The hectic day has left everyone feeling exhausted. Although there was a moment of relaxation in the bath, Xue Shao and Princess Taiping still lost their usual interest, so there was no music and dance during the meal, and the two sat quietly together and had a meal very rarely.

Except for the two maids who served the banquet from the side, there was no one else.

Xue Shao has always eaten quickly, so he finished work early and said, "An Ran, I'm tired today." Rest early after eating. ”

"Don't." Princess Taiping said while elegantly eating shredded fish, "The imperial doctor once said that it is not advisable to go to bed immediately after eating, otherwise it is easy to get sick. ”

Xue Shao smiled, "Okay then, I'll accompany you outside for a walk." ”

"Well, I have something to tell you." Princess Taiping put down her chopsticks and clapped her hands, "Let's go, I'm done eating!" ”

Xue Shao blinked, what can you tell me, could it be that I stole a meal when I was just bathing and were discovered?

The Yaochi Yulin under the cover of night is quiet and wonderful. A waning moon hung high in the night sky, and many lanterns were lit in all directions, and those strange jade sculptures reflected the light in a blurry and mottled light, giving the whole mountain villa a dazzling brilliance.

From a distance, the Yaochi Yulin, which has a high foundation, is like a city that never sleeps floating in the air. If someone who doesn't know the reason sees it, they will really think that they have seen a mirage, or they have encountered the Immortal Court Palace.

"It's a nice place." Princess Taiping greeted the leisurely and cool night, and smiled relaxedly: "Xue Lang, let's come and stay often in the future!" ”

"Okay." Xue Shao nodded.

"Chang'an's mansion is almost finished. I have already asked my mother to let those craftsmen who built the mansion be busy for another month or two, and I will personally pay for them to help rebuild Yaochi Yulin. The queen mother is very generous and has already agreed. I believe that in a few days, construction will begin here. Princess Taiping said, "In the future, Yaochi Yulin will be our other courtyard for rest and play, and it will also be a place for us to make money." You say, is it good or not? ”

"Of course." Xue Shao was also relaxing and nodded with a relaxed smile.

"Then let Shangguan Wan'er be my concubine, okay?" Princess Taiping changed her words and said suddenly.

Xue Shaozheng's thoughts were a little scattered, and Dou Ran couldn't help but be stunned when he heard this, "What did you say?" ”

"You heard me clearly." Princess Taiping calmly looked at the night scene in the distance.

"......" Xue Shao's expression was really stunned for three seconds, but his heart beat involuntarily.

Let Shangguan Wan'er be the concubine...... How could she suddenly talk about it?

"What, did it get to your heart?" The corners of Princess Taiping's mouth rose slightly, revealing a playful smile.

Xue Shao looked away and looked away. He felt that no matter what kind of expression and answer he made at the moment, it seemed to be an embarrassment.

This time, Princess Taiping was not aggressive, she also looked into the distance calmly, and said leisurely: "My Fair Lady, the gentleman is good." ”

Xue Shao secretly took a deep breath, "Enron, no one stipulates that there must be a sufficient number of concubines when getting married. Now there are Xian'er and Linlang. I can talk about it later. ”

"You don't understand."

When Princess Taiping said these three words, Xue Shaodouran felt that Princess Taiping seemed to have grown ten years old overnight.

"How?" Xue Shao couldn't help but turn his head and asked curiously.

"I don't want to say it." Princess Taiping's brows furrowed slightly, and her eyes looked into the distance with deep eyes.

Only then did Xue Shao realize that perhaps Princess Taiping also had something in her heart that she couldn't imagine, and she was under pressure that she couldn't imagine.

Xue Shao walked behind her, hugged her gently, and held her hand. Princess Taiping's body leaned back slightly, leaning on Xue Shao's chest, silent.

Xue Shao didn't know what to say for a while.

Perhaps at this time, only "companionship" is the best persuasion and comfort.

Long.

"Xue Lang, if I wasn't a princess, how good it would be......" Princess Taiping said leisurely.

Xue Shao frowned slightly, "Why did you suddenly say such a thing?" ”

Princess Taiping shook her head gently, "I just want to have a perfect love with the man I love, live a simple life, and go through a peaceful life." But because I'm a princess, my love can never be perfect, and life can never be simple. My life will never be peaceful. ”

Xue Shao knew that these words were definitely not said by Princess Taiping for no reason. Although she is at a natural age of dreams, she never moans and moans like ordinary little girls.

There must be a lot of things backlogged in her heart.

"Enron, is it that the queen of heaven has put a lot of pressure on you?" Xue Shao asked softly in her ear.

Princess Taiping did not answer. But her hand shook Xue Shao a little harder.

Xue Shao knew that he had guessed correctly.

"What is it? Can't even me say that? Xue Shao asked cautiously.

"......" Princess Taiping bit her lip and looked into the distance in a daze, silent.

"It's okay if you don't say it, I won't force you." Xue Shao was not in a hurry, and said patiently and quietly, "I just need you to believe that we are already husband and wife." No matter what happens, I will bear it with you. ”

"There are some things that you can never take on with me." Princess Taiping's brows furrowed even deeper.

"What's the matter?" Xue Shao became even more curious.

Princess Taiping took a deep breath, gently broke away Xue Shao's hands that held her, turned around, raised her head slightly, and stared at Xue Shao.

"Xue Lang, can you bear to share me with other men?"

Princess Taiping's words flashed in Xue Shao's mind like a thunderbolt.

"What did you say?"

The corners of Princess Taiping's mouth rose slightly, revealing a wry smile that Xue Shao had never seen before, "I already have an answer." The expected answer - you absolutely can't stand it. ”

"Why did you say such a thing all of a sudden?" Xue Shao's heart was very surprised.

"You can't stand it. But I have to endure it. Princess Taiping said very calmly, "This is what you can never share and bear with me." ”

"......" Xue Shao was stunned and speechless.

Princess Taiping turned around and slowly paced to the side, "No woman can really put up with the man she loves and other women. Unless the woman doesn't love the man at all, she can't care. ”

Xue Shao didn't interject, just slowly followed behind her.

Princess Taiping paced slowly, and said leisurely: "In fact, many times, I want to make a big noise like an illiterate and uneducated folk splash woman, and drive away all the women around you. Just because I am the princess of the Tang Empire, I should have an extraordinary mind. So, not only do I have to pretend that I don't care, but I also have to be as generous as possible. Take today's events as an example, who can bear the two servant girls beside them to go to the bath with their husbands behind their backs? ”

Xue Shao grinned bitterly, "If you don't like it, I won't touch them again in the future." ”

"No, you misunderstood me." Princess Taiping was still very calm, and said leisurely, "Unfilial piety has three no queens, and a man who does not take concubines is unfilial, and the law also stipulates that officials above the rank of Tonggui must have another wife and have more children...... Therefore, I have been working hard to find a concubine for you, otherwise outsiders will say that I, a princess, are jealous, so that you, a concubine, will not even dare to set up a concubine. This will not only trap you in unfilial piety, but I will also be infamous as a woman who has lost her morality. But when I do this qiē, it's all against my will. The more I love you, the more I hate the women around you. Including Shangguan Wan'er, including Yuenu and Linlang, including Chen Xian'er, Xuanyunzi and even You'er! - I know that you may not have a relationship with them, but I just can't help but be jealous! Because I want all your attention, all your company, and all your ...... Love! ”

"......" Xue Shao was stunned again. Presumably these words are the heartfelt words of Princess Taiping.

"The more you care, the more jealous you become, and the more painful you become. It never occurred to me that the love I had always longed for was not entirely beautiful, it could also be lonely and lost, as well as tears and pain. Princess Taiping sighed softly and said, "But I am a princess, no matter how much I can't bear it, I must accept it with a smile, and I don't even dare to release it lightly, otherwise what awaits me may be an irreparable and unforgivable mistake." I already tried it last time...... Zhang, isn't it? ”

Xue Shao took a deep breath and nodded gently, "It's hard for you, An Ran." It's my fault......"

"It's none of your business, you don't have to admit your mistake. This world is, after all, a man's world. is as strong as a diva, and can only serve with countless concubines. Princess Taiping's expression was still calm and indifferent, and even a smile appeared on her face, "Actually, I really wanted to kill Chen Xian'er, but I finally brought her to Chang'an and stayed by my side." Although I always knew that you and Shangguan Wan'er were in love, I never said it, and took the initiative to tell her that I wanted to hire her as a concubine. ”

Xue Shao was not in a hurry to answer. It's rare that Princess Taiping will take the initiative to say some heartfelt words, so why not listen to it more?

"Do you know why I did that?" Princess Taiping turned around and looked at Xue Shao seriously.

Xue Shao frowned slightly, "Isn't it the reason you said earlier?" There are three ...... of unfilial piety Something like that. ”

"Do you think I really care about these clichés or gossip?" Princess Taiping shook her head and smiled.

Xue Shao nodded silently, if Princess Taiping would become timid because of some stereotypes and gossip, then she would not be Wu Zetian's precious daughter!

"Back then, your father was also a colt, so do you have a concubine? Or a sibling? Princess Taiping asked again.

"Nope. My father never had a concubine in his life. Xue Shao nodded, from the perspective of law and morality, a concubine can be taken as a concubine. But in fact, the princesses of the Tang Dynasty have always been strong, and it is not uncommon for princesses to raise their own faces, but there are really a few concubines. At least, it's rare to openly welcome the princess.

"Xue Shao." Princess Taiping called him by name, looking very solemn and strict.

"Huh?" Xue Shao stared at her.

"I did a qiē just because I love you and love you deeply." Princess Taiping smiled, her voice trembled slightly, and her eyes gradually moistened.

Xue Shao stepped forward and hugged her tightly in his arms, "Anran...... I'm sorry! I don't know how to make it up to you. ”

"It's easy." Princess Taiping snuggled in Xue Shao's arms, and said clearly word by word: "In this life and this life, An Ran does not expect you to love me exclusively. I beg you to ...... Never give up, love me forever! ”
