"You really haven't changed at all. Aren't you afraid that I might have ulterior motives?"
"Then I'm still very powerful. I'm capable of sweeping across the Western Regions. Mengxi, do you want to see it?"
"That's not necessary."
"Let's go and talk somewhere else." Gu Can didn't want to just stand in the messy alley and reminisce about the past.
Gu Can took Xiao Mengxi to the Princess's Mansion. The moment he opened the door, memories flooded back. Gu Liang had always considered Beiyuan's capital the imperial city and had no intention of moving it. The Princess's Mansion had always been meticulously maintained.
"Greetings, Princess. Dean Xiao."
"Well, go prepare some tea and snacks and send them to the Rain Pavilion."
"yes."
"The past seems to be still vivid in my mind, but things and people have changed." Xiao Mengxi couldn't help but sigh.

On the eighth day of the eighth month, the sky is clear and the air is fresh. It is a good time for marriage.
Yue Siyuan rode a tall horse and brought a sedan chair carried by eight people to pick up his bride.
Gu Can and Li Hongyu came last night, and the three of them slept on the same bed.
"While I'm here today, I won't let him marry you easily." Gu Can said firmly.
"He is just a weak scholar, how many times can he fall in your hands? But please don't ruin our Mengxi's good marriage." Li Hongyu saw Xiao Mengxi's blushing cheeks and expressed her thoughts.
