After answering this sentence, Li Xin stood up from the low table and bowed to the emperor: "Your Majesty, it's midnight now. I have to go back to the mansion first and come to the palace tomorrow to present to Your Majesty."

The emperor smiled and said, "I will sleep in the palace tonight. Is it so big that I can't accommodate you, Marquis Li?"

"I have many things to ask you in detail. Our brothers haven't seen each other for so long, so I'll have a drink all night today."

Li Xin lowered his head and said, "Your Majesty, I have asked Yulinwei to take those two people into my mansion. Then the eldest princess must know that I have returned to the capital. I should wait for me at home to go back. If I don't go back, she won't sleep."

"Your Majesty can't let His Highness wait for a night, right?"

Speaking of this, Li Xin smiled.

"As for the southwest, I am in the capital and will not run away. I will have time in the future. I will tell you slowly."

The emperor patted his thigh and suddenly realized.

"I just care about talking to you, forgetting that you have not returned home in Chang'an."

As he said that, he also stood up, first stretched his waist, then yawned, and said with a smile: "Then you will do this today. I will send you home. You have worked hard along the way in Chang'an. You don't have to come to the palace tomorrow. Now I will have a day off at home and I will summon you to the palace the day after tomorrow."

Li Xin bowed his head deeply.

"I, thank you for your kindness."

As he said that, he slowly withdrew from the Weiyang Palace. Emperor Taikang gave him face and personally sent him to the gate of the Weiyang Palace, then arranged a carriage and horse to send Li Xin home.

When the carriage from the palace slowly left Weiyang Palace, the emperor was still standing at the gate of Weiyang Palace without saying a word.

A young eunuch appeared behind him.

"His Majesty."

The emperor put his hands together in the wide sleeves of his robe and looked back lightly.

This young eunuch naturally came back with Li Xin, Xiao Zheng, the young eunuch who came back. In fact, he had to enter the palace earlier than Li Xin, but he had never appeared.

The emperor had no expression on his face.

"You come with me."

Xiao Zheng bent down deeply and followed the emperor into the inner hall of Weiyang Palace.

This night was destined to be a sleepless night for Emperor Taikang, because of the war in the southwest, there were so many places he wanted to know.

For example...

The mysterious True Man of Pure Yang.

…………

On this side, the carriage carrying Li Xin had left Yong'an Gate. When passing by this familiar palace gate, Marquis Jing'an specially lifted the curtain and took a look. When he raised his eyes, he saw a touch of red.

The one who is on duty at Yong'an Gate is the inner guard.

In other words, it is very likely that the Yulin Guard did not take the turn to the Forbidden Palace in the year and a half after he left Beijing.

Li Xin retracted his head and closed his eyes.

The carriage moves slowly.

Because Yonglefang, where the Jing'an Marquis Mansion is located, is right next to the imperial city, the carriage did not walk for long and stopped at the main entrance of the Jing'an Marquis Mansion. Li Xin was about to step off the carriage, and then he retracted his extended foot back.

He first tidied up his clothes, and then took care of his untidy hairstyle.

After all, I have been away from home for more than a year, and at least I have to dress up when I get home. I can't show my wife a sloppy look.

To be honest, he had never been so serious when he entered the palace just now.

Marquis Jing'an was a little excited while tidying up his clothes.

After more than a year, I don’t know if Xiaojiu has gained weight or lost weight, I don’t know if Xiaojiu has grown taller now, and whether she has had a good meal.

The broken arm should have a film...

I feel timid in my hometown.

After hesitating for a while, Li Xin mustered up the courage and stepped off the carriage.

After getting off the car, he looked up and saw a woman in palace clothes looking forward to the front door of the Jing'an Marquis Mansion.

Li Xin felt warm in his heart.

The people living in the Jing'an Marquis Mansion are the support for him to come to this world and his home, and the woman in front of him is also the root he has taken in this world.

Li Xin stepped forward and took a few steps, then showed the woman's white teeth.

"Xiaojiu, I'm back."

His Highness the eldest princess was looking at Li Xin in a daze, but when she heard that she was awakened, she wiped the tears from the corners of her eyes, turned her head suddenly, and ran towards the Marquis's mansion.

Li Xin was stunned.

Is this girl... going back on her back?

Fortunately, the eldest princess' maid Cui'er did not follow her master. She ran to Li Xin in three or two steps and saluted: "Marty."

Li Xin asked, "What's wrong with the eldest princess?"

Cui'er sighed and lowered her head and said, "Marty, don't be angry. Your Highness has suffered a lot of grievances over the past year. I have heard Your Highness crying at night, but I don't know what the specific reason is..."

Li Xin nodded and asked, "Where is the person sent by Yulinwei just now?"

"In the backyard, Your Highness has arranged a residence for them, and the people from Yulin Guard are watching."

"That's good."

Li Xin was about to step to chase the eldest princess, but suddenly he thought of something and turned around and asked Cui'er, "Where is Xiaoxiao?"

Cui'er said helplessly: "Marty, now you're in a bad mood. The little girl has already gone to bed..."

Li Xin patted his forehead.

"Yes, then I'll look for her tomorrow."

Marquis Jing'an then stepped into the gate of the Marquis' Mansion and walked towards the eldest princess' yard with great strides.

In theory, there is no Li Xin’s own house in this home. Because there are some men in this era, there are generally several yards for large households, and the male owner chooses to spend the night in one of the yards every night.

However, because Li Xin only had one wife, the eldest princess' yard was the bedroom of the two of them.

Soon, Li Xin touched his bedroom, gently pushed the door and walked in.

His Highness the eldest princess was sitting by the bed wiping her tears.

Li Xin walked over, squatted beside her, and gently held her hand.

"What's wrong, ma'am."

The Ninth Princess's eyes were red and she hugged Li Xin.

"Why did you come back..."

Marquis Jing'an reached out and patted her on the back, and said slowly: "I came back just after the battle there. I didn't do anything about the aftermath. Senior Brother Ye is still dealing with the follow-up matters in the southwest."

Li Xin asked with a smile: "What happened? I'm crying when I saw you."

His Royal Highness, the eldest princess, was a person without any worries. As long as there was something delicious, she could laugh out loud. During this time Li Xin was with her, she never saw her cry.

The Ninth Princess wiped her tears and whispered: "You said you will be back for the New Year..."

"Didn't I write to you? It was a critical moment and it was impossible to take time to come back."

Marquis Jing'an smiled and comforted, "Okay, I'll come back this time and I should rarely leave Beijing again in the future. I'll always be with you, okay?"

The Ninth Princess didn't say anything, but just hugged her tighter.

"Do you want to eat and take a shower..."

"I have eaten in the palace, but I still have to take a shower."

Li Xin squeezed his eyes at His Highness the Princess.

"Otherwise, how can I sleep with the beautiful Princess Xiaojiu?"

The Ninth Princess's face was flushed and she patted Li Xin's chest in shame.

...

After a long while of struggle, the two finally hugged each other.

The Ninth Princess lay on Li Xin and spoke softly in his ear.

She told the whole story of Emperor Taikang taking Xiaoxiao into the palace.

In the dark night, Marquis Jing'an narrowed his eyes.

He reached out and patted the eldest princess's smooth back and spoke softly.
