Li Lizhi sat in the carriage and looked at Zhang Nan's mansion, feeling infinitely melancholy. What is this? As the eldest princess of the Tang Dynasty, she was now sent to the family of her father and had to pretend to be husband and wife with this minister.

Although Li Lizhi felt a vague expectation in her heart, she was still a little embarrassed after all.

"Go, go and knock on the door." Li Lizhi said to the palace maid beside her.

"Yes." After responding, the palace maid quickly walked forward and knocked on the door of Zhang Nan's mansion.

The door was opened by Lao Su. After revealing his identity, Lao Su quickly led Li Lizhi in. After Li Lizhi entered the door, he asked, "Well, isn't Lord Zhang in the mansion now?"

"If you go back to the princess, the master will take his wife to the private club and he should be back soon." Lao Su replied truthfully.

"Is that so? I heard that Lord Zhang has been sick in recent days, so why does he have time to accompany his wife to a private club?" Li Lizhi asked strangely.

"Ah, the master has indeed been sick in recent days, and he has only been getting better today, so the master took his wife who has not gone out to the private club." Lao Su explained.

"Okay, I understand. Go and do your business. I'll wait for Lord Zhang to come back here." After Li Lizhi said that, she sat on the chair in the main hall and started waiting for Zhang Nan to come back.

Before he could drink a few cups of tea, Zhang Nan came back. However, as soon as he opened the door, Zhang Nan was shocked when Zhang Nan saw Li Lizhi, and when Li Lizhi saw three women around Zhang Nan, Li Lizhi was also shocked.

"Why did the princess come to my mansion at this time? It is definitely impossible for the princess to come by herself. Could it be that Li Er is here too?" Zhang Nan thought to himself.

"Don't he only has one wife? Who are the other two people? Could it be that he has taken a concubine? What should I do?" Li Lizhi also thought silently in her heart.

Zhang Nan didn't dare to stay for too long, so he walked directly to Li Lizhi's side: "Caomins meet the princess."

"Mr. Zhang, how can you call yourself a grass-roots?" Li Lizhi smiled.

"This is my subordinate who has resigned and he has no official position now. What is this not called a grass-roots person?" Zhang Nan asked back.

"Mr. Zhang, you are not called resigning. At most, you took off your official robe in Tai Chi Hall. My father did not agree to resign. By the way, isn't Mr. Zhang going to introduce these two people to you?"

Although Li Lizhi's tone was as normal, she still minded very much. Although Jin Deman and Jin Shengman had already visited Comrade Li Er's palace, it was just a matter of business. And whenever she had the chance, Comrade Li Er would stay in the Smell Palace with Jin Deman, so Li Lizhi had never met Jin Deman and Jin Shengman.

After Zhang Nan thought for a while, he planned to introduce the two's new identities directly.

"This is the senior sister who is here." After Zhang Nan finished speaking, he raised his hand and signaled Jin Deman beside him.

Jin Deman also smiled slightly to Li Lizhi. After all, she will be the Concubine Li Er in the future, and Jin Deman herself is a queen, so Jin Deman did not want to salute Li Lizhi.

When Li Lizhi heard that Jin Deman was Zhang Nan's senior sister, she didn't think much about etiquette. After all, she had heard of Zhang Nan's previous glorious deeds, so she did not take this little thing to heart.

"This is my wife's distant relative. She must be a cousin. There was a sudden change in her family, so she came to join her cousin." Zhang Nan said with a smile.

When Jin Shengman heard Zhang Nan say this, he also gave Zhang Nan a blank look.

"Oh? Since you are a relative, why don't you live in Lord Cui's mansion, but in Lord Zhang's mansion? This person shouldn't be married yet, so Yu Li is not in harmony." Li Lizhi quickly heard the loophole in Zhang Nan's words.

"This..." Zhang Nan was suddenly asked by Li Lizhi, and he really didn't think so much.

"My cousin and I have been missing for many years. When I was a child, I played well with my cousin. Now that my cousin is married, I still want to be with me, right, cousin." Jin Shengman said, and poked Cui Yue's waist. Cui Yue also nodded quickly and said yes.

"No need to introduce this. Princess, you have seen it. This is my wife." After Zhang Nan said that, Cui Yue bowed to Li Lizhi.

Li Lizhi also nodded slightly.

"By the way, I forgot to ask Princess what it is that you are looking for me today." Zhang Nan scratched his head and asked. Logically, the relationship between Zhang Nan and Li Lizhi is not good enough to visit each other. Even if it is so good, Li Lizhi cannot just go to the minister's house casually, and she is alone.

Just now, Zhang Nan had quietly observed that there was no scent of Comrade Li Er in the entire mansion, so Zhang Nan's heart was relieved.

"This... I hope I can talk to Lord Zhang alone." After all, Li Lizhi's face was thin. When she thought of pretending to be a couple, Li Lizhi's face became hot. What's more, Zhang Nan's real wife is still by her side, and Li Lizhi couldn't even say anything.

After hearing this, Zhang Nan thought that Li Lizhi came with Comrade Li Er’s secret mission, so she asked Cui Yue and the others to go to the backyard first. Although Zhang Nan has resigned now, if Comrade Li Er encounters something difficult, Zhang Nan still needs to help.

After Cui Yue and the others left the main hall, Li Lizhi said the matter in full. In the end, the voice became smaller and smaller. Zhang Nan took a lot of effort to hear what Li Lizhi was saying.

At the end, Zhang Nan was also shocked.

"Princess, this is probably inconsistent." Zhang Nan was immediately displeased when he heard that he wanted to pretend to be married with Li Lizhi, but he was not willing to refuse openly, so he could only say so.

After hearing this, Li Lizhi nodded and then said, "Father said he guessed you would say this. Father said that he had promised the Tang Dynasty to no longer have a marriage, but now he still has to send the envoys away. He also said that he had done what Lord Zhang proposed, and now it is time for Lord Zhang to share his worries."

“…”

"I'm speechless when I said it so well." Zhang Nan said silently in his heart.

"Then is this pretending thing only for one day in the New Year's Day meeting?" Since Zhang Nan had no way to refuse, he could only ask how many days it would take to pretend. If it was one day, Zhang Nan could still accept it, but if it took a long time, Zhang Nan would not be able to stand it.

"It's only one day, and I can wait until the envoys meet Lord Zhang, but I need to live in Lord Zhang's mansion in the past few days." Li Li said.

"When will the New Year's Day meeting begin?"

“Fifteenth day of the first lunar month.”

“…”

"Is this the life of three wives and four concubines already started? I was eventually influenced by the bad traditions of the old society." Zhang Nan thought silently in his heart.
