Chapter 72: A Bit of Sincerity
When you meet people and say three points, you can't throw away all your hearts, this is a truth that everyone understands. Pei Xingjian, who has been an official for decades, certainly would not have a heart-to-heart discussion with Xue Shao on political and military issues as soon as they met.
The demon played in the mud for a while and ran back, and Pei Xingjian explained "Lisao" to her with a smile.
Xue Shao'an's self-care fishing is not in a hurry. After all, it was the first time we met, and I couldn't expect Pei Xingjian to fully trust me in such a short period of time, let alone what kind of guarantee or reply he would make now.
In addition, Pei Xingjian's own situation does not seem to be too good. He vaguely told me that it was "difficult to lead troops", and his intention was quite profound. First, it may be that he is refusing me euphemistically, and secondly, he knows that I am now "closer" to Princess Taiping, will there be such a layer of intention, and he also wants me to pass Princess Taiping and say a few kind words for him in the Queen of Heaven?
Thinking of this, Xue Shao's heart suddenly lit up - how could I forget that Pei Xingjian had been in the Western Regions for more than ten years? At that time, he was relegated to the Western Regions to eat sand because he was discussing the abolition of the queen with the eldest grandson Wuji and Chu Suiliang.
At that time, the eldest grandson Wuji and Chu Suiliang were extremely opposed to Emperor Li Zhi, abolishing the original queen Wang and establishing the Wu clan as the new empress. It was also this major political confrontation that led to the collapse of the eldest grandson Wuji and Chu Suiliang, the two powerful ministers who controlled the government.
From then on, Emperor Li Zhi really began to govern pro-government!
In a sense, Pei Xingjian's position is consistent with that of the eldest grandson Wuji, and it is somewhat antagonistic to the second sage, and his relationship with Empress Wu should be more stiff!
This is not difficult to understand, for what Pei Xingjian has been squatting in the Western Regions for so many years, for what is his cultural and martial arts are so good but has not been able to pay homage to the prime minister, for what he led the troops to the court outside the court was extremely uneasy and called him back halfway, for what is it, after he came back from meritorious service, he could only fish and play in the mud by the Qujiang River!
Xue Shao's heart suddenly brightened! - The queen doesn't want her old rival Pei Xingjian to sit big!
Seeing Pei Xingjian happily playing with demons there, explaining "Lisao" to her like an old pedant in a private school, Xue Shao suddenly felt that this old man's heart was actually like a mirror. He may have guessed my intentions and intentions a long time ago, so he pushed the boat down the river to convey to me some information that he had been "ostracized" from the court. He was guarding against me, but he did not refuse to be close to me, just for fear of rejecting me thousands of miles away and thus offending the queen of heaven even more; Or I hope to pass on a few kind words through the line between me and Princess Taiping, so as to ease the tension between him and the diva!
In this way, Pei Xingjian also has a place to use me Xue Shao!
Is this an instant hit, or is it an embarrassment?
Xue Shao shook his head and smiled, the people in the officialdom are not fuel-efficient lamps.
If you want to have real friends in officialdom, I'm afraid it's extremely difficult.
Only interests are eternal!
"But the grass and trees are scattered, and I am afraid of the twilight of beauty!" Pei Xingjian's voice was subdued, as if he was quite intoxicated.
The demon's voice was crisp, "Old man, what is the meaning of the twilight of beauty?" ”
"Well...... Pei Xingjian was stunned for a moment, "You'll know the Tao when you grow up!" ”
"I want to know now!" The demon is stubborn.
"Now I'm telling you, you won't really understand the meaning!" Pei Xingjian smiled, "When you get older, even if no one tells you, you will understand!" ”
"You Rippy!" The demon was a little angry, "You tell me if you don't understand it, but now you're pushing left and right!" I don't give you candy! ”
"Hahaha!" Xue Shao, Pei Xingjian, and the young man all laughed together.
The laughter is hearty and presumptuous.
It's like everyone's hearts are as clear as a demon, and they have never been touched by half a speck of dust.
……
Yue Nu reluctantly opened Xue Shao's bedroom, Linlang flashed in first, and the two pairs of eyes were like high-tech scanners in the room with a fast and comprehensive scan, and then stood on both sides of the door like a door god.
"Your Highness, you can enter."
Yue Nu glanced at the twins coldly, pretending to be useless. If I were an Assassin, would you still be able to vouch for Princess Taiping's safety?
Linlang's insight is extremely keen, and instantly captured a trace of militation between the moon slave's expressions, the sisters both glared at the moon slave, holding the sword in their hands and clenching their thumbs towards the hilt of the sword, both of them were like swords about to be unsheathed!
In an instant, the atmosphere in the room suddenly became tense!
Shangguan Wan'er was extremely alert and hurriedly stopped Princess Taiping, "Your Highness, slow down!" ”
"What's wrong?" Princess Taiping was surprised.
The moon slave grinned with a sense of accomplishment, and then walked out of the room, "Your Highness, please, the slave and maid only serve outside the room." ”
Linlang each breathed a sigh of relief and retracted it, and glanced at the moon slave vigilantly and annoyedly, this maid is quite obedient, and her skills must be extraordinary!
Among the same kind, they are always able to smell the familiar smell of each other.
Shangguan Wan'er grew up in a place like Yeting, and she was able to survive successfully to this day, and her sense of danger and her ability to perceive faces and colors have long been transcendent. looked left and right at Linlang and Yue Nu, and she already roughly understood in her heart - Yue Nu was very disgusted that someone entered Xue Gongzi's room; And Linlang is even more disgusted that some people are hostile to Princess Taiping!
These three maids with martial arts are secretly more energetic! …… What if they really make a move, and the sword hurts Princess Taiping without an eye?
Shangguan Wan'er hurriedly whispered in Princess Taiping's ear: "Your Highness, Xue Gongzi is not at home, so I am afraid that it will be ......inappropriate to enter his bedroom so rashly."
"Just see, what's wrong?" Princess Taiping said disapprerovingly, "Could it be that this palace will still steal Xue Gongzi's things?" ”
Shangguan Wan'er really couldn't cry or laugh, and looked at the moon slave outside the door vigilantly, seeing that she looked calm and didn't show any obedience, she was finally a little relieved, "So, princess, please!" ”
The moon slave couldn't help but look at Shangguan Wan'er deeply, there are still capable people around Princess Taiping, this woman named Wan'er is really shrewd and clever, and her heart is as careful as hair!
Princess Taiping walked into Xue Shao's room, looked around with great curiosity, especially looked at Xue Shao's bed a few more times, and said in her heart, that is the bed he sleeps in on weekdays, I wonder if there will be a smell on his body? …… I had smelled his unique smell when we were riding a horse together, it was so special!
"Hey, what is this?" Princess Taiping saw a wooden carving on the low table in front of Xue Shao's bed, and reached out curiously to take it.
"Your Royal Highness Princess, please don't touch Childe's things!" Moon Nu said outside.
Her voice was cold, with a hint of warning and even threat.
"Presumptuous!" Linlang drew his sword out of its sheath at the same time and pointed at the moon slave.
The moon slave smiled coldly very calmly, pointing a sword at me? If it weren't for the fear of hurting the harmony between Gongzi and Princess Taiping, believe it or not, I'd have dismantled your puppet ornaments now!
Princess Taiping looked back when she heard the voice, her brows furrowed, as the saying goes, beating a dog is still bullying the master, since this moon slave is Xue Shao's personal maid, it seems that she is extremely loyal, bullying her or hurting her, isn't it to hurt Xue Shao's face?
"Linlang, put away your weapons. We're here to be guests, not to seek revenge! Princess Taiping ordered.
Linlang glanced at the moon slave coldly, and both put away their swords, "Your Highness, the Queen of Heaven once said that the royal family is the lord of the world, and there is no such thing as a 'guest'!" The world is all royal, and if Your Highness sees something, just take it! Slave and maid guarantee, no one stops! ”
Yuenu's apricot eyes suddenly chilled, there is a kind of you try?!
"You three bold slaves dare to be so presumptuous in front of the princess!" Shangguan Wan'er scolded angrily, "What a crime! ”
"The slave and maid withdrew." After all, I can't offend Princess Taiping so as not to miss the big thing of my son, Yue Nu glanced at Linlang with disdain, and walked downstairs.
Linlang clasped his fists, "Your Highness forgives your sins!" ”
"Well, you are also faithful protectors." Princess Taiping frowned, "Wan'er, this maid named Yue Nu seems to be extremely disgusted with me. Could it be that the relationship between her and Xue Shao is unusually close? ”
Shangguan Wan'er replied indifferently: "Your Highness, I don't think that servant is deliberately targeting Your Highness. Rather, anyone who might offend Xue Gongzi in the slightest was regarded as an enemy. Just like Linlang treats Her Royal Highness the Princess. ”
"She's also loyal......" Princess Taiping herself felt a little, and the words she said seemed to have a little sour taste.
Shangguan Wan'er smiled slightly, "Fortunately, that servant still knows a little bit about it, and she doesn't dare to really offend Her Royal Highness the Princess." ”
Princess Taiping waved her hand casually, obviously not having the heart to really bother with a slave. She reached out and picked up the wood carving next to the bedside to take a look, and suddenly looked surprised, "Huh?!" ”
Shangguan Wan'er took a closer look curiously, and couldn't help but widen her eyes, "Your Highness, this is clearly ......"
The corners of Princess Taiping's mouth lifted slightly, and a satisfied and warm smile was added to her face, "It's mine!" ”
Shangguan Wan'er pursed her lips and smiled, and said softly, "Your Highness, it seems that Xue Gongzi has a great love and miss for you in his heart!" The statue was lifelike at the head of his bed, and next to it was a carving knife, presumably carved by his own hand. ”
"It's just that this hair doesn't look like me." Princess Taiping looked at the small statue and blinked curiously.
Shangguan Wan'er smiled slightly, "Princess, look, Yin Yin's blood can be faintly seen on the body of this statue, presumably Xue Gongzi injured his hand when he carved the wooden oak." It's not easy to cut this one, and the delicate hair is of course the most difficult to carve, and it makes sense if there are some differences. After all, Xue Gongzi is not a real carpentry craftsman. ”
When Princess Taiping heard these words, she felt a faint pain in her heart. She opened her eyes and looked at those small blood marks, and said softly: "Wan'er, Xue Lang treats me so sincerely, I suddenly feel a little guilty and guilty. ”
"For what?" Shangguan Wan'er was quite curious.
Princess Taiping pursed her lips and frowned slightly, and gently stroked the statue, "Because I thought before that I was just wishful thinking." I didn't expect him to miss me like this......"
Shangguan Wan'er was a little stunned, what is there to blame and feel guilty about?
Princess Taiping turned her head to look at Shangguan Wan'er, and said seriously, "Wan'er, I shouldn't doubt and blame Xue Lang!" ”
"By doing this, I have failed his sincerity!".
