Unparalleled Concubine

Miss Xiaojiu rubbed her belly full of food, and said nonchalantly: "That's okay, people from Wei Palace can send me here,"

Li Xin blinked his eyes: "Then you can't run to me every day, we are both unmarried, and I am still an innocent young man, if word gets out, will we still get married in the future?"

Miss Xiao Jiu blushed, spat and said, "Bah, shameless."

Her face was flushed, she hurriedly stood up from the chair, and ran to the door of the room as if fleeing, then stopped, turned around, gritted her teeth and said: "Remember, send the method of this dime to Wei Wangfu!"

Li Xin looked at this foodie a little speechlessly.

I have used the defense of men and women to avoid taboos. Why is this girl not responding at all? Is she too simple, or is it because her foodie heart overcomes everything?

But to talk about it, when Miss Nine left, Li Xin went out to see her off. As soon as he reached the door, he saw a purple sedan chair parked at his door, and four burly bearers stood on the sedan chair. At the four corners, Miss Nine skipped onto the sedan chair, and then the sedan chair rose up and headed north.

No wonder this girl doesn't think it's a long way, someone really "sent" her here.

If there is no mistake, this sedan chair should be used by His Royal Highness King Wei to go out on weekdays.

In this way, the identity of the Ninth Miss is even more self-evident. She is at least the seventh prince's cousin, and may even be her own sister.

As for lovers, that's impossible. No man would tolerate his wife, Miss Jiu, sitting in her own sedan chair to visit another man.

Li Xin stood at the gate of his yard, watching the purple sedan chair go away.

Although his body is still a 15-year-old boy, his soul is an uncle in his early 30s. When encountering such a situation, Li Xin will naturally not think that he is favored by a beauty, let alone be dazzled , into the great love.

Even if this little nine girl really likes him, but the cold and ruthless fact is in front of him, he is still just a commoner, no matter if this little nine girl is the seventh prince's cousin or his own sister, Li Xin has no right to covet him, To put it bluntly, with Li Xin's current status, even if Miss Jiu is pregnant with his child, the final result is that Li Xin will be killed quietly, and the child will not be born.

This is the identity gap of this era.

This is the case in any era, except for the princess who married a commoner, and the prince who married Daming from a poor family.

The Zhu Ming Dynasty did this because there was an Emperor Taizu who was born in a Huaiyou commoner. This Huaiyou commoner also left behind a thick book of the emperor's ancestors, but the surname Ji of the royal family in the Jin Dynasty was the eighth surname in ancient times. One of them is the most authentic aristocratic background, it is impossible for them to allow the family blood to marry a commoner.

Although the current emperor of Chengde took the initiative to protect himself, but because he has any feelings for him, and because he wants to protect his reputation, if Miss Xiaojiu is really the princess of Emperor Chengde, he will rashly get close to Miss Jiu If the emperor of Chengde found out, he might scratch himself without hesitation.

Miss Xiaojiu is still young, but Li Xin is not young anymore.

After careful consideration, Li Xin took a deep breath and made a decision in his heart.

Stay away.

Thinking of this, Li Xin took a deep breath, turned around and walked into his yard.

In the room, the charcoal girl sat alone in the kitchen, continuing to make dumplings, and occasionally ran under the stove to fill some firewood.

Li Xin walked in, touched her head, and smiled softly: "Didn't you eat it, why are you still doing it?"

The little girl lowered her head and made the dumplings very seriously.

"I gave her all to eat just now, and my brother didn't eat much."

Li Xin laughed, sat down and made dumplings with the little girl.

While the two were busy in the kitchen, Miss Nine's sedan chair returned to Yongle Square. When passing by Prince Wei's mansion, Ms. Nine waved her hand and said softly, "Don't stop, go straight back to the palace."

Several bearers responded respectfully, and carried the little girl from the Nangong Gate all the way into the palace unimpeded. After entering the imperial city, in order to prevent assassins, the sedan chair with a roof could not be used. He carried the sedan chair and carried the little nine girls to the harem.

The little nine girls walked all the way to the door of Emperor Chengde's bedroom, and then she ran down from the sedan chair, and then she ran to the door of the bedroom in two or three steps, and smiled at the eunuch Chen Ju at the door of the bedroom: "Grandpa, Father is here!" What are you doing, are you free?"

Chen Ju, the eunuch of the inner guard, glanced at Miss Nine and smiled back: "So it's Princess Nine, and the master should be taking a nap at the moment. If you have anything to do, you might as well leave a message. When the master wakes up, Mr. I will pass it in for you."

Miss Xiaojiu is the ninth daughter of the Chengde Emperor, Ji Lingxiu!

With a smile on her face, the Ninth Princess said coquettishly: "It's nothing, it's just that the new year is coming soon, and I'll be 16 years old. I'm here to discuss with the emperor about where the princess's mansion will be..."

The royal family of the Jin Dynasty stipulated that when the princes and princesses reach the age of 16, they must leave the palace to open a mansion, but every prince must leave the palace to open a mansion, but not everyone is qualified to open a princess mansion.

Chapter 44

Generally speaking, the location of the prince's palace is usually in Yonglefang, because this place is the closest to the imperial city, and you can go back to the palace to "visit relatives" at any time, such as the Wei Palace of the Seventh Prince, and the third and fourth princes. The palaces are all in Yonglefang.

But the princess is different, because the place of Yonglefang is so big, and the people who live there are all dignitaries, even the royal family can't take other people's houses for no reason, so these princesses usually settle for the next best thing. Live in several workshops next to Yonglefang, such as Mingdefang, Liushufang and other places.

Although these places are a little farther away from the imperial city, they are also close to Yongle Square, which can be regarded as the "center" of the capital. The Princess Mansion of the Ji family is usually located in these two squares.

But there are also princesses who are more favored, and the princess mansion is built in Yonglefang.

The Ninth Princess of Jin Dynasty, Ji Lingxiu, is the younger sister of the Seventh Prince Ji Wen. She is about to turn 16 years old, and she is old enough to leave the palace. Emperor Chengde loved it.

Originally, according to the intention of the emperor of Chengde, he wanted to find a way to set up a princess mansion for her in Yongle Fang, but there is no free space in Yongle Fang, so it has not been settled yet. Her elder brother, the seventh prince, Ji Wen, was also helping her with the affairs of Princess Luo's mansion in Yonglefang.

It is also worth mentioning that the rankings of the royal princes and princesses are separated. The son of the Chengde emperor is prosperous, the seventh prince is the seventh son of the Chengde emperor, and Xiaojiu is the ninth daughter of the Chengde emperor.

After the Ninth Princess Ji Lingxiu waited outside the dormitory for half an hour, the gray-haired eunuch Chen Ju came out, bent down to her, and said respectfully: "Ninth Princess, master asked the old slave to take you in to face the saint. .”

The Great Jin Dynasty does not like masters and slaves. Anyone in the entire palace who sees the emperor of Chengde will call him His Majesty, but the eunuch Chen Ju, the chief eunuch of the inner guard, calls him master. In the entire imperial city, only He alone has this qualification.

Ji Lingxiu nodded to Chen Ju, and said softly, "Thank you, Grandpa."

After all, she followed behind the great eunuch and walked into the palace of Emperor Chengde.

In the imperial palace, there is a set of strict rules. It will never be like in TV dramas, where an adult princess rushes into the emperor's study at will and pulls the emperor's beard. When you see your father, you have to go through a communication.

In the sleeping hall, several stoves were blazing. The Emperor Chengde, who had just woken up from a nap, was wearing the emperor's uniform and was sitting on a soft couch, flipping through the memorials. Ji Lingxiu came in and bowed gracefully.

"My daughter has seen her father."

Emperor Chengde put down the memorial in his hand, and smiled at Princess Jiu: "Xiao Jiu is here, come sit and talk."

Ji Lingxiu nodded, and sat obediently in front of her father, not as arrogant as she was at Li Xin's house.

After she sat down, Emperor Chengde narrowed his eyes and said softly: "I heard from Chen Ju that you've been running outside the palace these days and living in Lao Qi's mansion?"

Ji Lingxiu nodded with a smile and said: "My daughter is leaving the palace soon, so I asked Brother Seven to help find a house, and I will simply live in Brother Seven's house these days. I have reported this to the palace, Father Don't blame your daughter."

According to the rules, princesses are not allowed to leave the palace if they are under the age, otherwise it is a violation of the rules, but the ninth princess, Ji Lingxiu, is about to turn sixteen. At this juncture, it is reasonable to go out and choose a princess mansion for herself.

The emperor of Chengde gave a soft "hmm" and said calmly: "You are a well-behaved man, and the emperor didn't blame you. A few days ago, he wanted to get you a house in Yonglefang, and the Zongfu also sent someone to remind you. , have not found a suitable one in Yonglefang, you are outside the palace these days, did Lao Qi find a suitable one for you?"

Ninth Princess shook her head, and said softly: "Yonglefang has been full for a long time, and they are all people with high officials and nobles. How can it be so easy to find a house? Brother Seven has visited several houses these days, and they all We didn't talk about it, what my daughter means is that the Princess Mansion is no longer in Yonglefang."

Imperial power has always been bounded, and it is impossible to do whatever it wants. Of course, the Emperor Chengde can personally come forward in this matter. As long as he says a word, someone will give up the house in Yonglefang for his daughter to live in, but this kind of thing will lose people's hearts. , can't be done easily, or a princess is not worthy of him to do so.

Emperor Chengde smiled softly, and said: "It's fine if there is no room in Yongle Square. There should be room in Mingde and Liushu Square for you to open a mansion. It will be Chinese New Year soon. Tomorrow I will go to the Zong Mansion in person. A letter, let them hurry up."

Ji Lingxiu said softly: "Father, Mingdefang and Liushufang are also places where every inch of land is expensive. Building a princess mansion will inevitably waste people and money. My daughter means that it will be more biased. This will save my father a lot of money."

Emperor Chengde laughed dumbly: "Since when did Xiao Jiu think about me so much?"
