After answering this sentence, Li Xin stood up from the low table and arched his hand to the Son of Heaven and said, "Your Majesty, it is already midnight, and the minister has to go back to the palace first, and then enter the palace tomorrow to present His Majesty." ”

The Son of Heaven said with a smile: "Sleeping in the palace tonight is, a huge palace, can't accommodate you Marquis Li?" ”

"I still have a lot of things to ask you in detail, our brothers haven't seen each other for so long, so I'll have an all-night drink today."

Li Xin bowed his head and said: "Your Majesty, the minister has asked Yu Linwei to take those two people into the minister's mansion, so the eldest princess must know that the minister has returned to Beijing, and she should wait for the minister to go back at home at this time, if the minister doesn't go back, she won't sleep." ”

"Your Majesty can't let Her Royal Highness the eldest princess wait all night, right?"

Speaking of this, Li Xin smiled.

"As for the affairs of the southwest, the minister is in the capital, and he will not run, and there will be time in the future, and the minister will slowly tell His Majesty."

The Son of Heaven slapped his thigh and suddenly woke up.

"I just cared about talking to you, and I forgot that you haven't gone home in Chang'an."

Saying that, he also stood up, first stretched a big lazy waist, then yawned again, and said with a smile: "Then today, I will let people send you home, Chang'an, you have worked hard all the way, you don't have to enter the palace tomorrow, now rest at home for a day, and I will call you into the palace the day after tomorrow." ”

Li Xin bowed his head deeply.

"Thank you, Your Majesty, for your kindness."

Saying that, he slowly withdrew from Weiyang Palace, Taikang Tianzi was very face-saving, personally sent him to the gate of Weiyang Palace, and then arranged a carriage and horse to send Li Xin home.

Waiting for the carriage of the palace to slowly leave Weiyang Palace, the Son of Heaven was still standing at the door of Weiyang Palace and did not speak.

A young eunuch appeared behind him.

"Your Majesty."

The Son of Heaven put his hands in the sleeves of his wide robe and glanced back faintly.

This young eunuch is naturally Xiao Zheng, the young eunuch who came back with Li Xin, in fact, he entered the palace earlier than Li Xin, but he never appeared.

The Son of Heaven was expressionless.

"You come with me."

Xiao Zheng bent down deeply and followed the Son of Heaven into the inner hall of Weiyang Palace.

This night was destined to be a sleepless night for Taikang Tianzi, because of the war in the southwest, there were too many places he wanted to know.

For example......

The pure yang real person who enlightened the mystery.

…………

On this side, the carriage carrying Li Xin had already left Yong'an Gate, and when passing by this familiar palace gate, the Marquis of Jing'an deliberately lifted the curtain to take a look, and when he raised his eyes, he saw a touch of red.

The guards on duty at Yong'an Gate are the internal guards.

In other words, it is very likely that in the year and a half that he left Beijing, Yu Linwei did not take turns in the forbidden palace.

Li Xin retracted his head and closed his eyes.

The carriage moved slowly.

Because Yongle Fang, where the Jing'an Hou Mansion is located, is on the edge of the imperial city, the carriage did not go long, and stopped at the main gate of the Jing'an Hou Mansion.

He first straightened his clothes, and then straightened his untidy hair.

After all, he has been away from home for more than a year, and when he returns home, he must at least dress up, and he can't show his daughter-in-law a sloppy look.

To be honest, when he entered the palace just now, he had never taken it so seriously.

While arranging his clothes, the Marquis of Jing'an felt a little excited in his heart.

For more than a year, I don't know if Xiao Jiu is fat or thin, I don't know if Xiao Xiao has grown taller now, and if he has eaten well.

The arm that was severed in Sixteen should have grown a membrane......

It's timid.

After hesitating for a while, Li Xin mustered up his courage and stepped out of the carriage.

After he got out of the car, he looked up and saw a woman in palace clothes, looking forward to it at the main gate of the Jing'an Hou Mansion.

Lee's confidence warmed.

These people living in the Marquis of Jing'an Mansion are the support for him to come to this world, and they are also his home, and the woman in front of him is also the root he has taken root in this world.

Li Xin stepped forward and took a few steps, then bared his white teeth at the woman.

"Xiao Jiu, I'm back."

Her Royal Highness the eldest princess was looking at Li Xin in a daze, but when she heard the words, she woke up, she wiped the tears that flowed from the corners of her eyes, turned her head suddenly, and ran towards the Hou Mansion.

Li Xin was stunned.

This girl... Did you run the other way around?

Fortunately, the eldest princess's maid Cui'er did not follow her master to run away, she ran to Li Xin in three or two steps, and saluted: "Master Hou." ”

Li Xin opened his mouth and asked, "What's wrong with the eldest princess?" ”

Cui'er sighed, bowed her head and said: "Don't be angry, Your Highness has suffered a lot of grievances this year, and the slave maid has heard His Highness crying at night, but I don't know why......"

Li Xin nodded and asked, "What about the person sent by Yu Linwei just now?" ”

"In the backyard, His Highness has already arranged a place for them to live, and the people of Yulinwei are watching."

"That'll be fine."

Li Xingang wanted to take a step to chase the eldest princess, but suddenly thought of something, turned back to Cui'er and asked, "Where is Xiaoxiao?" ”

Cui'er said helplessly: "Master Hou, it's ugly now, and the little girl has already slept......"

Li Xin patted his head.

"Yes, then I'll look for her tomorrow."

Only then did the Marquis of Jing'an step into the gate of the Hou Mansion and strode towards the courtyard of the eldest princess.

In this family, theoretically, there is no Li Xin's own house, because the men of this era are a bit **, so the big gate is generally several yards, and the male owner chooses to spend the night in one of the courtyards every night.

However, because Li Xin only has one daughter-in-law, the courtyard of the eldest princess is even the bedroom for the two of them.

Soon, Li Xin touched his bedroom, gently pushed the door and walked in.

Her Royal Highness the eldest princess was sitting on the edge of the bed wiping her tears.

Li Xin walked over, squatted beside her, and gently held her hand.

"What's the matter, ma'am."

The ninth princess's eyes were red, and she hugged Li Xin.

"Why did you come back......

The Marquis of Jing'an stretched out his hand and patted her on the back, and said slowly: "I came back just after the battle over there, and I didn't do anything to deal with the aftermath, Senior Brother Ye is still dealing with the follow-up things in the southwest." ”

Li Xin asked with a smile: "What happened, I cried for the first time when I saw you." ”

Her Royal Highness the eldest princess in the past was a person who didn't have any worries, as long as there was something delicious, she could laugh a flower, Li Xin had never seen her shed tears during this time with her.

The ninth princess wiped her tears and said in a low voice, "You said you would come back for the New Year..."

"Didn't I write to you, it was a critical moment at that time, and it was impossible to find time to come back."

The Marquis of Jing'an smiled and said with relief: "Okay, I'll come back this time, and I should rarely leave Beijing in the future, and I'll always be with you, okay?" ”

The ninth princess didn't speak, but hugged her tighter.

"Do you want to eat, take a bath..."

"The meal was eaten in the palace, and the bath still had to be washed."

Li Xin squeezed his eyes at Her Royal Highness the eldest princess.

"Otherwise, how can you sleep with the beautiful little princess?"

The ninth princess's face turned crimson, and she patted Li Xin's chest in shame.

……

After tossing and turning for a while, the two finally hugged each other and fell asleep.

The Ninth Princess lay on Li Xin's body and spoke softly in his ear.

She told the truth that Taikang Tianzi was going to take Xiaoxiao into the palace.

In the dark night, the Marquis of Jing'an squinted his eyes.

He reached out and patted the eldest princess's smooth back and spoke softly.

"It's okay, it's not a big deal."
