Sometimes when people are in high spirits, nothing and no rules can stop them. In the past, Li Xiang did not believe this. He thought that he had very strong self-control ability, but after what happened just now, his view began to change.
Changsun Pingting changed into a comfortable position and leaned on Li Xiang's shoulder. She had never thought about such a day before, but it came today. Changsun Pingting had nothing to regret. Perhaps this was all arranged by God. Even if she had to bear any consequences, she was willing to bear them now.
After the passion, one really has to think about what to do about this matter. Li Xiang is already engaged, and it is impossible for him to marry Changsun Pingting with great fanfare. However, Changsun Pingting did not ask for this. As a smart woman, how could she ask for this?
"Don't worry, I won't make things difficult for you. No one will come to my place during this period of time, and the people around here are my confidants. Even if someone finds out, no one will say anything."
Changsun Pingting's words made Li Xiang feel very uncomfortable. This man was a real scumbag. He slept with her but couldn't give her a legitimate status. Especially in the feudal society, this woman would not have a good ending.
"Although I can't give you a status, I can swear to you that future children will be treated equally. As long as they are capable, I will never treat them differently."
After Li Xiang finished speaking, Changsun Pingting felt relieved. As a woman, she was already in this state, and it was unlikely that she would change. So she could only rely on her children. She was supposed to spend her whole life in Tubo, but now she could live in Chang'an without a formal status. This was already much better than before.
"Who's going to give birth to your child?"
Changsun Pingting said shyly that in the early years, when she was in front of Li Xiang, she had to act like an elder. Now it has become like this. Thinking of some things in the past, her face was hot and she really didn't know how to continue the conversation.
"Please leave now. I know you have things to do today, but too much has happened so far. Can we take some time to think it over? As for what to do next, we can't decide today."
Just now, the two of them were still in love, and Changsun Pingting had become a real woman today. But when she looked up and saw Li Xiang, she really didn't know how to face the person in front of her, so it would be better for her to calm down for a while.
Although Li Xiang wanted to stay, he thought about what happened today and felt a little embarrassed. After all, the two of them had not had this kind of relationship before. Today, the window paper was broken, and it would take some time to digest.
"Then wait for me to come back in the evening."
After saying this, Li Xiang left.
Changsun Pingting wanted to say something, but Li Xiang had already disappeared. She didn't want Li Xiang to come over at night, but she didn't say it. Even if Li Xiang was here, she couldn't say it. There is only so much between men and women. It's not just men who think about this. Women who have just tasted the benefits also think the same way. If Li Xiang comes back at night...
After Li Xiang came out, no one around him noticed him. Li Xiang also arranged a few of his own people to protect him here. In addition, he had to screen everyone in the yard. This matter must not be known to others. If others knew about it, he would really have no face to stay in Chang'an.
It is said that people's hearts are hidden. Although these people have been trained by Changsun Pingting for many years, traitors are not uncommon in Chang'an City, so Li Xiang has to investigate all of them. Only those who come out of the system are the most loyal.
After leaving the Changsun family's villa, Li Xiang found a house a few hundred meters away. Li Xiang asked his men to buy it. Every time he went to Changsun Pingting's place, he might not be so lucky. If he bought a house here, he could dig a tunnel to get there.
For ordinary people, digging a tunnel of several hundred meters is simply a life-threatening task, and they don’t know when it can be dug through. But for Li Xiang, he has a lot of system soldiers under his command, and they all have the combat strength of twenty-five people. If they can't even complete such a small task, then they are not worth so many points.
According to the original agreement, Li Xiang should have come at noon today, but because of the incident with Changsun Pingting, the banquet was postponed from noon to the evening. Although Cheng Yaojin was a little unhappy, he also knew that Li Xiang was a responsible person and that something important must have happened, so everyone in the Cheng family postponed the banquet to the evening.
When the sun was about to set, a large group of people from the East Palace finally arrived. Li Xiang was now the crown prince and had a lot more followers than before. When he came to visit his father-in-law, he couldn't be too shabby.
Various kinds of gifts lined up half the street. In fact, when people outside said that Li Xiang was coming, many curious people were waiting at the door. They also wanted to see how generous His Royal Highness the Crown Prince was. When the East Palace came to give gifts, they saw it very clearly. Now it was just a normal visit, but it blocked half the street again.
It would be a lie for the nobles in Chang'an City to say that they did not envy Cheng Yaojin. Who doesn't have a daughter waiting to get married? But at that time, everyone was just watching and did not put it into practice like Cheng Yaojin. Now we can only watch from the sidelines. However, after Cheng Yaojin's daughter married into the East Palace, Li Xiang could marry a concubine, and there would be more people at that time.
Young ladies from big families generally don't want to be concubines, but you also have to look at who that person is. Li Xiang is now the crown prince. If she can become a concubine, she will be the imperial consort in the future, and the whole family will be promoted. So these people are also keeping an eye on her. After the wedding, each family will start fighting openly and secretly again.
"Greetings, His Royal Highness."
Under the leadership of Cheng Yaojin, all the people of the Cheng family, big and small, stood at the door. Li Xiang came directly on horseback and dismounted when he was fifty steps away from the gate. If Li Xiang accepted this great gift while riding on a horse, it would be equivalent to trampling on Cheng Yaojin's face.
Li Xiang did not help Cheng Yaojin up. After Cheng Yaojin finished his greetings, Li Xiang bowed solemnly, which was the etiquette for a son-in-law to meet his father-in-law...
