In the court, you can't understand anything else. One thing you must understand is to know how to advance and retreat. You should take the initiative when you should advance. When you should not advance, you should take a few steps back without hesitation.

For example, the current Pingnan Marquis Mansion and the big-character poster incident in the capital city, the Pingnan Marquis Mansion would have been implicated in any case, and the minimum salary was also required. Although the Pingnan Marquis Mansion did not care about that little money, as long as the official punishment was released, the face of the Pingnan Marquis Mansion would be gone.

However, the emperor had an old age with the Li family and was unwilling to make things difficult for the Pingnan Marquis Mansion, so he only asked Dong Cheng to secretly go to the Pingnan Marquis Mansion and scolded Mrs. Yu. There was no official punishment at all. Instead, the Jingzhao Yin Li Ye was in trouble and fell from the third rank to the fourth rank for no reason.

This is the difference between closeness and alienation in the imperial era. Sometimes what you do is not important, what matters is your identity.

After Dong Cheng left the Pingnan Marquis Mansion, the gate of the Pingnan Marquis Mansion was closed and announced that he would close the door to thank the guests from today. The bad luck of Jingzhao Yin was not only demoted, but also continued to work in Jingzhao Mansion in a miserable way. It was a tragic thing on earth.

Just when Dong Cheng returned to the palace to report his life, the seventh young master wearing an ordinary cotton suit personally carried a lamb leg and knocked on the gate of the small courtyard where Li Xin was.

Li Xin opened the courtyard gate and bowed to the mysterious Seventh Master: "I have met Seventh Master."

The seventh young master looked at the lamb leg in his hand to Li Xin, and then said with a smile: "The barbecue I ate here last time was very refreshing. I specially asked someone to get a sheep from the grassland. I just killed it. I will grill some skewers for me to try later."

Li Xin looked at the seventh son of the royal family speechlessly.

Are these guys so full that they have nothing to do? They came to find them for a few skewers of lamb skewers?

However, he had no way to refuse the seventh young master. After all, the wealth and life of their "family three" is still based on the seventh young master. He was under the roof and had to bow his head.

A moment later, another pile of charcoal fire was lit up, and several mutton skewers were placed on the fire rack and grilled back and forth. While handing the grilled mutton skewers to the Qi Gongzi, Li Xin asked tentatively: "Young Master Qi Gongzi is here to find him... is it for this?"

The seventh young master took a bite of the mutton skewers and chewed them while saying, "It's mainly for this, and I'm telling you that your affairs are settled. The Jingzhao Mansion will probably cancel your wanted notice tomorrow, and the people from Tianmujian will not arrest you anymore. You don't have to hide in the yard every day."

Li Xin stood up and bowed to the Seventh Master and said, "I'm here, thank you Seventh Master."

Over the past few days, Li Xin carefully recalled this matter and finally found that he was really too impulsive. Not to mention anything else, his big-character poster suspected of "smearing the emperor" would be enough to be beheaded more than a dozen times. If it weren't for this seventh young master, even if the emperor did not cause trouble for him, the people from Jingzhao Mansion would probably not let him go.

Fortunately, this time, the seventh young master who came from somewhere helped Li Xin to clear the siege.

The seventh young master said with a smile: "Don't be so polite. This matter is mainly because you know how to do it yourself. Only after you write that poem can I follow the trend, otherwise I will not be able to confront Jingzhao Mansion head-on."

Li Xin sat next to the charcoal fire again and continued to grill the lamb skewers. After a long time, he looked up and asked, "Young Master Qi did this... it will not be without purpose after all. Can you ask the Seventh Master Qi's purpose?"

The seventh young master threw the bamboo stick in his hand aside and said lightly: "These things are useless to tell you now. You just need to remember that you owe me a huge favor. If I ask you for help in the future and you can help you, don't just refuse to admit it."

Li Xin fell silent.

He had guessed some of the purpose of this seventh prince. The seventh prince's surname is Ji, so there is a high probability that he is one of the princes today. If he wants to ascend the throne smoothly, he must obtain as much support as possible, and the Pingnan Marquis Mansion is a good target to win over.

Because the Pingnan Marquis’ Mansion is not only of high status and power, but also has... military power in the hands of Pingnan Marquis’s hands!

Thinking of this, Li Xin suddenly spoke and asked in a daze: "The Seventh Master... has a bad relationship with Li Chun?"

Li Chun is the youngest son of the Marquis of Pingnan and the cheapest brother of Li Xin.

The seventh young master was stunned for a moment, looked at Li Xin in surprise, then smiled relievedly, and said softly: "You can't say it's not good, you can only say it's not familiar with it."

The seventh young master hesitated for a while and then spoke.

"Li Chun is very close to one of my brothers."

Having said that, the Seventh Master had almost admitted his identity as a prince. Li Xin handed over a skewer of grilled meat skewers and said, "Seventh Master, I want to explain something to you clearly. I have said it before. I will never have any connection with the Pingnan Marquis Mansion in this life. If the Seventh Master wants to use it to influence or control the Pingnan Marquis Mansion, then the Seventh Master... doesn't have to waste your energy."

The seventh young master threw an empty bamboo stick aside, wiped his mouth with a silk trouser, and then smiled: "What a smart Li Erlang, you can guess so many things through just a few words."

"Don't worry, this young master's charity has never been mandatory. No one can tell what the future will be. If you can help me in the future, you can help me. If you can't help, you will be overwhelmed. I won't blame you for anything."

Speaking of this, the seventh young master laughed and said, "But you are so smart that even if you don't enter the Marquis of Pingnan, you may be able to have your own career."

Li Xin stuffed a skewer of grilled meat into his mouth, and then whispered: "Don't worry, Seventh Master, I am a person with a good memory. Today, Seventh Master, remember the kindness of Seventh Master, and I will definitely repay Seventh Master if I have the chance in the future."

The seventh young master narrowed his eyes and said, "Let's not talk about the future. I have something you can now, and I want you to help."

"Seventh Master, please tell me."

The seventh young master pointed to the fire in front of him, squinted his eyes and said, "Your barbecue kebab method must be written down and handed over to me. If you will not be able to see you for a while, I will take the method home and let the servants at home learn."

After hearing this, Li Xin paused and said, "Seventh Master... Why can't you meet me?"

"Oh, I forgot to tell you."

The seventh young master smiled and said, "From tomorrow, the inner guards in the palace will send someone to protect you. With them here, I will not be able to show up, so that your majesty will know that this matter is the one who is the pusher in the middle, but it will be difficult to end. Therefore, I will not come to see you again during this period of time in the future."

Li Xin nodded, went back to the house to write down the specific process and ingredients of the mutton skewers on a piece of paper, and then handed them to the Qi Gongzi.

The seventh young master took the piece of paper, carefully put it into his sleeve, and then chuckled softly at Li Xin, "The young master is going back now. If you have any urgent matters, go to Deyilou to find Jiuniang. She has a way to contact me."

Li Xin bowed to him.
