Chapter 450
After Li Ke set off from Jinyang, he didn't dare to delay at all, and went straight to Chang'an. Due to the heavy snow in the east of the river, it was difficult to travel along the border of the east of the river. Li Ke's footsteps were a little slower. When Li Ke arrived in Chang'an It's December [-]st.

Li Ke's return to Beijing this time is because of Li Yuan's critical illness, but Li Ke is in the royal family, as a prince, and as a military commander, his identity is the most sensitive. It was used to make a fuss, so Li Ke entered the Ganlu Hall of Taiji Palace first before he even entered the house, and first paid a visit to Li Shimin.

When Li Ke hurried all the way to Ganlu Hall, it was just after the end of the imperial court. Prince Li Chengqian, King Wei Li Tai, King Yan Li You and other older princes were following Li Shimin in the hall.

"Your Majesty, the King of Chu has arrived, and now I am asking to see you outside the palace." Li Shimin and several princes were talking about the Supreme Emperor Li Yuan, when an eunuch entered the palace and said to Li Shimin.

"Quickly pass it on." Li Shimin hastily ordered the eunuch to go on.

"No." The eunuch took the order and went down to lead Li Ke into the palace.

Li Ke followed the eunuchs into the hall, walked up to the hall, bowed down to Li Shimin who was sitting in the middle and said: "My son, Li Ke, pays homage to the emperor."

In the past few days, because of Li Yuan's body, Li Shimin's heart has been quite gloomy, and there is rarely a smile on his face. Only today, after seeing his beloved son Li Ke, whom he hadn't seen for nearly half a year, a smile finally appeared on his face.

Li Shimin looked at Li Ke, who was dressed in bright armor, tall and straight, with sword eyebrows and starry eyes, and liked Li Ke more and more. He smiled at Li Ke and said, "My Great General Zhenbei is here, get up quickly."

"Thank you, father." Li Ke thanked him and stood up.

Li Shimin saw that Li Ke was still standing after getting up, and hurriedly pointed to the side of the hall, next to Li Chengqian's brocade stool, and said to Li Ke: "What are you doing standing there in your own home? Sit down quickly and wait for outsiders to greet you."

"Thank you, father." Li Ke smiled, and then sat down beside Li Chengqian as he said.

Firstly, Li Ke has not returned from abroad for a long time, secondly, Li Ke is already extremely favored by Li Shimin, thirdly, Li Ke has already defeated the enemy in Hedong, and this time is considered a triumph, so Li Shimin always treats Li Ke more than others A little bit of kindness and attention.

The scene in front of him fell into the eyes of other princes, especially those princes who still had ambitions for the throne, and their eyes became warm.

Li Shimin ordered Li Ke to sit next to the prince, who was even closer to his second son Li Tai, and his preference for Li Ke was self-evident.

But they can only be jealous, their martial arts skills are sparse, and they think they don't have the ability to lead troops out of the fortress and kill generals for meritorious service. Even the bright light armor specially forged by the military supervisor on Li Ke's body, they may not be able to wear it freely.

Li Shimin asked Li Ke: "Ke'er has just arrived in Beijing, but has he ever been to Da'an Palace?"

Li Ke replied truthfully: "I have just returned to Chang'an, and I haven't had time to go to Da'an Palace. As a frontier general, I have returned to Beijing on the order of my father. I will pay my respects to my father and give my order to my father."

Li Shimin nodded and said: "It's all right, there is no rush to deliver the decree, you can talk about it tomorrow, your grandfather is seriously ill in bed, you can also visit Da'an Palace first, but you have to change your clothes, you Grandpa is getting old, no more than you young men, he can't see these murderous spirits, you can go back to your normal clothes first, and then go to Da'an Palace to visit, so as not to offend your grandfather."

Li Ke replied: "Thank you for your advice, my father, if not for my father's instructions, my son would have almost done something wrong and offended my grandfather."

Li Shimin waved his hand and said with a smile to Li Ke: "It's okay, Ke'er just rest assured, with your princess around, your grandfather can't blame you."

Li Ke heard Li Shimin mention Wu Meiniang suddenly, and thought it was Wu Meiniang who had done something, and asked in puzzlement, "I don't know what the emperor means?"

Li Shimin replied: "Ever since your grandfather was ill in bed, his temper has become more and more elusive. Ordinary people will inevitably be scolded when they get close to him, which makes it difficult for me to do it. But fortunately, Princess Chu is very smart and can please you." Grandfather is happy, she can enter the palace to accompany your grandfather from time to time, it can be regarded as a lot of relief, and it can be regarded as a help to Zhen."

Although Wu Meiniang is young, she is so shrewd. Naturally, Li Ke doesn't need to teach her how to deal with people. Wu Meiniang is even better than Li Ke, so people can't make mistakes. In addition, Wu Meiniang is the daughter of a warrior Yi. It looks natural and pleasing to the eye.

Li Kedao: "My son's father-in-law got a daughter in his later years, and his age is also similar to his grandfather's. Meiniang has been in the mansion since she was a child. She also knows how to get along with the elders, and the elders like her the most."

Li Shimin said to Li Ke: "You have a good concubine, it seems that the imperial decree of granting marriage was not bad at the beginning, and I chose a good wife for Ke'er."

Princes and concubines, if you only talk about background, Wu Meiniang is the only one who is not a daughter of aristocratic family, and the background is the worst, but it is Wu Meiniang who can open up all the joints inside and outside the palace during the short half a year when Li Ke is not in Chang'an. There are many people who are willing to say "good" to her, and it is really not easy.

Li Ke heard the words and said, "It's the father who loves me and worries about my son and minister."

Li Ke stayed in Ganlu Hall for a while, and briefly explained the current Hedong military administration with Li Shimin, and then went back to the mansion to change clothes according to Li Shimin's order.

But just as Li Ke left the gate of Taiji Palace and was about to go to Yankangfang, he saw the carriage of his own family outside the gate of the palace.

The Prince of Chu's mansion was already sharp in the capital. How could they not know when Alang came home? After getting into the carriage, it turned out that Wu Meiniang was also in the carriage.

"Sanlang is here, so I didn't miss it." Li Ke boarded the carriage, Wu Meiniang saw Li Ke, stepped forward to support Li Ke's arm affectionately, and said to Li Ke.

Li Ke looked at Wu Meiniang, and asked in surprise: "Meiniang is not staying in the mansion, why is she here?"

Wu Meiniang said: "Grandfather specially ordered Meiniang to go to Da'an Palace to meet His Highness after His Royal Highness returned to Beijing. Meiniang was worried that His Highness would go directly to Da'an Palace after leaving the palace and missed grandfather's instructions, so she waited outside the palace."

Li Ke asked: "What is the meaning of grandfather, why did you suddenly ask me to go with you to see him?"

Wu Meiniang replied: "Grandfather didn't say it clearly, but just listened to what Grandfather said. It seems that he has something to explain to you and me."

Li Ke heard what Wu Meiniang said, and said with a smile: "I heard what my father said in the palace. Among all the people, my grandfather seems to be the only one who loves you very much. I didn't expect that my king's concubine has such ability to coax you Stay with grandfather."

Wu Meiniang said: "Grandpa treats Meiniang differently, most of it is because of Father, who is an old general of grandfather, who has followed grandfather for many years, grandfather naturally treats Meiniang closer."

Li Ke waved his hand and said: "Meiniang is only one of the former ministers, and this is also your ability. If you talk about being close to your grandfather, who can compare to Wei Guogong Pei Ji, who was inseparable with your grandfather back then. Although Pei Ji's daughter married Uncle Six, but Concubine Jing's behavior is quite perverse, so grandfather doesn't like to see Concubine Jing very much."

As soon as the two met, Li Ke praised Wu Meiniang a lot, which actually made Wu Meiniang blush and shy, Wu Meiniang said: "Sanlang is not in Beijing, what Meiniang did is nothing more than a matter of duty, let's hurry up. But don't make grandfather wait for a long time."
