Chapter 21 Proposal

Just now, most of the time in the Wu Mansion, Concubine Yang was talking to Wu Meiniang, and Li Ke rarely spoke. Until Li Ke followed Concubine Yang out of the Wu Mansion, he was still a little puzzled.

"My grandma, why are you so intimate with the Wu family in the mansion just now?" Although Li Ke saw what Yang Fei meant, he still didn't know why Yang Fei was like this. As soon as Li Ke set out on the road, he asked Yang Fei.

Concubine Yang smiled and replied, "Of course we are discussing marriage for you. You are at the age of getting married. Your Majesty has mentioned it to your mother more than once, so naturally he has to make some plans early."

Li Ke continued, "Why is Wu Meiniang?"

Concubine Yang replied: "Before meeting Mei Niang, my mother originally loved the girl from the Xiao family in Lanling, but since you like this Wu girl, you should do it according to your wishes."

In Yang Fei's opinion, Li Ke must be interested in Wu Meiniang, and Wu Meiniang is excellent in both appearance and character, so Yang Fei will not stop him.

However, after hearing Yang Fei's words, Li Ke said, "How can my mother see that her son likes the Wu girl?"

Concubine Yang smiled and said, "You don't like someone else, so why do you call Mei Niang?"

The reason why Li Ke called Mei Niang was that Li Ke was private in his heart, how could he say it to others? Li Ke was a little distracted by Yang Fei's question. He paused and said, "This is just a misunderstanding, and he has no intention."

Concubine Yang looked surprised and asked, "Do you don't like this Wu girl?"

When Li Ke was asked this, he suddenly became a little silent. He didn't know what his attitude towards Wu Meiniang was.

In terms of appearance, Wu Meiniang is naturally not to be chosen. Even if Li Ke has seen countless people, he has to admit that Wu Meiniang is a rare beauty;

In terms of character, Wu Meiniang is dignified, quiet and generous, and is even more life-saving. In this regard, Li Ke definitely can't say that he doesn't like her;

In terms of talent, Wu Meiniang was smart and skillful since childhood. Although she was a little shallow, this was also due to her youth. If she really cared about it, Wu Meiniang could stir up the world with a woman and finally ascend the throne, even Li Ke would not be able to compare with her.

Li Ke rode on the horse and was not in a hurry to answer Yang Fei's words, but after thinking about it for a long time, he couldn't find a reason why he didn't like Wu Meiniang. The only one who could explain was that Li Ke himself was afraid of her.

When Li Ke thought of this, he couldn't help but feel funny. The dignified King of Chu, the commander-in-chief in charge, was afraid of a little girl who was still young, and all this came from what had not happened in Li Ke's memory.

Li Ke did not answer Yang Fei's words, but asked back: "What do you think Ah Mom?"

Li Ke chose Concubine unusually. Concubine Yang thought for a moment before saying to Li Ke: "My son, I am Prince Gan Wei. The daughter of the Xiao family comes from a famous family and is well-behaved and skilled, so it is better. But if my son has other ambitions, Mei Niang is definitely not an ordinary woman. She can be said to be a helper in the inner house and should be a good match."

Concubine Yang has experienced the royal families of the Sui and Tang dynasties and has been used to seeing too many intrigues and intrigues. She can reach this point today and has her own ability to know people.

Concubine Yang may not know where Wu Meiniang is, but in her feelings, Wu Meiniang is definitely not an ordinary woman. Concubine Yang met her several times. At this age, Concubine Yang had never seen a woman who was as decent and agile as Wu Meiniang. What would she look like if she grew up in the future?

The path Li Ke is going to take is different from others, with thorns everywhere. With such a mistress in the mansion, Li Ke does not have to take care of the matter behind him. This is a great help to Li Ke, which no one else can give to Li Ke.

When Concubine Yang's words came to Li Ke's ears, Li Ke's face became solemn. Li Ke was definitely not disliked Wu Meiniang, and even had a good impression of her. Li Ke didn't like or feared him, but Emperor Zetian, who was now the sun and moon that was flying in the sky decades later, and the women were in charge of the world and slaughtering the Li Tang royal family like straw dogs.

But at the moment, Wu Meiniang is far from the cruel and ruthless Wu Zetian. She is just a young lady who is only 11 years old. It would be too early for Li Ke to worry about these things.

What's more, these are definitely not the issues that Li Ke should consider now. If Li Ke was not an emperor, the Tang Dynasty would have no place to live, and he would not even have his life to protect, so he would worry about what he did. Li Ke was not Li Zhi, who was weak in nature. He went north to serve as a charity since he was a child and had been in the army for a long time. Could it be that he could not even hold such a young lady with the honor of a prince?

Concubine Yang looked at Li Ke's appearance, which was very different from his previous decisiveness. She just thought that he was worried about the Xiao family that had been mentioned to Mrs. Xiao, so she said, "If my son is worried about the Xiao family, there is no need. Mrs. Xiao has a deep relationship with her mother, so she can go and talk about it. This matter was originally a private talk with Mrs. Xiao and Mrs. Xiao, but it has not been put on the table yet. Mrs. Xiao is reasonable and I believe she will not be surprised."

Li Ke nodded when he heard this and replied to Concubine Yang: "My mother is too worried, but my son is not worried about the Xiao family."

Li Ke was kind to the Xiao family, and the Chu Prince's Mansion and the Lanling Xiao family were even more interested in the interests. Since Xiao Yu submitted a memorial to Li Ke, the Xiao family has been tied to him. As Yang Fei said, even if Li Ke did not marry the daughter of the Xiao family, the Lanling Xiao family could still be used by him.

But the Xiao family is like this, but Wu Meiniang is not like this. If Li Ke does not marry Wu Meiniang today, he will humiliate her today. The relationship between him and Wu Meiniang will be broken and he will even turn against him. In the future, whether she enters the palace or marrys another person, she will be Li Ke’s opponent. If such an opponent stares at her, I’m afraid Li Ke will be unable to sleep or eat.

Although Li Ke nodded, the discomfort on Li Ke's face still fell into Yang Fei's eyes, and Yang Fei became more and more confused.

What Li Ke is not concerned about in the Xiao family, but what can it be?

In the past, Li Ke was still able to deal with the monarch and ministers in the palace. Even in the ninth year of Wude, when the Turkic soldiers knocked on the Wei River, Li Ke never hesitated so much today. How could Li Ke be so embarrassed when facing a girl who was only eleven years old?

Concubine Yang didn't know what Li Ke was thinking, and she didn't know what Li Ke was thinking about. After thinking about it, she seemed to remember something again, so she asked: "My son is so embarrassed, but because of the Turkic princess?"

After hearing Yang Fei's words, Li Ke was slightly stunned, and the grassland woman like a cloud suddenly appeared in his mind. Speaking carefully, Li Ke and him had not seen each other for some days, and Li Ke did not forget her, but Li Ke was so embarrassed today, it was indeed not related to her.

Li Ke said: "It's not because of Ayun. Ayun is far away from the south of the desert, thousands of miles apart. Unless the son goes north to guard the border, it will be difficult for him to meet in this life."

After hearing this, Concubine Yang let go and said, "Ke'er, you choose the road yourself. The road you want to take is different from others. You can know it yourself."

Concubine Yang's words were exactly what Li Ke was in the current situation. If Li Ke wanted to be an emperor, his marriage was never broken up based on his own preferences. He had to take too many things into consideration. The Chu Palace, the inner court, the aristocratic family, the court, the military, and all parties wanted him to weigh the pros and cons, but he could not make a decision and did not dare to act rashly.

Li Ke thought for a moment and finally said, "What Ah Niang said is that Mei Niang is beautiful and smart, and she naturally likes it. This time she has to bother her to make peace for her."
