Although they are all Li Xiang's women, women also have different levels. Take the women in the East Palace for example, they are in the highest position. No one, including the Yongping sisters, can compete with them.
But if it is overseas, especially for people like Princess Aiko, they are basically at the lowest level. Yongping is just the sister of Princess Yongning, but just one sentence can make Princess Aiko retreat.
Li Xiang drank a lot of wine during the day and was now asleep on the bed. The palace maids around him were shocked when they saw that it was Princess Yongping who came in. However, Princess Yongping took off all her clothes as usual, and these palace maids understood what was going on.
Their responsibility is to check whether these people are carrying any sharp weapons and to ensure Li Xiang's safety. They don't care about anything else.
Of course, two palace maids have to be kept in this room at all times. If there is any problem with Li Xiang's breathing, these two people will rush out immediately. Although Li Xiang has said this many times, this is to ensure Li Xiang's safety. In addition to Li Xiang, other royal members live like this, including some sons of big families.
Although face is very important, these people are destined to never leave Li Xiang's yard, so it doesn't matter if they hear it. What's more, many people were killed in their sleep. In order to ensure their own safety, face can be put aside.
Li Xiang, who was sleeping, only knew that he was being hugged by someone, and he didn't care about the rest of the things. Of course, Li Xiang didn't have the energy to do anything bad now, he just slept with Princess Yongping for one night.
When he woke up the next morning, Li Xiang thought that the person in his arms was Princess Aizi, so he pulled the woman to his side. But Li Xiang soon found something wrong because the scent of the woman was a little familiar.
Princess Yongping used orchid-scented perfume, which Li Xiang knew. Among the women around her, there was probably no one else who used this perfume except Princess Yongping. So Li Xiang had a bad feeling in his heart. Could it be that his wife's sister...
When Li Xiang slowly glanced sideways, he was also shocked. It was indeed Princess Yongping. How could this be possible? Although she did not do anything last night, in this situation, even if you say you did not do anything, Princess Yongping cannot be innocent.
Ever since Princess Yongping came to Fusang, Li Xiang knew what Princess Yongping was thinking, but Li Xiang's heart was not in this regard now, so he didn't care so much, but now he had to have an explanation.
During the turmoil in Nanzhao, Princess Yongping's husband Duan Hai had died, and there were not many members of the Duan family left, including other members. This was one of the reasons why Princess Yongping wanted to live in Chang'an City for a long time.
In fact, the society in the Tang Dynasty was very open. Even high-ranking officials would not pay attention to a woman's remarriage. There were many other people's wives in Li Shimin's palace.
It’s just that Li Xiang is a person from modern society, so he still finds it difficult to accept such things.
Princess Yongping had actually woken up a long time ago, but she didn't know how to face Li Xiang. She thought he would take action last night, but she didn't expect that Li Xiang drank too much yesterday and slept soundly the whole night. Even if Princess Yongping had other ideas, she couldn't do anything else until this person woke up. What's more, there were people watching next to her. If she did something too much, those two people would definitely stand up.
"Why do you do this?"
Li Xiang was now wearing a silk coat, and Princess Yongping could only cover her body with a quilt.
"To survive, for my son to survive."
Princess Yongping's voice was not loud. Apart from Li Xiang, the other two people in the room could not hear it. Now that Li Xiang had woken up, the two of them did not need to stay here. Li Xiang's martial arts was very strong. If Princess Yongping could hurt the awake Li Xiang, she would definitely be considered a martial arts master.
"Don't you have any way to survive now? As long as your sister stays with me for one day, you and your son won't have to worry about their lives. Are you being bullied by others in Chang'an City?"
Li Xiang said with some doubt, but he thought that such a thing would not happen. Even if someone bullied the woman in front of him, she would be able to retaliate quickly with her mind. If she wanted to complain, she should have let him know long ago.
"With your reputation and the fact that I'm a capable person, how could anyone possibly bully us? I'm doing this because even if no one bullies us now, there might be someone who does in the future."
Princess Yongping no longer hid herself and sat up directly in front of Li Xiang. The silk sheets on the bed certainly could not cover too much, and Li Xiang swallowed his saliva at this moment.
"Your Highness doesn't like me?"
Princess Yongping leaned closer to Li Xiang, and the fragrance of the orchid became stronger.
When Li Xiang was about to answer, the young eunuch outside came over and replied that a grand ceremony of congratulations was held yesterday. According to the schedule Li Xiang had set earlier, he would meet with some local officials of Fusang today, have a talk with them and give them some encouragement, so as to calm their minds and let them help the Tang Dynasty manage Fusang in the future.
According to their original plan, they should find a group of local officials from the Tang Dynasty, but after they come, they need someone to lead them. They can't just replace all of them directly.
If all these people were replaced, it would cause great social unrest, especially after the two rebellions, when people in society were unstable. So Li Xiang temporarily suspended the plan of replacing the Tang officials and let these Fuso officials hold up the post. It would not be too late to rotate them after the society was slightly stabilized.
"Don't let your sister know about what happened today. She's still a child and might not be able to accept it. I have something important to deal with first. We'll talk about it after I'm done."
After hearing what Li Xiang said, Princess Yongping felt relieved. This meant that she had entered the family. However, she was still jealous in her heart. They were sisters from the same mother, but when Li Xiang talked about Princess Yongning, he could not hide his love.
When talking about myself...
It's like a plaything.
