Cheng Chumo walked out of the hall and saw Zhangsun Wugou and the others not too far along the corridor.
For a moment, he was a little nervous and anxious, not knowing how to tell Li Ke the news.
"Ke 'er, it seems that the Cheng family's young duke is looking for you.”Zhangsun Wugou also noticed the hesitant Cheng Chumo standing in front of him and smiled at Li Ke.
Li Ke bowed slightly.”
"Go ahead."
" Your Highness, this is a trap..." After Li Ke approached, Cheng Chumo whispered the news from Zhangsun Chong to Li Ke as quickly as possible.
As Zhangsun Wugou approached, he bowed and said,""Cheng Chumo greets the consorts."
"Today's banquet is for the monarch and his subjects to enjoy, so there's no need for too much etiquette.”Zhangsun Wugou casually raised his hand.
Li Ke joined the crowd and continued to walk forward.
"Chang 'an is full of troubles. Mother, can you persuade Father to let your son go to the fief after the new year?”Li Ke suddenly shrugged helplessly and smiled bitterly." You see, your son just wants to quietly stay among you women and listen to you talk. This is not enough. It's too annoying."”
Cheng Chumo and the noblewoman behind him felt a chill run down their spines.
The other Imperial Concubines also had different expressions.
Imperial Concubine Yin's lips curled into a cold smile.
There were no fools here. On the contrary, they were all smart people.
The right and wrong in Li Ke's mouth, whether it was referring to today's right and wrong, or as a prince's right and wrong, hinted at the Empress, everyone understood.
As for Empress Zhangsun Wugou, although she was Li Chengqian's mother, she gave Li Ke a good impression.
Therefore, he didn't mind expressing his true thoughts in a more obscure manner.
Yang Ruyi was a little nervous as she secretly looked at Zhangsun Wugou. She was worried about her son's reckless actions.
"Ke 'er really doesn't want to be filial by your father's side and has the heart to leave your mother alone in Chang' an? Once you become a vassal, it won't be easy to come back. Your father doesn't want you to become a vassal early and leave him. After a few years, my mother advised him to let you go. Now, you should listen to your father's arrangements and don't make him angry.”Zhangsun Wugou persuaded gently.
Li Ke couldn't help but feel depressed.
He did not understand. If he stayed in Chang 'an, he would have more and more conflicts with the Crown Prince and the King of Wei.
Wasn't Empress Shi Shangxian worried at all?
Zhangsun Wugou looked at Li Ke's silence and smiled.""Don't think too much at such a young age. Although the other princes are not mother's children, if you address me as mother, mother will treat you as her own children. Just like how Ke 'er sympathized with mother's illness in winter and installed a heater in mother's palace. This is a treatment that even your father does not have.”
As he spoke, he held Li Ke's hand from behind, as if he was holding his own child, very natural and easygoing.
Li Ke was very awkward for a moment.
It was not that he had any other thoughts, but he felt that it was a little unnatural as an adult.
It was like being treated like a child by a mother after growing up.
When the people following behind saw this, they could not help but be secretly surprised.
The love and care that His Highness King Wu received was simply too great!
The other imperial concubines looked at Li Ke enviously, then at Yang Ruyi.
"The Empress has arrived!"
Wang De's sharp voice sounded as he approached the main hall's entrance. Li Ke wanted to break free, but in the end, he could not bear to reject Zhangsun Wugou's good intentions.
Just like that, Zhangsun Wugou held his hand and led him into the main hall under the gazes of hundreds of pairs of eyes.
A look of surprise flashed across Li Chengqian's face. He turned his head and asked his uncle with his eyes.
Zhangsun Wuji furrowed his brows and stared at his sister. At this moment, it was rare for him to not be able to guess what his sister was thinking.
The King of Wei, Li Tai, looked at Li Ke with jealousy. He felt wronged and said angrily in his heart, Mother, who is your real son?
"The Guanyin maid is here." Li Shiming had already gotten up from his seat and walked over to Zhangsun Wugou with a smile. He glared at the bastard son beside his wife.
Li Ke was also annoyed. Stare at me, try staring at me again.
Not only did he look straight at Li Shiming, but he also deliberately raised his hand, which was held by Zhangsun Wugou, and shook it. He blinked his eyes, and his face was filled with pride.
Li Shi Min didn't know whether to laugh or cry when he saw this.
In the eyes of outsiders, it was even more shocking.
Because they saw that Empress Zhangsun had a very natural and gentle smile on her face from the beginning to the end, as if she was not angry at Wu Wang's actions at all.
* Cough cough *
Li Shi Min felt that he couldn't let this little bastard continue to be arrogant. He cleared his throat and said to Li Ke seriously," Ke 'er, Tubo Zampu Songzan Gambo admires your literary talent and is interested in learning from you. You must answer seriously. If you lose the face of the Tang Empire, my father will not let you off easily. My father also knows that your literary talent is outstanding. After all, your works have been popular in Chang' an.”
F * ck! Swindling his son!
Li Ke cursed in his heart and bowed to Zhangsun Wugou for help."Your son requests mother to make the decision. It's fine if the Tubo people pick on the soft ones, but as a father, Imperial Father is digging a hole for your son. Your son is lacking in talent and knowledge, so I can't take on this heavy responsibility.”
"Royal brother, you are too humble." Before Zhangsun Wugou and Li Shiming could speak, Li Tai couldn't suppress the jealousy and anger in his heart.
" Everyone in Chang 'an knows that you are talented," he said solemnly." You must not be humble and belittle yourself."”
"Tubo Zanpu wants to consult his brother on the way of literature. Literature is etiquette, and the corresponding one is the wilderness and barbarians. Why don't we use the barbarians as a starting point?”Li Tai turned to look at Songzan Gambo with a smile.
His fat face smiled, and his eyes narrowed into slits.
Anger flashed across Songzan Gambo's face.
He didn't know about the infighting between the princes of the Great Tang. He only felt that Li Tai was insulting the Tibetans!
Zhangsun Wugou and Li Shiming couldn't help but frown slightly, but they didn't say anything.
Li Chengqian smiled and exchanged glances with Zhangsun Wuji.
Li Tai had already done everything that others could do, successfully angering the Tibetan Zanpu.
Next, it would not be easy for Li Ke to deal with it.
"Your Highness, please!" Songzan Gambo's face was cold, and his tone was stiff as he made an inviting gesture.
