I, the wanderer of the universe, love making friends

Chapter 97 I will exert my full strength

Now, no matter if it’s the Prince of Zhennan.

Or it could be Li Bingchang, the emperor of Western Xia.

These two are the same person.

Because this person is like a chameleon, who can change his or her identity according to the environment and needs.

When necessary, he could become Li Bingchang, the emperor of Western Xia;

And when he was required to play Prince Duan, he was able to quickly switch to this role.

As Li Canghai said, as long as used properly, counterfeits can sometimes be a good thing.

When necessary, those fake women disguised as men can do things that do not require their real bodies to appear.

In fact, the art of disguise is not some magical magic or myth. Even the person who is best at disguise, although he can change his appearance in a short period of time and make it difficult for others to distinguish the real from the fake, can never completely replace another person's existence.

But if you observe and imitate someone carefully for a long time, especially if that person is often away from home and has affairs with different women every month, then impersonating that person will become relatively easy.

Moreover, if this person has experienced a major change, then even if his behavior is abnormal, he can find a reasonable excuse to explain it.

Facing the crowd's greetings, Prince Duan waved his hand and said, "Get up."

The guards quickly stood up.

At this time, a guard said again: "Young Prince, the prince has been waiting in the palace for a long time."

"Oh, my brother is here?" Prince Duan was instantly surprised. "Why didn't you tell me earlier?"

He turned and looked at the two women behind him: "You will also follow me to pay respect to the prince."

"Your Highness, not only has Your Highness arrived, but the Princess has also arrived, and she is accompanying him." The guard hesitated for a moment and said, "I'm afraid it's inconvenient to receive a female guest."

Prince Duan thought about it and nodded: "In that case, I'll have to ask you two to go back to the inn and wait for me."

The two women had no choice but to turn around and get on the carriage and leave.

When we entered the mansion, the hall was full of people.

Duan Zhengming and his wife sat in the first seat, accompanied by Princess Dao Baifeng.

The young Dao Baifeng was indeed very beautiful and had a great figure.

When Duan Zhengming saw Prince Duan, he said, "Brother Chun, you are finally back."

"Greetings, Brother and Sister-in-law." Prince Duan bowed respectfully. "I wonder what important matter has taken you away from your busy schedule to come here?"

Duan Zhengming shook his head. "Just walk with me for a while and let the two princesses chat."

"Yes."

The two walked towards the garden.

Duan Zhengming and Prince Duan walked side by side. Duan Zhengming asked softly, "Brother Chun, are you dissatisfied with your newly married princess?"

Prince Duan was stunned for a moment, then quickly shook his head and said, "No."

Duan Zhengming nodded and continued, "That's good. After all, I personally selected the princess for you. Although she is the daughter of the Baiyi tribe leader, she is well-educated, dignified and beautiful, and a lady from a noble family. She is a good match for you, and you shouldn't be dissatisfied."

Prince Duan smiled and replied, "Indeed, I am deeply grateful for your concern, my brother."

Duan Zhengming then asked, "Then why do you still often linger on women outside?"

When Prince Duan heard this, his face suddenly became a little embarrassed and he stammered, unable to answer.

Duan Zhengming saw this and said in a more serious tone, "I think the princess is still a virgin. There are even rumors in your house that you are impotent."

Prince Duan immediately denied it: "My brother, you misunderstood. Of course I can handle it."

Duan Zhengming asked doubtfully, "Then why do you still ignore the princess?"

Prince Duan quickly explained, "Brother, actually...actually, I've been doing something very important recently and can't be around women, so I definitely didn't mean to ignore her."

Duan Zhengming sighed helplessly, "Brother Chun, the Baiyi people are related to the stability of our Dali Kingdom. Many years ago, I said that most marriages between royal children are arranged through alliances. I hope you haven't forgotten this."

He solemnly warned: "I don't care about those daughters of Senior Li, or the daughters of which sects or families, but you can't continue like this in your marriage to the princess."

Prince Duan lowered his head and was silent for a moment before answering seriously, "Don't worry, brother. I understand the importance of this. I will definitely treat the princess well in the future and won't make you worry anymore."

Duan Zhengming shook his head. "You are really a playboy by nature. It's hard to change. I am a little worried."

"Don't overthink it, my brother. I didn't mean to ignore the princess. It's mainly because I've been practicing Taoism recently." Prince Duan said, "I need to be pure and abstain from desires for a while."

Duan Zhengming's face was instantly filled with confusion: "Practicing Taoism?"

"Yes, I also have a Taoist name called Xiaoyao." Prince Duan said seriously, "Although Buddhism is prevalent in Dali, I think it's also good to learn more about Taoism. As the saying goes, practicing both Buddhism and Taoism can resolve disasters, combine strength and flexibility, and increase personal cultivation."

Duan Zhengming saw that he wasn't joking, so he said, "Whether you're practicing Taoism or studying Buddhism, we're here today because of the princess's matter. You'll have to express your stance and not let the princess think too much."

"Thank you for the reminder, Brother Wang."

Duan Zhengming added, "Now that Crown Prince Yanqing's whereabouts are unknown, the ministers have long urged me to ascend the throne. They will gather at Tianlong Temple tomorrow night to ask Master Kurong to come forward. If Crown Prince Yanqing doesn't show up today, I will have to succeed the throne of Dali."

"Then should I congratulate my brother first?"

"Being an emperor is not an easy thing." Duan Zhengming shook his head. "Let's go back first."

After the two finished chatting, they returned to the hall.

The princess smiled faintly and said, "It seems you've almost finished your conversation." "Thank you for taking the trouble to come here for my matter," Prince Duan said seriously, "I'm actually very satisfied with Fenghuang'er as my princess. It's just that because I've been practicing Taoism recently, my master asked me to be pure and abstain from desires for a while, so I've been neglecting Fenghuang'er."

Dao Baifeng asked doubtfully, "Practicing Taoism?"

"Yes, because I believe that the six major schools of Buddhism, Taoism, Medicine, Confucianism, Martial Arts, and folk culture are like six bright lamps, reflecting each other without interfering with each other, making the heart brighter." Prince Duan said, "It happened to be at a critical moment. I hope Fenghuang'er can forgive me."

The princess' wife smiled and said, "My Lord, please save these intimate words for later when you return to your room. However, since you have made such a promise, if you bully the princess, your brother and I will stand up for her."

"Please rest assured, Madam Wang." Prince Duan immediately stated, "I will definitely not bully Fenghuang'er."

After saying this, he asked people to start the meal.

At this moment, Duan Zhengming and Wang Sao were both here. Dao Baifeng could only suppress her unhappiness and force a smile on her face, but when they left, her face immediately turned cold.

She glared at Prince Duan fiercely and said coldly, "Why don't you go accompany that girl surnamed Li or Qin? Why are you bothering me?"

Prince Duan smiled slightly, looked at her tenderly, and whispered, "Because you are my Phoenix, if I don't cling to you, who else can I cling to? And you are my princess, who I married in a formal ceremony, carried home in a sedan chair carried by eight men!"

Hearing this, Dao Baifeng's eyes grew even colder, her voice tinged with anger. "Hmph, a princess married with formal marriage ceremonies and carried home in a sedan chair? And yet you ran away on our wedding night, leaving me home alone, all alone in my empty room?"

As she spoke, her eyes gradually turned red and tears welled up in them.

She was a Baiyi woman with a straightforward personality, and her speech was not as tactful as that of the women from the Central Plains.

Looking at Dao Baifeng's expression at this moment, Prince Duan sighed softly: "It is indeed wrong of me to leave you out of the bridal chamber, but I also have my reasons."

"What's the reason?" Dao Baifeng asked coldly, "Is it as the rumors say? Can't have sex?"

Prince Duan's face changed, and he said, "Which bastard said I was incapable of sex? It was just that at that time..."

Before he could finish, Dao Baifeng interrupted him: "I don't care, you are a heartless man anyway!"

Prince Duan sighed helplessly and said, "Okay, I admit that I was wrong first, but I really have my reasons."

"What's the difficulty?" Dao Baifeng asked again.

"Actually...actually I went to deal with some affairs in the martial arts world." Prince Duan's face became solemn.

"Martial arts affairs?" Dao Baifeng frowned. "What does this have to do with our marriage?"

"Because those Jianghu affairs involve our identities and status, if not handled promptly, they may bring us trouble." Prince Duan explained, "Do you remember the previous civil unrest in the royal family? I went to deal with that matter."

Dao Baifeng said dissatisfiedly, "Does this kind of thing really need to be handled on the wedding night? There are so many people in the royal family, why would you, the Prince of Zhennan, need to personally come forward?"

Naturally, she didn't believe this and thought the other party was just speaking sweet words.

Prince Duan sighed softly, "Logically, I really don't need to intervene, but you must know that I was burned many years ago. In addition, the expert who treated me was also implicated in the imperial strife, so I can't just sit back and do nothing. Otherwise, I would be ungrateful."

Hearing this, Dao Baifeng's tone softened a bit, "Then why didn't you tell me?"

"I didn't tell you because I was afraid you would worry." Prince Duan looked at her gently.

"I'm not worried!" Dao Baifeng said stubbornly, "I only know that you abandoned me on our wedding night!"

"I'm sorry, I won't do this again." Prince Duan apologized sincerely.

"Humph, who knows!" Dao Baifeng still didn't believe him.

Seeing that she was still angry, Prince Duan simply picked her up.

There is no need to waste time on things that can be solved directly.

Dao Baifeng was startled: "It's broad daylight now, what are you doing?"

"Does the pleasure of marriage depend on the time?" Prince Duan ignored her struggle and carried her straight back to the bedroom.

……

sunset.

In the bedroom in the backyard of the Zhennan Palace.

Prince Duan suddenly felt a smooth and soft body slowly approaching him and hugging him tightly.

The two of them didn't say anything else.

It was simply because they had just been immersed in the pleasure and satisfaction given by each other, and this was the first time they had been so intimate.

At the same time, he discovered that the rumors in the mansion were false and that the prince was not impotent.

Because she no longer has any strength left and doesn't want to move at all, this is the best proof.

Dao Baifeng was too tired to be upset anymore and said softly, "Brother Chun..."

"Actually, the previous Duan Zhengchun is already dead," Prince Duan said suddenly. "He died in that fire that year. The one by your side now is a brand new Prince Duan."

Dao Baifeng said, "I don't care whether you are the former Duan Zhengchun or the new Prince Duan. I only know that you are my husband. From now on, you can only be mine. I will forgive you for running away from home on your wedding night."

"Fenghuang'er, actually you don't know yet." Prince Duan said suddenly.

"what?"

Prince Duan said, "Because I am already a brand new Prince Duan, I just used a little bit of my ability. From now on, I will use my full strength."

"What do you mean by exerting all your strength?" Dao Baifeng asked doubtfully.
