Chapter 320
Evening, Chang'an, Daming Palace.

Li Ke was ordered to return to Beijing. When he hurried back to Chang'an, the first place he went to was not Chu Palace, but Taiji Palace.

In the evening, in the cold twilight, the pale golden rays of light fell from the sky and spread flat on the ground of Taiji Palace, as if covering the already gorgeous palace city with a layer of luxurious veil, which made people look at it, and felt so surprised in their hearts. Can't help but be fascinated by it.

Li Ke entered the palace from Tianmen Gate, passed through Taiji Hall, Liangyi Hall, passed through Ganlu Gate, and then went straight to Ganlu Hall.

"Slaves pay homage to Your Highness."

Although Li Ke hadn't been in Chang'an for a while, the servants in the palace naturally still remembered his face clearly. As soon as Li Ke arrived outside the Ganlu Hall, the servants standing outside the door paid homage to Li Ke.

Li Ke said: "Please trouble the inner eunuch to report to the emperor, and Li Ke asks to see you."

The servant smiled and said: "Your Highness is not an outsider, why should you be so rigid? Your Majesty has already ordered you to just go in when your Highness arrives. Your Majesty and the imperial concubine have been waiting for Your Highness for a long time."

Li Ke asked: "The mother and concubine are also in the palace?"

The waiter said: "Your Majesty knows that His Highness is entering the palace today, so in the afternoon, he passed on the noble concubine, King Liang, and Princess Gaoyang."

Li Ke nodded with a smile and said, "That's fine, I'll let the internal supervisor lead the way."

After finishing speaking, Li Ke straightened his robes, followed the servant into the Ganlu Hall, and went straight to the inner hall.

When Li Ke arrived at the inner hall, he looked up, and sure enough, Concubine Yang, Li Min, and Gao Yang were in the hall, while Li Shimin was sitting on the brocade floor teasing little Gao Yang.

"My son, Li Ke, pay respects to my father and mother." Li Ke walked into the inner hall and bowed to Li Shimin and Concubine Yang.

Hearing Li Ke's voice, Li Shimin raised his eyes and looked up. The eager Li Shimin saw Li Ke standing in front of him with an unconcealable smile on his face. He put down Gao Yang in his arms, looked at Li Ke, He laughed excitedly and said: "Hutou is back, I haven't seen him for a while, my son has grown taller again, in a few years, I'm afraid he will catch up with being a father."

Li Ke said with a smile: "Father was joking. My son is only in the year of aspiring to learn. I'm afraid it's too early if he wants to go to Father."

Li Shimin patted Li Ke on the shoulder and said, "You, you just act too squarely, and you're used to it. This place is a family, and there are no outsiders. What do you call my father, daddy?"

Li Ke heard the words, smiled, and replied: "Yes, Dad."

Concubine Yang on the side was also eager to love her son, and she was overjoyed seeing Li Ke standing in front of her eyes, and said to Li Shimin: "Hutou has been away for a long time, and he is used to the rules, and he hasn't changed it for a while. Just stay in China for a few more days, and it will be fine."

Li Shimin nodded and said: "What Ruyi said is also true. Hutou is used to governing the army and appeases one side. He must be used to the majesty. It may be that he can't get used to it for a while."

Concubine Yang said: "Didn't Your Majesty order the Shangshi Bureau to prepare dinner? Hutou must be hungry after traveling for days, why not just sit down and talk about it over dinner."

Li Shimin said: "That's fine, our family can chat while eating."

As Li Shimin said, he ordered Chang Tu who was beside him to pass on the dinner.

Although Li Shimin is an emperor, he is sitting in the world, but he has always been used to simplicity, and his dinner is quite simple. The staple food is red bean porridge, served with five or six stacks of side dishes, and the table is full, and several people gather around the table And sit.

Li Shimin sat in the main seat, Concubine Yang in the second seat, Li Ke sat next to Li Shimin, and Li Min sat next to Concubine Yang, but when they were waiting to arrange Princess Gaoyang Li Fangling, Gao Yang made a fuss .

"Aniang, I'm sitting on brother's lap." Gao Yang stood beside Li Ke's lap and said to Concubine Yang.

In the past when Gao Yang was eating, if Li Shimin was around, she would stick to Li Shimin, if Li Shimin was not around, she would stick to Concubine Yang, but today when Li Ke returned to Beijing, Gao Yang didn't care about anyone and insisted on sitting on Li Ke's lap superior.

Concubine Yang frowned and said: "You majestic princess, how can you play around like this?"

Gao Yang was smart and tight, he listened to Concubine Yang's words, and replied: "Father just said that we are a family in the palace today, there are not so many rules, just be casual, I want to sit in brother's seat There’s nothing you can’t do on your knees.”

After Gao Yang finished speaking, he looked in Li Shimin's direction.

The so-called no joke, even in private, since Li Shimin said it, of course he would not deny it, not to mention that Li Shimin was also amused by Gao Yang's cleverness.

Concubine Yang couldn't help laughing when she heard Gao Yang's serious reply, and said to Gao Yang: "You can sit on your elder brother's lap, it's fine for your elder brother to travel for a few days, and he is tired. You sit on his lap and tell your brother how to rest."

Although Gao Yang was headstrong, he also felt sorry for Li Ke. Li Ke was indeed returning to Chang'an after several days of rushing. Gao Yang was also worried that Li Ke was sleepy and tired, so he paused and looked up at Li Ke.

Gao Yang's appearance is really lovely, Gao Yang is the closest to Li Ke, and Li Ke loves this little girl even more, so there is nothing wrong with him, he smiled, hugged Gao Yang and sat on his lap .

Li Ke said to Gao Yang: "It's okay, brother is a martial arts practitioner, but it's only a few days' journey, and it won't be tiring for brother."

"Brother still loves Gao Yang the most." Gao Yang said, smiling sweetly, revealing two beautiful dimples on his cheeks.

Concubine Yang looked at Gao Yang sitting triumphantly on Li Ke's lap, and smiled at Li Ke: "Hutou, you don't have to spoil Gao Yang too much, you should answer to him in everything, if she is always like this, wait for you to marry her." What should she do if she has a wife, you can't take her back to the palace."

Li Ke was only fifteen years old, and in Li Ke's eyes he was considered a teenager, and he had never thought about marrying a wife. Now that Concubine Yang suddenly mentioned it, Li Ke was stunned.

15 years old, in the eyes of later generations, he is indeed still a teenager, but in the eyes of the people of the time, in a few days, it will be the age to marry a wife. It is not surprising that Concubine Yang raised this matter face to face.

At this time, Li Ke hadn't spoken yet, but Gao Yang who was sitting on Li Ke's lap spoke first. The person who hurts is still me, I will often go to brother's house."

Gao Yang is still young, and Li Ke is Gao Yang's eldest brother, and it is common for younger sisters to cling to their elder brothers. Li Shimin and Concubine Yang listened to Gao Yang's words, and they only thought that Gao Yang was a child at heart, but they didn't think much about it. He said go.

But Li Ke himself listened to Concubine Yang's words, but said: "Er's marriage is not in a hurry, the emperor's brother has not yet been registered as a concubine, and son is a younger brother, so it is very urgent."

Li Ke himself is not in a hurry to get married, but the ability to urge marriage has been passed down from his parents since ancient times. Although Li Shimin is only in his thirties and has more than ten sons, he has no grandchildren, so he is looking forward to it. Let the older princes like Li Ke get married as soon as possible and spread their branches and leaves.

Li Shimin waved his hands quickly when he heard the words, and said to Li Ke: "Although the prince is a brother, it is not necessary to follow the order of seniority in marriage and marriage. A few days ago, Qing Que made a special trip to write a letter to his father. He is a relative. Yan Wan, the daughter of Yan Lide, the general master, wanted to be named Wei Wangfei, her father and empress both agreed, and she will be married in the next year, you are the elder brother of Qingque, so you should be in a hurry."

Li Ke was slightly startled when he heard Li Shimin's words. He never expected that Li Tai would ask to marry a girl from the Yan family.
