Unparalleled Concubine

Page 440

Li Xin shook his head, feeling a little helpless.

Farmers are very obsessed with the field. No matter what, the aunt of the Chen family will never give up the few acres of land at home, and no one can persuade her.

Chen Chuqi naturally wanted to go back with her mother.

The little girl, Zhong Xiaoxiao, was alone and could not go out at home, so she was very lonely.

He hugged the little girl in his arms and said with a smile: "Look at you being so obedient, I'll take you to see Sister Cui tomorrow, okay?"

The little girl smiled and nodded repeatedly.

"it is good."

Li Xin stood up, ran outside to breathe for a while, the smell of alcohol dissipated a little, he ran to the study to write a letter, and then slowed down a general, and sent it to the palace.

There is nothing else in this letter, that is, Zhong Xiaoxiao misses Cui Jiuniang and should apply to the emperor.

There was no need to go through this procedure, but now His Royal Highness King Wei no longer belongs to His Highness King Wei, so we should give him some face.

After sending someone to deliver the letter, Li Xin went back to his room and fell asleep.

Early the next morning, after having dinner at home, Li Xin took Zhong Xiaoxiao out the door and walked towards Qinhuai Square.

Sending a letter to the emperor is just a procedure. In fact, in the current situation, not to mention that he wants to see Cui Jiuniang, even if he wants to marry Cui Jiuniang, the Emperor Taikang will nod without hesitation.

But that can never happen.

Li Xin has no affection for Cui Jiuniang, but simply appreciates her kindness.

As soon as the two of them left Jing'anhou's mansion, they heard the sound of drums and gongs beating. Li Xin glanced over and found that it was Pingnanhou's mansion, which was organizing the funeral with great fanfare.

In other words, Li Shen "died",

The emperor's work efficiency is very fast. He started to do what he said yesterday.

Li Xin was sitting in the carriage of the Jing'an Marquis Mansion, looking through the window at the Pingnan Marquis Mansion covered with white flags, and the corner of his mouth showed an arc.

From this moment on, as long as the Jin court is still there, Li Shen is already "dead" from a legal point of view.

Seeing Li Xin looking out, the little girl Zhong Xiaoxiao also showed two big eyes from the curtain of the car, looking out of the window curiously.

"Brother, what's wrong?"

Li Xin patted her on the head lightly, and said with a smile: "It's nothing, two people I knew died, and when I send you to Sister Cui, I will go to their funeral."

When the word "death" was mentioned, Zhong Xiaoxiao was a little depressed. Although she didn't have a clear understanding of the concept of death, after the death of the charcoal seller, she knew that after death, people would be buried. will not be coming back.

"Does brother know them?"

"know."

Li Xin hugged her into his arms with a smile on his face.

"But not very familiar."

Chapter 430 Poor Woman

After leading Zhong Xiaoxiao around several alleys, Li Xin finally knocked on the door of one of the small courtyards, and it was still Jiuniang's maid Ping'er who opened the door.

Because it was broad daylight this time, Li Xin didn't have to be restrained like last time, he smiled and waved to the little girl.

"Is Sister Cui at home?"

Ping'er nodded blankly.

"At home, at home."

Zhong Xiaoxiao originally hid behind Li Xin, but when she heard the words "I'm home", she immediately stretched out her head to have a look, and then ran in quickly.

Ping'er also recognized her, and when she saw Zhong Xiaoxiao running in, a smile appeared on her face.

"Master Hou, please come in."

Li Xin walked in with his hands behind his back, only to find that Zhong Xiaoxiao had already put his arms around Cui Jiuniang's arm. The shopkeeper who used to be proud of the building was embroidering with a needle and thread in his hand.

Calculating the time, she has been living here since Emperor Taikang ascended the throne. Apart from writing and reading, she can only do embroidery every day.

Li Xin walked over with a smile, bowed his head and cupped his hands and said, "Sister Cui."

After Cui Jiuniang saw Zhong Xiaoxiao, her face was full of smiles, and when she heard Li Xin speak, she remembered that there was another person, so she stood up quickly and said to Li Xin Wanfu: "Master Hou is here, concubine I'm sorry."

Li Xin smiled and shook his head: "Sister Cui is polite."

In fact, if Emperor Taikang was willing to take her to the palace, Cui Jiuniang's status would be much higher than that of Li Xin, but Emperor Taikang never said so.

This is not only because of the disparity in identities between the two, but also because the mother of Emperor Taikang, Li Xin's mother-in-law is still there. This noble empress dowager sits in the harem and will never allow the emperor to accept a woman from a brothel as a concubine. If you really want to make a fuss, it may hurt Cui Jiuniang.

Jiu Niang turned sideways quickly, smiled at Li Xin and said, "Master Hou, come in and talk."

Li Xin looked at Zhong Xiaoxiao who was tightly hugging Cui Jiuniang's sleeve, and said with a smile, "Xiaoxiao is still close to Sister Cui, and no one else has seen her like this before."

Zhong Xiaoxiao had no mother since she was a child, and Jiuniang took Zhong Xiaoxiao for a long time, and she had a gentle temperament, so Zhong Xiaoxiao subconsciously treated her as a mother.

Cui Jiuniang touched the little girl's head, her eyes were full of tenderness.

"I haven't seen Xiaoxiao for almost half a year. She has grown a lot taller."

She asked Ping'er to take out two sets of winter clothes from the house, gestured at Xiao Xiao's body, and then shook her head.

"I may not be able to wear the clothes I made for her in my spare time."

The little girl's eyes were red, and she wiped her tears with her sleeve.

Ever since she was a child, no one had made clothes for her by herself. Li Xin usually went to the tailor shop to buy ready-made clothes for her.

"Xiao Xiao can wear it."

Her tone was firm.

Jiuniang smiled gently: "Silly girl, my sister will change your clothes to be bigger if your clothes are too small. Why are you crying?"

"Sister Cui is really nice."

She got into Jiuniang's arms and refused to come out.

Cui Jiuniang patted her on the back lightly, and after a while, the little girl fell asleep just like that.
