Unparalleled Concubine

Ji Yan, who was already ten years old, walked up to Li Xin curiously, and looked at the old man kneeling on the ground.

"Uncle, who is he?"

The prince has stayed in Jing'anhou's mansion for a long time, and there is no such estrangement as before. He sometimes calls Li Xin his master, sometimes his uncle, and even his uncle. In short, he comes here as he pleases. The little guy likes Jing very much. The unrestrained atmosphere in Anhou Mansion is much more comfortable than in the palace.

Li Xin didn't mind him yelling, and the two of them got along fairly well.

Hearing the little guy's question, Li Xin didn't respond, but stretched out his hand to help Xie Jun up, turned back and said to the crown prince: "This is the left servant of the Ministry of War, a veteran of the three dynasties, and he almost went to the East Palace to give you a lecture last year. You have to call out my lord."

Xie Jun has been an official in the Jin Dynasty since the time of Emperor Wu. He has experienced the three dynasties of Emperor Wu, Chengde Dynasty, and Taikang Dynasty. He is a veritable veteran of the three dynasties.

Although the little prince was a bit naughty, he still knew the rules. Hearing this, he straightened his clothes immediately, and said to Xie Jun, "I've met you, my lord."

Xie Juan turned sideways quickly and shook his head repeatedly.

"Don't dare, don't dare."

After the little prince paid his respects, he lost interest in the old man, turned around and pulled Li Xin's sleeve, and said with a smile: "I heard that my aunt gave birth to a younger brother for me. I want to see where it is. "

Li Xin coughed and asked, "You came here by yourself?"

Ji Yan shook his head and said: "Xiao Zheng brought me here, and I'm still in the front hall. Father asked me to congratulate you, Uncle, on his behalf, and asked Xiao Zheng to bring a lot of things. It should be at the gate of the Hou's mansion by now. I thought they were too slow, so I came in through the back door alone."

During the past five years, he spent at least half of it in Jing'an Hou's Mansion. He knew this Hou's Mansion more clearly than Li Xin.

Li Xin touched his head and smiled helplessly: "Your brother is in the backyard. I'll let Shiliu lead you there, but your aunt is still resting now, so don't startle her if you're fine."

The little prince blinked and asked, "Where's Sister Ah Han?"

"It's also in the backyard, just go find her."

The prince cheered and ran away. Before leaving, he shouted to Li Xin: "Uncle, I want to stay with you for a few days, and if I don't leave, you can tell Xiao Zheng later, let him go back to the palace and tell his father !"

By the time he said the last word, the little guy had disappeared. He knew this family better than anyone else, so he didn't need someone to lead the way.

Xie Shilang was stunned at the side, and he let out a breath after a long time.

"Li Shangshu, His Royal Highness, he..."

Li Xin smiled helplessly.

"The eldest princess is his aunt. She loved to come to my place since she was a child. I think it's more comfortable here than the East Palace. No one forces him to study."

Noble children, especially royal children, have received extremely strict education since they were young. For example, the prince has been studying every day since he was five or six years old, and the emperor has to conduct spot checks every now and then. He didn't care about asking, and let him come to Li Xin at will.

So the little guy loves it here.

Xie Juan looked up at Li Xin, and said with some envy: "Li Shangshu has such a relationship, and he will be a famous emperor teacher in history in the future, which makes people envious."

"Don't talk nonsense."

Li Xin looked solemn: "Your Majesty is in the prime of life, where did the emperor come from? Your Majesty speaks too carelessly."

Xie Juan also came to his senses and shook his head again and again: "This old man didn't mean that..."

Li Xin smiled: "Don't worry, if it comes out of your mouth and into my ears, no third person will know about it, but don't mention the emperor's words again, my lord, outsiders may not be like me." Keep your mouth shut."

Speaking of this, Li Xin said: "Eunuch Xiao from the palace should be here. He is here for His Majesty. I will go to greet you. My lord is free to do so."

Xie Jun cupped his hands and said: "Li Shangshu is just going to do some work, the old man has the audacity to spend a meal here, and then go back to the Ministry of War to work."

Li Xin smiled, and walked towards the front hall. As soon as he reached the main hall, he saw Xiao Zheng, who was dressed in purple, walking towards him holding a scroll.

Now this Eunuch Xiao has achieved a positive result. He took over the position left by Chen Ju two years ago and became the eunuch of the inner servant. Status, there is still a long way to go to adopt a son.

Moreover, he may not have the means and holy family like Chen Ju.

Seeing that the eunuch in purple was holding the imperial edict in his hand, Li Xin looked serious, and was about to kneel down to receive the edict, Xiao Zheng waved his hands again and again, and said with a flattering smile: "Your Majesty does not need to salute, His Majesty specifically explained it, you just need to stand and listen. "

Li Xin was not polite either, and just stood there with his hands down.

Xiao Zheng coughed and began to announce the decree.

"The system said."

"I heard that the crown prince, grand master, minister of the Ministry of War, Li Xin, the Marquis of Jing'an, and Princess Qinghe gave birth to a son. The Marquis of Jing'an is as loyal and courageous as the pillar of the country, and the eldest son was named Xiaoqiwei..."

That's probably what it means.

Feng Li Xin, the eldest son who has not yet been named, is Xiaoqiwei, who is exactly the same as Li Chun back then.

This is Feng's wife and Yinzi, but Li Xin's son, after all, his mother is a princess, has a much higher starting point than Li Chun, and was born as a Xiaoqiwei.

Li Xin bowed his head and thanked him.

After reading the imperial decree, Xiao Zheng bowed his head to Li Xin with a respectful tone.

"Master Hou, the empress dowager wants to see her grandson, and her majesty also wants to see her nephew. Your majesty said that if you are free these few days, you will go into the palace with the eldest princess, and bring the young son into the palace by the way. A trip..."

Li Xin nodded slightly and smiled.

"understood."

Chapter 645 Alternative Master and Apprentice

After accepting the imperial decree from the palace, Li Xin smiled at Xiao Zheng, and said, "Thank you, Eunuch Xiao, who will come to visit personally. There is a banquet in the palace today. If there is nothing to do in Eunuch Xiao's palace, you might as well stay and have a meal." Let's go after lunch?"

"Don't dare."

After Xiao Zheng waved his hands, he bent over and said, "Your Majesty is still waiting for the servants to return to their orders, but His Royal Highness the Crown Prince followed the servants to the Lord Hou's Mansion. His Highness the Crown Prince has been clamoring for coming to live in Jing'an Hou Mansion recently. Your Majesty I told you before that if His Highness wants to live here, please take care of him."

After several years of contact, Li Xin has already figured out the character of His Highness the Crown Prince. Although he is not quite sure what he looks like to others, but when facing the aunt of the eldest princess and the uncle of Li Xin, He still looks like a junior, so Li Xin treats him as a junior for the time being and lets him play in his marquis' mansion.

Therefore, as long as it is not disclosed to the public, he does not dislike the prince living in his home.

Thinking of this, Li Xin smiled at Xiao Zheng and said, "Your Highness also asked me to tell my father-in-law just now that he will stay in my residence for a few days. Since His Majesty agrees, the evil residence will definitely take good care of His Highness."

Xiao Zheng bowed again and said in a respectful voice: "My servant congratulates Lord Hou on Nongzhang's joy. The palace is busy, so this servant will not bother you here."

Just now, Xiao Zheng announced the decree to congratulate the Jing'an Hou Mansion on behalf of the emperor, and he congratulated Li Xin on behalf of himself.

Li Xin smiled and said, "Eunuch Xiao is polite."

After Xiao Zheng said this to Li Xin, he bowed his body and left the Jing'an Marquis Mansion with a bunch of little eunuchs. After he left, Li Xin stood there thinking for a while, finally shook his head, and turned back. The house in the backyard went.

In the backyard, the Eldest Princess was still confinement on the bed, and His Royal Highness the Crown Prince was sitting on her bedside, talking to each other. The Eldest Princess also loved this elder nephew very much. She touched his head with her hand and asked some recent questions. His Royal Highness the Crown Prince was not angry about his homework, he just sat by the bed and recited the scriptures taught to him in the recent East Palace lecture, shaking his head to the Eldest Princess.

Aunt and nephew, one reciting and the other listening, at this moment, Li Xin stepped in, and after seeing this scene, he smiled: "Ma'am, I have something to do when I go out, so let His Royal Highness stay here with you first." .”
