Settled in the Tang Dynasty

Chapter 537 Take a Trip to the East Palace

After receiving Changsun's post, Xue Lang left the palace and went home.When I got home, Shui Nu had already woken up, and was playing wildly all over the room. Even my father didn't have time to answer when he came back, so he lowered his head and played with himself.

Princess Pingyang was sitting on the side watching Shui Nu playing. Seeing Xue Lang come back, she was slightly surprised: "Why so fast? Does father not want you to accompany him?"

Xue Lang said embarrassedly: "Then what, when I entered the palace, the saint was drinking, and I had two drinks with him."

When he said this, he kept silent.Princess Pingyang understood as soon as she rolled her eyes, and she had a half-smile on her face: "Just two cups? Can two cups make father drunk?"

Xue Lang smirked: "I'm ashamed, I'm ashamed, I didn't mean it, but it's bayberry wine, you've drank it before, and it's not strong, who knew that a saint can drink so badly!"

Thinking about Xue Lang's so-called spirit standard, bayberry wine is indeed not strong.Princess Pingyang was speechless, she just glanced at him with a bit of annoyance, Xue Lang hurriedly said: "By the way, when I entered the palace just now, I happened to meet the Crown Princess, and gave me a post, and asked me to pass it on to you, I hope you can Go to the East Palace to discuss matters, in order to celebrate the holy birthday of the saint."

Princess Pingyang paused, sighed quietly, and said: "I'm afraid it's not a coincidence! It's not difficult for her to know about your entry into the palace."

Xue Lang understood when he saw that the Changsun family had a post, and said with a smile, "Since it's a matter of discussing the saint's birthday, why don't we go?"

Princess Pingyang nodded and said: "Yes, father's birthday is coming soon, and father will be sixty years old this year."

Said, Xiumei frowned, a little disappointed.

Xue Lang asked in surprise: "The saint is 60 years old this year?"

Princess Pingyang nodded silently.Xue Lang was dumbfounded!
According to the custom of the Chinese, every sixth and eighth day is considered a big birthday.In normal times, the emperor's 60th birthday would be regarded as an important day, but it can be regarded as a holiday, and maybe there will be an amnesty for the world.But the sage just turned [-], and encountered a human tragedy like sons killing each other... Xue Lang felt more than sympathy for the sage in his heart!

Xue Lang was silent for a while, and said: "Since it's the [-]th birthday, it's better to make arrangements. However, it's not the time to make a big deal, and it's a little difficult to think about being a princess. Jianling, you are the daughter of a saint, and you really should go to the East Palace Discuss with the Crown Princess, it's not for anything else, even if it is to make the saint happy for a while, right?"

Princess Pingyang nodded silently, and Xue Lang said again: "The crown princess handed over the post to me, instead of sending someone to send it directly, I thought about it, but also left room for fear that you will still have a grudge against Erlang, so it is better to let me pass it on directly Sent here... leaving some room for relaxation, from the side, Erlang and his wife still respect you, why don't you just run?"

Princess Pingyang groaned and nodded again, rubbing her brows.

Xue Lang said: "Jianling, listen to my persuasion, now the mother-in-law and the saint's children, only you and Erlang, you have always been close to Erlang, let alone solve the misunderstanding, the rest is up to you. After all , the children of the mother-in-law and the saint, there are only you two!"

What Xue Lang still didn't say was that Jian Jiancheng and Yuan Ji had only their daughters alive now, and the older one was already in his teens, and they would choose a son-in-law to marry in a few years.With the kindness of Erlang and Changsun's, naturally they would not treat their niece harshly in their marriage, but the nobleman is busy, it would be better if someone who can talk to him reminds him and takes care of him.What's more, Zheng's womb still has a posthumous child.

Princess Pingyang frowned, and nodded. She is not an indecisive person, but she still feels a little uncomfortable: "You are right. In this situation, I don't have a chance to be self-willed. But..."

Suddenly stopped talking.Xue Lang sighed, and continued: "But, you are actually a little scared of Erlang, aren't you?"

Princess Pingyang nodded: "Chengyi's bones are not yet cold, and it is up to others and myself. As long as I think of our water slave, I can't help being timid. If I have no children and I am alone, I can still give it a go. After becoming a mother It’s different! You often say that you know the kindness of your parents only by raising a child. Thinking of what A Niang did for me, I am now a mother, and I understand A Niang more and more. I don’t know if I can do what A Niang did. I will do my best to protect the safety of the child and you."

Princess Pingyang's expression was determined, obviously she had such thoughts in her heart.Xue Lang was moved, but there was a question that he felt should be explained.Xue Lang said: "I'm quite moved when you say that, but, has your Highness forgotten something?"

Princess Pingyang looked at him suspiciously, and Xue Lang said: "Although I am your son-in-law, I am a scum with only a force value of 5, but I also have the ability to protect my wife and children. Don't think I am so weak. I am also a man after all. OK?"

Princess Pingyang smiled sweetly and said, "I know that your lord is a great talent, but does this have anything to do with my worries?"

Fuck!Such a sweet word, actually said it in such a normal way!Xue Lang's chest was thumping, and he silently acquiesced in defeat. Her Royal Highness's style of talking about love always had a feeling of listening to thunder in a silent place. Every time she was caught off guard, it was hard to guard against.

Seeing Xue Lang's smirk, Princess Pingyang's eyes softened, she raised her hand to touch his face, and smiled back, her eyes were piercing, very touching.Xue Lang looked at it, couldn't help holding her chin, and kissed her on the lips.

Seeing this, the water slave who was playing at the side dropped the toy with a "snap", rushed over and threw herself into her mother's arms, yelling "ahhhhhhhhhhh" to pull her mother's clothes, chubby hands and feet crawled on her body, And a kiss too.

Xue Lang smiled "haha", stretched out his arms to pick up his daughter, held her up to kiss the baby's mother, and then put down the struggling Shui Nu.Shui Nu happily went to play with toys again.

Xue Lang's heart moved, and he suddenly said: "By the way, when it comes to the birthday of the saint, if the princess wants to hold a family banquet, why not let me be the chef."

Princess Pingyang was surprised: "You come?"

Xue Lang nodded, and said happily: "Yes, it's up to me! The saint treated me kindly, and betrothed his beloved daughter to me. I don't have anything to repay the saint. The saint's [-]th birthday is also a gift. I don't know what to give, but after much deliberation, I know that my cooking skills are not bad, so let me cook a meal for the saint!"

Princess Pingyang's eyes lit up, and she looked at Xue Lang with a gentle gaze like water.Xue Lang held her hand, and said calmly: "I have also experienced the pain of bereavement. In this kind of sad time, in fact, persuasion is not very effective. It is better to accompany her silently and take care of her carefully."

Xue Lang's idea is very simple, he has done everything he can in terms of state affairs, and he is powerless to change the current situation.The saint lost his real power, and lost his two sons, Jiancheng and Yuanji. As a son-in-law, all he can do is to care for the saint in life, hoping to make the saint feel comfortable in life. The rest can only be left to time up!
Xue Lang has experienced the pain of bereavement. He knows that in times of pain, other people's persuasion may not be appropriate. The only thing that can give comfort is time, and time is the best healing medicine in the world.

Princess Pingyang also experienced the pain of losing her mother, and she felt sorry for her when she heard the words, and said: "So, I will go to the East Palace for a while!"
