Chapter 124: I'll Go to the Palace to Set the Storm
Early the next morning, the Marquis of Jing'an, who had been tired for many days, was still dragged up from the quilt by the habit of many years, and stood in the backyard.
After hearing Zhong Xiaoxiao's voice, Li Xin put away his fist pile, took the hot towel from the girl's hand, and wiped the sweat on his face.
The two brothers and sisters, as before, went to the front hall to eat together.
It's just that on the way, Zhong Xiaoxiao obviously wanted to ask Li Xin something, but he was too embarrassed to speak.
Li Xin stuffed both hands into the sleeves of his robe, and said lightly: "That kid is still in the north and hasn't come back with me." ”
Zhong Xiaoxiao lowered his head and let out an "oh".
The Marquis of Jing'an sighed helplessly: "Don't worry, Zhao Fang is doing well now, he is already a captain of the Zhenbei Army, and when he comes back from the north in a few years, he will be able to become an official in a proper manner." ”
Xiaoxiao lowered her head, her face slightly red.
"That'...... That doesn't have anything to do with me......"
With that, she ran away in a panic.
In the familiar front hall, the family finished breakfast, but the atmosphere in the Jing'an Hou Mansion was a little strange at this time.
After all, now the house is surrounded by a group of wolf-like guards, so I have to wonder.
The eldest lady in the family, Ah Han, was as happy as ever, and ran to Li Xin's side from time to time and called "Daddy" a few times.
After breakfast, the eldest princess personally served Li Xin to change his clothes, and this time the Marquis of Jing'an changed into a court dress with a jade crown on his head, and a court dress embroidered with a unicorn.
Sounding.
Only wearing this set of clothes, it took a whole pillar of incense time, and after wearing it, the eldest princess smoothed Li Xin's wrinkles and sighed quietly.
"This dress was given by the imperial court when you were crowned the crown prince, remember that you have never worn it once."
Li Xin held the jade crown on his head, and said with a smile: "In the past, you had to be low-key, but today you have to be high-profile, otherwise you won't be able to suppress those villains." ”
The eldest princess didn't know what to say, so she could only sigh silently,
"You...... Be careful. ”
After getting dressed, Li Xin nodded at the eldest princess and said with a smile: "Wait at home with peace of mind, and when I come back from the palace, all the turmoil will disappear." ”
The eldest princess opened her hands and hugged Li Xin, her eyes a little red.
"If this matter passes, I want to send Ping'er to the eighth brother and foster for a few years......"
The eldest princess's starling brother is the eighth royal highness who was named the king of Yueyang, and he was a vassal in Yuezhou, when Li Xin returned to Beijing from Yongzhou and passed through Yuezhou, he lived in Yueyang Wangfu for a period of time, and the little fat prince had a very good relationship with the eldest princess.
The eldest princess was obviously frightened by yesterday's events and wanted to send her son out of the capital and to a safe place.
The reason why the eldest daughter Li Shu was not sent out of the city was because people in this era had some patriarchal incense thoughts, which were even more deeply rooted in nobles like the eldest princess.
In her subconscious, she felt that her son was more important, but Li Xin, on the contrary, preferred her eldest daughter.
Marquis Jing'an was stunned, and then shook his head silently.
"Not quite yet."
He patted the eldest princess on the back and said softly: "Besides, if it really comes to this point, it is useless to send it to King Yueyang, it just drags down your starling brother in vain." ”
King Yueyang, a vassal king, is basically useless except for the identity of a clan, and in front of the mountain of Taikang Tianzi, he can't even count as an egg.
The reason why the eldest princess has this year is because the eighth prince has taken her to eat and drink since she was a child, and she has a good relationship with her, and she subconsciously regards him as an object that can be trusted.
In fact, today's Marquis of Jing'an, compared to the little fat man in Yuezhou, in addition to his identity, he doesn't know how many times stronger in other aspects.
After comforting the eldest princess, who was a little out of control, Li Xin left the Jing'an Hou Mansion and walked towards the gate of his house.
Chen Sixteen wanted to follow behind Li Xin, but Li Xin shook his head and refused.
He pushed open the gate of the Hou Mansion of Jing'an alone, at the gate of the Hou Mansion, Xie Jing had been waiting for a long time, and next to him was a prepared sedan chair.
"Xiaguan and others, I have seen the general."
He hurriedly saluted Li Xin and said respectfully: "General, Your Majesty invites you to enter the palace." ”
Li Xin put his hands behind his back and squinted at the Qianniu guard behind Xie Jing, and there was an internal guard led by the young eunuch of the internal guard prison, with an expressionless face.
"You've scared my wife."
Xie Jing took a deep breath, gritted his teeth and said: "General, we are also acting on orders, if there is something offended, the next day the official will come to the door in person to make amends with the general." ”
Li Xin glanced at him lightly.
"The people in my house won't run around, and the people at the door will withdraw and scatter."
"It scares my wife and children at home, and I dare to lift the table in the Xie family."
Flipping the table is turning your face.
Xie Jing's face changed slightly, and then he took a few deep breaths to calm himself down, then lowered his head and gritted his teeth and said, "General, the Xie family never meant to offend the general, but... The people of the Tianmu Prison are watching here......"
"I said, "Disperse the people at the door."
Li Xin was still expressionless: "The people in my family will not come out, you continue to surround you, and no one will blame you." ”
After seeing Li Xin's eyes, Xie Jing shuddered and hurriedly lowered his head.
"Xiaguan...... That's it! ”
Only then did Li Xin put his hands on his back and got on the sedan chair.
He rarely sits in a sedan chair, because he feels that someone is carrying him all over his body, and he rides a horse or a carriage in the capital on weekdays, but at this time he sits comfortably, because the people who carry him are all red-clothed internal guards.
The sedan chair soon arrived at Yong'an Gate, and the guards of Yong'an Gate did not even stop it, so they let the sedan chair enter the palace, and the sedan chair did not stop until it reached the gate of Weiyang Palace, and these internal guards stopped the sedan chair.
Before Li Xin got out of the sedan chair, he heard a familiar voice outside.
"Marquis Li, you can count it as coming, Your Majesty is waiting for you in the morning."
As he spoke, the person who was talking outside personally helped Li Xin lift the sedan curtain, Li Xin got out, glanced at the eunuch who lifted the sedan curtain, and said with a smile: "Father-in-law Xiao is too polite, but I don't dare to work Father-in-law Xiao." ”
"Master Hou has tormented the slave maid."
Xiao Zheng lowered his head and said respectfully: "Your Majesty was waiting for you to enter the palace early this morning, and you have been waiting until now, you can go in quickly." ”
"Because of the hard work along the way, I got up late this morning, and it is really a sin to wait for a long time for Your Majesty."
While talking, the two of them walked towards Weiyang Palace, Li Xin walked behind Xiao Zheng, and asked with a smile: "After returning to Beijing, I heard that Gonggong Xiao went to the southwest a few days ago, I don't know why?" ”
Xiao Zheng lowered his head, unable to see the expression on his face clearly.
"Master Hou said by hearsay, the slave maid has been serving His Majesty in the palace, but there is no such thing as Southwest."
Li Xin squinted his eyes and continued to ask: "When I returned to Beijing yesterday, I saw Qianniuwei and the people of the internal guard, surrounding my family, and Gonggong Xiao was in charge of the inner court, can you give me an explanation?" ”
When Xiao Zheng heard this, he simply didn't answer, and walked ahead by himself.
Soon, the two of them arrived at the side hall of Weiyang Palace.
In the side hall, Taikang Tianzi sat on the main seat, quietly waiting for Li Xin's arrival.
His eyes were bloodshot and his face was ugly, and it was clear that he hadn't closed his eyes all night last night.
