My name is Chang An, your name is Gu Li

Chapter 167 Your Majesty, You Are Too Kind

After hearing what Li Longji said, Chang An and Gu Li were both stunned. They could not imagine that such a mysterious question today was actually about this!

When Li Longji saw that Chang An and Gu Li did not answer, he called out again: "Ji Kangbo? Can you?"

"Your Majesty, of course you can." Chang An said, "But you can't eat too much hot pot, as it will cause internal heat and grease, which can easily hurt your Majesty's dragon body."

"I'll remember that!" Li Longji laughed happily, and then asked, "Why don't Ji Kangbo and Zichuan County Lady stay in the palace and have dinner together today?"

"This..." Chang An and Gu Li didn't know whether to refuse or agree. They looked at each other, not knowing how to respond.

"Don't refuse. Today, Ji Kangbo will go to the kitchen to teach the cooks how to make hot pot and dumplings. Regardless of anything else, it will be a merit as long as you pay tribute to me. I will allow you to have dinner with me. How about it?"

Li Longji smiled and said, although he is an emperor, he is also a human being, and he will naturally be tempted when he sees delicious food. Besides, there are not many people around, so he just mentioned it.

"How is it? Can I give you face?"

"Thank you, Your Majesty." Li Longji nodded. At this moment, they suddenly heard the voices of Li Ying and Li Ke'er again.

"Sister, I have to go talk to Chang Yong and make things clear with him, otherwise what should I do if he doesn't want to be my friend anymore!" Li Ying said.

"But have you forgotten how much trouble Ji Kangbo caused because you wanted to leave the palace without permission two days ago?" Li Ke'er said, "Are you going to cause trouble for Ji Kangbo again today?"

Li Ying pleaded, "I'm really not going to cause trouble for him. I'll be back soon and my father won't find out."

"No! You are the crown prince of a country and you cannot leave the palace at will!" Li Ke'er still refused the other party's request.

"But I have to make it clear..." Li Ying was still insistent, "I couldn't make it clear the day before yesterday, so I have to make it clear today."

Li Keer looked at Li Ying and said, "How about this? What do you want to say? I'll send someone to write a letter to Ji Kangbo and tell him about this matter. What do you think?"

"Do not……"

"Ahem!"

Hearing this, Li Longji coughed, attracting the attention of the two siblings. The two of them only then realized that they had arrived in front of the hall where Li Longji worked, and hurried in to greet Li Longji:

"Father."

Li Longji looked at Li Ying and asked, "I just heard that you were going to sneak out of the palace again?"

Li Ying had originally hoped that Li Longji had not heard of this, but now that he had been asked, he could not deny it: "Yes, father."

"Then look at who is around me?" Li Longji suddenly said.

Li Ying raised his eyes carefully, and then he saw Chang An and Gu Li standing beside Li Longji. His eyes flashed with excitement, but he quickly returned to normal, and then he and Li Ke'er saluted to Chang An and Gu Li and said:

"Greetings to Earl Jikang and Lord Zichuan."

Li Longji said: "Today, Jikangbo and Zichuan County Lord will stay in the palace and have dinner with us. If there is anything, you can tell us later."

Li Ying was very happy, and then he stole a glance at Li Ke'er standing beside him, bowed to Li Longji and thanked him, "Thank you, father!

"Go down and wait. Once Ji Kangbo's matter is settled, I will ask him to come find you." Li Longji waved his hand, signaling the two siblings to leave.

"Son, please leave."

Li Ying and Li Ke'er both left. When they left, Li Longji seemed to feel that Li Ying's figure seemed a little...excited? He smiled and shook his head, sighed, and said:

"Mr. Ji Kangbo, why don't you go to the kitchen and make arrangements now?"

"Yes." Chang An looked at Li Longji's anxious look and smiled secretly in his heart.

Immediately, Li Longji called Eunuch Cheng and ordered, "Take Ji Kangbo and Zichuan County Lord to the kitchen. All arrangements today will be subject to Ji Kangbo's orders!"

"Yes, Your Majesty."

Eunuch Cheng agreed, and then brought Chang An and Gu Li to the kitchen.

Chang An looked at the entire kitchen, which was several times larger than his own home. There were at least a dozen servants working inside, and the table was filled with all kinds of vegetables and meat.

Gu Li pulled Chang An's clothes and whispered in his ear, "Chang Lang, the kitchen in the palace is so big."

Chang An smiled and rubbed her head, saying, "After all, it's a modern kitchen, so of course it has to be big."

Then Chang An brought Eunuch Cheng to the table and looked at the various ingredients on the table. Suddenly, Gu Li said, "Chang Lang, is there something missing..."

Chang An was stunned for a moment, then turned her head to look at Gu Li. Her eyes were shining and the corners of her mouth were slightly raised.

"What's missing?" Chang An asked puzzledly.

Gu Li said: "Pot, Chang Lang forgot the pot for hot pot, only our family has it."

Chang An suddenly realized what was going on, and then he looked at Eunuch Cheng behind him and said, "Eunuch Cheng, hot pot is a dish that requires the pot in our home. Could you please take the trouble to make a trip?"

Eunuch Cheng nodded slightly and said, "Please allow me to report to His Majesty. Only if His Majesty agrees, can I help you, Earl Ji Kang."

Chang An nodded and said, "Then I'll trouble you, Eunuch Cheng."

After Eunuch Cheng left, Chang An began to count the dishes on the table, and then ordered the cooks in the palace to prepare them.

Chang An was instructing the cooks on how to prepare the dumpling stuffing and make the dumplings. At this time, Li Ying also quietly came over and called out in a low voice: "Chang Yonghe, Chang Yonghe!"

Chang An turned around and found Li Ying sneaking around the door. When he saw that he was looking at him, he waved at him, wanting him to come over, as if he had something to say.

Seeing Li Ying like this, it seemed that there was something urgent, so Chang An said to Gu Li: "Mother Gu, please help me direct it first. His Highness wants to talk to me about something."

"Okay." Gu Li nodded.

Then Chang An walked outside the kitchen. As soon as he stepped out of the door, Li Ying pulled him to a corner. Chang An asked with some amusement: "What's wrong with your Highness? Is there something urgent you want to tell me?"

"Oh, no." Li Ying said, and looked in the direction he came from, then asked: "I just have something urgent to tell you."

Me? Why don't you call yourself "this palace"? This made Chang An a little confused.

"Please speak, Your Highness." Chang An nodded.

"Are we friends now?" Li Ying asked first. "It's just that this matter may not be appropriate to describe it as the relationship between the monarch and his subjects. It is somewhat against the imperial order, so I want to change my identity and talk about it."

Chang An nodded and said, "Of course it is. Your Highness treats me so well, if we are not friends, what is the intention?"

"That's fine, that's fine." Li Ying nodded, and continued as if he had no psychological burden, "Some time ago, my father suddenly told me that Prime Minister Song was going to be dismissed."

Chang An raised his eyebrows - Song Jing was dismissed from his position as prime minister, this was an inevitable event in history. No matter how much he helped, Song Jing would definitely be dismissed because of such a thing. Governing the evil money and suppressing the evil officials would definitely attract a lot of people's support. Being dismissed from his position as prime minister was naturally a protective measure taken by Emperor Minghuang of Tang.

"What's wrong?" Chang An asked.

Seeing Chang An's "taken for granted" look, Li Ying couldn't help but get anxious for him and said, "Aren't you anxious? Your husband is going to be dismissed from his post, which will have an impact on you."

"I won't say anything else, but have you ever thought that some people who are dissatisfied with Prime Minister Song will eventually vent their anger on you?"

"I know all this too. The master has told me before," said Chang An.

"I've told you, but you're not worried? My father is planning to bring you into the clan!" Li Ying said anxiously.

"Clan relative!" Chang An, who had been quite calm at first, became a little uneasy when he heard it.

Your Majesty, aren't you giving me too much face?

What does it mean to become a royal relative? At the very least, you are a relative of the favorite concubine in the palace, or a relative of the previous emperor. At the very least, you can go and destroy the enemy country alone and become a prince.

But it is obvious that Chang An does not meet the requirements no matter which one. The remaining way to become a relative is to marry a princess and become a prince consort!

"No!" Chang An said with a frown. This contrast seemed a bit weird in Li Ying's eyes, which made Li Ying feel a little amused and helpless.

"Chang Yonghe, you weren't in a hurry when your husband was dismissed from his post, so why do you react so strongly to someone becoming a clan member?" Li Ying asked.

"Your Majesty, you still plan for this, right?" Chang An asked tentatively.

Li Ying nodded and replied, "Indeed."

"Then can your highness help me? I can handle the affairs after the master was dismissed by himself, but can you exempt me from this matter of the clan members?" Chang An said, "The master has also instructed me about the affairs after he was dismissed. If I am more cautious, there will be no problem."

Li Ying looked at Chang An, then at Gu Li who was arranging dumplings in the kitchen, and seemed to understand something. Then he said, "Are you really not worried?"

"I'm sure." Chang An said.

"Then I understand. Since you are sure, I won't worry so much. If you need any help at that time, please be sure to come to me." Li Ying said.

"I will try to help you with the matter of the clan, how about that? To use the words of your people, it is: I am a loyal friend, right?"

After saying that, Li Ying smiled at him.

"Enough." Chang An nodded.

Li Ying once again looked in the direction she came from and said, "If there's nothing else, I'll leave first. We can't let others find out that something is wrong."

"Your Highness, walk slowly."

Chang An stood there and watched Li Ying leave stealthily.
