Chapter 154 Little Children's Mind
After coaxing Zhong Xiaoxiao to bed, Li Xin also washed up and fell asleep. He had never paid attention to it from morning to night, and now he was a little tired.
Early the next morning, Li Xin changed into Yulinwei's regular clothes and prepared to report to Princess Qinghe's Mansion. After all, he had been back to the capital for three or four days. He had been skipping work these days and had never been to Princess Qinghe's Mansion. It was time to go back to work.
Zhong Xiaoxiao was left at home by him. This girl is quite introverted and can't play with her peers. So Li Xin locks her at home or sends her to Deyilou every day when she goes out. However, Deyilou should be busy helping the Wei Wangfu buy the wine on the market these days, and probably has no time to take care of the little girl, so Li Xin keeps her at home.
The Qinghe Princess Mansion is not very far from Li Xin's house. In just about one stick of incense, Li Xin came to the gate of this princess mansion.
At the gate were two Yulin Guards in black clothes and black armor.
After seeing Li Xin, these two Yulin Guards bent over and held their fists: "I have met Li Zhengwei."
Li Xin glanced at them and said softly: "It's hot, there's no need to cover up your armor. Tell Zhu Ke that when you take turns in summer, you'll be fine."
The main color of Yulinwei is black, which is already very hot. They are wearing a layer of black armor. It was only early in the morning that their foreheads were covered with sweat. By noon, they would most likely faint.
The Yulinwei smiled gratefully at Li Xin and lowered his head and said, "Thank you, Captain Li!"
The most important thing to lead the subordinates is to be kind and do good. Although the 200 Yulin Guards in Princess Qinghe Mansion are Li Xin's subordinates, the whistleman Zhu Ke has been taking them for a longer time, and Li Xin may not be more influential than Zhu Ke. But now Li Xin only said a short sentence, which made these soldiers feel grateful to him.
After all, except for the squadron, the rest of the two hundred people have to take turns. Li Xin's short words made these people suffer a lot of hardships, and they all have to be grateful to Li Xin.
These are all small tricks that Li Xin thought of when he was a young leader in his previous life. They look inconspicuous, but they are very useful.
After walking into the backyard of the Princess' Mansion, Li Xin frowned.
There are a total of 200 people in their lieutenant camp, which is replaced by two shifts day and night. The people who take off the respite are at least eighty or ninety people on duty every day. These eighty or ninety people are distributed in various key positions in the Princess' Mansion or patrolling in the Princess' Mansion. However, Li Xin walked in and found that there were a lot less.
Captain Li casually pulled a Yulin Guard and asked, "Why are there fewer people? Where have they all gone?"
This Yulinwei is also a young man, and looks about the same size as Li Xin. He bowed to Li Xin and said, "Prince Li, many brothers have been called by His Highness the Princess. Bei Zhi doesn't know what they are doing."
Li Xin was behind his hands and walked towards the yard where the Ninth Princess lived. After walking in, he found that there were at least 10 or 20 black-clothed Yulin Guards here, each holding two bamboo chopsticks in his hand and stirring something in the pottery jar.
Several black lines appeared on Li Xin's forehead.
This Ji Lingxiu is really the best foodie. She wrote her way of making cream that day, and she actually called so many Yu Linwei to make cream for her!
Captain Li Dawei shook his hand at them with a dark face: "Go to do whatever you should do, what it looks like to get together here!"
In a sense, Li Xin is the direct Shangguan of these Yulin Guards, but Princess Qinghe is more powerful after all. These people looked up at Li Xin and smiled bitterly: "Prince Li, Your Highness the Princess..."
"You go, I will bear the blame for His Royal Highness."
As soon as these words were said, these Yulin Guards immediately scattered.
It's really not a good job to mix this thing. They have already had their arms aches. Now that Li Xin is here, he just happened to save them.
Li Xin walked to Princess Qinghe's room and said aloud: "Li Xin, Yulin Guard, please see Your Highness."
The door was slowly pushed open, and the Ninth Princess poked her head out of the inside. There was still some butter residue on her mouth. After stretching her head and looking left and right, she frowned: "Have you got them all away?"
Li Xin's face turned dark: "They are Yulin Guards, the emperor's personal army. They are guards in the princess's house to protect His Highness's safety, and they are not for His Highness to get food."
Ji Lingxiu showed her head and waved to Li Xin.
"It's hot outside, you come in and talk."
Li Xin took a deep breath and walked into the side hall.
There were a lot of ice cubes in the room, full of coolness, and the summer heat disappeared here.
The reason why Ji Lingxiu only stuck her head out was to fear that the cold air in the room would "run away".
There were only two people in the room, including her maid Cui'er. They were about fifteen or sixteen years old. They could be said to have grown up since childhood. At this time, each of the two girls was holding a big bowl and enjoying themselves.
Li Xin was speechless.
He began to regret making this thing.
Ice cream is worthy of being a girl killer.
"Your Highness Princess, it's really bad to eat too much..."
Ji Lingxiu put down the porcelain bowl in her hand and glanced at Li Xin: "What's wrong with it? It's so cold and delicious."
She snorted softly, "But those people are not as delicious as you do."
"And you took them away!"
Li Xin sighed helplessly: "You are only two of you, and you can eat something casually. Why do you want so many people to come? This princess mansion is much bigger than the ordinary princess mansion. There is not enough manpower, so you even called so many people at once."
This Qinghe Princess Mansion was built by the Seventh Prince Ji Wen. In terms of the place, it is more than three or four times larger than the ordinary Princess Mansion, and is probably much larger than a large community in later generations. With such a large place, eighty or ninety people are indeed not enough.
Ji Lingxiu smiled and said, "Because I want to do more, and then go to the palace tomorrow and send some to my father and mother so that they can be happy."
Li Xin looked at the Ninth Princess with some surprise.
I thought she could only eat and make trouble, but I didn't expect she would please people.
In the imperial era, pleased others with a little bit of seriousness, but pleased the emperor is a very serious matter.
Speaking of this, the Ninth Princess snorted: "It was not long after Cui'er called them, but you called them all away. Then you can stay by yourself and get all these things done!"
Ji Lingxiu is sixteen years old this year. According to the principle, she is already at the age of getting married. She just wants to please Emperor Chengde more so that her marriage can go smoothly.
Thinking of this, Ji Lingxiu looked up at Li Xin, feeling a little aggrieved.
There were more than twenty clay pots outside the room, and Li Xin alone would definitely not be able to finish it.
Captain Li shook his head, took out a few pears from the fruit plate beside him, then broke them apart, found a porcelain bowl, squeezed half a bowl of juice, put a few more pieces of ice, and finally put some cream made by the Ninth Princess on it.
A pear juice ice cream is finished!
After finishing it, Li Xin sighed softly at the Ninth Princess.
"Okay, I'll compensate you for this. After eating this, you are not allowed to eat it again today. I'll eat this early in the morning, what's the point?"
"As for the matter dedicated to Your Majesty, aren't there still many maids in your house? The girls are careful and let them do it. It's too unreasonable to use the people of Yulin Guard."
