Datang: Changle, I really don’t have any private money for my husband

Chapter 78 Taking a concubine by order?

Liu Sheng didn't know if he could come again, so he could only nod:

"I will come again when I have time, don't send it away."

He quickly stopped Qingying, turned around and left, leaving Qingying looking at Liu Sheng's back with affectionate eyes.

Coming out of Qingying, Liu Sheng went downstairs.

The hall has been dispersed, and the only guests are just drinking and chatting, and the others either left or went to have fun.

He glanced casually and found that the father and son of the Cheng family had disappeared.

In this regard, Liu Sheng was not surprised. Without his own buffer in the middle, one of Cheng Yaojin and Li Shimin would inevitably be embarrassed.

As a courtier, how could he embarrass the emperor, so Cheng Yaojin, who shared his majesty's worries, would definitely leave first, and took along the two brothers Cheng Chumo and Cheng Chubi along the way.

These two brothers are also considered pitiful. They came here without doing anything, and they were caught by their father on the spot.

This beating at home is probably unavoidable.

Liu Sheng went straight to one of the tables, where Li Shimin was sitting.

Liu Sheng wasn't surprised that Li Shimin didn't leave. Since he came here, the two of them must have something to say when they met.

As for the previous excuse, not to mention he didn't believe it, even the Cheng brothers didn't believe it, but it was still a fig leaf.

Liu Sheng saluted Li Shimin slightly, and then sat opposite him. Li Shimin and Liu Sheng looked at each other with a little strangeness in their eyes.

This kid actually came down so quickly?

However, he didn't say anything for the time being.

"I'm curious, why did you come here?" Li Shimin raised his glass, and the old eunuch poured it for him.

Now that there are no outsiders around, we can naturally talk straight to the point.

Liu Sheng stopped the old eunuch from pouring him wine, and said:

"Father, am I curious, otherwise I wouldn't have come down without doing anything."

Li Shimin glanced at him in disbelief:
"If you didn't meet me, would you still come down like this?"

Liu Sheng smiled embarrassingly, but he didn't know either.

Although three wives and four concubines are common in this era, he still feels indebted to Princess Changle.

After all, he is from a later life, and the deep-rooted thoughts of more than 20 years are still affecting him, and it will take time to fade.

Li Shimin was not angry, this was what surprised Liu Sheng the most.

"By the way, I won't accept you in vain for those two things I got from your mansion last time."

The corner of Liu Sheng's mouth twitched slightly, why, do you have anything more valuable than these two?
In other words, will you return these two things?

Even Liu Sheng himself didn't believe it, but Li Shimin would actually have the possibility of plucking the wild goose and leaving the hair behind.

Li Shimin glanced at him angrily. What kind of expression was there? He had no choice but to ignore it:

"When I left last time, Changle kept begging me to promote you, and I agreed."

Liu Sheng frowned slightly, feeling very reluctant in his heart, but there was Princess Changle's kindness in it, and Liu Sheng, who was already guilty of Princess Changle, did not refuse.

What else can I do, if he doesn't get promoted, my reputation in Chang'an County will go down?
In fact, it doesn't matter if you get promoted, if you change to another place, maybe you can disappear from the public's view and reduce your sense of existence?

There are advantages and disadvantages in this way, Liu Sheng pondered over and over again, and finally came to this conclusion.

Li Shimin squeezed the wine glass, looked at the expression on Liu Sheng's face, and was amazed:
"You didn't refuse?"

Liu Sheng shrugged, "Is it useful for me to refuse?"

"Maybe it will be useful?"

"Okay, then I refuse!" Liu Sheng didn't hesitate at all.

Li Shimin's reply was also very simple: "Refusal is invalid."

Liu Sheng rolled his eyes, this can only prove that he resisted, that's all.

"Don't worry, I don't give you many promotions, and the court minister is not something you can become at your age." Li Shimin comforted.

It's just this comforting words, Liu Sheng was uncomfortable listening to it, and Li Shimin's words were also awkward.

"Father, why don't you ask me why I don't want to be promoted?"

Li Shimin leaned over, "Can you speak?"

"Maybe I will say it." Liu Sheng looked at Li Shimin with a smile.

"Then why do you reject promotion so much? This is different from ordinary people."

"I won't tell you!" Liu Sheng counterattacked, and he will take revenge.

Li Shimin laughed and was not angry.

"How many good things are there in your home? I guess there are quite a few more?"

Li Shimin observed Liu Sheng's expression, "I just randomly found two treasures from a dilapidated study room. If I search carefully, I might find more."

Liu Sheng's expression did not change at all, "Thinking too much, father, you are lucky, treasures are not rotten street things, how can it be so easy to obtain."

"But I think you are so easy to get, don't tell me otherwise."

Li Shimin obviously didn't believe it, "I have been looking for the authentic works of Chuanguo Yuxi and Lanting Jixu for so many years, and I found it from your study at once. Doesn't this explain the problem?"

Liu Sheng raised his eyes, "Father, you think too much."

"However, father, why don't you ask me what the hidden secret is, and where did I get these treasures?"

Li Shimin didn't know whether to laugh or cry, and leaned back on the back of the chair, "You can't hold grudges like that?"

"It was just a joke."

Liu Sheng was speechless, I saw you roll your eyes just now, and wasn't you the one who was the first to cheat?

After chatting for a while, Li Shimin said seriously:
"If I'm not wrong, Liu Sheng, you and Chang Le have been married for more than two years."

"Why doesn't Changle's stomach move?"

After Li Shimin finished speaking, he turned his head to look at Liu Sheng, and there was no intention of blaming him in his tone.

Liu Sheng smiled wryly and shook his head, his face full of helplessness, "I don't know, this kind of thing still depends on God's will."

Let alone now, even in future generations, there is no way to predict when the tadpoles will move in. This kind of thing is too metaphysical.

This topic is a bit heavy.

The son-in-law and the father-in-law looked at each other silently, the two were silent for a while, and finally Li Shimin said:

"Liu Sheng, if Changle's stomach still doesn't move, I won't blame you for taking a concubine."

"After all, heirs are important, and the incense of your Liu family cannot be broken."

Li Shimin did have true feelings for Liu Sheng's family. After all, if his parents hadn't saved him, Li Shimin's grave would be several feet high now.

Liu Sheng was shocked when he heard this, he thought that Li Shimin would severely warn him not to take a concubine, after all he could not let his precious daughter suffer.

However, Li Shimin actually thought about the problem from Liu Sheng's perspective. Presumably, he said this sentence after careful consideration.

Liu Sheng nodded subconsciously, but he still couldn't believe it in his heart. Is this considered a concubine by order?
