Settled in the Tang Dynasty

Chapter 357 Xue Lang's Consolation

"Master?!"

Princess Pingyang withdrew her indifferent expression, narrowed her eyes and muttered.However, Wu Gouzeng seemed to be filled with grief and indignation, he just beat the ground and cried loudly, and had no time to pay attention to Princess Pingyang's words.

Princess Pingyang glanced at Chuxue who was next to her, Chuxue understood immediately, turned around and whispered a few words to Princess Pingyang's guards, the guards responded, and the two stepped forward together, pulling Wu Gousheng to ask the inside story.

Princess Pingyang said to Xue Lang: "Let's go first, don't delay the brewing."

Xue Lang sighed silently, since Princess Pingyang didn't want him to intervene in this matter, he had the right to ignore it.In fact, Princess Pingyang's psychology is not difficult to understand. If you think about it with your toes, you can know that this is Chang'an, and the one who can act in the name of the head of the country in Chang'an must be the father of the little beauties in the saint's harem.However, after the sage established the country, there was only one queen, and that was the posthumous Empress Dou, who was married to the sage Li Yuanming. After that, there was no queen.

The Duke of Zhou set the rites for the world, divided them into concubines and concubines, and ranked them in order of elder and younger.This set of etiquette rules is widely accepted by the world, and it has even been emphatically elaborated in the laws issued and widely practiced in the world in the past dynasties.

Even the natal family of Concubine Wan's Wan Gui, the highest-ranking concubine in the palace, dare not live in the country of a saint.Even if promoted to imperial concubine, the concubine is still a concubine, and the only wife family of a saint is the Dou family.To put it bluntly, according to the current laws and customs, only the Dou family can talk about marriage with a saint, and the rest are not qualified.

Princess Pingyang is the daughter of Empress Dou, and the legitimate daughter of the sage Li Yuan and Empress Dou. To Princess Pingyang's pride and self-esteem, these people are just relatives of her father's concubine. Pretending to be a national relative is an insult she.

Therefore, Xue Lang didn't tell her the reason for the conflict with Yin Ashu at the gate of the city a few days ago, because he didn't want to make her angry.

Princess Pingyang is very good at nourishing qi, the more angry she is, the calmer she becomes, Yuan Ting and Yue Zhi remain calm.When Xue Lang was reading Shiji, when Tai Shigong wrote about Emperor Zhuanxu, he wrote——

Jingyuan knows things by planning and dredging.

This sentence, if applied to Princess Pingyang, is also very appropriate.His sweetheart is such a woman, let's say she is a queen, Princess Pingyang never bullies others, saying that she is too thin to describe her characteristics.Alas, as an object, Xue Lang just wants to say one thing——

I like!
Thinking in this way, Xue Lang took two quick steps, followed in the footsteps of Princess Pingyang, and went back to the small courtyard that was going to be used as a brewing site. After putting down the cherries, he was not in a hurry to start, but took Princess Pingyang's hand , staring at her: "Jiangsu!"

Princess Pingyang raised her head, didn't speak, but looked at Xue Lang with doubts in her eyes.Xue Lang said: "The sage is old. When you act, think about it more. Don't be too direct and sharp. You can be more tactful. Okay?"

Princess Pingyang's eyes sharpened suddenly, and she looked directly at Xue Lang, seemingly displeased.Xue Lang did not evade, and continued to persuade: "The one who faces the saints every day is the people in the harem. It is said that everyone's mouth makes gold, and the bones are destroyed. Even if you enter the palace every day, you can't match the people in the harem and the saints." Day to day is relative, so don't worry, don't panic, just like you used to be, this matter is ours, and we will take advantage of the situation first. Since the time is in my hands, then, punish rape and eliminate evil, learn from past and avoid future, It's just a matter of time, if the Empress Dowager is here, she probably doesn't want to lose her sense of proportion and hurt the peace of father and daughter because of such things, right?"

Princess Pingyang looked at Xue Lang silently, without saying a word.Xue Lang looked at Princess Pingyang tenderly, gave her time to think, and said in a low voice: "The more you face people close to you, the more calm you should be when encountering troubles. Don't let your emotions go on the spur of the moment and do things you regret later. Things, the human heart is a complicated thing. It will be strong when facing outsiders, but it may be strong or fragile when facing people close to you. No one can tell. So, I hope Jianling can remember that it is someone close to you , before making any decision or saying any words, think about it. Okay?"

Princess Pingyang still didn't speak, but the expression that was so calm just now changed slightly, she took two steps closer, looked up at Xue Lang, her eyes were so deep that it seemed to engrave him in the depths of her heart, after a long time, just now Breathe out lightly and long, like a long sigh: "My Youyang, why is it so..."

He didn't speak, his voice gradually fell, his eyes burst out with strong affection, and he looked at Xue Lang tenderly.Xue Lang didn't understand: "What's wrong?"

Princess Pingyang sighed again, took a step back, opened some distance between the two, raised her hand to touch his face, and said, "Under the sky, there is Xue Lang! Why?"

When Xue Lang heard it, he couldn't help laughing: "I still know what the talented Xie Daoyun said about her husband Wang Ningzhi. Fortunately, there are no outsiders in this courtyard now, otherwise future generations will read history books and see Princess An Guo Pingyang also say the same about her My son-in-law, then I will have a lot of fun!"

Princess Pingyang raised her eyebrows: "Do you also care about the name behind you?"

Xue Lang shrugged and replied: "I didn't really care about it at first, but when I think about your descendants and my grandchildren, when they go out, people will ask him where is your ancestor. As soon as the descendants report my name, when others hear it, oh, it turns out It’s the descendant of Xue Lang who said ‘Under the sky, there is Xue Lang’! If the descendants feel ashamed, it would be bad for them to come back and complain about my tablet.”

This idea is also wonderful!Princess Pingyang laughed and cursed: "Nonsense!"

Xue Lang said with a smile: "This is very possible. So, remember this sentence today and not spread it outside. We must be ancestors who are responsible for our children and grandchildren."

Princess Pingyang couldn't help laughing, she pulled Xue Lang over and sat down on the bench next to her, resting her chin on her hand, looked at Xue Lang with a smile, her eyes thoughtful: "I've always been surprised, why is there such a person as Youyang in the world?"

Xue Lang looked at himself up and down, touched his face, and asked curiously, "What's wrong with me?"

Princess Pingyang said: "Looking at Youyang's actions, he is not a person who is unsophisticated and clean-spirited. Judging from what Youyang said just now to persuade me, he can be considered transparent in the worldly human relationship. But you can see that Youyang treats me purely and warmly." , so sincere that I almost have no power to resist. Why is this so?"

It turned out to be this.Xue Lang thought for a while, and said, "Probably because of family background."

"Family origin?"

Xue Lang nodded with nostalgia on his face: "Yes! As for my mother, she is an unreliable person. Even if I am my own son, speaking of my mother, I would say that her advantages are far less than her disadvantages. It's pitiful. Speaking of it, even Xue Qing was much more reliable than her when she was ten years old. My father almost supported the house and outside the house alone. As for my mother, being able to take good care of myself was a great help. When I first entered junior high school, I was about thirteen or fourteen years old, seeing my father was so tired, I couldn’t help but ask him why he was willing to live such a life and what he liked about his mother.”

"What did your lord say?"

Xue Lang smiled with nostalgia on his face and said, "Father first beat me up for the reason that I disrespected mother."

Princess Pingyang was startled, and asked: "And then?"

Xue Lang said: "Father only told me after beating up, because that is the person he likes, the wife he chose. If you like someone, you must not only like her advantages, but also tolerate her shortcomings. If you only like the advantages, you are not willing to accept her." Weaknesses, no matter how much you love each other, you can’t survive. No one is perfect. My father said that no matter if you are a partner or a friend, you should look at others’ strengths and less on their weaknesses. As long as there is nothing irreconcilable, Things that touch the bottom line of principles, then, you might as well be more broad-minded and tolerant, so that you can live a relaxed and happy life. If you only stare at the shortcomings all day, then there is no one in the world to accompany you, and life will be so lonely. "

Princess Pingyang praised: "My lord is a respectable and wise elder!"

Speaking of his father, Xue Lang put on a look of nostalgia and admiration, nodded and said: "Yes, although my father did not have any great achievements, in my heart, he has always been a good father, a good husband, an amazing person, and is my life. example!"

Princess Pingyang nodded, with a thoughtful expression, and after a while, she said: "I will take it seriously when someone falsely claims to be the head of the country."

Xue Lang nodded happily——

Poor with his emotional intelligence, trying to persuade Princess Pingyang is an epic task for him, and the difficulty is not at 01:30.

He can only try to figure out the sage's psychology by comparing the cases of later generations who remarried at a middle-aged age, and then rack his brains to remind and comfort Princess Pingyang from his own cases.It is true that in later generations we have seen many conflicts between parents and their children after remarriage.What's more, a saint is not an ordinary parent. In addition to being a parent, he is still the Emperor of the Tang Dynasty. When dealing with such a father, of course, there are more issues to consider, and more comprehensive consideration is required. Calmness and rationality are always better than impulsiveness!
Calmness and rationality, for the first family of the Tang Dynasty, are actually a kind of preservation, the preservation of the relationship between father and daughter.

However, Xue Lang forgot that he persuaded Princess Pingyang here, but the saint and Empress Taimu are not just a child like Princess Pingyang, what should come will always come!
