Unparalleled Concubine

Chapter 371: I'll help you stand taller

Chapter 371 I will help you stand taller

Among the eleven sons of the late emperor, except for the four who stayed in the capital, the others were directly "eliminated" by the emperor of Chengde.

So is the former eighth prince.

Of course, now that Emperor Taikang is on the throne, this King of Yueyang can no longer be called a prince.

This eighth prince, whose surname is Ji Mingcheng, actually doesn't have any major problems. Delicious food is not a problem. After all, in the royal family, no matter what desires, he can basically be satisfied.

His biggest weakness is that he has no ambitions.

This fellow has been addicted to food since he was a child. He ate himself into a fat man early, and hid in the palace every day to study recipes and eat. With such a character, the emperor of Chengde naturally disliked him, so when he was sixteen years old, he was driven out of the capital and became the king of Yueyang. .

After the two brothers and sisters met, the little fat man was heartbroken.

"Xiao Jiu, why are you so thin?"

Four years ago, Ninth Princess, who was only twelve or thirteen years old, was still a little fat. Now she will grow up and look much thinner than before.

Although the nine princesses were ill, she was amused by his words, and she covered her mouth and smiled: "Mynah, you have gained a lot of weight again."

Little Fatty glanced at his sister resentfully.

"It's okay not to be called mynah, it sounds like a bird."

Xiaojiu got serious and pretended to be serious.

"Brother Eight, you have gained a lot of weight again."

The little fat man smiled happily, sat by the bed of Princess Jiu, and asked, "Xiao Jiu, are you getting better?"

"much better."

Nine Princesses were also very happy, and said with a smile: "The fever has subsided today, and it is estimated that it will be better in a few days."

"Not in a hurry to return to Beijing."

The little fat man smiled and said, "Just go to my place to live for a month or two, otherwise, if you go back to the capital, we two brothers and sisters may not be able to see each other in this lifetime."

The vassal sounds nice, but after the change of dynasties, the vassal of the Jin Dynasty no longer has any authority, and he can't get his fief without an imperial decree. In the past four years, he has married seven or eight wives.

Nine Princesses smiled.

"You have vassal land, but I don't. I will be free in the future. I will often come to Yuezhou to see you."

The little fat man sighed: "I'm afraid you won't be free when you marry someone. By the way, you are at the age to marry. Has the emperor arranged a consort for you?"

The nine princesses glanced at Li Xin, and then said, "The funeral of the father is not over, what are you talking about?"

King Yueyang also looked back at Li Xin, then nodded and said, "Yes."

Mentioning this matter, the little fat man was a little sad: "When I left Beijing, my father was still in good health, how could I have become this situation in just a few years of work? The capital went to mourning, but the court did not reply, so I did not dare to leave Yuezhou."

Having said this, the former eighth prince looked at Xiao Jiu and asked, "Is my mother-in-law okay?"

"The concubine is in good health."

King Yueyang sighed and said softly, "I haven't gone back for several years. When Xiaojiu returns to the capital, talk to the emperor for me, and say I want to go back to the capital to see the mother-in-law."

Little Fatty's mother is Concubine Zhen, the emperor of Chengde. Concubine Zhen is pregnant with two sons and one daughter. The two sons are the eighth son of the emperor and the eleventh son of the emperor. The palace never left the palace.

The nine princesses smiled and said, "Okay, I'll mention this to the emperor when I go back."

King Yueyang stood up and waved his hand: "Okay, after all, this is an outsider's garden, so it's inconvenient to speak. My palace is not far from here, let's go to my house and talk."

Ninth Princess is happy now, and her spirit is much better. She said with a smile: "Okay, I haven't seen what mynah's palace looks like."

Li Xin hesitated.

He turned to look at the little fat man, and said, "My lord, it's natural for the eldest princess to go to your place, but it's not convenient for me to go there."

King Yueyang stared.

"Li Houye can't afford to see this king?"

Li Xin shook his head.

"My lord, I have 3,000 feathered forest guards in my hands. I'm still serving as a military minister, and I... In short, it's inconvenient to be too close to foreign vassals."

Li Xin said with a smile, "I'm sure I'll be fine, I'm just afraid that the prince will be implicated."

"What are you afraid of."

Little Fatty is arrogant.

"I don't have any supporters in my family, and secondly, I don't have the power to gather power. If my sister and brother-in-law come, you have to avoid suspicion and can't entertain them. Then the prince is not doing anything interesting. Just let the prince decree to abolish it."

After saying that, he made a move to leave.

Li Xin and Xiao Jiu looked at each other and followed the fat man helplessly.

It was just the two of them who went, Li Xin ordered Mu Ying to take Yu Linwei to stay in the Garden, and no one left.

There is no other way. If you want to avoid suspicion, you can only pass over as a "quasi-brother-in-law", otherwise Li Xin's identity cannot be made with foreign vassal.

Frankly speaking, if this little fat man didn't look good, Li Xin would not be willing to bring Xiao Jiu there.

At noon, Li Xin and the nine princesses arrived at the Yueyang Palace. Frankly speaking, although this palace occupies a large area, it is not very delicate. It is worse than Li Xin's Jing'an Hou Palace. Yes, even the maids in the palace are still pretty.

The thing that shocked Li Xin the most was that there were four or five little dolls who could run down the ground, male and female, all gathered around the eldest princess and called her aunt.

made Xiao Jiu in a hurry.

At this moment, Li Xin was completely impressed by this little fat man.

In four years, he gave birth to five or six people who can run. It is conservatively estimated that there are at least five or six people who can't run. This little fat... is not easy.

If this goes on, there is the potential to become King Jing of Zhongshan...

When it was time to eat at noon, the little fat man was complacent.

"Xiao Jiu, for my brother, I have visited all the cooks around Yuezhou over the past few years, and I have invited so many chefs. If nothing else, the cuisine of my Yueyang Palace is definitely not inferior to that of the capital."

The two brothers and sisters have the same hobbies, so Xiao Jiu naturally nodded again and again.

Little Fatty, Little Fatty's Princess, Li Xin, and the Ninth Princess, there were four people at a table, and about twenty dishes were served.

Xiao Jiuqiang resisted the pain of illness and took a sip of each one.

"good."

This is the evaluation of the Nine Princesses.

These dishes are actually delicious, but in the minds of young people in their twenties, of course, junk food is more delicious.

The little fat man feasted, making his round belly even more round.

In the afternoon, the nine princesses no longer endured the idea of showing off in patience, took Li Xin's hand and said, "I want to eat fried chicken legs..."

“Want to eat kebabs…”

Li Xin rolled her eyes at her: "I'm sick and can't eat."

"But you can give it to mynah, he is so greedy, he will definitely give up on you after eating it."

Xiaojiu raised his eyebrows at Li Xin: "If you do it, make sure he will die."

"What are you doing to please him?"

Princess Qinghe was lying beside Li Xin's ear with a soft tone.

"Mynah, he is very powerful."

"His mother-in-law, Concubine Zhen, is the daughter of the Zhong family."

Li Xin was silent.

Nine Princesses continued: "The elder sister of the starling is my third sister, married to the second son of the Zhang family."

Zhang's house is Zhang Qu's house.

She said softly: "You told me before that you need to stand higher and go to Li Shen to settle the account. I remember it all."
