With a simple greeting, the original awkwardness between the two seemed to disappear.
There was not much in the pavilion, just a glass of cold water and some 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. Unexpectedly, this was the first time my husband 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 it. As you know, I will rarely be at home in the days to come. It will be fun to have some cats with me."
"Yes." Li Xiangnan nodded slightly and responded.
Then the two fell silent again. Bai Song didn't know what to say. The other party 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 news.
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 mansion for a long time.
Since they are already husband and wife, even if there is no deep love between man and woman, they should not be treated 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 number one 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 me. Grandpa Huang got under my concubine’s skirt..."
Thinking of the scene in the small pavilion, Li Xiangnan's face turned redder and redder. He was shy and a little happy, and his voice paused slightly.
Bai Song frowned when he heard it, and sighed softly in his heart, thinking that he was still 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 Xianggong wants to marry is Li Jing's granddaughter Li Shuwang... When I was in Jixian, I also heard Xianggong mention Shuwang, and I even talked about Shuwang..."
Li Xiangnan whispered, and she could hear that she was slightly uneasy. Later, the tone became softer and gradually became a murmur that only he 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 and father, 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 a little 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 has been with me for a long time and has been inseparable from me all the way. Next time we come back, we will marry each other."
"Any more?"
"Well...if you're 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 Princess, Xiang'er, Sangsang, Shu Wang...then I will be the fourth wife. That's enough, that's enough. I don't want to think about it anymore."
"My husband is a concubine, and he is no better than other families. The reputation of a husband 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 clearly in her heart that her husband-in-law had more responsibility than affection for her. It was only with the pressure of her father, queen and mother on her head 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 Prince Consort's house for the past six months, looking forward to his 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 house.
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 wanted the Supreme Emperor to grant me the marriage, but now I have married a princess.
Any woman would definitely tear Bai Song to pieces after learning the news.
Sure enough, when he went to Miss Li's yard today, what greeted Bai Song was a sword on his neck.
"Hmph! 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? If you don't like it, you don't have to marry me. You are fearless, how can someone force you to marry a woman you don't like? If you marry, it's just because you like it! Isn't that right?"
"..."
One sentence blocked Bai Song at the door. Shu Wang knew Bai Song well. Her words left Bai Song speechless. All the reasons she had thought up seemed to be unconvincing.
"Go away and don't come back again!" Li Shuwang looked at Bai Song coldly, then took back his sword and closed the door.
Bai Song stood at the door blankly. 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 in front of him. 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, and Li Shuwang stood at the door staring 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.
"Perilla, skullcap, amomum villosum, mugwort leaves, dodder... hiss..."
Bai Song took a deep 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?"
"That's nonsense. My young lady is an innocent girl. You call me someone else again!"
The person who answered Bai Song was the little maid.
At this time, Bai Song didn't care about other people. 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 matter down for the time being. 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.
Bai Song was overjoyed after taking a pulse!
This time I really have the guts!
"I, Bai Song, have planted seeds in the Tang Dynasty! Hahaha..."
