Unparalleled Concubine

On the face of it, Chen Shiliuming is a servant of the Jing'an Houfu, but in fact he is Li Xin's subordinate and Li Xin's colleague in the Habayashi Guard. They can already be regarded as friends.

If either Zhao Jia or Mu Ying was in the capital, Li Xin would not ask Chen Shiliu to drink together, but now these people are all in the southwest.

Chen Shiliu hesitated for a while, and finally bowed his head deeply: "Then this subordinate will fetch another pair of bowls and chopsticks."

After a while, Chen Shiliu, who was one-armed, sat across from Li Xin a little unaccustomed, because he was not very convenient with one hand, so Li Xin poured him a glass of wine himself.

At this moment, Lord Jing'an felt a little heavy and his thoughts were complicated. He picked up the wine glass and clinked a glass with Chen Shiliu.

"Full drink."

After all, he raised his head and drank it down.

Chen Shiliu followed him and drank the spirit in the glass in one gulp.

Lord Jing'an put down his wine glass and let out a mouthful of alcohol.

"Sixteen, in my heart..."

He only said six words, and didn't continue. He poured wine for Chen Shiliu and himself, and said in a muffled voice, "It's done."

Chen Shiliu didn't speak, and simply had another drink with Li Xin.

The two of them just had one cup and one cup, and they drank for more than an hour until dawn.

Lord Jing'an's face was flushed, his whole body was staggering, and he was about to lose consciousness.

Chen Shiliu didn't drink alcohol on weekdays, and now his face was flushed, but he could barely hold on, and his figure didn't shake.

Finally, Li Xin couldn't hold on anymore.

In the past ten years or so, he has drunk many times, but the number of times he was really drunk is not many, and this time is one of them.

He got up from the low table, stood up staggeringly, and was about to walk towards his bed in the study. Chen Shiliu was in a better condition than him, and quickly stepped forward to support Li Xin.

The two staggered to the edge of the bed.

Li Xin sat down on the bed and closed his eyes.

"Tell... tell Shen Gang."

Chen Shiliu was also a little drunk at first, but immediately sobered up after hearing the words, and said in a low voice, "Master Hou ordered."

Li Xin's voice was hoarse.

"Let him take all the family members of the Hou Mansion... back to the capital."

Some time ago, Li Xin took the whole family, including the eldest princess, out of the capital and lived outside for nearly a year. But at that time, he was afraid that the emperor would use this as a threat. Now that the emperor is gone, naturally there is no such thing Hidden danger.

To put it a bit arrogantly, Li Xin now has the Right Battalion of the Forbidden Army in his hands. If the crown prince ascends the throne, he will also need to rely on him to support him. Under this situation, no one in the capital can handle his own pain points like Emperor Taikang up.

Chen Shiliu nodded slightly.

"This subordinate...understands."

After Li Xin heard these words, he could no longer bear the heavy eyelids, and slowly closed his eyes.

"Don't forget, the mansion will... hang white banners."

After saying this, Li Xin closed his eyes and fell into a deep sleep.

………………

By the time he woke up from his sleep, it was already the afternoon of the next day.

It was still the twelfth lunar month, and it snowed all day yesterday. Although the sun was out today, there was still snow everywhere in the capital, which looked white.

But these snow whites are not only the color of snow, but also the white banners hanging all over the capital, among which the Yongle Square has the most white banners, and the whole place is white.

Li Xin rubbed his aching temples, put on his clothes, and walked out.

Because the Jinganhou Mansion was formerly known as the Prince Qi's Mansion, its location in Yonglefang is excellent, almost to the north of Yonglefang, that is, it is relatively close to the imperial palace.

At this time, standing in the courtyard of the Jing'an Hou Mansion, you can see the "neighbors" outside the wall, who have already hung up white flags.

Li Xin rubbed his head again to wake himself up a bit, then laughed at himself: "So it wasn't a dream..."

As soon as he finished speaking, Chen Shiliu came in from the outside and bowed his head respectfully in front of Li Xin: "Master Hou is awake."

Li Xin nodded, and asked, "Has the eldest princess returned home?"

"No."

Chen Shiliu bowed his head and said, "Your Highness should still be busy in the palace at this time, and has never returned home."

Li Xin nodded silently.

At this time, the eldest princess, as the younger sister of the emperor, naturally had to work in the palace.

At the same time, this is also the best time to show loyalty, no matter if they are relatives of the emperor or important ministers, as long as they are qualified to enter the palace, most of them will kneel in the palace.

Only Li Xin would run out of the palace at this time.

After Li Xin had a good night's sleep, he recovered a lot. After stretching himself, he said slowly, "I'm going to go into the palace after changing my clothes."

At this time, it was a critical time for the emperor to deliver the order. No matter what, Li Xin wanted to participate.

Chen Shiliu lowered his head slightly: "Master Hou, Mr. Xie Dai from the Xie family outside has been waiting for you for a long time."

Li Xin was slightly taken aback, then sighed.

"Tell him and I'll see him right away."

Chapter 832

After Li Xin washed up and changed his clothes, he handed it over to Xie Dai in the living room of Jing'an Hou Mansion.

It has to be said that the Xie family still had winking eyes, knowing that Li Xin didn't like Xie Jing, they actually sent this side member here.

After seeing Li Xin, Xie Dai who was sitting drinking tea immediately stood up and bowed deeply to Li Xin.

"Master Hou."

Li Xin looked calm, and said: "Since Mr. Xie is here, let someone wake me up, so you don't have to wait so long."

"Knowing that Master Hou is tired, I dare not disturb Master Hou."

Xie Dai bowed his head and said, "Master Hou...will you enter the palace at this time?"
