Chapter Twenty-Eight: The Newlywed Returns to Ning
When Melodious Yang opened his eyes again, it was already morning light, and he found that the big feet next to him were long gone.
Melodious snorted and called. "Tong'er!"
"Princess, are you awake?" Tong'er immediately ran in.
"Well, what about the ......, Your Highness?"
"Your Highness is practicing swords in the garden." Tong'er replied shyly, her young lady really can't leave His Royal Highness for a while.
"Pretty diligent!" Melodious and lazy stretching.
"Princess, let Tong'er hurry up and serve you to freshen up, you have to return to Ning today!" Tong'er reminded.
"Oh, hurry up then!"
After Tong'er finished serving and grooming, Li Ke just returned from sword practice, he was dressed in a cyan brocade shirt and looked more erect, sweat soaked a strand of broken hair at the corner of his forehead, and his handsome face was a little red because of exercise, handsome but manly.
Seeing Melodious staring at himself with burning eyes, he quipped. "The pig is up?"
"I'm still a dog, I'll bite you to death." A certain woman withdrew her eyes and pouted.
Tong'er snickered as she watched Miss and His Royal Highness arguing, the relationship between the two is really good, it seems that His Royal Highness doesn't care about what happened to Miss, Miss has really met a lover.
After eating breakfast with Li Ke, Melodious and Li Ke got into the carriage back to the door, and the family of King Wu's Mansion followed closely with several large boxes full of gifts, and there was also a team of guards to protect them.
Melodiously looked at the huge team and sighed incomparably, her mother's family is rich, her mother-in-law's family is richer, she has never been so willful in her life.
When I arrived at the gate of Gu's mansion, I saw Master Gu, Mrs. Gu, the housekeeper and his subordinates waiting at the door.
"Greetings to His Royal Highness King Wu, Princess Wu, His Royal Highness King Wu and Princess Wu are blessed!" The housekeeper led the family and the girls to salute.
"Excuse me, reward!" Li Kelang said.
"Your Majesty welcomes His Royal Highness King Wu and Princess Wu!" Old Man Gu and Mrs. Gu also made a big gift!
"Father-in-law and mother-in-law, please don't be polite, they are all their own family, and there are not so many courtesies!" Li Ke hurriedly helped Master Gu up.
"Yes, Daddy, how can you afford to give your daughter a salute?" Melodious hurriedly helped Mrs. Gu.
Master Gu interrupted the melodious words. "This child, you are not married to an ordinary family, since you have become Princess Wu, you have been different from your father and mother since then, how can there be no reason not to be polite!"
"Anyway, my daughter doesn't care, don't give your daughter a salute in the future, my daughter can't stand it, and His Royal Highness won't blame him for this." Melodious was born in the 21st century, where everyone is equal, and it is okay to salute people, so she has to follow the customs, but let her elders salute, she will never agree.
"Father-in-law, mother-in-law, since this king is married to Melodious, then we are a family, and this king is your son-in-law." Li Ke persuaded Old Man Gu.
"Okay, okay, don't salute in the future!" Old Man Gu was moved to tears, and he knew that he had not seen the wrong person, and it was right to entrust his daughter to such a bold person.
"Master, don't talk outside, please come into the house!" Mrs. Gu said.
Li Ke and Old Man Gu drank tea in the lobby, and after Mrs. Gu instructed the kitchen to prepare wine and food, she took Melodious Yang to the boudoir.
The sandalwood is curling, and the tea fragrance is overflowing.
Master Gu gently stirred the suspended tea petal with the lid of the cup in his hand, and was quiet for a long time, and said. "There seems to be some estrangement between the crown prince and the king of Wei?"
Li Ke bowed. "Yes, there is nothing more cruel in the past than taking the heir."
"What does Your Highness think?" Old Man Gu asked tentatively, he didn't dare to talk nonsense before, but now his identity has changed, his son-in-law is the talent of the general in his mind, and if he has the heart to win the heir, he should fully support it.
Li Ke took a sip of tea, calmly unable to see the emotion, and said lightly. "My father taught this king to honor his parents and care for his brothers since he was a child, and this king is not without ambitions, but he will not want to break his father's heart."
Old Man Gu smiled with satisfaction. "The old man really didn't see the wrong person, His Royal Highness is a filial child!"
If the prince is not benevolent, they should have such a benevolent and excellent master in the country they were born and died.
Li Ke shook his head. "Although this king has no intention of taking the heir, but there are always people eyeing him, and the current situation is taking advantage of the trend, and this king may eventually be pushed to the road of winning the heir."
Master Gu nodded approvingly. "The emperor's love for His Royal Highness and the courtiers see it in the eyes, if His Royal Highness is crowned as the prince, what he is most afraid of is the eldest grandson Wuji, his ambition cannot be underestimated, and now the crown prince is the flesh and blood of the eldest grandson queen, if not, it will be very different."
Li Ke's face was slightly cold, and he said. "Although he is now ready to move on this king, but this king is in Chang'an for a day he resolutely does not dare to mess around, if this king leaves Chang'an, it will be difficult to say, but he also has the ability to do it."
Old Man Gu sighed. "Alas, after all, Your Highness asked for a decree to go to the fiefdom because of my Gu family."
Li Ke comforted. "There are people in the court who are making trouble, even if they don't ask for the decree in person, I'm afraid they can't stay in Beijing for a long time, and it's only a matter of time before they go to the fiefdom."
Master Gu was still worried. "Although His Highness will go to the fiefdom in the future, but according to His Highness's meritocracy, it will definitely affect some people, I am afraid that he will not give up on this, and it is a long way to go to the fiefdom, His Highness must make plans in advance just in case."
Li Ke arched his hand and said. "Thank you father-in-law for the reminder!"
Master Gu nodded with satisfaction. "Today is a big day to return home, we don't talk about state affairs, drink tea, drink tea!"
Compared with Master Gu's worries, Mrs. Gu obviously cares more about her daughter's happiness.
In the boudoir, Mrs. Gu held her melodious hand and stroked her hair, sitting for a long time.
"My children have grown up and are now married, is Your Highness good to you?" Mrs. Gu knew that Li Ke was a good child, but she could only rest assured when she heard Melodious say that she was happy.
"Mother, don't worry, Your Highness is very good to your daughter!" Melodious looked at Mrs. Gu for a while, because she took away the love that did not belong to her, and the only thing she could do was to take care of her father and mother instead of Gu Youyou.
"That's good, you are not as good as being at home in King Wu's Mansion, you must take your husband as God, and give in when you should give in!" Mrs. Gu taught.
"Mother, don't worry, my daughter will. Let's start eating, let's go see what Daddy is doing, okay? Melodiously changing the topic, she couldn't let Mrs. Gu open the conversation, the idea of male superiority and inferiority would lead her to pedantic.
"This child, my mother doesn't like to listen to it after just saying a few words." Mrs. Gu pretended to pat her palms twice and smiled dotingly.
