Unparalleled Concubine

The emperor slowly closed his eyes, feeling colder again, so he tightened his clothes and moved closer to the stove.

....................................

Time passed quickly, nearly half a month passed in a blink of an eye, and time came to the end of Chengde's 18th year.

This day is the eighth day of the twelfth lunar month, which is the day to drink Laba porridge.

The courtyard of Li Xin's house was quite lively that day, not only His Royal Highness the King of Wei brought his eldest son to celebrate the festival with him, but also the Ninth Princess, who was dressed in a snow-white jacket, put on the apron that Li Lang made, and was busy working around Li Xin's house.

Although she was delicious, she had never cooked by herself. One day, on a whim, she asked Li Xin to teach her how to cook. It happened to be the Laba Festival, so Li Xin took her to cook Laba porridge in the kitchen.

The process of cooking porridge is not complicated, just put in the prepared ingredients one by one. At noon, the Princess Qinghe finally cooked the first pot of work in her life under Li Xin's hands-on guidance.

After she tasted it herself, she felt very satisfied, so she immediately filled a bowl, held it in her hand and blew a few breaths, found Prince Wei who was playing in the main hall, and squatted down, her eyes bent into crescent moons.

"Come on, little Yan'er, aunt feed you porridge."

The Ninth Princess is the younger sister of King Wei and the aunt of the two sons of Prince Wei's mansion. When she was not out of the palace, she loved these two little nephews very much, and often went out of the palace to visit them at King Wei's mansion.

His Royal Highness King Wei who was sitting on the side glared at his sister.

"What about mine?"

Ninth Princess rolled her eyes mercilessly.

"It's in the pot, fill it up yourself."

At this time, Li Xin came in with two bowls of porridge, put one of the bowls in front of His Royal Highness Wei Wang, and then walked towards the back room with the other bowl.

His Royal Highness King Wei chuckled: "Just let her come out, we are not outsiders, we will become a family in the future, we can't just hide from people all the time, can we?"

He was talking about Li Xin's younger sister, Zhong Xiaoxiao.

Li Xin smiled and said: "The little girl suffered a lot when she was a child. It's normal to be afraid of life. She will get better with time. It's not easy to force her at this time. I'll just take it."

The Seventh Prince said helplessly: "Then you just ask the maid at home to send it over, and you have to run there yourself."

Li Xin narrowed his eyes and smiled narrowly: "His Royal Highness's craftsmanship is very expensive, and I am afraid that His Majesty will not be able to eat it, so naturally I have to deliver it in person."

Ji Lingxiu, who was making Xiao Shizi happy, raised her head and glared at Li Xin when she heard this, but Li Xin had already left the front hall and walked to the backyard.

A bowl of porridge was delivered to Zhong Xiaoxiao, Li Xin patted her head, and said with a smile: "Drink it quickly, you will be blessed if you drink Laba porridge."

The little girl nodded obediently, holding the big bowl with both hands, and began to drink the porridge slowly.

Li Xin patted her head again, turned around and walked to the front hall. At this time, Princess Qinghe had disappeared with her little prince, and Li Xin slowly sat next to His Royal Highness King Wei.

Wei Wang took a sip of porridge, glanced at Li Xin, and asked, "It's rare that Xiao Jiu cooks, and you don't want to drink a bowl?"

Li Xin blinked.

"Your Highness, you eat first, and I will eat again if there is no problem."

His Royal Highness the King of Wei was stunned for a moment, then realized that Li Xin was joking, and immediately scolded: "How can you exaggerate what you said, no matter how little Xiao Jiu can't cook, she won't reach this level."

After saying this, he took another two sips, squinted his eyes and said with a smile: "You are still lucky, brother. I have watched Xiao Jiu grow up all these years, and this is the first meal she cooked."

Li Xin smiled wryly, "I still do most of the work."

King Wei smiled at first, and then suddenly said in a muffled voice: "Those subordinates of the fourth brother have been released."

The last time Chen Zhong went to the gate of Changle Palace to write a letter, but the emperor didn't respond. Instead, Chen Zhong and others were arrested. Now the two sides have been in a stalemate for half a month, and His Royal Highness is finally willing to let them out.

Li Xin frowned slightly.

"Is the prince subdued?"

King Wei shook his head slowly.

"The edict of the East Palace requires the three of us to leave immediately after the Shangyuan Festival, and if we delay for one day, we will lose the nobles and become the people."

Having said that, King Wei glanced at Li Xin.

"On the Eastern Palace edict, several prime ministers have reprinted it."

Chapter 307 Prepare to move

Several prime ministers have added their seals, it is not just a simple edict of the crown prince, from the perspective of the crown prince's status as acting as the king's official, this is actually no different from the imperial decree, that is to say, the crown prince's move was approved by several prime ministers of.

Such a legally binding edict must be followed, otherwise it will be against the national law.

Li Xin poured a cup of hot tea, held it in his hands to warm up his hands, and said in a deep voice, "It seems that Mr. Ye has hit the mark."

As Chen Guogong Ye Cheng said, His Majesty has no intention of being easy to store, so even if the crown prince is notorious now, his status is still unshakable, and he even has the ability to issue this edict.

His Royal Highness King Wei took a deep breath, squinted his eyes and said, "Our eyesight is still worse than that of seniors like Ye Guogong. Hindsight."

"It's better to be late than unaware."

Li Xin took a sip of tea, and then said in a low voice, "Your Highness, we can now determine the time to do it."

King Wei stood up from his chair and said silently: "This is not a place to talk, go to your study."

Li Xin also stood up, and the two of them walked towards Li Xin's study one after the other.

In the past, his home had only three rooms, and there was no room for a study, but now that Li Xin is wealthy, the three yards are enough for him to set aside a study.

In the study, His Royal Highness King Wei sat on Li Xin's seat, knocking on the table with his hands, and said in a deep voice: "As far as the current situation is concerned, the third brother and the fourth brother have no manpower available. If the crown prince does not abolish, they will Two will have no chance, so we only need to deal with the Prince's family."

Li Xin nodded and said: "To put it bluntly, it is the inner guard."

The inner guard, one of the eight guards in Miyagi, controls [-] inner guards, and there are also school captains and captains in the inner guards, but they don't have two ranks, from the captain to the top, they are the inner guards. The eunuch is in charge.

This is the real left and right hand of the emperor. Although Habayashi and the inner guards are on duty in the Forbidden Palace, the inner guards are fundamentally guarding the Forbidden Palace.

If Habayashi defends an incident, he will be the first to confront the inner guard.

If you can't even take down the inner guard, it's useless to say anything.

After Li Xin coughed, he asked, "Is there a way, Your Highness, to set the inner palace on fire?"

"There is, but there is."

His Royal Highness Wei Wang lowered his head, hesitant: "But I'm afraid it will implicate the concubine mother."

The mother of His Royal Highness the King of Wei and the Ninth Princess is Concubine Shu of the Emperor of Chengde. This Concubine Shu has been in the palace for more than 20 years and has a good relationship with the Emperor. pray.

She is very prestigious in the palace, and it is very easy to set fire in the palace.
