My name is Chang An, your name is Gu Li

Chang An and Wu Qinghui were in a stalemate, and the atmosphere was tense. Gu Li should have seen something at this point, so he reached out and placed his hand on the back of Chang An's hand, squeezing it gently.

With this pinch, Chang An's emotions instantly dissipated, and then he changed his eyes and looked at Gu Li.

Gu Li breathed a sigh of relief, looked at Wu Qinghui and said, "Jieyu Wu, although I know my face is useless, I still hope that Jieyu Wu can consider that today is my birthday and not talk about official business."

"You are our guest today, so we should entertain you. If you want to stay and have a meal together, we welcome you."

Wu Qinghui smiled in return and said, "Okay, thank you for your hospitality today, Madam."

"Chang Yonghe! Madam Gu!"

Chang An and others turned their eyes over - Li Ying and Li Siqing.

Wu Qinghui smiled faintly, and knew who was coming without even looking. Li Ying also noticed Wu Qinghui sitting in the main hall, and his eyes changed slightly, but soon returned to normal.

Li Ying and Li Siqing walked directly in front of Chang An and Gu Li, then handed the brocade box in their hands to Gu Li and said, "Today is your birthday, Madam Gu, so I brought you a gift."

Gu Li smiled faintly and said, "Your Highness's coming here is the greatest honor, why bother with all this?"

"Hey, you are the wife of my good friend, it is only natural for me to give you a gift!" Li Ying said as she opened the box, revealing a pearl necklace inside.

Li Siqing gave him a beautiful pearl hairpin, but at this moment, she saw the golden fan that Gu Li placed on his lap and was stunned for a moment. Then she leaned over to Chang An and asked, "Is this fan a gift from my father?"

"It is a reward from His Majesty."

Chang An nodded slightly, and Li Siqing was even more surprised at this time: "This fan is something that even Wu Qinghui couldn't ask for, and you got it now? I think you are my father's favorite concubine, right?"

"What nonsense are you talking about, Your Highness!" Chang An said in a low and hoarse voice.

Li Ying looked at her sister at this time, somewhat speechless, and then pulled Chang An up, urging: "Let's go talk aside."

Helplessly, Chang An was dragged by Li Ying to the courtyard outside. He said with some surprise: "What's wrong, Your Highness? Is there anything that can't be said there?"

"Of course not!" Li Ying said, "Let's talk about Wu Qinghui first. Why is she here today?"

"Why else? Isn't it to find something to hold against me?" Chang An said.

"I think she must have been mad when she came here." Li Ying said with a smile, "Do you know what happened to the fan in the harem?"

Chang An shook his head and said, "What's the matter with this fan?"

"This gold-thread plum fan is very expensive. The entire fan, except for the fan surface, is made of gold. Apart from this finished product, there are many damaged ones left," Li Ying explained.

"It can be said that this fan is unique in the whole Tang Dynasty. Many concubines in the palace want it, in addition to Wu Qinghui, my mother and Liu Cairen also want it. To be impolite, it has reached the point of fighting for it."

Chang An raised his eyebrows and asked quickly, "Could it be that Your Majesty gave the wrong gift? What if it wasn't a fan?"

"That's unlikely. After all, this gift was really picked out by my father himself. If he hadn't picked it out, Eunuch Cheng would have just come over with a bunch of them." Li Ying directly denied Chang An's idea at this time.

Chang An swallowed his saliva and asked, "What does Your Highness want to say?"

"Oh, I originally wanted to come with Eunuch Cheng today, but I was stopped by Gao Lishi on the way." Li Ying said at this time, "Then what I want to say is what Gao Lishi told me."

As he spoke, Li Ying's expression began to become serious: "Yuwen Rong impeached you."

"That is to say, Wu Qinghui really started doing that kind of thing!"

After Chang An heard this, he said, "Then we can tell Queen Wang and Concubine Zhao Lifei and the others. It's time for us to get started."

"But wouldn't this be a bit too much? And what's the difference between our approach and Wu Qinghui's?" Li Ying was a little worried at this time.

"It won't be too much, after all, it is considered... 'reciprocity'." Chang An said with a smile, "And there is a saying that goes, treat the disease with the right medicine and eat the food with the right dish. We have to use the right method according to the opponent."

"Although we cannot stand on the same side as her, we must stand at her eye level and compete with her."

"But I still don't know why the Queen and my mother were willing to agree." Li Ying was still confused.

Chang An smiled and said, "After all, they have been in the harem for many years. If they can't see the benefits and disadvantages, then it's wrong."

Li Ying thought about it again, but in the end he could not come up with anything, so he had to take him back to the house. The atmosphere in the house seemed peaceful, Li Siqing and Gu Li leaned against each other, holding the golden fan in their hands and admiring it, and Li Siqing explained to Gu Li from time to time.

Seeing Chang An walking back into the house, Li Siqing stood up and sat on the guest seat. I don't know if the two little ones were bored staying outside alone, so they ran in, shouting as they ran:

"Auntie!"

"Auntie!"

Wu Qinghui was stunned for a moment, then turned around and watched the two little ones running straight towards Gu Li. When they ran to Gu Li's feet, Gu Li gently supported them to avoid bumping into them.

Chang An noticed some small changes in Wu Qinghui at this time, but he quickly retracted his gaze. Then he looked at Xiaoguai and Erguai and said, "Xiaoguai and Erguai, your uncle and aunt are here."

The two little ones raised their heads at this time, and two pairs of eyes looked around the room.

"Old Uncle, Uncle Wang, Aunt Cui, Grandpa Cheng..."

Xiaoguai stretched out his little finger and pointed at people in the room. When he finally pointed, the two kids were surprised to see Li Ying and Li Siqing. Then he hugged A Niang's thigh and waved to them.

Li Siqing knew how to please the two little ones. She stretched out her hand, and the maid behind her took out a small bag. Li Siqing leaned over slightly, shaking and saying, "Little darling, come here, have some snacks."

Xiaoguai and Erguai ran over at the same time and sat next to Li Siqing. Li Siqing took out two dim sum from his pocket, one for each of them.

At this time, Li Ying also wanted to join in the fun, and stretched out his hand to hug Erguai, who was closest to him, but was slapped back by Li Siqing's hand. He withdrew his hand in pain, and then Li Siqing said:

"If you want Xiaoguai and Erguai to kiss you, you have to rely on your own ability! What's the point of trying to steal my achievements?"

At this time, Li Ying came up to Erguai and asked, "Erguai, do you want to come to your uncle? Can you let your uncle hug you?"

Erguai shook his head decisively at this time and said, "You can't hold him while he's eating, it will dirty his clothes. Um...do you want to eat, little uncle?"

As he said that, Erguai raised the cake in his hand high and wanted to feed it to Li Ying. At this time, His Royal Highness secretly glanced at Li Siqing beside him. At this time, she had already taken a small bite from Xiaoguai and was eating it while holding Xiaoguai.

So he tried to take a bite, but was hit by a hand.

Wu Qinghui looked at the four of them, feeling mixed emotions. But soon, she looked away, her eyes charming but shrewd, and she became the granddaughter of the Wu family again.

......

After lunch, which was Gu Li's birthday banquet, all the guests were ready to leave. Wu Qinghui certainly didn't want to stay here any longer, so she was the first to leave. She got on her own carriage and asked the eunuch to drive away, not even caring about Eunuch Cheng.

Helplessly, Eunuch Cheng had to go back with Li Ying and Li Siqing. Yuan Qianyao and Wang Wei went together because their homes were close. At this time, Song Jing was the only guest left at home.

Song Jing sighed at this time, looked outside the door, and then said: "Yonghe, there are some things I need to tell you."

Chang An's face became slightly solemn, and then he said to Gu Li: "Mother Gu, take the child back to the house first."

"Well, Chang Lang should also rest quickly later." Gu Li didn't ask any more questions. He nodded and took the two kids back to the house. Even the doorman and the maid beside them tactfully walked away.

At this point, Chang An and Song Jing were the only two people left in the entire front yard area.

"Sir, do you have anything to tell me?" Chang An asked at this time.

Song Jing thought for a while, and finally asked: "Yonghe, are you against Concubine Wu now?"

Chang An was stunned for a moment, but soon recovered and did not comment. When Song Jing saw his reaction, he understood a little and said, "People in the harem cannot disrupt the government. On the other hand, ministers are not allowed to participate in the affairs of the harem."

"What's going on with you? I don't remember any of your friends being concubines in the palace."

Chang An looked embarrassed at this time, scratched his head like a child who had done something wrong, and said: "Sir, are you really going to ask about this matter?"

Song Jing shook his head and said, "Don't you know about the Empress's dethronement? Who doesn't know that Concubine Wu wants to be the Empress? Only a few of us old guys, who have enjoyed the Empress's favor, want to keep the Empress."

"Even His Majesty really intends to depose the queen and establish a new one."

"The student knows, so my purpose now is the same as yours, but the approach is different..."

At the gate of Anrenfang, the eunuch driving the carriage asked, "Your Highness, are we going back to the palace now?"

"Let's not go back to the palace yet." Concubine Wu sat in the carriage and said:

"Go to Prince Ning's Mansion."
