amount has far exceeded the current sales volume of Deyilou, but Li Xin and the others are preparing to sell wine all over the country in the future, so it is not too much right now.

Li Xin nodded, and said, "After I go north, Your Highness will follow what we discussed before. In this way, at most two or three years, the Wei Palace will no longer be short of expenses."

"The only thing we need to pay attention to is that this method of steaming wine should not be released for a short period of time, otherwise if another wine appears and bids maliciously with us, the money we will earn in the future will be much less."

"Don't worry, Brother Xin."

His Royal Highness Wei Wang said in a deep voice: "The people I use to steam the wine are all bought servants. If they can't get out of the wine shop, there won't be any problem in a short time."

Having said that, he looked up at Li Xin, and said, "Brother Xin is going to... when will you leave Beijing?"

"Tomorrow."

Li Xin said helplessly: "It's been delayed for a day or two, and if we don't leave Beijing, we probably won't be able to catch up with Wang Zhong and the others."

The Seventh Prince glanced at Zhong Xiaoxiao, and said softly: "Then Xiaoxiao should be placed in the Deyi Building. There are many nursing homes in the Deyi Building. Generally speaking, nothing will happen. Xiaoxiao has also been frightened these two days. Let Jiu Mother will help take care of it, it will be much better."

Li Xin nodded and said, "I have the same idea, but I'm just troubling Jiu Niang."

"No trouble, no trouble."

His Royal Highness Wei Wang laughed and said: "Jiu Niang is fine on weekdays, and she likes Xiao Xiao very much. If you send Xiao Xiao there, it's too late for her to be happy."

In the evening, Li Xin sent Zhong Xiaoxiao to Deyilou. After seeing Zhong Xiaoxiao, Jiu Niang couldn't help wiping her tears, and hugged the little girl into her arms.

Li Xin bent towards Zhong Xiaoxiao: "Sister Cui, I will leave Beijing tomorrow, and Xiaoxiao will entrust it to you."

Jiuniang held Zhong Xiaoxiao in her arms, looked up at Li Xin, and took a deep breath: "Don't worry, Mr. Li, I will take care of her no matter what."

Li Xin took out a prescription from his sleeve and handed it to Jiuniang: "She has been in shock for the past few days, she needs to take some medicine to calm her nerves, please trouble Jiuniang."

Cui Jiuniang took the prescription, feeling a little sad again.

"This girl is timid, those villains are really heinous..."

As she spoke, she was about to shed tears again.

…………

While Li Xin was talking to Cui Jiuniang in the Deyi Building, His Royal Highness King Wei was called into the palace by Emperor Chengde. In the study of Changle Palace, His Royal Highness King Wei respectfully knelt down in front of his father.

"Father."

Emperor Chengde held the memorial in his hand, without raising his head: "Get up and talk."

The Seventh Prince stood beside the Emperor Chengde with his hands down, with a respectful expression.

"Father summoned his servants, what orders do you have?"

His Majesty the Emperor put down the memorial in his hand, looked up at the Seventh Prince, and said calmly, "When will Li Xin leave Beijing?"

"tomorrow."

Emperor Chengde laughed and said: "This little baby is very powerful. Last time he came back from southern Xinjiang and reported the matter in southern Xinjiang, I thought the matter had come to an end. I didn't expect this child to stay One hand."

The Seventh Prince nodded and said: "Lieutenant Li... is indeed very resourceful."

Emperor Chengde narrowed his eyes: "But he is not without weaknesses. After this incident, his braids were exposed."

After all, His Majesty the Emperor glanced at the Seventh Prince with a calm expression: "Have you seen his little braid?"

"My son saw it."

His Royal Highness Wei Wang nodded, and said slowly: "It's just that this little braid is useful now, but in the future... it may not be useful."

People always change.

Emperor Chengde smiled lightly: "I see people are very accurate, this little braid will probably be useful all the time."

Chapter 184

Early the next morning, when Li Xin was about to leave, Ji Lingxiu's sedan chair from Princess Qinghe's residence blocked his door.
