Spring water in the south and north of the house (4)
"Brother Ke......" She couldn't help but call out softly, Li Ke heard the voice and opened his eyes to look at her.
"Xiang'er......" Seeing that she didn't speak, Li Ke couldn't help but sigh and called, "I know you have never liked these...... When you go back to the palace this time, you just think it's a recuperation...... No matter what Fang Yiai says to you, you don't want to listen to him. I'll take care of these things...... Don't get involved!! ”
His eyes were bloodshot, his fingers trembling a little, and his voice was a little low...... It's all a sign of overtiredness. And now...... He wanted to stay out of it. Xiao Xiang's heart seemed to have been hit by something, and she felt a faint pain, she knew that Li Ke was protecting her.
After all, if you are involved in the battle for succession, if you fail, you will die without a place to bury. And if you stay out of the matter, even if you are included in the Wu Wang Party, women are better for those in power, after all, Wu Zetian has not yet stepped onto the stage of history.
It's just that...... Her eyes were a little red, Li Ke treated her like this, no matter what the considerations, she couldn't be idle anymore. Could it be that she has lived aggrieved all her life, like a turtle with a shrunken head?
In fact, there are still some regrets in my heart, if I can strengthen my confidence when I first arrive in Datang, I am afraid I will not marry Fang Yiai...... Although he wanted to change his fate, he only focused on his own tinyness, and never thought that in this political rapids, he could only go in the general direction. If history does not change, I am afraid that it can only be an illusion if I want to change the final outcome. Blindly evading and forbearing, in exchange for failure, can only be defeated.
Now, Li Chengqian is dead, and everything is back to the beginning of the unknown, so let's start now...... She looked up. There was a determined glint in his eyes: "Brother Ke, you must get the throne!" ”
Li Ke obviously didn't expect her to say this, and couldn't help but be stunned on the spot. Mobile station
Xiao Xiang took a deep breath: "I said, Brother Ke." In order for us to live happily, you must inherit the throne!! ”
Li Ke looked at her for a long time, and then nodded firmly: "I will definitely do it." Not only for myself, but also for you! A sincere smile bloomed on his lips, shining in the early winter sun. Like a diamond.
Xiao Xiang also exhaled a long breath, then, everything should go in this direction. It is impossible to predict the future now, so we can only follow the current situation step by step.
Whether the decision is right or wrong...... It's all done, she closes her eyes, and feels a lot lighter in her heart.
I don't know if it was because of Cheng Qian's death that Li Shimin felt that he was "incorruptible and old", and every month after that, he would summon his children in Beijing to the palace. to tell the family.
She entered the palace with Li Ke, but did not return to the Ganlu Palace, but went towards the Ruyi Pavilion.
That was where Concubine Yang lived before her death. Xiao Xiang can never forget. The long funeral procession at that time...... The pale spirit flags danced in the air, like countless souls.
Ruyi Pavilion after the death of Concubine Yang. There were no other occupancy. Everything is the same as before, with no changes. It's just that the hall that was used for the rest of the soul is empty, only the breeze blows the white veil, like a fading memory.
Xiao Xiang stood in the center of the hall, and seemed to be able to smell the faint sandalwood in the air. It was a vague reminder of what had happened here...... The first betrayal she experienced in Datang was here in Mo Wu...... She secretly thought about this name in her heart, and she didn't know for what reason Mo Wu would frame her like that at that time...... But all this is already unknowable, like water passing away, never looking back.
"Xiang'er ......" A long sigh came from behind, and then she fell into a warm embrace. Different from the sandalwood on the body, Li Ke has a faint orchid incense, which is commonly used by the nobles of the Tang Palace. It's just that there is something else mixed in with him, although I don't know what it is, but it is even more elegant.
Xiao Xiang couldn't help but shake her body, she hadn't forgotten Li Ke's confession, but ...... She took a deep breath, turned back with a light smile, and withdrew from his arms lightly: "Brother Ke, don't touch the scene." ”
occasionally reminded Li Ke that this is where Concubine Yang once lived. Well... It seems that she has to find an opportunity to have an open and honest talk with Li Ke, and no matter what, she must dispel his abnormal feelings.
But now is not the best time.
Li Ke's face was cloudy, a few unclear lights flashed in his eyes, and he changed into a gentle smile after a while: "Come in and change your clothes, if you dress like this, you will be rude in front of your father." ”
Xiao Xiang lowered his head: he was dressed in water-blue casual clothes, and he looked just an ordinary little jasper. I was in a hurry in the morning, and I didn't even apply more fat powder, and a small bean appeared on my chin...... Not at all like a princess.
She originally wanted to enter the house, but suddenly turned her eyes and said with a smile: "I'll wear this to see my father." ”
A hint of surprise flashed in Li Ke's eyes, and he frowned a little puzzled.
Xiao Xiang still smiled sweetly: "You go and change your clothes, but ...... Plain is best. Li Ke glanced at her again, as if he understood something, and nodded his head...... When the two of them appeared in the Taiji Hall, the people around them all cast surprised eyes.
Xiao Xiang's clothes haven't changed, and he already looks very plain and unsightly. And Li Ke changed his usual elegant and noble style and changed into a burlap shirt. The pale gray color has become a little old, and I really don't know why he has such clothes.
The eunuch in charge of the report saw the clothes of the two, and he was stunned on the spot, until Xiao Xiang walked in front of him, he came back to his senses, and hurriedly said loudly: "His Royal Highness King Wu, Princess Gaoyang is here ......."
Xiao Xiang didn't pay attention to these people, and walked quickly with a smile on his face.
Li Shimin and the princes were already sitting at the banquet, and the two of them came very late, but Li Shimin was not displeased at all. However, when he saw the clothes and ornaments of the two, he was stunned like everyone else. But after all, he was Li Shimin, and this stunned was only for a moment, and he recovered immediately.
And Xiao Xiang didn't wait for him to speak, so he bowed down with a smile: what he did was not the courtesy of the monarch and the minister, but just the etiquette of the daughter when she saw her father in an ordinary family.
"Xiang'er has seen her father." She deliberately didn't use her father, but used the word father.
Among the heavenly families, what is most lacking is the real family, right? No matter how good the emperor is, in his heart, he still hopes to have such a real family happiness.
Emperors, too, are people.
