Chapter 11 Serving Tea

Before noon, in the north of Chang'an City, Tai Chi Palace.

The Zhaoqing Hall where Concubine Yang is located belongs to the inner courtyard and lives in the harem. Li Ke and Wu Meiniang head from the north of the King of Chu's mansion, take the nearest road, and enter the palace from Jiayoumen.

Jiayou Gate is located in the southwest corner of the inner palace, which is the west gate of the inner palace. It is very vigilant here, so ordinary foreign ministers are naturally not allowed to enter and exit. However, Li Ke is the prince and Li Shimin's special order, so the imperial guards guarding outside Jiayou Gate will naturally not stop him.

After passing Jiayou Gate, you will enter the inner palace. Jiayou Gate is not far from Zhaoqing Hall. You only need to pass the Qianbu Lobby of the adjacent city gates, pass the Caisiyuan and Ziwei Hall, and then you will arrive at Zhaoqing Hall.

"Son Li Ke and his bride Mei Niang pay homage to his father, mother, and mother, and gave tea to his father, and mother." In the side hall of Zhaoqing Hall, Li Shimin and Concubine Yang were sitting on the upper head, Li Ke and Wu Mei Niang stood in His Highness, holding the tea bowl in both hands, leaning over to worship.

Li Shimin looked at the King of Chu who was standing side by side with His Highness, smiled, took the tea bowl from Li Ke's hand, raised his hand and said, "Get up quickly, Mei Niang will get up quickly, too."

"Thank you, Father." Li Ke and Wu Meiniang responded and stood up.

After Li Ke got up, Concubine Yang, who was sitting next to him, took the tea bowl presented by Wu Meiniang, took a sip, and chuckled at Li Shimin and reminded: "Your Majesty, Ke'er is already married, and it would be inappropriate to call her nickname again."

Because Li Shimin favored Li Ke, he often called him "Tiger Head" whether in private or in the court. Li Ke was young and had not been married before, so it would be okay for Li Shimin to call Li Ke's nickname, but now that Li Ke is married, he is old. If Li Shimin calls him nickname again, it would be a bit inappropriate to others.

"good."

Li Shimin also put down the tea bowl in his hand and nodded, "What the imperial concubine said is very true. After Ke'er gets married, she will no longer be a young man. I should be careful when I call her in front of others in the future."

Li Ke replied, "The father is serious. Even if the son is married, he is still the son of the father. It is also necessary for the father to call his son a nickname."

Wu Meiniang, who was standing beside Li Ke, saw this and said, "Mei Niang was born in Wenshui, Bingzhou. There is a local saying in Wenshui, which is called: 'The son is only six, and the father is fifty-nine'. The meaning of this is to say that the father calls his son intimacy. Even if he calls him fifty-nine, it will be fine as long as he is only sixty-nine. What's more, Your Majesty is the lord of the country, and he acts cheaply, so he can have no taboos."

After hearing Wu Meiniang's words, Li Shimin smiled and said, "Ke'er is young, but she is only sixteen. It will take 44 years to wait until he reaches 60 years old. Is that a big deal? Is it a big deal?"

"The emperor's words are wrong." Li Shimin's words fell, and Wu Meiniang actually corrected Li Shimin's words seriously.

Wu Meiniang is smart and charming, and she will never say nonsense that ignores the seniority and inferiority of the elders and the inferiority of the elders. Therefore, although Wu Meiniang rejected Li Shimin's words in person, Li Ke was not worried at all. He knew better than anyone else that Wu Meiniang was the most wise man, and was definitely not a person who could speak without restraint.

Sure enough, as Li Ke thought, Wu Meiniang said to Li Shimin: "The father had only been governing the country for eight years, but he was peaceful in the country, and the four barbarians surrendered, and he was known as the "Tian Khan". He could be said to be virtuous and virtuous, and his merits and demerits in Han Wu, and he had accomplished the unsuccessful cause of the previous kings.

All the heroes in the world must be protected by God. Emperor Wu of Han still had seventy years of life, and his father was born in the army and his achievements were even greater. He would not be weaker in his governing country. After forty-four years, his father would still be able to sit here and visit his great-grandson of the Chu royal family to get married."

Li Ke replied: "If I know about this, the ceremony of returning to Ning has been prepared. But please rest assured."
