Look at Li Shimin limping back.
Li Ke couldn't help but smile bitterly.
He had no choice but to quickly catch up with Li Shimin.
First, she supported his arm and saw that he was in pain.
Li Ke couldn't bear it, so he ran to him, knelt down and said, "Father, let me carry you."
"Use you?"
Li Shimin also said with a proud face: "You are the current prince, and I am the current emperor. If others see me, how will I behave?"
This is actually true.
If someone saw Li Ke carrying Li Shimin on his back, although no one would say that Li Shimin bullied his son, there would definitely be some gossip.
And most of the gossip will probably revolve around Li Chengqian and the crown prince's position.
But isn’t there time to avoid tabooing these things?
At that moment, Li Shimin was really stretched to his waist, and there were big beads of sweat on his painful forehead.
This was not the time for him to be harsh.
And Li Ke also thought of Li Chengqian.
He even thought to himself, what would the emperor do if he encountered such a thing?
After thinking about it, Li Ke's expression also changed a bit.
He glanced at Li Shimin with an embarrassed look on his face and said, "Father, please forgive me!"
Hearing this, Li Shimin was also stunned.
But before he could react, he felt his whole body light up, and his whole body had fallen on Li Ke's back.
Then, Li Ke also grabbed Li Shimin's thigh and trotted towards Kunning Palace.
Seeing him like this, Li Shimin also patted his shoulders repeatedly and said: "Put me down, I order you!"
"If the father wants to punish the sins of his son, then let's wait until the father is cured."
Li Ke rarely said forcefully: "Besides, my father also carried our brothers on his back when they were young. Now that we have grown up, what's the harm in carrying our father's back?"
Hearing this, Li Shimin was a little dumbfounded.
He said directly: "Aren't you afraid that tomorrow there will be rumors in the court that I am too close to you and that I want to replace the prince?"
"Just pass it on."
"Anyway, I know that the best candidate for the crown prince is Brother Huang."
Li Ke said directly: "And I am sure that the emperor will never fall out with me over such a trivial matter."
Hearing this, Li Shimin was also stunned.
In an instant, he stopped struggling and became quiet.
Then, he looked up at the name in the sky and chuckled: "The fact that you have such thoughts proves that you have really grown up."
"You look so much like me. You are exactly the same as me."
"But it is precisely because of this that even if your brother does not become the prince, you cannot inherit this world."
"Because the emergence of a second Li Shimin will not be of any benefit to the world."
When he heard this, Li Ke's body was obviously shaken.
But he didn't say anything, and still trotted forward minding his own business.
And Li Shimin also noticed his changes.
He immediately asked very directly: "You won't blame me or your imperial brother for this, right?"
"I used to."
"Not now."
Li Ke also said truthfully: "Because I also have self-awareness and know that I am not that material, and I do not have the strength to shoulder the burden of my father."
"That's good, that's good..."
In the blink of an eye, Kunning Palace was already within easy reach.
At this point, Li Ke also slowly put Li Shimin down.
Then, he took a step to call someone.
But at this moment, Li Shimin stopped him.
He said: "You go in with me."
"ah?"
Li Ke was stunned, looked at Li Shimin with a shocked face and said: "Father, are you kidding me?"
"If my mother sees me..."
"What do you think of you?"
"Aren't you willing to be a commoner just for Ting'er?"
Li Shimin looked directly at Li Ke and said, "Now I just want you to see your mother, but you don't dare?"
Hearing this, Li Ke bit his lip tightly.
Then, without any hesitation, he followed Li Shimin into the Kunning Palace.
At this time, it was actually very late.
If it were other concubines, they would basically be ready to turn off the lights and go to bed at this time.
But Queen Changsun is an exception.
One is because Queen Changsun has just given birth to a princess.
The second reason is that Queen Changsun knew Li Shimin well and knew that if this guy rested at the right time, he would eventually come to her.
And because of this, the lights in Kunning Palace are brightly lit at this moment.
Some palace maids and eunuchs were already waiting at the palace gate.
The first time Li Shimin entered the palace gate, a eunuch sang loudly: "Your Majesty has arrived!"
After shouting this, everyone knelt down and knelt down to worship: "Slave, please pay homage to Your Majesty..."
"no!"
Li Shimin waved his hands indiscriminately and walked inside.
Li Ke, on the other hand, held his arm and walked with him.
When the two entered the palace, Queen Changsun happened to greet them.
"Greetings to Your Majesty."
Empress Changsun bowed her head first and bowed, then raised her head.
And when she saw that Li Ke came with Li Shimin, she couldn't help but be stunned.
She raised her eyebrows and looked at Li Shimin, her eyes full of doubts.
You know, to avoid embarrassment.
Empress Changsun even spared Li Ke's visit.
But now, Li Shimin will bring him here.
Queen Changsun really didn't understand what Li Shimin meant.
And looking at her appearance, Li Shimin also felt a little guilty.
He cleared his throat and said, "Ke'er, why don't you show your mother the gift?"
After hearing this, Li Ke woke up from a dream.
He let go of Li Shimin's arm, faced Empress Changsun and said, "My son, please pay homage to your mother."
"no!"
Empress Changsun waved her hand and said, "Why is Your Majesty so interested in bringing the King of Shu to my place today?"
"Hi."
"Isn't this a coincidence?"
Li Shimin said lightly: "When I went out today, I accidentally fell and lost my waist. It was Ke'er who carried me back."
"So this is ah."
Hearing this, Empress Changsun chuckled lightly, looked at Li Ke and said, "Ke'er has a sincere filial piety and deserves to be rewarded."
Li Ke laughed dryly, arched his body and said, "The Queen Mother is out of sight."
If you ask about the Tang Dynasty today, who is the most glorious?
It was nothing more than just two people.
One is Li Chengqian, and the other is Li Ke.
Not counting the merits of governing the Shu region, just being the head of the Wuyan Academy is enough to make all the ministers bend their backs.
Li Ke's majestic appearance is no worse than that of Li Chengqian.
But in front of Queen Changsun, he did not dare to reveal it at all.
Of course, this was indeed because he had hurt Changsun Pingting.
But most of all, she was overwhelmed by the momentum of Queen Changsun and couldn't hold her head up.
Seeing Li Ke's current appearance, Queen Changsun's smile deepened.
Then, she waved her hand gently and said, "Thank you for your hard work today. If nothing happens, Ke'er, you can go back first."
"My son..."
Li Ke, who was almost out of breath under the pressure of Queen Changsun, almost said goodbye and ran away on the spot.
But before he could say this, Li Shimin glared and said, "It's okay if your mother didn't ask. Now that I ask, why don't you quickly tell your mother the truth about what you just said to me?"
Hearing this, Li Ke couldn't help but raise his head and glance at Li Shimin, and then he cupped his hands to Queen Changsun and said: "My son, I came today to apologize to my mother and the Changsun family..."
