Unparalleled Concubine

In mid-July of the first year of Taikang, Li Xin returned to the power center of the world after an absence of more than half a year.

Chapter 377

The process of meeting the mother-in-law was very smooth. After all, Li Xin's current conditions, even among many son-in-laws, can be regarded as one of the best.

Among the nine daughters of the first emperor, which princess's son-in-law can serve as a servant in the Ministry of War?Which princess's son-in-law is a marquis?

The empress dowager hated that there was no way for Xiao Jiu and Li Xin to get married right now.

Because the mourning period has not passed.

Originally, according to the rules, the nine princesses had to observe filial piety for three years and not marry, but there was a special case in the Jin Dynasty. When they reached the marriageable age, there was a special permission from the emperor to shorten this time.

Even so, at the earliest, one has to observe filial piety for a whole year, and after the filial piety is over, one has to go to the Mausoleum of the First Emperor to explain the situation, and only after offering sacrifices can one get married.

The first emperor was buried in the twelfth lunar month last year, that is to say, in the fastest case, the nine princesses would not be able to get married until five months later, and they couldn't get married just after one year, that would be too deliberate.

It probably won't be until the middle of the second year of Taikang that Princess Nine will be able to marry Li Xin.

In addition, because Emperor Taikang had only sons and no daughters, the empress dowager also had no granddaughters. The small Zhong Xiaoxiao was very fond of the empress dowager, and she refused to let it go in her arms.

In the afternoon, when Li Xin was about to leave Kunde Palace, the Empress Dowager wanted Zhong Xiaoxiao to stay no matter what she said.

After obtaining Zhong Xiaoxiao's consent, she stayed in the palace with the nine princesses for a few days.

Around Shen time in the afternoon, Li Xin left the imperial city alone.

Master Li had nothing to do with him, he walked around in Yongle Fang, and then turned to the back door of Chen Guogong's mansion.

This was the first time he came to Chen Guogong's mansion, so he didn't bring any wine.

The little father-in-law, Ye Mao, soon came to meet him at the back door. When he saw Li Xin, he pulled Li Xin's sleeve and forced a smile: "When did Brother Li come back? Why didn't you go through the front door?"

Li Xin frowned: "Why is the young master so frowning?"

Ye Mao was a little listless, and while leading the way, he said, "Fourth Uncle left the capital a few months ago, and now I am the only one in the Ye family with nothing to do, like a rice bug, doing nothing."

Ye Mao was born in the 11th year of Shengong, and he is already 21 years old according to the actual age. This age is already a full-grown adult age. Generally, his peers in the capital have a place to go. Only he is still at home. Inevitably will be depressed.

Divine Art is one of the reign titles of Emperor Xianwu...

It is worth mentioning that the Taikang Emperor, who has been passed down from the Great Jin Dynasty to the present, is already the eighth generation of emperors. All emperors in the past have only one year name, except Emperor Wu.

At the beginning of Emperor Wu's ascension to the throne, the reign name was Chui Gong. In the fourth year of Chui Gong, the great war began.

The little father-in-law sighed, and continued: "If I had known back then, when Your Majesty asked me to be the general of Qianniuwei Zhonglang, I would just grit my teeth and do it. I wouldn't be stuck at home now, unable to go anywhere .”

Speaking of this, the young man gritted his teeth and said, "Even Hou Jingde's son Hou Ying is now working in the imperial army. In the whole capital, I am the only one who is worthless."

Li Xin chuckled: "Young master, you told me these things, and I won't tell the old master for you."

Ye Mao coughed, his face was slightly red.

The reason why he couldn't go out to do errands was because his old grandfather Ye Cheng wouldn't let him go out. Now he complained about this in front of Li Xin because he wanted Li Xin to intercede for him.

After all, my old man doesn't listen to anyone's words, but he attaches great importance to Li Xin's words.

Ye Mao was overwhelmed by Li Xin, and became angry from embarrassment.

"Don't talk about falling down, go find him yourself, I won't lead you the way!"

The little prince turned his head and left.

Li Xin shook his head and smiled.

He has been to Chen Guogong's mansion many times, and Li Xin naturally knows where the old man lives.

Not long after, he stood at the gate of the small courtyard.

Knock lightly on the door.

Old man Ye's angry voice came from inside.

"come in."

Li Xin walked in with his hands down.

His name was obtained by Ye Cheng. In a sense, Ye Cheng is already his teacher, but he lacks the title of apprentice.

After entering the courtyard, Li Xin walked all the way into Ye Cheng's study with a smile on his face.

"Grandpa, I'm here to see you."

Ye Cheng looked Li Xin up and down, then patted the table.

"Some people become less and less particular when they become high-ranking officials."

He was complaining that Li Xin didn't bring him wine.

Li Xin laughed and sat opposite the old man.

"I just came out of the palace and came in a hurry. I will definitely make it up for the old man next time."

Old man Ye said disdainfully: "I don't care about your wine?"

Li Xin picked up the tea on the table, poured a cup of tea for the old man, and said with a smile: "The old man is getting old, so he should drink less alcohol, it's not good for his health."

Ye Cheng sneered.

"Li Zhijie, Marquis of Pingnan, never drank alcohol in his life. As a result, this guy died in his 50s. The old man had no alcohol and never had fun. Now four out of seventy, he is still alive and well!"

Li Xin said helplessly: "Everyone is different, how can we compare like this?"

Ye Cheng picked up the tea on the table, raised his head and took a sip, then said with a smile: "For the past 30 years, I have been worried that the Ye family will not last long, so I have worked hard to live until today, and want to protect the Ye family for a few more days. The foundation of the Ye family has been stabilized, whether there is an old man has little influence, and it doesn't matter if he is alive or not."

In the Chengde dynasty, if the Ye family did not have Ye Cheng, it would not necessarily be a fate, but with the coup last year, the status of the Ye family in the new dynasty is as stable as Mount Tai, so the old man Ye said that he is irrelevant .

Li Xin sighed: "You can't say that, you always have to live to be a hundred years old."

This is the truth, with Ye Sheng around, he can help Li Xin a lot.

Old man Ye smiled dumbly, then looked up at Li Xin: "When did you come back?"

"yesterday afternoon."

"You can really hold your breath, and you will be there for half a year."

Old man Ye shook his head and said with emotion: "At your age, I absolutely don't have your concentration. At this juncture, it will take more than half a year to leave."
