Unparalleled Concubine

   Chapter 341

   Muying has no worries in the capital, as long as he takes a leave of absence in Yulinweili, he can leave the capital and return to Shu County.

   And his boss is someone Li.

Therefore, Mu Ying took advantage of the reputation of returning to his hometown to visit relatives, and left the capital smoothly. He rode his jujube red horse and galloped towards Shu County. He changed horses for free, and after enjoying this kind of treatment several times, Mu Langjiang couldn't help smiling.

   "Lao Tzu is much more comfortable than when I was a rebel before!"

  When he was a rebel last year, he had to remain anonymous and hide along the way, for fear of revealing his identity and being caught by the officers. Now the officers on the road would call him general when they met him, which made him feel a little proud.

   This is social proof.

  As gregarious creatures, people are all eager to be recognized. This sense of recognition is more detailed, and it is reputation.

  When Mu Ying went all the way south, Li Xin also began to pay New Year's greetings everywhere in the capital.

   The first place he went was not Duke Chen’s mansion, but Kunde Palace, the harem, the residence of the Empress Dowager.

Concubine Shu, as the biological mother of today's son, naturally became the queen mother when the emperor in Chengde had no queen. The marriage between Li Xin and the ninth princess has now been basically settled. At this time, it is natural to pay New Year's greetings to the mother-in-law. of.

This empress dowager, who was born into a wealthy family, somewhat disliked Li Xin's background at first, but Li Xin was the youngest first-generation marquis since Jin, and he was also a little handsome, and the nine princesses also liked it. Niangniang liked Li Xin more and more, and after meeting him a few times, she could not wait to regard Li Xin as her own son.

   After entering the Kunde Palace, Li Xin leaned over to kowtow to the Empress Dowager and said, "I wish the Empress Dowager a long life and good health."

   The Empress Dowager was only in her early 40s this year, and she was still very young. She immediately helped Li Xin up with her own hands, and took Li Xin's hand and sat down in the back room.

   "It won't take long, we will be a family, and there will be no outsiders in the future, so don't kneel."

   Li Xin glanced at the Ninth Princess who was standing beside him, and smiled at the Queen Mother: "It's also right to kneel on the elders."

  Compared to Emperor Taikang, this empress dowager doesn't care much for Li Xin. Li Xin can feel that she is the kind of love for juniors, so Li Xin also respects this empress dowager.

  The queen mother took Li Xin's hand and sighed: "It's a pity that the late emperor is gone, so I can't see you and Xiao Jiucheng married. The late emperor liked Xiao Jiu the most."

   Princess Nine sat beside the Empress Dowager and snorted softly.

   "Who is going to marry him..."

  Li Xin smiled but did not speak.

   The nine princesses glanced at Li Xin angrily.

   "Where did you go yesterday, you didn't come to pay New Year's greetings to your mother on the first day of the new year..."

   The Empress Dowager also looked at Li Xin curiously.

Li Xin took a deep breath and lowered his eyebrows and said, "There was a Yulinwei brother Paoze who died in the North with me. His brother later replaced him in Yulinwei. He also lost an arm a few days ago. Both brothers were under 20. One died and the other was disabled. Their father also died on the battlefield. There was only one mother and one younger sister left in the family. I felt a little sorry for them. Things went to see the family."

Elderly women can't listen to these human sufferings the most. With just a few words from Li Xin, the Queen Mother was about to wipe away her tears, she sighed: "It's also a poor family, and they all contributed to my promotion. ."

The battle in the harem is fierce. The queen mother can be a noble concubine in the palace. It is unrealistic to say that she is a person who does not understand the world. But now that her son has become the emperor, she is the biggest winner in this harem. Without any opponents, The heart softened.

   "Li Xin, you have to take good care of this family, don't let them feel cold towards Dajin and the imperial court..."

   "The Empress Dowager can rest assured, this minister will take good care of them..."

  The Empress Dowager took Li Xin's hand again and said a few words, and asked a few things about work.

   Actually, although Li Xin has a position as the right servant of the Ministry of War, he has never worked in the Ministry of War until now.

  The Ministry of War is one of the six departments, one of the most powerful yamen.

   Li Shen, as the Minister of War, hides at home every day because he cannot really take charge of the Ministry of War, but Li Xin is a real right servant. Without the Minister of War, he is actually the second-in-command of the Ministry of War.

   This position is very heavy, at least more weighted than Yulin Nakaro.

   Stayed in Kunde Palace until noon, and ate a meal with his future mother-in-law before Li Xin got up and said goodbye.

   When parting, the Empress Dowager took Li Xin's hand and asked, "How old are you this year?"

   Li Xin bowed his head and said, "Back to the Queen Mother, Chengde was born in the second year, and after the new year, it's time to be eighteen."

   At this time, the virtual age is used. In the first year of Taikang, Li Xin is really eighteen years old.

   The Empress Dowager said with a smile, "Eighteen is barely enough to count as a dick, so go back and find someone to give you a word, otherwise it wouldn't be appropriate for Li Xin to call you every day."

   In this era, few people called them by their first names. They were usually called by their first names when they met each other. Only when the elders reprimanded them, they called them by their first names.

  Li Xin hasn't taken the form yet, so the Queen Mother is a bit awkward to call her.

   Li Xin moved in his heart and bent over and said, "Li Xin obeys."

   Coincidentally, he will go to Chen Guogong's mansion to pay New Year's greetings to Ye old man, and then he will ask Ye Sheng to give him a word.

   The nine princesses on the side smiled at Li Xin: "This princess will give you a character, the surname is Li Mingxin, chef, how about it?"

   Li Xin rolled her eyes at her and ignored her.

   He bowed his head to the Queen Mother and said, "There is one more thing to report to the Queen Mother. The minister will go back to his hometown Yongzhou in a few days, and then he will not enter the palace to say goodbye to the Queen Mother."

   Before the queen mother spoke, the nine princesses asked, "You... what are you doing back to Yongzhou?"

   "Build a grave for my mother."

Li Xin took a deep breath and said, "My mother has been lonely all her life, and she didn't even have a tombstone after her death. Now, this minister has barely made a profit. He wants to go back to his hometown to repair the grave of the old man. By the way, I will inform her about the marriage of the old man and the retainer. ."

  The Empress Dowager was greatly touched, and reached out and patted Li Xin's hand.

   "Know filial piety, good boy, good boy..."

   Princess Nine's face was a little red, and she asked timidly: "Then... do I want to follow?"

   Before Li Xin could answer, the Empress Dowager glared at her daughter.

   "You don't have a name now, you don't know anything about what you did in the past."

   Li Xin smiled and said, "When there is a chance in the future, I will take the eldest princess to my hometown to have a look."

  The Empress Dowager nodded and said, "Well, this is a good thing, the Aijia knows, did you tell His Majesty?"

  Li Xin shook his head slightly, bowed his head and said, "I will go to Weiyang Palace to see your majesty now. If you want to come to your majesty to recite your filial piety, you should release the minister out of the capital."

   The Empress Dowager took Li Xin's hand.

   "You just go, if he refuses to let him go, you will come to Aijia, and Aijia will call the shots for you."

   "When you go back, Ai's family asks His Majesty to decree that your mother should be given an order, and she cannot be wronged even underground."

  Li Xin bowed his head and thanked him.

When    left Kunde Palace and walked towards Weiyang Palace, Li Xin slowly closed his eyes.

   He thought of his relatives in Yongzhou.

   is his grandparents, as well as those uncles.

  When my mother died, my uncle begged them to rewrite the family tree for my mother, so that my mother would not become a ghost after her death.

them…

   did not agree.

   The refusal is extremely firm.
