It is unlikely that Li Xin will go in person to investigate the news, but he can now be regarded as a person wearing a pair of pants with the Wei Wangfu, so send a letter to the Wei Wangfu and ask the Seven Princes to help investigate.

Although the Seventh Prince is now without Tianmu Prison, the proud building is still there, as Hou Jingde said, Li Ji's matter is not small, so it should be easy to get his pigtails.

And things in the officialdom, many times the reason for the accident is not because you committed a crime, but because someone wants to move you, so the person with an unclean butt is likely to be easily taken down, this time the person who wants to move Li Ji is the current Shengtianzi, according to reason, it should go very smoothly.

For the current Li Xin, Li Ji's matter is no longer the key, the key is how to coax the ninth princess.

Ji Lingxiu is a very suitable match for Li Xin, firstly because this girl is very good-looking, and secondly because she is very beautiful.

Also, her identity is very important.

Although Li Xin made up his mind not to deal with the Pingnan Marquis Mansion, the Son of Chengde and the Seventh Prince all knew that he was Li Shen's illegitimate son, and this label could not be washed off, and at certain times and places, this identity would be a little sensitive.

For example, the Son of Heaven will wonder if Li Xin is an undercover agent sent by Li Shen.

The Son of Chengde and the Seventh Prince hope to use the Nine Princesses to completely pull Li Xin to their side, and Li Xin also needs to use the Nine Princesses to win the trust of the father and son.

However, all this is based on the fact that Li Xin does not hate the Ninth Princess, and if Her Royal Highness the princess makes him very disgusted, then Li Xin may have to consider leaving Beijing with Zhong Xiaoxiao

Each girl's personality is different, and the way to coax her is different, but for a foodie like Ji Lingxiu, the way to coax her is very simple, that is, to make her delicious.

In the end, when Li Daduwei appeared in front of Princess Qinghe with a pot of sauerkraut fish, the ninth daughter of the dynasty still gave in.

After all, few people can resist the temptation of food, let alone a gluttonous ghost like Ji Lingxiu.

The ninth princess was holding a bowl of rice and glanced at Li Xin while eating.

"You're a very bad person, I don't know how many things you hid and didn't get me to eat"

Li Xin smiled bitterly on the side: "It's really not much." ”

After staying in Princess Qinghe's Mansion for a long time, he finally coaxed Her Royal Highness the princess, Li Xin winked at the Ninth Princess who was rubbing her belly on the recliner, and said with a smile: "Your Highness, it's already evening at this time, it's not appropriate for me to stay here, so I'll go back first." ”

The ninth princess let out a soft "um" and asked, "Are you promoted now?"

Li Xin lowered his head and smiled: "It's a little higher." ”

In front of the prince of Chengde, Prime Minister Huan Chu and even Lang General Hou Jingde, Li Xin is like a junior, and his speech and actions are quite restrained, but in front of the ninth princess, Li Xin has always been a very relaxed person.

Because she's just a simple gluttonous girl.

Although she is in the royal family, but with the blessing of her father and brother, Ji Lingxiu has no chance to come into contact with those dirty things, and she is still simple-minded and does not have too many twists and turns.

Ji Lingxiu stood up and bowed her head slightly: "Then you are now a few officials."

"Zheng Liupin."

Li Xin glanced at the Ninth Princess in surprise, and asked with a smile, "Your Highness is asking what you are doing with this?"

Ji Lingxiu pondered for a moment in her heart, and was faintly happy in her heart.

If I'm not mistaken, when my sisters got married, the lowest status among the few concubines was a sixth-rank official, and Li Xin is now a sixth-grade official, so

In fact, this is a very simple idea, a six-rank petty official is not worthy of a princess no matter what, if it can, then the father and ancestor of this six-rank official are very remarkable.

Li Xin has no great father and ancestor, he wants to marry the ninth princess, and there is still a short distance to go.

At the very least, you have to become a five-grade Yulin Zhonglang general, which can be regarded as the right one.

Faced with Li Xin's question, Ji Lingxiu's face was flushed, and she lowered her head and did not answer.

Li Xin glanced at Her Royal Highness the princess with a flushed face with some curiosity, and said with a smile: "Your Highness, it's getting dark, I'm leaving."

Ji Lingxiu plucked up the courage to glance at Li Xin, and said, "You seem to have become a little darker." ”

Li Xin was a little speechless.

He didn't just get darker, in the middle of summer, he ran all the way from the capital Jinling to Youyun, more than 2,000 miles back and forth, he is now a whole circle of darkness, this princess is only concerned about eating, and he has only found out now

Li Xin smiled helplessly: "No way, there is an imperial mission to do, and it should be hard work." ”

"I heard what Brother Qi said."

Ji Lingxiu plucked up her courage, walked in front of Li Xin, stretched out her hand and grabbed Li Xin's sleeve, and said: "Seventh brother said that you fought with the Hu people in the north, and after meeting the capital, you were busy dealing with the aftermath for the people under you, I actually didn't blame you."

She lowered her head, her face flushed: "I just want to lose my temper and let you come to me"

It's already rare to have a girl take the initiative to say these thoughts.

Li Xin was also a little moved, he cautiously stretched out his hand and took the princess into his arms.

Ji Lingxiu hesitated, but finally did not struggle, and was obediently held in Li Xin's arms.

"Your Highness, do you like me?"

The ninth princess snorted lightly: "I don't like you, you are a bad person." ”

"Is it good for the bad guy to marry you in the future?"

The ninth princess grinned, shook her head and said, "It's not good, you haven't come to see me for four or five days, so I don't want you to marry me." ”

Li Xin blinked his eyes and said with a smile: "After marrying you, I can make you delicious food every day." ”

The ninth princess timidly stretched out her hand and hugged Li Xin's waist.

"Okay then."

This day is the 25th day of July in the 18th year of Chengde.

A pair of boys and girls in Datongfang, Jinling City, formalized their relationship.

Li Xin stayed in Princess Qinghe's Mansion for another hour, and finally saw that it was too late, shook his head at Ji Lingxiu, and said with a smile: "Your Highness, it's dark outside, if I don't go back, I will gossip if I don't show it to outsiders." ”

Ji Lingxiu's mind is now full of Li Xin, and when she heard this, she nodded obediently: "Then when will you come again?"

"In two days."

Li Xin reached out and touched her head, and said with a smile: "I'm going to be busy with something in the past few days, and I'll come over to accompany you when I'm done." ”

The two of them walked outside while talking, and finally the ninth princess sent Li Xin to the back door of the princess's mansion, she took Li Xin's hand, and her voice was as thin as a mosquito.

"When will you marry me?"

Li Xin hesitated for a moment, and finally chose to tell the truth.

"I don't know yet."

Li Xin's tone was a little meaningful: "But it shouldn't take long." ”
