At the end of the banquet, Princess Taiping did not stay long, and immediately left.

Xue Shao sent her outside the house, took her hand and boarded the car.

"Why are you in a hurry to go, it's okay to sit a little longer." Xue Shao smiled.

"I'm here, you are all restrained, and you and I are not convenient. Why stay long? Princess Taiping took Xue Shao's hand and shook it a little harder, "Xue Lang, am I particularly ignorant in your heart?" ”

"Why?" Xue Shao frowned slightly.

"You asked your sister-in-law to persuade me, and you still said no?" Princess Taiping pursed her lips and returned to the charming appearance of her little daughter.

Xue Shao said with a smile: "The eldest sister-in-law is like a mother, she is just worried that the two of us will have a conflict because of this, so she is just concerned." ”

"Your sister-in-law is knowledgeable and courteous, gentle and virtuous, and she is worthy of being a famous lady from a family name. Getting along with her is like a spring breeze. Princess Taiping said, "But I know that you all think that when I am young and a princess of the royal family, I must be arrogant and unreasonable, right?" ”

Xue Shao smiled and shook his head, "You're thinking too much." ”

"I always don't care what other people think of me." Princess Taiping made a fake face, "However, even your sister-in-law will treat me like this, but it's your fault." ”

"......" Xue Shao was stunned and nodded, "Okay, you're right this time." It's that I didn't pay attention to proportion, and I should have mentioned your virtues more in front of my brother and sister-in-law's family. ”

"Hehe, that's right!" Princess Taiping finally stopped holding it, smiled strangely, and held Xue Shao's hand tighter, the look in her beautiful eyes was worthy of the words "affectionate vein", and said quietly: "Xue Lang, I have already thought it through." Whatever you do in the future, I won't burden you or worry too much. I just want to say one thing, be careful when marching outside, I'm waiting for you obediently in Chang'an, you have to return as soon as possible! ”

Xue Shao clasped Princess Taiping's hand, "See you or leave." ”

Princess Taiping smiled and nodded, "Don't give up." ”

Xue Shao watched Princess Taiping's guard of honor go away, his eyebrows furrowed slightly, and he pondered for a long time.

Yue Nu walked up to him and said in a low voice, "I didn't expect Princess Taiping to be so open-minded and magnificent. Childe, the moon slave admires Princess Taiping a little. In a state of mind like hers, the moon slave can't do it. ”

Xue Shao smiled slightly and said, "Princess Taiping's advantages and disadvantages are all the same, but many people are only staring at her shortcomings. ”

"It's not fair." Moon Nu blurted out.

"There is no fairness in this world." Xue Shao smiled, waved his hand to signal to go home, and said as he walked: "Princess Taiping was born with too much, and she is a proud daughter of heaven who is loved by thousands of people. God is fair, a person who gains too much often means losing more, or taking on more responsibilities and difficulties. ”

The moon slave blinked as if she was a little confused, "Childe said it profoundly, the moon slave doesn't understand it too well." In the future, I will have to read a little more - fortunately, Madame will stay in the mansion for a few more months, and the moon slave will be able to read more with Madame with You'er! ”

"Oh, won't my sister-in-law go back to Jeju with my brother?" Xue Shao said, "Even I don't know the Dao, how do you know the Dao?" ”

"Fang Cai Yuenu waited for the princess and lady to dine in the side hall, and listened to what they talked about when they chatted." Yuenu said, "Princess Taiping said that Jeju is far away from the mountains and rivers, and Xue Gong has to return to Jeju because he has a public position, but half a year later, when the princess and the princess get married, they will come to Chang'an again." It takes two or three months to go in this way. Princess Taiping said that the lady was weak and tired from the journey, so it was better to stay in Chang'an and not leave. Mrs. said that Xue Gong and her were exactly like that. Princess Taiping invited Mrs. and Mrs. Pei to walk around more freely, and also invited them to the palace and Furong Garden as guests. Both ladies agreed. ”

Xue Shao smiled, although Princess Taiping was young, it was the first time she had come into contact with the "concubine relationship" to have such a stable performance, yes, she did have the grand demeanor of a housewife.

"It can be seen that Madame is very surprised, and she also likes Her Royal Highness Princess Taiping." Yuenu said.

Xue Shao nodded, "Don't say it's Madame, even I'm a little surprised." ”

"Royal people, after all, they have insight and mind, and they can't be compared to rough untouchable women like us." The moon slave sighed faintly, "Categorically, only a golden branch and jade leaf like Princess Taiping can be worthy of the prince......"

Xue Shao Ha laughed, I didn't expect that the female paper would be jealous!

Later, the Xue Shao brothers accompanied Pei Xingjian to play chess and chat about poetry or political affairs. When the Confucian doctors came together, it was nothing more than these topics. Subsequently, Mrs. Xiao personally stroked the zither to help the elegance, and her superb music skills were full of praise. Not to be outdone, Mrs. Pei personally danced a hot Hu dance, which also attracted applause.

Today's family banquet is a small gathering, the family is right and like-minded, and the two families are both speculative and happy.

Until the Pei couple said goodbye and left, there was one person who never showed up, Wu Ming.

At first, Xue Shao didn't care, but Kudi said a small thing to Xue Shao when he was leaving, that is, Wu Ming knelt down to Pei Xingjian's official uniform that day, and he didn't know what he meant.

Of course, Kudi only asked about Wu Ming's origin out of "curiosity", but Xue Shao couldn't say a reason, so she didn't say anything more. Anyway, Wu Ming definitely wouldn't have any malicious intent.

It was not easy for Xue Shao to inquire directly about other people's privacy, so he only regarded it as a trivial matter and kept it in his heart.

The demon child happily sent her stepfather and mother to the door of the mansion, and the Kudi clan wanted to take the demon to live in the mansion for a few days, but the demon didn't seem to be very adaptable and acceptable, so Pei Xingjian stopped her and said that let the demon live in the Xue Mansion, she was used to it. We'll have a lot of time to see her.

seems to be an ordinary family banquet, which makes the relationship between Xue Pei's two families a lot closer. Xue Yi said that our Xue family is probably the first family that Pei Xingjian officially made friends with after he was transferred back to Chang'an from the Western Regions.

Xue Shao didn't stay at home that night, and the martial arts academy would start on time tomorrow, Qinglongfang was not close to the palace, Xue Shao didn't want to be too busy tomorrow morning, and there were lesson plans to prepare, so he went to the palace in advance.

When I went to the Lecture Martial Arts Academy, almost everyone returned to the Lecture Martial Arts Academy in advance. The two-day holiday relaxation made everyone rejuvenate and rejuvenate.

Xue Shao called Xiao Zhizhong to his study and asked him how he was preparing. Xiao Zhizhong took out the homework he had done in the past two days and showed it to Xue Shao, and he made a lot of notes with reference to Xue Shao's original lesson plan, and there were doubts about what he didn't understand, as well as some corrections and additions. It's like a "teacher's handout" in which almost every "word" to be spoken after taking the stage is memorized. There are many original words that Xue Shao once said, such as "all the public security sit and listen to me".

Xue Shao answered what he didn't understand, and asked him if he was ready to give a lecture?

Xiao Zhizhong was a little hesitant and nervous, and repeatedly refused. Xue Shao didn't bother to convince, but directly ordered him to carry it out, and said that he might have to leave the Martial Arts Academy for a period of time in a few days, and this place will be handed over to you and Li Xianyuan.

Xiao Zhizhong was stunned for a moment, and his expression stiffened.

"What's the matter, could it be that Princess Taiping and I both look at the left eye, and you can't do this little thing?" Xue Shao used the agitation method.

"Since Xue Gongzi can be trusted, then Xiao will take it!" Xiao Zhizhong said with a serious face.

"That's right." Xue Shao smiled, "Go and get busy, by the way, help me invite a few people from Zuo Fengchenwei." ”

Later, the four imperial swords and Xue Chuyu came.

"Do you hear the wind?" Xue Shao got straight to the point.

Cheng Boxian and the others all nodded, "Turkic rebellion, war rekindled!" ”

"What are your plans?" Xue Shao asked.

"Needless to say?" Cheng Boxian said loudly, "We have already given General Xue the bottom, and we are all willing to follow you and go on the expedition with Pei Gong!" ”

Xue Chuyu didn't make a sound, it was because his attitude didn't need to ask or express his position at all.

"In that case, the four brothers have to move on their own." Xue Shao said, "We are the emperor's imperial guard, even if Pei Xingjian really takes command of the expedition, it is not good to directly order our generals." ”

"Good! No problem! All four of them readily agreed, looking very excited and full of anticipation.

Xue Shao fully believed that it would indeed be no problem to accomplish such a small matter with their background.

"Brothers, I will say two principles." Xue Shao said, "Before setting out on the expedition, there is no need to make a big publicity, everything is as low as yesterday." After the expedition, everything is up to Duke Pei's decision and in accordance with military orders! ”

The five of them solemnly bowed to Xue Shao, "Just listen to General Xue!" ”

After chatting for a while, Xue Shao invited them to the Pleasant Heart Hall for a banquet the day after tomorrow, and then they all said goodbye and left.

Xue Shao thought to himself, Cheng Boxian and others are also well-informed people, and Liu Mian and Cui Hejian also have immediate family members who are the prime ministers of the political affairs hall. Based on their attitudes and performances, it is guessed that the imperial court is probably really going to send troops. Now, I am only responsible for dealing with these five people, and there are two more important people, Wei Yuanzhong and Guo Yuanzhen, who don't need me to call them, and the Queen of Heaven or Pei Xingjian will naturally pick them up. As for Wu Yizong and Wu Yougui, who have not appeared until now, use a sentence that does not belong to the Tang Dynasty to deal with it, love who the is!

After sorting out these clues, Xue Shao breathed a sigh of relief. After making so many preparations, the most important thing is to meet Wu Zetian once. Although I have already had some tacit understanding with her, it is also necessary to go to her to really implement my expedition.

Xue Shao naturally thought of the Waiter Academy, the Imperial Study, and also thought of a person.

Shangguan Wan'er......

Every evening the other day, at this time of the evening, I was at this window and saw her.

Xue Shao walked to the window and pushed it open.

Under the peach blossom and willow trees in the Autumn Temple, the beauty is like a fairy in the painting, strolling slowly. Almost at the same time as Xue Shao pushed open the window, Shangguan Wan'er stood still and looked at Xue Shao.

Xue Shao smiled knowingly, see you or leave, this is not an agreement between me and her, an agreement.
