My name is Chang An, your name is Gu Li

"Ah?" Chang An was stunned for a moment and asked in confusion: "Why do you ask that?"

Gu Li was a woman, not to mention a married woman, so she had some premonitions about people of the same sex who wanted to get close to her husband. At least, Gu Li had a sense of crisis from Li Ke'er.

First, a few days ago, when Li Longji visited, Li Keer had been to the kitchen. Then, today, Chang Lang said that the princess was also helping him to intercede. Although there was some fantasy in this matter, this premonition was definitely not groundless.

"Because Her Royal Highness the Princess also pleaded for Chang Lang." Gu Li said, "She is Her Royal Highness the Princess, a precious girl, and she has nothing to do with Chang Lang, so why would she come out in person to plead for Chang Lang?"

"Whether she intercedes or not, whether Chang Lang lives or dies, she will not suffer any loss. But she is willing to take the risk of being punished together with him. It can't be that she is doing this out of pity for Chang Lang."

Chang An raised his eyebrows and said, "But what if your Chang Lang's words are too touching, and Her Royal Highness the Princess happens to be a sentimental person, so she just happens to intercede for me?"

Gu Li shook his head resolutely and said, "But I also know that she went to the kitchen for no reason when I visited her that day."

"What's wrong with that? Your Highness the Princess just went to the kitchen to check the ingredients to see if there are any dietary restrictions." Chang An said.

"But Her Royal Highness the Princess didn't say what she was going to do at that time, and Chang Lang had already left by then, so she didn't hear it." Gu Li leaned completely on Chang An's chest.

Although Gu Li often had random thoughts, Chang An never expected that she could be so clear and logical when she was thinking. He leaned his head on Gu Li's shoulder, gently held her waist, and said:

"Her Royal Highness is also a human being. She can like whoever she wants." Chang An said disapprovingly, "Even if Her Royal Highness really likes me, she can't get me."

"Why?" This time it was Gu Li's turn to be confused.

"Because, both my heart and my body belong to you, Mother Gu, alone." Chang An suddenly kissed Gu Li on the cheek and said.

"So today when Your Majesty said he was going to drag me out and behead me in public, I said: I beg Your Majesty to return my body to my wife. I am Gu Niang's person in life and her ghost in death."

When Gu Li heard that the emperor really wanted to execute Chang An today, his body stiffened for a moment.

"But today I'm really worried that Chang Lang won't come back..." Gu Li pouted at this time, obviously still feeling a little scared.

Chang An continued, "Okay, okay, this matter has passed. There will be no such thing in the future. And I promise to Gu Niang that I will only recognize you as my daughter-in-law in this life."

"Just like today, even if His Majesty the Emperor wants me to change my wife, I won't agree..."

Just as he finished speaking, Chang An suddenly felt Gu Li in front of him move suddenly, causing a splash of water. When he looked clearly again, he saw that Gu Li had turned around and was facing him.

"In this life, I only recognize Chang Lang as my husband..."

......

This time, Gu Li was still carried out of the bathroom by Chang An. She leaned her little head on his shoulder, her face slightly red.

Chang An looked at her tired and weak appearance, and couldn't help feeling a little pity, so he asked: "Mother Gu vomited blood today, let's go back and have some donkey-hide gelatin cakes later."

"Um......"

Gu Li's voice was soft, and she seemed to be able to fall asleep anytime and anywhere. Chang An could not help but quicken his pace. After returning to the house, he put her on the bed and asked Huaiqin to bring some donkey-hide gelatin cakes.

As soon as he sat back on the bed, Gu Li climbed directly into his arms and curled up. Chang An gently supported her and asked, "What's wrong, Mother Gu?"

"I'm so tired and want to sleep..."

Chang An looked at Gu Li and realized that she could hardly open her eyes.

"Then sleep here for a while at Chang Lang's place. You can go to sleep after your hair is dry." Chang An kissed Gu Li gently on the forehead and said.

Huaiqin brought in the donkey-hide gelatin cake. Just as she was about to speak, she saw Chang'an making a gesture to silence her. Then she heard him whisper:

"Mrs. Gu, eat the donkey-hide gelatin cake first."

......

The next day, when they got up and had just finished feeding Gu Li medicine, Eunuch Cheng came again. Chang An and Gu Li had no choice but to change into court robes again and come to the front yard.

As soon as Eunuch Cheng saw Chang An, he asked, "Marquis Dingkang, you will not disobey the order again today, right?"

Chang An was stunned for a moment, knowing that he was really scary yesterday, and then he smiled and said, "It shouldn't be."

"That's good, that's good," Eunuch Cheng smiled as if relieved of a heavy burden, and then said, "Marquis Dingkang, accept the order."

Chang An helped Gu Li kneel down together, and then began to listen to the imperial edict. The content of the imperial edict was indeed the same as Li Longji promised. Except for the marriage, everything else remained unchanged. He even did not deduct Gu Li's position as the county lady.

"I accept the order and thank you for your grace." Chang An took the imperial edict, and Eunuch Cheng, as usual, gave Chang An a little support.

"Marquis Dingkang, you are now favored by the emperor. The emperor is willing to forgive you for such a serious crime as disobeying the emperor's order yesterday." Eunuch Cheng said.

"I don't deserve it." Chang An waved his hand and said, "Eunuch Cheng, you came here early in the morning. You must have been exhausted from the journey. Why don't you go in and have some tea?"

Eunuch Cheng looked up at the sky and said, "Then we will respectfully obey your command."

"Huaiqin, go get some rock sugar and snow pear soup."

"Yes, son."

Sitting in the main hall, Huaiqin quickly brought over the rock sugar snow pear. After taking a sip, Cheng Gonggong nodded and praised briefly before speaking again:

"Marquis Dingkang, starting today, the blockade of Chang'an City will be lifted."

Chang An also smiled and said, "That's good. I wonder if His Majesty has revealed when the people will start being vaccinated against cowpox?"

Eunuch Cheng thought for a while and said, "Your Majesty has already ordered people to collect cows with cowpox. The formal arrangements should begin in the next two days."

"That's good." Chang An nodded.

"By the way, His Majesty also asked me to bring a message to Marquis Dingkang today." Eunuch Cheng said, remembering something at this time.

"Eunuch Cheng, please speak."

Eunuch Cheng looked at Chang An and said, "Your Majesty said that although Marquis Dingkang is now a noble, he still retains the qualification to take the imperial examination. So starting tomorrow, Marquis Dingkang will return to the Imperial Academy and continue his studies."

Chang An was stunned for a moment, and his body froze.

"Your Majesty also said that he believed that Marquis Dingkang would achieve something in the future..." Eunuch Cheng looked at Chang An's distraught appearance and said:

"Why is Marquis Dingkang so depressed?"

Nonsense, I have to go to school again after the suspension of classes. This is a sadness engraved in my genes. Chang An sighed and said, "It's okay, thank you for your advice, Your Majesty."

Eunuch Cheng nodded, finished the candied pear drink at hand, stood up and said, "Marquis Dingkang, I will go back to the palace and report to His Majesty."

"Okay, Master Cheng, take care."

After Eunuch Cheng left, Chang An collapsed on the chair, feeling as if his soul was being sucked out of him.

"Chang Lang? Are you unhappy?" Gu Li pulled Chang An's hand and asked.

Chang An immediately hugged the lovely girl into his arms and said, "Chang Lang will have to go back to the Imperial College to study tomorrow. He won't be able to accompany Gu Niang. Of course I'm sad."

After saying that, he pretended to lean on her shoulder and started to cry. Gu Li also patted his back and comforted him, "Okay, okay, Chang Lang, don't be sad. Anyway, you will only be at the Imperial College for half a day, and there is still another half a day."

"I've always been at home, Chang Lang, please don't be like this, okay?"

Chang An said, "I don't want to go for half a day. What should I do? I just want to see my mother."

Gu Li sighed and said, "Okay, okay, Chang Lang, stop pretending. It's a good thing to be able to go back to the Imperial Academy to attend classes."

Chang An then raised his head and chuckled twice, "So Mother Gu knew I was pretending."

"Changlang, please stop being childish, okay? I will still be the same as before, Changlang, you don't have to worry." Gu Li patted Chang An on the face and said.

Chang An took advantage, but he also stretched out an index finger, put it on Gu Li's lips, and said teasingly: "Gu Niang is the most childish, how can you have the nerve to say that Chang Lang is mine?"

"I'm not childish! I'm seventeen years old and have been an adult for two years. I'm an adult now!" Gu Li said with his hands on his hips and puffed out his cheeks.

"Then I would like to ask Madam Zichuan why you say you are not childish? Isn't this just trying to cover up the truth?" Chang An was relentless and continued to tease.

Seventeen years old. Although Gu Li is now an adult physically, but psychologically... Chang An himself is hard to say.

"I..." Gu Li didn't know what to say and was speechless. Then, she pouted and said, "Chang Lang bullied me again..."

Chang An rubbed her cheek at this time and said, "How could I bully Gu Niang? No, I just said that Gu Niang is very childish and I like her very much."

Gu Li snorted and said, "Chang Lang is just a liar. Why don't you prepare the items for tomorrow?"

"No." Chang An said.

"Why not go? It's His Majesty who ordered Chang Lang to go. Is Chang Lang going to disobey the order again?" Gu Li said, frowning.

"I didn't say I wouldn't go to the Imperial College, I just said I wouldn't pack up my things." Chang An said.

"why are you not going?"

"Because I still have Mother Gu."
