Accompanied Princess Taiping to play in Longshou Pond for a while, Princess Taiping was a little tired from playing, and pulled Xue Shao to sit in the Wuyue Pavilion to rest, and drank Qiongxiang honeydew and ate some snacks together.

Xue Shao was thinking about some things in his mind, and he seemed a little absent-minded.

Princess Taiping saw that Xue Shao was a little sullen, and said worriedly: "Xue Lang, are you unwell, or do you have something else on your mind?" ”

"Nope." Xue Shao smiled slightly.

"Don't lie to me, I'm not stupid." Princess Taiping flicked her sleeves and asked her subordinates to retreat, and whispered, "Is it my mother who embarrass you?" ”

"Not really." Xue Shao smiled and said, "Thank you for your concern, Your Royal Highness Princess." ”

"......" Princess Taiping pursed her lips a little distressed, "Xue Lang, why do I always feel that you are wary of me, if you leave?" Am I not good enough for you to hate? ”

"Your Royal Highness, I don't." Xue Shao smiled helplessly, "It's just that, after all, the main ministers are different." ”

"Hey! ......" Princess Taiping, who has always been innocent and lively, sighed quietly like an old master, and said, "I know that this is the reason. ”

"What's wrong?"

"Xue Lang, is it my fault that I was born in the royal family?" Princess Taiping's voice revealed a sense of vicissitudes that did not match her age, and she said softly, "Actually, I am very eager to be like those ordinary women, cry when I love to cry and laugh when I want, be able to play freely in the wild, have a real good friend, be able to meet a man who likes him and he likes me, love each other purely, and then get married, have children, and live a simple life like this." ”

Xue Shao was slightly stunned, this was really not like the words of the princess Taiping he knew before.

"Doesn't that sound ridiculous?" Princess Taiping smiled faintly, "Everyone in the world says that the royal family is good, and the glory and wealth sit on the world, but I don't miss these." I just want to leave this palace as soon as possible and go and live my life. Calm, tranquil, down-to-earth, and happiness are enough for me! ”

Xue Shao was silent and listened.

"That time I went hunting with you was the happiest day of my life." Princess Taiping looked at Xue Shao with deep eyes, "Do you know what Lu Dao is for?" ”

Xue Shao shook his head, of course, it wasn't because of "liking".

Princess Taiping smiled slightly, and there was a bit of complexity in her smile.

Seeing her smile, Xue Shao subconsciously thought of the old demon of the Black Mountain sitting in the Xuanzheng Palace. Princess Taiping's smile really has her charm.

"Because, I am out of the sight of the queen mother."

Xue Shao couldn't help but be slightly surprised.

"You're surprised?"

"Admittedly."

Princess Taiping glanced around with a little vigilance, and the Linlang closest to them were standing on the stone ruffle edge that had been recast after being trampled by the horse that day.

It can be seen that even if she is a princess, there are some things she doesn't dare to say to let others hear.

"From the day I was born, I have never left my mother." Princess Taiping said as usual, "Everything I have is arranged for me by her." When I was a child, as long as I left my mother for a day, I would cry and cry without eating or drinking, and the harem would be turned upside down, because I couldn't do without her at all, and I couldn't imagine how I would live after leaving her. ”

Xue Shao nodded lightly, the relationship between Princess Taiping and her mother should still be quite deep. No matter what happened between their mother and daughter later in history, at least for the moment, Wu Zetian regarded Princess Taiping as the pearl of his palm, and Princess Taiping had a deep attachment to her mother.

They are both queens and princesses, as well as mother and daughter of blood relatives.

"But later, I gradually didn't want to stay by my mother's side, I didn't like everything to be arranged properly by her, I wanted to do something according to my own ideas, I wanted to have my own life." Princess Taiping raised her eyebrows slightly, and looked at Xue Shao helplessly and distressedly, "Xue Lang, why did I become like this?" Am I starting to hate my mother? ”

"It's not." Xue Shao smiled and said, "When people grow up, they will have their own opinions, which is normal. ”

"Is that so?" Princess Taiping blinked her big smart and dark eyes, as if thoughtful.

Xue Shao nodded affirmatively, the period of youth rebellion will be experienced by everyone.

"Xue Lang, do you have any friends?" Princess Taiping asked suddenly.

Xue Shao nodded slightly, "It seems to be." But not much. ”

"I don't have any friends." Princess Taiping's clear eyes revealed a rare trace of sadness, "I envy the people outside the palace, they can make friends everywhere." It must be amazing to have friends. ”

Xue Shao smiled, "Of course." In addition to precious family affection and love, people also need friendship in the world. ”

"But people like me don't seem to be born to deserve friendship...... Princess Taiping pursed her lips lightly, her expression seemed to be even more sad, "No matter who it is, as long as you know that I am Princess Taiping, you will look at me with a different eye." They are either in awe or in their hearts. In short, I have never met a person who can treat me not as a princess of Taiping, but as a friend. ”

Xue Shao said: "Maybe it's because you grew up in the palace and rarely came into contact with the outside world. In the palace, in addition to the royal family, it is the eunuchs and maids, and then it is not your father's concubine. Because of the difference in the status of the lords and ministers, it is very difficult for them to make friends with you. ”

"Yes! Even you say...... There is a difference between the lord and the minister! Princess Taiping sighed faintly again, "Xue Lang, now do you know why I went out to hunt with you in the past few days, why are you so happy?" ”

"I guess I know the way." Xue Shao smiled, "Leaving the palace and riding a horse in the wilderness, you will forget your identity for a while, and there will be no many restraints." ”

"I've never felt that kind of freedom. It's like a bird that has left its cage and flown into the blue sky! Princess Taiping shook her head gently, "It's a pity that those days were too short, and my horse returned to the palace." Although I also rode a horse today, I was very happy, but as long as I am in this palace, I can't leave my identity, those strict royal etiquette and palace rules. I couldn't really be relieved and happy. It's sullen to see you again...... Xue Lang, I'm actually very unhappy! ”

"I'm sorry, it's my fault." Xue Shao smiled bitterly, "I have some miscellaneous things in my heart. ”

"Can you tell me?" Princess Taiping asked seriously, and then looked at Xue Shao expectantly.

Xue Shao thought about it for a while, Princess Taiping was quite eager to have a "confidant", and she was frank enough with me. It is very likely that what she said just now was not said to her mother.

But how can I tell her these things on my mind? Do you want me to tell her that I have to do a lot of things in order not to be killed by your mother in the future, in order to change the fate and outcome of the two of us? Am I going to have to change this part of history on my own?

Seeing Princess Taiping's sincere and eager eyes, Xue Shao couldn't bear to lie to her, so he smiled bitterly.

"Xue Lang......" Princess Taiping called softly, stretched out her hands, and naturally grasped one of Xue Shao's hands, "I don't like to see your expression." You are distressed, but you refuse to speak. Is it because I'm a princess that you can't say? ”

Xue Shao shook her back a little harder, smiling silently.

"Can you not treat me as a princess of Taiping?" Princess Taiping said softly.

Xue Shao smiled, no. At least not yet.

"Don't laugh!"

Xue Shao was still smiling, after all, he didn't say it.

"I won't force you." Princess Taiping slowly let go of Xue Shao's hand, her expression slightly disappointed.

This kind of thing can't be forced in the first place. The distance between hearts, the depth of feelings between people and the degree of trust between people are like three feet of ice, not a day's cold.

Xue Shao has long understood this truth.

Now, Princess Taiping seems to have understood this truth.

"Xue Lang, in less than eight months, I will have my own mansion, and I will move to live outside the palace." Princess Taiping said suddenly.

"Oh?" Xue Shao felt a little surprised, "Eight months? ”

"The queen mother has sent someone to build a mansion for me, and the deadline is eight months to complete." Princess Taiping said calmly.

Xue Shao nodded, he heard Princess Taiping's words, it was not that Wu Zetian suddenly allowed her baby daughter to move out of Lu to live alone, but ...... The Taiping Duke is going to get married!

Princess Taiping, who is married, naturally cannot live in the palace anymore.

Princess Taiping stood up, silently walked towards Shiyong Road, and said softly, "Eight months ......" Xue Shao also stood up, looking at the unusually little princess in surprise. At this moment, she seemed to be much more mature than before.

"Eight Months ......"

Xue Shao frowned, what did she want to say?

"Can I make you like me in eight months?" Princess Taiping turned around suddenly, six steps away, her eyes seemed to be filled with a clear spring, watery, and full of aura.

Xue Shao took a deep breath, how to answer such a question? …… The implication is that Princess Taiping doesn't think I like her right now?

"The clothes you gave me are beautiful and easy to use, I like it very much." With that, Princess Taiping turned and walked forward. Linlang and a group of eunuchs went forward and hugged them, and a group of people gradually drifted away.

This time, Princess Taiping did not ask for words like "when will we meet next time".

Xue Shao finally realized that Princess Taiping was not as naïve and innocent as she looked, she was very smart, she had a lot of thoughts in her heart, she was not stupid at all, she was an adult, she could get married and have children!

She was full of expectations for me, and she told her thoughts and thoughts; I've always had reservations, like the "others" she knows, as just as a princess of the peace, not as a girl who needs friendship and love.

I seem to have broken her heart a little bit today.......
