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

At this time, it is already November of the first year of Taikang, counting the days, the funeral of the Son of Chengde has been almost a year, according to the previous statement of the Son of Taikang, Li Xin will be married before the year.

But time is of the essence.

It is very troublesome to wait until a year later, that is, after the tenth day of the lunar month, to start preparing for the marriage, and then to prepare three books and six ceremonies, which is very troublesome, so he needs to go back to the capital to prepare.

From now until the Chinese New Year, Marquis Li will probably be very busy, busy getting married, and most of them will immediately follow Ye Ming to the west after getting married.

In the late afternoon, Li Xin returned to the Jing'an Marquis's mansion, and after washing and resting for the night, he changed into court clothes and went to the palace to meet the emperor.

The Son of Heaven is not in Weiyang Palace today, but in the back garden of the palace, I heard Xiao Zheng say that the chrysanthemum garden in the back garden is blooming, and the emperor took his family to enjoy the flowers.

Li Xin could only sit in 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 together." ”

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

"The Queen Mother and Her Royal Highness the Crown Prince."

Empress Xie gave birth to two sons to the son of Taikang, the eldest son Ji Yan was made the crown prince, and the youngest son was made the king of Yan, but now the two children are young, and they are still living in the palace and are carried by the queen's mother.

Li Xin hesitated a little, bowed his head and said, "The queen is here, it's not appropriate for the foreign minister to go, right?" ”

He was a little unhappy with Queen Xie.

Empress 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, but it involves the face of the queen mother and the face of the Xie family in Shanyin, so Li Xin is a little reluctant to see the queen of the Xie family.

The man married Liang Zi in the court, and everyone showed their own means, but the woman is likely to be ugly to Li Xin in person.

Xiao Zheng bowed his head and said, "It's okay, Your Majesty personally ordered Hou Ye to go over." ”

In desperation, Li Xin could only follow Xiao Zheng to the back garden, this palace is very large, and the two of them walked for a pillar of incense for a while, before walking to the chrysanthemum garden in the back garden, Xiao Zheng asked Li Xin to wait on the side, and then he stepped forward and bent down and said: "Your Majesty, the Hou Ye has arrived." ”

Taikang Tianzi was originally holding the prince to enjoy Qiu Ju, but when he heard this, he put the prince down, turned back to Xiao Zheng and said, "Let him come over." ”

"Yes."

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

"Minister Li Xin, I have seen Your Majesty, Niangniang, His Royal Highness the Prince."

Empress Xie is a young woman with a somewhat plump figure, she was holding His Royal Highness the Crown Prince with her hand, and when she heard this, she glanced at Li Xin, and said without being salty: "It turned out that the Marquis of Jing'an had arrived, and the Marquis had talked to His Majesty, and the concubine was a woman, so she would not bother." ”

Her tone was a little weird.

Li Xin looked embarrassed.

Women are like this, they usually take revenge on the spot, Li Xin gave her an embarrassment, and now that she sees Li Xin, she makes Li Xin a little embarrassed on the spot.

"Mother's words are serious."

Taikang Tianzi stood up at the right time, and said to Queen Xie with a straight face: "Okay, don't mess around, your brother's affairs have nothing to do with Chang'an, he committed Yu Linwei's taboo, I just transferred him out of Yu Linwei, how can I remember it on Chang'an's head?" ”

Empress Xie held the crown prince in her arms and glanced at Li Xin lightly.

"It's the brother in the palace who is ignorant and provoked Hou Ye Li, and when he turns around, the palace must let him come to the door to apologize and accompany Hou Ye Li."

Li Xin hurriedly shook his head: "Don't say that, the queen mother must not say that, it was Yongle Fang that caught fire at that time, and the ministers obeyed His Majesty's will and went to Yongle Fang to extinguish the fire, so Yu Linwei had to be used, so I had some quarrels with Uncle Guo, which was completely misunderstood..."

Empress Xie gritted her teeth, but finally didn't say anything.

She was somewhat annoyed with Li Xin in her heart.

Shanyin Xie's entry into Beijing is not as simple as a "brother-in-law" arranging work for the "brother-in-law", as a queen, she also has some of her own power in the court, in other words, Shanyin Xie has to gain a foothold in the court, and after the last incident, Shanyin Xie's reputation in the capital has been greatly hit, and it will be difficult for the Xie family to stand firm in the court in the future.

She took a few deep breaths before smiling reluctantly.

"This palace is also a little impulsive, since it is a misunderstanding, Hou Ye Li should not take it to heart."

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

"I don't dare."

Empress Xie glanced back at the Son of Heaven, then saluted and said in a low voice: "Since Your Majesty has something, the concubine will retire first." ”

Tianzi patted her on the shoulder, a little helpless.

"The matter of your brother, I clearly told you, how can you still mess around like this, if it weren't for Chang'an, we might be dead now, how can we live in this imperial city? The woman's eyes are too shallow. ”

The queen's body trembled, and she said in a low voice: "The concubine is confused." ”

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

"Yes."

As she spoke, the queen mother walked away with His Royal Highness the Crown Prince in her arms.

The Son of Heaven pulled Li Xin's sleeve and said with a smile: "Come to Chang'an, take a look with me, these are all famous species that came from the south not long ago, each pot of flowers has a different posture, I like it a lot." ”

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

Li Xin nodded, followed behind the Son of Heaven, and the two of them talked about things while admiring the flowers.

The Son of Heaven sighed: "The woman has a small belly and chicken intestines, and she only has her relatives and brothers in her heart, Chang'an, you don't have to blame her." ”

"I don't dare."

Li Xin smiled and said: "The minister just thinks that Uncle Guo is too childish, how can he suffer a loss in the court, and he has to go to his sister to complain." ”

The Son of Heaven laughed: "Not only did he go to his sister to complain, but he also came here after me, and he said that Chang'an is lawless and arrogant." ”

Speaking of this, the Son of Heaven paused, and then smiled,

"He also said that Chang'an, your private forbidden army has bad intentions."

Li Xin's face became serious.

If the first charge is just a child's nonsense, then the latter charge is that he wants to die himself.

"What does Your Majesty think?"

The Son of Heaven smiled dumbly: "The child was angry, and he just bit randomly, so I scolded him and told him to get out." ”

Li Xinhan said with a smile: "Most of them went to the queen's mother." ”

For now, the revolutionary friendship between Li Xin and Taikang Tianzi can still stand the test, at least it is not something that can be shaken by an innocent kid like Xie Jing.

The Son of Heaven smiled: "His sister is soft-eared, in fact, people are not bad, today's incident gives me a face, that's the end of it?" ”

"Yes."

The Son of Heaven took Li Xin to see the flowers again, and the two exchanged some things they had encountered in the past few days, all talking and laughing, and after a while, the Son of Heaven suddenly turned around and looked at Li Xin behind him.

"How is Ye Mao's side?"
