Princess Yongping had long known that Li Xiang was a man of courage, but she did not expect that Li Xiang would be so courageous. Take the current events as an example. Isn’t Li Xiang afraid of inciting a civil uprising?
Since Princess Yongping came, the three of them basically ate together. This was mainly because Yongning was too attached to her sister, so she would call her sister over whenever she ate. Princess Yongping had no intention of avoiding suspicion, so there was one more person at the dinner table.
If Princess Yongning was a scheming person, she would immediately feel that something was wrong with her sister, even if she was her own sister. The love of the royal family is extremely stingy. If there is one more person to share it, there will be less for herself.
Unfortunately, Princess Yongning didn't care about this at all. It had been several days, and she was still immersed in the life of reuniting with her sister. Even Li Xiang noticed that something was wrong.
For example, when he came back just now, Princess Yongping showed a little more enthusiasm. She was his aunt, but she couldn't replace the work of a daughter-in-law. She actually helped Li Xiang undress.
Yongning's brain was indeed a little slow. If it were someone else, they would have noticed that something was wrong long ago. Fortunately, Li Xiang just gave a look, and a senior palace maid who had served for a long time took over the situation. If Yongping had continued to do this, it would have been a bit bad.
"Your Highness, there's so much chaos and disorder outside. Will there be a civil uprising?"
Princess Yongping raised this question during the meal. Although they all lived within a high-walled compound and were not affected by outside affairs, they could clearly hear the shouting and killing outside all day long, and there was black smoke drifting in the distance. It was obvious that things were not peaceful outside.
"They've already risen up. This time we're targeting the old forces in Fusang. They have their own sphere of interest in this land, but I don't have the time to wait for them to slowly change."
Li Xiang said while eating that after a few days here, Yongping had basically gotten used to the couple's way of speaking. Li Xiang himself was a person from modern society, and Yongning served him well, so he didn't mind some of Yongping's excessive behavior.
Yongping suddenly remembered some situations in Nanzhao Kingdom. At this time, Yongping realized that no matter what happened in Fusang, she would naturally connect it to the situation in Nanzhao.
"Is it to bring back more stuff?"
Yongning suddenly said this, and Li Xiang burst into laughter. This girl's brain is very naive, but she also has a very accurate view of the problem. The fundamental reason is to transport more things back and let this place quickly replenish the blood of the entire Tang Dynasty.
"Our Yongning is such a smart girl. You're right. We've launched this war, and we've paid for the navy before. We have to get it back now. We can't pay for any war. And every penny we spend has to be paid for."
When Li Xiang said this, Princess Yongning nodded vigorously beside him, without thinking about her own family at all.
But Princess Yongping was different. As a meticulous person, she quickly realized that many treasures of Nanzhao were also transported to Chang'an. At that time, there was a convoy more than ten miles long, escorted by thousands of soldiers.
No wonder the Tang Dynasty is becoming more and more prosperous, while the surrounding countries are becoming poorer and poorer, and even becoming production bases for certain items. This was all planned by Li Xiang in advance. Now we are in an agricultural society, and food is the most important thing.
Originally, Yongping had some other ideas to ease the relationship between himself and Li Xiang, or even to bring them closer together. However, after learning about this incident, Yongping was no longer in the mood. After dinner, he returned to his room, looking in the direction of Nanzhao, not knowing what he was thinking.
When Yongping left in a hurry, Li Xiang remembered why. To put it bluntly, these two were also princesses of a fallen country.
It's just that Yongning is well taken care of by me, so he doesn't think about those things at all. Yongping is already an adult, and his brain works faster than ordinary people, so it's normal for him to express his feelings at this moment.
The next morning, Li Xiang did not leave early as usual, but took the two sisters to see something. Princess Yongping did not understand what Li Xiang was going to take her to see, but she was indeed in a bad mood that night and slowly fell asleep when it was almost dawn.
Li Xiang brought the two sisters to the dock, where three large ships were docked. These large ships would never come to the capital before. This was also stipulated by the laws of Fusang. Any kind of goods had to be dropped off in other cities and then transported overland.
"The Nanzhao people..."
Yongning hadn't figured out what was going on, but Princess Yongping had already figured it out. Although these people were wearing Tang Dynasty clothes, the pendants around their necks showed that they were from Nanzhao.
"Big sister is right. These people are from Nanzhao. But now they have a new name. People from the Tang Dynasty will no longer be called Nanzhao."
No wonder Li Xiang asked the two of them to come here early in the morning. He also had a deeper meaning. Yongning nodded beside him, not quite understanding what he meant, with a smile on his face. After all, it was a happy thing to be able to see people from Nanzhao in a foreign country.
Yongping’s mentality is different. He is thinking about something else. This may mean the fundamental destruction of a country.
"Princess... look, it's our princess..."
As soon as these people got off the boat, they spotted the two sisters. Some of them were from the Nanzhao royal city and could see the two princesses during ordinary festivals, so they all came over to kowtow.
The guards next to him wanted to stop him, but Li Xiang raised his hand and they retreated to the side. However, he still held the crossbow in his hand and stared at these people with a fierce look.
Although these people have been reformed and have been in Chang'an City for a long time, for the safety of His Royal Highness the Crown Prince, we must keep a close eye on them. No matter what they are here for or what special skills they have, as long as these people have some abnormal behavior, we must take them down immediately.
Seeing people from their hometown, the two princesses happily chatted with their family members. Princess Yongping also wanted to know what these people were doing here...
