Back to Tang Dynasty to be Emperor

After returning to the mansion, Li Ke gradually recovered under the careful care of the imperial doctor Zhang Dezhong. At the same time, because he usually exercises, his physical fitness is very good, and he recovered after a few days of rest in the mansion.During this period, many people came to visit him. Among them, Cen Wenwen, Chu Suiliang, Deng Tongda, and Zuo Yi were all Li Ke's confidantes, and it was normal to visit him.Feng Deyi and Sun Fujia are members of the Hanwang Party, so it is normal to visit him.The Five Tigers of Chang'an, Qin Huaiyu, Cheng Huailiang, Chai Zhewei, Li Zong, and Yu Chijun, came to visit him for friendship.In addition, several of Li Ke's brothers also came, Wei Wang Li Tai, Qi Wang Li You naturally did not say anything, even Li Chengqian, who always disliked him, came to Han Palace with her under the coercion of Empress Changsun to ask Li Ke hypocritically He got sick, and pretended to say a few words to let him recuperate, and if there is any difficulty, he can tell himself something like that.

However, the few people Li Ke was looking forward to the most did not come, which disappointed Li Ke. Of course, these people included Hou Junji and his daughter, Hou Ruoyi.At this time, Li Kexin, who was sitting quietly in the study and flipping through "Sun Tzu's Art of War", was no longer in the book.He thought of the scene of Ruoyi seeing him off by the Weishui River when he was on a mission to Turkic. She was affectionate, and the look in her worried eyes Li Ke would never forget.However, now that she has returned to Chang'an, and the people in Chang'an City know that she is seriously ill, Hou Ruoyi naturally knows it too, but why hasn't she come to visit her?This is not in line with her character, let alone her principle of doing things.Li Ke frowned and fell into deep thought. Could it be that the thing related to him that he had a hunch in Lingzhou would be Hou Ruoyi?

"Your Highness" was just when Li Ke was worrying about Hou Ruoyi's matter, he heard Yang En's voice.He looked up and saw some unmelted pieces of Yang En still stained on his body, and asked in surprise, "Is it snowing outside Mr. Yang again?"

"Yes, Your Highness," Yang En said, "This winter is much colder than usual, and it often snows heavily in Chang'an City." After answering Li Ke's question, Yang En continued, "Miss Waiting came to visit His Highness in the front hall..."

"Hurry up and invite her to the study." Li Ke said happily when he heard Yang En's reply.

"No." Yang En agreed, bowed and retreated.Not long after, I saw Hou Ruoyi with a dusty face coming to the study under Yang En's guidance.Li Ke watched Hou Ruoyi quietly, and Hou Ruoyi also watched Li Ke quietly, the two of them just kept silent and didn't speak.After Yang En ordered the maid to serve tea to Li Ke and Hou Ruoyi, he gently closed the door of the study from the outside.

After a while, Hou Ruoyi said softly, "Ruoyi has seen His Highness."

"Ruoyi..." Li Ke called Hou Ruoyi's name and stopped talking, because he saw a crystal-like tear on Hou Ruoyi's cheek.His heart hurts, really hurts, like being pricked by a needle. "Ruoyi" Li Ke said softly, "I have not broken my promise to you. This king is back, returning triumphantly."

"Yes, Ruoyi knows, and Ruoyi is also happy for His Highness." Hou Ruoyi's voice choked up when he said this, "But, Ruoyi feels sorry for His Highness, and His Highness has suffered and suffered all the way in Mobei. Ruoyi understands and can feel it.”

"In fact, I didn't suffer much, and I didn't suffer much." Li Ke saw the tears in Ruoyi's eyes, so he gently wiped them with his hands, and then comforted him, "Isn't this king standing in front of you?" , look at you, what happened today, like a child, let others see it and think it was the king who bullied you."

"Your Highness, can you write blessings for Ruoyi?" Hou Ruoyi suddenly took out a page of rice paper and handed it to Li Ke.

Li Ke took the rice paper that Ruoyi handed him, "Your ruler is like the dust of the road, and the concubine is like the muddy cement. Ups and downs have different potentials. When will they meet?" Li Ke read softly.Hou Ruoyi asked Li Ke to write Cao Zhi's "Moon on a Tall Building".

"En..." Li Ke didn't know why Hou Ruoyi let him write such a sad poem for her, but he still didn't think about what he meant, "You grind it for me, and I will write it for you." He said, At the same time, I began to throw rice paper for writing on the table.Then, when he spread the rice paper and picked up the pen to write, he found that Hou Ruoyi was still standing motionless like a wooden bird.

"Ruoyi" Li Ke whispered, waiting for Ruoyi to suddenly wake up, he said, "What are you thinking?"

"Your Highness" Hou Ruoyi suddenly stopped talking, glanced at Li Ke, and came over to grind for him.

"Ruoyi, if you have something to tell me directly, my king sees that you don't look right today, do you feel unwell? It's been cold these days, you have to pay attention to your body, don't catch a cold."

"Your Highness, don't you really know?" Hou Ruoyi finally asked.

Li Ke smiled slightly, "What's the matter, what are you talking about?" Then he continued to dip his pen in ink, and began to write the last line of Cao Zhi's "Moon on a High Building" on the rice paper: When will the meeting be harmonious?

"Your Highness really doesn't know the emperor's will?" Hou Ruoyi asked nervously.

"What is the order of the father? I don't know? This king seldom cares about government affairs." Li Ke continued to write, but did not notice Hou Ruoyi's face at this time.

After Li Ke finished writing, took the rice paper to the brazier, dried the ink and handed it to Hou Ruoyi, Hou Ruoyi carefully put it away, and then she looked at Li Ke carefully, making Li Ke not understand what happened today. What happened to Zoe.

"Your Highness, Ruoyi has something to tell you." Hou Ruoyi said calmly, but there was a firmness in her tone.

"Ruoyi, what's the matter with you?" At this moment, Li Ke knew that Hou Ruoyi must be hiding something in his heart. He walked lightly to Ruoyi's side, looked into her tear-filled eyes, and couldn't help but Pulling her into his arms, "Ruoyi, is there anything I can't say to the king? If you have something on your mind, just say it, and you will feel very uncomfortable in your heart."

Hou Ruoyi felt the sense of security and warmth that Li Ke's solid chest brought him, and fell silent for a moment, holding back the sound of crying, "His Royal Highness, before meeting you, Ruoyi thought she was the same as you A predestined person is someone you like, and you have the opportunity to grow old together with him. Then, after meeting you, Ruoyi found out how stupid he is. Loving someone is very simple, that is to use a moment to like, use It takes a day to fall in love with him, but in the end it takes a lifetime to forget him."

"Ruoyi, I understand what you mean, because this king has also had such an experience. This king knows that it takes a lifetime to forget someone who can make him fall in love with her." Li Ke thought of Hou Ruoyi's words. After seeing Enuo in his previous life, an uncontrollable sadness suddenly surged in his heart.At the same time, he felt Hou Ruoyi's emotional ups and downs today, forced to hold back his sadness, and greeted Ruoyi eagerly, "Ruoyi, what happened to you today?"

Hou Ruoyi broke free from Li Ke's arms. At this time, she was already in tears. She wanted to stay in Li Ke's arms, and wanted to stay in Li Ke's arms for the rest of her life.But, she couldn't, why would the old man play tricks on her like this.When he fell in love with a man, he wanted her to marry a man he didn't like?

"Your Highness, during your mission to Turkic, Ruoyi thought of you every day, and even forgot herself because of you. Ruoyi would wait for you by the Wei River every day, and hoped that you would return as soon as possible. The envoy returned to Beijing and said that when you were robbed in Mobei, Ruoyi was very scared, afraid that you would be hurt, and that you would never return to Chang'an, so Ruoyi began to ask the Bodhisattva every day to bless her for your safe return." Ruoyi continued. Said, "Zuoyi is very greedy, but at this time, Ruoyi is also very satisfied. Once Ruoyi was thinking that at least once in a person's life, he should forget himself for someone, not looking for results, not asking for companionship, I don’t ask for what I once had, or even for him to love me. I just ask for meeting him in my most beautiful years. And Ruoyi met him. At the most beautiful moment of Raoyi’s life, Ruoyi met him. Therefore, Ruoyi Nothing to ask for."

"Ruoyi, I understand what you mean." Li Ke finally understood what Ruoyi said, and at the same time he made a decision, "Don't worry, in a few days this king will ask Father for an order and let him make an order." May I marry you?"

Li Ke likes Ruoyi only because he had Enuo in his previous life, and met his eldest grandson Bingning in this life, and because of his sensitive identity, he dare not be too demanding on this girl, and only wants to see her when he misses her.Now that she heard what she said from the bottom of her heart, Li Ke finally had the courage to say such a thing, and then had the courage to ask her to marry him.

"Your Highness, it's too late, it's really too late." Ruoyi cried, "Why did you say it now? Why did you come back so late? Why was it him?" She didn't dare to meet Li Ke's gaze, " Just ten days ago, the emperor had granted the crown prince's will to welcome Ruoyi, and following the imperial decree, there is no room for maneuver."

"What?" Li Ke exclaimed loudly, he couldn't believe what Ruoyi said, his expression turned pale with excitement, he grabbed Ruoyi and shouted, "Ruoyi, say it again, Father is coming down!" What will I give you?"

"Your Highness, just now if Ruoyi asked you if you knew about the emperor's decree, you said you didn't know, and after hearing what you just said, Ruoyi is already very satisfied." Ruoyi said with a choked voice, "The emperor It has been decreed that Ruoyi betrothed the crown prince, and we will not meet again in the future."

"Really?" Li Ke said to himself, "Father will not order you to marry Li Chengqian, no."

"Your Highness, it's true. Daddy has already agreed to this marriage. Ruoyi will marry the crown prince next month. Therefore, in the future, Ruoyi will never come to Han Palace again, and Your Highness will never come to Hou Mansion either," said Ruoyi. After finishing this sentence, regardless of Li Ke's almost crazy state, he resisted his urge to stay and walked out of Li Ke's study.

There was blood flying outside the house, and the happy snowflakes swayed happily in the cold wind, and then gently fell to the ground.Ruoyi was blown by the cold wind outside, her heart trembled, and at the same time she said to herself, "Farewell, Your Highness."
