Unparalleled Concubine

Li Xin looked up at the Seventh Prince with calm eyes: "Your Highness, do you know that I actually did not come to Beijing alone."

Li Xin's voice was calm, as if he was telling a story.

"I went to the city with my uncle, and then we were kicked out of Pingnanhou's mansion and out of the capital city. We were as embarrassed as two dogs."

Although the tone of this 15-year-old boy was calm, it was quite frightening.

"Uncle was frozen to death, the new grave next to the grave just now is Uncle's grave."

Li Xin looked directly at the Seventh Prince for the first time, and said: "I know that I have no ability to make His Highness value me. The reason why His Highness favors me is probably because of my status as the illegitimate son of the Pingnan Hou Mansion."

The young man looked at the Seventh Prince with a sonorous tone.

"Here, I want to repeat to Your Highness that I will never have anything to do with the Pingnanhou Mansion in my life. Even if I do, it will be mutual enemies!"

Having said that, Li Xin took a deep breath.

"That's all Li Xin said. No matter how His Highness treats Li Xin in the future, Li Xin will not have any resentment."

Chapter 41 Clothes

The atmosphere in the carriage fell into an awkward situation.

On the stage of the capital, no one can speak so clearly like Li Xin, because once some words are clarified, especially it will make both parties unable to get off the stage. In fact, Li Xin also understands this truth, but it is not on the level. Nanhou Mansion is his bottom line, so Li Xin said what he just said without hesitation.

The expression on the Seventh Prince's face was slightly stiff, and after a long time, he shook his head and said softly: "Forget it, this matter is not easy to force, just take a step in the future, you are tired today, Let’s go back to the capital first.”

Li Xin nodded, but did not speak.

He could clearly feel that the Seventh Prince's attitude towards him was a little colder, but he didn't care about it, firstly because this matter had to be made clear in advance, otherwise it would be even worse in the future, and secondly, he He was also not very willing to get involved in the battle for the heir apparent, so Li Xin didn't particularly care about the Seventh Prince's attitude.

Cui Jiuniang on the side smiled softly, and said, "Mr. Li is still young, so I don't worry about these things. Anyway, when Pingnan Hou returns to Beijing, you father and son will always meet each other. What will you say then?" It can be said clearly."

This woman with a gentle smile cleverly shifted the key to this matter from Li Xin to Ping Nanhou.

Li Xin opened his mouth, wanting to say something, but in the end he didn't speak.

He still needs to rely on the Seventh Prince to save his life, so he can't turn against them now.

The atmosphere in the carriage became awkward, neither of the two sides spoke, the little girl who was held in Li Xin's arms remained motionless, sleeping soundly.

When it was around Haishi, the carriage stopped at the gate of Datongfang. Li Xin jumped out of the carriage with the girl in his arms, and said to the carriage, "Thank you, Your Highness, for seeing me off."

The Seventh Prince got off the carriage.

"There have been a lot of changes during this period. You can rest at home for a while. You are a very smart person. Even if you don't return to the Pingnanhou Mansion, you can still achieve your own career."

As he said that, he patted Li Xin on the shoulder and said softly: "After the new year, this king will find an errand for you in the capital. moved you."

In this era, there is a huge gap between civilians and officials. It can even be said that there are two types of people. It's just that one person comes out to cover the bag, but if the Pingnanhou's mansion kills a person with official status for no reason, it will arouse public indignation in the officialdom, and they will stand together to put pressure on the Pingnanhou's mansion.

The reason is very simple, today you can kill him for no reason, who knows if you will kill me tomorrow?

Even a wealthy family in the capital like the Pingnanhou Mansion, it is impossible to kill a person with official status for no reason.

Li Xin nodded, and said in a respectful tone, "Thank you, Your Highness."

When the old man died, Li Xin felt somewhat uncomfortable, but after a person died, he still had to live his life. As the Seventh Prince said, only by getting an official position can he ensure that he can live under the Pingnan Houfu, and only by living can he continue to live. .

The Seventh Prince smiled and nodded, and said softly: "The New Year's Day will be in a few days. During this time, there are many things to be busy in the capital and the palace. This king may not have time to visit you. What do you have to do?" , go to Deyilou to find Jiuniang, she can help you with most things in the capital."

Li Xin nodded lightly, and understood what the Seventh Prince meant.

One must know that when he was in the Wei Palace two days ago, His Royal Highness Wei Wang also said that he could go to the Wei Palace to find him at any time. In just a few words, Li Xin's "level" was lowered from the Wei Palace to the Deyi Building.

But this may not be a good thing for Li Xin.

After bidding farewell to the Seventh Prince's carriage, Li Xin hugged the sleeping little girl and returned to his yard. He first fetched a basin of hot water, then woke up the little girl, washed her face and feet, and then stood by Beside the charcoal girl, after she fell into a deep sleep, Li Xin went back to sleep in his room.

After the charcoal seller left, the little girl's mood has been very unstable. During this time, Li Xin had to watch her well.

While Li Xin was watching the charcoal girl sleeping, the Seventh Prince's carriage had already parked in the yard of Deyi Building, and in Cui Jiuniang's bedroom on the third floor of Deyi Building, Seventh Prince Ji Wen had already taken off her coat and was half lying on the side of the bed with an expression The gentle Jiuniang squatted on the ground, helping him wash his feet.

At this time, His Royal Highness King Wei no longer had the gentle appearance just now, his complexion was a little unsightly, and he let out a low snort.

"This Li Xin really doesn't know how to flatter him."

The reason why he handed out the olive branch to Li Xin many times was that one day he could send Li Xin to Pingnan Hou's mansion. Now, with just a few words, Li Xin completely destroyed his plan. The Seventh Prince was not angry.

Jiuniang, who was washing his feet, stopped her hands and said softly: "My lord, he has a resentment towards Pingnanhou's mansion in his heart, this resentment can only be dissipated by Pingnanhou Li Shen, before the resentment is gone, we can't force him to .”

His Royal Highness King Wei slowly closed his eyes, and said in a low voice, "You mean, Li Xin will reconcile with the Pingnanhou Mansion?"

Cui Jiuniang nodded slightly.

"Blood is thicker than water. He dared to come to the capital from Yongzhou not far away. Naturally, it was to return to the Li family gate wall. It wasn't that Mrs. Yu obstructed him and did too much, which annoyed him. At this time, he might already be a normal person. The Second Young Master of the Nanhou Mansion is here, since he has come to the capital and is unwilling to leave, he will eventually enter the Pingnanhou Mansion in the future."

Speaking of this, Cui Jiuniang paused, and continued: "Your Highness, you are not in a hurry at this moment, let's continue to favor him now, and we will always be able to use him in the future."

What Cui Jiuniang said is actually not bad at all. If it was the last "Li Xin", no matter how wronged he was, if he had the opportunity to enter the Pingnan Hou Mansion and become a princely son, how could that Li Xin grit his teeth and bow his head to enter the Hou Mansion? Go, but the current Li Xin is no longer that unlucky kid. The current Li Xin has a complete adult soul in his body.

The Seventh Prince closed his eyes and thought for a moment, finally opened his eyes slowly, and said in a deep voice: "You are right, since he stayed in the capital, he more or less wanted to return to the Pingnanhou Mansion in his heart, so don't be impatient at this time .”

Speaking of this, the Seventh Prince coughed and said softly: "Just continue to be good friends with him in the future. When Kaichun finds him an official position, he will be grateful to this king no matter what in the future."

Jiuniang smiled and said, "Your Highness is wise."

The Seventh Prince took a look at this graceful Jiuniang, squinted his eyes and said with a smile: "In terms of wisdom, Jiuniang, you are much wiser than this king."

Cui Jiuniang forced a smile on her face, and was about to respond when she suddenly heard the seventh prince's slightly commanding tone.

"Undress."

Cui Jiuniang froze for a moment, then her eyes dimmed, she lowered her head and began to untie her belt.

Although she is very intelligent and helps Wei Wang's mansion take care of such a big proud building, but in front of the Seventh Prince, she is just a plaything.

A gust of evening wind blew out the red candles in the bedroom.

Chapter 42 Dumplings

Chinese New Year is coming soon.

Although there is no one in the family, this year is still to be lived, otherwise life would be too boring. After a few days, the charcoal girl's mood gradually improved, and she no longer hid in her room crying every day. When Li Xin was busy in the kitchen, the little girl would also wear a clumsy padded coat and follow behind Li Xin to help.

It is natural to eat dumplings during the Chinese New Year. Li Xin bought more than a dozen catties of pork from the market, chopped it into minced meat, added egg liquid and other auxiliary materials to make dumpling fillings, and made half a pot full of dumpling fillings. , Li Xin rolled out some dumpling wrappers, and then taught the little girl how to make dumplings.

This dumpling was Li Xin's favorite food in his previous life. He could eat three bowls of dumplings by himself during Chinese New Year at home.
