Unparalleled Concubine

  Chapter 194

   When Li Xin was busy at the border, some bad things happened in the capital.

After the Pingnan Marquis Mansion was rioted by Li Xin once, there was a sense of collapse. Although Li Chun was a bit stupid, he was the prince of the Pingnan Marquis Mansion after all. He truly represented the Pingnan Marquis Mansion, but The emperor of Chengde mercilessly stripped off all the honors and honors from his body, which made the civil and military officials in the capital received some "signals". For more than a month, no one contacted the Pingnan Houfu any more. .

   Mrs. Jade also closed the door to thank the guests. This once-scenario waiting door seems to be about to decline.

   But on this day, Mrs. Yu, who hadn't been out for a long time, took her heir Li Chun, who had lost a whole circle, and several generals of the trilogy, and went out of the house early in the morning and rushed to the south gate of the capital.

   After several people left the south gate of the capital all the way, they had to continue to go south.

   At this time, a few ordinary people have quietly followed behind these people.

  Mrs. Jade and Li Chun are characters like protons. The imperial court will not explicitly restrict their actions, but they will never be allowed to leave the capital, or leave the imperial court's gaze.

   Mrs. Yu took her son all the way to the Shili Pavilion outside the South City Gate.

In this era of inconvenient transportation, if friends and relatives are not in the same city, it is very difficult to meet each other. Generally, relatives will stay for at least ten days and a half months, or even leave after half a year. It is also reluctant to part, and will usually be sent out of the city for ten miles.

  This Shili Pavilion is the place where you are greeted and sent.

   Mrs. Yu took her son who had lost a lot of weight and sat quietly in the Shili Pavilion, looking over there.

  Li Chun's eyes flickered a little.

   After kidnapping Zhong Xiaoxiao last time, Mrs. Yu didn't beat him or punish him, but she never paid attention to this son again, which made him more uncomfortable than beating Li Chun.

   After Li Chun sat down at Shiliting, he glanced at his mother cautiously: "Auntie, who are we picking up here?"

  Mrs. Yu looked calm and did not speak to Li Chun.

  To say something bad, if Li Chun was not her own son, she would have been strangled to death by Mrs. Yu by now.

  Li Chun saw his mother ignore him, smiled bitterly, sat down again, and said to a big man in his forties or fifty years behind him, "Uncle Meng, who are we here to greet?"

This big man is called Meng Jiao. He is the chief guard of the Marquis of Pingnan, and the boss of the more than 1,000 tribes. In his early years, he was a fierce general by the side of the old marquis. Later, he was injured and was arranged to return to the capital. Working in the Hou Mansion, while helping to take care of those rebellious veterans.

Most of the   Ping Nanhou Mansion's trilogy are veterans who retired from the battlefield. Fighting and making trouble are normal things. Meng Jiao's ability to live with them shows that he has a very high prestige in the army.

  Meng Jiao bowed slightly towards Li Chun, and said solemnly, "Go back to the little Marquis, the second master is coming back."

  Li Chun's body trembled slightly.

The second master in Meng Jiao's mouth is the adopted son of the old marquis Li Zhijie, Li Yan, the deputy general of the Pingnan Army, this Li Yan, who was with Li Zhijie, the Marquis of Pingnan when he was a child, is only a lot more than Li Shen in terms of military merit. When Li Shen returned to Beijing to deal with matters a few months ago, Li Yan was in charge of Ping Nanjun, who can be said to be the veritable number two person in the Li family.

  Since Li Shen took over as the Marquis of Pingnan, Li Yan rarely returned to the capital. He usually helped with military affairs in the southern border. Now Li Yan is back for no reason, mostly because of his own business...

After what happened to Zhong Xiao last time, Li Chun also knew that he had made a mistake, but Mrs. Yu never punished him, which made him even more uneasy. At this time, Li Yan suddenly returned to Beijing, which made the little prince feel violent. Trembling.

  Thinking of this, Li Chun smiled reluctantly: "Uncle Meng, Uncle Second, he came back suddenly, is there something wrong..."

  Meng Jiao shook his head: "I don't know about this, I heard that I want to return to Beijing to serve..."

   Halfway through his sentence, Madam Yu glanced over and said, "You talk too much!"

  Meng Jiao immediately fell silent and scratched his head with a smile.

A group of more than a dozen people waited for several hours at Shiliting. It was almost afternoon when a few black spots came running on the official road to the south. After they got close, there were several big horses. Mrs. Yu took Li Chunying with her. out.

These people, on a horse headed by them, sat a strong man who looked about forty years old and wore a single shirt. At first glance, he looked like a military man. After seeing Mrs. Yu from a distance, he quickly jumped off the horse and faced Yu. Madam cupped her hands and said, "I have seen Madam Sister-in-law."

   Mrs. Yu had a smile on her face: "Second Uncle has worked hard all the way."

   Li Chun, who was behind him, kneeled on the ground respectfully, kowtowed to Li Yan and said, "My nephew has seen my uncle."

   Li Yan took a serious look at Li Chun, finally shook his head and sighed, stretched out his hand to help Li Chun up, shook his head and said, "You don't need to be so polite, Little Marquis, get up and talk."

In the past two months, the enormous pressure has been placed on Madam Yu alone, which has made the mistress of the Pingnan Marquis Mansion quite haggard. At this time, when Li Yan came back, the Li family finally had a man who could be in charge. Mrs. Yu was relieved a lot, let out a long sigh and said: "I don't know how I got here in the past two months, it's good if the second uncle comes back, the second uncle comes back, and the Li family has someone who can call the shots. The backbone of my life, I won't lose my mind."

   Last time, the emperor of Chengde punished the Pingnan Marquis Mansion very severely. For a while, Mrs. Yu didn't know what the emperor wanted to do. The two months were often trembling and it was very difficult.

  Li Yan lowered his head slightly and said with a smile: "The eldest brother has already told me about the capital. Madam sister-in-law doesn't have to worry too much. With the eldest brother here, you will be as stable as Mount Tai in the capital, and nothing major will happen."

   Mrs. Yu looked around and found that there were no outsiders, and then said in a low voice: "I'm not worried about my own safety, but I'm just afraid that I didn't do good things and dragged down the Li family, and then I'll be sorry for the ancestors."

Although Li Yan is also the son of the Li family, but he is a cricket after all, so it is not easy to intervene on such topics, so he just smiled lightly: "Don't worry, Mrs. I went back to the southern border, and I was in the capital, and everyone took care of each other."

   "With the second uncle in the capital, everything will naturally be safe."

Having said that, Mrs. Yu looked back at Li Chun, who was following behind her, and sighed in disgust: "This son of my family is too incompetent, since the second uncle wants to be an official in the capital, he has to help him train him. Yes."

  Li Yan said indifferently: "Little Marquis is indeed a bit reckless in his actions. When my brother is free, he will teach him some principles of doing things."

   Mrs. Yu nodded and said with a smile: "The food and drinks are already prepared at home, let's go home quickly and wash the dust for the second uncle."

  Li Yan bowed his head and nodded: "There is Mrs. Lao's wife."

   The group re-entered the city from the south gate of the capital. After seeing Madam Yu returning, those who were stalking in secret disappeared.

  After half an hour, they finally arrived at the gate of Pingnanhou's mansion. Li Yan looked up at the plaque of Pingnanhou's mansion, and said with some emotion: "I haven't been here for a long time."

   He was adopted and brought up by Li Zhijie when he was a child, and he also lived in the Pingnanhou Mansion in the capital for a period of time when he was a child.

   Mrs. Yu laughed and said, "Second uncle will live here after all."

   "By the way, I don't know what official the imperial court will appoint to the second uncle?"

   Li Yan smiled lightly.

   "If nothing else, it should be the Minister of War."
