My name is Chang An, your name is Gu Li

Chang'an helped Li Ying up at this time, and then a servant came from the east with a basket containing the clothes and handed it to Li Ying.

Chang An came down from the east steps, walked back to Miao Nei and continued to wait facing west. Then Eunuch Cheng led Li Ying, and another eunuch followed behind with wine and meat jerky.

After Li Ying entered the Confucius Temple, he walked to the left and came to the south side of the west steps, facing east. The eunuch holding something stood to the southwest of the crown prince, facing northeast.

Then Li Ying knelt down, placed the basket, and bowed twice to Chang An. Chang An was sitting on a chair at this time, and returned the greeting to Li Ying, also bowing twice.

After the two men exchanged greetings, Li Ying took a step back, then stepped forward, knelt down and picked up the basket. Eunuch Cheng came up at this time, led Li Ying to the doctor, and presented him with money and silk facing east. The eunuchs holding wine and meat jerky followed and placed the wine and meat jerky in front of Chang An.

Chang An also accepted the money and silk, and the eunuch finally walked east with wine, meat jerky, money and silk. Eunuch Cheng once again guided Li Ying to stand in the middle of the steps near the south, facing north. After another bow, Eunuch Cheng led Li Ying out.

At this point, the entire apprenticeship ceremony was over. At this time, an eunuch came over and offered him a cup of tea, saying, "Master Chang, this is the tea that His Highness offers you."

"Thank you, Your Highness."

Chang An said something polite and took it. After taking a sip, he sat on a chair to rest for a while.

When Li Ying came in again, he had already taken off his heavy school uniform and changed back into his yellow dress. He sat directly next to Chang An and let out a long sigh:

"That dress was really heavy, luckily I only wore it this once."

Chang An could only nod in agreement and said, "Today's etiquette is complicated and tiring."

"Is that so?" Li Ying started to complain when she heard someone agree with her point of view: "It's troublesome, and you have to walk around and bow here and there. Although it's easy for you, the people below are also tired."

"I came here early in the morning, before the morning court even started. I changed my clothes, burned incense and took a bath. I just changed my clothes when you came."

At this point, Li Ying simply stopped thinking about other things and sat down on the chair without any manners. Then, as if she had thought of something, she asked:

"By the way, Chang Yonghe, when you went out today, did those annoying old guys come to bother you?"

"No, after what happened yesterday, and today is not a holiday, they should not come again." Chang An said, "But I can't guarantee that the matchmaker won't come."

"Does Madam Gu agree to your taking a concubine?" Li Ying asked, "Will they go to Madam Gu to get on her good side while you're away?"

Chang An smiled and shook his head, saying, "Although Gu Niang agrees with me taking a concubine, she doesn't support it. Besides, she just gave birth to a child and is now recuperating at home. How could she possibly meet guests?"

"Although my concierge can't do anything about those officials and ministers, it shouldn't be a problem to deal with the matchmakers. So I'm not worried about these things."

"That's right." Li Ying nodded in agreement.

Chang An took another sip of tea and asked, "Your Highness, are there any other formalities later?"

"No. If you want to go back now, you can go back." Li Ying replied, "I can also go with you to your home to see my nephew and niece."

Chang An smiled and nodded in agreement: "Okay."

"Then...shall we go now?" Li Ying was even more excited at this moment. He forgot all the fatigue of the morning and stood up suddenly.

"Walk."

As the teacher and the student walked out of the door, Eunuch Cheng appeared. After seeing the two, he asked, "Your Highness, Marquis Dingkang, are you planning to leave? Don't you plan to rest for a while?"

"No time to rest, no time to rest. We are planning to go to Chang Yonghe's home. Firstly, we can legitimately protect Marquis Dingkang and prevent him from being captured and taken away by his son-in-law; secondly, we can also see our two nephews." Li Ying laughed at this time.

"By the way, Eunuch Cheng, do you want to come with us? You are also sending Chang Yonghe home, so why not go and see Xiaoguai and Erguai together."

Eunuch Cheng was stunned for a moment, then quickly waved his hands and said, "No, no, last time, it was only because of the glory of Your Majesty and the three princes that I dared to offend you. Today, our family members really don't dare to do that."

Chang An said disapprovingly: "It's nothing, there are not so many taboos in our family. It's okay to take a look, no one will think that you are offending, Eunuch Cheng."

"this......"

Chang An was still a little hesitant when he saw Eunuch Cheng, so he simply walked up to him, put his hand on his shoulder, and whispered mysteriously: "Eunuch Cheng, do you think my Xiaoguai and Erguai are cute?"

"Of course it's cute." Eunuch Cheng nodded and continued speaking according to his heart.

"That's it. Let me ask you one more question: does Eunuch Cheng like my Xiaoguai and Erguai?" Chang An asked in a coaxing manner.

At this time, Eunuch Cheng blurted out: "My family likes it very much."

"That's it," Chang An let go of Eunuch Cheng at this time and said, "Eunuch Cheng, if you like it, then go and take a look?"

Eunuch Cheng realized at this moment that he had let the cat out of the bag. He tapped himself lightly with his whisk, then raised his hand and gestured cautiously: "Then...another offense?"

"Then let's go?"

"go!"

So, the three of them left the Imperial College, got on the carriage and went directly to Dingkanghou Mansion. At this time, Yang Shu, who had just finished dealing with the matter at hand, returned to the Confucius Temple and saw the empty temple. He was stunned for a moment:

"Where is His Highness? Where is Marquis Dingkang?"

"gone?"

......

Gu Li was at home at this time, holding the two little ones in his arms. The two little ones had their eyes open and their mouths slightly open. He didn't know what to do - should he cry to let his mother know that he was lively?

She was concentrating on playing with the two little ones when someone suddenly handed her a glass of water. Gu Li thought it was brought to her by Zhen'er or Huaiqin, so she simply didn't put the children down and accepted the water directly.

But after she finished drinking, her mouth was wiped by a hand. She realized something was wrong, so she looked up and saw Chang An holding the cup and turning around to put it down.

"Chang Lang!"

"Chang Lang is back!"

Chang An nodded and said, "Not only am I back, but His Highness and Eunuch Cheng are here too."

Gu Li then noticed Li Ying and Cheng Gonggong standing behind the low table, and he also greeted them politely. After greeting them, Gu Li asked, "Does Chang Lang want to hug them? They haven't been hugged by Aye today."

"Okay." Chang An nodded and took the two little ones.

At this time, Li Ying came over and looked at the two little guys. She liked them very much, and even liked them more and more. Li Ying soon found that Cheng Gonggong had been standing there and could only stand there and glance at them from time to time.

Chang An and Li Ying looked at each other, then walked forward and said, "Eunuch Cheng, if you want to see it, then you can see it."

Eunuch Cheng looked at Chang An at this time, and then he plucked up his courage and looked at Xiaoguai and Erguai who were still in their cradles. The more he looked at them, the more he liked them, and his eyes widened.

At this time, Chang An asked again: "Eunuch Cheng, do you want a hug?"

"No, no, I'm just a servant. I can just take a look, but I really don't dare to touch." Eunuch Cheng waved his hands quickly, not daring to overstep the line.

Chang An then asked, "Eunuch Cheng, where is this? Whose house is this?"

"This is your home, Marquis Dingkang's Mansion." Eunuch Cheng didn't know what Chang'an meant by this.

"That's right. In my family, as long as His Majesty is not around, everyone is equal." Chang An said, "In our family, there is no need to worry about whether it is offensive or not."

"Well... Of course, there are some things that really can't be done."

At this time, Eunuch Cheng looked at Gu Li tentatively and asked, "Madam Hou, this..."

Gu Li smiled and said, "What my Chang Lang said is true. If Eunuch Cheng really wants to hug me, then of course you can. There is no such thing as being offensive or not."

So, Eunuch Cheng put down his whisk and carefully took one of the little guys. He held it gently and rocked it gently, and the expression on his face gradually changed from nervousness to joy, and finally from joy to...

kindly?

But it seems that Eunuch Cheng is indeed old enough to be a grandfather.

"Marquis Dingkang, is the one in my arms now a young lady or a young lady?" Eunuch Cheng asked at this time.

Chang An looked at the one in his arms at this moment. The little one's eyes were sparkling, so Chang An replied, "The one in Eunuch Cheng's arms is the young master."

"How did you recognize him, Marquis Dingkang?"

"Look at the eyes. The brighter ones are the elder sister, and the darker ones are the younger brother."

"So that's it."

After holding the child for a while, Eunuch Cheng returned to the bedside and returned the child to Gu Li. He said, "Thank you, Madam Hou."

"it's nothing."

Gu Li replied, and then Li Ying was also satisfied, so he said to Eunuch Cheng: "Eunuch Cheng, let's go back to the palace now."

"Okay, Your Highness, please."

"Your Highness, can you stay a little longer?" Chang An said with a smile, "It will also allow Xiaoguai and Erguai to get to know your Highness as their uncle."

Li Ying waved her hand and said, "No need. It's not good to keep looking at her, and Madam Gu needs to rest. We won't bother her any more. You should also rest more. No need to see her off!"

Chang An could only smile and nod, then watch Li Ying and Eunuch Cheng leave.
