Just as Mu Nanzhi's mind was in turmoil, she heard a solemn, instructive voice in her ears, leaving no room for doubt or argument.
"Your Highness, please focus on your writing. What are you thinking about?"
Chapter 320 Luo Yuheng: You shameless little hussy!
Mu Nanzhi knew in her heart that Li Chang'an was teaching her calligraphy in such a way that the two of them were getting a little too close.
However, she actually thoroughly enjoyed the process.
For so many years, her situation was almost like being under house arrest. Being able to sneak out already made her very excited, let alone being alone with the talented man she admired.
She could feel her heart pounding; this sweet feeling was irresistible.
"Anyway, no one will know. This is just this once, and I will never do it again."
"It's just a few words, it won't take long, it shouldn't be a problem."
Mu Nanzhi quickly convinced herself, and then she and Li Chang'an wrote for more than an hour.
She wrote a lot of words, including Li Chang'an's poems and several long articles, immersing herself in the masculine atmosphere and losing track of time while writing.
"Your Highness, are you feeling much better now?"
Li Chang'an chuckled softly, then released Mu Nanzhi's hand.
Mu Nanzhi's face was flushed, and she kept her head down, not daring to let anyone see her. As Li Chang'an left behind her, a strange sense of loss made her feel almost lost.
Looking at my own handwriting again, I can see that I have made great progress. Compared to the mechanical copying before, my handwriting is now more elegant and lively.
"Yes... much better, thank you for your guidance, Mr. Li."
"Mr. Li, I have to go... I... I..."
She wanted to ask Li Chang'an to keep their affair a secret, but she felt that saying it aloud was too ambiguous.
There was nothing wrong between the two, but he was a married man, even though the marriage was only in name.
Not only was she a virgin, but neither Emperor Yuanjing nor the Prince of Zhenbei had ever touched her.
If this were said aloud, it would seem like a lack of trust in Li Chang'an; it's better to leave this as an unspoken understanding between the two.
Li Chang'an simply smiled and said, "I look forward to the Princess's next visit."
Mu Nanzhi raised her head, but covered her flushed face with her long sleeves, and said hesitantly, "It's probably not appropriate to do it again."
Li Chang'an chuckled inwardly, as if to say that his visit this time was quite appropriate.
Love between men and women is a natural human emotion. Mu Nanzhi has the title of princess but not the reality, which is inherently against human nature.
The fact that she dared to change her appearance to find Li Chang'an was simply a release of her normal nature that had been suppressed for too long.
Just like someone who has been dieting for too long can't resist a big meal with willpower alone.
Mu Nanzhi covered her flushed cheeks, then put on a Bodhi seed bracelet, reverting to her middle-aged appearance, and left Li Chang'an's residence in a flustered state.
On the carriage back to the Prince's mansion, Mu Nanzhi's heart was pounding, filled with a mix of intense pleasure and a touch of guilt.
Disturbed, Mu Nanzhi returned to the palace. Having regained her stunning beauty, she sat in front of the mirror, once again filled with anxiety and uncertainty.
“I am the Princess Consort of Zhenbei. It is not only against the rules for me to go to Li Chang’an so willfully, but it will also cause him trouble.”
"This is not good, it's really not good! Mu Nanzhi, why are you still so willful?"
"From today onwards, I will recite the Buddha's name for three days to calm my mind. I must never do such a reckless thing again."
"Sigh... Since that's the decision, then I'll never see Mr. Li again..."
Thinking of this, the princess recalled the scene of Li Chang'an teaching her to write, and the overwhelming sense of security she felt standing behind her was unforgettable.
Then, she rested her chin on her hands and fell into deep thought, the corners of her mouth occasionally turning up. Her stunningly beautiful face was captivating and her beauty beyond compare.
"You shameless hussy!" A sharp shout came from behind, startling Mu Nanzhi so much that her face paled.
Upon seeing the graceful and beautiful Taoist nun standing behind her, Mu Nanzhi patted her chest with a sigh of relief, suppressing her anger as she said, "You silly Taoist nun, you scared me to death!"
Luo Yuheng sat next to Mu Nanzhi and said with a half-smile, "The dignified Princess Consort of Zhenbei actually meets with other men in secret. You have quite the nerve."
The two were close friends, and Mu Nanzhi didn't put on airs. She frowned slightly and sighed, "It's not that serious. I just went to ask for advice on calligraphy and painting. It's not what you think."
Luo Yuheng scoffed, "This time they taught me to write by hand, but what about next time? Will they teach me to hold them in their arms, and then teach me to write in bed?"
"You damned Daoist nun, what are you saying!" Mu Nanzhi blushed and slapped Luo Yuheng's plump buttocks, causing them to ripple. "Is your mind filled with nothing but thoughts of male-female dual cultivation?"
"I really couldn't resist this time. I will never go there again. I've been locked up for so many years, so I'll just be willful this once."
Luo Yuheng pinched Mu Nanzhi's chest and sneered, "Be careful. Li Chang'an has ambiguous relationships with both princesses. Don't get involved."
Mu Nanzhi's heart tightened, and her small fists clenched involuntarily. She then pretended to be calm and said, "You underestimate me too much. With the beauty of the number one woman in Da Feng, you should be worried that Li Chang'an will fall into it and be unable to extricate himself."
Luo Yuheng smiled, a rare occurrence. "My beautiful princess, don't think I don't know what you're thinking. You're thinking that if you act recklessly this time, Li Chang'an will remember you and come looking for you on his own in the future."
"That's not true!" Mu Nanzhi immediately denied, showing strong resistance to Luo Yuheng directly exposing her subconscious thoughts.
It was certainly inappropriate for her to seek out Li Chang'an again, but Li Chang'an possessed extraordinary abilities, making it easy for him to come looking for her. If it were Li Chang'an who came to her, then it wouldn't be a matter of her being willful and ignorant.
“I am not like Lord Dao, whose methods are so clever. You keep His Majesty the Emperor hanging on to you all day long, playing hard to get and letting him go.”
Luo Yuheng was so angry he laughed, because this was the opinion of many people, even the opinion of the whole world.
What outsiders don't know is that Emperor Yuanjing was truly incompetent and lacked the luck to relieve her of the karmic fire.
Having cultivated to the second rank, Luo Yuheng no longer cared about romantic relationships. What she needed was a man to help her overcome her tribulation. Who that man was didn't matter, but he had to be at the peak of his fortune.
It seems that Li Chang'an has the strongest luck, so she often spyes on Li Chang'an's life, including his cultivation, his secret meetings with the princesses, and his teachings to Xu Lingyue.
Originally, she only wanted to keep an eye on Li Chang'an's actions, but later she found that spying seemed to be addictive, and she felt that her life was incomplete if she didn't check on him for a few days.
Then when she went there today, she was surprised to see Mu Nanzhi in Li Chang'an's study. She wondered how the two of them had gotten together.
"Your Highness, I'm really warning you, don't fall for him, or it will cause trouble for Li Chang'an."
Luo Yuheng's figure suddenly disappeared, leaving only a serious reminder.
Mu Nanzhi's expression changed, and then she said to herself in disappointment, "Do you need to tell me? I know very well that I'm not interested at all. I just admire Mr. Li's talent."
However, her disappointment didn't last long. When she saw her reflection in the mirror again, she couldn't help but drift off into daydreams once more.
“Mr. Li is exceptionally handsome; I would be a perfect match for him standing next to him…”
Luo Yuheng, who was perched on the rooftop, couldn't help but shake his head. This Mu Nanzhi really has the mentality of a child.
She was just swearing that she would never see Li Chang'an again, but then she turned around and fell into memories and fantasies. This girlish heart can't be changed!
Li Chang'an was unaware of Mu Nanzhi's insatiable fantasies and conflicted feelings. After nightfall, Li Chang'an sneaked directly into Huaiqing Palace.
Huaiqing had just finished getting acquainted with the area and changed into a silky, soft blue bathrobe. Her two large breasts bounced up and down on her chest, making her look exceptionally alluring.
When she reached the bedside, she found Li Chang'an lying on her bed, which shocked her so much that she turned pale.
She had a feeling that she had been caught having an affair, and it was really strange that a man would appear in her bedroom at night.
"Li Lang... what are you doing here?"
Subsequently, Huaiqing realized that this was nonsense, as Li Chang'an could freely go to Huaiqing Palace and Lin'an Palace in the imperial city.
"It seems Huaiqing isn't very welcoming of my arrival."
Li Chang'an frowned, and Huaiqing's panic subsided somewhat. He then slowly sat down on the edge of the bed, leaning against Li Chang'an.
Huaiqing pulled Li Chang'an's arm, the two pressed tightly together, "No... it's not that, it's just that it's too absurd."
The former Huaiqing was so reserved, but now that he has decided to take the initiative, he is still a little hesitant.
“There are even more absurd things.”
If she weren't afraid of being overheard outside, Huaiqing would have cried out, because Li Chang'an gently lifted his hand and pulled her into the bed, and the two of them embraced each other on the bed.
Previously it was in Li Chang'an's study, but now it's on Huaiqing's bed. Li Chang'an is gradually pushing his luck, and it's only a matter of time before Huaiqing is taken over.
However, Huaiqing had been in a high position for a long time, so his mental defenses were quite tight.
"Lord Li is so busy with state affairs, what brings you to me?" Huaiqing's bright eyes held a hidden meaning in her words.
Li Chang'an pretended not to hear it; there would be plenty of ways to deal with this petty temper later.
"Someone from the Heaven and Earth Society has spoken again. I just thought it would be too boring to watch alone, so I thought I'd watch with you."
Huaiqing smiled slightly, crawled out of Li Chang'an's lecherous hands, and took the small mirror into his own hands.
[Number Three: Number Two, is there a mastermind behind the banditry in Yunzhou?]
[Number Two: Yes, during the bandit suppression, I discovered that the various villages had stockpiled a considerable amount of supplies. These things were definitely not something the bandits could easily obtain. I suspect there is a powerful force supporting them.]
The term "logistics" generally refers to military supplies, including equipment and machinery.
[Number 4: Are they local princes and officials from Yunzhou?]
Upon seeing this, Huaiqing said quietly, "The Prince of Yunzhou has no real power, and the night watchmen have been monitoring him all along. He has neither ability nor ambition."
It's clear that Huaiqing is very confident.
[Second: Your Highness is a lazy and irresponsible prince, indifferent to both military and political affairs. I have been sending people to monitor the Prince's residence.]
[Number Three: I know the mastermind behind the banditry in Yunzhou. It should be the Witch God Cult. The Witch God Cult is the driving force behind the banditry in Yunzhou. The night watchman discovered the Witch God Cult's stronghold in the capital, and the Witch God Cult also has close ties with the Minister of Works.]
At this moment, Xu Qi'an was sitting on the bed in the post station, having already embarked on his journey to Yunzhou.
