"My Lords, rise..."
Li Xiang was not able to use the two words "pingshen" yet, so he just used the word "qi".
After these people stood up, the Prince of Zhennan gave everyone a look and asked several of his men to take these people out. There was no need for so many people to stay here. What he wanted was some alone time with Li Xiang, not so many people staying here.
Li Xiang looked at the sun outside. It would take at most one stick of incense for the auspicious time for Li Xiang and the princess to arrive, so there was no need to hide now. Moreover, if he hid now, it would seem like he was afraid of him.
"Your Highness, I have worked so hard today. I brought some tea from Chang'an City. It is different from the teas we have now, and the taste of it is very good. Serve the tea."
Li Xiang spoke slowly, and Qian Ping immediately ordered the eunuch next to him to serve tea, but the Prince of Zhennan was not interested. Although the Prince of Zhennan also liked to drink tea, the opportunity to meet Li Xiang alone today was too difficult. Li Xiang had been here for several days, and only after careful calculation did he seize such an opportunity.
"Your Highness, may I have a moment with you?"
Prince Zhennan looked at the entourage around him. There were quite a lot of people in the room, seven or eight in total. Most of them were brought by Li Xiang from Chang'an City, and the remaining two were brought by him. If he wanted to discuss something with Li Xiang, these people obviously couldn't be here. No matter how tight-lipped these people were, Duan Hai's family affairs had been leaked.
"Today is a beautiful day, it doesn't seem appropriate to discuss other matters. If Your Highness has something to say, why don't we..."
"I do have some urgent matters, and they are extremely urgent. I hope Your Highness will agree to my request."
Prince Zhennan did not let Li Xiang continue speaking, but instead stood up and bowed.
Li Xiang could see that if the door had not been open, the Prince of Zhennan would have knelt down before him. Now this had already reached his limit, and it seemed that the Prince of Zhennan had been stretched to the limit.
"What is your Highness doing? It's just to discuss something, but the auspicious time is approaching, and I'm afraid..."
What Li Xiang said was equivalent to giving him a chance, but there must be a restriction added, that is, when the auspicious time comes, you must leave here. No matter what other things you have, you cannot delay our good things.
"Please rest assured, Your Highness, we will not delay the auspicious time."
Hope appeared in the eyes of Prince Zhennan. This was what he had always needed. Li Xiang saw that there was no chance and was about to ask everyone present to leave, but Duan Hai and Princess Yongping came in.
"Congratulations to His Highness. Uncle Wang is here too."
Duan Hai's loud voice sounded from behind. Li Xiang had never thought about this guy, but Duan Hai's appearance here at this moment did ease Li Xiang's crisis. If the King of Zhennan forced Li Xiang to answer, Li Xiang really didn't know how to answer.
This time, the main thing is to watch and listen more, and not to decide anything. Even if a plan has been made, it has not been implemented yet. It is best to drag it out, and it will also be the beginning of civil strife among these people. As long as I don't express my position and maintain a neutral attitude, both groups will be like ants on a hot pan, but the King of Nanzhao has the advantage.
When hearing this voice, the expression on Prince Zhennan's face changed several times, but when this guy turned around, the smile appeared on his face again. The appearance of Duan Hai and Princess Yongping here could not be a coincidence. Prince Zhennan had already called most of the royal family members just now. Duan Hai and Princess Yongping could not have failed to see it. They appeared here on purpose, deliberately ruining my good deeds.
"So it's you two. I asked everyone to come and pay their respects a little while ago. I wonder where you two were going and why you only came out now."
Prince Zhennan also wanted to find an opportunity to get the couple away, but he couldn't think of a way after thinking for a long time. If you can congratulate them here, they can also congratulate them here, and their relationship seems to be closer than yours. At least Duan Hai and Li Xiang drank privately, but you and Li Xiang have no private contact.
In addition, everyone in the royal city knows that Duan Hai’s eldest son will follow Li Xiang and He Chang’an, and will also live in the East Palace. Li Xiang will raise this child. Is this an ordinary relationship?
"Just now, my husband and I ran into an old man, so we talked for a while over there. Now we have to come over to pay our respects. We can't miss this important event."
Duan Hai spoke in an organized manner. Prince Zhennan and Li Xiang did not believe that this guy thought of it on his own. It must have been given to him by Princess Yongping. Of course, what Duan Hai said was also true. The Duan family is different now. Because of the news that was released, some old relationships that were not in contact before have come out.
"I've almost finished talking about things with His Highness, so I'll leave first. There are still many people outside who want to drink with me, so you guys chat."
Prince Zhennan knew the current situation and knew that Princess Yongping must have come prepared. If not for this, he might have been able to hold on for a while, but Princess Yongping was a thoughtful person. Since she had already come in, as long as he did not leave the hall, Princess Yongping would not leave either.
"Send the prince off for me and tell the people outside to eat and drink well. The Great Tang Dynasty wine is available today."
Li Xiang asked Qian Ping to send the Prince of Zhennan away, because he wanted Qian Ping to see what this guy wanted to do. This guy would definitely tell Qian Ping what he was thinking.
Sure enough, after hearing this, a look of joy appeared on the face of the Prince of Zhennan. Qian Ping was the first person Li Xiang could use. It was the same as telling Qian Ping anything. Moreover, this time Li Xiang ordered Qian Ping to come out, probably because he wanted to see what he was thinking.
"Butler, please save me. I have no way out now. I'm afraid they will attack me after the wedding."
Qian Ping deliberately found a quiet place, but who knew that before the two of them sat down, the Prince of Zhennan could no longer sit still. This guy obviously controlled most of the Nanzhao army, but now he acted like he was being bullied. If Qian Ping had not investigated clearly, he might have really been cheated by this guy.
