After returning from the navy, Li Xiang saw that his family had started to pack up their things. They had lived in this big house for two months without realizing it. After Li Xiang left, this place would become the official residence of General Ding Kui.
According to Tang Dynasty rules, this place should be sealed up for Li Xiang, but Li Xiang knew that Ding Kui had no place to live in Fusang, and he didn't know when he would return in the future. Wouldn't such a large house be a waste? So he simply gave it to Ding Kui.
Ding Kui didn't dare to accept it at first. After all, this was where His Highness had lived. According to some rules within the Tang Dynasty, if you lived here, you would certainly be able to get some royal aura, but when you were on the decline in the future, someone might bring this up and you would be punished.
But this matter was announced by Li Xiang himself, and in front of many generals. Even if someone wanted to make a fuss about this matter in the future, they probably wouldn't be able to do it. What's more, Ding Kui would be in office here for a long time and had to bring his family here. This big house was just right.
"Yongning..."
When Li Xiang entered the room, he saw Princess Yongning sitting on the swing next to him, staring blankly ahead. If it were in the past, Princess Yongning would have run over to catch butterflies.
When Princess Yongning raised her head, Li Xiang felt a little guilty. Then he remembered what had happened. It must be about her sister.
Although Princess Yongning has no scheming and is as innocent as a child, the people who serve her are different. As long as there is power, there is a possibility of palace fighting.
"Your Highness is back. I'll go get you some tea."
When Yongning said this, it seemed a bit out of place. You know, when the two of them were together before, they didn't speak so distantly.
"If you have something to say, just say it. I was wrong about what happened that day. If you don't like it, I can send your sister away."
Li Xiang did not ask Yongning to pour tea. Instead, he sat on the swing next to him and held Yongning in his arms. Except for the last step, the two of them often had contact with each other.
"That's not what I meant. I just think it's very strange. Besides, I don't recognize my sister anymore. How could she do this?"
Yongning lay on Li Xiang's shoulder and cried like a child. Although Yongning acted rather naive, she was very knowledgeable about matters between men and women. In the palace, it was common for two sisters to marry the same person, but that did not mean that she had to live such a life as well.
During his time in Fuso, Yongning had lived a very comfortable life, and Li Xiang protected him very well. But now he was about to go back, and Yongning had a heavy heart. He didn't expect the servants to report that his sister had gone to Li Xiang.
Yongning was not jealous at first, after all, she was her sister, and such things often happened in the Nanzhao royal family. But for some reason, when she was alone, she still felt uncomfortable in her heart.
"You'll understand slowly as you grow up. I'll make it clear to your sister that as long as you don't want to come over, she'll stay in Fuso for a while."
Li Xiang also wanted to keep his distance from that scheming woman. If he brought such a person back to Chang'an, there would inevitably be a lot of gossip about her, and the most important thing would be unrest in his family.
"Your Highness, please don't... Let's take her back to Chang'an together. If she stays in Fusang, I won't even have any friends and will be bullied here."
Yongning is still so kind. Although she can't stand her sister, she is very scared when she hears that Li Xiang wants to leave her sister in Fusang. She hopes that Li Xiang can take her sister back with him.
"If that's the case, then let your sister return to Chang'an first. I'm going to take a navy warship to the south. You should come with me. If we're lucky, we can go from the south to Nanzhao and visit your hometown."
This was something Li Xiang had agreed to a long time ago. After all, it was hard to leave one's hometown. Although Yongning had married and moved to Chang'an, she still wanted to visit her hometown.
Princess Yongning smiled again, but suddenly she thought of the arrangement for her sister, and was afraid that her sister would not be able to return to Nanzhao.
If Princess Yongping had not gone to Li Xiang's room, she could have gone back with him, but she couldn't go back in the current situation.
There are so many people on the road and someone will definitely leak the news. If that happens, although Duan Hai is dead, his Duan family will still be there. If someone is looking for trouble, Li Xiang doesn't want to create trouble.
Li Xiang's journey was very tight this time because Cheng Luan was about to give birth, and this would be Li Xiang's first child in this world, so Li Xiang was going back to Chang'an to wait, so he had to speed up this trip.
Although Yongning also wanted to plead for his sister, he did not say this, because when Yongning saw his sister at this moment, he had an indescribable feeling in his heart, so he decided to let his sister return to Chang'an first and let her slowly adapt later.
Princess Yongping also soon learned about her itinerary. She would board a navy warship in three days, then drop off a group of people in Goguryeo, and finally return to Dengzhou Port, and then take a carriage back to Chang'an.
When the young eunuch reported the itinerary, Princess Yongping didn't need to inquire in person. If they were traveling with Li Xiang, how could there be cargo on the boat? You have to know that Li Xiang has a special large ship, and only other people's ships would carry a batch of cargo along the way.
Although Princess Yongping and Li Xiang were actually married, this status was really embarrassing. What's more, Li Xiang had so many women in Chang'an City. When he returned this time, who knew how many struggles he would have to face.
According to Princess Yongping's idea, her sister should put aside past grudges and unite with her so that she can achieve a higher status.
But Yongning couldn't accept it. Li Xiang doted on Yongning in every way, so Princess Yongping had to give up the idea and pack up her things honestly. However, this time she also gained something, which was much better than before. Things start step by step, and you can't become fat in one bite.
