Chapter 231 Seeing Rieko Morita again
Chapter 231 See Rieko Morita again
In the evening, it was already Wu's hour when Li Ke returned to his mansion.
During the day, he and his good brothers Chai Zhewei, Li Zong and Yuchi Jun were eating and drinking, and they were simply back to the happy days of "Five Tigers and One Tai Sui" in the capital, but now he lacks Qin Huaiyu and Cheng Huailiang. There is no big complaints about Qin Huaiyu and Cheng Huailiang and Li Ke. Not only does he have no complaints, but he hopes that they can live a good life in his heart. As Li Ke thought, they did live a good life, at least better than when they were with him.
Because Cheng Huailiang is now in the Yizhou Prefecture Army, commanding the army of Yizhou Prefecture. If he develops as he is now, his future will be limitless. Although Qin Huaiyu has not served in a foreign position, because Qin Qiong has been ill and needs someone to take care of him, Li Shimin also granted him the military position of Qianniuwei School Captain. If one day he wants to serve in the local area, with his qualifications as Qianniuwei, he can be awarded the military position of Guoyi as the youngest.
Chai Zhewei, Li Zong and Yuchi Jun were very surprised that Li Ke had time to go out and stroll around Chang'an City. In the past five days, except for Li Ke who went to the Hou Mansion twice and did not follow him, they led Li Ke through the streets and alleys, and searched the places where Chang'an City eats, drinks and plays, and the cost was naturally paid by Chai Zhewei. Today, after they came out of a restaurant in Youming, Li Ke could not resist Chai Zhewei's inspiration and came to the yard of Chang'lefang to listen to a few songs. Therefore, it was already so late to return to the mansion.
Li Ke returned to the mansion and just came to the study room. Before he could open the book on his desk, he saw Yang En pushing the door open as if he was in. He said, "Your Highness, someone has sent you a letter outside the door." Then, he handed a envelope to Li Ke.
Seeing that the envelope was not sealed, Li Ke took out a note from it. There were only dozens of words on it, but Li Ke smiled slightly after reading it. Yang En was surprised and was about to ask Li Ke why he wanted to laugh, but suddenly he seemed to understand something in his heart, and looked at Li Ke without saying a word.
Then, seeing that Li Ke had no instructions, Yang En dismissed Li Ke from the study room. Li Ke put the letter into the envelope, put the envelope in the pavilion of the desk, picked up the book on the desk and began to read it attentively.
The next day, Li Ke led more than 50 Eagle Guards including Chen Qi out of Chang'an City and headed straight for the Wei River. In less than a stick of incense, fifty horses rushed to the Willow Bridge in Wei River. When everyone saw the woman in white clothes and looks like a fairy on the bridge, everyone understood the purpose of Li Ke coming here.
Jumping off the horse, Li Ke stepped onto the willow bridge. The breeze in July passed slowly, blew the long flowing hair of the woman on the bridge, making her look like a holy fairy. At this time, Li Ke had already walked onto the willow bridge, and when he saw this scene, he couldn't help but be fooled. After a while, he shouted softly, "Bing Ning!"
"Hmph! I thought you wouldn't come out again when you linger in the tram?" Changsun Bingning was awakened by Li Ke, turned around and said to Li Ke.
Li Ke knew that Changsun Bingning was angry because he and Chai Zhewei and others went to Changlefang to listen to music last night, so he smiled and took Changsun Bingning's hand and said, "How could that be? After you sent me a letter last night, Isn't this king coming out today?"
"Hmph! If I didn't deliver a letter to you, you wouldn't have looked for me on your own initiative, right?" Changsun Bingning said resentfully.
Li Ke has never thought about looking for her these days. First, because of Hou Ruoyi's affairs, it is difficult for him to find a balance between Hou Ruoyi and Changsun Bingning. Second, he and Chai Zhewei, Li Zong and Yuchi Jun have been together for a long time. He wants to take this time to get together with them. Changsun Bingning is a girl's house and is Changsun Wuji's daughter. If she joins in the middle, the atmosphere will definitely be embarrassing. Therefore, for these two reasons, he is free these days.
I never looked for Changsun Bingning when I was free. Now, Changsun Bingning took the initiative to ask him and said such resentful words. Li Ke really felt that his decision was a bit lacking, so he said softly, "Bingning, why didn't I look for you? The reason why I didn't look for you these days is just to go to your brothers later and to relive my past life with them. After all, I don't know when I will have the chance to go back to Chang'an after I return to Taiyuan this time!"
Li Ke's last sentence was very sad, which made Changsun Bing, who wanted to continue to question, swallowed it down to his lips, but instead looked at Li Ke with concern. Li Ke did not notice the expression of Changsun Bingning's face, and continued to look away, "This time, I have another purpose to return to Taiyuan to bring you back to Taiyuan, but I don't know what you think in your heart, and what you mean. Besides, I know that you are a filial girl. If you really tell you this matter, you will definitely make a choice between me and Changsun Wuji. There are many choices that are very difficult and painful. Therefore, I did not go to you, for fear that saying these words to you will make you feel embarrassed."
"Your Highness, I know what you mean," Changsun Bingning suddenly spoke, without giving Li Ke another chance to continue, "Bingning feels about going back to Taiyuan with you."
What Li Ke said to Changsun Bingning was true. He had thought from Taiyuan that he would take Changsun Bingning and Hou Ruoyi with him this time when he was Chang'an. However, Hou Ruoyi refused twice to let him not even have a chance to meet, let alone discuss with Hou Ruoyi about how to take her back to Taiyuan. For Changsun Bingning, he originally wanted to tell him before leaving that the time for her to make a choice would be shorter, which would reduce the pain of her choosing between herself and her raising grace. But last night, Changsun Bingning knew that she had gone to Changlefang's teaching house, so she sent a letter to ask him to come out to meet. She was obviously very concerned about him, so Li Ke couldn't help but say it. Now, when he heard that Hou Ruoyi had agreed to go back to Taiyuan with her, Li Ke was ecstatic and couldn't help but hugging her in his arms.
Changsun Bingning snuggled obediently in Li Ke's arms, closed her eyes and enjoyed the warmth of this moment, like a cute little sheep.
The sun is scorching in the sky, willow branches are flying on the earth, the stream flows under the willow bridge, and the man and woman are beautiful on the willow bridge. All these scenery is just for the two of them to lean on each other, and instantly forms a quiet gouache painting.
Li Ke and Changsun Bingning were chatting together on the willow bridge. Before they knew it, it was noon. Li Ke looked at the sky and felt that time passed so quickly, and the surprised expression on Changsun Bingning's face also contained this meaning. Li Ke and Changsun Bingning spent most of their time playing and playing on the willow bridge. Therefore, when they stopped, they found that they were a little hungry. Li Ke suggested that Changsun Bingning go back to Chang'an City to find a restaurant to have dinner. Changsun Bingning obediently agreed to Li Ke's proposal, and the two returned to Chang'an City under the escort of the Eagle Guard.
Back in Chang'an City, Li Ke found a well-known restaurant, private room and Changsun Bingning started to have lunch. During the meal, neither Li Ke nor Changsun Bingning both spoke, and both had a quiet meal. After the meal, the two walked out of the restaurant and began to wander aimlessly on the street.
Any street in Chang'an City is very prosperous, with bustling restaurants, crowded restaurants, famous shops, bustling small vendors, laughing and joking young men, and beautiful parades. All of this shows the weathering of the opening of the Tang Dynasty. Changsun Bingning, who was walking among the crowd, suddenly took the initiative to hold Li Ke's hand. Li Ke was not surprised. He just glanced at Changsun Bingning with his eyes and held Changsun Bingning's hand tightly. The two began to stroll on the noisy and noisy street.
The black-clothed guard who returned to Chang'an City was sent back to the mansion by Li Ke. Now, the spy from the Chang'an City intelligence system and the private members of the six Taibaos around him were secretly defending him. Therefore, when he and Changsun Bingning were in the crowd, they wanted to be an ordinary couple, which attracted no one else's attention at all. If they insisted on attracting others' attention, it was only Changsun Bingning's beautiful face that had such an effect. However, the atmosphere of the Tang Dynasty was open, and women on the streets were generally dressed very beautifully, while rich women took to the streets to play a lot. Therefore, it was very common for a beautiful woman to appear in the crowd, and it would not attract too much attention.
So, Li Ke and Changsun Bingning crossed two streets, turned a few alleys and walked to Zhuque Street. As soon as the two stepped into Zhuque Street, Li Ke couldn't help but be surprised, "Why is she here?" As he spoke, Li Ke stopped and looked not far ahead.
"Who is Your Highness talking about?" Changsun Bingning also stopped at the same time and looked forward along Li Ke's gaze.
"Who else can you? It's Rieko Fusang Morita!" Li Ke said here, and said in confusion, "Hey, why are there more and more people there? What's going on?"
"Why don't we go over and take a look?" Changsun Bingning was very curious and sought Li Ke's opinion.
"Okay, then let's go over and take a look!" Li Ke smiled at Changsun Bingning, and then the two of them walked quickly towards the crowd ahead. The Eagle Guard, who was secretly wearing casual clothes, understood Li Ke's intentions, and three or four people stepped forward and deliberately squeezed out a road, sending Li Ke and Changsun Bingning to the crowd easily.
