Unparalleled Concubine

With only three days until the New Year's Eve, the Yongle Square was ablaze.

Li Xin sat on a tall horse, dressed in red, surrounded by a group of people, and walked towards the imperial city.

Originally, according to the rules, the ninth princess should be married from Princess Qinghe's mansion, but because she is the emperor's younger sister and the only direct daughter of the empress dowager, she was arranged to marry from the palace, so that it would be more beautiful.

The person who led the horse for Li Xin was an official from the Ministry of Rituals. He looked about 40 years old and was an old scholar. Not very much.

To put it bluntly, even if he drank too much today and didn't go to greet his relatives, Emperor Taikang would send his sister to his mansion. Going to the palace is just a formality and there will be no problem.

Of course, out of respect for Princess Nine, this cutscene should go, and it should be done as beautifully as possible.

Thinking of this, Li Xin cheered up a little, and tried to listen to what the ceremony officer was saying, but after listening to a few words, he lost his patience and began to think about things.

He was thinking about southern Xinjiang.

General Ye Ming led most of the right battalion of the imperial army to set off five days ago, and they should have been out of the city for about two hundred miles. According to this progress, they should be able to reach the southwest "border" of Dajin in mid-February next year.

The name is crusade against rebellion.

That is to say, if there is no accident, probably in the spring of the second year of Taikang, there will be the first battle between the imperial court and Nanjiang, and at that time, Li Xin may not be able to rush to Nanjiang.

The situation in southern Xinjiang is related to Li Xin's future, and also related to Li Xin's future status in the new dynasty, and every detail of it has to be thought through.

Li Xin was in a trance when he was suddenly pulled by the corner of his clothes.

"Master Hou, Yong'an Gate is here."

Only then did Li Xin come to his senses, and after nodding, he got off his horse.

Horses are not allowed in the imperial city, and even Li Xin does not have the privilege of riding a horse in Miyagi.

At present, in the entire imperial court, it seems that only Old Man Ye can do it.

Li Xin got off his horse and walked towards Yong'an Gate, followed by a large sedan chair with eight lifts behind him.

Yong'an Gate was held by a group of soldiers in black, who held a white tiger flag with a black background and white stripes.

It's Habayashi Mamoru.

After the palace change last year, Habayashi guards have been on duty less and less frequently. Today, I don’t know if it was deliberately arranged by the palace. It is Habayashi guard who is in charge of rotating the Yongan Gate.

At this time, there were more than 100 Habayashi guards in Yongan Gate, none of them were ordinary Habayashi guards, and the minimum was a team deputy, and most of them were school lieutenants or captains.

They all followed Li Xin.

They tried their best to push open the Yong'an Gate for Li Xin, bowing respectfully.

"Happy Lord Hou!"

"Happy Lord Hou!"

When he was in the Habayashi Guard, he treated his subordinates generously, and it was he who saved the lives of many Habayashi Guards, so these people regarded him as a benefactor.

Li Xin was stunned for a moment, then looked left and right, and when he saw the big black-bottomed flag, he felt a little emotional, but he still lowered his head and sighed.

"If you do this, you will destroy your future."

Habayashi guard is Li Xin's Habayashi guard, which made the emperor a little displeased. Now that they do this, Habayashi guard is afraid that he will be excluded even more.

But hospitality is hard to come by.

Li Xin looked around, bowed his head and cupped his fists.

"Thank you, brothers."

Chapter 461 Marriage

No matter what, this is all affection, and since the palace has arranged for Habayashi guards to be on duty, I think there will be no problem.

Several captains of the Habayashi guards ran down from the tower, first surrounded Li Xin and cupped their hands, then tore off the red silk from the bearers and put them on themselves, and seven or eight people took over the positions of the bearers. , Lifted the eight-carried sedan chair.

Li Xin frowned and said, "You are guards, you have to take turns at Yong'an Gate, don't mess around."

These school captains all grinned: "Master Hou, we are the personal guards of the Tian family. If the family is marrying a daughter today, wouldn't it be more appropriate for us to carry a sedan chair?"

At the beginning, because of the incident in the Beishan paddock, the entire Habayashi Right Camp had 600 people, and only 100 remained. Later, the Habayashi Right Camp was also supported by these [-] people as the skeleton. After the palace change, These four hundred people who were originally low-level generals either became officials in other yamen, or Gao Sheng became a captain and captain. Most of the more than [-] people in Yonganmen are among the four hundred people at the beginning. one.

After what happened in the Beishan paddock, the entire Habayashi Youying Camp had to die with Li Ji, but it was Li Xin who gave up his life to save their lives.

These people are extremely sincere to Li Xin.

Li Xin shook his head, and said helplessly, "Forget it, let's go to the palace."

These people cheered, rushed to lift the sedan chair, surrounded Li Xin, and rushed towards the inner city.

After a stick of incense, they arrived at the gate of the inner city. Xiao Zheng, the inner servant and young supervisor who was dressed in red, and Dong Cheng, the eunuch with the Tianmu Supervisor who also wore red clothes, stood on both sides of the inner city gate and bowed to Li Xin. salute.

"Happy Lord Hou."

Li Xin waved with a smile, and Chen Chuqi, who had been following behind Li Xin, touched a plate in his hand, on which was a stack of red envelopes, which was placed in front of the two father-in-laws.

Originally, Chen Shiliu was supposed to do this job, but since he lost an arm, he felt unlucky, so he asked his sister to do it for him.

Li Xin returned the gift to the two father-in-laws.

"You two father-in-laws, how about opening the door for a thin face?"

Going to pick up the bride, the natal family will have to make things difficult for a while, Xiao Zheng and Dong Cheng are the servants of the Tian family, and they can barely be considered as the natal family, at this time, of course, they have to use red envelopes to open the way.

Of course, this is also the only time for these two eunuchs to accept Li Xin's red envelope openly.

The two of them laughed and took the two largest red envelopes, and then Chen Chuqi held the red envelopes again, handed them out one by one, and smashed open the gate of the inner city with the red envelopes.

Dong Cheng smiled obsequiously and bowed his head to Li Xin.

"Master Hou, the eldest princess is in the Kunde Palace of the Empress Dowager, you should go there quickly, and don't miss the hour."

Li Xin nodded with a smile, and stepped into the inner palace.

At this time, there were not many people in the palace.

Li Xin's marriage did cause a lot of commotion. All civil and military officials in the court, including people like Li Ye who stayed behind closed doors, all came to attend his marriage, but because this was Li Xin's marriage, not Princess Shang. , so those guests have to wait in Jing'anhou's mansion, but the "natal home" should be cleaner.

Surrounded by dozens of people, Li Xin arrived at the gate of Kunde Palace smoothly.

When the two eunuchs sent him to the gate of Kunde Palace, they dared not go in, and stopped at a distance. After Li Xin walked in, the two unanimously opened the red envelope that Li Xin gave them.

After just one glance, they quickly tucked it into their sleeves, not daring to take a second look, and the two looked at each other furtively, with a guilty conscience in their eyes.
