With a simple greeting, the original awkwardness between the two seemed to disappear.
There was not much in the small pavilion, not enough for a glass of cold water and a little cat food.
Bai Song looked over and sat down: "Why don't you raise a bird instead of a cat?"
"I saw my husband asking Grandpa Huang to raise cats, and I thought that my husband liked cats at that time. There was no life in this new mansion, so I took it upon myself to bring in a few cats from Xingqing Palace. I didn't expect that my husband would be the first to do so.
I was frightened by the cats when I came here, I will send them all back another day."
"No need, just stay if you like. As you know, I will rarely be at home in the next few days, and it will be fun to have some cats with me."
"Yeah." Li Xiangnan nodded slightly and responded.
Then the two fell silent again. Bai Song didn't know what to say. He knew what he was going to do in the future and where he was going.
At least people in the palace will give Li Xiangnan some information.
There is no need to add any unnecessary extravagance to it. If they just meet once and leave, I'm afraid Li Xiangnan will be sad and disappointed.
She has been away for half a year. If the princess feels unhappy now, she will probably have to worry about her in the Prince Consort's house for a long time.
Since we are already husband and wife, even if there is no deep love between man and woman, we should not treat them like this.
Bai Song was still thinking, but it was Li Xiangnan who broke the silence first: "This marriage contract was decided jointly by the father and the queen. Even if my husband doesn't like me, there is nothing I can do about it."
"It's not that I don't like it. The princess is very beautiful and has a noble status. I, Bai Song, am just a commoner. I'm just afraid that I won't be worthy..."
"My husband is the greatest genius in the Tang Dynasty. All women in the world admire my husband. It is my blessing to be able to marry my husband. To be honest, since the last time I was in the small pavilion of Xingqing Palace, my husband has been trying to avoid
Grandpa Huang got under my concubine’s skirt..."
Thinking of the scene in the small pavilion, Li Xiangnan's face turned redder and redder, with a hint of joy in his shyness, and his voice paused slightly.
Bai Song frowned after hearing this and sighed softly in his heart, thinking that he was too careless.
For me, the scene under the skirt was just a simple thing, and I forgot about it after it passed.
But for women, it's not that simple.
"At that moment, my husband lived in my heart. Even if my parents arranged this marriage, I have no regrets at all. I am afraid that my husband will dislike it."
"I don't dislike it, I don't dislike it!" Bai Song shook his head repeatedly.
"But I heard from my mother that the girl surnamed Li that my husband wants to marry is Li Jing's granddaughter Li Shuwang... I also heard my husband mention Shu Wang when I was in Jixian County, and I even mentioned Shu Wang..."
Li Xiangnan whispered, and she could hear that she was feeling slightly uneasy. Later, her tone became softer and gradually turned into a whisper that only she could hear.
"Shu Wang is Shu Wang, and the princess is a princess. Since the matter is a foregone conclusion, I will definitely fulfill my duties as husband-in-law and will not let the princess suffer any injustice."
Li Xiangnan nodded and frowned slightly: "You have married me, what about Shu Wang?"
Bai Song thought for a while and whispered: "When I met Li Jing during this trip to Yizhou, I proposed to him in person..."
Having said this, Bai Song still felt a little guilty and couldn't help but glance at the princess in front of him.
Li Xiangnan showed no expression and just listened.
Bai Song added: "I heard from the Queen, who I want to marry in the future, and which woman I want to bring home, as long as the princess agrees..."
"My husband will marry a girl from whichever family he likes. As long as the sister from Youzhou nods, I don't have any objections here. I will take care of my mother's side."
Hearing this, Bai Song felt a big stone drop in his heart. He moved his seat as if to please, sat next to Li Xiangnan with a smile, and gently held her little hand in his palm.
Bai Song's thoughts are too obvious. He was very polite before, but now he makes such an intimate move. Who can't see it?
When Li Xiangnan saw this, he felt sour and jealous, and asked, "Besides those from the Li Jing family, is there anyone else who has not married yet?"
Bai Song rubbed his nose and really thought about it seriously: "Sang Sang... you should remember that Sang Sang and I have been together for a long time and are inseparable. Next time we come back, we will marry each other."
"Any more?"
"Well...if you are thinking about it, Qing'er..."
Bai Song muttered, and suddenly realized something was wrong. Seeing Li Xiangnan twisting his nose, he quickly smiled: "No more, no more..."
As he spoke, he held Li Xiangnan's hand with both hands and said with a longing look on his face: "With the princess, Xiang'er, Sangsang, Shu Wang...then I will be the fourth wife. Enough is enough. I don't want to think about it anymore."
"My husband is a concubine, and there is no need for another family. The reputation of a husband-in-law having concubines is not good. From now on, my husband will serve as a young master. It is appropriate to consider the future."
"Okay, okay, enough is enough, enough is enough."
"Ms. sir, will you fall in love with Xiangnan?" Li Xiangnan suddenly asked quietly.
She could say this because she knew very well in her heart that her husband-in-law had more responsibility than affection for her. It was only with the pressure on his head from his father, the queen and his mother that she allowed him to hold her hand with peace of mind.
Li Xiangnan didn't want to stop there, and knew that it would take time to get the sincerity of his husband.
"I will definitely exchange my sincerity for my husband's sincerity. I have been at the consort's house for the past six months, looking forward to my husband's return."
…
Bai Song didn't stay in the Prince Consort's Mansion for too long. He talked to the princess, made some confessions, and flirted a little. He left the princess with a lot of expectations, and then he left with peace of mind.
The next stop is Li Jing's mansion.
It was also the place Bai Song was most afraid of going.
At this moment, I still don’t know how to explain Shu Wang.
I said before that I asked the Supreme Emperor to grant me a marriage, but now I have married a princess.
Any woman would definitely tear Bai Song to pieces after learning the news.
Sure enough, when I went to Miss Li's yard today, I was greeted by Bai Song with a sword on his neck.
"Huh! Mr. Bai, you are so romantic! You just had your wedding with the princess, and the next day you go to your old best friend's boudoir and knock on the door. Aren't you afraid that the princess will come with a knife to catch you?"
"Shu Wang, please listen to my explanation. This is my fault, but there are really many misunderstandings."
"Misunderstanding? What is there to misunderstand? You don't have to marry if you don't like it. You are fearless. How can someone force you to marry a woman you don't like? If you marry, you just like it! Isn't that right?"
"..."
One sentence blocked Bai Song at the door. Shu Wang knew Bai Song well, but her words left Bai Song speechless. All the reasons she had thought up seemed to be unconvincing.
"Go away, don't come back again!" Li Shuwang looked at Bai Song coldly, then took back his sword and closed the door.
Bai Song stood blankly at the door. Bai Song did not expect to be rejected.
Bai Song was stunned for a moment and said: "I will leave the capital in the next six months and come back in half a year."
"You go, it doesn't matter where you go."
"I..." Bai Song was speechless. He felt that any words of comfort at this moment were just rhetoric. The facts were before his eyes. It was understandable and inevitable that Shu Wang would be angry.
"I will definitely marry you. I will go to Yizhou to propose marriage to your grandfather in person."
Bai Song responded with a moment of silence.
Bai Song frowned, thinking that there was no need to say anything more, and turned around to leave.
At this moment, a little maid appeared in the yard, standing there, looking at Bai Song blankly: "You...who are you? Come..."
With quick eyes and quick hands, Bai Song stepped forward and blocked the little maid's mouth.
"Let her go."
The door opened, Li Shuwang stood at the door and stared at Bai Song and said.
Bai Song looked at Shu Wang and let go.
Shu Wang said to the little maid: "Don't make a fuss, this is an irrelevant person, just pretend you didn't see anything."
"Oh..." The little maid responded blankly and gave Bai Song a strange look.
Bai Song was reluctant to leave, but Shu Wang looked like he wouldn't stay, and he was too embarrassed to stay.
When he was about to leave, he suddenly saw the little maid holding a bowl of medicine in her hand.
Bai Song turned around and became serious: "Are you sick?"
"Don't worry about it!" Shu Wang suddenly realized something and shouted to the little maid in an aggravated tone, "Come here quickly!"
"Oh." The little maid responded and walked towards Li Shuwang.
Bai Song was very sensitive to the medicine, so he took a little dip in it and put it in his mouth to taste it.
The formula in the medicine was immediately clear.
Bai Song took a breath, "Isn't this an anti-fetal medicine?"
Bai Song quickly chased after him and asked subconsciously: "Shu Wang, why are you drinking anti-fetal medicine?"
"Nonsense!" Shu Wang responded in a panic, pulling the little maid around and closing the door.
Only then did Bai Song realize: "Anti-fetal medicine... Shu Wang, you, you, you... are you pregnant?!"
Bai Song was trying to estimate the time, wouldn't it be just right?!
In an instant, all Bai Song's depression was swept away, and instead he became uncontrollably excited. He ran back to the door of the room and kept beating the door.
"Open the door, open the door! Shu Wang, are you pregnant?"
"Nonsense, my young lady is an innocent girl, you are calling me someone again!"
The person who answered Bai Song was the little maid.
At this time, Bai Song didn't care about other people, and Shu Wang didn't open the door. Bai Song slammed the door and broke in directly.
"Ah! Thief! Someone is coming!"
Bai Song frightened the little maid and screamed loudly.
Shu Wang frowned, fearing that the sound would spread, so he pulled the little maid: "Don't make any noise!"
At the same time, he pulled out his sword and put it on Bai Song's neck.
"You, get out!"
Bai Song could leave before, but now he can't!
"Kill me if you can!" Bai Song took a few steps forward with his sword in his hand.
Shu Wang refused to retreat at first, until he saw that the sword had already made a gash on Bai Song's shoulder, then he put away the sword and sat on the bedside aggrievedly, tears streaming down his face.
Bai Song was heartbroken when he saw it. He stepped forward and held Shu Wang in his arms, saying softly: "I'm sorry, it was me who broke my promise. It's my fault. No matter what the reason was, I made you sad in the end."
, it’s all my fault. Let’s put this aside for now. If you want to kill or behead me, I will do it. But you can’t hide your pregnancy. Do you want me to show it to you?”
Shu Wang wiped away his tears and stretched out his hand.
After Bai Song took the pulse, he was overjoyed!
This time I really have the guts!
"I, Bai Song, have planted seeds in the Tang Dynasty! Hahaha..."
