Chapter 280 Bian Bian: Li Changan is so brave!
"What about me, how am I?"

After hearing what Li Changan said about the princess, Chu Caiwei patted her chest and asked anxiously.

Li Changan stared at the little girl's big round eyes and said, "She is open-minded and very cute."

Chu Caiwei blushed slightly, obviously very satisfied with this answer.

Huaiqing stood up and said with a smile, "Caiwei, it's time to go."

The inscription at Yunlu Academy caused a great chaos in the court, but all the disturbances were suppressed by Huaiqing and Wei Yuan.

But this would make it more difficult for Yunlu Academy to become officials, because Emperor Yuan Jingdi would trust them even less.

In the days that followed, Li Changan would occasionally go to the Six Gates or the Night Watchmen's Office, and Huaiqing would come over every now and then to ask for advice.

Three months passed like this, and suddenly an unexpected guest came to the house.

A maid from the palace found Li Changan and conveyed Princess Lin'an's words, hoping that Mr. Li would come to the palace to meet her.

"Princess Lin'an? What does Your Highness want to see me for?"

The maid was very polite, "His Highness said he wanted to learn from you."

Li Changan frowned. Huaiqing loved reading and had great ambitions, but Lin'an seemed to only like playing.

Moreover, Li Changan and Linan were not familiar with each other at all and had only met once.

However, Princess Lin'an had a habit of competing with Huaiqing. She would compete for anything Huaiqing liked to do.

Could it be that Bianbian heard that Huaiqing always came to Li Changan to ask for advice, so she wanted to follow suit?

Apart from this reason, Li Changan couldn't think of any other reason.

"No time."

Upon hearing Li Changan's answer, the palace maid's eyes widened with an expression of disbelief.

Not all men could enter the palace at will. Apart from royal relatives, only night watchmen had this privilege, and Li Changan happened to be the Golden Luo Night Watchman.

It was such a great grace that Her Royal Highness the Princess summoned him, but Li Changan actually said he was busy. He actually dared to say he was busy!

"Mr. Li, then...when is convenient for you?"

Li Changan smiled and said, "Just reply to Her Royal Highness the Princess that you are busy, and there is no need to explain the rest."

The palace maid looked a little embarrassed and replied to the princess that she was busy. Li Changan was really bold.

Although Lin'an was a domineering man, the palace maids around him were sensible and not overbearing. They did not dare to say anything and returned to the palace obediently.

Since Xu Lingyue came to Li Changan, she has witnessed many big scenes. Even Princess Huaiqing has come several times.

However, she could never imagine that Li Changan would dare to refuse Princess Lin'an's invitation.

Princess, you are the daughter of a noble family, high above us, inviolable.

"Sir...what if Her Royal Highness the Princess gets angry?"

Li Changan said calmly, "Don't worry, the princess will protect me."

He dared to do this because he was not afraid of Lin'an at all. A scholar should have integrity and cannot be summoned and dismissed at will.

Since you said you wanted advice but didn't come to visit in person to see how Huaiqing did it, Bian Bian still needs some proper training.

In the palace, Chang An took out a lot of books in a pretentious manner and looked at Li Chang An's Thirty-six Articles on Military Affairs with a frown.

Li Changan's guess was almost right, because Huaiqing, who was so arrogant, actually came to Li Changan's door again and again, which surprised Lin'an very much.

That was the cold Huaiqing, that was her fierce and ferocious sister!
After Lin'an found out the truth, he became curious about what was so special about Li Chang'an.

But after she got Li Changan's masterpiece, she couldn't understand it at all. Then she suddenly realized that Huaiqing must not understand it, so she went to ask for help.

So, she habitually asked the palace maid to pass the message and invite Li Changan to come over.

But to her surprise, the palace maid came back alone, trembling with fear.

"Where is Li Changan?"

The maid replied cautiously, "Your Highness, Mr. Li said... he is not available."

Princess Lin'an's peach blossom eyes suddenly widened, and she suspected that she had heard it wrongly, "What?"

"Your Highness, Mr. Li asked me to reply with two words. I am busy."

The palace maid repeated it again, and Princess Lin'an's two small hands unconsciously pinched her slender waist, and her eyebrows raised.

"No time! I am free, but he is not! He is so arrogant!"

The maid said timidly, "He is indeed very courageous. Last time, all the officials in the court were impeaching him, but he did not refute anything. It seems that he is not afraid of anything."

Lin An pursed his lips for a few times and said angrily, "If he dares not to come, I, I, I, I..."

She suddenly realized that she couldn't do anything to Li Changan.

Because Li Changan was just a part-time night watchman, she would not complain to Emperor Yuan Jing about this matter.

What are you complaining about? You invited someone to the palace, but they didn't come. What crime is that?

Is it against etiquette and impolite?
"Humph, what a great scholar Li, what a great hero Li, you are so arrogant!"

The maid said, "That's right. With such a big air, no wonder the princess couldn't invite him and had to go there herself."

Neither the master nor the servant knew whether the princess had invited Li Changan into the palace.

But the palace maid knew that Princess Lin'an would be happy to hear this.

Sure enough, a smile flashed across Lin'an's lips. "Yes, yes, you are right. This guy must have let Huaiqing suffer a setback, so Huaiqing came to visit."

"But I heard that his status is higher than the four great scholars of Yunlu Academy. Even the great devil Wei Yuan calls him his brother. It's normal for him to be a little arrogant."

"Huaiqing is courteous to the wise and humble to the humble, and so will I. If Li Changan doesn't come, I will go to his house. He saved Pingyang's life, so it is only right for me to go to his house."

"Besides Huaiqing, the people who come in and out of Li Changan's mansion are also the great scholars from Yunlu Academy. Even if I go there, it won't be a loss of status!"

Princess Lin'an laughed and got angry at once, and in a blink of an eye she convinced herself.

"But you must never treat him well!"

Princess Lin'an made preparations for another two days, and then actually visited on the third day.

At Li Changan's door, Princess Lin'an got off the carriage and found that there was only a maid, Xu Lingyue, and a few servants at the door.

Well, now that I am here, I, the princess, am not reluctant to come to the door to greet you.

What kind of scholar is this? He doesn't even know any etiquette!
"Humph, Huaiqing is here, but Li Changan won't come out to greet him!"

Xu Lingyue was horrified. It was rumored that the ferocious Huaiqing was always smiling, but Princess Lin'an, the emperor's favorite and said to be very kind, was actually ferocious.

Xu Lingyue and several servants knelt at the door and said, "Your Highness, the eldest princess was brought in by Miss Caiwei, and you didn't have time to greet her."

"Hmph!" Princess Lin'an walked into Li Changan's gate with a cold face and dignified manner.

"Get up and lead the way!"

Xu Lingyue was terrified and took Princess Lin'an into Li Chang'an's study. "Princess Lin'an is here, please sit down."

Li Changan stood in front of the desk, seemingly drawing something, and his tone was so casual that Lin'an had the illusion that Li Changan was very familiar with her.

"Huh, Mr. Li is so arrogant."

Lin'an and the palace maids' expressions seemed to have been trained many times beforehand, maintaining an oddly consistent coldness.

But she still couldn't help but move her lotus steps forward to see what Li Changan was painting.

Seeing a lifelike parrot on the scroll, just like the real one, Princess Lin'an's expression instantly went out of control.

Because Li Changan's paintings were so good, better than any paintings she had seen in the palace.

"I didn't expect you to be good at painting."

Li Changan put down his pen and said, "I am good at much more than Your Highness thinks."

"Your Highness, you have come to visit me in person. What can I do for you?"

Lin'an moved her beautiful peach blossom eyes away from the flower roll and met Li Chang'an's eyes. She found that Li Chang'an was actually staring at her boldly!

How dare he look directly at the princess!
Li Changan thought to himself that the two sisters each had their own beauty, and even though Bian Bian was angry, she still looked a bit charming.

Lin'an refused to give in and just stared at Li Chang'an until he felt embarrassed.

"Of course, I came here to ask for advice."

Afterwards, Lin'an kept a stern face throughout the whole process and asked Li Chang'an many questions, but of course the depth of his questions was much less than Huaiqing's.

As expected, one has great ambitions while the other has great ambitions but no brains. Bia Bia is still a little superficial.

She was originally a lively and outgoing person, but she insisted on pretending to be deep in front of Li Changan, which seemed very strange.

In the end, this kind of consultation did not last for an hour, and Lin'an could not hold on any longer.

Because as soon as Li Changan opened his mouth, his words and deeds made her seem very ignorant, but she was unable to refute him.

Lin'an became more and more restless and couldn't help complaining in his heart that Huaiqing would chat for a long time every time he came, and no one knew what he was talking about.

"Ahem, Mr. Li is indeed a genius. I am glad to learn from you today."

Li Changan said, "I have a few more of my humble works. Since Your Highness is here, I will take them back and have a look. If there is anything you don't understand, please come over at any time. I will answer any questions I have."

Lin'an asked the palace maid to take a few thread-bound books from Xu Lingyue, and then left Li's Mansion with a triumphant look on his face.

In the carriage, Lin An's serious expression finally fell, "So, how did I perform today? I'm sure that Li Chang An will be impressed!"

The maid nodded her head in a rush, "Your Highness was so wise today that Mr. Li even gave you his new work!"

As she spoke, she held up the book in her hand. When Lin'an saw the words "lun" and "shu" on the cover, he suddenly felt a headache.

"I don't want to watch it anymore! I'm so tired! Take it back and watch it later."

The books that Li Changan gave were not found by Lin'an until half a month later.

Because she found out that Huaiqing had never taken any books out of Li Changan's mansion, which meant that she, Lin'an, also had some outstanding qualities!

She flipped through several books in succession and suddenly felt enlightened. They were easy to understand and it seemed that she understood a lot more about the affairs of the court.

"Li Changan is truly amazing. He explains things much more clearly than the teacher at the Imperial College."

What she didn't know was that Li Changan was merely writing down some basic knowledge according to the understanding level of a sixth grader.

However, when Huaiqing→Lin'an turned to the last book, his expression suddenly changed.

She stood up suddenly, her face turned extremely cold, "Li Changan is so brave!"

I saw the words "Cui Yingying Waiting for the Moon in the West Chamber" written on the cover of the book. As a female book fan who reads a lot of banned books, of course I can guess the content of the book.

In the past two hundred years, Dafeng has been promoting the idea of ​​preserving the laws of nature and eliminating human desires, and novels about elopement and secret reunion have become banned books.

Li Changan is blatantly giving the princess a banned book!
Lin An once again put his hands on his waist, his chest rising and falling, "Li Chang An, what exactly are you thinking?"

Her angry voice immediately attracted the palace maids, and Lin An hurriedly said, "You get out first!"

Then, her eyes fell on Romance of the West Chamber again. She had never read this book!

Does Dafeng have this book? They wouldn't just write a few words on the cover. If the content inside is also a banned book, then Li Changan, you're dead!

"Humph! Wait for me to take a good look. If you really send me a forbidden book, I will make you lose your head!"

Princess Lin'an angrily flipped through The West Chamber. The handwriting in the book was as fast and smooth as in the previous books.

But the content is indeed a vernacular novel.

"Okay, okay, this time I haven't wronged you. Your handwriting is so good, but you actually wrote a banned book. You are really hopeless and shameless..."

After reading a page, Lin'an would reprimand Li Chang'an in a low voice to show that he was reviewing critically rather than indulging in it.

"What do you mean by lovemaking? It's just uninvited love... Li Changan, you call yourself the fifth great scholar, but you are clearly a shameless villain who steals women..."

But gradually, Lin'an's voice became smaller and smaller, and in the end he had forgotten to stack armor.

Before she knew it, Princess Lin'an had sat down, resting her hand on her cheek, and began to read carefully.

"I've been thinking about you so much that I've forgotten to eat and sleep. My beauty has faded, and flowers have bloomed and withered... I'm left with a cold pillow and a lonely phoenix... Bah! How shameless!"

Lin'an chuckled from time to time, his face slightly red, and he was obviously into the role.

"Blue sky, yellow flowers on the ground, strong west wind. Northern geese fly south. Who is drunk in the frosty forest at dawn? It's always the tears of parting... Li Changan is quite talented, and the words are really well written..."

However, Lin'an soon discovered a problem: the book was not finished!

“To be continued!!!”

Princess Lin'an, who was completely immersed in the book, suddenly felt empty inside. "What happened to Li Chang'an? He only finished half of the book. What's wrong with him? What happened later?"

She flipped through the book several times again, and when she saw the words "To be continued", she suddenly felt as if her soul had been sucked away.

It took her a long time to realize that this was a book written by Li Changan, and he gave it to her on purpose!

"What does this mean! What does Li Changan want to do!"

Then, Lin An had a bold idea, "Is he teasing me?"

"Hmph! Li Changan, if I hand this book to my father, you won't have enough heads to chop off even if you have a hundred!"

However, when she glanced at the gracefully written characters, she suddenly changed her mind.

"No, that's not right. It could be that I accidentally put it with the other books. I'm not familiar with Li Changan, so he wouldn't dare to tease me even if he had a hundred guts! Do you think I can be teased casually?"

"Yes, yes, that must be the case!"

"But...but what happened afterwards? What happened after Cui Yingying and Zhang Sheng secretly got married?"

"It's been half a month. Li Changan should have finished writing the second half of the book..."
