Datang: From exiled prince to eternal tyrant

Chapter 377
Du Ruhui already knew that the emperor had entrusted him with the affairs of the Japanese kingdom, so he naturally had to ask the King of Shu for advice.

"Let Master Du decide."

Li Ke said.

He believed that with Du Ruhui's ability, these things would naturally be handled properly.

"Your Highness."

"Now the surrounding countries have surrendered, but the Nanzhao Kingdom and the Zhang Zhung Kingdom are still at odds over the territory you left them."

"Facing the fat of Tubo, it is hard to guarantee that Turks will not make a comeback."

Li Ke naturally thought about this.

At the beginning, the land was reserved for Nanzhao and Xiangxiong to let the two parties fight each other, and Datang could reap the benefits.

After he returned to Shu, he would naturally contact the Zhang Zhung Kingdom, after all, the two sides had trade relations.

After a few people discussed the state affairs, they left separately.

Li Ke stayed in Chang'an for a few more days before returning to Shu.

After being out for so long, he really missed his little wife at home.

"I'll go home first."

Seeing that the city gate was right in front of him, Li Ke said to the people following him.

Then he raised his hand and whipped his horse's hooves flying, and one man and one horse entered the city gate at the fastest speed.

Seeing the familiar attire, the people near the city gate cheered happily.

This man is the god of their Shu land.

Shu Wang Li Ke.

"Please make room for me, I'll go home first."

Li Ke looked at the people who welcomed him with a smile and said.

When everyone heard that their king of Shu missed his wife, they immediately stepped back to make way for Li Ke.

"Thank you everyone!"

Li Ke bowed his hands, tightened the reins, and rode away.

"Oh, it really is a young newlywed, unlike the guy in our family, who is like a log all day long, and can't get a fart with a stick."

A fat woman wearing a headscarf said sadly to the person next to her.

"Who said it wasn't."

The people next to him hurriedly responded, feeling sorry for him.

They are such a good man as the King of Shu, it is really hard to find even with a lantern.

"Yan'er."

Li Ke shouted loudly, dismounted from his horse and went straight to the yard where the two lived.

The people in the house only felt that the figure disappeared in a flash.

"..."

The two servants who were carrying trays and were about to go to the kitchen were stunned on the spot.

"Just now... did someone pass by?"

One of them said, a little unsure of his eyes.

"Yes... yeah..."

The other responded with a bit of self-doubt as well.

"Should we call someone?"

There was a "bang" and the door was pushed open.

"Yan'er, I'm back, do you miss me?"

Li Ke said hurriedly, striding in.

The imaginary beauty did not appear, but the room was silent.

Only then did Li Ke realize something was wrong.

Looking around inside and outside, such a lovely and gentle person is not there.

"Where's the princess?"

Li Ke turned around and went out at random, stopped a person and asked.

"Princess is in the kitchen. Ah! Your lord is back."

The servant hurriedly saluted and replied.

"no."

Li Ke said, people are like the wind, and went to the kitchen again.

As soon as he reached the door of the kitchen, he heard a soft female voice inside.

"Ms. Li, is that right?"

Chang Sunyan asked.

"Yes, yes, yes, Wangfei, I think you will succeed this time."

Aunt Li replied.

"really?"

There was joy in Changsun Yan's voice.

"really."

"You see that you have practiced so many times, and we have improved a lot. This time we will definitely succeed."

Aunt Li said firmly.

"Hee hee, it would be great if it can be accomplished."

Chang Sun Yan said with great anticipation.

"Princess, you really feel sorry for our prince, and you even went to the kitchen to do it yourself."

Aunt Li praised.

"Aunt Li, don't laugh at me."

There was a shyness in Changsun Yan's voice.

"Oh, ma'am, this is a compliment to you."

"I've been making pastries for decades. I haven't seen your new thing. It smells so good."

Aunt Li said sincerely.

"Well, I haven't seen it either. I just heard him mention it by chance before."

"Thinking that he has been away for a long time this time, and I just have nothing to do, I thought of trying it myself."

Following Changsun Yan's words, a sweet aroma wafted from the kitchen.

"It's done! I've become a princess."

Aunt Li said more happily than the Lord.

In the past few days, I have made at least half a bag of noodles, and several kilograms of peas and red beans have been consumed.

Occasionally, when boiling red beans, the princess accidentally burned her hands.

But Mrs. Li's heart ached.

"real!?"

Chang Sunyan asked in disbelief.

But this voice was heard in Li Ke's ears outside the door, but it had an indescribable warmth.

This little woman is the daughter of a noble family, and she has never touched the spring water with her hands.

Now I cook and cook soup for myself.

"smell good."

Seeing that it was almost time, Li Ke stepped in and said.

"Your Highness!"

Changsun Yan said in surprise, and turned to look.

"I am back."

Li Ke said with a smile, walking in front of Chang Sun Yan, his eyes were full of tenderness.

Aunt Li saw that the young couple was so tired and crooked, she gave the rest of them a wink to back off.

"I'm back, Yan'er."

Li Ke said with a smile.

Changsun Yan threw herself into Li Ke's arms and put her hands on his chest.

"You're back."

Changsun Yan murmured, still unable to believe her eyes.

"did you miss me?"

Li Ke smirked, lifted Chang Sun Yan's chin, and the two looked at each other.

Chang Sunyan's shy face flushed, her eyes rolled.

"I haven't seen you for so long, and you're still so bad."

Changsun Yan pretended to be angry and hit Li Ke's chest with her small fist, causing Li Ke to laugh muffledly.

His chest also heaved and trembled with the laughter.

Just as he was about to bow his head and kiss his lips that he had thought about a lot, a small square thing was stuffed into his mouth.

"Well?"

Seeing Li Ke's rare stupidity, Changsun Yan covered her mouth and smiled.

"Try to see if it's delicious."

Chang Sun Yan said with a smile.

Hearing the soft whispers in his ears made Li Ke feel sweeter than the pastries in his mouth.

Take a bite, and the fresh and sweet aroma spreads into your mouth.

"Pea yellow?"

Li Ke said with some surprise.

"Correct!"

Changsun Yan nodded and said, her happy eyes lit up.

"My Yan'er is so powerful! Can you make pea yellow?"

Li Ke praised.

This snack was just an occasional couple's gossip a long time ago, but this girl took it to heart.

"Hee hee, I've been practicing for a long time. It took me a while to find the materials you mentioned, but everything else is fine."

Chang Sunyan said shyly.

How could Li Ke not know how troublesome it is for someone who has never cooked before to learn how to cook.

Unable to refuse, she pulled Chang Sunyan's hand from behind her, held it in her palm and stroked it carefully.

"Your hands are red and blistered."

Li Ke said distressedly.

He put Chang Sun Yan's pale fingertips on his lips and kissed, which made Chang Sun Yan pull back her hands.

"What do you do in broad daylight?"

Changsun Yan scolded softly.

"My princess must reward me for making such delicious pea yellow."

Li Ke said with a ruffian smile.

Chang Sunyan's cheeks were flushed.

Li Ke came out of the kitchen with his Beloved Wife brand pea yellow and led Sun Yan's little hand.

Seeing someone hiding outside, they disappeared in a flash.

Li Ke didn't care and took the people back to their room and closed the door.

"What are you doing, in broad daylight."

Seeing Li Ke's actions, Changsun Yan said anxiously.

The two of them came back all the way and met many people on the way. If they stayed in the room and didn't go out, they didn't know what they would think.
