According to the rules, if the emperor dies, his children should be mourned for three years, or at least twenty-seven months, otherwise there will be no way to get married.

However, during the reign of Emperor Wu, the Great Jin Dynasty went to war with the north and south at the same time, and the domestic males were consumed in large quantities. At that time, such a rule was set: children could get married after being mourned for more than three months.

In the Chengde Dynasty, the rule changed to one year, but wealthy families usually only got married for three years, and this is especially true for the royal family. However, if they are at the right age, the emperor can issue an order to marry without taking the rules into consideration.

What the emperor said meant was to give marriage to Li Xin and the Ninth Princess.

The emperor is about to marry a girl, so Li Xin naturally has nothing to object to. After all, his emotional foundation with the Ninth Princess is almost the same as when he gets married.

But at this juncture, he could not help but have other ideas.

When the emperor saw Li Xin responding, he smiled even happier.

"When you get married, we will be a family and we will be closer."

Bullshit.

Li Xin rolled his eyes silently in his heart.

Throughout history, the most enjoyable relative of the royal family killed was the prince-consort. No royal family would treat the prince-consort as their own family.

This is a not very good profession.

The Marquis of Jing'an bowed his head and said, "I, thank you for your marriage."

After the emperor finished talking about the marriage grant, he pulled Li Xin and sat down, and said, "Ye Ming has returned from the north, does Chang'an know?"

"Know."

Li Xin nodded and said, "I just came out of Duke Chen's mansion and met this Senior Brother Ye."

There is nothing to hide in this kind of thing. If Li Xin doesn't say it, the emperor will know it. It's better to say it openly and look more open.

Emperor Taikang said in a deep voice: "I transferred Ye Ming back to the capital because you said Chang'an that the first move is the best. After this New Year's Eve, even if the southern Xinjiang does not take action first, I will still take action against southern Xinjiang."

Speaking of this, the emperor took a deep breath.

"At that time, it will be up to you in Chang'an."

Li Xin shook his head and smiled bitterly: "Your Majesty knows the best in his heart. This battle in southern Xinjiang still depends on Senior Brother Ye. At most, I will follow him and shake the flag and shout."

Speaking of this, Li Xin paused and continued, "I heard that Your Majesty sent the Inner Guard to the Northern Zhou family to get people some time ago."

The emperor nodded and said, "There is such a thing. Calculate the time. Half a month has passed. They should be about to get to the place now."

When doing this, Emperor Taikang made his own idea. He thought of taking the Northern Zhou families to the capital to question the crime of lying to report the disaster. Because he wanted to do it as quickly as possible, Emperor Taikang sent his own soldiers to get the people without going through the court procedures.

Li Xin lowered his head and sighed: "Your Majesty's move may alarm the enemy."

"Since those aristocratic families dare to cooperate with Li Shen, they must be prepared to rebel. If Your Majesty wants to take them, they should be under the brink of heavenly soldiers and surrender to ten times with one force, and directly capture them all in one go. A thousand inner guards said that there were a lot less, but more said it was not too much."

The emperor frowned and said, "Can they dare to resist?"

Li Xin smiled bitterly and said, "Your Majesty, they can even do something to lie about the disaster, what else can't they do?"

This is actually no wonder Emperor Taikang.

Originally, the emperor wanted to arrest someone, but in theory, he didn't even need to send someone over. Just a single imperial edict could allow the family to be robbed and apologized. Even if he took any criminal minister, there were only a few people going to the Ministry of Justice or Dali Temple, and he could easily bring the person back.

This time, the emperor sent a thousand people over, which had already given enough face to those aristocratic families.

But unfortunately, the situation is different.

Marquis Jing'an looked at the north side with some concern.

"Calculate the time, the people from Your Majesty's mission should have arrived in the north. If the Northern Zhou tribes were a little cruel, they would probably have started fighting now."

The emperor frowned slightly and did not speak.

…………

After leaving the palace, it was already dark.

Li Xin got off the carriage in Yonglefang, walked on the street of Yonglefang, carrying his hands on his back, and looked around. Finally, he found a beautiful dead grass beside the road, bent down and picked it in his hand.

This most prosperous yard in the capital is still full of lights at night, and in comparison, other yards are much dimmer.

It was almost November at this time, and the wind was very cold at night. Li Xin tightened his robe and did not return to the Jing'an Marquis Mansion, but walked towards his carriage.

This lilac carriage from the Jing'an Marquis Mansion slowly drove out of Yonglefang.

"Go to Princess Qinghe's Mansion."

The personal guard of the Hou Mansion who was driving respectfully bowed his head: "Yes."

The carriage slowly moved towards the direction of Datongfang.

At this time, all the yards in the capital were closed, but with Li Xin's current power, these things could not hinder him. Half an hour later, the carriage appeared at the gate of Princess Qinghe's mansion.

The gate of the princess's mansion was knocked, and the Yulin Guard who was guarding the door happily let Li Xin in.

Then the maid from the Princess's Mansion quickly went in to report. After Li Xin entered the main hall of the Princess' Mansion, the Ninth Princess who had already fallen asleep had already changed her clothes and came out to greet him.

His princess's face was blushing.

"What are you doing when you run over in the middle of the night? Others want to talk nonsense when they see it!"

Li Xin stood up and whispered in her ear: "Let's go, let's go to a place where there is no one. I have something to say to you."

The Ninth Princess gritted her teeth and finally pulled Li Xin to the back garden of the princess's mansion.

It was already winter now, everything was withered, and there was nothing to see in the garden of the princess's mansion. The princess kept pulling Li Xin under the pavilion in the back garden and gritted her teeth: "Don't want to go to my room. If you have anything to say, just say it here."

Li Xin smiled and wrapped around her waist: "Have your brother talked to you recently?"

"No."

The Ninth Princess shook her head and said, "Brother Seven is very busy now. Sometimes when I go to the palace to see my mother, I can't see him once. Did you see him more than I see me? What do you do?"

The brother and sister have never met each other, which means that this girl doesn't know about it yet.

Li Xin held one of her hands and said in a sincere tone: "Then are you willing to marry me?"

Xiaojiu pushed Li Xin with his hand, but she didn't push it away. She blushed and said, "You ran over in the middle of the night just to ask this?"

Li Xin nodded.

“This question is very important.”

Jing'an Hou's tone was solemn.

"If you want to marry me, I will marry you."

This sentence sounds strange, but it contains Li Xin's very complicated mood.

Because marrying the Ninth Princess is not a good thing for his future development.

But if the Ninth Princess is willing to marry, he will be willing to marry.

Ji Lingxiu looked up at Li Xin's extremely serious face, as if she understood something. She took the initiative to hold Li Xin's hand in her hand, and then nodded slowly.

"I do."

A smile appeared on Li Xin's face.

"Then I agreed, I will not regret it in the future."

Ninth Princess Zheng’s key head.

"Don't go back on your word."

"Then you put your hand out."

Xiaojiu obediently stretched out his slender hand.

"It's not the right hand, it's the left hand."

"oh."

The little girl stretched out her other hand obediently.

Then, a somewhat rough but beautiful grass ring was worn on the Ninth Princess' finger.
