Chapter 254 Returning to the Palace
Chapter 254 Back to the Palace
After a while of traveling with Zhou Ruoruo, Li Ke told Zhou Ruoruo that he needed to go back.
Zhou Ruoruo asked Li Ke where his family lived. Li Ke hesitated for a moment and told her to live in the capital.
Zhou Ruoruo was a little regretful, and seemed to want to say something but stopped. In the end, he just said something:
"My family is also near the capital, and I have been out and played for so long, so it's time to go back. Let's go together."
Li Ke nodded. In fact, as the emperor, there is nothing wrong with many women.
It is completely possible to include Zhou Ruoruo in the harem, but he still thought that he would not say such things for now.
It’s better to wait until you return to the capital and seek Zhou Ruoruo’s own advice.
Thinking of this, Li Ke and Zhou Ruoruo continued to set off and took the train to the north from the south.
The two of them experienced some interesting things along the way.
Nothing dangerous has happened, and it has been considered a lot of trouble.
After taking the train for a few days and returning to the capital, Li Ke looked at Zhou Ruoruo and asked her:
"Would you like to be my woman?"
When she heard this, Zhou Ruoruo was obviously stunned, but she probably considered this issue, so she had almost no hesitation and said:
"I do, even though I know, you may have been married. But I still do. You are a very good person, and you feel safe and happy to be with you, so I thought that if you are willing to accept me, I will definitely follow you."
Maybe she really thought about it, so she could make such a decision!
This touched Li Ke a little.
Then Li Ke smiled and said:
"Okay, since that's the case, you can go back to the palace with me!"
As soon as these words came out, Zhou Ruoruo was stunned for a moment!
"Return to the palace? What does it mean to go back to the palace?"
This made Zhou Ruoruo very puzzled. She didn't understand why Li Ke said this?
Did Li Ke live in the palace?
With this idea, she was extremely surprised.
Li Ke smiled slightly and said:
"Didn't you always want to know my name? I will tell you today that my surname is Li and my name is Li Ke."
As soon as these words came out, Zhou Ruoru's face became more exciting.
Some are surprised, some are shocked, some are unimaginable, and some are joyful, respectful and worshipful.
Various different expression changes were seen by Li Ke.
Then Li Ke said:
"Didn't you say you admire me very much? Now I tell you that I am the emperor of the Dragon Kingdom Li Ke!"
"So, are you still willing to be my concubine?"
Zhou Ruoruo's face showed joy and said:
"I'm willing, of course I'm willing, who can refuse to be your woman in the Dragon Kingdom and even the whole world?"
Li Ke smiled:
"Yeah?"
Maybe, but who knows?
Thinking of being here, he smiled and pulled Zhou Ruoruo's hand, took him through the sea of people and into the palace.
This was probably the first time Zhou Ruoruo entered the palace and was shocked by the scenes in front of him.
The palace maids and eunuchs in the palace also showed joy when they saw Li Ke.
Although Li Ke in Long Country has it, everyone can rest assured.
However, every time Li Ke is not in the palace, many people always worry.
I always feel like a group of dragons have no heads.
Every time Li Ke comes back, many people always relax.
After receiving the news, Wu Meiniang and Jin Yeon came out to greet them immediately.
Seeing Li Ke bringing a woman back, they had no objection at all.
If a person as outstanding as Li Ke only has one or two women, it would be unreasonable.
After Li Ke returned to the palace, he first asked Wu Meiniang to settle Zhou Ruoruo, and then learned about some recent situations from Wu Meiniang.
Li Ke didn't have to worry about anything else, mainly because of some things Li Ke heard about Western countries outside.
Wu Meiniang had already done some sorting of these things. After Li Ke came back, he reported to him in an orderly manner.
"Your Majesty, since we told Western countries that they had accepted it at first.
However, there are always some people with clear brain circuits in these Western countries who stand up to oppose it with other ridiculous reasons.
Although the impact is not great, it is still somewhat troublesome to our railway construction process.
In addition, the Frank Empire in the West intends to marry Princess Frank to our Dragon Kingdom.
If you want to marry the Dragon Kingdom and let the princess of the Frank Empire be His Majesty, your concubine is of great importance and I dare not refuse.
I don’t dare to agree to make a decision, so I still need His Holiness to make the decision.”
After hearing this, Li Ke nodded and said:
""If there is no benefit, I'm afraid I won't do anything like marriage."
Speaking of this, he took a deep breath and sneered:
"It's just that I'm interested in some of the cutting-edge technologies in our Long Kingdom. By the way, you didn't express your opinion on this matter. What was their response?"
Wu Meiniang said:
"I dare not respond to this matter. There was news from the Frank Empire that their princess would bring envoys to the Dragon Kingdom again."
Li Ke nodded and said:
"Then you don't have to care too much about this in advance. When they come, see how they are ready and adapt to the situation."
Wu Meiniang said:
"I understand, does Your Majesty have any instructions on the railway matter?"
Li Ke thought about it and said:
"The next order is that countries along the railway construction must assist in ensuring the smooth completion of the railway. If the guarantee cannot be provided, our Long Kingdom will withdraw the workers who built the railway and will always refuse to export all the things from the Long Kingdom to the West.
Even if their attitude is very strong and affects the workers of our Dragon Kingdom, they will warn them that our Dragon Kingdom may send troops at any time and suppress them with powerful weapons."
Wu Meiniang nodded after hearing this. She didn't expect that Li Ke was still so tough towards Western countries.
This is the opposite of the two of them. Relatively speaking, Wu Meiniang is suitable for handling internal affairs. She can use her methods to deal with some relatively gentle government affairs.
On the outside, Li Ke's fortitude and domineeringness are needed.
After giving these instructions, he immediately told Wu Meiniang and asked her to notify the Ministry of Rites and hold a concubine ceremony for Zhou Ruoruo as soon as possible.
No matter what, this week, Ruoruo was already with Li Ke without Li Ke giving her any title, and Li Ke could not treat her badly!
Strictly speaking, Zhou Ruoru and Li Ke really came together after two people thought each other was very ordinary.
There is a little bit of love for the other person.
So Li Ke didn't want to neglect.
Wu Meiniang nodded and said that she would do this.
Subsequently, Li Ke issued an order, requiring the Ministry of Justice, the Ministry of Rites of Dali Temple and the Inspectorate to do their best to supervise officials in all parts of the world and to understand whether there are any collusion between criminal forces and government officials in various places.
And the phenomenon that officials are threatened by criminal gangs.
If such incidents occur, they must be investigated and cracked down on.
The incident in Nanfangjiang City taught Li Ke a lot of lessons.
It also made him understand that when the world is big, anything can happen.
The Dragon Kingdom is now very big.
Such incidents must also be carried out in every detail, otherwise it will be difficult to govern a country well.
