Settled in the Tang Dynasty

Chapter 249 Discussing the future together
"My servant congratulates the crown prince on the victory of the flag, and the power shakes the world. This servant presents a cup to the prince. Your Highness, please!"

As soon as the crown prince had finished drinking with Dong Sima, Xue Lang made a toast every now and then.Seeing that Xue Lang took the initiative to toast him, the prince put a smile on his face, raised his glass and said, "Okay, Youyang, please!"

The prince had another drink with Xue Lang.The prince had just finished his drink and ate some food. Ye Qing stood up with a sincere face: "The last general is not talented. I am grateful to the prince for his attention. I have never had the opportunity to thank the prince. The last general is clumsy. Today is a rare opportunity to have a banquet. A glass of water and wine, chat to show the general's gratitude to the prince, and the general will do it first as a respect! Please!"

So, the prince drank another drink with Ye Qing.

Immediately afterwards, Han Jin also got up and said respectfully: "Prince, my servant Han Jintian is the head of Princess Pingyang's mansion in An Guo. The princess is injured and cannot drink. As a subject, I should share the worries of the Lord. Please allow Han Jin to respect the prince on behalf of the princess. A glass of wine, Prince, please!"

Princess Pingyang nodded her head, and looked at the crown prince with unruly eyes for a moment, and the crown prince had to drink another cup.In addition to the previous few drinks, the prince has already drank many glasses in a row, not to mention his cheeks, even his eyes are red.

The prince immediately stopped drinking, and said in a loud voice: "I appreciate your kindness, but I still have to hurry tomorrow. I have had a good time today, so stop drinking. In the future, everyone will return to Chang'an with Pingyang, and I will drink with you again."

The prince said he would not drink anymore, what can others do?
Xue Lang's answer of "here" was really reconciled.However, it is understandable that if Li Jiancheng can become a prince, if he doesn't have this bit of self-control, then nothing will happen.

After the drinks were removed, the banquet was over after eating half full. Princess Pingyang sat until the banquet was over, and then led the servants of the princess mansion to send the prince back to the other courtyard respectfully.

As a counselor, Xue Lang naturally wanted to follow along.Follow behind Princess Pingyang and send the prince to the gate of the mansion——

"Congratulations to the prince."

The prince nodded, and with the help of his servants, he boarded the carriage and was about to get into the carriage when he suddenly remembered something, turned his head and said to Princess Pingyang in a low voice: "Sister, I heard that when Erlang came, he lived in your mansion, Why did you come here for brother, but live in another hospital? Could it be that in Amei's heart, I am different from Erlang?"

Xue Lang's heart tightened, and he looked up at Princess Pingyang's much thinner back——

Standing behind, I couldn't see Princess Pingyang's expression, but I could only hear the princess saying: "Erlang is different from the prince, the prince is the heir apparent, and the younger sister will naturally treat him more respectfully, Erlang can't compare to him.

The prince laughed and said: "Brother is just joking with my sister, why is it so solemn? My sister has been sitting for a whole day today, let's go back and rest."

"Thank you, Prince, for your compassion."

After sending off the prince, Princess Pingyang turned around, and saw Xue Lang staring at her blankly, his heart moved, the corner of his mouth slightly curved, and said in a low voice: "Youyang also go back to rest, if you have something to say after sending the prince off tomorrow, can you talk about it?"

Xue Lang nodded and said, "Your Highness, rest well. If you feel any discomfort in the wound, remember to let Dr. Su take a look."

Princess Pingyang nodded and turned back to the residence.

Xue Lang called Jiang Lin: "A Lin, let's go back too."

Jiang Lin nodded, and went back to Tingfengyuan with Xue Lang. As soon as he returned to Tingfengyuan and closed the gate, and entered the main hall, Jiang Lin's expression collapsed: "Today is really annoying!"

Xue Lang nodded with a straight face, and continued, "What's even more annoying is that I can't express my temper yet!"

The two brothers looked at each other and sighed together.

Jiang Lin asked: "Brother, after you return to Chang'an, won't you really go to work in the Prince's East Palace?"

Xue Lang asked directly, "Do you think I'm that kind of person?"

Jiang Lin thought for a while, and said, "That's right, of course eldest brother won't go, but me, what if the crown prince proposes to the saint?"

Xue Lang said: "Don't be afraid, I still have many important things at hand. Compared with these things, transferring me to the East Palace is simply an overkill and a waste of talent."

It was rare for Xue Lang to be so immodest, Jiang Lin couldn't help being amused, and after laughing, he sighed: "The prince's words and deeds today are disappointing, this place is Weize Pass, and the place for banquets is the Princess' Mansion, we wait They are all subordinates of Her Majesty the Princess, in front of us, wouldn't it be contemptuous of the Princess to look down on us?"

Xue Lang also sighed: "It's a pity I didn't get him drunk!"

Both brothers showed regretful expressions.

Jiang Lindao: "Although it's presumptuous, but there was the king of Qin before, and the performance of today's prince..."

Jiang Lin paused for a moment, then continued: "The crown prince, King Qin and the princess are all compatriots from the same mother. The king of Qin values ​​love and justice, and the prince... tsk tsk!"

Jiang Lin didn't say anything more, Xue Lang naturally understood what he had to say, the two of you looked at me and I looked at you, both felt a little uncomfortable about what happened today——

Princess Pingyang is their lord, and she has nothing to do to them, but she is considerate and meticulous. Xue Lang and Jiang Lin are officials in her mansion, and they have never been treated lightly.Both of them admired this wise and wise Princess Her Majesty very much.

But the lord they admired was treated so contemptuously by the prince today... It is impossible for a truly loyal person to turn a blind eye to this situation, and it is impossible not to feel it in his heart.

I think everyone is disappointed and angry with the prince's words and deeds!

Jiang Lin scratched his head: "Brother, we are going back to Chang'an with a princess, from now on...how should we deal with ourselves?"

Xue Lang said without even thinking about it: "Of course I follow the princess! We will do what the princess does! Ah Lin, we came from the Princess Pingyang's mansion, so we must not forget our roots."

Jiang Lindao: "Of course, my younger brother knows that you must not forget your roots. However, after returning to Chang'an, I don't know if the princess will lead the army? Like the younger brother, I don't know how to arrange it? Tell the elder brother the truth, if the princess no longer leads the army, the younger brother will not again." In the army, it's better to be a guard for the elder brother!"

After pondering for a while, Xue Lang said: "This matter really needs to be considered. Now that you have a wife, you need to make some long-term plans. You can no longer be as casual as when you were alone. Now you also have family burdens." people!"

Jiang Lin scratched his head and smiled embarrassedly.

Xue Lang thought for a while, and said: "The crown prince, King Qin, King Qi and the princess are all born to Empress Taimu, and they are the legitimate children of saints. Everyone has different styles and temperaments. Today, only our two brothers , Let me tell you, it’s not too late to make a decision.”

Jiang Lin nodded.

Xue Lang thought for a while, and said: "I can't say what each person's behavior and temperament are. Let me give you an example. If one day, someone reports to the Lord that you have the heart of disobedience. Prince, Qin Wang, Qi Wang , Princess, the four of them will have different ways of dealing with it."

"what is the difference?"

Jiang Lin looked at Xue Lang curiously.

Xue Lang said: "If it's Princess Pingyang, she will calmly and steady you, and then send someone to investigate and verify it carefully. If it is true, she will definitely not move. If you move, you will be hit. I won't let you If there is a chance to fight back and recover, no one will be wronged, and no one will be spared."
