Logically speaking, characters like Li Xin and Hou Jingde should not and cannot meet the prince. Li Xin often went to the Wei Palace because everyone already knew his relationship with the Wei Palace, so they were not surprised, but Hou Jingde had never seen any prince.

If he could meet the King of Wei, the matter would have been mostly done.

After congratulating Li Xin on his move, it was already afternoon. Li Xin greeted Wang Zhong and Mu Ying and went to the Wei Palace in person.

His Highness the King of Wei was not at home, and the people from the King of Wei's mansion only said that His Highness had entered the palace.

Li Xin nodded step by step, and under the guidance of the servants of the royal palace, he went to the side hall of the royal palace to wait.

Not long after he sat down, footsteps came from the door.

Li Xin frowned.

This step is very fine and doesn't look like a man.

As his footsteps got closer and closer, a fragrance wafted over. Li Xin looked up slightly, then immediately lowered his head, put down the teacup in his hand, and stood up from the chair.

The one who walked in from the door was a beautiful woman, who looked in her early twenties. This beautiful woman was dressed in gorgeous clothes and was definitely not a maid from the Prince of Wei's Mansion. She also held a three or four-year-old boy in her hand.

Li Xin lowered his head slightly: "I have met the princess."

His Highness the King of Wei married his wife early, and Li Xin had known it for a long time, but he had never had the chance to see this princess after entering and leaving the Prince of Wei's Mansion so many times.

The beautiful woman walked in slowly with a step, first glanced at Li Xin, and then smiled and said, "How did General Li Lang recognize me as the princess?"

Li Xin did not look up, but just smiled indifferently: "The princess is graceful and can't be imitated by others."

The princess's surname is Xie, and she is the daughter of the Xie family in Shanyin. She is from a wealthy family. She looks gentle and has a slightly plump figure. She married into the Wei Palace in her teens and gave birth to two sons for His Royal Highness the King of Wei over the years. The couple are respectful to each other.

The Princess Xie covered her mouth and smiled, and said softly: "I heard from the prince that General Li Lang is good at speaking, but now he sees it really deserves his name."

Li Xin smiled bitterly in his heart.

He had no foundation in the capital at first. Thanks to his previous life in sales, he practiced a verbal speech, which made him go all the way to this day, and now he has gained a reputation for being eloquent.

"The princess is too honored."

"The prince explained before leaving that if Li Lang comes to the mansion in the future, he should not be neglected. Therefore, I led my child out to see General Li Lang and should not lose his etiquette."

It is normal for a distinguished guest to visit and the hostess is not at home.

Princess Xie smiled and lowered her head to the boy beside her and said, "Yan'er, I've seen you Uncle Li."

This little boy is Ji Yan, the eldest son of the Prince of Wei’s Mansion and the eldest son of the Seventh Prince.

Although this little guy is young, he is obviously systematically educated and has to bow to Li Xin in a proper manner.

Li Xin quickly sideways and shook his head and said, "How can this make me deserve the etiquette of His Highness the Prince?"

"Of course it's worth it."

Princess Xie smiled and said, "The prince herself said that he had acquainted with General Li Lang's brothers, so General Li Lang is naturally Yan'er's uncle. This is our private house. There are not so many court rules. It is also appropriate to ask Yan'er to salute General Li Lang."

Li Xin was filled with awesomeness.

He wanted to send the seventh prince to the throne. If the seventh prince ascends the throne, the prince in front of him will be the crown prince of the Great Jin in the future. He would never dare to let a crown prince recognize him as a man of a different surname as his uncle.

Princess Xie smiled faintly: "General Li Lang, don't be too concerned about you. The prince has always regarded you as his own person, and Xiaojiu is also very close to me. After a while, if you marry Xiaojiu, we will be a family, so there is no need to see you like this."

Speaking of this, she patted the boy beside her on the head and smiled, "At that time, Yan'er will call you uncle."

Li Xin took a deep breath and forced a smile: "What the princess said is that Li Xin did not regard herself as an outsider either."

Female relatives generally do not see outsiders easily. Only some close people will women come out to see guests. He is not very clear about why the Wei Palace came out like this.

The atmosphere in the side hall was a little awkward.

Princess Xie smiled and said slowly: "General Li Lang, wait patiently here. I have asked someone to inform the prince."

Li Xin lowered his head slightly.

"The princess has troubled, it's not very anxious, I'm just waiting here."

Princess Xie was graceful and went to pour a cup of tea for Li Xin himself.

"Li Lang will drink tea."

Li Xin stood up in panic.

Princess Xie shook her head slightly.

"We are a family and we will be relatives from now on. General Li Lang is too disgusted."

Li Xin sneered slightly in his heart.

When getting along with these royal people, the most taboo thing is to ignore others. If you don’t treat yourself as an outsider, you may have violated other people’s taboos!

As the two of them were talking, a burst of rapid footsteps came from outside. His Highness, wearing purple clothes, ran in all the way. After entering the side hall, he lowered his head and took a few breaths: "Brother Xin, you are here just right. I originally wanted to ask you to call you."

Princess Xie poured another cup of tea and handed it over.

"Your Majesty, you are too anxious. You are seen by the Censor and you want to be rude."

The seventh prince took the tea, raised his head and drank it, and took a few deep breaths: "It's a bit important, I have to hurry up. You can take Yan'er down."

Princess Xie nodded: "Prince, please be careful."

As she said that, she held the little prince's hand and walked towards the backyard.

After the mother and son walked away, Li Xincai shook his head slightly and smiled bitterly: "Your Highness, I am a little flattered when I suddenly saw the princess and the prince."

The Seventh Prince shook his head indifferently: "Let's plan together, you will see it sooner or later."

As he said that, he looked up at Li Xin and said, "Talk Xin, you should be seventeen years old this year, right?"

Li Xin nodded slightly.

The Seventh Prince smiled: "When I was as old as Brother Xin, I had children. It's a pity that the child had not been kept, otherwise he would have been five or six years old now."

The ancients got married early and had children early, but the fetus was more likely to die prematurely. This was treated equally by both ordinary people and royal clans.

Li Xin shook his head and whispered: "Your Highness, now is not the time to talk about this."

"Why did you mean this?"

The seventh prince's face turned angry and he slapped the table hard.

"The eldest brother is too bullying!"

Li Xin asked: "What happened?"

"What else can be done? It is naturally to provide the Imperial Guard Zhurong's wine!"

His Highness the King of Wei said angrily: "Today I went to the Ministry of War. The Ministry of War said that I received a note from the Eastern Palace and was prohibited from providing wine to the military in the future. I went to the Eastern Palace and distinguished it with the Great Emperor, but the Great Emperor said that we were using food to make wine and earning money from the national treasury!"

Speaking of this, His Highness the King of Wei was even more angry: "The Zhurong wine I sold to the Ministry of War is all cost-effective, and some of them are sold at a loss. They are much cheaper than the ones on the market. He actually said that I have lost the national treasury and have become rich!"

Li Xin frowned, then took a deep breath and said, "Let's avoid the prince's sharpness first."

"There is no way to avoid him. Now that my father cannot come out of Changle Palace, no one can control him!"

After the seventh prince complained a few times, he turned to look at Li Xin.

"What's wrong with Brother Xin seeing me so anxiously?"

A smile appeared on Li Xin's face.
