My name is Chang An, your name is Gu Li

Chapter 108 Going to Qi Wang Mansion

Gu Li took out all the clothes in the closet and even rummaged through the suitcase, and finally picked out a piece of clothing that he was satisfied with.

After she found the orange dress, she held it in front of Chang An like a treasure and asked, "Chang Lang, look, what do you think of this dress?"

Chang An smiled and nodded, saying, "It looks good."

"But it doesn't look very gorgeous, and I don't know if it's suitable." Gu Li pouted again and said.

"At a banquet like this, you can't judge a person's splendor by their clothes." Chang An gently tapped Gu Li's forehead, "My Gu Niang is well-educated and well-mannered. Anyone who has a good eye can tell that my Gu Niang is a lady."

Gu Li was a little overjoyed by Chang An's praise, but he still said, "It's not as good as Chang Lang said."

"You've learned to be modest." Chang An said with a smile, "Go and dress up quickly. You never know when the King Qi's carriage will arrive."

Gu Li stood up with a smile, and as he prepared to change his clothes, he said, "As you wish, Lord Jikang."

Gu Li quickly changed her clothes, then sat down in front of her dressing table and began to dress up while asking, "Chang Lang, don't you want to change your clothes?"

"That's right." Chang An looked down at the clothes he was wearing. They were still the clothes from the Imperial College, so he casually went to the closet, took out a silver-white robe, and put it on.

As usual, Gu Li simply put on some light makeup, put a small flower on her forehead, and then put on the diamond hairpin that Chang An gave her. After doing all this, Gu Li turned around and asked:

"How is it, Chang Lang, do I look good now?"

Chang An of course looked at Gu Li carefully from head to toe, then nodded and said, "Not good-looking, but very beautiful."

Gu Li was no longer modest this time, but said in a cocky way: "Of course, I have dressed up nicely."

After saying that, Gu Li looked at Chang An's attire: a silver-white robe; a black belt, on which hung the two jade pendants that he had carved himself, plus a sachet.

She tilted her head and frowned slightly. After thinking for a while, she took out the basket she used for embroidery, took out the needle and thread from it, directly took Chang'an's hand, and started sewing on the sleeve.

Chang An raised his eyebrows and asked, "What is Gu Niang doing?"

"Chang Lang's robe is too plain. I want to add some embroidered floral prints to Chang Lang's clothes." Gu Li said as he moved the needle in his hand.

In order not to disturb Gu Li, Chang An could only keep her hands on the table. Gu Li's embroidery skills were also very exquisite. When she was threading the needle, the needle never touched Chang An.

Chang An looked at Gu Li like this, frowning, with a very focused look. She waited until Gu Li breathed a sigh of relief, tied a knot, lowered her head slightly, bit off the thread, and moved the needle and thread out of Chang An's sleeve.

"Okay!" Gu Li put the needle and thread back into the basket, then stretched out his little hand and patted the flower print he had embroidered.

Chang An also came over and looked at the flower print - it was a linear object, but it had some width and was not a straight line, but had a zigzag appearance.

"Mother Gu, what is this pattern?" Chang An asked with some confusion.

"This is thunder and lightning," Gu Li said with satisfaction, "Others have always said that Chang Lang's method is some kind of thunder and lightning method, so I will embroider a thunder and lightning pattern on the corner of Chang Lang's sleeve."

"My mother Gu is so great!" Chang An said, lifting Gu Li's chin and then touching her lips.

At this time, Huaiqin's voice came from outside the door: "Young Master, Sanniang, there is a carriage at the door, saying they are here to pick you up."

Chang An naturally knew what kind of carriage was coming at this time, and said, "We'll be there right away."

Then Chang An picked up the more ordinary invitation, and the gold-stamped invitation was hidden in the drawer of the dressing table by Gu Li. Then the two left the room and followed Huaiqin to the gate of Chang's house.

Outside the door was a large carriage, almost the same as the one Li Ying had brought that day—except that the color of the carriage was not yellow. The driver was the servant who had brought the invitation to Chang An at noon. He said:

"Mr. Chang, Madam Gu, you two may get in the car now."

Chang An raised his head, looked at the sky, and asked, "Is it too early to go now?"

"It's mainly because the prince wants to see you first." The servant said with a smile, "Don't worry, Mr. Chang, there is no one else in Prince Qi's mansion at this time."

Chang An and Gu Li looked at each other and got on the carriage. At this time, the driver shouted "Sit tight, both of you" and started the carriage.

The two of them sat in the carriage, especially Gu Curious Baby Li, who looked up at the big carriage, seeming to find it very novel. Chang An held her hand and smiled as he watched her look around curiously in the carriage.

"Chang Lang," Gu Li leaned closer to Chang An and whispered, "This carriage is so big, even bigger than ours."

"He is a prince and our brother. How can his carriage not be big?" Chang An explained with a smile.

"That's right." Gu Li nodded and said, "But I still feel that our own carriage is more comfortable to sit in. No matter how comfortable this carriage is, I won't get used to it."

"Not used to it?" Chang An raised his eyebrows, and then directly carried Gu Li to his lap, letting her sit on his lap, and then asked: "Are you used to this?"

"I'm used to it now." Gu Li laughed.

Not long after, the carriage entered Anxingfang and arrived at the Prince Qi's Mansion in the southeast. Then the driver said:

"You two, we have arrived at Prince Qi's mansion."

The two of them got off the carriage and saw a luxurious house in front of them. It looked much bigger than Chang's house. When the doorman saw them, he opened the door and said:

"Please come in quickly, the prince has been waiting for you in the palace for a long time."

Afterwards, the two followed the servant into Prince Qi's mansion, and then followed him all the way to a courtyard. When the servant arrived at the door, he stopped moving forward and led Chang An and Gu Li to the door, then shouted:

"Your Majesty, Mr. Li, Lord Ji Kangbo and Lady Ji Kangbo are here."

There is also a Mr. Li? Just when Chang An was somewhat confused and alert, Qi Wang Li Fan came out, followed by Li Guinian.

"Mr. Ji Kangbo is here!" Li Fan said enthusiastically after seeing Chang An.

"Greetings, Prince Qi." Chang An and Gu Li bowed to Li Fan together.

At this time, Li Guinian also spoke up and saluted, "Greetings, Earl Ji Kang."

"Mr. Li." Chang An and Gu Li also smiled and bowed to Li Guinian.

"I didn't expect that Earl Ji Kang still remembered me." Li Guinian smiled, and then bowed to Gu Li: "Meetings, Madam Ji Kang."

"Mr. Li." Gu Li naturally returned the greeting.

"Okay, okay, that's enough of the red tape, let's go in and talk." Li Fan turned sideways and said with a smile.

Afterwards, several people entered the courtyard in order of status, Chang An came next, then Gu Li, and finally Li Guinian. Then they came to the courtyard, where there were many flowers and plants, and even an old tree. There was also a set of stone tables and stone benches in the middle of the courtyard. Li Fan sat down first, then stretched out his hand and greeted:

"Mr. Ji Kangbo, Madam Chang, please."

"Thank you, Your Highness." Chang An and Gu Li nodded slightly to Li Fan, and then sat down together. Finally, it was Li Guinian who sat next to Li Fan.

"Have you ever been curious, Lord Ji Kang, about why I know your identity?" Li Fan picked up the teapot and poured a cup for each of Chang An and Gu Li.

"Now in the eyes of outsiders, I am openly his Highness's person, and the prince has a close relationship with his Highness, so it is not surprising that he knows this." Chang An and Gu Li held up the teacups in both hands and gestured to Li Fan.

"It was indeed His Highness who told me." Li Fan said with a smile, "I also want to see what kind of talent Ji Kangbo, the one my brother personally ordered and tried so hard to protect, is."

"I dare not, I dare not." Chang An said modestly.

"But actually, this matter doesn't need my attention. It's nothing to blame Feng Bo for being able to come up with a plan to get rid of such a tumor as evil money."

Chang An had no way of responding and could only smile awkwardly.

Li Fan looked at Chang An and smiled to show his understanding. After all, he was still young. Then he said, "Since the Lord and His Highness both want to protect you, they have their reasons. Then I will also help you."

"Help...me?" Chang An and Gu Li looked at each other with some confusion.

"Yes, there are rumors now that you, Ji Kangbo, are His Highness's man, and I also have some interactions with His Highness on a daily basis. If Ji Kangbo knows His Highness but not me, wouldn't that arouse suspicion?" Li Fan said with a smile.

"And what I want to do is to invite you, Ji Kangbo, to my Qi Palace and attend my banquet. I will use my banquet to give your identity an extra layer of protection."

At this moment, Chang An was a little bit at a loss, because Li Fan's sudden help was really a bit nervous. How could a royal family member let him take advantage of him like this?

"Of course, I don't want you to do me a favor for nothing." Seeing Chang An's expression, Li Fan didn't keep him in suspense and said directly.

Fortunately, it was not a favor for nothing. Chang An and Gu Li breathed a sigh of relief and then asked, "Your Majesty, please speak."

"It's very simple. I help you not only because of your talent, but also for the sake of the Tang Dynasty. You are a talented person and you were made a marquis at a young age. And what you have to repay me is to assist my brother with all your strength." Li Fan said.

"I hope that you, Ji Kangbo, can become the second Wei Zheng."

Chang An smiled and said, "Your Highness, there is no need to remind me. I have been granted a title and a title, which means I am eating the emperor's salary. It is natural for me to share your worries."

"That's good. If you have any problems in the future, you can come to me." Li Fan poured tea for Chang An and Gu Li again and said with a smile.

"Thank you, Your Majesty."
