Chapter 390 Dragon Boat Festival
Caisi Lane, Yanyu Building.

On the fifth day of May, the Dragon Boat Festival, it was approaching midsummer, and the sun gradually grew up. When Li Ke first woke up from his sleep, the sky outside the house was already bright.

Li Ke lay on the bed, stretched long, and looked sideways, only to find that the beautiful woman who was pillowing beside her was no longer there.

"Your Highness is awake?" Li Ke was thinking about where Immortal Xiao Yue was, when he heard a voice like green bells in his ears, Li Ke looked up in the direction of the sound, and it turned out that Xiao Yuexian was already dressing in front of the mirror.

"It's still early, why doesn't Xian'er sleep longer?" Li Ke got up in his clothes, walked behind Xiao Yuexian, gently stroked Xiao Yuexian's thin shoulders, and asked softly.

Now it seems that although the sky is already bright, the sun is not high yet. It must be around Mao time, which is still early, so Li Ke said this.

However, Xiao Yuexian patted the back of Li Ke's hand lightly, but said coquettishly: "Today is the Duanyang Festival, and there was a colorful boat race on the Yudai River before noon. At the invitation of Inspector Zhu, I have been lazy to sleep until now, so I am not afraid that others will fail to make a joke."

Li Ke grabbed Xiao Yuexian's jade palms on the back of his hands, played with them lightly, and said with a smile: "This king, the governor of Yangzhou, is not in charge of the army, and he is not an official close to the people. It doesn't matter if he goes or not. , Why do you want to have this fun, it's better to spend more time with Xian'er."

Xiao Yuexian let Li Ke hold her hand, and said to Li Ke: "It's okay if Your Highness doesn't go, but His Highness is always in this Yanyu Building, not in Linjiang Palace. If others find out, Xian'er is afraid that someone will criticize her."

Xiao Yuexian's kindness was to care for Li Ke, Li Ke naturally knew it, but Li Ke smiled and said: "It's okay, everyone in the world thinks that this king is a young man, and this king's style has always been like this, outsiders will not be surprised."

Hearing this, Xiao Yuexian raised her head and looked at Li Ke's indifferent expression, and a smile appeared on her face.

She knew that after the Dragon Boat Festival, Li Ke would return to Beijing. The shortest time would be two or three months, and the longest time would be half a year. Li Ke lingered here and wanted to spend more time with her. I don't know.

Xiao Yuexian looked at Li Ke, suddenly remembered something, and pulled his hand out of Li Ke's palm, and said to Li Ke: "There is something that Xian'er almost forgot, Your Highness will wait a moment."

After Xiao Yuexian finished speaking, she got up and left the dressing table, went to the inner room, and rummaged through the cabinet against the wall where clothes were stored, obviously looking for something.

Li Ke looked at Xiao Yuexian's solemn appearance, and regarded it as something important, maybe it was something important that Xiao Yuexian wanted to hand over to Li Ke, but after a while, when Xiao Yuexian looked for something, Li Ke looked at it, but I was stunned for a while.

What Xiao Yuexian was holding in his hand was nothing important, it was just a bunch of multicolored silk threads more than six inches long.

"What is this for?" Li Ke pointed to the silk thread in Xiao Yuexian's hand and asked.

Xiao Yuexian walked up to Li Ke with the colorful silk thread, and said to Li Ke: "This is the custom of Jingchu. Every Duanyang, the arms are tied with colorful silk thread, which is called 'Pi Bing'. It can keep your highness healthy in the next year and not get sick. "

During the Dragon Boat Festival, Li Ke knows the custom of tying arms with colored silk in Jingchu and even Jiangnan. , Li Ke felt that it was really weird.

Li Ke waved his hand and said hurriedly: "I am a majestic man, but not a child, why should I be like this."

Although Li Ke is a young man, but I don't know if it is because he practiced martial arts since he was a child, but his stature has grown extremely fast. Although he is young, at first glance, his appearance is slightly more handsome, almost like an adult, compared to Xiao Yuexian. Be taller.

But Xiao Yuexian said: "Your Highness is only sixteen years old, not as young as a weak crown, isn't it just a young man, if you follow the customs of Xian'er's hometown, it is the age to tie silk. What's more, Xian'er is tied on the upper arm for His Highness, and no one else can see it. , Your Highness, what are you afraid of?"

Xiao Yuexian said, regardless of whether Li Ke agreed or not, she grabbed Li Ke's hand, wrapped the colored silk around Li Ke's upper arm, tied a knot, and tied it.

What Xiao Yuexian did was out of good intentions, Li Ke didn't refuse, but just stretched out his arms and let her do whatever she wanted.

Xiao Yuexian was also careful. While tying the silk thread for Li Ke, she was still chanting plausibly such words as "exorcise evil spirits and avoid evil spirits, no disease and no disaster", very seriously.

Li Ke lowered his head, looked at Xiao Yuexian's meticulous appearance, suddenly his heart moved, he stretched out his hand, wrapped around Xiao Yuexian's waist, and pulled Xiao Yuexian's whole body into his arms.

Li Ke put his arms around Xiao Yuexian, stuck to Xiao Yuexian's ear and said: "Xian'er is still like this when she is beside me, but if she is a mother in the future, she must be even more Shuliang."

Xiao Yuexian tied the silk for Li Ke out of concern, but she never expected Li Ke to speak like this, she was stunned for a moment, and then, a blush floated on her tender cheeks.

Xiao Yuexian lay on Li Ke's chest, raised her head, stared at Li Ke's eyes with beautiful eyes, and asked: "In the future, if Xian'er really has His Highness's flesh and blood, after His Highness ascends the throne, will His Highness recognize him?"

Li Ke looked at the expectant gaze in Xiao Yuexian's eyes, leaned against Xiao Yuexian's ear, and whispered: "That's natural. If this king can ascend the throne and proclaim himself emperor in the future, this king will make him the king of Liang and seal him in Jingzhou, how about it?"

Xiao Yuexian's face suddenly showed a gleam of joy, she knew that Li Ke could say that because he took her seriously.

The current title of King of Liang is given to Li Ke's younger brother Li Yin, and if Li Ke ascends the throne in the future, Li Yin, as Li Ke's only direct younger brother, will naturally have another title of king, and enter the "Qin, Jin, Chu, and Qi" Among the four, the King of Liang title will be vacant at that time.Moreover, Xiao Yuexian's father, Xiao Xian, was the King of Liang. Li Ke's words also showed his preference for Xiao Yuexian.

But Xiao Yuexian listened to Li Ke's words, but smiled and said: "Xian'er thanked His Highness in advance, but if you think about it carefully, Xian'er does not want to have children, I hope that a daughter is enough."

It was the beginning of the Tang Dynasty, but there was no such thing as "people say that having a daughter is the lintel of the door". At that time, most people had multiple men, but what Xiao Yuexian said was different from ordinary people.

Li Ke asked puzzledly, "Why?"

Xiao Yuexian said: "Since ancient times, there have been many disputes in the royal family, especially among the princes. Xian'er has always disliked competing with others, and only two wishes in her life. One is that my father's name will be honored and his history will not be dirty. The other is that His Highness's ambition will be fulfilled." , Ascending to the throne, I don't care much about other things, so why bother to have children to fight for those things, it will only increase troubles."

Xiao Yuexian's words seemed to be mentioned casually, but Li Ke knew that most of them were Xiao Yuexian's intentional words.

Li Ke wants to rely heavily on Xiao Yuexian, based on Yangzhou, slowly integrate water transportation, salt shops, brothels, and grain roads within a few years, and control the external forces of the Chu Palace. Sooner or later, it will become a climate. Li Ke himself has no ambitions.

Not proud of being favored, not proud of power, Li Ke looked at the soft but thoughtful person in his arms, and couldn't help sighing: "What a smart woman."
