"Uh-huh!"
The Empress and Consort Chen sat side by side, their faces both looking increasingly grim.
However, as Huaiqing uttered these words, the Empress's expression gradually softened.
"Given Huaiqing's personality, if she were to compete with others for a man, she must have given up a lot of dignity."
"She met a man who made her let down her guard."
"Wasn't it the same when Wei Yuan and I eloped back then?"
"At the time, we were even prepared to give up everything!"
"Huaiqing, do you know your father's attitude towards Li Chang'an...?"
"Never repeat the mistakes of Mother."
As for Consort Chen, she was furious.
"What is Li Chang'an planning to do? Does he intend to marry two princesses?!"
"Is he out of his mind? Isn't he afraid of His Majesty's punishment?!"
“Sentencing… Li Chang’an’s strength seems to have become quite formidable.”
"This stupid girl, how dare she..."
……
Wei Yuan suddenly laughed, "Brother Li, you really do whatever you want."
At the same time, he thought to himself, "Compared to him, my life has been too frustrating."
The golden and silver gong players behind him stood like wooden sculptures, speechless for a long time.
The rough-around-the-edges Jiang Luzhong couldn't help but mutter, "Brother Li still holds the title of the Golden Gong Night Watchman after all."
"I am proud to be a member of the Golden Rooster Association."
The other gold gong players once again showed intense envy on their faces.
"To live such a magnificent life is to have lived a worthwhile existence," Zhang Kaitai remarked sincerely.
Xu Lingyue stared intently at Li Chang'an, her increasingly plump oval face beaming with joy.
Li Ru said in a low voice, "Neither of these princesses seems to be easy to deal with. What are you laughing at?"
"My husband is a man who can marry two princesses; there is no other like him in the world."
Li Ru rolled her eyes and surprisingly found her daughter's words to make a lot of sense.
Wei Yuan said to Yang Yan, "Go, move two more seats."
Yang Yan responded and left, but Nangong Qianrou didn't take it seriously.
"Godfather, His Highness Lin'an will probably be scared away."
"She always fled in panic whenever she encountered Prince Huaiqing before."
Wei Yuan smiled calmly, "Xiao Rou, take a closer look."
As he said this, the crowd erupted in noise again.
"Look! Look! Prince Lin'an is standing up too!"
"Now there's something good to watch!"
"It seems the two princesses are going to clash this time."
"Oh dear! Who should we choose for the Marquis of Jingning!"
Compared to the many bustling areas, the area for court officials was the quietest.
Led by Chief Minister Wang, the ministers sat upright, suppressing their urge to comment.
This is the emperor's daughter; if she says anything wrong, the nearby censors will severely impeach her.
Where everyone's eyes were focused, Lin'an, dressed in a red dress, suddenly turned her face away, avoiding eye contact with Huaiqing.
Then, she continued to straighten her chest and hold tightly to Li Chang'an's right arm.
"Li Chang'an, even if Huaiqing kills me today, I will not let go!"
The greatest courage I've ever mustered in my life has finally been revealed.
Because she knew that backing down now would be worse than being beaten thousands of times over!
Li Chang'an held Lin'an's small hand and comforted her, "Lin'an, what are you thinking about?"
"We're all sisters, stop always talking about fighting and killing each other."
Viewers in many places have even begun to speculate about what choice Li Chang'an will make.
"I choose Prince Lin'an. Prince Lin'an is straightforward and adorable!"
"I choose Prince Huaiqing. Prince Huaiqing is dignified and elegant!"
"Red roses and white moonlight, it seems so hard to choose!"
"Hey, hey, hey! Look!"
"The Marquis of Jingning wants them all!"
Li Chang'an smiled at the angelic Huaiqing, "Huaiqing, I was planning to invite you over, but I didn't expect you to come by yourself."
If anyone else said that, Huaiqing would definitely think that he didn't have the guts.
However, the fact that Li Chang'an said this means that he really would do it.
This was also Li Chang'an's true thought.
Huaiqing is his woman, and it wouldn't be right to abandon her in this situation.
After all, Huaiqing and Biaobiao are the same man's women.
"Li Lang is very kind."
Huaiqing always wore a calm smile.
She stepped forward, grasped Li Chang'an's outstretched hand, and firmly held onto Li Chang'an's left arm.
The two princesses stood on either side of Li Chang'an.
Lin'an discovered that the gaze Huaiqing gave her was the gentlest she had ever seen since she was born.
He tried to steal her man by using his own cunning, and she doesn't even mind?
Is it possible that a woman like Huaiqing would be willing to share a man with someone else?
No, Li Chang'an already has a concubine.
If both I and Huaiqing marry Li Chang'an, who will be the elder and who the younger?
"Li Lang, where shall we sit?" Huaiqing said softly.
Li Chang'an pointed to Wei Yuan's seat, where three seats were placed next to him.
Wei Qingyi, who was usually serious and unsmiling, stood up and waved to him with a smile.
"Let's go to Brother Wei's place."
The audience watching the duel suddenly realized that the entrance of the Marquis of Jingning was even more exciting than the duel itself.
Suddenly someone shouted "Marquis Jingning," and the sound spread far and wide.
The entire audience was chanting "Marquis Jingning," though they didn't even know why.
Because he was famous throughout the world, because he defeated the Dharma Minister and enhanced the prestige of the country, or perhaps simply because he was seen with two princesses.
Amidst the overwhelming cheers, Hengyuan quietly ascended the Star Gazing Tower.
He had assumed the cheers were a welcome to him.
But upon closer inspection, he realized that it seemed no one had noticed him going on stage.
"As expected of Benefactor Li, you are so radiant wherever you go."
At the top of a building, Luo Yuheng's spirit quietly stood.
Her beautiful eyes stared coldly at Li Chang'an, her heart filled with a mix of emotions.
"I initially thought Li Chang'an was good-looking, but now that I see him, I find him inexplicably hateful!"
"Those two princesses seem to be deeply in love with him; he really is a promiscuous playboy."
"They even claimed that our dual cultivation was a partnership of kindred spirits, not a simple transaction—it's all a deceptive tactic!"
On the highest platform of the palace, Emperor Yuanjing coldly watched all of this.
"Li Chang'an is still indulging in worldly vanity and women, while I am already pursuing a higher realm!"
"Li Chang'an, the glory you possess now, I grew tired of decades ago!"
"You cultivate Confucianism and are blessed with good fortune, but you will not live forever. Such fleeting glory is actually meaningless."
His gaze toward Li Chang'an was filled with contempt and disdain.
"It's not time to turn against him yet. Let's wait for the Prince of Huai's clone to successfully break through."
