Li Ke was watching Tian Meng make the arrangements. At least from his perspective, the aesthetics were acceptable.
Not long after he stopped here, Yang Anning came over, holding a set of clothes in her hand.
"What's wrong? The size doesn't fit?" Li Ke looked at her curiously and asked.
"No... Your Highness, this dress is too expensive..." Yang Anning was at a loss.
"You can wear whatever you want. No matter how expensive it is, I think you just don't dare to wear it. Don't worry, our family will have more of this kind of silk in the future." Li Ke said.
"Yes..." Yang Anning paused, then bowed before turning around and leaving. His Royal Highness the King of Shu knew very well that Yang Anning did not dare to wear it, because she was sure that the palace did not have this silk.
As a brothel girl, her clothes are better than those of the nobles in the palace. How can she not be worried? It wasn't that she was worried about herself, she was worried about causing any criticism to His Highness. As for herself, from the moment she decided to follow His Highness, she no longer cared about herself.
A man dies for a man who knows himself, and a woman looks good for a man who pleases her. And His Highness not only appreciates her, but also understands her, so what if her miserable life is given to His Highness.
Since His Highness said so, she will wear it.
When Yang Anning came back, several brothel girls were already waiting for her.
"What did Your Highness Sister An Ning say?" Several courtesans immediately asked.
"Your Highness said it! Everyone can wear it with confidence. Your Highness said that we will have more of this kind of silk here in the future!" Yang Anning specially emphasized the words "our family".
"Did His Highness really say that?" A woman next to her who looked no weaker than Yang Anning bit her lips and said.
"Yes! Remember, His Highness is talking about our family." Yang Anning repeated.
"Understood!" The four women around them all nodded. The five of them in total are the top names in Huiyue Tower. They are among the best in terms of appearance, figure, and talent.
"As long as you understand, His Highness asked us to wear these clothes to promote our new products, so everyone should show their best." Yang Anning nodded.
"Yes!" Several people nodded, and then quickly changed their clothes.
Li Ke didn't know this, but since these brothel girls came to him, they have shown a lot of subjective initiative.
There was still an hour before the auspicious time in the invitation, and Li Ke was already waiting outside.
Someone must have come first. It was impossible for Li Ke to just let one person in because the entire Youjian Mall was still wrapped in red silk.
The first person to come was... Li Min.
"Third brother." Li Min, who was the first to arrive, walked up to Li Ke and called out honestly.
Although Li Min was a bit of a jerk, he had great respect for Li Ke, his brother from the same mother.
"Today is a good day, so I won't hit you. I heard that you and Changle both borrowed money?" Li Ke glanced at him sideways.
Hearing Li Ke's words, Li Min immediately shrank his neck, raised his head and looked at Li Ke carefully and said: "That... third brother... I didn't mean to borrow it. It was sister Changle who heard me say that money is a little tight recently. If you take the initiative to lend it to me, I...I will..."
"You are really promising. In the early years, it was okay to need my mother-in-law to sell jewelry to support you. Now you don't even let your sister go. Why, are you going to borrow money from Jinyang in a few days? Or are you? Are you going to borrow it from Xincheng?" Li Ke got angry and said that this kid just deserves a beating.
"Third brother, I was wrong." Li Min lowered his head and said honestly.
"Okay, let's get down to business today, so I won't talk nonsense to you. Everyone will leave in the evening. You stay, and I will have a good chat with you." Li Ke said lightly.
"Yes..." Li Min's face fell instantly. He wanted to resist, but in the end he nodded honestly and agreed.
Mainly... if Li Ke hits others, maybe Li Shimin will beat Li Ke, but if Li Ke hits him... maybe his father Li Shimin will have to raise the stakes! He...he is miserable!
"Sanlang." While he was teaching Li Min, a familiar voice came over. Li Ke raised his head and looked over in surprise. It was Li Chengqian. He didn't expect that he came so early. There was a beauty beside Li Chengqian, supporting him. .
"I've met my elder brother and sister-in-law."
"I've met my eldest brother and sister-in-law." Li Ke and Li Min both clasped their fists and saluted.
"Liu Lang is here too." Li Chengqian smiled, and the Crown Princess Su Fei next to him also smiled and greeted the two of them.
"Brother, if you have trouble with your legs and feet, you can just take a carriage and come here. Why did you come here?" Li Ke said generously. This year, Li Chengqian's foot disease felt more serious, but it has to be said that later generations rebelled because of Li Chengqian. For this reason, historical records about him are often biased.
At least at this time, Li Chengqian can definitely be called a good prince and a good big brother.
"Sanlang, you finally want to do something. On such a big day, it's not appropriate for me to come here directly by carriage." Li Chengqian smiled. He was also a little surprised by Li Ke's words. If it were another person, Li Chengqian might just go directly It became popular, and everyone around him knew that Li Chengqian was most afraid of others talking about his feet.
He thought that he was not disabled yet, but Li Ke... He had always been straightforward. He said whatever he said and his actions reflected his inner thoughts. Therefore, Li Chengqian was not unhappy. Instead, he felt that Li Ke was inferior to Li Taiyi. It's like the sky and the earth. Although the two are not the same mother, Li Ke really treats him as a big brother.
"Actually, eldest brother came here to apologize to you on behalf of Uncle Qi." Li Chengqian said again.
"Stop, brother, stop talking. It's his fault, it has nothing to do with you, brother." Li Ke stopped Li Chengqian's apology simply.
Li Chengqian wanted to say something else, but a group of people came over from a distance, so Li Chengqian could only shut up.
The visitors were Cheng Huailiang and Yuchi Baolin. Li Ke quickly became busy because the people he invited had already arrived one after another.
The time is coming soon, but everyone is still chatting at the entrance of the mall, and Li Ke has no intention of letting anyone in yet.
"Third brother, what do you mean? Isn't it time soon? Aren't you allowed to go in?" Li Tai said in a strange way. He was a little fat, and it was really uncomfortable to stand here. Mainly because everyone was It was impossible for him to find a chair while standing.
The only person sitting at the scene was Li Chengqian. It was Li Ke who sent someone to find a chair and forced Li Chengqian to sit down.
There was already a crowd of people standing outside one of the shopping malls. It seemed that some of the important ministers themselves had not come, but their families had all arrived.
"Why are you so anxious? Aren't there a few people who haven't arrived yet?" Li Ke glared at Li Tai. Others were afraid of him, but Li Ke was not afraid at all.
But he was also muttering in his heart, what happened to Changle and the others, why didn't they come? Didn't she send someone to say she would arrive early? It's time and I haven't seen anyone yet. Could it be that... I was stopped by dad? That's not right. If she stopped him, she would definitely send someone out of the palace to tell her.
What else did Li Tai want to say, but the crisp sound of horse hooves suddenly came from the distance, and then Chang Lin's riding figure appeared in front, and his voice also came.
"Your Majesty has arrived!"
