Settled in the Tang Dynasty

Chapter 218 Good News Comes
"Xue Lang, do you know what you're talking about?"

Princess Pingyang asked with a cold expression and a low tone.Xue Lang said calmly: "Go back to Your Highness, I know! Your Highness, please be calm and let your subordinates finish."

Princess Pingyang glanced at Xue Lang, but nodded without saying a word.

Xue Lang said: "The subordinates know how to spin blended cotton and what a loom looks like. They only need to find craftsmen and spend some time researching it, and it is easy to make actual products. Compared with silk, which can only be sold to the rich and powerful , the customer base of cotton cloth is wider, without legal restrictions, no matter the dignitaries or ordinary people, they can wear it. The profits will be very rich. There is a silk and satin shop under the name of His Highness, and there is also a weaving workshop. suitable."

"This palace is not short of money."

Princess Pingyang's tone was cold.Xue Lang looked at Princess Pingyang seriously, and said: "Your Highness, everyone is short of money in life! Even if Your Highness is a princess, there will be times when you are short of money, and even saints will be short of money. Your Highness is not short of small money, But there is a lack of big money that buys transcendence."

A gleam of light suddenly flashed across Princess Pingyang's eyes, and she immediately regained her composure, sitting upright without saying a word.

Seeing that she didn't object, Xue Lang continued to say: "The sage is old, he can't suppress the prince, and he can't suppress the king of Qin, so that the prince and the king of Qin are fighting each other. Your highness has great military achievements and has made great progress Thanks to Xian Xiangrui, and now with the credit of offering the method of using cotton, I think I can feel at ease. However, I hope His Highness can take the initiative and have more bargaining chips in his hands. The weaving method of this blended cotton is His Highness If the new saint in the future can accommodate others, His Highness can live a stable and prosperous life. If the new saint is short of money, he can donate a small amount of money in exchange for fame and status; if the new saint in the future has ideas, it is inevitable Your Highness has fallen into a situation where people are struggling, so you can offer this cotton-blend weaving method for a safe change."

In this world, the most precious is the human heart, and the ugliest is also the human heart.Princess Pingyang has made a contribution, and her life is safe.However, there are ghosts and ghosts in people's minds, and there are many methods that can be used to train a princess.Who made this ancient times, born as a woman, was born in a weak position.

Xue Lang was grateful for Princess Pingyang's kindness and did not want Her Royal Highness to be wronged, so he came up with this plan.Of course, if he is in the court, he will definitely do his best to protect Her Royal Highness, but this does not prevent Her Highness from holding more chips in her hands.

Xue Lang's impression of Her Highness Princess Pingyang is a wise, dignified, noble and elegant Princess. If possible, he hopes that Her Highness can maintain her dignity and pride for the rest of her life, without bowing to anyone or begging for mercy.Live proudly and noblely for a lifetime!

"Xue Lang!"

Princess Pingyang called Xue Lang's name almost word for word, Xue Lang cupped his hands and said, "My subordinate is here."

"Why is this... that's all, I won't ask any more. Let me think about it."

"Here!"

"Don't look up! Get out, I don't want to see you again today."

The tone was lifeless, just like the usual tone and intonation of Her Royal Highness the Princess.

Xue Lang was stunned for a moment, and then resigned as he said: "So, this subordinate is retiring. I implore Your Highness to be more considerate. If you can adopt your suggestion, your subordinate will be very happy."

"Understood, back down."

It sounds like you're chasing someone.

Xue Lang had no choice but to resign and leave, not knowing if Her Royal Highness listened to his words.Although it is too early to say this before Her Royal Highness the Princess has passed through the catastrophe of life and death.However, it doesn’t work if you don’t plan ahead.

What I said today was a bit abrupt, and I don't know if Her Royal Highness feels offended?Are you angry?
Xue Lang was a little apprehensive, but he sincerely hoped that Her Highness the Princess would accept his suggestion.Fame, credit, plus money, the future life of Her Royal Highness... Even if she is no longer in power, she will still be able to live a very happy life.In this way, Xue Lang can feel at ease after receiving her kindness.

After thinking about it this way, I feel that even if Her Royal Highness is angry, this suggestion should be mentioned.Thinking about the style of His Royal Highness, if he gets angry, he will definitely be punished on the spot.So, this kind of performance is actually not angry, right?

Xue Lang was relieved!
When the needleworkers came to learn how to sew padded jackets as scheduled the next day, the feeling of peace of mind was even greater.Xue Lang asked Lamei and Dongzhi to teach needleworkers to make one for Her Royal Highness and one for him to practice.After getting familiar with it, I will sew another one for the saint... Oh, yes, I will also make a set of cotton bedding for the saint. After all, I used cotton as an excuse to come to Weizeguan, so I should take it seriously. is.

So, Xue Lang continued to work as a cotton maker, and by the way, used the extra cotton to make two mattresses for him and Jiang Lin. There was no need for the quilt, and there was a wool quilt.

After a day of work, I was so tired that I fell asleep. I felt that I couldn’t sleep well. I kept dreaming vaguely. Who was the dreamer and what was the content of the dream, but I didn’t remember anything.He was still a little dazed until he was awakened by the bell calling for the meeting——

"Dalang, please cleanse your face!"

"Ok!"

I washed my hands with the handmade soap handed over by Lamei, and put the hot water soaked towel on my face, so I felt more awake.After washing hands and feet neatly, he drank a bowl of porridge served by Chang Jian, and hurried to the main hall to discuss matters.

Entering the main hall, many people have already come, but most of those who didn't come lived far away.He is the only one who lives so close and so late like Xue Lang.Embarrassedly arching his hands, he found his seat and sat down in a low-key manner. He raised his head to meet Her Royal Highness's calm and peaceful eyes. Her Highness said with concern: "You Yang doesn't seem to have a good rest?"

There was nothing strange at all, so the princess who let him go out the day before yesterday and forbade him to look up was actually his illusion?

Xue Lang was a little confused, but he still remembered to answer: "Your Highness, I was a little tired after working on cotton yesterday."

"So that's the case. I have some good news here. I think you can recover a little bit after hearing it."

"what news?"

Princess Pingyang calmly said: "We will talk about it after everyone is ready."

I can't say in advance that you specifically mentioned... ahem!Xue Lang complained silently, patiently waiting for others to come.After a while, people came together.Seeing that everyone has arrived, Princess Pingyang nodded to the attendant, who took out a document from the sleeve and said: "Good news!"

Hearing these two words, Xue Lang was indeed refreshed, he quickly pricked up his ears, and listened to the servant reading the paperwork——

"The King of Qin was ordered to attack the Turkic Jieli Khan, shot and wounded Jieli, captured eight thousand enemies, and won a big victory! The King of Qin ordered Chilubu to go to Beijing to announce the good news! Jieli did not dare to fight him, so he asked our court for peace!"

"it is good!"

Dong Sima praised, and the generals were beaming with joy, quite elated.Only Xue Lang, only one sentence echoed in his mind——

History has changed!
In the original history, although this battle was won, it was not a big victory, nor did Xieli be hurt.The harm He Jieli caused to the border of the Tang Dynasty was nothing to mention. In the end, he had to beg for peace and pay the Turks to buy peace.

Now not only won, but also injured Jieli, and captured [-] Turkic soldiers... It has changed!Suddenly, Xue Lang inexplicably became a little more confident in helping Her Royal Highness survive the catastrophe of life and death.

Xue Lang was in a state of shock and joy, he didn't even hear Her Royal Highness call him, until the colleague next to him touched him, he came back to his senses: "What's the matter?"

Princess Pingyang gave him a helpless look, and said patiently: "This big victory is also thanks to Youyang! What was Youyang thinking just now? Didn't even hear my words of congratulations?"
