My name is Chang An, your name is Gu Li

"Your Highness, this... is not appropriate?" Chang An frowned slightly, already beginning to suspect that Her Highness the Princess was a little drunk.

"Just this one cup, no more, don't worry, Marquis Dingkang." Li Ke'er smiled.

At this time, Li Siqing also came over and said, "If Marquis Dingkang feels that my sister alone is not enough to give you face, then how about adding me as well?"

Chang An was suddenly "flattered" and immediately looked at Yuan Qianyao for help, but the latter ignored his gaze and started talking to Zhang.

"Drinking is harmful to your health, just this one glass." Chang An had no choice but to pour himself a glass of wine and took a sip with the two princesses.

Li Ke'er was a man of his word. After finishing a cup, she left with Li Siqing. After they were some distance away from Chang'an, Li Siqing pulled Li Ke'er and said:

"Sister, you are crazy! Aren't you making things difficult for Marquis Dingkang and causing him to be gossiped about by others?"

Her tone was full of accusations, and then she said, "Besides, our little darling is about to be born, and the Lady of the County needs to rest well. It would be terrible if the Lady of the County heard what happened today."

Li Keer frowned slightly and said, "It's just a glass of wine, so what?"

"Maybe you, sister, think it's nothing, and Marquis Dingkang may also think it's nothing, but other adults and the county ladies may not think it's nothing." Li Siqing said anxiously.

"What do you mean?"

"Sister, have you forgotten that Marquis Dingkang was almost a royal consort!" Li Siqing looked around, pulled Li Keer to a place where there were not many people, and said.

"Although it was said that Marquis Dingkang went to the palace to disobey the emperor's order, it took a lot of effort to get my father to revoke his order. But now that so many adults are watching, if I go up to Marquis Dingkang alone to drink, what will the other adults think?"

"Even though the engagement has been cancelled, they are still so close in front of so many people. Gossip will inevitably spread. Not only will it damage the Lady's mood and health, but it will also cause countless rumors in the royal family."

Li Ke'er said, "So you came to find me? To let others see the two princesses drinking with Marquis Dingkang?"

"My identity is different from my sister's. I have no relationship with Marquis Dingkang. If we have any, we are just friends. Others will only be confused. But if you go, my sister, the truth is out there after all."

"What? Can't I, a princess of the Tang Dynasty, drink a cup with meritorious officials now?" Li Ke'er seemed a little unhappy, so she asked, "Or do I, a princess, have no right to drink with others?"

"I know you are unhappy, sister, but can you please tell me why you wanted to drink with Marquis Dingkang? You have to make it clear, otherwise if something really gets out, it will be really bad." Li Siqing was a little anxious at this time. He looked around and asked after seeing that no one noticed him.

"If you don't want to talk about it now, we can report it to father and talk about it after we return to the palace."

"Why else?" Li Ke'er looked in Chang'an's direction and said, "Why can't I have a drink with him?"

Li Siqing immediately understood what Li Ke'er meant, and then said, "But he really doesn't want to, and didn't you say you didn't want to get married at that time, sister?"

"Yeah, what's wrong?" Li Ke'er said, "Does it mean that if I don't get married, I can't have a couple of drinks with him? Is there anyone in the harem who doesn't know what I'm thinking?"

"To be honest, I'm not afraid of them gossiping. I'm upright and Marquis Dingkang is also upright, so why would they be afraid of such talk?"

"That's funny."

After Li Keer finished speaking, she threw the wine glass in her hand out. Because the two of them were in the pond behind the hall at this time, the wine glass naturally fell into the pond. She was also standing in front of the railing, looking up at the sky.

But there is nothing in the sky.

"Sister...are you okay?" Li Siqing asked, feeling a little worried when he saw Li Ke'er like this.

"It's okay. I just drank too much and said some nonsense." Li Ke'er lowered her head and said so, then turned and walked towards the palace.

"Let's go back..."

Returning to her seat, Li Ke'er asked the eunuch to bring another wine glass, and Li Siqing asked someone to replace the wine on Li Ke'er's table with tea. There was singing and dancing, colorful clothes dancing, and it seemed that everyone was intoxicated by it.

Li Ke'er looked through the gaps between the dancers and looked at Chang An who was sitting opposite her, but he was just chatting and laughing with the old man next to him. It seemed that he didn't care what she did, and even drank wine without any hesitation.

But how could Chang An not feel Li Ke'er's gaze? He just chose to ignore it. At this time, Yuan Qianyao suddenly pointed behind him and said:

"Your Highness is drunk."

Chang An turned around and took a look. Li Ying was leaning on the table with his hands supporting his head, but there was no movement.

"You drank so much and so fast, how can you not be drunk?" Chang An smiled, waved his hand to call a eunuch, and ordered: "Your Highness is drunk, please inform His Majesty and send Your Highness back to rest."

"I'm not drunk yet, Chang Yong and you, don't listen to Prime Minister Yuan's nonsense." Li Ying raised his eyes slightly and looked at Chang An.

Of course, in Chang An's view, Li Ying's "slightly raised eyes" was almost no raising of eyes, at most squinting. Chang An looked at Li Ying like this and said:

"Your Highness is already like this, how can you not be drunk? Even if you are not drunk, you should go back and rest, right?"

"Let me stay a little longer. It's only this hour. Let me go back to sleep."

"If you don't go back to sleep, you can only sleep here, which will be embarrassing." Chang An said with a smile, and then looked at the eunuch: "Report to His Majesty, and you can help His Highness go away."

"Yes, Marquis Dingkang."

After watching several eunuchs help Li Ying away, Chang An turned around and planned to continue talking to Yuan Qianyao. But as soon as he turned around, he felt that there seemed to be nothing to say.

Yuan Qianyao looked at Chang An, who seemed to be hesitant to speak, and asked with a smile, "What's wrong, little friend Chang? Are you worried about your family?"

"Of course I miss her. I don't know if she has eaten well, and I don't know if she misses me." Chang An raised his head slightly and looked outside the palace. It seemed that what was said in the books and on TV was all false. There were no lights in the palace at all.

Li Longji was concentrating on watching the dance and drinking, and did not pay attention to Chang An. Instead, Queen Wang leaned close to Li Longji's ear and whispered, "Your Majesty, please look at Marquis Dingkang."

Li Longji looked over subconsciously and found that Chang An was leaning on the table with his face in his hands, his eyes looking outside the palace.

"What is on Marquis Dingkang's mind? Even dance music can't attract him." Queen Wang asked doubtfully, but this doubt seemed to have other intentions.

Li Longji saw Chang An like this, and he seemed to have never seen such a melancholy and depressed look before. After thinking about it for a while, he understood and said to Queen Wang with a smile:

"He's not worried, he just misses home."

After saying this, he raised his hand, gestured to Eunuch Cheng, and then ordered: "Marquis Dingkang is tired, send him back."

"Yes, Your Majesty."

......

In Chang's house, after Gu Li finished bathing, she sat in the room. The two maids beside her almost never left her side. Although it was not unprecedented, it was a bit strange that the two of them stared at her like this today.

"Huaiqin, Zhen'er."

"No, Sanniang. The master doesn't allow us to leave you too far. Huaiqin and Zhen'er must be here to look after you and never leave your side." Huaiqin said this as soon as she heard Gu Li speak.

Gu Li was stunned for a moment - he hadn't asked anything yet.

"Did Chang Lang ask you to follow me like this?" Gu Li asked in disbelief.

"Yes, Sanniang." Zhen'er spoke for Huaiqin, "The master was worried and told Huaiqin and I to stay with Sanniang. Then the original words were:"

"Sanniang, just take a rest. If you need anything else, just ask the two of us to do it."

Gu Li looked at his own situation, then looked at the two maids, sighed, and said, "Okay, okay, I can't throw it away. Really, I must talk to Chang Lang when he comes back."

"Don't say that, Sanniang. Young Master is also concerned about you."

Gu Li pouted unhappily and said, "I see. Zhen'er, go to the kitchen and help me check if Chang Lang's hangover soup is ready. If it's ready, serve it out and let it air dry for a while."

"Yes, Sanniang."

After Zhen'er left, Gu Li held her belly and tried to get up from the bed. At this time, Huaiqin hurriedly supported her and asked, "Sanniang, where are you going?"

"I'm not going anywhere. I'm just walking around the room and going to the desk across from me."

Huaiqin nodded and said, "Oh, Huaiqin, help Sanniang over."

Gu Li did not object and let her help him to sit down in front of the desk. Now, it was a little inconvenient for him to do anything. No wonder the other party asked two maids to protect him closely...

Maybe there are still two on the eaves now.

She sighed helplessly, then looked at the table, picked up a book, and wanted to read something to relieve her boredom.

But after reading for a while, Gu Li put the book aside and called out, "Huaiqin."

"What time is it now?"

"Replying to Sanniang, it is not yet the hour of Xu, and it will arrive in 25 minutes."

"It's not the hour of the dog yet..."

Gu Li leaned on the table boredly and looked at the sky outside the window through the door.

"Why doesn't time pass faster?"
