Chapter 153: Returning at Night
This kind of question is the most test of a prince's temperament, if the seventh prince is angry with Li Xin at this time, or begins to be suspicious, then no matter what, Li Xin can no longer continue to cooperate with him.
The Seventh Prince lowered his head slightly, stretched out his hand to pour Li Xin a glass of sake, and said softly: "It's not a bad thing for Brother Xin to have time to go to the Qi Palace......
Speaking of this, he looked up at Li Xin and said with a smile: "After all, our biggest opponent in the future is my fourth brother, Brother Xin knows him better, and we will have more confidence in the future." ”
This answer can be said to be the perfect standard answer.
This kind of answer is absolutely impossible without a certain emotional intelligence.
Li Xin squinted his eyes and smiled: "I thought that His Highness would be a little concerned about this matter, since His Highness doesn't mind, I will rest assured." ”
The Seven Princes' hearts moved slightly.
At present, Li Xin has become an indispensable assistant to the Wei Palace, and he can't lose Li Xin's helper no matter how he ascends the throne.
In the past, Li Xin only had such a choice as Wei Wangfu, and the Seventh Prince was not very worried, but now it seems that the Fourth Prince Ji Huan has also noticed Li Xin, so Ji Wen must add to Li Xin.
He wants to keep Li Xincai.
His Royal Highness the King of Wei narrowed his eyes and laughed softly: "If I'm not mistaken, Brother Xin is sixteen years old this year?" ”
Li Xin glanced up at the Seventh Prince, put down the chopsticks in his hand, and said softly: "I was born in the second year of Chengde, and I should be seventeen years old this year according to the imaginary age." ”
In this era, age is generally calculated according to the imaginary age, in the past, Li Xin was according to the habits of his previous life, so he claimed to be sixteen years old, and if you calculate carefully, he should be seventeen years old this year.
Ji Wen chuckled: "Seventeen years old should also be the time to marry a wife and have children, you are also very familiar with my sister, she is one year younger than you, in a few days I will write to my father, how about letting my father promise her to you?" ”
Now, Li Xin has no worries about food and clothing, and he has become an official in Yulin Weili, and in a short period of time, the things that the Seventh Prince Ji Wen can take, except for the promise in the future, there is only such a girl left.
The promise of the future is illusory, but the ninth princess is real, and His Royal Highness the King of Wei also knows that his sister is interested in Li Xin, and this favor is very suitable.
If Li Xin becomes his brother-in-law, then he will never be able to get off the chariot of the Wei Palace.
Li Xin lowered his head and said softly, "Your Highness, this matter ...... There is no hurry. ”
Ji Wen smiled: "Why, Brother Xin doesn't like my sister?" ”
Li Xin shook his head slightly.
"Princess Zhong Lingyuxiu of Qinghe, and it is a golden branch and jade leaf, others dare not look at it, where does Li Xin have the idea of picking and choosing, but Li Xin's current status is too low, His Majesty will probably not allow it, even if it is allowed, it will ...... in the future It's not pretty, either. ”
If Li Xin marries the ninth princess Ji Lingxiu now, he will become the concubine of the Ji family, and when he does things as a concubine, then no matter what he does, he will be labeled as nepotism.
In fact, Li Xin still likes the greedy little princess a little, but at this time, his "height" is still too short, and it is more appropriate to talk about this matter when his status is about the same as that of Princess Qinghe in the future, or even higher.
He is sixteen years old this year, and the princess Qinghe is only fifteen years old according to her age, so it can be said that she is still two children.
The Seventh Prince nodded and said in a low voice: "I can probably understand what Brother Xin'er means, don't worry, if Xiao Jiu's marriage is mentioned by his father and concubine, I will try my best to suppress it." ”
The Seventh Prince is the brother of the Ninth Princess Ji Lingxiu, and he is quite powerful in both the court and the opposition.
However, it is impossible for the marriage of the heavenly family to be pressed for too long, with Ji Lingxiu's age, it will take three years at most to get married.
Thinking of this, His Royal Highness King Wei glanced at Li Xin.
Three-year ...... I don't know where you and I will go in three years.
The two of them pushed the cup and changed the lamp while discussing future actions, and when the moon was in the sky, Li Xin stood up staggeringly, and arched his hand at Ji Wen: "Your Highness, this is here today, I will go back first." ”
His Royal Highness King Wei stood up to keep Li Xin, and said with a smile: "Brother Xin, it's midnight, you stay and stay for one night, I'll let someone arrange a guest room for you, and then leave tomorrow morning." ”
Li Xin was the overlord of the wine field in his previous life, but after all, his body in this life has not been exercised by alcohol, and now he is a little dizzy, he shook his head and said: "Your Highness, there is still a girl waiting for me at home, if I don't go back, she will probably not sleep." ”
The Seven Princes tried every means to keep him, but Li Xin still insisted on going home, and in desperation, Ji Wen could only send a carriage to send Li Xin back to Datongfang.
Before getting into the carriage, Li Xin's wine had already woken up a little, and he bent over to Ji Wen and said: "Your Highness, the folk wine is sold, I can start from the proud building, and there will probably be no problems, but whether this wine can enter the army, I have no way to interfere, it all depends on His Highness's mediation in the court, this is the most important thing for us in recent times, Your Highness must do your best." ”
His Royal Highness King Wei nodded, and said in a deep voice: "Brother Xin'er, don't worry, I will take care of the stakes, and I will definitely try my best to do this, if it really doesn't work, I will go directly to meet my father and the emperor, and dedicate this thing to his old man." ”
Directly dedicated to the emperor, although the effect is slightly inferior to the previous plan set by Li Xin, but it is also a backup method, Li Xin nodded, and stepped into the carriage of the Wei Palace.
"Your Highness, I won't be out and walk around for the past few days, and after this wine has been steamed out of dozens of jars, Your Highness remembers to let people come to the Princess's Mansion to inform me."
Steaming wine is naturally impossible to do in the Wei Palace, you need to find another workshop, and you have to use your own people, and most importantly, you have to do confidential work.
These are very small troublesome things, but Li Xin doesn't have to worry about these things, he just needs to take an idea, and then hand it over to the Wei Wangfu to do, and His Royal Highness the King of Wei will do all the trivial things beautifully.
This is also the reason why Li Xin is temporarily attached to the Wei Palace.
If this is his own steamed wine, it is estimated that not long after he made it, someone should have come to the door to grab something.
Ji Wen said softly: "Brother Xin, don't worry. ”
The purple carriage slowly left Yongle Fang and headed towards Datong Fang in the south of the city.
Despite the curfew, the Jingzhao Mansion that patrolled the city did not dare to stop the carriage of the Wei Palace, and in the second half of the night, the carriage successfully arrived at Datongfang, and Li Xin walked down from the carriage and looked up to see his yard.
In the courtyard, there are still faint lights.
Zhong Xiaoxiao is an extremely insecure girl, after she went to the charcoal seller, she didn't dare to turn off the lights alone, and she didn't dare to sleep.
Only Li Xin or Cui Jiuniang, when she is nearby, this girl can sleep peacefully.
Li Xin shook his head, took out the key from his sleeve, and opened the gate of the courtyard.
