Unparalleled Concubine

He tugged on Li Xin's sleeve with a solemn expression.

"It's what it should be. You can't be wronged just because of your relationship with your father."

Li Xin had no choice but to smile bitterly: "Brother, you misunderstood, I have to go back to the capital."

"Why?"

General Ye still had a serious face.

"Because I'm getting married."

Li Xin smiled and said: "Brother may not know, His Majesty has already communicated with the younger brother, it should be years ago, the younger brother will marry Princess Qinghe, and now it has entered November, counting the time, at most one It's been more than a month, and the Marquis Mansion of my younger brother is still completely unprepared, so I can't let my younger brother dryly marry a royal eldest princess, can I?"

Ye Ming frowned.

He said slowly: "Chang'an, you...really want to be a son-in-law?"

Li Xin nodded, feeling a little helpless.

"Your Majesty has spoken in person, what can I do?"

Speaking of this, Lord Li Hou remembered an old incident, and said with a smile: "Speaking of which, Master Ye wanted to marry my brother's daughter to me, but he couldn't agree to it for some reason, otherwise, at this time, the younger brother should change his name to me. Senior brother and father-in-law."

Ye Ming has a son and two daughters in the capital, and the eldest daughter, Ye Xuan, has already confirmed that she will marry into the palace to be the imperial concubine. After all, this is one of the conditions that "His Royal Highness the King of Wei" agreed to Ye's family at the beginning, but because the emperor wanted to be filial to the late emperor. At least, this Concubine Ye could not marry into the palace until 27 months after the death of the first emperor. (As mentioned earlier, one of the conditions for Wei Wangfu to win over the Ye family was to marry the daughter of the Ye family.)

That is to say, she could enter the palace in the spring of the third year of Taikang at the earliest.

As for Ye Ming's other daughter, old man Ye was going to marry Li Xin, but at that time Li Xin had already known Princess Nine, so he had no choice but to refuse.

Ye Ming didn't know about this, he was stunned when he heard the words, and then smiled wryly: "If you really have a son-in-law like Chang'an, you don't have to worry about Ye Mao as a brother."

Li Xin laughed.

"It's fine as it is now, my younger brother can still be of a higher seniority."

Calculate the seniority, after the emperor married the young lady of the Ye family, His Majesty the emperor would still call Li Xin a master uncle, but this kind of secular seniority has no effect in front of the emperor, after all, no matter how old the seniority is, it is not as big as the sky. The eldest son.

Moreover, Li Xin is about to marry the younger sister of Emperor Taikang, and after such a back and forth, everyone will be evened out.

Ye Ming patted Li Xin on the shoulder and lowered his voice.

"Chang'an."

Li Xin became serious: "Brother, please speak up if you have something to say."

"Brother means, if it is not necessary, it is better not to be a son-in-law."

Ye Shaobao let out a breath slowly, and said: "Brother is from a general family background. He played with the generals' children in the capital since he was a child, and he also met many people. Several people of my age are married. I became a princess, but after becoming a son-in-law, I have no future and can only serve the princess at home."

"You are a capable person, and you must do something. Brother, I can't bear to see you, so I will be a captain at home."

Li Xin shook his head and said with a smile: "The matter has been settled, and it is useless to regret it now. As for the future, no one can tell."

"Even if it's true what senior brother said, it's not bad to be a wealthy and idle person at home for the rest of your life."

Speaking of this, Li Xin got up and cupped his hands and said: "There are still many things to worry about in the capital, so I will rush back first, and when the wedding date is fixed, I will post a message to my senior brother."

Ye Ming was silent for a while, then nodded helplessly.

"I must go for my brother."

He sent Li Xin all the way to the gate of Daying. Before Li Xin got on the horse, he secretly took out a booklet from his sleeve and stuffed it in Ye Ming's hand. Then Li Houye lowered his voice.

"Brother, this is the treasure I gave you, keep it."

Ye Ming frowned. Just as he was about to say something, Li Xin turned around and got on his horse, riding away.

Lan Geng, the deputy general of the Right Battalion of the Forbidden Army, stood behind Ye Ming and bowed his head respectfully: "General, General Li asked the last general to take you to inspect various Zhechong mansions."

When facing Li Xin, these generals of the imperial army must have dissatisfaction in their hearts, but when facing Ye Ming, they dare not do anything more.

After all, the one standing in front of them was Chen Guogong Ye Sheng's eldest son, the general of Zhenbei Army, Ye Shaobao of the current dynasty!To put it bluntly, with Ye Ming's status, even if he is transferred to the Forbidden Army, he should still be in Pei Jin's original position. With only one Right Battalion of the Forbidden Army, he is still wronged!

That's what seniority does.

Ye Ming looked at Li Xin's leaving direction calmly, then reached out and touched the booklet in his sleeve, thoughtfully.

After a long time, he turned his head to look at the humble lieutenant behind him, Lan Geng.

"That's all for today, I'm going to be tired, I want to rest."

Chapter 446

Part of the reason why Li Xin left from the Right Battalion of the Forbidden Army was to push Ye Ming to the front of the waves and hide himself behind, and part of the reason was because he was really going to get married.

Now it is November of the first year of Taikang, counting the days, it has been almost a year since Emperor Chengde's funeral, according to what Emperor Taikang said earlier, Li Xin will get married before the year.

But time is running out.

It will be a year later, that is, after the tenth day of the twelfth lunar month, before he can start preparing for the wedding. It will be very troublesome to prepare three books and six rituals, so he needs to go back to the capital to prepare.

From now until the Chinese New Year period, Master Li will probably be very busy, busy getting married, and after getting married, most likely he will go west with Ye Ming immediately.

Towards the end of the afternoon, Li Xin returned to the Jing'an Marquis Mansion. After washing and resting overnight, he changed into court clothes and went into the palace to meet the emperor.

The emperor was not in Weiyang Palace today, but in the back garden of the palace. Xiao Zheng said that the chrysanthemum garden in the back garden was in bloom, and the emperor took his family to enjoy the flowers.

Li Xin could only sit in Weiyang Palace and wait for Xiao Zheng to report.

After half an hour, Xiao Zheng trotted all the way over, bent over to Li Xin and said, "Master Hou, Your Majesty calls you to go to the back garden together."

Li Xin lowered his eyebrows and said, "Who is there beside Your Majesty?"

"The Empress and His Royal Highness the Crown Prince."

Empress Xie gave birth to two sons for Emperor Taikang. The eldest son, Ji Yan, was established as the crown prince, and the youngest son was established as the king of Yan. However, the two children are still living in the palace because they are young, and they are brought by the empress. .

Li Xin hesitated, bowed his head and said, "The empress is here, so it's not appropriate for foreign ministers to go, isn't it?"

He was somewhat unhappy with Queen Xie.

Xie Jing, the younger brother of Empress Xie, suffered a lot from Li Xin, and was even driven away from the Habayashi Guard by Li Xin and rushed to Qianniu Guard. The Empress Empress' face and Shanyin Xie's face were involved, so Li Xin didn't really want to see the Empress of the Xie family.

The men made troubles in the court, and everyone showed their skills, but the women would probably make Li Xin look bad in person.

Xiao Zheng bowed his head and said, "It's okay, His Majesty personally ordered Lord Hou to go there."

In desperation, Li Xin had no choice but to follow Xiao Zheng to the back garden. The palace was very large, and the two of them walked to the chrysanthemum garden in the back garden after another incense stick. Waiting at the side, then bent forward and said: "Your Majesty, Lord Marquis has arrived."
