One month after Princess Yongning and Li Xian got married, they lived in peace.
The heated discussion about this marriage in Yanjing City gradually cooled down, and people were attracted by new and fresh things. It seemed that nothing big was going to happen in the court, and everything was calm.
In the Right Prime Minister's Mansion, Princess Yongning sat in the room and asked Meixiang to bring her pickled salted plums to eat. After she got pregnant, she liked sour food more and more, and asked Meixiang to prepare more on weekdays.
Fortunately, she was still free in the Right Prime Minister's Mansion. Li Zhongnan and his son were busy with government affairs during the day and were not at home. There was no one else in the mansion except Mrs. Li. Moreover, her mother-in-law was gentle and obedient to her as a daughter-in-law. After she married, Princess Yongning was also very satisfied.
On the night of the wedding, the pot of wine that Princess Yongning asked Meixiang to prepare was not used. Li Xian turned off the lights as soon as he entered the door, and he was drunk before he took a few steps. Princess Yongning dragged him to the bed with great difficulty and fell asleep herself. On the second day, there were traces of pre-prepared things on the bed. Princess Yongning only needed to wake up with sleepy eyes.
Anyway, Li Xian was drunk, and a drunk person didn't know what he had done.
After the night of the night of the night, Princess Yongning refused to sleep with Li Xian on the grounds that he had caught a cold. She couldn't use these methods every day, and she was always afraid of being exposed. If people found out that she was pregnant, she didn't know whether the child in her belly could be kept.
Princess Yongning originally thought that Li Xian would be unhappy or suspicious, but this eldest son of Li was indeed as good-tempered as rumoured, and he did not question anything. He slept in the study every night.
This made Princess Yongning even more satisfied. The baby in her belly would be almost two months old in a few days. At that time, she just needed to pretend that she was unwell and let the doctor take her pulse, and stagger the time a little bit, saying that she was conceived on the night of the wedding, and she would be able to rest assured for the time being.
Today, Li Xian went to court again early in the morning. Princess Yongning finished the last plum on the plate, stood up, and said, "It's boring to stay in the room all the time. Meixiang, accompany me for a walk."
Meixiang hurried over to help Princess Yongning walk out of the Li Mansion.
When the servants of the Li Mansion saw her, they all saluted. Princess Yongning's status in the Right Prime Minister's Mansion can be said to be very high. Not sure if King Cheng had greeted Li Zhongnan in advance.
In short, being in the Right Prime Minister's Mansion is no different from being in the Princess' Mansion. Princess Yongning didn't even have to go to her mother-in-law every morning and evening, as long as she could keep up appearances.
Princess Yongning didn't bother to please anyone. She thought that she was only temporarily in the Right Prime Minister's Mansion, and one day, she would marry into the Shen family and become a member of the Shen family. Therefore, there was no need to spend all her energy in the Li family.
"Which direction do you want to go, Your Highness?" Meixiang asked.
Princess Yongning looked around and pointed in a direction, "That way, I heard that Li Xian usually lives there. I have been sleeping in separate rooms with him these days, and he has no complaints. Could it be that he has already taken in a concubine in the other room? If that's true, she should come and see me, the wife."
