Unparalleled Concubine

The smile on the emperor's face faded.

“How come you see?”

"Sending the trilogy to Nanshu this time is Li Shen's best opportunity. If he doesn't take advantage of this opportunity to send the deposed prince, it will be difficult to have such an opportunity in the future. In a year or two, he himself will If it is hard to protect yourself, it is even more impossible to send the deposed prince out."

Having said that, Li Xin's expression was serious.

"Your Majesty, if the Pingnan Army in Southern Border has an abolished prince, they will have an extra hole card. When His Majesty regains Southern Border in the future, there will be many difficulties."

The emperor was silent for a while, then raised the wine glass in his hand and clinked a glass with Li Xin.

The newly appointed emperor smiled confidently: "Taikang Taikang is for peace in the world and well-being for all people. Since I dare to use this year name, I won't be afraid of those clowns."

As he spoke, he patted Li Xin on the shoulder, and said in a deep voice, "Brother Xin, are you willing to work with me to create a prosperous and prosperous world?"

Li Xin lowered his head and said respectfully: "Your Majesty, I have sent people to secretly follow behind these Pingnan Hou's tribes. Once the figure of the abandoned prince appears among them..."

The emperor waved his hand, signaling Li Xin not to continue talking.

"Brother Xin, I can rest assured that you do things."

The emperor looked up at the sky and saw that the sun was about to set. He turned his head to look at the sunset and murmured to himself, "It's time to enter the unitary hour."

"In three more hours, Chengde's 18th year will be over."

Yes, the 18-year Chengde period will come to an end in just three hours.

Three hours later, after Zishi, it will be the first day of the first month of the first year of Taikang.

The Son of Heaven glanced back at Li Xin, and said with a smile, "Brother Xin will also stay tonight, how many drinks with me?"

Li Xin hesitated for a moment, then bowed his head and said, "Your Majesty, there is a younger sister in my family, and I have to celebrate the New Year with her..."

The emperor froze for a moment, then smiled dumbly.

"Forget it, I won't force you, you go back..."

Chapter 339 New Year's Eve

Li Xin now lives in Yonglefang, which is very close to the imperial palace. Not long after leaving the imperial palace, he returned to his Jing'an Hou Mansion.

Now he couldn't be considered a loner.

The predecessor of Jing'an Hou's Mansion was the Qi Wang Mansion of the Fourth Prince. The place is not big in the Wang Mansion, but compared with ordinary houses, I don't know how big it is. Therefore, many people need to take care of the mansion. Now There are only one or two hundred servants of the Jing'an Hou Mansion.

Some of these people were bestowed by the emperor, and some were bought by Li Xin asking the housekeeper to go to the dental shop.

In fact, the house is bigger and there is no difference from before. After all, Li Xin and Zhong Xiaoxiao are the only two people in the Li family now, no matter how big the house is, it is still vacant.

Today is New Year's Eve. After entering the house, Li Xin took Zhong Xiaoxiao and two people to make dumplings in the kitchen. Several maidservants were terrified and waved at Li Xin: "Master, you It's... how can such a noble person do such a cheap thing, let us do it..."

These maidservants were the servant girls that Li Xin used in Datongfang. They followed Li Xin from Datongfang to Jing'an Hou Mansion. Now they can be regarded as promoted, and everyone has become a small steward of Jing'an Hou Mansion.

Li Xin raised his head and glanced at the maidservants.

"You can't do it, it's not delicious."

He himself is a lazy person, the reason why he is willing to make dumplings by himself today is more or less because he wants to get back some of the taste of his previous life.

The maids looked at each other, feeling helpless, they could only follow Li Xin and Zhong Xiaoxiao to work in the kitchen.

Zhong Xiaoxiao was still young and made the dumplings very slowly, so several girls followed suit to help make the dumpling wrappers. Li Xin rolled up his sleeves and sat among a group of women. He turned to look at one of the seventeen or eighteen-year-old maids, and said Asked: "What's your name?"

The servant girl was making dumplings at first, but she was so frightened that she shook her hands, she quickly replied, "Master Hou, my servant's surname is Lin, and my name is Wei."

In fact, Li Xin has been with them for a while, but in the past few months, Li Xin has devoted himself to helping the king of Wei, and rarely spends time at home on weekdays. Naturally, he doesn't know what these maids are called name.

Li Xin nodded and continued to ask, "What about you?"

"Slave...Slave servant Huang Qin..."

"Slave Chen Rong'er..."

Li Xin secretly memorized the names of these maidservants one by one, and then asked, "Are they all from the Secretary of the Jiaofang?"

These people were all given to Li Xin by His Royal Highness King Wei at the beginning. There are ten people in total.

The Jiaofang Division is the place where people are legally traded in this era. When some officials commit crimes, their female relatives will be sent to the Jiaofang Division as slaves. These maids are all good-looking, and they all have names and surnames. Obviously They are all from Jiaofang Division.

Chen Wei, who spoke first, said timidly, "Back to Lord Hou, all the sisters are from Jiaofang Division..."

While talking, the dumplings were almost finished, the little girl Zhong Xiaoxiao immediately stood up, and ran to the stove to light the fire excitedly.

This is her old job, this girl wants to light the fire whenever she has something to do.

Li Xin also stood up and stretched himself.

He turned his head and glanced at these maidservants lightly, and said with a smile: "No matter where you were before, you will eat at my house in the future, and you will buy me here if you sell your body. If I don't nod, none of you can go out. , think about your own situation."

Among these people, there must be the eyeliner of the emperor.

In fact, the emperor could send them a message to get rid of their citizenship, but it is impossible for the emperor to turn against Li Xin because of a few maidservants.

Li Xin's simple warning would not make them betray the emperor from now on, but it could somewhat restrain them, and by the way, he also told the emperor that he knew that he was overseeing the Jing'an Houfu.

This is Li Xin's tactful expression of his dissatisfaction.

It may not be useful, but you have to have an attitude. You have to tell His Royal Highness Wei Wang who has just ascended the throne of God that Li Xin is not completely temperless.

Several maidservants hurriedly saluted Li Xin, their voices trembling.

"Master Hou, we are all in trouble at home, and we are satisfied to be entrusted to a kind family like Master Hou and not be bullied. We sisters are all well-behaved, but we have not done anything to offend Master Hou. ..."

Among these maidservants, there must be the eyeliner of the emperor, but it is impossible for all of them to be the eyeliner of the emperor, so a few of them were terrified, deeply afraid that they had done something wrong.

At this time, the water was almost boiled, Li Xin ignored them, picked up the dumplings, and went to eat the dumplings.

Now that he is fledgling, he can only tolerate these things.

Even if you see through it, you can't say it through.

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

The next morning, New Year's Day.

This day is the real New Year's Day, and it is also the first day of the first year of Taikang. Hundreds of officials congratulated the emperor one after another, congratulating the holy emperor on his enthronement. Many ministers were rewarded.

Among them, the Jing'an Houfu's reward was the most generous, so rich that some censors couldn't help but want to play admonishment.
