Chapter Twelve Jin King Li Zhi

Li Shimin is in a good mood today, so he kept Li Ke and Wu Meiniang for dinner at Zhaoqing Hall before leaving. It was already afternoon when Wu Meiniang and Li Ke left Zhaoqing Hall.

On the palace road in Tai Chi Palace, Li Ke was wearing a black waisted, narrow-sleeved brocade dress, and a moon-white gauze robe. Wu Meiniang was wearing a light blue water-sleeved cloud skirt with a green silk dress, and walked side by side with Li Ke. In addition, the two were handsome and beautiful. At first glance, anyone would sigh, "A handsome man, a beautiful woman, a beautiful girl, a golden boy."

"A very capable little girl, she just spoke a few words to please her father. It's really not easy." Li Ke walked out of the palace and joked to Wu Meiniang beside her.

Wu Meiniang heard Li Ke's words and turned her head to look at Li Ke, asking in confusion: "Does the father rarely laugh on weekdays?"

Li Ke nodded and replied, "Father has always been strict, especially in front of our older princes. I am so happy to see my father in person."

Wu Meiniang said, "Your Majesty is a strict father, and he also has high expectations for Sambang, the crown prince, and the older prince of the King of Wei, so it is inevitable that he is a little stricter. Meiniang is the daughter-in-law of the Li family and married a prince who is very favored by his father. If you love the house and the underworld, you will naturally be much gentler."

Li Ke said: "Although that is the case, your ability to speak into the heart of your father and bring such comfort to your father is also your ability. Others may not be able to do so."

Compared with Princess Wei, Yan Wan, daughter of Yan Lide, the qualifying crown princess, and Su Xiao, daughter of Su Ya. Although Wu Meiniang is not a daughter of aristocratic family, she married Li Ke and could not bring Li Ke those obvious family forces, but Wu Meiniang is good at means and cunning, and can see the overall situation. This is something that Yan Wan and Su Xiao, aristocratic daughters, cannot do. The benefits she can bring to Li Ke are by no means comparable to others.

In Li Ke's eyes, Wu Meiniang is so important that even the legitimate daughters of five surnames are not as good as that of a person. Moreover, Wu Meiniang treats Li Ke with great affection, so Li Ke treats Meiniang even more like a treasure in his palm and takes care of her even more.

Wu Meiniang smiled and said, "Sanlang said this, Meiniang just pretended that Saburo was praising me."

Li Ke looked at Wu Meiniang's smug look, stopped, and pampered Wu Meiniang's delicate cheeks, and smiled and said, "Madam, I'm really praising you."

Wu Meiniang stood in front of Li Ke, bent her knees slightly, and joked: "That little girl thanks Your Highness for praise."

Wu Meiniang was young and although she was a little scheming and scheming in front of others, she put down her burdens and started playing with Li Ke.

Li Ke and Wu Meiniang were in love at the moment of love. The two of them jokingly walked out of the palace and unconsciously arrived at the Caisiyuan, which was not far from Jiayoumen.

In late summer and early autumn, the climate was much cooler than before. Because the Color Silk Courtyard was next to the inner palace, young princesses often played here.

As soon as Li Ke passed by the Colorful Silk Courtyard, a child in gorgeous clothes came forward with an older maid. Li Ke looked up and saw that the child was Li Zhi, the King of Jin.

"I'm paying homage to the emperor brother and sister-in-law." Li Zhi walked to Li Ke and leaned over and bowed to worship.

"Zhinu is here, get up quickly." Li Ke bent down and helped Li Zhi up and said.

Wu Meiniang didn't recognize Li Zhi's appearance, but suddenly she looked at a child who bowed in front of her. When she heard him call Li Ke, she called him a royal brother, and when Li Ke called him a child, she also guessed the identity of the child in front of her and asked Li Ke: "Sanlang, is this little Lang the King of Jin?"

Li Ke said to Wu Meiniang: "No, it's the ninth brother, Li Zhi, King of Jin."

Wu Meiniang looked down at Li Zhi and smiled and said, "The King of Jin's lips and teeth are red, and the rawness looks really beautiful, as if it was carved from white jade."

Li Zhi was good at the deep palace and rarely saw others. In addition, he was shy and had a very thin face. After Wu Meiniang praised him, he looked shy and lowered his head.

Li Zhi lowered his head and said shyly: "The emperor's wife gave birth to beautiful women. I have never seen such beautiful women as the emperor's wife."

Wu Meiniang didn't expect Li Zhi to say this. She was stunned for a moment, and then replied: "The King of Jin praised me. I am just like Pu Liu. I am lucky enough to marry Your Highness. How can I compare with the beauties in the palace?"

Li Zhi touched his ear and said, "The emperor's sister-in-law is the wife of the third brother, and she is also better than the younger brother. The emperor's sister-in-law called the younger brother, King Jin, would have ruined the younger brother. The emperor's sister-in-law could just call her younger brother Li Zhi or call her ninth brother."

Li Ke looked at Li Zhi's appearance, patted Li Zhi's shoulder gently, and smiled and said, "Why are you doing something for your brother at a young age? If you call your real name, you will be a little bit out of the way. In the future, Mei Niang will follow me and just call me a Zhinu."

Li Ke easily fought with Li Chengqian and Li Tai, but he was not very harmonious, but he got quite close to Princess Changle Li Lizhi and Li Zhi, Li Mingda and sisters. Even the nickname of Princess Jinyang Li Mingda was given by Li Ke.

After hearing Li Ke's words, Li Zhi suddenly became depressed. Li Zhi said to Li Ke: "Brother, I am no longer a child. It is not good to always change my nickname in front of others."

Li Ke looked at Li Zhi's appearance and smiled and said, "How old are you? Even my father is still calling me a nickname when he is rising, let alone you. Why? Is it impossible to call me a brother?"

Li Zhi replied a little aggrievedly: "The emperor's brother is older than me and takes good care of me and Xiao Yizi. It's okay for the emperor and his sister-in-law to call me a nickname, but the emperor's brother doesn't know that Gao Yang always learns from the emperor's brother and uses the emperor's brother to suppress me. He often calls me nicknames in front of others, and deliberately takes them to big. It's really annoying."

After hearing Li Zhi's words, Li Ke understood Li Zhi's "wrongedness".

Li Ke's sister, Princess Gaoyang, Li Fangling, is the same age as Li Zhi. Both were born in the second year of Zhenguan, but Gaoyang was born in May, and Li Zhi was born in June. Gaoyang was a little longer than Li Zhi. However, because of this month, Gaoyang often took it in front of Li Zhi. He regarded his sister as his nickname, and it was even more common to call Li Zhi's nickname.

Li Ke asked in confusion: "Why are you different from her fighting?"

Li Zhi paused and replied truthfully: "How can Gao Yang's third son not know how I can be an opponent?"

Li Zhi is weak and has a bit of a cowardly temperament. Although Gao Yang is young, he is a bit stingy. Relying on Li Shimin's favor and a little unreasonable, how can Li Zhi be his opponent?

Li Ke smiled and said, "I know that Gao Yang has always been arrogant. I never thought that Zhinu was bullied so much. It would be difficult for you. Don't worry, Zhinu will see Gao Yang for you when he meets Gao Yang for his brother the next day."

When Li Zhi heard this, a light flashed in his eyes and asked, "Can this be done?"

Li Ke said: "It's okay, Gao Yang has a very stubborn temper. As my brother, I often don't live in Chang'an. I can't say he is. Now that I have returned to Beijing, I will be a little discipline."
