Unparalleled Concubine

Cui Jiuniang also stood up from the seat, and smiled softly at Li Xin: "She is very well-behaved. When she first came here, she insisted on washing and cooking for me every day, and she didn't run around. I just started teaching her to write the next day, she is very talented and is improving very quickly."

Li Xin took a few steps forward and looked at Zhong Xiaoxiao's handwriting on the straw paper. Although the handwriting was a little immature, it was already faintly visible. Compared with the previous period, it was no longer the same.

Li Xin put the little girl down, and said with a smile: "It is her blessing to have a famous teacher like Sister Cui to guide her."

"Young Master Li has broken me."

Cui Jiuniang said with a smile: "Mr. Li has been in the Habayashi Guard during this time, what difficulties have you encountered?"

"At the beginning, I had some hardships, but fortunately, it went smoothly, and I finally gained a firm foothold in Habayashi Guard."

"It's a good thing."

Cui Jiuniang said softly: "Many general disciples in the capital couldn't stand up in the Habayashi Guard, and couldn't bear the hardships. They came out of the Habayashi Guard in a few days. Mr. Li can gain a firm foothold in the Habayashi Guard so quickly, yes It's up to you."

"Just a fluke."

Li Xin's words were not modest. If it wasn't for the fight at the gate of Yong'an Gate, it would take at least two or three years for him to gain a foothold in the Habayashi Guard.

This accident not only made him promoted from captain to lieutenant, but also allowed him to have some power of his own in Habayashi Guard, such as that Shen Gang.

The most difficult thing about things like power is to start from scratch. Once you have a foundation, it is much easier to expand.

After a brief chat with Cui Jiuniang about the recent situation, Li Xin cupped his hands at her and said with a smile, "During this time, I'm here to help take care of my younger sister."

At this moment, Zhong Xiaoxiao was taken by Pinger to play, not with the two of them, Cui Jiuniang looked at Li Xin with a half-smile, and said softly: "Mr. Li really regards this girl as his sister?"

Li Xin's face became serious.

"Before the old man died, the younger brother promised him that he would raise the girl as his younger sister. Since then, she has been my younger sister."

Cui Jiuniang didn't know what to think of, the smile on her face faded a little, she said softly: "The longer you stay in this capital, the more people you see, the more you think it's rare for Mr. Li to be so affectionate."

Li Xin smiled lightly: "But because the people Sister Cui met were all too high-status."

Those who are righteous and half follow the generation of dogs, and those who are heartless are mostly scholars.

People with higher status tend to put more value on interests, and the less they take affection seriously. On the contrary, people like Li Xin, who came from the bottom, know the warmth and coldness of some people.

Cui Jiuniang froze for a moment, then said slowly, "Mr. Li is right."

Li Xin stood up from the chair, cupped his hands to Cui Jiuniang, and said, "Little sister is here these days, so please trouble sister Cui."

Cui Jiuniang also stood up, and said softly, "Mr. Li is leaving?"

Li Xin nodded and said: "It's rare to come back from a vacation, take the little girl back, and get her some delicious food."

Having said that, Li Xin looked at Cui Jiuniang and said with a smile, "Sister, do you want to go together?"

Cui Jiuniang was a little moved, and then slowly shook her head: "There are still many things to worry about in Deyilou, so I won't go there. Next time I have time, I will bother Mr. Li."

Speaking of this, she paused and continued: "When you return to Habayashi Guard in a few days, will you send Xiao Xiao here?"

She is 26 years old this year, ten years older than Li Xin. According to the age of women in this era, her children should be older than Zhong Xiaoxiao. As women get older, they will like children more and more However, Zhong Xiaoxiao is very likable and hits it off with Cui Jiuniang, so she also likes this thin girl very much.

Li Xin nodded and said: "In a few days, I will have to trouble Sister Cui."

"No trouble, no trouble."

Cui Jiuniang sighed quietly, and said softly: "With this girl by my side, I can feel more at ease in my heart, otherwise I will be empty every day and don't know what I am doing."

Li Xin cupped his hands and said, "Thank you, Sister Cui, for your love."

Cui Jiuniang also bent over to return the gift.

Li Xin went to greet Zhong Xiaoxiao, and the two brothers and sisters left the Deyi Building hand in hand. Before leaving, Zhong Xiaoxiao was also a little bit reluctant to part with Jiuniang, and wiped a few tears.

Children are like this, when they get used to a place, they will feel reluctant to part with it.

Deyilou is not very close to Datongfang. The brother and sister walked for half an hour and bought some things on the side of the road. By the time they were able to return to Datongfang, it was almost dark.

Li Xin was about to take out his key to open the door, but found a young man in green clothes waiting at the gate of his yard.

There were no street lights in this era, and it was difficult to see clearly from a distance. After Li Xin approached, he realized who this person was. He immediately bowed his hands to the young man and saluted: "Li Xin, I have seen His Royal Highness King Wei."

The news of Deyilou spread so quickly...

The Seventh Prince helped Li Xin up with a smile, and said with a smile, "It can be counted as coming back. This king has been waiting for you here for a long time, Captain Li."

The last three words were obviously teasing Li Xin, and Li Xin opened the courtyard door and stretched out his hand to make fun of him.

"His Royal Highness, please."

Chapter 79 Li Shen is coming back

Deyilou was originally one of the sources of information for the Wei Palace, so it was understandable to inform the Wei Palace of his whereabouts. Li Xin was not surprised by this.

But what surprised him was that His Royal Highness King Wei actually called him "Lieutenant Li". You must know that he has not been formally appointed to be a captain, and there are very few people who know about it. There were only a few people, and His Royal Highness the Seventh Prince was able to know immediately, indicating that he either had eyes and ears among the eunuchs, or Habayashi Guard had been infiltrated by him.

Referring to the previous events, it is likely that His Royal Highness the Seventh Prince had some indescribable transactions with the Tianmu Supervisor in the palace.

After entering the courtyard, Li Xin sent Zhong Xiaoxiao to his room first, then led the Seventh Prince into the main hall, and the two sat down on both sides of a table.

Originally, Li Xin didn't have any special feelings for the seventh prince, but when he really entered the highly hierarchical court, he discovered the excellence of the seventh prince.

Habayashi Weili, a sixth-rank Zuo Lang general, can regard Li Xin as an ant, and this His Royal Highness King Wei, in terms of rank, has surpassed the first rank of the dynasty, and in terms of power, he is also a sixth-rank official. Words above the court carry weight. In this position, he was able to condescend to visit Li Xin, a small man, again and again. This is what ordinary people can't do.

After the two of them sat down, Li Xin lowered his head slightly, and said to the Seventh Prince: "If your Highness has anything to do, just summon him, and don't dare to bother His Highness to come to the door in person."

In the past, Li Xin didn't know the rules of the temple, so he could pretend he didn't know everything, but now he has more or less the rules of the court, no matter whether such kind words are sincere or not, it is always necessary to say them.

His Royal Highness King Wei squinted his eyes, and looked at Li Xin with a half-smile: "Brother Xin has been a guard of the Yulin guard for a few days, and he developed an official accent, which is really rare."

Li Xin blushed slightly, bowed his head and said, "Your Highness came to look for me in person so late, I don't know if it's..."

"There are some things, I need to confirm with you, and there is news from outside the capital, I am here to let you know."

Li Xin looked calm.

"Excuse me, Your Highness."

The Seventh Prince reached out and patted Li Xin on the shoulder, and said with a smile: "Brother Xin, you don't need to be so nervous, just treat it as a family chat. Now that you are an official, don't put yourself too low."

Li Xin took a deep breath, and said with a wry smile: "I didn't become an official before, so I didn't know the majesty of His Highness. Now I have been a soldier in the Habayashi Guard for a few days, and I realized that I neglected His Highness before."

"Don't neglect, don't neglect."

The Seventh Prince smiled and said, "Just talk like before."
