Chapter 400 The King of Jin Li Zhi
Li Shimin was in a good mood today, and left Li Ke and Wu Meiniang after dinner in Zhaoqing Hall. It was already noon when Wu Meiniang and Li Ke left Zhaoqing Hall.

On the palace road in the Taiji Palace, Li Ke is wearing a black brocade dress with narrow waist and narrow sleeves, covered with a moon-white gauze robe, and Wu Meiniang is wearing a light blue skirt with water sleeves and a green shawl around her shoulders, walking side by side with Li Ke, In addition, the two of them were born handsome and beautiful. At first glance, anyone would sigh that they are talented and beautiful, beautiful girls and golden boys.

"What a capable lady, it's really not easy to coax the emperor to please you with only a few words just after entering the palace." Li Ke joked to Wu Meiniang beside him on the way out of the palace.

Wu Meiniang heard Li Kezhi's words, turned her head to look at Li Ke, and asked puzzledly: "Father rarely talks or laughs?"

Li Ke nodded and replied: "Father is always strict, especially in front of our older princes. This king rarely sees Father so happy in person."

Wu Meiniang said: "Your Majesty is a strict father, and he has high expectations for Sanlang, the Crown Prince, and the older princes of the King of Wei, so it is inevitable that he will be stricter. The prince who is loved by the father, loves the house as much as he loves, so he will naturally be much gentler."

Li Ke said: "Although this is the case, it is your ability to speak your words into the heart of the emperor and cause the emperor to be so relieved. I am afraid that others may not be able to do this."

Compared with Princess Wei, Yan Wan, the daughter of Yan Lide, and the quasi-princess concubine, Su Xiao, the daughter of Su Quan, although Wu Meiniang is not a daughter of a family, she married Li Ke, so she couldn't bring Li Ke the family power on the surface. , but Wu Meiniang is good at means and city government, and can see the overall situation. This is something that girls from aristocratic families like Yan Wan and Su Xiao can never do. The help she can bring to Li Ke is by no means comparable to others.

In Li Ke's eyes, Wu Meiniang is more important than even the first daughter of the five surnames.Moreover, Wu Meiniang treats Li Ke with great affection, so Li Ke treats Meiniang like a treasure in his palm, and takes extra care of her.

Wu Meiniang said with a smile: "Sanlang said so, Meiniang will think that Sanlang is praising me."

Li Ke looked at Wu Meiniang's smug look, stopped walking, pinched Wu Meiniang's delicate and fat cheeks pettingly, and said with a smile: "My lady has helped me a lot, so I'm naturally praising you."

Wu Meiniang stood in front of Li Ke, slightly bent her knees, and joked: "The little girl thanked His Highness for her praise here."

After all, Wu Meiniang was young, although she was a bit scheming and courteous in front of others, but on Li Ke's side, she put down the burden in her heart and started playing around with Li Ke again.

Li Ke and Wu Meiniang got married at the right time, they joked and walked out of the palace, and unknowingly arrived at Caisiyuan, which is not far from Jiayoumen.

At the end of summer and early autumn, the climate was much cooler than before. Because Caisi Courtyard was next to the inner palace, young princes and princesses often played here.

Li Ke had just passed outside Caisi Courtyard, when a child dressed in fine clothes came forward with an older maidservant, Li Ke raised his eyes and saw that the child was Jin Wang Li Zhi.

"Little brother pays respects to the emperor's brother and the emperor's wife." Li Zhi walked up to Li Ke and bowed down.

"The young slave is here, get up quickly." Li Ke bent down to help Li Zhi up, and said.

Wu Meiniang didn't know Li Zhi's appearance, but suddenly she saw a child worshiping in front of her, and heard him call Li Ke "Emperor Brother", and heard Li Ke call him a childish slave, so she also guessed the identity of the child in front of her. He asked Li Ke: "Sanlang, is this Xiaolang the King of Jin?"

Li Ke said to Wu Meiniang: "That's right, it's the ninth younger brother Jin Wang Li Zhi."

Wu Meiniang looked down at Li Zhi, and said with a smile, "Prince Jin has red lips and white teeth, and the birthplace is really beautiful, as if it was carved out of white jade."

Li Zhi grew up in the deep palace and rarely saw other people. In addition, he was shy and thin-skinned. After being praised by Wu Meiniang, he looked shy and lowered his head.

Li Zhi lowered his head, and said shyly: "Sister-in-law Huang is the one who looks good. There are so many women in the palace, I have never seen one as beautiful as sister-in-law Huang."

Wu Meiniang didn't expect Li Zhi to say that, she was taken aback for a moment, and then she replied: "Prince Jin is absurd, I'm nothing but the appearance of a willow, I'm lucky to be married to His Highness, how can I compare with the beauties in the palace."

Li Zhi rubbed his ear and said: "Sister-in-law Huang is the wife of the third brother, and she is older than younger brother. It would be frustrating for sister-in-law to call younger brother King Jin, but sister-in-law can just call younger brother Li Zhi or Ninth Brother. "

Li Ke looked at Li Zhi's appearance, patted Li Zhi's shoulder lightly, and said with a smile: "What are you doing in front of my elder brother at such a young age? If you call me by my real name, it will be a little strange. In the future, Meiniang will follow me. Together, just call the childish slave."

Li Ke competed with Li Chengqian and Li Tai, and they didn't get along very well, but they got quite close with Princess Li Lizhi of Changle, brothers and sisters Li Zhi and Li Mingda, and even Princess Jinyang Li Mingda's nickname was given by Li Ke. of.

After listening to Li Ke's words, Li Zhi became stunned. Li Zhi said to Li Ke, "Brother Huang, I'm no longer a child. It's not good to always change my baby name in front of people."

Li Ke looked at Li Zhi's appearance, and said with a smile: "How old are you, and your father still calls me by my baby name when he rises up, let alone you, what's the matter, is it possible that you can't call me a brother?"

Hearing this, Li Zhi replied with some grievances: "Brother Huang is older than me, and he takes care of me and my little son a lot. It's okay for Brother Huang and his sister-in-law to call me by my baby name, but Brother Huang doesn't know, and Gao Yang always learns from it." Brother Huang, use Brother Huang to oppress me, often call me by my baby name in front of people, deliberately use big, it is really annoying."

After listening to Li Zhi's words, Li Ke understood Li Zhi's "grievance".

Li Ke's sister, Princess Gaoyang, Li Fangling and Li Zhi were both born in the second year of Zhenguan, but Gao Yang was born in May, and Li Zhi was born in June. Gao Yang was a month older than Li Zhi, but because of this month, Gao Yang So she often took the big in front of Li Zhi, and she regarded herself as her sister, and calling Li Zhi by his baby name was even more commonplace.

Li Ke asked in bewilderment: "Why don't you fight with her?"

Li Zhi paused, and replied truthfully: "Gao Yang's temperament is not known to the third son, how can the younger brother be an opponent."

Li Zhi is weak and cowardly, while Gao Yang is young, but he is a bit aggressive, relying on Li Shimin's favor and unreasonable, how can Li Zhi be his opponent.

Li Ke said with a smile: "Gao Yang has always been domineering, I know it, I never thought that the young slave would be bullied by him like this, it's hard for you, young slave don't worry, when my brother meets Gao Yang in the future, I will definitely make the decision for you."

Hearing this, Li Zhi's eyes flashed a gleam, and he asked, "Can this be done?"

Li Ke said: "It's okay, Gao Yang's temper is very stubborn. As an elder brother, I am often away from Chang'an, so I can't say anything about him. Now that I have returned to Beijing, I should discipline him."

Li Zhi cupped his hands solemnly and said: "In this way, Brother Lao Huang."
