Chapter 77

When he returned home, Aning calculated and went from Chang'an to Jinling and then back. As long as he didn't rush to travel like a rushing march, it would take nearly a month.

Even if Aning is not in the mansion for such a long time, it is unreasonable. She thought about it and then, but she really couldn't think of any excuses that could make Li Heng promise to leave here for a month. After thinking about it, it was impossible to make Li Heng promise to go out. So she thought about it and came up with another solution.

The autumnal equinox has passed, and the sun's face is getting shorter and shorter every day. As soon as the hour of You, the sky has already darkened. Aning hurriedly finished the meal, then drove away all the servants and lay on the bed pretending to be sleepy.

After she confirmed that everyone had left, she immediately jumped up from the bed. She pushed open the window beside the bed and jumped gently outside the window. Then, she used the light body technique and quietly walked along a small path and left her residence far away.

Along the way, she avoided everyone walking in the palace and came to a corner southwest of the Spring Palace. There was a small yard there. The buildings in the yard were nothing strange, but the surrounding area was a little special.

In theory, in the entire sequel to Li Heng's concubines and children, everyone is a real family. Therefore, each yard is open, with at most a few rows of sparse trees planted around to define the lower boundaries. However, this yard is densely planted with big trees two or three feet tall. Moreover, there is no paved road around. If you didn't know the specific location here, you would probably think that this is just a forest.

After drilling through the trees, Aning stood under the steps. Above the eight-story steps was a three-room house. The house was pitch black and there were no lights, and I don’t know if there were anyone inside.

But Aning obviously doubted this. She cleared her throat and said without hesitation: "Sister, I am Li Mengning, are you here?"

With a "bang", a spark of Mars lit up, and then turned into an orange light. The figure of a woman sitting against the wall was reflected through the window. The woman opened her lips lightly and said in a cold tone: "Why are you shouting so loud outside, aren't you afraid of being seen by others?"

Aning smiled and said, "No one will come here except me, right? When they hear the sound, they will only pretend that they don't hear it!"

The woman snorted, "What she said is reasonable. If you weren't different from others, I wouldn't bother talking to you. Come in, the door is not closed, it's still a little cold outside."

"Okay!" Aning rushed into the door like a child who had obtained candy. He turned left skillfully and entered the bedroom on the east side. He blew into the gauze tent like a whirlwind and sat on the bed.

The woman in the room was sitting with her back against the head of the bed. She was a little older than Aning, looking like she was seventeen or eighteen years old. Her head was hanging on her chest, almost covering half of her face, and the half of her face looked a little thin and pale.

Seeing Aning sitting opposite her, she reached out and patted her shoulder, saying hello, and then said straightforwardly: "Tell me, what's the good thing about looking for me so late?"

Aning sat up straight and said seriously: "Sister Mengyue, I plan to go to Jiangnan in five days. Can you pretend to be me during the time I went out? Anyway, my marriage to An Qingzong has been hyped, so there will be no trouble for pretending to be me."

"Impersonating you? How do I impersonate me?" Meng Yue sneered: "Although we are both Li Heng's daughters, we don't look very similar!"

Aning narrowed her eyes and looked at Mengyue mysteriously: "Sister, others don't know, don't I know? Your disguise skills should be very good, right? Don't say that you pretend to be me, it's not a big problem to pretend to be a man, right?" Then she glanced down Mengyue's face, and then suddenly woke up: "Oh yes, if you pretend to be a man, you should wear thicker clothes."

Mengyue's eyes changed slightly: "When did you show that I can disguise?"

"It should be that you knew when you first started practicing? About three years ago, my father received a disguise master. Not long after he left, you quietly took pig skin from the kitchen. I secretly looked at it a few times, so naturally I knew it! By the way, the one I was going to see this time is the wife of a wealthy businessman. Maybe I can get you some real human skin masks, which is much more useful than pig skin!"

Meng Yue thought for a moment, then nodded: "Okay, I promised you."

Aning cheered happily: "Okay! Then that's it!"

After saying that, Aning wanted to turn around and leave. But Mengyue stretched out her pale hand and grabbed her: "Wait! I think we'll make it clear now!"

Aning turned around in confusion and nodded, "You said!"

"You're leaving lightly, but it may not be so easy when you come back. Have you ever thought about it?" Meng Yue stared at Aning with a bright look.

"Ah?" Aning was a little confused: "Sister, please make it clear. Are you likely to encounter any trouble when I come back?"

"I'm too lazy to explain, just give an example! If Li Heng married 'you' to the outside world during your absence, what should you do?"

"I understand!" Aning said one thing: "You mean, during this period, you may be forced to do something as my own, right?"

"That's right!" Meng Yue said in a deep voice: "So have you thought about it? What are you going to do if something happens?"

Aning laughed: "Let me say that, I will take on whatever you do if you do! As for extreme things as you said, if you really give birth, then you can live a good life with my identity! I can't do anything if I don't become this princess! With my martial arts, I can make a fortune at any mountain wherever I go to be a mountain king!"

Mengyue was stunned for a moment, then frowned and said, "Are you serious?"

Aning's face also became solemn: "Yes! If it's such a coincidence, then the identity of this princess is the gift I gave you! Although you may feel a little awkward, isn't this identity also a good thing for you?"

Meng Yue was silent for a long time, then nodded and said, "Yes! You are right, then you can go back first and come to me when you leave!"

"Yeah!" Aning responded and stood up and left. Mengyue stared at her back until she disappeared into the woods outside the yard...

On the fifth day, Aning arrived at the south gate of Chang'an City as promised. Wu Daozi had already been waiting there. He prepared a little red horse for Aning. He was not tall but had slender limbs. Aning had not grown up yet and was naturally not tall, so he was quite compatible with this horse.

Although Jinling is far away from Chang'an, as the ancient capital of Jiangdong, the court naturally attaches great importance to it. Therefore, the road from Chang'an to Jinling can be said to be flat. It took more than ten days to come from Chang'an City to the north bank of the river. After crossing the river, they entered the Jinling city gate. Seeing that it was getting late, the two of them were tired all the way, so they found an inn to stay in.

Early the next morning, the two of them cleaned up early and got up to go to Wang Yuanbao's mansion.

If you want to talk about where the Jinling Prefect’s home is, many people in the city may not know. But if you ask where Wang Yuanbao’s home is, you can tell me a lot if you find someone.

According to people, Aning and Wu Daozi quickly arrived at Wang Yuanbao's doorstep. As soon as they saw the courtyard wall of his house, Aning felt moved. The courtyard wall of his house was not high, but the color was quite beautiful. The vermilion wall was like a straight red silk, with no variegated color from beginning to end.

Aning was even more surprised that the color of the courtyard wall was extremely bright. But if it were ordinary people, that's all. However, Aning was born in the royal family and had a very extraordinary vision. She could tell at a glance that this wall was definitely not painted recently. This means that the paint used to paint the wall has excellent durability and has basically not faded. While walking, Aning also touched the texture of the wall. He suddenly felt that the paint used to paint this wall is probably no less than the paint used in the outer wall of the Daming Palace.

When they walked to the gate of the mansion, two tall stone lions stood on both sides of the gate of the mansion. Two burly men stood straight at the feet of the stone lion with whistle sticks. Seeing Wu Daozi and Aning coming, one of the men immediately came forward and bowed and said, "Two, what can I do to serve?"

He was still holding a whistle stick in his hand, but he spoke politely. After hearing this, a burst of praise rang out in his heart. Wu Daozi bowed and replied: "Little brother, please report it to your master and wife, and say that his old friend Wu Daozi came to visit."

"Okay!" The man nodded and turned around and entered the mansion.

Soon after, he walked out the door again and bowed to Wu Daozi: "Sir, my master is not here for something. Madam, please come to the mansion."

Wu Daozi nodded, then took a step and entered the mansion. Aning naturally followed closely behind.

Walking all the way from the mansion to the main hall, Aning saw what low-key luxury is. Whether it is the stone slabs on the ground, the flowers and plants in the courtyard, or the stone statues of different kinds, they are all like paints painted on the wall. Ordinary people look ordinary, but in Aning's view, they are all valuable things.

Involuntarily, she compared the Daming Palace with the Wang family's house. Then she found in surprise that although everything could be found in the Daming Palace, if she compared it with a large land such as the Wang family, there was really no place more luxurious than the Wang family.

Before Aning could sigh anything, she and Wu Daozi came to the door of the main hall under the guidance of their servants.

Before Aning could see clearly the situation in the hall, a loud laughter rang out of the hall: "Hahahaha! Come in quickly, Lao Wu, we haven't seen each other for a long time!"
