Settled in the Tang Dynasty

Chapter 246

"You two continue to eat, I'll go out for a while."

He said he wanted to eat the whole deer. However, Xue Lang had the smallest appetite among the three. He was full, and the two big eaters asked Ah Tu to bring another barbecue.

Xue Lang saw that it was still early and it was not yet time for Her Highness the Princess to rest. After thinking about it, she had to tell Her Highness the Princess about this, so he told the two of them and prepared to go out.

Jiang Lin and Su Han knew that he had something to do, so they didn't stop him, Jiang Lin said: "Brother goes by himself, younger brother and Ah Han haven't had enough yet."

Xue Lang nodded, wiped his mouth subconsciously, after thinking about it, he went to brush his teeth, and after brushing, he asked Lamei: "Do I smell strongly of alcohol? Does it smell pungent?"

Hearing this, Lamei sniffed it a little closer, and said, "Dalang is drinking fruit wine today, and it doesn't smell pungent."

Xue Lang nodded and asked Lamei to tidy up his clothes before going out.

Along the way, the guards on duty told the princess that Her Royal Highness was still in the main hall and hadn't returned to the backyard.Feeling strange, Xue Lang also went to the main hall. When he got to the door, he asked Mu Xue to inform him, and Mu Xue said: "Please consult Xue for a moment, Captain Ye is meeting with His Highness to report something."

Xue Lang nodded and waited with peace of mind. After standing for a while, Chuxue came out: "Xue Jianyi, Your Highness invites you to go in. The weather is cold, so don't catch the cold because of it."

"Thank you, Miss Chuxue."

Only then did Xue Lang step into the room——

Princess Pingyang occupies the high position, with a cashmere blanket on her knees, and a few pieces of letter paper on the table in front of her.Ye Qing was dressed in normal clothes and sat at the bottom.Xue Lang saluted first: "This subordinate has seen His Highness."

Princess Pingyang waved her hand: "Sit down, Youyang. Did you also receive the gift from the crown prince?"

As soon as she sat down, Her Royal Highness asked in an unpredictable way.

also? !

Xue Lang was taken aback for a moment, looked at Ye Qing, and immediately understood: "Is this why Captain Ye came here?"

Ye Qing said: "Exactly. After welcoming the prince today, I went to the military camp. When I returned home from the camp, my personal guard told the prince to send me some gold, silver and jewels, and left a message of friendship." letter."

Xue Lang sighed, and said with a wry smile: "In that case, I should thank the crown prince. Thanks to the crown prince, I am eating barbecue with Ah Lin and Dr. Su after returning home today. The crown prince sent me a cart of gold and silver." The utensil, it is said to be a gift. However, I have no credit for the crown prince, so I refused! Thinking about it, I thought it was inappropriate, so I came here to report to His Highness."

Princess Pingyang's face was cold, and she asked indifferently: "Is there any letter?"

Xue Lang said honestly: "Yes, but the writing is too elegant, the subordinates can't understand it, so I just returned it to the person who came!"

No one would have guessed that this was the reason!

Princess Pingyang couldn't help smiling, the feeling of coldness all over her body disappeared, and said calmly: "You two are fine, I know this matter, I have my own arrangements, don't worry about it. From now on, it will be as usual."

"Here."

Ye Qing bowed to leave, Xue Lang was about to follow, Princess Pingyang said: "Youyang, stay here."

Xue Lang sat down again, while Ye Qing saw the opportunity and left.

Princess Pingyang looked at Xue Lang with a pair of wonderful eyes, but her voice was a little weaker, and said: "Sit down, I am tired today, and my energy is not as good as before."

Xue Lang hesitated, and said embarrassedly: "Your Highness, Ah Lin came back from hunting a deer yesterday, and today I ate barbecue in the courtyard and drank some wine, for fear of being rude to Your Highness."

"It's okay. Speaking of which, do you know how many people the prince gave gifts to?"

His voice was indeed not as energetic as before, and much weaker.Seeing that she was struggling to speak, Xue Lang moved his seat silently and sat directly on the lower left side of Her Highness the Princess.Xue Lang said: "The subordinates don't know."

Princess Pingyang said: "Only you and Ye Qing."

Xue Lang still remembered that Princess Pingyang once said that the people she trusted most were him, Ye Qing, and Ma Sanbao, and they were the right-hand men of Princess Pingyang.

Ma Sanbao was born as a family boy, and he was loyal to Princess Pingyang, so the prince naturally knew that he couldn't buy him off.Only he and Ye Qing, both of them have just come under Princess Pingyang's command, and it hasn't been long, so the prince thinks there is still a possibility of bribery?So, from a side view, the prince is also quite knowledgeable?However, Xue Lang couldn't help complaining: "It's inappropriate for the prince to act like this!"

In fact, Xue Lang wanted to say that the prince would act in such a way that he simply didn't take Princess Pingyang seriously.However, Princess Pingyang and Prince Jiancheng are brothers and sisters of the same mother. Even if Xue Lang has no EQ, he knows that there is no room for him to comment on this matter.Whatever you say can be wrong!

Princess Pingyang said: "I will return to Chang'an soon. After arriving in Chang'an, the military power must be removed. With Youyang's talent and Ye Duwei's ability, staying under my command will be a waste of your talents. I am a woman. I can't give you a bright future, so the prince doesn't shy away from me, and blatantly shows his kindness to you and Ye Qing. From his point of view, this is a kindness to me and you two."

Princess Pingyang's tone was rather indifferent, as if she had gotten used to it——

Both Xue Lang and Ye Qing came from Princess Pingyang's sect, no matter what positions they hold in the future, they will always have the shadow of Princess Pingyang on them.When the prince appoints them, others will only think that he knows how to use them well, and they will not think that this talent he snatched from his sister, who made Her Royal Highness a woman!
In this ancient times, no matter how talented and talented, as long as she is a woman, she is born with a limited stage for displaying, and when she is born as a woman, she will be subject to various restrictions.So, is gender the original sin?

Xue Lang couldn't help feeling sad, and said sincerely: "I can't control others, and I don't know. For me, if I want money, there are ways to do it. There may be a lot of gold and silver utensils in a whole cart, but for me It's useless to come."

This is Xue Lang's truth. With the knowledge he has acquired and his current status, making money naturally doesn't have to be as difficult as it was when he first came here.However, the standard of living and production in this era is like this, no amount of money can buy him everything in modern times.No matter how high enjoyment can have modern convenience?At least in modern times, he doesn't have to be afraid to travel far.

Princess Pingyang said: "I know Youyang is a human being. But, is Youyang pitying me?"

Fuck!My palace has come out, so, is Her Royal Highness unhappy?
Xue Lang quickly shook his head, and said honestly: "No, why should such a strange girl as Your Highness be pitiful! I'm just a pity, Your Highness deserves the best!"

After a pause, Xue Lang couldn't help asking: "Your Highness, back then... when the saint entered Chang'an, the people in His Highness' hands were just like today..."

Xue Lang didn't say any more, and endured the unfinished words——

But just like today, being taken away with a gesture of grace?
Princess Pingyang smiled indifferently, but she looked at Xue Lang calmly and softly: "That's true. The saint is a good father with a loving father's heart. Taking away my military power at that time was an act of protection for me. I hand it over to the sage and Erlang, I am willing. However, today, the big brother has done such a thing, and the injustice in his heart is hard to dissipate. Youyang, follow me to the garden."
