"Keep dreaming, anything can happen in dreams."
Li Chang'an suddenly realized and said with some surprise, "I understand now. So Your Highness has always dreamed of marrying me."
Huaiqing was so angry that he laughed. His previous annoyance vanished instantly. He scolded, "A great scholar and a great hero, yet you are such a glib and shameless person."
Li Chang'an seized the opportunity and grabbed Huaiqing's hand. The other man struggled a few times but failed. Instead, his face turned red and he turned away again.
"Scoundrel."
If you act like a great scholar or a chivalrous knight, how can you possibly attract a good woman?
If all good men put on airs and act like nice guys, wouldn't all the beautiful women be snatched up by blondies? So men have to be a little shameless.
Li Chang'an could see clearly that after a year, Huaiqing's emotional value had finally reached 100, which was now at its maximum.
During the Lantern Festival, Huaiqing's affection value reached 90, and now it's finally full.
“I can’t control dreams, and I can’t help you fulfill your dreams, but I can make my words come true. For example, if I say that Huaiqing is my wife… guess what will happen?”
Huaiqing chuckled, "If words could be law, the great scholars of Yunlu Academy wouldn't be so frustrated. They could just say that His Majesty has taken a liking to Yunlu Academy."
Huaiqing turned his face.
After Li Chang'an finished speaking, his words became law, and Huaiqing unconsciously turned his face away.
Her beautiful cheeks flushed crimson, and she said with a mixture of delight and reproach, "Li Chang'an, you're bullying me too much!"
The powerful princess had never been so passive before, and she wasn't quite used to it, but she still felt a sweet warmth in her heart.
Because Li Chang'an said that if he had to marry a princess, he would marry himself, not Lin'an.
After hearing this, the gloom in Huaiqing's heart completely dissipated, leaving only a clear blue sky.
The two locked eyes. Huaiqing was still in a state of joy when he noticed Li Chang'an's hand reaching behind his head.
By the time she realized what was happening, Li Chang'an had already pulled her a few inches closer, and his full red lips were firmly captured by hers.
"Um... um..."
Huaiqing was shocked and panicked. He tried to struggle involuntarily, but Li Chang'an held him firmly.
A strange feeling spread throughout her body. Huaiqing's hands, which had been trying to struggle, held Li Chang'an tightly, and her toes, which had been kicking wildly at first, became straight.
Li Chang'an skillfully seized Huaiqing's softness and sweetness.
Huaiqing's mind went blank and her body went limp. She held her lover tightly, deeply immersed in the moment.
Huaiqing leaned against Li Chang'an, panting, her face flushed. The two hadn't gone any further; this pace was probably the limit Huaiqing could accept.
Huaiqing is not like Fuxiang, who can get straight to the point, nor is she like Xu Lingyue, who can take whatever she wants.
Having gone through this experience, Huaiqing will often recall and reminisce about it, gradually becoming unable to extricate herself from the memory.
"Are you and Lin'an... in the same situation?"
Huaiqing gazed tenderly at Li Chang'an with her watery eyes, a slight smile playing on her lips. Her words contained worry, curiosity, and a competitive spirit.
"No, she's still young, she doesn't know as much as you do, she won't."
Li Chang'an was telling the truth. Lin'an was younger and still at the age where if she fell in love, she would be with him forever.
Huaiqing was overjoyed, as if he had won a great victory, and a smile couldn't help but spread across his face.
She pinched Li Chang'an's waist and snorted, "I don't know either, you taught me."
Then, Huaiqing stood up, straightened her gorgeous moon-white dress, and her depressed and aggrieved emotions were soothed by Li Chang'an. The Great Feng Princess regained her dignified and graceful appearance.
"I'm leaving now; I've stayed too long this time."
Li Chang'an asked, "Huaiqing, go and consult the Imperial Advisor. Perhaps the marriage of the Great Feng Princess in the next two years will be unlucky for her parents."
This is an attempt to collude with the Imperial Advisor to deceive the Emperor. The Emperor listens to the Imperial Advisor the most. Huaiqing looked astonished and said, "You are in cahoots with the Imperial Advisor!"
The Imperial Preceptor Luo Yuheng never associates with court officials, and ordinary people can hardly see her. Li Chang'an's statement clearly indicates that he is certain that Luo Yuheng will help him cover up this matter.
Li Chang'an said calmly, "It's not so much collusion as it is, we're just fellow Daoists."
Although Luo Yuheng, who was equally stunning, was high above others and shouldn't have any ambiguous relationship with Li Chang'an, Huaiqing still felt uneasy.
"If the Imperial Advisor is willing to help, that would be a good idea. But you are really bold to collude with the Imperial Advisor to deceive the Emperor!"
Li Chang'an said nonchalantly, "Not only that, I seduced the princess and conspired with the imperial advisor to deceive the emperor!"
Huaiqing lifted her skirt and gracefully walked out of the study. "Not only do you dare to seduce, but you seduce two princesses at the same time. Li Chang'an, you are truly audacious!"
Huaiqing walked out of Li Chang'an's study, reverting to her aloof demeanor. She was in a particularly good mood and wished she could imitate Lin'an's childish manner and skip a few steps.
At the gate, Huaiqing encountered Xu Qi'an, who had just walked in.
Xu Qi'an had a bandage around his neck and one arm dangling from it, looking pitiful with his arm hanging down.
"This humble subject, Xu Qi'an, pays his respects to Your Highness, the Eldest Princess!"
Xu Qi'an knelt down skillfully, not daring to look at Huai Qing for long. This woman was cold and aloof, and although she was beautiful, he dared not look at her for too long.
Moreover, she frequently visits Li Chang'an's residence, and perhaps she will become a master's wife in the future. Xu Qi'an couldn't help but sigh, "My master has such good taste!"
"Get up. You have helped your master solve a major case of embezzlement of treasury funds. Report to the night watchman's office in three days."
Huaiqing didn't discuss it with Li Chang'an because she thought it was a small matter. Being a night watchman was much better than being a clerk in the county government.
"This humble subject thanks Your Highness!"
Huaiqing walked past Xu Qi'an and said, "Thank you, Master."
Xu Qi'an watched Huaiqing and the others leave by car, then stood up from the ground. "It seems Master has really pleased the aloof princess. He's truly extraordinary!"
Upon meeting Li Chang'an, Xu Qi'an took out the jade mirror without hesitation and respectfully told Li Chang'an everything Jinlian had said.
Li Chang'an didn't hide anything and took out a small jade mirror from his pocket, and the two of them laid their cards on the table.
"These are all tricks of the Earth Sect, but it is true that we can use the other people to find out information in time and help each other."
Xu Qi'an was relieved. His master was number seven, and he was number three. There was no doubt about it.
“Master, the Princess just told me to report to the Night Watchmen’s Office in three days. She also said that I should thank you for this opportunity.”
Li Chang'an chuckled inwardly. Huaiqing was already acting like a master's wife and had started arranging disciples for him.
"Then go ahead. You can find an opportunity to tell Wei Yuan about the jade mirror, but don't tell anyone about your teacher."
"Wei Yuan should like your temperament. If you curry favor with him, I won't have to worry about your trivial matters in the capital."
Xu Qi'an repeatedly agreed, feeling grateful to his master Li Chang'an. He had completely let down his guard against Li Chang'an ever since Li Chang'an destroyed the Zhou family.
Now Li Chang'an has arranged his future very clearly, even more so than his own father.
Li Chang'an looked at Xu Qi'an with a half-smile and said, "By the way, I helped you open the Heavenly Gate. After you advance to the eighth rank, going to the Jiaofangsi won't be so difficult for you."
Upon hearing Li Chang'an's words, Xu Qi'an felt an urge to kneel down and call him "father." There was nothing more frustrating in the world than being able to watch others socialize in a brothel.
"Master understands me best, I am deeply grateful!"
The higher the rank of a martial artist, the easier it is for them to open the Heavenly Gate for lower-ranked martial artists. Li Chang'an simply pointed, and a powerful martial artist's aura shot out from his fingertips.
Then, the energy reached Xu Qi'an's dantian, and Xu Qi'an immediately felt hot all over, as an invisible shackle was torn apart in an instant.
Xu Qi'an was grateful that he felt as light as a swallow, and that his muscles and bones were even more agile and powerful. He was confident that his current combat strength would definitely surpass that of his previous life!
As Xu Qi'an headed to the Jiaofangsi (a government-run entertainment district), Huaiqing's carriage arrived at Lingbao Temple.
"Please inform the Taoist priest that Huaiqing requests an audience with the Imperial Preceptor."
This is Luo Yuheng's status; even the company commander and princess have to treat him with utmost respect when they want to meet him.
Chapter 302 Biao Biao: Li Chang'an, do you want to consummate your marriage with me?
Huaiqing had only met the Imperial Preceptor Luo Yuheng on some formal occasions, and this was the first time they had met so closely.
Looking at the Imperial Advisor's face, you couldn't tell that she was older than you; she seemed to be your peer.
In fact, Huaiqing harbored some hostility towards Luo Yuheng because Emperor Yuanjing was obsessed with Taoist cultivation, and the Imperial Preceptor was the one who guided the emperor in his Taoist practice.
However, she was also very clear that it was her father who had become obsessed with Taoist cultivation, which was why he invited Luo Yuheng to serve as the imperial advisor. Therefore, the problem still lay with her father.
The two stunningly beautiful faces gazed at each other, until finally the Imperial Advisor broke the silence.
"Your Highness is a rare guest." Luo Yuheng's expression revealed neither joy nor sorrow.
"I have come here on someone's behalf. My father intends to make Li Chang'an the prince consort of Lin'an. Li Chang'an said he came to consult the Imperial Advisor to predict the auspiciousness or inauspiciousness of this marriage."
Luo Yuheng narrowed his eyes, pondering what Li Chang'an was up to.
In Luo Yuheng's eyes, Li Chang'an had extraordinary luck, enormous potential for cultivation, a very mysterious background, and an unclear relationship between friend and foe.
"What did he say?"
"He said to have me consult the Imperial Advisor, who said that perhaps the marriage of the Great Feng Princess in the next two years would be unlucky for her parents." Huaiqing relayed the words verbatim without further explanation.
She was also observing Luo Yuheng's every move, trying to guess his relationship with Li Chang'an.
The Emperor wanted to cultivate with the Imperial Advisor, but the Imperial Advisor had always disagreed, and this rumor was rampant.
Luo Yuheng pondered these words and almost instantly understood Li Chang'an's meaning. So this was a set topic, and by having her say it, it became the best shield.
Emperor Yuanjing, that old bastard, didn't care much about the country and its people; what he cared about most was his own immortality.
