Wang Ke's family had dinner without knowing the taste, Wang Si and his son returned to the study, and when they wanted to discuss how to deal with this matter, Mrs. Wang led Li Ke straight to the study.
When Wang Ke saw Li Ke, he jumped up and said loudly: "Your Highness, I also said that you might only be able to come over tomorrow, but I didn't expect you to come today." ”
Li Ke and Wang Si sat on the chair as soon as they saw the ceremony, and the thief said with a smile: "I said brother-in-law, this horse master is not good, haha." ”
Wang Ke stretched out his hand and punched: "If there is a fart, let it go, I didn't see me in a hurry like this." ”
Seeing Wang Ke and Li Ke being so casual, Wang Si hurriedly said: "Ke'er, how can you talk to Your Highness, why don't you make amends to Your Highness." ”
Li Ke said disappreciatively: "Uncle Wang, it's okay. Our two brothers are used to it. Uncle go and rest first, and I'll talk to Brother Wang. ”
Wang Si saw that Li Ke let him go first, knowing that there was something about the two of them who didn't want him to know, and he was afraid that he would not be able to let go of the two of them to talk, so he also left.
Li Ke saw that Wang Si was gone, so he asked: "Brother Wang, today my father asked who you like that person is, why don't you tell Sister Nanping?" ”
Wang Ke sighed and said, "Didn't I still know the princess's plans? I'm afraid I'll hurt the princess's reputation by saying it, no? ”
Li Ke said with a smile: "I'm not afraid now, I came out of the palace and went to Sister Nanping to make the matter clear, Sister Nanping heard that Brother Wang would rather lose his head for her than serve the edict, and she was so moved that she cried." Ask me to bring a message to Brother Wang, and I will never live up to Brother Wang's kindness in this life. But in the matter of treating Lanling's sister, I hope that Brother Wang will make a good living, and he must not hurt Lanling's sister's heart. ”
Wang Ke said with a bitter face: "I can't help this, I can't do anything about this." You must know that what the emperor said cannot be taken back. Ke can only resist the decree with death, hoping that the emperor will take back his fate. It's just whether it succeeds or not, but it's not Ke's decision, how can this be good. ”
Li Ke also sighed: "Yes, this thing is really difficult to do, isn't it very fast when Brother Wang thinks of a way for Ke?" Now that the matter has come to me, I have to think of a way to do it. ”
Wang Ke smiled bitterly: "The doctor still doesn't heal himself, what can I do?" I'm really out of line now. It's a tough thing to do. Unless...... ”
Li Ke listened to Wang Ke's meaning, as if there was still a little turning point, and hurriedly asked, "Unless what?" Let's talk about it first, if there is a place that Ke can help, I will do my best. ”
Wang Ke shook his head and said: "Forget it, this possibility is impossible, saying it is equivalent to saying it in vain, so let's not say it." ”
Li Ke was anxious, since Wang Ke and he met, Wang Ke risked killing his head and tried his best for himself, which made him very moved. Now seeing that Wang Ke is in trouble, he also wants to do his part. But Wang Ke's current attitude makes him energetic.
Li Ke was really a little anxious, so he said: "Is it possible to say it first, how can you know if you don't do it." You speak first, and then we'll take a long-term view. ”
Wang Ke was afraid of death, but he didn't want to give up Nanping, and seeing that Li Ke's words were all about this, he had to say: "Unless the emperor is gracious, on the premise of not changing what he says, he will decree that Princess Nanping will be married together." Do you think this is possible? It's simply impossible! ”
When Li Ke heard this, he couldn't help shaking his body and said, "This is unlikely." There is no precedent for these two princesses to marry the same person, and this is really difficult. ”
Wang Ke spread his hands, shrugged his shoulders and said, "So it's useless for me to say it." Now I really can't do anything. Now I can't say that I have to wait at home to die. ”
Li Ke had never seen Wang Ke so discouraged, but he had no choice but to comfort: "Brother Wang, isn't there still two days, you can think of a way." Ke went around again to see if there was a slight turnaround. As he spoke, he stood up and wanted to leave and go home.
Wang Ke suddenly remembered something, and hurriedly stopped Li Ke and asked, "Your Highness, the emperor has summoned you to the palace, can you clearly explain the matter to the emperor?" ”
Li Ke replied strangely: "Of course Ke said it truthfully and originally. Why did Brother Wang ask that? ”
Wang Ke didn't answer, and asked again: "What is the emperor's expression after you finish speaking?" ”
Li Ke carefully recalled the situation at the time and replied: "Originally, my father was still very angry, but when I finished speaking, my father didn't look angry at all, but his face was a little embarrassed. Without saying anything, he waved me away. ”
Wang Ke nodded, didn't speak, and sat there in a daze.
Li Ke pushed Wang Ke and said, "Okay, don't think about it." I'll go back first, tomorrow you stay at home, don't go anywhere, I'll walk around, I'll come to you if there's anything." ”
Wang Ke sent Li Ke out of the house, and watched him slowly walk away before returning to his house listlessly.
Dongyue sat on the edge of the bed, saw Wang Ke come in, threw herself into Wang Ke's arms and cried. Wang Ke already knew about this matter today, and Dongyue couldn't help crying when she remembered that Wang Ke would die if she didn't get it right this time. As soon as he slowly suppressed his crying, when he saw Wang Ke coming in, he cried again.
Wang Ke stroked Dongyue's hair, forced a smile and said, "Don't cry, it's nothing." The husband can solve it. ”
Dongyue raised her crying face, looked at Wang Ke and said, "Husband, the concubine knows that her husband is a person who values love and righteousness, but now that it's like this, let's listen to the emperor's words, don't resist the decree." I believe that Princess Nanping will understand her husband's intentions. ”
Wang Ke sighed and said to Dongyue: "Don't worry about Dongyue, the husband has his own measure. ”
"Well, Dongyue believes in her husband." Dongyue buried her head in Wang Ke's arms and replied in a muffled voice.
Tossing and turning, Wang Ke didn't sleep well all night, and his family started to be busy early in the morning, so he fell asleep in a daze. Dongyue made an exception and did not ask Wang Ke to get up for breakfast.
I don't know how long it took, Dongyue ran in in a panic, woke up Wang Ke and said, "Husband, hurry up, the two princesses Xiangcheng and Changle are here, and Madame is waiting for her husband in the study." ”
Wang Ke asked half-asleep, "Why did the two princesses come early in the morning?" ”
Dongyue said in surprise: "It's afternoon, and my husband thought it was morning." Hurry up, don't let the two princesses wait. ”
Wang Ke hurriedly put on his clothes, and went straight to the study without bothering to wash his face.
When I entered the door, I saw Mrs. Wang talking to the two princesses, and hurriedly said: "Wang Ke visited the two princesses, I don't know what the princess came to order?" ”
After Xiangcheng and Changle glanced at each other, Xiangcheng raised his eyes to look at Mrs. Wang and said, "Our sisters want to talk to Lord Wang, and please ask Mrs. to take care of herself." ”
Mrs. Wang understood, and hurriedly withdrew from the study. Before leaving, he glanced at Wang Ke with concern.
Xiangcheng waited for Mrs. Wang to leave before saying to Wang Ke with a smile: "Lord Wang is really affectionate and righteous, and he will not hesitate to resist for my sister Nanping." If your father is really determined to disobey the decree and kill you because you don't marry Nanping, I wonder if Lord Wang will dare to resist the decree and disobey it? ”
Wang Ke knew that these two people came to persuade him to marry Lanling and give up Nanping, so he said firmly: "Ke swears that he will marry Nanping, and no one can let Ke change his decision." If he can't marry Nanping, Ke is determined to resist the will, even if the head of Xiang Shang's head falls to the ground, he will not hesitate to do it! ”
Princess Changle said coldly: "Then aren't you afraid of hurting Lanling's heart?" ”
Wang Ke sighed: "Princess Lanling is still young, and she will understand in the future." And Princess Nanping has already suffered a blow. I can't let her go through such a blow anymore. Since Ke first saw Nanping, he swore in his heart that he wanted to marry Nanping as his wife, and this oath must not be abandoned because he wanted to lose his life, and it was definitely not done by a husband. I, Wang Ke, was born as a man, how could I do such a thing! ”
Princess Xiangcheng sighed: "Lord Wang's infatuation makes us ashamed. Our sisters will intercede for the king, and ask our father to fulfill it. ”
Wang Ke didn't know who said this to the two princesses, and asked tentatively: "I don't know if this matter is what His Royal Highness said to the two princesses?" ”
Xiangcheng smiled and said, "It's the third brother." This morning, the third brother came to my house, talked to me about this matter, and praised the high righteousness of the adult, I came to you with my sister Changle, first, to see how determined your Lord Wang is, and secondly, to tell you, there is still a maneuver in this matter, please don't worry. The third brother came out of my house and went to the palace. When our sisters go out from you, we will also go to the palace to intercede with the queen. ”
After speaking, he stood up and said to Wang Ke: "The words have come to this, please wait for the news in the mansion." For the sake of Sister Nanping, our sisters will also do their best to find a perfect solution. ”
Wang Ke hurriedly saluted and said, "There are also two princesses Lao, Ke is grateful. ”
Princess Changle said jokingly: "Don't thank you yet, if you can't do it, your head will fall off and now you will thank you in vain." ”
Wang Ke hurriedly said: "It is up to people to plan things, and it is up to heaven to make things happen." The princess should be thankful for her great kindness. If it really doesn't work, then thank you will become a thank you. ”
sent Princess Erwei out, but when he turned around, he saw Mrs. Wang, her two aunts and Dongyue standing there looking at her. Wang Ke pretended to be relaxed and stepped forward and said, "It's okay, the two princesses are here to help me find a way." Now they went into the palace to find the queen's mother. ”
When the people heard this, they relaxed a little.
At night, when the lights were in charge, Wang Si came back from outside, and the family immediately surrounded him.
Wang Si knew what everyone was doing, shook his hand and said, "Let's eat, it's nothing today." I just heard that the Third Highness and a group of princesses all entered the palace today to find the queen's mother. The emperor was busy with the dispatch of troops, and he came back late. If anything, we won't know until tomorrow. ”
Wang Ke watched the family worry about their own affairs, and couldn't help but say: "It's all my fault for being bad, making my father and aunt worried." ”
Wang Si smiled and said, "Ke'er, I'm glad for my father's behavior like this. Don't blame yourself too much, Jiren has its own celestial phenomena. Now that so many highnesses and princesses are running for you, it will definitely be solved. I believe that as a father, the emperor is not an unreasonable person, and he will be fine. Come, let's eat. ”
Another sleepless night, Wang Ke's eyes were sunken because of continuous insomnia, his beard was stubble, and because he had no appetite, his face, which didn't have much flesh, looked thinner, and his cheekbones were exposed.
When Li Ke came, Wang Ke was lying listlessly on the recliner under the eaves in a daze.
When Li Ke saw Wang Ke like this, he sighed, pulled Wang Ke up and walked out.
Wang Ke didn't say anything, and drove the car and let Li Ke let him drive wherever he wanted.
It was only after driving until Nanping Mansion that Wang Ke was a little sober, and couldn't help asking, "What did Your Highness do when you called me to the princess?" ”
Li Ke pulled Wang Ke and said as he walked: "Let's go in first, let's go in." ”
Maybe he heard the sound of the car, Nanping ran out of the house, and when he saw Wang Ke like this, he couldn't care about being reserved, and threw himself into Wang Ke's arms and cried.
Li Ke coughed twice next to him, and Nanping left Wang Ke and stood up straight, but a pair of teary eyes still looked at Wang Ke intently.
Li Ke said: "Let's go in first, Sister Lanling is still inside." ”
A few people saved it and hurriedly walked in. When Lanling saw Wang Ke, he also knew that Comrade Li Er had promised himself to Wang Ke, and he lowered his head shyly, and he no longer had his original appearance.
Wang Ke stepped forward to salute, and Lanling hurriedly stood up and returned the salute.
Li Ke hurriedly greeted: "Okay, okay." There are no outsiders here, so just say anything. ”
Wang Ke didn't know what to say, but he looked at Nanping with two eyes, and he didn't want to move away for a moment.
Nanping gritted his teeth and said, "Mu Dong, my father and the emperor have issued an order, so you can agree." Nanping knows your intentions, and he can't forget your affection to death, so why do you have to do it for Nanping and your father? ”
Wang Ke shook his head and said to Nanping: "No, if you want to do this, where can I resist the decree in the first place." Wouldn't it be enough to just take the order and thank you directly. ”
Lan Ling also knew the reason for this on the side, and now seeing the two of them like this, he couldn't help but say: "Sister, let's go and beg our father, let's just marry together!" ”
Li Ke smiled bitterly: "Silly sister, if it can be so easy, how can there be so many things now." ”
Lan Ling was puzzled and said, "Why not?" Isn't my brother's mother also a sister who married her father as a concubine? Why can't we? ”
This really stopped Li Ke.
Indeed, Li Ke's mother and sister married Comrade Li Er, and now they are all concubines in the harem.
Seeing that Li Ke was silent, Lanling stood up with a "whew" and said to the three of them: "I'll go back to the palace now, I'll go and talk to the queen mother and father!" ”
After saying that, he ran out, and the three of them didn't have time to stop him.
Wang Ke saw that he had nothing to say, so he said to Nanping: "Princess, now Ke is no longer able to do anything, please forgive the princess." But what Ke wants to tell the princess is that Ke Wei will never submit to anyone, even if she doesn't want her life. ”
After listening to Wang Ke's confession, Nanping lowered his head and thought for a long time before he raised his head to Wang Ke and said firmly: "The third brother and sisters are running up and down for Nanping; Mu Dong treats me rather die than resist the decree. Nanping should also have something to say! Nanping entered the palace and wanted his father and queen to express his thoughts. Even if you don't want the name of this princess, as long as I am allowed to marry into the Wang family, even if it is a concubine, Nanping is willing! ”
After speaking, he turned his head and said to Li Ke: "Please also ask the third brother to accompany Mu Dong back, be careful on the way, don't let him have an accident." The little sister will go to the palace. ”
Li Ke nodded. The three of them came out together, Nanping went to the palace, and Li Ke accompanied Wang Ke back to the palace, settled Wang Ke, and went to the palace to inquire about the news.
In the evening, Wang Si came back, and as soon as he entered the door, he said to Wang Ke: "It's strange, today the emperor decreed that the princess of Nanping should be taken back from the princess's mansion, except for retaining the title of Princess Nanping, everything else will be withdrawn, and Princess Nanping will move back to the palace immediately." ”
Wang Ke was stunned, not knowing what this meant, whether it was good news or bad news. Hurriedly sent someone to Li Ke's house to see if Li Ke had returned home.
It didn't take long for Li Ke to come over with his subordinates, and as soon as he entered the mansion, he shouted: "This is too bad to treat me as a person!" I wanted to come back after eating, but now you have not eaten a bite before you call someone to look for me. No, you'll have to pay me for this meal today! ”
Wang Ke said eagerly: "Let's talk about what's going on first." I'll cook the good things myself and do it for you; No, you can go home and eat right away. ”
Li Ke hurriedly said: "Good thing, good thing! You hurry up and do it. I'll tell you more about it after eating. ”
Wang Ke still didn't believe it, and asked again: "What a good thing?" ”
Li Ke was impatient: "That's a good thing! Go ahead and do it, I'm hungry and I won't say anything! ”
Wang Ke went to the kitchen with confidence. After a while, a table of dishes was put up, and the three of them sat down, and Li Ke was not polite, drinking wine while eating the dishes. Wang Ke really didn't dare to urge him at this time, for fear that he wouldn't be able to fall into his stomach if he didn't say anything.
Finally waiting for Li Ke to put down the chopsticks, Wang Ke hurriedly asked, "What's going on?" ”
Li Ke pointed to the dishes on the table and asked, "Why don't you eat some?" Look at you didn't move. ”
Wang Si said with a smile next to him: "Your Highness, don't tease him, hurry up." You don't say he can't eat it. ”
Nanping only retains the title, and all others will be withdrawn, and he will immediately move back to the palace to live. You know that, right? Li Ke asked slowly.
Wang Ke said impatiently: "I know, I just asked you what's going on." ”
Li Ke said unhurriedly: "Today, Lanling and Nanping entered the palace one after the other, and told the queen about it, which showed their attitude. Several princesses also took turns to intercede with you before. finally made the queen mother's heart move. After the next dynasty, the queen mother talked to her father for a long time, and her father invited Lord Fang and Lord Du to discuss. ”
Wang Si interjected on the side: "Yes, the emperor is talking to us, Gonggong Yang came to ask the queen to ask the emperor to go up, and after entering, he came out to pass on Lord Fang and Lord Du to go in." It took a long time to come out, and when I came out, I made an order, and asked the two adults, but no one said anything. ”
Li Ke said with a smile: "I guess this matter is the idea of the magnifying people and Lord Du." In this way, Nanping has nothing to do with the former Wang Jingzhi family. Moving back to the palace means that Nanping is now just a princess to be married, and she can marry out at any time. ”
Wang Ke still didn't understand, and asked again: "What is the connection between Nanping marrying or not marrying and the princess's mansion that accepts her?" ”
Li Ke rolled his eyes, and had to explain patiently: "Only the princess who marries out can build a princess's mansion outside." You said that Nanping is still living in the current princess's mansion, is it possible to let her marry again? She still has the name of a surviving member of the Wang family on her head! ”
Wang Ke then understood, but in a blink of an eye he asked again: "What does Lanling say over there, the emperor won't really let people say that he is going back on his word." ”
Li Ke laughed angrily and scolded: "You are really a liar." Do you really want to marry my two sisters? I don't know, though. I think tomorrow my father will announce that you will go to court, don't you know everything when you go? ”
Wang Si heard that the matter was resolved, and no matter which princess the emperor asked Wang Ke to marry, as long as Wang Ke could save his life, he would be satisfied, and hurriedly said: "Ke'er, won't you know everything in the court tomorrow?" Don't worry. ”
Li Ke smiled: "I'm done, I'm full, you should send me back." ”
Wang Ke felt a little hungry when Li Ke said this, grabbed the chopsticks, and said while eating: "What's the panic, I'll give it to you when I'm done eating." If you're not in a hurry, you can go by yourself. ”
Li Ke laughed.
