Unparalleled Concubine

If I remember correctly, when my sisters married, the lowest status among the concubines was a sixth-rank official. Li Xin is now a sixth-rank official, so...

In fact, this is a very simple idea. A sixth-rank official is not worthy of a princess anyway. If it is possible, then the father and grandfather of this sixth-rank official are very great.

Li Xin didn't have any great grandparents, and he still had a short distance to go to marry Princess Nine.

At the very least, one must become a fifth-rank Habayashi Churo general to be considered a match.

Facing Li Xin's question, Ji Lingxiu blushed and lowered her head without answering.

Li Xin glanced at the flushed Highness Princess curiously, and said with a smile, "Your Highness, it's getting dark, I... leave?"

Ji Lingxiu summoned up her courage to glance at Li Xin, and said slowly, "You seem... to have turned darker."

Li Xin was speechless.

Not only did he turn darker, he ran all the way from Jinling, the capital city, to Youyun in the midsummer season, and went back and forth for more than 2000 miles. !

Li Xin smiled helplessly: "I can't help it. I have an imperial errand to deal with, so I should work harder."

"I heard what Brother Seven said."

Ji Lingxiu plucked up her courage, walked up to Li Xin, stretched out her hand to grab Li Xin's sleeve, and said, "Seventh brother said that you fought against the barbarians in the north, and after returning to the capital, you were busy with the funeral affairs for the people under your command." , I actually didn't blame you..."

She lowered her head and her face was flushed: "I just want to lose my temper and ask you to come and find me..."

It is already very rare for a girl to express these thoughts on her own initiative.

Li Xinxin was also a little moved. He stretched out his hand cautiously, and took the princess into his arms.

Ji Lingxiu hesitated for a while, but in the end she didn't struggle, and was hugged obediently by Li Xin.

"Your Highness, do you like me?"

Ninth Princess snorted softly: "I don't like you, you are a bad person."

"The bad guy will marry you in the future, okay?"

Princess Nine smiled, shook her head and said, "No, you haven't visited me for four or five days since you came back, so I don't want you to marry me."

Li Xin blinked and said with a smile: "After I marry you, I can make you delicious food every day."

Ninth Princess stretched out her hand timidly, and put her arms around Li Xin's waist.

"Then... that's fine."

This day is July 18th of the 25th year of Chengde.

A boy and a girl in Jinling City's Datongfang formally confirmed their relationship.

Li Xin stayed in Princess Qinghe's mansion for another hour, and finally seeing that it was too late, he shook his head at Ji Lingxiu and said with a smile: "Your Highness, it's completely dark outside, I won't go back again Outsiders will gossip when they see it.”

Ji Lingxiu's mind is full of Li Xin now, and she nodded obediently when she heard this: "Then when will you come again?"

"In two days."

Li Xin reached out and touched her head, and said with a smile, "I'm going to do something these few days, and I'll come to accompany you when I'm done."

The two walked outside while talking, and finally the ninth princess sent Li Xin to the back door of the princess mansion. She held Li Xin's hand with a voice as thin as a mosquito.

"When will you... marry me?"

Li Xin hesitated for a while, and finally chose to tell the truth.

"I still do not know."

Li Xin's tone was somewhat meaningful: "But it shouldn't take long."

Chapter 212 Plan ahead

When I left the princess mansion and walked on the street, the moon had already climbed up the branches.

Originally, Li Xin wanted to go to Wei Wangfu to find out the future direction of the Seven Princes, but he was delayed in the Princess Mansion for some time, and it was not convenient to come to the door at the moment, so Li Xin walked towards his home.

After becoming an "imperial eagle dog", there is an additional benefit, that is, there is no need for the capital's curfew, and when walking on the street, those patrolling the streets will avoid Li Xin's Habayashi guard clothes. How dare you come out to trouble him.

Li Xin's home and Princess Qinghe's mansion are both in Datongfang. After walking for a stick of incense, they walked to the house and pushed the courtyard door to see that the house was still lit.

The little girl Zhong Xiaoxiao was sitting on the steps in the yard, and Cui Jiuniang in plain clothes was sitting next to her, holding a book and teaching her to read word by word.

It was already around the hour of Hai, and it was impossible for Cui Jiuniang to come to Li Xin's house alone during this time period. Li Xin glanced at him and saw that the Seventh Prince, who was dressed in blue single clothes, was sitting on a stone bench in the yard, closing his eyes and resting his mind.

Jiuniang looked up and saw Li Xin came back, she patted Zhong's small head with a smile, and said softly, "Go, girl, let's talk inside."

Zhong Xiaoxiao looked up at Li Xin, and after seeing Li Xin nodded, she stood up obediently and entered the room with a bouncing bouncing.

Cui Jiuniang stood up, nodded slightly to Li Xin, and followed in.

Li Xin came to sit next to the Seventh Prince, smiled and said, "When did Your Highness come?"

His Royal Highness King Wei opened his eyes, and glanced at Li Xin angrily.

"I've come since I got your letter, and I've been waiting since sunset."

Li Xin shook his head helplessly.

"Something happened, so I came back late."

His Royal Highness Wei Wang became serious, and said in a deep voice: "You said in your letter that you asked me to check Li Ji for you. Why, is there any news from Father?"

Li Xin nodded: "Your Majesty said... as long as I can pull Li Ji down, let me be the general of Habayashi Weiyouro."

His Royal Highness King Wei let out a long breath.

"It looks like Father is going to attack Nanjiang."

Li Xin shook his head and said: "Not necessarily. If His Majesty is really determined to attack Nanjiang, he probably won't act rashly to startle the snake. This time, Li Ji's move is probably to establish his prestige and balance the power of the court."

"There are too many officials with luggage on the court..."

From Jingzhaoyin Li Ye to Habayashi Youro General Li Ji, there are at least ten officials of the fifth rank and above in the capital who came from the Li family of Zhaojun. It is normal for the Emperor Chengde to start weakening the Li family.

The Seventh Prince shook his head and said, "Brother Xin, you don't understand the rules of the family. The old master Li Zhijie of Pingnanhou's Mansion separated from the Li family in Zhao County. From the day of the separation, The life and death of the Li family in Zhaojun may affect the Pingnanhou Mansion, but the life and death of the Pingnanhou Mansion will not affect the Li family in Zhaojun."

His Royal Highness Wei Wang slowly explained: "If the Li family of Zhao County is a big tree, then the Pingnan Hou Mansion before the separation can be regarded as a branch of this big tree, but after the separation, Pingnan The Hou Mansion is equivalent to the fruit that fell from this big tree sprouting and becoming a new tree."

Inside the Jin Dynasty, there are many families. The Li family of Zhaojun and the Zheng family of Mrs. Yu's mother's family are all famous families, and many of them hold important positions in the court.

This kind of aristocratic family is actually similar to the generals of the Jin Dynasty, but it is not the same, because the lifespan of these families can exceed the dynasty, or even several dynasties, but the generals cannot. The generals can only live and die with one dynasty.
