Unparalleled Concubine

Ninth Princess snorted softly, turned her head and ignored Li Xin.

The couple were talking when the carriage stopped suddenly.

Li Xin frowned slightly.

He has walked the road home from Yonganmen too many times, and he is already familiar with the time to go home and the road sections to go through. He is very clear about his current location. There are two or three turns to get there.

So he asked, "What happened?"

Chen Shiliu, who was driving, turned his head, opened the curtain, and said in a deep voice, "Master Hou, someone is blocking the way."

Lord Jing'an poked his head out from the curtain of the carriage, and saw a young man about fifteen or sixteen years old who was dressed richly and in purple, stopping in front of the carriage of the Marquis of Jing'an.

Behind this young man, there are about a dozen strong men who seem to be his guards.

Although the young man was blocking the way, he had a very good attitude. He bowed deeply to the carriage of Jing'an Hou Mansion.

"Ji Kai, Prince Qi's son, please see Lord Jing'an."

After he finished speaking, he lowered his head and said, "I've seen my aunt."

After hearing these words, Li Xin's body that was leaning out immediately shrank back.

Ji Huan's son?

He frowned first, then quickly reacted to Guo Lei, and said to Chen Shiliu in a deep voice, "Don't pay attention to him, run over."

"It doesn't matter if you live or die!"

Chen Shiliu has followed Li Xin for many years, so he understands Li Xin's meaning very well. As soon as Li Xin finished speaking, he waved his whip, and the two white horses pulling the cart immediately neighed loudly. past.

This Prince Qi's son is naturally not a fool. Facing such a big car, he would probably die on the streets of the capital if he blocked it with his body. He was startled and quickly avoided it.

By the time he realized it, the black carriage of Jing'an Hou Mansion had already sped away.

At the same time, the Marquis of Jing'an in the carriage was full of bad luck.

At this time, even Princess Nine at the side saw something was wrong, she frowned and said, "Why did the fourth brother's son come to us?"

When the new emperor ascended the throne, even if the vassal kings from all over the country could not leave the vassal state, they could still send their sons to Beijing to pay homage. Therefore, it was not surprising that the son of Prince Qi appeared in the capital. What was strange was why he came to stop Li Xin's carriage.

You must know that it is a big taboo for court ministers, especially those leading soldiers, to make friends with the clan, let alone a prince like Qi Wangfu who failed to seize the heirloom ten years ago and was expelled from the capital to become a vassal.

More importantly, once the two sides have contact, not only the ministers will be jealous of the court, but the vassal king himself will be more suspicious, and life will be even more difficult in the future.

Even if His Royal Highness King Qi really wanted to find Li Xin for something, he shouldn't have let his son stop Li Xin's carriage in Yonglefang.

"He did it on purpose."

Li Xin, who was sitting in the carriage, narrowed his eyes.

"His Royal Highness King Qi, with a wicked heart, wants to use this opportunity to provoke conflicts between the court and our family."

Li Xin took a deep breath: "He wants the court to be more suspicious of me, and it's best to make me unable to get along in the capital, so that he can have a chance to proceed to the next step."

Having said that, Lord Jing'an slowly closed his eyes.

"It's been more than ten years, and your fourth brother is still evil-minded, and his evil intentions are not dead."

Princess Ninth panicked, she whispered: "Then what should I do?"

"I can do whatever I want. If this kid secretly came to our house to look for me, it might be of some use, but he stopped us in Yongle Square openly, and anyone with a discerning eye can see the flaws."

Speaking of this, Li Xin said to Chen Shiliu: "This kid will probably come again. Shiliu, tell the concierge to stop him directly, and say that I haven't seen any visitors recently."

Chen Shiliu nodded slightly.

"understood."

While speaking, the carriage had already stopped at the gate of the Hou's Mansion. Li Xin and Princess Jiu got out of the car one after another, and then ordered again: "Remember, in these three days, except for the people in the palace washing machine, no matter who comes, Never seen."

Chen Shiliu bowed his head and said, "Don't worry, Lord Hou, I will definitely take care of it for Lord Hou."

Only then did Li Xin step into the Jing'an Hou Mansion together with the eldest princess.

As soon as the two of them walked in, the door of the Hou Mansion was closed, which meant that the Jing'an Hou Mansion would not entertain any guests in the past few days.

However, this closed door only lasted for one day, and in the afternoon of the second day, a group of eunuchs in purple broke through the defense line of the gatehouse of the Hou Mansion and successfully entered the Hou Mansion.

The leader of this group of purple-clothed eunuchs was Xiao Huai, Xiao Zheng's godson, who was holding a scroll of imperial decree in his hand, and he was here to deliver the decree to Li Xin.

When the imperial edict arrived, the Hou Mansion naturally did not dare not to win. After a while, Li Xin and his family were ready to kneel in the main hall to receive the imperial edict.

But when the family members of the Hou Mansion just arrived at the main hall, ready to set up a case to burn incense and welcome the imperial decree, Xiao Huai waved his hands at Li Xin again and again, and smiled obsequiously: "No big gift, no big gift, Lord Hou just take it to see it. "

With that said, he was about to hand over the imperial decree to Li Xin.

Li Xin stretched out his hand to receive the imperial decree, and nodded slightly to Xiao Huai: "Thank you, Father."

Xiao Huai had a smile all over his face.

"No hard work, no hard work, it is the blessing of slaves to send the imperial decree of promotion to Lord Hou."

Li Xin heard the word "high promotion".His brows were deeply wrinkled.

He had seen the imperial decree many times, and he was familiar with unfolding the imperial decree. Soon the imperial decree was slowly unfolded by him, and the entire main hall of Jing'an Hou Mansion immediately knelt down.

Li Xin glanced at it briefly, and saw the most crucial line.

"Promote the Taibao Li Xin, the Taifu of the current dynasty, and the general of the Jiazhu Kingdom."

Except for this line of words, the other words on the imperial decree have no effect. Li Xin simply scanned down and saw the place where the imperial decree was signed.

Here, it was supposed to be stamped with jade seals.

But at this time, in addition to the jade seal, there are four private seals at the signing place, and the signatures of four assistant ministers.

In other words, all four of their ministers agreed.

Lord Jing'an glanced at the imperial decree several times, and then chuckled.

"I'm sorry, Eunuch Xiao, come to visit, the content of this imperial decree..."

"I see."

The position of Taifu is not unacceptable, after all, he has confirmed his status as an emperor teacher in his official position, and his status is also higher than that of Taibao.
