After Li Ke set off from Jinyang, he did not dare to delay any delay and headed straight for Chang'an. Due to heavy snow in Hedong, the Hedong area was difficult to travel all the way. Li Ke's journey was a little slower. When Li Ke arrived in Chang'an it was December 1st.

Although Li Ke returned to Beijing this time because Li Yuan was critically ill, Li Ke was in the royal family, as a prince, and a border commander with military power. His identity was the most sensitive. Although Li Shimin trusted him and would not think too much, he would have been used to write articles in the future. Therefore, before Li Ke even entered the Ganlu Hall of Tai Chi Palace and first met Li Shimin.

When Li Ke rushed to Ganlu Hall in a row, the dynasty was over, and the prince Li Chengqian, King of Wei Li Tai, King of Yan Li You and other slightly older princes were following Li Shimin's back in the hall.

"Your Majesty, the King of Chu has arrived. Now I am looking for a visit outside the hall." Li Shimin and several princes were talking about the affairs of the Supreme Emperor Li Yuan, and an internal official entered the hall and told Li Shimin.

"Come on." Li Shimin quickly gave orders to the inner officials.

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

Li Ke followed the inner servant into the hall, walked into the hall, leaned over to Li Shimin, who was sitting in the middle and said, "My son, Li Ke, pays homage to his father."

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

Li Shimin looked at Li Ke with a bright armor, tall figure, and star-like sword-eyed eyes. He liked Li Ke more and more, and smiled at Li Ke and said, "My general of Zhenbei is here, get up quickly."

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

Li Shimin looked at Li Ke standing still behind him, and hurriedly pointed to the side of the hall, next to Li Chengqian's brocade stool, and said to Li Ke: "I'm standing at home, I'm very busy sitting there, and I'm still waiting for outsiders to greet you."

"Thank you, Father." Li Ke smiled, and then sat next to Li Chengqian as he said.

First, Li Ke has not returned home for a long time, second, Li Ke is very favored by Li Shimin. Second, Li Ke has long been defeated in Hedong, and this time it is a triumphant. Therefore, Li Shimin treated Li Ke more kindly and valued than others.

The scene in front of him fell into the eyes of other princes, especially those who were ambitious about the throne, and they couldn't help but feel aroused.

Li Shimin ordered Li Ke to sit next to the prince, which was closer than his second son Li Tai. The trust in Li Ke's preference for Li Ke is self-evident.

But they can only be jealous. They have sparse martial arts skills and ask themselves that they do not have the ability to lead troops out of the frontier and make contributions. Even Li Ke's body, which was specially forged by military weapons, may not be able to wear freely.

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

Li Ke replied truthfully: "My son has just returned to Chang'an, but has not yet gone to Da'an Palace. As a border general, I returned to the capital on my father's order. I should first pay my respects to my father and submit an order to my father."

Li Shimin nodded and said, "This is okay. There is no hurry to submit the order. You can talk about it tomorrow. Your grandfather is seriously ill in bed. You can also visit Da'an Palace first, but your clothes need to be changed. Your grandfather is old, no more than you young men. You can't stand these murderous auras. You can first change your clothes and then visit Da'an Palace to avoid rushing to your grandfather."

Li Ke replied: "Thank you for your father's advice. If it weren't for your father's instructions, your son would have done something wrong and would have made his grandfather unhappy."

Li Shimin waved his hand and smiled at Li Ke and said, "This is okay. Ke'er just worry, with your princess here, your grandfather can't blame you."

Li Ke heard Li Shimin suddenly mention Wu Meiniang, and just thought that Wu Meiniang had done something, and asked in confusion: "I don't know what my father wants?"

Li Shimin replied: "Since your grandfather was ill in bed, his temper became more and more elusive. Ordinary people were scolded in close proximity, which made it difficult for me to do. Fortunately, the Princess Chu was smart and charming, and could please your grandfather. She was able to enter the palace to accompany your grandfather, which was a lot more relaxed, and it was also a blessing for me."

Although Wu Meiniang is young, she is so smart. Naturally, Li Ke doesn't need to teach Li Ke too much about dealing with people. Wu Meiniang is even much better than Li Ke, so that people can't make mistakes. In addition, Wu Meiniang is the daughter of a warrior. After the old minister, Li Yuan naturally likes her.

Li Ke said: "My son-in-law got a daughter in his later years, and his age was similar to his grandfather. Mei Niang has been in the mansion since she was a child. She also knows how to get along with the elders and be the most liked by the elders."

Li Shimin said to Li Ke: "You have a good princess. It seems that my marriage imperial edict was quite good, and I chose a good wife for Ke'er."

Dear princes and princes, if you only have a family, Wu Meiniang is not a daughter of aristocratic family, but Wu Meiniang is the worst. In just half a year when Li Ke was not in Chang'an, he could open up all the joints inside and outside the palace. It is really not easy for many people who are willing to say "good" to her.

Li Ke heard this and said, "It is my father who loves you and I worry about my sons."

Li Ke stayed in Ganlu Palace for a while, and briefly explained the current military and political affairs of Hedong with Li Shimin. He then returned to his house to change his clothes first according to Li Shimin's order.

But just as Li Ke left the palace gate of Tai Chi Palace and was about to go to Yankangfang, he saw a carriage on his house outside the palace gate.

The Chu Palace is smart and quick in the capital. How could they not know that his Alang came home? Li Ke looked at the carriage in front of him and just thought that the mansion came to greet him. He came forward and wanted to get on the carriage. However, after Li Ke got on the carriage, he found that Wu Meiniang was also in the carriage.

"Sanlang is here, but he is not wrong." Li Ke boarded the carriage, and Wu Meiniang saw Li Ke, stepped forward and held Li Ke's arm intimately and said to Li Ke.

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

Wu Meiniang said, "My grandfather gave special instructions to ask Meiniang to visit Da'an Palace after she returned to the capital. Meiniang was worried that after her highness left the palace, she went directly to Da'an Palace and misled her grandfather's explanation, so she waited outside the palace."

Li Ke asked, "What did grandfather meant that he suddenly wanted me to see him with you?"

Wu Meiniang replied: "Grandfather never said it clearly, but just listened to his grandfather's words. He seemed to have something to explain to you and me."

Li Ke heard Wu Meiniang's words and smiled: "I heard what my father said in the palace. Grandfather seemed to love you very much among the people. I didn't expect that my princess would have such ability to coax her grandfather."

Wu Meiniang said: "Grandfather treated Meiniang a little differently. It was mostly because of her father. Her father was a grandfather's old general. She has followed her grandfather for many years, so her grandfather naturally regarded Meiniang as closer."

Li Ke waved his hand and said, "Mei Niang is just one of the old ministers. In addition, this is also your ability. If you are close to your grandfather, who can compare with the Duke of Wei, Pei Ji, who had a close relationship with his grandfather back then. Although Pei Ji's daughter married to the Sixth Princess, Princess Jing is quite obedient in her behavior, and her grandfather doesn't like Princess Jing very much."
