Since Li Xin came to the capital, the Son of Heaven in Chengde has set a lot of "precedents" for him.

For example, before him, there had never been a single concubine who had been named "Enyin Official", and no Yu Linwei's captain battalion had been transferred to the princess's mansion.

There is no precedent for Captain Yulin Wei to be transferred to the military superintendent.

After receiving this holy decree, Lee's confidence was complicated.

To be honest, he actually refused to go to southern Xinjiang in his heart, firstly, he and Li Shen were really not on the right path, and secondly, he offended the Li family in southern Xinjiang.

He is now working as a personal guard in the princess's mansion, making snacks every day, flirting with the princess, and then inspecting his subordinates, and his life is quite nourishing, so there is really no need to take risks in person.

But there is no way.

The holy decree of this era is the Heavenly Rule, and there are only two paths in front of you, either go or die, and there is no third way to choose.

This is the hegemony of imperial power.

Li Xin took the holy decree out of his sleeve and looked it up and down, left and right repeatedly.

This thing, if it is put in the future generations, should be able to sell for a lot of money, right......?

It's a pity that his grade is too low, and the shaft of the holy decree is wooden, if it is a first grade and two grades, it will be a shaft made of jade, and that kind of holy decree has the value of preservation.

Thinking of this, Li Xin looked up at the sky, it was almost noon.

According to what the great eunuch Chen said, he will go to southern Xinjiang with the general of the Zhu State early tomorrow morning, and before that, he still has to say goodbye to the ninth princess.

Li Xin turned around and walked into the princess's mansion, and found Her Royal Highness the princess sitting under the gazebo in the backyard grilling skewers.

After more than a month, she has learned to do it herself and have enough food and clothing.

Li Xin sat silently opposite the ninth princess, looked at her little face, which was already faintly fat, and let out a long sigh.

"Your Highness, it's better to eat staple food at noon."

Ji Lingxiu raised her head and glanced at Li Xin, and snorted in a low voice: "I don't want you to do it, don't care what you do so much, and if you are nosy, this palace will let your father transfer you to guard the city gate!" ”

Now, the relationship between the two of them has advanced a lot, and Ji Lingxiu can already joke with Li Xin unscrupulously.

Li Xin took out a skewer of grilled meat from the grill, and said casually while eating: "I want to go out during this time, and the princess's palace guards will be handed over to the two sentinels to take care of, and it is not peaceful in Datongfang, if you want to go out." Remember to talk to Zhu Ke. ”

Zhu Ke is one of the two sentinels under Li Xin, he is in his thirties, and he basically has no potential to climb up.

Now that Li Xin is leaving the capital, this lieutenant battalion will be temporarily handed over to Zhu Ke to take with him.

The Ninth Princess was concentrating on grilling skewers, but after hearing this, she suddenly raised her head and looked at Li Xin.

"Where are you going?"

Li Xin took out the rolled up holy decree from his sleeve, shook it in front of the ninth princess, and said a little helplessly: "Just now, someone from the palace passed the holy decree, and His Majesty summoned me to go to other places on business, and it is estimated that I will go out for a while." ”

Originally, the recitation of the holy decree was to be received by the people of the mansion, but Chen Ju did not make a big show this time, but just found Li Xin alone and read the holy decree in the room, so he did not alarm the princess of Qinghe.

"How long will it take?"

Li Xin replied softly.

"It can be as short as three months, as long as half a year."

Three months was told to him by Chen Ju, saying that it would only take about three months to return to the capital, but Li Xin was not so optimistic, so he added half a year to go up.

The ninth princess was a little anxious.

"There are so many people in the court, who can't be sent, but I want to send you?"

The ninth princess stood up and snorted: "No, I'm going to ask my father and ask him to send someone else." ”

Li Xin glanced at the ninth princess helplessly.

"Your Highness, the holy decree has come down, do you think Your Majesty will go back on your word?"

The change of the order is the most taboo thing for the rulers, the Son of Heaven Chrysostom said that what he said is the same as the iron fact, and there can be no change, which involves the authority of the Son of Heaven, even if it is the prince, it is unlikely that the Son of Chengde will easily withdraw the holy decree, and Ji Lingxiu, who is a princess, will definitely not succeed.

As a princess, Ji Lingxiu naturally understood this truth, she sat back in her place and bit her lip.

Li Xin comforted softly: "Your Highness, rest assured, the holy decree said, it is just a temporary errand, and I am still the chief of the princess's mansion, and when I return to the capital, I will return to the princess's mansion to do things." ”

The ninth princess stretched out her slender white right hand, which had been stained with a lot of oil from the barbecue, gritted her teeth and said, "Show me." ”

Li Xin glanced at her.

"Your Highness, it is a great disrespectful sin to stain the holy decree, and it will be me who will kill the head when the time comes, don't harm me......"

"I don't know."

The ninth princess took out a handkerchief and wiped her hands, and snorted in a low voice: "The will has come down, you are in the house, who will ask you to check the holy decree again?" ”

"Coward."

As she spoke, she had already wiped her hands clean, and after taking the holy decree and reading it carefully, her face changed slightly.

"Why did you let you go to southern Xinjiang......

"There is a war going on in southern Xinjiang, and it is very dangerous, will you die if you go?"

The Qinghe princess frowned and was worried: "If you die, who will get me something to eat?" ”

Li Xin looked at this foodie princess a little speechlessly.

"Your Highness, don't worry, I'll write down all the recipes for you tonight, even if I die in southern Xinjiang, I won't be hungry for you."

Ji Lingxiu blinked: "Then you go and write." ”

Li Xin sighed, pinched another skewer from the grill, got up and stood up: "Then I'll go back and write the recipe for Your Highness, I'm not in the capital during this time, Your Highness is careful yourself." ”

After Li Xin took a few steps, he glanced back at Ji Lingxiu.

"Also, don't eat too much, you'll really get fat."

Princess Qinghe made a grimace with Li Xin, held her head high and said, "Being fat is a blessing, and my mother has always said that I am too thin." ”

As a princess, she didn't have as many worries as the girls in later generations, because no matter what she looked like, people in the world would rush to please her.

Li Xin shook his head and walked out of the princess's mansion.

Of course, he didn't want to go back to write a snack recipe for this Qinghe princess, he was going to go to King Wei's mansion, this holy decree was too weird, he wanted to discuss it with His Royal Highness King Wei.

In Princess Qinghe's mansion, after Li Xin left, the ninth princess Ji Lingxiu sat alone in the pavilion, a little stunned.

The smile on her face was gone.

I don't know why, but when I look at the originally delicious skewers under the gazebo, I suddenly lose my appetite.
