Chapter 365: The Best and the Most Disliked
Bang!
A cup of herbal tea poured on Li Ke's face and made a crisp sound. Li Er's smile disappeared, and he was not angry. He even threw the handkerchief on the table to Li Ke, and said indifferently.
"I didn't kill Li You. Tell me when you discovered that I began to use you."
Li Ke wiped the water stains on his face and said with a self-deprecating gaze.
"Since my mother asked me to eat hard, I was a little fat when I first met Wei Jiu. I was young at that time, but I felt something was wrong. But then you scolded me and asked me not to eat as bloated as Qingque. Saying that fat would give people a stupid feeling. At that time, I understood something. Qingque was a naive person in your eyes because you didn't care how others looked at him, but Erchen was stupid because Erchen had to face the eyes of some officials."
"Very smart, follow me!"
Li Er was not angry at all, but was a little relieved. From what Li Ke said just now, Li Er was really relieved. Li Ke was very smart and had a sense of cruelty in his heart. Li Er gestured to the toad in the distance, and the toad turned around to prepare. At this time, Li Er said again.
"Now, you and I are the only ones in the Royal Garden. If you want to, just say it."
Li Ke put down his handkerchief and said softly.
"I have never hidden myself. I just thought that some things should be said when you were the emperor. In fact, I know in my heart that you have never thought about killing me. The premise is that I have no desire for the throne, but you will not stop others from wanting to get rid of me. My existence is a mistake. In fact, I should be like Li Yan, who is stupid and only knows to cause trouble. I don't blame my mother because she gave me life. If she doesn't choose to protect me, she might live a better life."
"But in fact, you are better than all princes. Some people will be upset that you are stupid, some people will be upset that you are not good at your skills, and some people will be jealous of others' appearance. You never need to envy or be jealous of these, because these have become your trouble."
As a father, how could he not understand his child? Li Er looked at Li Ke with one hand, his eyes became kind for the first time, and he said softly.
"Ke'er, are your father too cruel and unconscience? You are always hardworking in front of me. Even if you know that I have used you, you will still follow my plan. I don't understand now. You know everything, why do you still do this? Especially in Lingnan that time."
Li Ke once again showed a self-deprecating expression and said with a smile.
"Born in the imperial family, I can't help myself. When I was born, my life was already destined. I want to become a tool that makes you useful, and to become a prince who makes your brothers not afraid of it, and finally to become a person who proves that the prince is avoiding me, Li Ke and is still powerful. Life is like this. Why bother to resist and make trouble and everyone is unhappy. I am just a person, a irrelevant King Li Ke of Wu."
"I feel very pitiful? Do you feel that my ability is just a stage where people can give wedding dresses but don't show it?"
Li Er said something he regretted. He saw this son who was more proud than any prince in the past and lowered his head with red eyes. Li Er didn't remember the last time Li Ke cried, three years ago? Five years ago? Ten years ago? Li Er discovered that he had never seen him before.
Li Ke lowered his head and spoke in a low voice.
"Yes, sometimes I feel that this world is very unfair to me, but I can't change my mind. This is my life, why should I struggle? Father, you chose the eldest brother as the prince and want to protect all princes. I want to ask, have you ever thought to yourself that my elder brother has another younger brother to protect, Li Ke?"
Li Erran was silent. He could not lie to this child at this time.
His reaction gave Li Ke an answer.
Li Ke lowered his head and remained silent. He didn't know what he should be saying. After a long time, the toad came back with the wine. Li Ke also raised his head at this time and grinned.
"Father, it's time for Erchen to leave. Wei Jiu asked Erchen to go to drink at night."
Li Er took a deep breath and said in a trembling voice.
"Drink less."
Li Ke got up and left, strode away until his figure was about to disappear, and Li Er suddenly shouted.
"Ke'er, how did you know my answer."
Li Ke waved his back to Li Er, without giving an answer. The toad stood aside and looked at the King of Wu who was leaving, sighed softly. After hearing this, Li Er turned his head and frowned.
"You have something to say."
The toad sighed again.
"His Royal Highness of Jin is in Andong. You have written more than a hundred letters to ask if he is safe. Your Royal Highness of Wu has not been in the fiefdom for three years, and you have never given any condolences when you are in the Western Regions. You have never given condolences. You are often ignored, perhaps the most filial."
"Come on! Pull Dai Changqing out and hit the fifteenth board!"
The toad left with a faint smile. Li Er, who was staying in the Imperial Garden, became more and more irritable. Everything he could see in front of him made him irritable. He got up and left the Imperial Garden and went straight to Yang Fei's bedroom. Li Er stood outside the door of Yang Fei's bedroom. Looking at the bedroom where the location and decoration were not as good as a concubine, he even became even more angry. He stepped forward and kicked the closed courtyard door open and said angrily.
"Female Yang, can you learn to compete for favor like a normal woman, plant vegetables and flowers here all day long? You know that you are Concubine Yang, and those who don't know that you think there is one more in the harem........................................"
Concubine Yang, who was busy with flowers and plants in the yard, provoked Li Er somewhere. At this time, she was so scared that she knelt in the soil and waited for the arrival of anger, but Li Er was not speaking. He looked outside at the yard of Concubine Yang's bedroom in a daze.
In the small garden with flowers blooming, the small vegetable garden full of fruits, and the cherry tree that had already bear fruit, Li Tai's irritable heart suddenly calmed down. He walked past Yang Fei and entered the small vegetable garden. He bent down and stretched out his hand to pick a purple melon the size of a palm, and said in confusion.
"Did you plant the palace maids?"
Concubine Yang didn't dare to get up and said quickly.
"I planted it. If Your Majesty doesn't like it, I will clean it up."
After saying that, Concubine Yang had already reached out to grab the Maosheng Lucai, but Li Er raised his leg and kicked it away by Li Er's hand. The force was not very strong, but for Concubine Yang, this was no different from the death penalty. Li Er looked at the purple cucumber in his hand. How could he look like Li Ke? Concubine Yang's Feng Shui is good? Why did this purple cucumber look so pleasing?
Thinking of this, Li Er opened his mouth and bit off half of the purple cucumber in one bite, chewed hard, and said vaguely.
"Li Ke almost pissed me to death today. Finally, I asked him, but he ignored me and left directly. I was very angry, but I could only come to you to vent my anger. When I saw you, the other concubines tried their best to make me happy. But you are so happy, planting flowers and grass here all day long. What? You have no interest in me anymore? The more you are like this, the less I can't let you go. Come! Pick all these purple melons and give them to other concubines, telling them that I picked them from Concubine Yang, and you can cook food?"
At this time, Concubine Yang was already shocked. She watched the eunuch pick off the vegetables she couldn't bear to touch on in her usual touch, tears rolled in her eyes, nodded gently, and choked in a low voice.
"I'll know some..."
"Yes? Haha! I really don't believe it, go! Follow me to the imperial kitchen. Today your son makes me feel very uncomfortable!"
Speaking of this, Li Er paused, smashed the purple melon in his hand hard on the head of an eunuch, and cursed loudly.
"You are blind? If you don't need me, I will dig it for you. If you dare to step on one seedling, I will let you be trampled to death. Get out of useless things."
The eunuch was frightened and really got out of Li Er's sight. Then Li Er pointed at Concubine Yang and roared.
