Settled in the Tang Dynasty

Chapter 278 Let's introduce myself
"Xue Jianyi, you are here..."

The porter looked at Xue Lang standing beside the carriage, and asked respectfully.Xue Lang showed a bright smile, and said: "It's almost Chinese New Year, I'm here to deliver some homemade dim sum to Your Highness, it's just out of the pan, while it's still hot, please let me know."

"Here, Xue Zhiyi, please wait a moment."

After a while, the concierge came out and respectfully invited Xue Lang in——

This is Xue Lang's first visit to the mansion of Princess Chang'an of Pingyang. Following the guide, he wandered around for a while, not knowing whether it was the outer courtyard or the backyard, so he led him directly to a yard full of flowers and plants. Because of the weather, the flowers, plants and trees were all withered, and the fallen leaves looked a bit cold.

"Xue Jianyi, please wait a moment, wait for the servant to go in and report."

"Well, trouble girl."

As soon as they arrived at the door, the people inside probably heard the noise, and before they went in to report, Mu Xue came out from inside, smiling all over her face and said: "My lady knows that Xue Ziyi is here, so I ordered my servant to bring Xue Ziyi in, so there is no need to report it." gone."

"Miss Lao Muxue."

Follow Mu Xue in——

This is a small hall, with several large bookshelves around it, and the bookshelves are full of books, both paper and bamboo scrolls.Princess Pingyang is sitting in the middle of the small hall, and there is a screen behind her. The patterns are complicated and gorgeous, which should be the best embroidery.

The feet are covered with carpets with elegant colors and gorgeous patterns, and incense is burning in the hall, which smells very elegant, neither sandalwood nor floral, but I don't know whether it is inherited from the Empress Taimu's family or the Li family.These days, the methods and recipes of fragrances are passed down from generation to generation, and each family is different.

"Youyang is here, sit down."

When Xue Lang came in, Princess Pingyang was supposed to be reading a book at her desk. When Xue Lang came in, she put away the scroll in her hand and looked at Xue Lang. Although she didn't smile, her brows and eyes were peaceful.

Xue Lang presented the dim sum box he was carrying: "I have met Your Highness. It is almost Chinese New Year, here is the dim sum I made, please taste it, and wish Your Highness a happy and auspicious Chinese New Year."

Mu Xue who was beside Princess Pingyang immediately came over to take the snack box, Princess Pingyang smiled and said, "You Yang made this?"

Xue Lang nodded with a smile: "I made it, I put less sugar on purpose, it shouldn't taste greasy, please taste it, Your Highness."

Princess Pingyang raised her brows, she didn't say anything, she just asked her attendant to get some hot water to wash her hands, then opened the snack box, and tasted everything that was very face-saving.

Xue Lang eagerly looked at——

Princess Pingyang probably had a very strict upbringing since she was a child. When eating, she really couldn't speak, and her movements were always dignified and elegant.However, seeing that she didn't have any disgusting expression on her face, and she didn't feel reluctant when eating, it should be to her taste.

Sure enough, after a round of eating, Princess Pingyang just stopped, took the towel handed over by the maid, wiped her hands, and said with a smile: "Youyang's craftsmanship has never disappointed, it is indeed delicious, thank you, Youyang."

"Your Highness is being polite, this is not worth anything."

The corners of Princess Pingyang's lips curled up slightly, showing a faint smile, and asked: "However, it's really surprising that Youyang can remember to give me a gift."

Now Xue Lang was really embarrassed, he folded his hands decisively and begged for mercy: "I know that I have low EQ, please don't mention it, Your Highness!"

Princess Pingyang laughed, narrowing her pretty eyes slightly, making Xue Lang feel as if a kitten was scratching his heart, and when he didn't pay attention, he honestly confessed: "Actually, a subordinate gave me a gift first, and I Only then did I remember that I was going to give His Royal Highness a gift."

"You ah you!"

Princess Pingyang couldn't help laughing, Xue Lang scratched his head in embarrassment, and also smirked, smiling, remembering the determination he made when he touched the white porcelain tea set before going out, he couldn't help but say: "Your Highness, a few days ago, I Lishan was on vacation, and Han Changshi came to the door, saying that he was ordered by His Highness to be a matchmaker for me. Is it really His Highness's order?"

Princess Pingyang withdrew a faint smile on her face, nodded and said: "It is indeed my instruction. The princess asked me, Youyang is a man, and I am a woman, so Han Changshi asked Youyang. Dou Qiniang is My cousin, in recent years because I am stationed abroad, I have seen less, but in the past few years, I have seen a lot, she is a good girl."

Xue Lang... Xue Lang didn't speak, just stared blankly at Princess Pingyang with a pair of eyes, Princess Pingyang didn't move, she didn't even speak out to reprimand Xue Lang for being rude, she just sat there, seemingly peacefully holding a cup of tea water.

Xue Lang laughed suddenly, with a wry smile, and said helplessly: "I have never understood His Highness's mind, and I dare not dream of understanding His Highness's mind. I have low EQ, and guessing is not popular. Since I can't understand His Highness's mind, then I won't guess, let His Highness understand my thoughts, okay?"

"Wow!" A sound——

The teacup in Princess Pingyang's hand suddenly fell, and Princess Pingyang didn't move. Chuxue quickly got up and helped her wipe off the spilled tea. Not big.Princess Pingyang was solemn: "Xue Lang should be careful!"

Xue Lang said seriously: "I know, A Lin's daughter-in-law reminded me to be polite, keep the etiquette, and follow the etiquette. Although I am naturalized in a foreign country, I am not an idler. Your Highness, I am not lecher!"

There is only sincerity and seriousness in the tone.Princess Pingyang turned her head away from looking at Xue Lang, and Xue Lang couldn't see her expression, so she heard her calmly say: "I just hope you think twice before acting, don't be impulsive, lest you regret it in the future."

Xue Lang didn't answer, but concentrated on looking at the back of Her Royal Highness's head, earnestly almost meticulous: "His Royal Highness, my name is Xue Lang, I am 26 years old, and I am born on the Double Ninth Festival. My family members include parents and twin sisters, and I am the only one left now." , can be said to be a lonely family. I had a fiancée before, but she passed away due to an accident, and there was no marriage discussion after that. Except for the piano, chess, calligraphy and painting, I can do the other three things so-so. What else... "

Princess Pingyang didn't say a word, and couldn't see her expression.

Xue Lang didn't have any surprises about self-recommendation, scratched his head, and asked, "Is there anything else you want to know, Your Highness?"

"Ask me why!"

Hearing his tone, he seemed a little embarrassed, but unfortunately he couldn't see his face.Xue Lang scratched his head, and decided to ask the question in a different way: "Then, Your Highness, do you have any requirements or standards for the future consort? Do you want to say it, so we can discuss it in detail?"

"rude!"

It directly provoked a reprimand from Princess Pingyang.Xue Lang shrunk his neck, and said in a guilty tone, "Aren't I afraid that His Highness wants to protect me again? Marriage is a major event in life, and love is also a very serious matter. I will give Baozi the right to choose even if he is in heat. , His Highness gave me a mediator without even asking me, how pitiful!"

As he talked, he actually felt wronged!

Princess Pingyang turned around abruptly, and stared at Xue Lang with a smile that was not a smile. Xue Lang hurriedly smirked and begged for mercy, bowing again and again, his appearance was quite cute and pleasing.

The coldness in Princess Pingyang's eyes disappeared inexplicably, she sighed, and said: "Xue Lang, there are still a few days left in the fifth year of Wude, after the New Year's Eve, it will be the sixth year of Wude, have you forgotten what I said to you?"

Xue Lang shook his head solemnly: "I haven't forgotten! I remember every word His Highness said to me!"

Princess Pingyang sighed again, her eyes were filled with undisguised sadness: "Since I remember, why are you talking nonsense to a dying person?"
