Chapter 124 I go to the palace to settle the storm
Early the next morning, the Marquis Jing'an, who had been tired for many days, was still pulled out of the bed by years of habit and stood in the backyard. After standing for an hour, Zhong Xiaoxiao still called him to eat in a crisp voice.
After hearing Zhong Xiaoxiao's voice, Li Xin took the fist stake, took the hot towel from the girl, and wiped the sweat from her face.
The brother and sister went to the front hall for dinner as before.
But on the way, Zhong Xiaoxiao obviously wanted to ask Li Xin what questions he had, but she was not embarrassed to speak.
Li Xin stuffed his hands into the sleeves of his robe and said lightly: "That kid is still in the north and has not come back with me."
Zhong Xiaoxiao lowered her head and said "Oh".
Marquis Jing'an sighed helplessly: "Don't worry, Zhao Fang is living a good life now. He is already the captain of the Zhenbei Army. When he comes back from the north in a few years, he will be a serious official."
Xiaoxiao lowered her head and her face turned slightly red.
"Then...that has nothing to do with me..."
As she said that, she ran away in panic.
In the familiar front hall, the family finished their breakfast, but the atmosphere in the Jing'an Marquis' Mansion was a bit strange at this time.
After all, the family is surrounded by a group of guards who are like wolves and tigers, so I have to wonder.
The eldest lady Ahan at home was as happy as ever, and ran to Li Xin from time to time and called "Dad".
After breakfast, the eldest princess personally served Li Xin to change clothes. This time, the Marquis of Jing'an changed into a serious court uniform, wearing a jade crown on her head and a first-class court uniform embroidered with a Qilin on her body.
Highly sound.
Just wearing this set of clothes, I spent a whole stick of incense. After wearing it, the eldest princess smoothed the wrinkles for Li Xin and sighed in a low voice.
"This dress was given to the court when you were granted the title of Prince Taibao. I remember you have never worn it once."
Li Xin held the jade crown on his head with his hand and said with a smile: "In the past, we should be low-key, but today we should be high-profile, otherwise we will not be able to suppress those villains."
The eldest princess didn't know what to say, so she could only sigh silently.
"You...be careful."
After putting on the clothes, Li Xin nodded to the eldest princess and smiled and said, "Wait at home with peace of mind. When I come back from the palace, all the storms will disappear."
The eldest princess opened her hands and hugged Li Xin, her eyes a little red.
"If this matter is over, I want to send Ping'er to Brother Eight to foster care for a few years..."
The eldest princess’s starling is the Eighth Prince, who was named King Yueyang. She was a vassal in Yuezhou. When Li Xin returned to Beijing from Yongzhou and passed by Yuezhou, he lived in the Yueyang Palace for a while. The little fat prince had a very good relationship with the eldest princess.
The eldest princess was obviously frightened by what happened yesterday and wanted to send her son out of the capital and to a safe place.
The reason why he did not send his eldest daughter Li Shu out of the city is that people in this era have some of the incense idea of favoring boys over girls. This idea is even more deeply rooted in nobles like the eldest princess.
Subconsciously, she felt that her son was more important, but Li Xin liked her eldest daughter a little more.
Marquis Jing'an was stunned for a moment, then shook his head silently.
"It's not that far."
He patted the eldest princess on the back and whispered: "Besides, if it really reaches this point, it will be useless to send it to the King of Yueyang. It just dragged down your starling brother in vain."
A vassal king like Yueyang is basically useless except for the identity of a royal family. In front of the mountain of Emperor Taikang, he is not even worth an egg.
The reason why the eldest princess has been around this time is because the eighth prince brought her to eat and drink since she was a child and had a good relationship with her. She subconsciously regarded him as a target that she could entrust.
In fact, the current Marquis of Jing'an is many times better than the fat man in Yuezhou, except for his identity.
After comforting the eldest princess who was a little out of control, Li Xin then stepped away from the Jing'an Marquis Mansion and walked towards his own door.
Chen Shiliu wanted to follow Li Xin, but Li Xin shook his head and refused.
He pushed open the gate of the Marquis' Mansion alone. At the gate of the Marquis' Mansion, Xie Jing had been bent and waiting for a long time. Next to him was a prepared sedan chair.
"Secretary, I've seen the general."
He quickly saluted Li Xin and said respectfully: "General, Your Majesty invites you to the palace."
Li Xin carried his hands on his back, squinted his eyes and looked at Qianniu Guard behind Xie Jing, and an inner guard led by the junior supervisor of the Inner Guard, with a expressionless face.
"You scared my wife."
Xie Jing took a deep breath and gritted his teeth and said, "General, we are also ordered to act. If there is any offense, the officials of the Xiamen come to the door in person to apologize to the general."
Li Xin glanced at him lightly.
"The people in my family won't run around, the people at the door will evacuate and disperse."
"I scared my wife and children in the family, and I dared to overturn the table in the Xie family."
Turning over the table is like turning against each other.
Xie Jing's face changed slightly, then he took a few deep breaths to calm himself down, then lowered his head and gritted his teeth and said, "General, the Xie family has no intention of offending the General, but... the people from Tianmujian are looking at this..."
"I said, let the people at the door disperse."
Li Xin still had a blank expression on his face: "The people in my family won't come out. If you keep surrounding me, no one will blame you."
After seeing Li Xin's eyes, Xie Jing shivered and quickly lowered his head.
"Sir...this is done!"
Only then did Li Xin carry his hands on the car and get into the sedan chair.
He rarely sits in a sedan chair because he feels that some people are not feeling irritated when carrying him. He usually rides horses or carriages in the capital, but at this time he sits at a safe haven because the people carrying him are all red-clothed inner guards.
The sedan chair soon arrived at Yong'an Gate. The guards of Yong'an Gate didn't even stop him, so they let the sedan chair enter the palace. The sedan chair continued to go all the way to the gate of Weiyang Palace, and the inner guards stopped the sedan chair.
Before Li Xin got out of the sedan chair, he heard a familiar voice outside.
"Mr. Li, you're here. Your Majesty is waiting for you in the morning."
As he said that, the man who spoke outside personally helped Li Xin lift the curtain of the sedan chair. Li Xin crawled out with a short body, looked at the eunuch who lifted the curtain of the sedan chair, and said with a smile: "Eunuch Xiao is too polite, and he dare not work Eunuch Xiao."
"The Marquis has broken his servant."
Xiao Zheng lowered his head and said respectfully: "Your Majesty was waiting for you to enter the palace early this morning. I have been waiting until now. You should go in quickly."
"Because I was working hard along the way, I got up late this morning. It is a sin to wait for His Majesty for a long time."
While talking, the two walked towards Weiyang Palace. Li Xin walked behind Xiao Zheng and asked with a smile: "After returning to Beijing, I heard that Eunuch Xiao went to the southwest a few days ago. I don't know why?"
Xiao Zheng lowered his head, unable to see the expression on his face.
"The Marquis said it from the truth. I have been serving Your Majesty in the palace, but there is no such thing as the southwest."
Li Xin narrowed his eyes and continued to ask, "When I returned to Beijing yesterday, I saw Qianniu Guard and the people of the Inner Guard surrounded my family. Eunuch Xiao was in charge of the inner court. Can you give me an explanation?"
When Xiao Zheng heard this, he simply stopped answering and walked in front of him.
Soon, the two of them arrived at the side hall of Weiyang Palace.
In the side hall, Emperor Taikang sat in the main seat, quietly waiting for Li Xin's arrival.
