Unparalleled Concubine

   Chapter 446 Complaining Essence

  Li Xin left from the right camp of the Imperial Army, partly because he wanted to push Ye Ming to the front of the waves and hide behind him, and partly because he was really going to get married.

   It is already November of the first year of Taikang, and counting the days, the funeral of the emperor of Chengde is almost a year old. According to the previous statement of the emperor of Taikang, Li Xin will get married a year ago.

   But time is short.

   It will take a year, that is, after the tenth day of the twelfth lunar month, to start preparing for the marriage. At that time, it is very troublesome to prepare three books and six rituals, so he needs to go back to the capital to prepare.

   From now until the New Year period, Lord Li will probably be very busy, busy with getting married, and most likely will immediately follow Ye Ming on the westward expedition after getting married.

   In the afternoon and evening, Li Xin returned to the Marquis of Jing'an Mansion. After washing and resting for a night, he changed into his court clothes and went into the palace to see the emperor.

  The emperor was not in the Weiyang Palace today, but in the back garden of the palace. Xiao Zheng said that the chrysanthemum garden in the back garden was blooming, and the emperor took his family to enjoy the flowers.

   Li Xin could only sit in the Weiyang Palace and wait, and let Xiao Zheng go to report.

   After half an hour, Xiao Zheng trotted all the way over, bent over to Li Xin and said, "Master Hou, Your Majesty called you to go to the back garden with you."

  Li Xin lowered his eyebrows and said, "Who is there around Your Majesty?"

   "The Empress and the Crown Prince."

Queen Xie gave birth to two sons to Emperor Taikang, the eldest son Ji Yan was established as the prince, and the youngest son was established as the king of Yan, but the two children are still young and still live in the palace, led by the queen. .

  Li Xin hesitated a little, then lowered his head and said, "Is it not appropriate for the foreign ministers to go when the Queen is here?"

   He and Queen Xie were somewhat unhappy.

Queen Xie's younger brother, Xie Jing, suffered a big loss from Li Xin, and was even driven away by Li Xin directly from Yulinwei and rushed to Qianniuwei. Although this matter itself is not very important, it is very important. It involves the face of the empress and the face of the Shanyin Xie family, so Li Xin doesn't really want to see the queen of the Xie family.

  The man made a beam in the courtroom, and everyone showed their means, but the woman was likely to look bad on Li Xin in person.

   Xiao Zheng lowered his head and said, "It's okay, Your Majesty personally instructed the Marquis to go there."

In desperation, Li Xin had no choice but to follow Xiao Zheng to the back garden. The palace was very big. After the two walked for another incense stick, they walked to the chrysanthemum garden in the back garden. Xiao Zheng asked Li Xin to be there. Waiting aside, then he stepped forward and said, "Your Majesty, Lord Hou is here."

   Emperor Taikang was holding the prince to enjoy Qiuju, but when he heard the words, he put the prince down and turned around and said to Xiao Zheng, "Let him come over."

"Yes."

  Li Xin walked in, glanced at the family of three quickly, and then bowed respectfully.

   "My minister, Li Xin, I have seen Your Majesty, Empress, His Royal Highness."

Empress Xie was a plump young woman. She was holding His Royal Highness by the hand. She glanced at Li Xin when she heard the words, and said indifferently, "It turns out that the Marquis of Jing'an has arrived, and that Marquis is talking with His Majesty, If your concubine is a woman, I won't bother you."

   Her tone was a bit yin and yang.

   Li Xin looked embarrassed.

  Women are like this. They usually report their revenge on the spot. Li Xin embarrassed her. Now that she met Li Xin, she made Li Xin a little embarrassed on the spot.

   "My lady's words are serious."

Emperor Taikang stood up at the right time, and said to Queen Xie with a stern face: "Okay, don't make a fool of yourself, your brother's affairs have nothing to do with Chang'an, he violated the taboo of Yu Linwei, so I transferred him out of Yu How can Lin Wei be remembered in Chang'an's head?"

   Queen Xie hugged the crown prince in her arms, and gave Li Xin a no-nonsense look.

   "It's that brother of Ben Gong who is ignorant and offended Lord Li Hou. When I look back, Ben Gong will definitely let him come to the door to apologize and accompany Lord Li Hou."

Li Xin hurriedly shook his head: "The Empress, please don't say that, it was Yonglefang that caught fire at that time, and the minister obeyed His Majesty's intention to go to Yonglefang to put out the fire, so Yu Linwei was used, and there was some quarrel with Uncle Guo. Totally misunderstood..."

   Queen Xie gritted her teeth, but in the end she didn't say anything.

   She was somewhat annoyed at Li Xin.

Shanyin Xie's coming to Beijing is not as simple as "brother-in-law" arranging work for "brother-in-law". As a queen, she has some power of her own in the court. In other words, Shanyin Xie wants to be in court. After the last incident, Shanyin Xie's reputation in the capital was severely hit, and it would be difficult for the Xie family to stand firm in the court in the future.

   After taking a few deep breaths, she forced a smile.

   "Ben Gong is also a little impulsive. Since it is a misunderstanding, Lord Li should not take it to heart."

   It's okay to lose your temper, but if you completely offend Li Xin, a popular celebrity, because of this incident, Queen Xie is not so stupid.

   "I dare not."

   Queen Xie looked back at the emperor, then saluted and said in a low voice, "Since Your Majesty has something to do, the concubine will retire first."

  The emperor patted her shoulder, a little helpless.

"I have clearly told you about your brother, how can you still be so nonsense, if it weren't for Chang'an, we might be dead now, how could we live in this imperial city? Women and Dao people have too shallow eyelids. already."

  The Empress's body trembled, and she whispered, "My concubine is confused."

   "Okay, you go down first, I will explain these things to Chang'an."

"Yes."

   Having said that, the Empress hugged Her Royal Highness and walked away.

  The emperor pulled Li Xin's sleeves and said with a smile: "Come to Chang'an, let's take a look with me. These are famous species that came from the south as tribute not long ago. Each pot of flowers has a different attitude. I like it very much."

   "After seeing these flowers, the depression that I have accumulated in my heart a few days ago has dissipated a lot."

   Li Xin nodded and followed behind the emperor, the two rulers and ministers were enjoying the flowers and talking about things.

  The emperor sighed: "Fu Dao people have small stomachs, only her relatives and brothers are in their hearts. Don't blame her in Chang'an."

   "I dare not."

   Li Xin smiled and said: "I just think that the uncle of the country is a little too childish, why did he suffer a loss in the court, and he had to go to his sister to complain."

  The emperor laughed: "He not only went to his sister to file a complaint, he also came here. He said that you are lawless and arrogant in Chang'an."

   Having said this, the emperor paused, then smiled and said,

   "He also said that Chang'an, your private embargo's intentions are not good."

   Li Xin's face became serious.

   If the first crime is just a child's mischief, then the latter crime is wanting to die.

   "What does Your Majesty think?"

  The emperor laughed dumbly: "The child was angry and just crawled and bit randomly. I scolded him and told him to get out."

  Li Xin smiled and said, "Mostly, they went to the Empress."

  For now, the revolutionary friendship between Li Xin and Emperor Taikang can still stand the test, at least not something that a naive kid like Xie Jing can shake.

  The Emperor smiled: "His sister has soft ears, but she's actually not bad. Give me a face for today's affairs, and that's it?"

"Yes."

  The emperor took Li Xin to see Huihua again. The two exchanged some things they had encountered in the past few days. They were both chatting and laughing. After a while, the emperor suddenly turned around and looked at Li Xin behind him.

   "How's Ye Mao over there?"
