Settled in the Tang Dynasty

Chapter 380 Accompanying Renzhi Palace

"Who is coming?"

The consequence of forgetting to take off the mask was that he was stopped by the guards after running for a while.

Xue Lang tore off the kerchief speechlessly. Just as he opened his mouth to speak, a gust of wind blew, and he subconsciously closed his eyes and mouth. However, his head, face, and body were covered in dust. , is really miserable.

Xue Lang looked at the guards who stopped him wanting to cry, but didn't speak.Seeing that the guard felt uncomfortable, he quickly put on a smiling face and said, "So it's Concubine Xue, the saint is waiting for you, hurry up!"

Xue Lang sighed, the veil was no longer covered, he just walked over with the dust on his face, and boarded the holy man's chariot, seeing his disheveled appearance, the holy man asked in amazement: "Why is my son-in-law in such a mess?"

Xue Lang had an expression of "Saint, are you kidding me?", and replied sternly: "The dust blown on the road just now. Please forgive me for being rude!"

Saying that, he untied the shawl on his head, took out another spare piece from his bosom, and was about to wrap it up indiscriminately, but couldn't bear to see him. The clumsy Princess Pingyang reached out to help: "Let me do it."

An Ran sat and asked Princess Pingyang to wrap his head. The saint smiled and stroked his beard and said, "Isn't Pingyang very good?"

Xue Lang nodded solemnly, and said seriously: "It's not very good, it's very good!"

What he said drew a glance from Princess Pingyang, but the sage was very satisfied with what he said, and smiled proudly while stroking his beard.

There were only three people on the carriage, Saint, Princess Pingyang, and Xue Lang. After Xue Lang cleaned up his appearance and wiped his hands, Princess Pingyang took out a pair of cards, and the three of them together—

Landlords!
Of course, the name is no longer called this, but changed. Xue Lang named it Kushou, and changed it to Dou Pai, which is very sloppy.

Shuffle!

Licensing!

The card representing the identity of the landlord was issued to the sage, and the sage said solemnly, "Call!"

Princess Pingyang looked at the cards in her hand: "Don't call!"

Xue Lang looked at his cards: "Saint, if you don't want it, then I will take the hole card!"

……

When he arrived at Renzhi Palace in the afternoon, there was already a pile of copper coins piled up in front of Xue Lang, and the smiling pilgrim and Princess Pingyang cupped his hands: "Accept, accept!"

This EQ is no one else!

Princess Pingyang looked at her father, and said to Xue Lang in a voice that seemed to be low but could actually be heard by a sage, "You won't give way to father?"

Xue Lang said: "The sage is just learning, so it's not surprising that he loses, playing fake cards, the sage can't practice skills!"

There are good reasons, and Princess Pingyang is very speechless.

But the sage had a smile in his eyes, and said: "Forget it, my Pingyang really has a son-in-law!"

"Aye!"

Princess Pingyang cried out in disbelief, with a faint smile in her eyes.

The saint laughed, and asked someone to bring Xue Lang a wooden box, and told him to put all the copper coins in it, and save it for the next time.After thanking Xue Lang with a smile, he held a wooden box full of copper coins and said with a smile: "Generally speaking, the winner will treat guests. Today's journey is exhausting. Saints, please rest at ease and make up for it when there is a chance."

"Okay! The old man will wait."

The sage went into the palace with a smile.

Palaces like Renzhi Palace, which are generally used to escape the summer heat, are generally called summer palaces. They are mostly built near mountains and rivers, surrounded by green trees and clear water, which is much cooler than Chang'an.

Xue Lang was assigned to a side hall called Youchun Garden.Next to him is the Yongning Hall where the King of Qin lived, which can be regarded as the scope of the outer palace. Princess Pingyang naturally went to live in the inner palace with the saint.

The crown prince was left in Chang'an after completion of his work, and the sage went out to escape the summer heat. Unless it was an important or urgent recital, someone would send it from Chang'an on a fast horse. Otherwise, it would be handled by the crown prince and the ministers staying in Beijing.

In this way, the saint's life will be much more leisurely.Xue Lang got up in the morning and finished exercising, so he was called over by the sage, and just after he went to salute, he heard the sage say: "Youyang is here, Lu Yuesheng, tell me, what dishes do you have today, and tell my virtuous son-in-law .”

He was actually asked to refer to the menu!
With the black line on Xue Lang's forehead, he listened to the report from the sage named Lu Yuesheng, the chief manager of Renzhi Palace: "My son-in-law, the dishes prepared in the palace kitchen today are fresh vegetables, mushrooms found in the mountains, chickens, ducks, geese, fish and sheep. , and game hunted from the mountains.”

Xue Lang asked again: "What about game?"

"Back to the son-in-law, hare, pheasant, wild boar, and a deer."

Xue Lang pondered for a while, and said to the saint: "Saint, can you use the road manager to prepare the food for the pilgrimage? After the food is fed, the son-in-law will arrange it?"

The saint nodded: "Yes!"

Seeing Lu Yuesheng heaving a sigh of relief quietly, Xue Langke felt silently sympathetic in his heart, it really wasn't easy to do anything.

After eating and drinking enough, it is natural to start sightseeing.Li Tang's royal family is a very careless royal family. Usually, family rituals are performed among family members. Comrade Li Yuan, the head of the family, is a kind person and doesn't value these etiquette. After eating, he took everyone to the polo field. It's not that the old man wants to play in person, but to watch the guards play.

The sage, the king of Qin, the king of Qi, and Princess Pingyang each have a polo team.This is a real aristocratic sport. In Datang, the value of a good horse is about the same as a modern car.

When a polo team is organized, in addition to the starting players on the field, it also needs substitutes and horses.It will cost a lot of money to get all the sets, and Xue Lang doesn't have the background to organize at present.

King Qin and King Qi were both dressed in hunting attire, and they obviously planned to end. However, this was just the beginning, and everyone had just finished eating, so it was not time for them to end.

The saint smiled and asked: "In the first match, who will fight whom?"

Qin Wang took the lead and said: "Er's team would like to play first!"

King Qi also said: "Father, the son's team is also willing!"

Princess Pingyang smiled peacefully, and said: "Father, since Erlang and Shiro are fighting for the first place, my daughter's team should step back and come out!"

The sage nodded, and the first scene was King Qin and King Qi.

Xue Lang knew nothing about the rules of polo and was confused. Seeing this, Princess Pingyang waved and called him to her side, and explained the rules of polo to him in a low voice.

After understanding the rules, Xue Lang could see the taste——

In the team of King Qin and King Qi, the horses can be seen with the naked eye.The knights on the horse are very skilled in manipulating the horses under their crotches.

Princess Pingyang probably likes playing polo quite a bit. She keeps her eyes on the field, applauds the players when they perform brilliantly, and tells Xue Lang which player is playing well in her spare time. She is very proficient in this. .

Xue Lang's heart skipped a beat when he heard it——

In fact, there were not too many entertainment activities in ancient times.Xue Lang has also participated in several banquets, and there are only a few entertainment activities to play. Polo is considered a relatively large and vigorous activity.

However, Princess Pingyang is still using the excuse of resting her body to not want to get involved in the dispute between the emperor and the king of Qin. Therefore, she mostly stays behind closed doors in the mansion and has few social activities. Although the princess is a person who can endure silence, such a The days are also boring.

So, Xue Lang asked, "Jianling, do you like playing polo and watching polo matches?"

Princess Pingyang applauded the wonderful performance just now, and said: "It's not like I like it very much, but it's okay."

Xue Lang said with a smile: "Shang Ke is fine, I have an idea."
