Chapter 391 The wedding is imminent
After the Dragon Boat Festival, when it was time for Li Shimin to return to Beijing with Li Ke, Li Ke set off from Yangzhou for Chang'an.

Although it was already mid-summer and the weather was hot, Li Ke never delayed at all. Chasing early, catching up late, taking a lunch break, it was only mid-May, and he was about to arrive in Chang'an City.

Outside Chang'an City, by the Ba River, Li Ke was riding his horse towards the Ba Bridge in the face of the rising sun, his back and front were already wet with sweat.

With the scorching sun above his head and the constant humming of cicadas in his ears, Li Ke, who had been on the road for several days, couldn't help feeling a little more depressed, but fortunately, seeing that he was already in Chang'an City, he felt a little more comforted.

"Your Highness, it's my lady." Under the scorching sun, on the Baqiao, Xi Junmai was walking behind Li Ke a horse's head behind, and suddenly pointed to the figure of a woman under the willow tree on the opposite bank and said to Li Ke.

Xi Junmai is the commander of Li Ke's personal guards. Apart from Li Ke's younger sister Li Fangling, Princess Gaoyang, who can be called Xi Junmai's mistress, there is also Wu Meiniang who is about to become the princess of Chu.

But Princess Gao Yang is in the palace, it is not easy to leave the palace, let alone leave Chang'an City to wait for him, so Xi Junmai must be talking about Wu Meiniang.

Sure enough, Li Ke looked in the direction Xi Junmai pointed, and the woman guarding under the willow tree on the opposite bank was Li Ke's soon-to-be Princess Chu.And it is the hot summer of May, who else can ask Wu Meiniang to wait here except Li Ke.

It was very conspicuous for Li Ke to appear on the river bank. Li Ke saw Wu Meiniang, and Wu Meiniang, who had been staring at the other side of the Bashui River for a long time, also saw Li Ke. wave.

"Junmai stay here, sir and others go back to the house first." Li Ke looked at Wu Meiniang waving, and ordered everyone behind him.

"No." Wang Xuance, who was following behind Li Ke, responded, and left with a group of guards.

After Wang Xuance left, Li Ke rode his horse straight towards Wu Meiniang. When he reached Wu Meiniang, Li Ke got off his horse and threw the reins to Xi Junmai.

"Sanlang." Seeing Li Ke approaching, Wu Meiniang smiled at Li Ke with a crescent moon drawn at the corner of her mouth.

It's midsummer, the sun is scorching hot, even under the shade of trees, people feel sultry and hot.Li Ke looked closely at Wu Meiniang, seeing the beads of sweat dripping from Wu Meiniang's forehead, as well as her slightly pale face steamed by the river, feeling sorry for her.

Li Ke lifted the corner of his sleeve, gently wiped the sweat off her face, and said to Wu Meiniang: "The summer is scorching hot, and the sun is shining in the sky. Why are you here outside the city, if you don't rest in the mansion? Don't get too hot."

Wu Meiniang looked at Li Ke wiping the sweat from her forehead for herself, a tinge of sweetness appeared in her heart, she stepped forward and took Li Ke's arm, and said to Li Ke: "It's okay, Meiniang knows that Sanlang will arrive in Beijing today, Meiniang thinks about it early. When I saw Sanlang, I came to wait outside the city. Meiniang came here in a carriage, and she didn't suffer from heat poison on the way, so Sanlang doesn't have to worry."

Li Ke looked at Wu Meiniang's face full of joy, which was the appearance of the little girl Hou when she got her long-lost lover. He couldn't bear to blame him. Li Ke gently patted the back of Wu Meiniang's hand, and said softly: "This king will go back all the way!" Beijing, the mountains are far away and the rivers are long, so there is no certain time, if the king arrives tonight, will you have to wait until the evening?"

Wu Meiniang replied without hesitation: "Sanlang returns to Beijing, Meiniang should welcome him, even if Sanlang returns tomorrow, Meiniang is willing to wait."

Li Ke listened to Wu Meiniang's words, and felt more and more pity in his heart, Li Ke asked: "When did you get here, I'm afraid you have been waiting for a long time."

This time, before Wu Meiniang could speak, Jin'er, the maid who followed Wu Meiniang, answered Li Ke's words first.

Jin'er said: "Young lady received a letter from His Highness yesterday, knowing that His Highness will arrive in Beijing today, and came here as soon as the sky was bright this morning. I have been waiting for nearly two hours."

The most difficult thing to bear is the beauty's kindness. When Li Ke returned to Beijing, Wu Meiniang waited outside the city for so long, but Li Ke felt a little sorry.

Hearing this, Li Ke held Wu Meiniang's hand and said: "If you want to see me earlier, just wait in the palace, why bother to suffer this crime."

But Wu Meiniang said: "When Sanlang went south, it was Meiniang who sent Sanlang off at Baqiao. Now that Sanlang is returning north, it should be Meiniang who is here to greet him."

Li Ke said with a smile: "Meiniang's heart, this king has taken it. Meiniang will go back to the city with me soon. It will be noon in a while, and the sun will become more and more vicious."

Wu Meiniang looked at Li Ke, first nodded in response, then paused, and said: "Can Sanlang go back to the city with Meiniang in a carriage?"

Li Ke replied: "That's natural. If you go back to the city in a carriage, I don't feel at ease. I will send you back first, and then return to the palace."

"Okay, Your Highness, follow me into the carriage." Wu Meiniang said, and she dragged Li Ke into the carriage of Wufu.

In the carriage, as soon as Li Ke sat down, Wu Meiniang sat next to Li Ke, holding Li Ke's arm with both hands, and leaned gently on Li Ke's shoulder, with a smile on her face.

Although the weather is hot, it is much cooler inside the carriage than outside the carriage. Li Ke looked down at Wu Meiniang's cute little bird, her black silk hanging on Li Ke's chest like satin, and the fragrance from the tips of her hair penetrated into it. In Li Ke's nose, Li Ke seemed drunk.

If it was placed a year ago, when Li Ke had not yet arrived in Jiangling, Li Ke would never have imagined that 30 years later, the heroine would be the emperor, and the emperor Zetian, who was supposed to be the emperor, would still be so weak and pitiful. the human side.

But when Li Ke thinks about it carefully, in the current martial arts family, the warrior Xun is still there, and Wu Meiniang is still the jewel in the palm of the warrior Xun's palm.

"Sanlang, at the beginning of last month, my elder sister married into He Lan's family, but it's a pity that Sanlang was in Yangzhou and couldn't see her in person." Wu Meiniang leaned against Li Ke, and suddenly said.

Wu Meiniang's elder sister, Wu Shun, said that she gave her to Helan Yueshi of Wuchuan's Helan family as early as last year. She was originally scheduled to get married in the middle of this year, but because of the auspicious wedding of Li Ke and Wu Meiniang, it was counted. In June, the Wu family and the He Lan family negotiated to advance the marriage of Wu Shun, the eldest sister, so as not to conflict with Wu Meiniang.

Li Ke didn't know why Wu Meiniang suddenly mentioned this matter, but he still said: "Although Helan Yueshi has no official position, the Helan family is also a wealthy family in Daizhou. After a famous family, Helan Yueshi has a good reputation. Even with the baronship of Yingshan County, wealth and no worries, it can be considered a good match."

Wu Meiniang nodded and said: "That day when my sister got married, Meiniang saw my sister was welcomed into the Helan Mansion in her wedding dress, gold and emerald, and thought about what she would look like when she got married. Thinking that time flies so fast, San Lang has already returned to Beijing to prepare for his wedding, Meiniang will soon be San Lang's bride."

Hearing this, Li Ke stretched out his hand, slowly took Wu Meiniang into his arms, and said softly: "Yes, in less than a month's time it will be the day of your and my wedding. At that time, the prince will go to the Wufu with a prince's guard of honor. Then Shi Mei Niang must be the most beautiful bride in Chang'an City."
