Chapter 353
In terms of Zhao Deyan's current situation, Li Ke vaguely felt that his words were not false, but out of instinctive caution, Li Ke didn't give Zhao Deyan too much promise, he dealt with him first, and then let him go.

After Zhao Deyan left, Li Ke ordered someone to take a carriage, and he and Wu Meiniang left the teahouse together.

"Sanlang, who is that man just now? Sanlang seems to be quite afraid of him." Just now when Li Ke and Zhao Deyan were discussing matters, Wu Meiniang stayed in the tea room for a long time. Just as Wu Meiniang and Li Ke got into the carriage, Wu Meiniang asked Li Ke curiously.

Zhao Deyan's identity was sensitive, and Li Ke contacted him, no matter what the purpose or result was, it was finally inconvenient for others to know about it. Li Ke smiled and replied, "It's not that I'm jealous, but it's just an old friend of my king when he was in the Turks."

Regarding Li Ke's words, Wu Meiniang naturally had doubts in her heart. With Li Ke's identity, if he was just an ordinary old friend, why did he ask him to be so cautious and bring him to his own teahouse before discussing the matter at ease?
Although Wu Meiniang was puzzled, she was inconvenient to ask further, she just asked calmly, "Are there any Han people in Turkic?"

Li Ke replied: "That's natural. At the end of the Sui Dynasty, there was civil strife in the Central Plains, and the Turks once overtook the Central Plains. At that time, there were many talented people in the Central Plains who had nowhere to reimburse them. There were also Turks from Beitou. This gentleman is one of them."

"So that's how it is." Wu Meiniang understood the severity and knew how to advance and retreat. She could see that Li Ke didn't want to talk about this matter, so she also responded, and didn't ask any more questions.

In front of Li Ke, Wu Meiniang was very well-behaved. Li Ke looked at Wu Meiniang, then at the lantern that Wu Meiniang had been carrying, and now placed beside her, and asked with a smile: "Just now, my king was delayed because of this matter." After a while, Meiniang had a good time playing today, if not, I will accompany you around again."

Wu Meiniang replied: "No need, Sanlang went to the Lantern Festival with Meiniang today, and got the lantern with Sanlang's inscription. I had a good time. Besides, it's not too early. If Meiniang doesn't go back, I'm afraid my father will go to the Lantern Festival." You should be worried too."

It is now the end of the Xu Dynasty, and it is almost the time of the Hai Dynasty. Today is the Shangyuan Festival, and the whole city celebrates it together. Although there is no curfew, there is no danger for Wu Meiniang and Li Ke to be together, but after all, they are not yet married. There is something wrong with being too late.

Li Ke nodded and said: "That's fine, I will send you back to the mansion first."

Wu Meiniang thanked, "So there will be Lao Sanlang."

"It doesn't matter." Li Ke waved his hand, then gave instructions to the Wangfu Wei who was driving, and went to Wufu.

Li Ke returned to Wufu from the tea house, and continued to walk north along the Tianjie. Although it was late, the Tianjie was still very lively. They are in groups, not empty, and the carriages are not fast.

Just when Li Ke and Wu Meiniang were sitting in a carriage and were about to turn from Tianjie to Fenglefang, they heard a burst of cheers outside the carriage.

Hearing the cheers suddenly sounded outside the car, Wu Meiniang quickly lifted the curtain of the car, and looked out in the direction of the sound. What caught her eyes were Kongming lanterns flying from the ground on the street.

These Kongming lanterns are of different sizes. If you count roughly, there may not be as many as a hundred of them. Each of them is shining like a spark, flying into the air from the hands of the people, blending with the stars in the sky, illuminating the Chang'an city under the night. .

Wu Meiniang looked at the sky lantern gradually rising outside, smiled and said to Li Ke: "Sanlang, this is a sky lantern, so beautiful."

Li Ke looked at Wu Meiniang's excited look, and asked Wu Meiniang in surprise: "This is a sky lantern, has Meiniang never seen it before?"

Wu Meiniang replied: "Meiniang once mentioned by her father that every Mid-Autumn Festival and Shangyuan Festival, people in Chang'an City will release sky lanterns. In the past, Meiniang only watched it from a distance when she was in Chang'an Mansion, and never saw it with her own eyes. Pass."

Li Kedao: "Sky lanterns are also known as Kongming lanterns. They were created by Zhuge Liang, the prime minister of the Shu Han Dynasty. At first they were mostly used by the military, but they were first used by the people after the end of the Jin Dynasty. Every festival in Chang'an City, people gather on the Tianjie Street to pray for blessings in the coming year." The house is safe and the yearly harvest is bumper."

Wu Meiniang heard the words, and asked curiously: "Is there such a saying as putting out lanterns to pray for blessings?"

Li Ke nodded and replied: "The theory of putting up lanterns to pray for blessings was introduced to Chang'an from the middle of Sichuan. It is rumored that praying to the sky lanterns will make your wishes come true."

Wu Meiniang said with a smile: "If there is such a thing, then Meiniang will try it too."

After Wu Meiniang finished speaking, she closed her eyes slightly, put her hands together in front of her chest, her face was full of piousness, her lips and teeth moved slightly, and she started to mutter silently in her heart, as if she had made some wish in her heart just as Li Ke said.

After a while, after Wu Meiniang finished reading in her mind, she slowly put down her hand and opened her eyes.

"What wish did Meiniang make?" Li Ke looked at Wu Meiniang's serious face and asked.

Wu Meiniang smiled and replied: "Meiniang's wish is too big, maybe she is a little greedy."

After hearing Wu Meiniang's words, Li Ke became more and more curious, and then asked, "Oh? I wonder if I can tell you about it?"

Wu Meiniang replied truthfully: "Meiniang wishes that Your Highness will be healthy and that everything will go smoothly, that your aspirations will be rewarded as soon as possible, and that you can show your ambitions."

Li Ke didn't expect Wu Meiniang to say that, if it was an ordinary little girl, praying and making wishes would mostly be a daughter's affair, but when Wu Meiniang spoke, it was a state affair.

But Wu Meiniang's words are not bad, her wish is indeed a bit bigger, Li Kezhi is in the world, and wants to seize the throne, if Li Ke's ambition is rewarded, he will naturally ascend the throne and proclaim himself emperor, Wu Meiniang made such a wish, naturally it is not small .

Li Ke said with a smile: "Meiniang also believes in these things? If this wish comes true, it will be a major event for the family and the country. I am afraid that this small sky lantern will bear the weight of the world."

Wu Meiniang stared into Li Ke's eyes, and replied firmly: "Your Highness is a hero in this world. As long as His Highness is willing, there is nothing in this world that His Highness cannot do."

After listening to Wu Meiniang's words, Li Ke was still slightly taken aback. Among Li Shimin's disciples, although Li Ke was the most famous, he was still a concubine after all. Not many people in the world really liked Li Ke, but Li Ke Unexpectedly, Wu Meiniang could say it with such certainty, as if in her heart, this was a matter of convention, and her lover was the best person in the world.

Under the moonlight, this was the first time that Li Ke really and carefully looked at the woman who was about to become his wife. Undoubtedly, Wu Meiniang was extremely beautiful, as beautiful as a jade, impeccable, but this was far from all, The most rare thing about Wu Meiniang is the gleam in her eyes when Wu Meiniang looks at Li Ke, which makes people feel that in Wu Meiniang's eyes, Li Ke is her sun.

Li Ke didn't know, even Wu Meiniang herself didn't know. I don't know when Wu Meiniang's heart had been tightly tied to Li Ke's body, and she began to care about everything about Li Ke, as if she had become one.

Li Ke looked at the pretty person in front of him, and he began to realize that this was not someone else, not Wu Zetian, nor the empress, but his wife, the woman who was about to accompany him through life and death.

At this moment, the noise outside was still loud, but Li Ke's heart was quiet. Everyone in this world has ambitions, including Wu Meiniang and Li Ke. Li Ke's ambitions are even more arrogant and presumptuous, but Wu Meiniang is willing to Accompanying him, standing behind him, trusting him, then why does he have no reason to reject others?
Li Ke's eyes were like water, and he stared at Wu Meiniang closely for a long time without knowing it. After a while, even Wu Meiniang, who was always generous, turned red with embarrassment.

"Sanlang." Wu Meiniang's face was already red to the ears, she lowered her head, and said softly to Li Ke.

Seeing Wu Meiniang's shy expression with her head lowered, Li Ke also came to his senses.

The daughter's shyness is the most expressive. Li Ke looked at the beautiful scene in front of him, his heart moved, and he lowered his head, leaning against Wu Meiniang's ear and temple, and immediately his nose was full of the intoxicating daughter's fragrance.
