Chapter 23 Jealousy
These days, Hou Junji has not had a good life, and Li Chengqian has not had a good life, but Li Ke's life has become more comfortable.
Li Ke was appointed as the General of the Right Guard. Although he could stay in Chang'an under the order of Li Shimin, he would have to go to the Right Guard's Office to be on duty every day. If Li Ke did not go for a day, there would be a censor's participation.
In the past, Li Ke did this, not spend a day, but the Right Guard has become used to the days without him as a general, and there is no major matter to ask Li Ke to make any decisions. Li Ke either handles some minor matters or makes a pot of tea in the yamen. It is really boring to sit for a day.
But today is different. Princess Li Mingda of Jinyang came to Li Ke's mansion. Li Ke found an excuse and took a leave of absence. He was resting in the King of Chu's mansion. There was a shield of Little Shizi on the left and right, so Li Ke was not afraid of Li Shimin's blame.
Before the night was over, Li Ke was practicing arrows in the lieutenant school field, but Princess Wu Meiniang walked in angrily.
"Sanlang, what do you mean?" Wu Meiniang walked to Li Ke and suddenly asked.
Li Ke is practicing arrows. When Li Ke walked out of Wu Meiniang's room earlier, he was still fine. Why did he suddenly change his face after just one stick of incense?
Li Ke was also stunned, and then asked in confusion: "What is Mei Niang meant? But where did I do it badly?"
Wu Meiniang asked back, "Don't you know what good things Sanlang did? "
Seeing this, Li Ke shook his head and said, "I don't know why, but wasn't it okay this morning? Why did I suddenly change my side face?"
Li Ke's tone was straightforward and puzzled, and he had no sign of guilt at all. Looking at Li Ke's appearance, Wu Meiniang felt aggrieved suddenly.
Wu Meiniang lowered her head, and the anger on her face was no longer there, but instead she looked a little more pity for pear blossoms and rain, which made people feel pity.
Wu Meiniang had two more tears on her cheeks. She raised her head and said to Li Ke: "Do Sanlang think Meiniang is jealous and fierce?"
Li Ke heard this and hurriedly denied: "Mei Niang is the most gentle and charming person, and she was once a genius of a shrew."
Wu Meiniang asked again: "Sanlang is tired of Meiniang, have he loved anything else?"
Li Ke shook his head like a rattle and said to Wu Meiniang: "Mei Niang is the person on my heart. I feel it is hard to bear to miss you for a day. How could I get bored?"
Li Ke's words seemed to make Wu Meiniang feel much better. Wu Meiniang took out the Juanpao from her sleeve, gently wiped away the tears from the corners of her eyes, and said to Li Ke: "Since that's the case, why did Sanlang do such a thing? If Sanlang doesn't like Meiniang, just say it. I will take the Yaner back to her parents' home for a few days and make room for the newcomers. But why did Sanlang do this without telling me?"
When Wu Meiniang said this, Li Ke seemed to understand something. Could it be that Wu Meiniang knew about him outside? Although Li Ke was known as a romantic, he was actually very honest outside. Even if there was a Xiao Yuexian, Wu Meiniang knew about it.
However, Li Kexiang is known as a romantic person, and maybe some rumors have been spread recently, asking Wu Meiniang to take it seriously.
Li Ke asked, "What kind of rumors did Mei Niang listen to?"
Wu Meiniang said, "There are no more rumors. Everyone has been sent to the mansion. Meiniang asked herself that she is not a fierce person. If Sanlang wants to take a concubine, he will just say it. Why do you have to wait for someone to come to force me?"
Li Ke may have been a little confused before, but after Wu Meiniang said this, Li Ke immediately understood that what Wu Meiniang said was mostly the two Gaochang beauties that Hou Junji had plundered from Gaochang.
As Hou Junji said, the two beauties did not need to eat and only drank human milk, so naturally they had white skin as white as snow. No wonder Wu Meiniang got angry when she saw it.
Li Ke never cared about these two people. He told Hou Junji yesterday that they had forgotten it, but Li Ke didn't take it seriously. Hou Junji took it as the top priority and ordered someone to send the beauty in the morning.
Li Ke asked, "What Mei Niang said refers to the person sent by Hou Junji to the mansion?"
Wu Meiniang listened to Li Ke's words and said, "Sure enough", Li Ke still knew about this, but I think so. If Li Ke did not agree, how dare anyone else put people in the Chu Palace at will?
Wu Meiniang replied: "It was the person sent from Duke Chen's mansion. The two women were young. Their birthplace was as frost as snow, and they were as white as jade. Even Meiniang felt ashamed of her when she saw it."
Although Wu Meiniang's words were a bit exaggerated, they were not all false words. Just in terms of appearance, Wu Meiniang is already stunning. These two Gaochang women may not be as good as her, but these two women must be extremely fair-skinned. Although Wu Meiniang is also fair, she is afraid she cannot compare to them.
This is how women are, especially beautiful women. Anyone who is slightly inferior to other women in terms of appearance will be infinitely magnified by themselves.
Li Ke asked, "Where are these two people now?"
Wu Meiniang bit her lip and replied, "These two are waiting in the hall now. If Sanlang can't wait, go quickly. The beds in the inner courtyards on both sides have not been cleaned yet. I will clean them up together when Sanlang enjoys his fun. It's not a cup of tea, but half a cup of tea is enough."
Li Ke is a smart person. Wu Meiniang's words meant that it was black and white, which made Li Ke unable to be inferior. How could Li Ke not know that Wu Meiniang's heart had already made the jealousy to the extreme.
At this time, Li Ke would not be curious about these two women anymore, and wanted to see how innocent they were. After all, Wu Meiniang is not a good man. If he really went there, he would be afraid that the Chu Palace would be in trouble today.
Li Ke hurriedly said, "What did Mei Niang say? Why is this kind of person for husband? Hou Junji wanted to worship our King of Chu's family, so he sent a beauties to please me. But Mei Niang is already there, so how could he get in love with these vulgar fans?"
Li Ke's words were very direct, as if he didn't take the two of them in his eyes, as if these two were forced to him by Hou Junji.
Wu Meiniang asked, "So, these two people are not Sanlang's coming?"
Li Ke replied with confidence: "I have never seen these two people before, what do I want them to do?"
Wu Meiniang looked at Li Ke’s appearance as if she was fake. She probably believed Li Ke’s words in her heart and said to Li Ke: “Since these two people were not attracted by Sanlang, it would be easy to deal with. Just transfer them directly.”
Li Ke heard this and asked curiously: "Who do Mei Niang want to give to?"
Wu Meiniang said: "Xi Junmai has been with His Highness for many years, and has been through life and death. She is still unmarried and has no women to take care of her. These two people cannot marry Xi Junmai as wives, but this look is more than enough to be a concubine."
Wu Meiniang has such delicate thoughts. These two men are very good-looking. It is hard for men to be moved when they see them. Although Li Ke is not concerned about these two people at the moment, who knows if they will have other thoughts if they have been in the future.
Instead of leaving these two hidden dangers in the mansion, it is better to directly give it to Li Ke’s beloved general Xi Jun to buy it. This not only wins people’s hearts but also cuts off Li Ke’s thoughts. Li Ke will never compete with his confidant general in any case.
Li Ke nodded and agreed: "That's good, so let's order someone to send them to Jun Bu Mansion."
After Li Ke finished speaking, he explained to the people in the mansion and ordered people to send the two women to the mansion bought by Xi Jun.
After arranging the two women, Wu Meiniang finally let go of her worries and a smile appeared on her face. However, Li Ke, who was standing beside her, looked a little proud when she looked at Wu Meiniang, but her cheeks still had tears, and she felt very cute, and she couldn't help but move her index finger.
Li Ke put down the bow and arrow in his hand, walked to Wu Meiniang, and carried Wu Meiniang on his shoulders and walked towards the inner courtyard.
"What is Sanlang doing?" Li Ke's actions suddenly, Wu Meiniang couldn't react in time, so she was carried on her shoulder by Li Ke, and while kicking her legs, she said to Li Ke.
Li Ke is a martial artist. How solid is the lower plate? How could Wu Meiniang escape? Li Ke is careful to carry Wu Meiniang, for fear that she will fall.
Li Ke patted Wu Meiniang's butt, and then smiled and said, "The beds in the left and right rooms have not been cleaned yet. I will ask you to see how good I am. Is it only possible to have that cup of tea?"
