Princess Yongning had just become someone's daughter-in-law and was not quite sure how to take care of Li Xiang. Seeing Li Xiang sitting on the table, Princess Yongning was at a loss.
"You are such a jerk, girl! Hurry up and change His Highness's shoes and outer clothes. You are so tired from being outside all day. You should have a good rest quickly. I won't keep you here any longer."
Seeing her sister's look, Princess Yongping shook her head helplessly. "Based on your current situation, even your elder sister can't stand it. If you were to go to Chang'an City, you would probably be eaten up by those women without leaving anything left. They are fighting for their favor with all their might, and you are still a child. How can you compete with them?"
"Go and see Her Royal Highness off."
When Li Xiang saw Princess Yongping was about to leave, he asked his men to see her off. The two looked at each other, and perhaps only they knew what he meant.
"You big bad guy, what you said last night is completely different from what my sister said..."
Watching Princess Yongping go out, Princess Yongning skipped to Li Xiang's side like a little child, and sat on Li Xiang's thighs just like in the morning. For a moment, Li Xiang smelled the fragrant smell and almost stopped himself.
"What's the difference?"
Li Xiang's mind was still dizzy, and he didn't quite understand what the two sisters were talking about. When Princess Yongning told him everything with a blushing face, Li Xiang knew what was going on. He had already taught her how to say it, but he didn't expect that someone would still see through his flaws.
"Don't you like me?"
Compared to yesterday, the little girl was much more unrestrained. Perhaps she had accepted the idea that husband and wife were equal, so she didn't use so many honorific titles when speaking. This was what Li Xiang had always wanted. If the couple kept calling each other "Your Highness" and "Madam", it would be fine if they were just acting for a while, but if they did this every day, Li Xiang would probably be the first one who couldn't stand it.
"I don't dislike you. You're a smart person. Think about it carefully. If you were to have a baby at your age, what would be the chance of not being able to survive the birth? Giving birth is a difficult hurdle for women these days, but aren't there more people older than you who have survived?"
Li Xiang is a person from modern society, so he naturally knows a lot about these medical knowledge. Although he cannot explain the things in the Chinese medicine books, he can explain these things about probability very clearly.
After Li Xiang finished speaking, Princess Yongning raised her little head and thought about it. It was indeed the same as what Li Xiang said. Generally speaking, more adults die after giving birth to their first child after marriage, almost accounting for one-third. But when they are older and give birth to their second child, more people survive.
"It's not that I don't like you, but your body isn't fully grown yet. After a year, I'm afraid you'll have to stay in your room every day. By then, you can give birth to a child for me, and then return to Nanzhao to visit my parents with him."
Who doesn't know how to say some sweet words, especially since she is from modern society, she won over the little girl with just a few words. Princess Yongping should have left after that, but she found a corner to listen to how the two talked about this matter, so that she could give her sister some advice tomorrow.
When Princess Yongping finished listening, tears welled up in her eyes. She never expected that the Crown Prince of the Tang Dynasty would be so considerate of his sister. As a woman, she knew how dangerous it was to give birth to the first child. Even in the Tang Dynasty with highly skilled doctors, the safety of the first child could not be guaranteed.
Princess Yongping's dissatisfaction grew even stronger. Why did she meet such an inconsiderate person, while her sister met such a considerate person? What this woman fears most is comparison. Once there is comparison, some things will no longer be able to continue along the original track.
So many things happened in the palace, and the Prince of Zhennan naturally knew everything. At this moment, this guy gathered all his men together. Now the situation between the two sides has reached a balance again. As long as the eldest prince does not go to Chang'an, everything will be easy to deal with.
As for the replacement of officials, even the eldest prince did not go to Chang'an, so how could those generals follow Li Xiang to go? They could just wait until the eldest prince went to Chang'an and go together. That would take another month, and during this month, the Prince of Zhennan could do a lot of things.
The Queen Mother in the palace looked at the cart of medicinal herbs in the yard, her face was filled with anger, but the situation was stronger than the person. It was the Queen Mother who did not give Li Xiang face first, so Li Xiang could not be blamed for responding. The Queen Mother understood the etiquette of the Han people, and no matter how much she respected people, she would never send anyone to deliver medicinal herbs.
The eunuchs and palace maids around did not dare to look up. Several people had been beaten to death just now. If anyone made a noise now, the guards would probably drag them out and beat them to death. The Queen Mother had no way to vent her anger, so she could only take it out on them.
The old eunuch was reporting everything that happened today to the Queen Mother. When she heard that the eldest prince could not go to Chang'an for the time being, the Queen Mother felt relieved. If the eldest prince really followed Li Xiang, perhaps the youngest son would not be able to bear it any longer. Although the Queen Mother wanted the youngest son to take over everything, she also wanted to take over peacefully and hand everything over to the youngest son when the eldest son's body could no longer hold on.
Of course, there is nothing wrong with the Queen Mother's idea. However, when she arranged all this, her sons were still young and would not go against her ideas. Now her sons are grown up, and even her grandchildren are born. How could they still follow the route she set? Both the King and the Prince of Zhennan have their own ideas.
Just when the Queen Mother felt that she could finally breathe a sigh of relief, her two sons were both awake and thinking carefully about what had happened in the past two days. Although both of them had felt the growing influence of Li Xiang and the Tang Dynasty, neither of them was willing to face this because they knew that they had no chance of winning. So they still placed their own brothers as the main enemies, and how to kill the other party was their main issue.
