Chapter 214
Three-party convergence
Li Ke blamed Li Yan. Li Yan had not spoken yet, but Li Rong beside him pulled Li Ke's sleeves coquettishly and said, "Third Brother, don't blame Brother Six, okay? It's Rong'er because he hasn't seen Brother Three for a long time and misses you very much. Therefore, I heard from my mother that you have returned to Chang'an last night, and I have not had time to see you this morning, so I begged Brother Six to take Rong'er to see Brother Third at this time."
Li Ke glanced at Princess Gaoyang, who was already graceful and beautiful, touched her head, and chuckled softly, "For brother, I know that you are a troublemaker, otherwise how could he have such courage?"
Li Ke said this because in the side hall of Tai Chi Hall where he is now, he is either a minister in the court or an envoy of the four countries. Although Li Rong is still young, she is like a budding girl, beautiful and noble, and how can she run around as a princess? Therefore, he said that Li Yan does not have such courage.
"Sixth brother, where do you take the three of them to your mother's place first? After the banquet, I will go to Qianqiu Palace to pay my respects to my mother's mother." Li Ke said seriously to Li Yan. He did not expect his younger brother to help him in his future struggle for the crown prince, as long as he can be less naughty than the one in history.
"Third brother, we won't go. Jing'er has a lot to say to you." Princess Qinghe Li Jing grabbed Li Ke's hand and said coquettishly.
"Be good at Jing'er and Rong'er, you have to listen to the third brother. You and your sixth brother go to your mother's concubine first. When the banquet is over, the third brother will go to your mother's bedroom to tell you stories?" Li Ke was very fond of Li Rong and Li Jing, so he could only use this method of coaxing.
"Well, Rong'er listens to the third brother, and now she will go back with the sixth brother." Li Rong said obediently.
"Jing'er also listened to the third brother and went back with the sixth brother now." Li Jing also said obediently.
When Li Yan took Li Rong, Li Jing and Li Xueyan left, Li Ke looked at their disappearing backs and vowed in his heart that he must protect his two sisters so that they would not have any tragedy in their marriage like in history.
"Oh - isn't this the King of Han of the Tang Dynasty?" Just as Li Ke was out of sight, a charming and soft voice beside him greeted, "Fusang Deputy Envoy Rieko Morita has met the King of Han of the Tang Dynasty!"
Li Ke was interrupted by this greeting and turned his gaze to the woman talking in front of him. It has to be said that Princess Fusang is indeed a bit beautiful. She is petite and has a bit more graceful like a woman in Jiangnan in the Tang Dynasty. Her beautiful face reveals a breath of youth, but Princess Fusang in front of her has an extra charm, which makes Li Ke a little disgusted.
"You are Princess Fusang Shengtian?" Li Ke had already learned about Princess Fusang from Li Tai's mouth, and he asked in surprise at this time.
"The little girl is really a princess, but she is not Princess Morita, but Princess Yinglu." Princess Fusang said in Chinese. Li Ke was not surprised at all about her Chinese language. During the Sui Dynasty, Japan had already sent envoys to go to Sandazi twice, so it was not surprising that they deliberately learned Chinese for this Tang envoy. Just like in order to win over foreigners, it was not surprising that the ministers in China could learn birds to flatter.
"Oh--the small country of Fusang, I don't know your etiquette. Please ask the princess to atone for his sins!" Li Ke's words showed a trace of disdain.
The disdain in Li Ke's words naturally understood the Fusang Princess, but she still said kindly, "The small country of Fusang is indeed not comparable to the etiquette country of the Tang Dynasty. Therefore, we Fusang traveled thousands of miles to learn the cultural knowledge of the Tang Dynasty. There are still many things we don't understand in the future. Please give us your Highness the King of Han to give us guidance!"
"Well——" Before Li Ke could speak, he heard someone say, "His Highness of the King of Han in the Tang Dynasty spread the world with kindness. How could he be the kind of person who cherishes his own purity? Princess Yinglu, you are too rude, how could you speak to His Highness of the King of Han like this?"
As soon as Li Ke finished speaking, he saw two men wearing Japanese kimono walking towards him. He naturally knew that they were the other two messengers of Fusang, Tukami Mita and Pharmacist Huiri. Moreover, Li Ke was sure that the words just now were said by Tukami Mita. This Japanese had sent Sui twice. He was definitely quite familiar with Tang culture. It is definitely not surprising that he could say the idiom "Big Broom" by Ziyuan. Besides the two sent Sui dogs by Ziyuan, Li Ke really couldn't think of anyone else who could say Fusang.
"What are you two?" Li Ke asked in surprise. Through the conversation just now, he could see that the two of them were a little incompatible with Princess Fusang.
"The Fusang envoy, the dog, is a sacred man. The pharmacist Huiri, has met His Highness the King of Han in the Tang Dynasty!" The two of them bowed greatly to Li Ke and gave a great gift.
"It turns out they are the two messengers of Fusang, please get up!" Li Ke said lightly, with an obvious expression of impatientness in his tone, but the two Fusang people were thick-skinned and didn't care about the anger in Li Ke at all. When the Fusang princess on the side saw that the Inuka Mita-sama and the pharmacist Huiri started talking to Li Ke, she became obedient and said nothing silently, but just stood respectfully aside.
As envoys to the Tang Dynasty, Mita-Shi and Pharmacist Huiri were naturally very proficient in Chinese and could talk to Li Ke freely. Although Li Ke was very annoyed by the two, he could only patiently listen to the two of them because of the Tang Dynasty's politeness to the envoys.
"Well - isn't this His Royal Highness of the Han King of the Tang Dynasty? I'm so lucky to see you here!" Just as Mita-Sui and the pharmacist Huiri told Li Ke endlessly about their purpose of their visit, Li Ke saw two men, one old and one young men wearing grassland nomadic costumes, and two middle-aged men wearing silk clothes that were different from the Tang Dynasty, interrupting their conversations.
"You--" Li Ke asked politely, but before he could finish his words, the two middle-aged men in silk clothes politely said to him, "Goryeo envoy Gao Shouyan, Li Siqi has met His Highness the King of Han!"
"It turns out that they are the Goryeo envoys, so you don't have to be too polite!" Li Ke stopped them and said.
"The Tuyuhun envoy Zuoxian King Fuzhen, Prince Murongshun has met His Highness the King of Han in the Tang Dynasty!" The two of them hugged their arms in their right hands and saluted Li Ke.
"The prince and Zuo Xianwang don't need to be too polite!" Li Ke said.
The envoys of the Three Kingdoms met together. After they gave Li Ke a greeting, they didn't know what to say for a moment. Li Ke and Le Yi saw the embarrassment of the three parties, so he also began to remain silent. However, at this time, the bell of the hall rang, indicating that the banquet was about to begin.
Li Ke immediately said, "The banquet is about to begin, please follow me to the banquet!"
"Thank you, Your Highness!"
"Please, Your Highness!"
Everyone followed Li Ke politely to Tai Chi Hall. Everyone followed Li Ke into the hall. The palace maids were waiting at the door. When they saw Li Ke, they first gave Li Ke, and then led the envoys of the Three Kingdoms to the position they arranged for them. Li Ke immediately returned to the position of the royal family members arranged for him.
