Settled in the Tang Dynasty

Chapter 535 Confession and Introspection

"Could it be that even you misunderstood me?"

Seeing Xue Lang's dazed face, Princess Pingyang looked up at him and asked.Xue Lang scratched his head and said, "Actually, I can't really understand your thoughts. Pregnant women, it's not surprising that your thoughts are different from usual."

Princess Pingyang wondered: "There is such a saying?"

"Yes! It's been proven by scholars."

"Scholar? Where did such a ridiculous and boring scholar come to study this?"

This rant was so sharp that Xue Lang couldn't answer for a while. I really want to know the thoughts of future scholars who study obstetrics and gynecology when they hear this sentence!
Princess Pingyang put down her pen, stopped writing, walked up to Xue Lang and sat down, and said calmly: "I actually blamed Erlang a little bit earlier."

"Why? Blame him for what?"

Princess Pingyang sighed slightly, and said: "Maybe I feel sorry for my elder brother!"

This is the reason!
Xue Lang opened his arms, hugged her into his arms, thought for a while, and asked, "You mean, you are taking Erlang's anger?"

Princess Pingyang nodded, and said mockingly: "I, Li Jianling, claim to be an extraordinary woman and an extraordinary person. I never imagined that there would be a day when I would vent my anger on others."

Xue Lang once thought about what is the most painful thing for a confident person?Probably nothing more than introspection.Confidence springs from the bottom of the heart, and the external temperament comes from affirmation of oneself and trust in one's own ability.

Princess Pingyang is undoubtedly a confident person with a firm mind. If not for this, she would not be able to withstand such things as predicting life and death without crossing over.

But such Princess Pingyang is introspecting herself and torturing her own soul.Xue Lang was heartbroken, but at a loss what to do, he was powerless: "Jianlin..."

Before Xue Lang finished speaking, his mouth was covered. Princess Pingyang said: "Let me finish. In this world, only in front of you can I face myself as calmly as I am now, because I know that only you are Be all for me, because I am me and nothing else."

She had already said this, Xue Lang didn't want to say any more, he just held her hand tightly and listened to her quietly.In fact, in this world, it is very rare to have someone who can listen to your heart and pain.

Modern people search through the circle of friends, and sometimes there is no one who can talk to them intimately. They can laugh together, but they have no one to accompany them in sadness and pain.People are used to showing their hard side and hiding their weak side. They are afraid of talking about it, being laughed at for being weak and being hurt by others.

Xue Lang understands this kind of loneliness, and when he was moved, he couldn't bear to stop and interrupt her.Sometimes the listener is precious, but the person who is willing to give you the opportunity to listen to you is equally precious, which represents wholehearted trust.

Princess Pingyang said: "Although I haven't said it clearly, I have already anticipated today's situation in my heart. In the struggle for imperial power, there will be advances and no retreats. Winners and losers, ten deaths and nine lives. Eldest brother and Erlang have today, and the time will also be strong." It is also fate. Eldest brother is tolerant and benevolent, but he has no courage to make decisions. If he has no good assistant, it is difficult to achieve great things. Even if he inherits the great rule in the future, he will certainly not be able to suppress the aristocratic family, let alone there are Turks outside the pass. If he As the emperor, the Tang Dynasty must have a hard time."

Xue Lang nodded. It's not that Jiancheng lacks talent, but his talent. He can be the king of success, but he can't be the king of entrepreneurship.Princess Pingyang sees it clearly.

Princess Pingyang said with burning eyes: "Compared to him, Erlang is brave and resourceful. Whether it is knowing people, employing people, or acting for others, he does not stick to his background, he only conducts talents based on his talents, he does not stick to one style in marching and fighting, and he will manage his affairs in the future." The same can be said for politics. Whether it is the Turks or the aristocratic scholars, for Yu Erlang, as long as he is given time, he will be able to deal with it calmly. For the Tang Dynasty, which was established at the beginning of the country, Erlang is indeed the successor. There are no two candidates. However, it is a pity that Erlang is the second son, not the eldest son!"

Princess Pingyang paused, and then replied: "This is for the public. Personally speaking, I am closer to Erlang. Although the eldest brother will not treat me poorly when he ascends the throne, it will be more important to me if Erlang ascends the throne. Favorable! Although I don't help each other on the surface, in my heart, I am more inclined to Erlang."

Speaking of this, Princess Pingyang closed her eyes in pain.Xue Lang felt a pain in his heart: "Jiangsu!"

Princess Pingyang sighed: "Let me finish! After today, I don't know if I still have the courage to confess myself like this."

"Uh-huh!"

Xue Lang nodded vigorously, his eyes were red, and his heart ached for Princess Pingyang.Princess Pingyang leaned her forehead on his shoulder, and said: "Eldest brother is both a direct descendant and an elder, he inherits the great lineage, he is in line with both ritual and law, and his father also supports him. Zhongxiao, you should go along with your father and support your elder brother, but I didn’t do that. I even took the initiative to introduce you to Erlang, and let you and Erlang grow closer because of similar interests and similar ideas.”

Xue Lang recalled his friendship with Erlang. When he first met at Weizeguan, it was Princess Pingyang who introduced him. When he came to Chang'an, he had known Erlang for a long time, and Princess Pingyang never said a word.Xue Lang said: "When I got along with Erlang, besides being attracted by his personality charm and liking to associate with him, I also admired his talent. In fact, I also supported Erlang in my heart. You see, we are worthy of being a couple, we have similar ideas .”

These words made Princess Pingyang smile slightly, the smile was fleeting, and sighed: "Yes, it is human nature to seek advantages and avoid disadvantages. In fact, I also blame my father in my heart. If father has the courage to make a decision earlier, choose one Concentrate on supporting, today's situation will definitely not happen. However, the death of the elder brother and Yuan Ji is too painful for my father. Facing such a father, I really can't say words of blame."

Xue Lang felt sorry for him: "Me too, Jiancheng, Yuanji, and Erlang are all children of father-in-law and mother-in-law. Brothers killing each other between sons is not a happy thing for any father. Only a saint Coax him, he can't even utter a single word of reproach!"

Princess Pingyang sighed: "I thought about it on the boat that day, and handed in the soldier talisman when we met to show my innocence and selflessness. After all, we left our post without an order, and we have heavy soldiers in our hands. If we are misunderstood as Qing Jun’s side or Qin Wang’s teacher, in terms of the current situation, is like adding fuel to the fire. However, the moment I saw Erlang, I suddenly thought of my elder brother! Our elder brother is very different in age, and the elder brother is walking outside and doing things with his father When we were young, we were still naive, and every time the eldest brother came back from going out, he would bring back some interesting toys for us!"

Therefore, under the hurt of the scene, out of guilt, he was so indifferent to Erlang and his wife that day!What was supposed to be a good thing has different effects because of different attitudes.

"I went to Changle Gate this morning to visit my sister-in-law. I thought that my sister-in-law would be miserable, full of resentment, and live in pain. Unexpectedly, my sister-in-law was peaceful and peaceful. After careful questioning, I found out that my sister-in-law was pregnant with a big brother." My posthumous son... At that time, I realized that all of my... words and deeds were just out of guilt for my elder brother! Facing the smiling face of my sister-in-law, I almost ran away!"

It has been more than an hour, and when talking about it again, Princess Pingyang still has a look of panic on her face, one can imagine her panic and embarrassment at that time.
