Chapter 81 My name is Xiuning

"Person Li, what do you want to give to me?" Princess Pingyang raised her delicate face and asked Li Xiu curiously, who was pushing the wheelchair. This was the third time she had asked this question.

When Li Xiu heard Princess Pingyang's words, she smiled but said nothing, and seemed to be happier and happier. Finally, she almost laughed out loud, which made Princess Pingyang feel a little embarrassed and said, "Person Li, why don't you answer my question?"

"Princess, don't be angry. I actually thought of something, so I couldn't help laughing?" Li Xiu finally held back the smile on his face.

"Oh, what happened?" Princess Pingyang was not really angry, and immediately asked curiously.

"Haha, it's nothing, it's just that when I just came back from Gyeongju with the princess, I gave you the greenhouse as a surprise on behalf of Mr. Ma. As a result, you only asked one question at that time what the surprise was. After I didn't answer, you never asked again. But now in the same situation, you have asked three times in a row. Why did such a big change happen?" Li Xiu said with a smile.

"Is there something like this?" Princess Pingyang thought about it seriously when she heard this. Although she had been back from Gyeongju for a long time, she had a good memory. It seemed that she was really like what Li Xiu said. Her attitude changed a lot in the same matter. This also made her smile a little embarrassedly, "It seems that it is really like this, but I don't know why it is like this. Maybe it was different from the mood at the beginning, right?"

"It's not that the mood is different, but the mood is different. When the two are not familiar with each other, they often wear a mask. After hiding the mask of the real self, they will slowly put down the mask and show their true self." Li Xiu said with a smile.

Princess Pingyang also showed a thoughtful expression when Li Xiu said these words. After a moment, she asked: "Personnel Li, I wonder what kind of person I am in your eyes?"

Hearing Princess Pingyang's question, Li Xiu suddenly smiled and said with a hint: "I had heard of your deeds before I saw the princess yet. In my heart, you should be tall and strong, have big arms and round waists, hold a horse spear in your hands and take the general's head among the troops..."

"Hehehe~, you... you must be deliberately making fun of me. How can a woman look like that??" Hearing Li Xiu's obvious words of teasing, Princess Pingyang couldn't stand up straight. Finally, she yelled at Li Xiu with her backhand, and looked at him with a slant, and her charming look made people unable to help but be moved.

"Cough~, what I said is true!" Li Xiu was also lightened by Princess Pingyang's eyes, and then he coughed dryly and said seriously again, "But later, when I first met the princess in Qingzhou City, you were lying on the bed with a pale face. His weak look was really unbelievable. You are the lady Li San with great military achievements."

When Li Xiu said this, he thought of the scene in his mind again when he first met Princess Pingyang. Until now, he felt that Princess Pingyang looked more like Meimei Lin. He really couldn't imagine how strong a heart was hidden under her weak appearance?

When Princess Pingyang heard Li Xiu’s first impression of her, she was silent for a while and suddenly sighed: “The times are uncontrollable. Actually, I don’t like fighting. If possible, I want to marry a good husband, and then take care of my husband and children at home, raise flowers and be a girl. This kind of leisurely and peaceful life is what I want most.”

"The princess's temperament is calm, which I discovered later. However, when the princess just woke up, although her words and deeds were very polite and manners, and she didn't seem to be as arrogant as a princess, it actually made people feel alienated and didn't dare to get close to her. Now that she is slowly getting familiar with the princess, you have also slowly put down your mask and occasionally show your true nature. For example, you are very curious, so you have tried to know what I gave me?" Li Xiu said with a smile at the end.

"What about you? I found that Captain Li, you, have also changed a lot in front of me!" Princess Pingyang Li Xiu suddenly smiled and asked again with a smile.

"Haha~ Of course I am the same. For example, I am much more courageous in front of the princess. I definitely didn't say the words I just said before, but now I can say them like a friend chatting." Li Xiu laughed and said,

When he faced Princess Pingyang now, he did not have any pressure, especially after talking to the river that day, the relationship between the two also underwent some subtle changes, but they both tacitly kept silent about this subtle change.

"Are we really friends?" Princess Pingyang suddenly said in surprise when she heard this, and looked at Li Xiu with great anticipation. Since she became a princess, she has never had a friend to talk to.

"This..." Li Xiu wanted to nod immediately, but suddenly thought of something. He shook his head with a smirk, "I can't be considered a friend yet!"

Seeing Li Xiu shook his head, the expectation on Princess Pingyang's face immediately turned into a very disappointed expression, but then Li Xiu smiled and said, "If it were friends, if we went out together to meet an acquaintance, we would introduce it to others, this is my friend XXX, but you know my name, but I don't know your name. In this way, I can't introduce you at all, so we can only be half a friend!"

When Princess Pingyang heard Li Xiu begging for his name, she couldn't help but look at him shyly. In addition to her parents and brothers, a woman's boudoir name would usually only tell her husband's family when she was engaged.

Of course, there are also women who may also tell their names when they meet Xinyi's man. For example, on the Lantern Festival, the handkerchiefs that the man in Xinyi often embroidered with their own name or a certain word in the name to make a difference. Li Xiu is really too bold to ask about his name now.

It is precisely because of the above reasons that after hearing Li Xiu's words, Princess Pingyang shyly lowered her head and remained silent for a long time. Although Li Xiu knew that the names of ancient women were easily refused to show them, she didn't know what kind of mentality he was. He really wanted to know the real name of Princess Pingyang. Otherwise, she would always be a princess, and the princess's call this would always make people feel a sense of distance.

I saw Princess Pingyang lowered her head and remained silent for a while. Li Xiu even thought she had refused to answer this question, but he didn't expect that he suddenly heard Princess Pingyang whisper shyly: "Xiu Ning, my name is Xiu Ning." (Princess Pingyang's real name is not recorded in history books, but the name Li Xiu Ning has long been deeply rooted in people's hearts, so Lao Yu was lazy and simply used it.)

"There is a beautiful appearance and a peaceful personality. The name Xiuning is really compatible with the princess!" Li Xiu couldn't help but smile when he heard Princess Pingyang's name. It seemed that Li Yuan had a good name, but unfortunately Princess Pingyang failed to inherit the advantages of her father. Just look at the maids around her. She probably only can think of the weird names such as helmets and armor.

When Princess Pingyang heard Li Xiu praise her beautiful appearance, she turned red again. It was the first time that a young man praised her appearance in front of her. She didn't know how to interfere for a while, so she had to keep silent. Just as Li Xiu finished speaking, the two of them fell into a subtle atmosphere again, just like when they were talking to the river last time, no one took the lead in breaking this atmosphere.

I don’t know how long it took, Li Xiu finally pushed Princess Pingyang to her house. The peach blossoms on both sides of the road were blooming in full bloom. After the warm spring wind blew, a few petals occasionally swept down, drew a graceful arc in the air, and slowly fell on Li Xiu and the others. This finally woke them up. At that moment, Li Xiu showed a soft smile and said, “Since you are here, how about the princess sitting in the living room?”

If it were normal, Princess Pingyang would definitely agree immediately, but for some reason, she felt her heart beating very quickly and did not dare to look up at Li Xiu. Therefore, she said in a panic: "No, I have something to do today, and I will come to Li Xiaowei's house as a guest next day!"

"Okay, the princess wait a moment, I'll get the things!" Li Xiu did not show any disappointment. He turned around and entered his room, and then took out a long strip of things. The bottom tip and the upper width were exactly a crutch that was very common in hospitals in later generations.

At that moment, Li Xiu came out again with a crutch, and then smiled and said to Princess Pingyang: "The princess's injury has almost recovered. Now I can practice walking. This crutch was specially made by craftsmen based on the princess' height. Although it is very simple, it is very convenient to use and can help the princess practice walking."

Li Xiu said and introduced the use of crutches. Princess Pingyang was also very curious about this strange crutch. She stood up and tried it, but found that she was really much more relaxed when walking. At least she didn't have to hold the railing like before, so she had to practice walking.

"I have troubled Captain Li again. I don't know how to thank you!" Princess Pingyang walked a few steps with a cane, then looked at Li Xiudao with gratitude.

"Haha, I am a doctor. Since I want to treat your injuries, I will naturally be responsible for it to the end, so these are what I should do!" Li Xiu said with a laugh at this time. He never thought of making Princess Pingyang grateful to him for doing these things.

With Li Xiu's crutches, Princess Pingyang stopped sitting in a wheelchair and slowly left with a cane under the escort of several maids. Li Xiu stood in front of the door and looked at her back until Princess Pingyang and others completely disappeared at the end of the road. Li Xiu suddenly said, "Come out, I've seen you!"

"That person was Princess Pingyang just now?" As soon as Li Xiu finished speaking, a woman in red turned around behind a thick peach tree and asked incredible expression.
