Unparalleled Concubine

   Chapter 445 The little brother slipped away beforehand

After Zhao Jia had a conversation with Li Xin, he went to find Ye Mao with his luggage. After all, he had to go with him this time. In the afternoon, General Ye Ming came back from Ye Mao, and Li Xin smiled at him. Welcome to the camp.

   "They're gone?"

"gone."

   Ye Ming sighed with emotion: "My brother has spent most of his life in the army, and he is rarely afraid of anything in his life, but this time, he was really worried for Mao'er."

   This is not surprising, even when Ye Ming was twenty-two or three years old, he didn't have the experience of taking a large army of ten thousand people to expedition, and Ye Mao was his only son, so worry was inevitable.

   Li Xin smiled and shook his head: "Senior brother said, the people who should be worried should be those Northern Zhou families, how can there be any reason to worry about the knife being hurt by the flesh?"

   "The principle is this principle."

  Ye Ming sat down and sighed with emotion: "Changan, you can understand your brother's current mood after becoming a parent. For fear that Mao'er did something wrong on the road, he felt a little nervous."

   "Brother, don't worry."

Li Xin lowered his eyebrows and said, "My little brother has been with Ye Mao for a long time, he is not a scumbag, and he should not make mistakes. Besides, even if something goes wrong, those Northern Zhou family can still eat it. Can't you move a fold to the mansion?"

   Ye Ming smiled, got up and patted Li Xin on the shoulder.

"According to His Majesty's wishes, in the next period of time, Brother Wei will be in Chang'an to get acquainted with the Imperial Army. In the future, we brothers can get along well, let's go, not to mention these bad things, accompany Wei Go have a few drinks, brother."

   Li Xin smiled wryly and shook his head: "Senior Brother Ye, don't be kidding, you are not allowed to drink alcohol in the army."

   "It's not wartime, how can there be so many rules."

   Said, Ye Shaobao was about to take Li Xin to drink, Li Xin looked solemn, lowered his head and said, "Senior brother, my little brother is going back to the capital in the afternoon."

   Ye Ming frowned: "Changan, what do you mean?"

Li Xin smiled and said: "I leave the Imperial Army so that my brother can get to know the Imperial Army better, right? Don't worry, my brother has already said hello to the lieutenant General Lan Geng. In the next few days, Lan Geng will take the senior brother to various Zhechong residences. Take a look."

   Having said that, Li Xin paused and continued.

   "The external saying is, Brother, you are in charge of the right battalion of the Imperial Army."

   Ye Ming's face became serious, and he slowly shook his head.

   "Junior brother, this is not right. Although my brother is in charge of soldiers outside, he is not a tyrannical person. The right battalion of the forbidden army is your soldier. Even if you go west, I will only lead you Li Changan, not the right battalion of the forbidden army."

   He pulled Li Xin's sleeve with a solemn expression.

   "What it should be is what it should be. You can't be wronged because of your relationship with your father."

   Li Xin smiled bitterly: "Senior brother, you misunderstood, my brother has to go back to the capital."

   "Why?"

   General Ye still had a serious look on his face.

   "Because I'm getting married."

Li Xin smiled and said: "Senior brother may not know yet, His Majesty has already communicated with the younger brother. It should have been a few years ago that the younger brother was about to get married with Princess Qinghe, and now it has entered November. It's been more than a month, and the little brother's mansion is still completely unprepared, so I can't let my little brother marry a royal princess in a dry way, right?"

   Ye Ming frowned.

   He said slowly: "Chang'an, you...really want to be a concubine?"

  Li Xin nodded, a little helpless.

   "Your Majesty has spoken in person, what can I do?"

Speaking of this, Li Houye remembered an old incident and said with a smile: "Speaking of which, Master Ye wanted to marry my brother's daughter, but he couldn't agree at that time for some reasons, otherwise at this time, the younger brother should change his name. Brother and father-in-law."

Ye Ming has a son and two daughters in the capital. Among them, the eldest daughter, Ye Xuan, has already confirmed that she will marry into the palace and become the imperial concubine. After all, this was one of the conditions that "His Royal Highness the King of Wei" promised the Ye family. , This Concubine Ye said that she would not be able to marry into the palace until twenty-seven months after the death of the late emperor. (As mentioned earlier, one of the conditions for the Wei Palace to win over the Ye family was to marry the daughter of the Ye family.)

   That is, at the earliest in the spring of the third year of Taikang, she can enter the palace.

   And Ye Ming's other daughter, Old Man Ye, was going to marry Li Xin, but Li Xin had already known the Ninth Princess at that time, so he had no choice but to refuse.

   Ye Ming didn't know about this, so he was stunned when he heard the words, and then he smiled bitterly: "If there is a son-in-law like Chang'an, I don't need to worry about Ye Mao as a brother."

  Li Xin laughed.

   "It's fine now, the younger brother can still be higher."

After the emperor married the young lady of the Ye family, his majesty would call Li Xin his uncle, but this kind of secular seniority had no effect in front of the emperor. After all, no matter how old you were, it was still as big as the sky. The eldest son.

   And Li Xin is about to marry the younger sister of Emperor Taikang, and after this, everyone will be evened out.

   Ye Ming patted Li Xin on the shoulder and lowered his voice.

   "Chang'an."

   Li Xin became serious: "Senior brother, please speak."

   "Being a brother means that if it is not necessary, it is better not to be the consort."

Ye Shaobao slowly exhaled and said, "Brother Wei is from a general family. Since childhood, I have played with the children of the generals in the capital, and I have met many people. These people of the same age as me have married several people. But after becoming the concubine, there is no future, so I can only serve the princess at home."

   "You are a capable person, and you must have something to do. Because my brother can't bear to see you, he will be a concubine at home."

  Li Xin shook his head and said with a smile: "The matter has been settled, it is useless to go back now. As for the future, no one can tell."

   "Even if it's really like what my brother said, it's not bad to be a rich and idle person at home for a lifetime."

   Having said this, Li Xin got up and said with a cup of hands: "There are still a lot of things to be busy in the capital, my younger brother will rush back first, and when the wedding date is set, my younger brother will send a message to my senior."

   Ye Ming was silent for a while, then nodded helplessly.

   "I must go for my brother."

   He sent Li Xin all the way to the gate of the big camp. Before Li Xin got on his horse, he secretly took out a booklet from his sleeve and stuffed it in Ye Ming's hand. Then Li Houye lowered his voice.

   "Senior brother, this is the treasure I gave you, keep it."

   Ye Ming frowned, just as he was about to say something, Li Xin had already turned his horse and rode away.

   Lan Geng, the deputy general of the right battalion of the forbidden army, stood behind Ye Ming and bowed his head respectfully: "General, General Li asked the last general to take you to inspect the various Zhechong mansions."

   When facing Li Xin, these generals of the Imperial Army must be dissatisfied, but when facing Ye Ming, they dare not do anything more.

   After all, standing in front of them is the eldest son of Chen Guogong Ye Sheng, the general of the Zhenbei Army, and the current Ye Shaobao! To put it a bit harsher, in Ye Ming's identity, even if he was transferred to the Imperial Army, it should be Pei Jin's original position. He only took one Imperial Army Right Battalion, and he was still wronged by his old man!

   That’s what seniority does.

   Ye Ming calmly looked at the direction where Li Xin was leaving, then reached out and touched the booklet in his sleeve, thoughtful.

   After a long time, he turned to look at the humble lieutenant Lan Geng behind him.

   "Forget it today, I'm going to be tired, so I need to rest."
