"What? Who did you say is here?"
Miss Changsun was dressed in plain clothes, with all the ornaments removed. When she heard the maid's words, she couldn't believe it. The last time she heard news about Li Xiang, he was still in the northern desert. Could he have arrived in Chang'an City so soon?
"It's the Crown Prince who's here. Miss, you gave orders not to see any outsiders, but the Crown Prince has already arrived at the front hall. Besides, our two families are relatives, so there's no need for gender separation. What do you think?"
The butler stood by and answered honestly. Looking at the young lady in front of him, the butler felt a little distressed. It turned out that our young lady was a famous beauty in Chang'an City. It was just because her husband died when she got married for the first time, so she was given an ominous name in the whole Chang'an City.
I thought everything would be fine in a few years, but who knew that the damn Tubo Prime Minister actually fell in love with her. This made everyone in the family very anxious. After many twists and turns, His Royal Highness the Crown Prince helped and he finally came back from Tubo. But I didn't expect that rumors were spreading in the market, and the major families did not dare to propose to Changsun Pingting, so the whole person was delayed.
In fact, people's concerns are correct. Think carefully about what happened back then. When the emperor's edict came down, Li Xiang immediately started fighting with Lu Dongzan. How could the fight be so coincidental? The two of them didn't get along before, but from the things they did later, everyone can analyze that there was definitely hatred between the two.
The most serious hatred these days is killing one's father and stealing one's wife. Crown Prince Li Chengqian was fine and nothing happened to him, so it definitely had nothing to do with killing his father. Then the next thing was stealing one's wife. Only such hatred between the two could lead to such a situation.
"Go and tell him I'm not seeing guests."
Changsun Pingting's heart was really in turmoil, but after thinking about it carefully, she felt that Li Xiang's return should be related to the wedding, and it was not appropriate for the two to meet at this time. Moreover, Changsun Pingting also felt that Li Xiang's feelings for her did not seem to be that deep. If that was the case, it would be better not to meet.
In modern society, Li Xiang would be a complete scumbag. After he teased someone, there was no follow-up. How could this be acceptable? But Li Xiang also had his own difficulties. He really didn't know how to deal with the situation at that time. He also thought very clearly along the way, he had to see what Changsun Pingting thought.
Li Xiang was also very nervous sitting in his seat, but he never expected that when the old housekeeper came out, he would tell Li Xiang that the young lady didn't want to see him.
Li Xiang was about to break in, but thinking about the fact that this was a branch of the Changsun Mansion, and then thinking about the rumors between the two of them, it was very likely that people took this into consideration, so they could not meet openly. However, Li Xiang glanced at the wall not far away. If this height could stop him outside, then you guys are really screwed.
"You guys find a place nearby to wait for me. Just mark the spot. Have the rest of the convoy return to Chang'an City. If they make any noise, they can go straight back to the East Palace."
Li Xiang gave instructions to his men and then disappeared in the convoy. The old butler saw clearly that Li Xiang's men had already left and were outside the defense circle of the villa. The old butler shook his head helplessly and then came back with the rest of the people. It seemed that there was really something going on between the two of them, but considering the current rumors, it would be better not to meet.
"Listen up, everyone. If anyone leaks a single word about what happened today and damages our young lady's reputation, I'll cut off your tongues. I don't have much of a future, but I watched her grow up. If you keep gossiping, I'll treat your tongues as superfluous."
The old butler said this viciously, and everyone below quickly agreed.
After seeing this scene, they did want to find someone to analyze it. After all, this rumor was too popular in Chang'an City. But after listening to the old housekeeper's words, they all shut their mouths. If you dare to go out and talk nonsense, your tongue will really be cut off.
Hearing the sound of horse hooves fading away, Changsun Pingting couldn't tell what she felt in her heart. Li Xiang might have left at this moment, but it was you who let him go. When she heard this sound, Changsun Pingting felt a little lost.
Just as Changsun Pingting picked up the Buddhist beads, a familiar voice was heard outside. Changsun Pingting had heard this voice before, but she couldn't tell what it was.
When Li Xiang appeared in front of Changsun Pingting, she finally understood what the sound was. Wasn't that the sound of him jumping down from the wall? Although the courtyard was heavily guarded, with dozens of skilled soldiers watching, how could those people find Li Xiang? With the help of the system, Li Xiang now had the combat power of 25 people. It was no exaggeration to say that he was a top master.
The moment the two met each other, no one knew what to say, and sparks began to burn in the air. They looked at each other, especially Li Xiang looking at Changsun Pingting. She was originally a beautiful flower, but now she was about to wither. She was so old.
Li Xiang has lived two lives, so even if he has never encountered such a situation, he should know what to do after watching TV. Before Changsun Pingting could come to her senses, she was already in Li Xiang's arms. This is that kind of heart-pounding feeling.
This was not the first time that Li Xiang held Changsun Pingting in his arms. She used to be very plump, but now he could feel the bones on Changsun Pingting's body, which showed that she had lost a lot of weight during this period of time.
Li Xiang was really heartbroken. In the past, he would never do such rude things when doing things. This time, Changsun Pingting was really scared.
But the excessive actions were not over yet. There was some intimate behavior between the two. Changsun Pingting stared at Li Xiang who was so close to her. She could not believe that their lips were touching at this moment.
Needless to say, what happened next was the best way to resolve the problem. If they relied on explanations, the two would probably quarrel. Only in this way could they narrow the distance between them. When there was no distance between them, the problem would be solved. Li Xiang would never believe in the saying that distance creates beauty. He always believed in one thing, that is, distance only creates distance.
Changsun Pingting also took the plunge, a piece of white gauze fell from the sky, this was her shawl...
