Although the farmland matter is related to income and face, at the moment, in Xue Shao's opinion, it is just a disease of scabies, and it is not worth fighting.

So he called Wu Ming and asked him to go to Lantian County tomorrow to investigate privately, touch the details of the other party, and make a decision after reporting. This place in the capital is full of princes and nobles, although there is no need to be afraid of anyone, but because of a trivial matter, they set up a mortal enemy, which can only be described as not "not cost-effective". Wu Ming is experienced and safe, and Xue Shao is the most assured.

After being away from home for more than half a year, when Xue Shao slept in his bed again, the heart that had been floating seemed to have returned to his stomach.

This sleep, sleeping so peacefully. No one bothered in the house, and Xue Shaofang didn't wake up until the third pole of the sun.

As soon as he left the door, Xue Shao saw Yue Nu standing outside the door.

"Something?" Xue Shao asked.

The moon slave hurriedly replied: "The messenger from the palace has been waiting for the prince in the main hall for half an hour. ”

Xue Shao couldn't help but smile, I have never seen such a low-key palace envoy, I guess someone who came is familiar with me.

Walking to the main hall, Xue Shao's eyes couldn't help but light up.

A woman, Tingting Yuli, chasing Xianzi several times - Shangguan Wan'er!

"Shangguan girl!" Xue Shao looked her up and down, it was very good, she had already recovered the style she had when she first saw her, beautiful, capable, refined, like a fairy!

"Wanjian has seen Childe!" Shangguan Wan'er stepped forward and bowed to the ground and made a big salute!

"Why bother?" Xue Shao hurriedly stepped forward to help her. Both hands touched her arms and wrists, fragrant muscles and jade bones, lubricated like jade.

Shangguan Wan'er's body seemed to have an electric current passing around her body, her body trembled slightly, and she stood up, her face was already red.

Xue Shao naturally let go of his hand and said with a smile: "When you don't say goodbye, how is the girl?" ”

"Thanks to Gongzifu, Wan'er...... Very good! ”

Shangguan Wan'er raised her eyes slightly, looked at Xue Shao deeply, her apricot eyes were crooked, and she smiled slightly.

The four eyes are facing each other, and everything is silent.

"That'll be fine."

Xue Shao suddenly felt relieved and let out a long breath.

I still remember the scene when Shangguan Wan'er was whipped by that vicious eunuch when she was in Qiuse Academy, Xue Shao was like a stalk in his throat for a long time, and it was difficult to let go. Now seeing Shangguan Wan'er regain her freedom and regain her brilliance, Xue Shao's relief and relief in his heart can not be described in words.

"Wan'er was ordered by the Queen of Heaven to invite her son to the palace to face the saint." Shangguan Wan'er smiled and said softly, "Gongzi has made great contributions in the army, and the two saints are very relieved. This time when you enter the palace, there will be happy events coming to you. Wan'er, congratulations to the son! ”

Xue Shao smiled slightly, "There is Miss Lao." After I cleaned up a little, I entered the palace immediately. ”

"Good!"

The three words were simple, but Xue Shao felt that he had already spoken a thousand words with Shangguan Wan'er. Many words seem to be no longer expressed in words, and the other party must know it.

Xue Shao couldn't help but sigh in his heart, in his past and present lives, Shangguan Wan'er was probably the only one who could be worthy of my "confidant". This tacit understanding between me and her is unique and has never been seen before.

After washing and changing, Xue Shao rode his Weilong BMW, and Shangguan Wan'er rode forward in a car to look at the palace together.

There were many eyes and ears on the side, and the two did not make any more superfluous verbal exchanges. It's just that whenever Xue Shao can't help but look at the carriage, he can always see Shangguan Wan'er sweeping up the corner of the carriage curtain, and a pair of beautiful eyes are looking at him.

Although he couldn't see her face clearly, Xue Shaozhi said that she must be smiling.

Shangguan Wan'er is the kind of woman who can smile with her eyes. With a smile and a smile, how can it be a charming charm!

Xue Shao's heart beat inexplicably, just like the scene when he was at the gate of Zuo Fengchenwei that night, bidding farewell to Shangguan Wan as a child under the moonlit night.

A heartbeat like first love.

Xue Shao couldn't help but laugh at himself a little, as for it?

The palace arrived.

Shangguan Wan'er led Xue Shao into the palace through the Xuanwu Gate of Daming Palace. Obviously, this was a relatively "private" face, because he did not go through the Suzaku Gate directly south of the palace, but directly entered the palace where Li Zhi was recuperating, Daming Palace.

When passing by the Xuanwu Palace, Shangguan Wan'er stopped the carriage and swept the curtain to Xue Shao and said, "Son, the martial arts academy is becoming more and more prosperous, and you have made great contributions." ”

"How is it going to be prosperous?" Xue Shaozheng was curious, so he asked.

Shangguan Wan'er blinked her eyes, and said with a rather mysterious expression: "You'll know the Tao later." ”

Xue Shao smiled, "Okay, then I'll wait and see!" ”

When he arrived at the Hanbing Palace, Xue Shao saw several acquaintances of Zuo Fengchenwei from a distance-Lu Siyi, Pan Yi, Tang Zhen and a group of his followers.

When these people saw Xue Shao come back, they were really happier than seeing their own father. The boss is powerful, and his subordinates are hard, Xue Shao's Northern Expedition has made such a great contribution, and the promotion is just around the corner, how can these people not be happy?

Zhou Jitong, the general of Zuo Fengchenwei, also greeted him in person, very affectionate, and personally invited Xue Shao into the Hanbing Palace all the way, I am afraid that the prince has never enjoyed this treatment.

After Xue Shao entered, he saw that the two saints were sitting in the main hall, and Princess Taiping was actually there.

Before Xue Shao could visit the shrine when he walked over, he heard Wu Zetian laugh from a distance: "Your Majesty, your son-in-law is here!" ”

"Oh, is Xue Erlang here?" Li Zhi was half lying on the couch weakly, squinting his eyes and looking left and right in confusion.

Xue Shao was shocked: Is Li Zhi blind?!

"Minister Xue Shao, see His Majesty the Emperor, see the Queen of Heaven!" Xue Shao stepped forward to salute.

Li Zhi smiled, "Sure enough, Xue Erlang is here!" …… Quick, give me a seat! ”

The eunuch stepped forward and gave Xue Shao a couch, and Xue Shao sat down decently without looking up at Li Zhi. But without looking at him, he can already conclude that even if Li Zhi is not blind, those eyes are estimated to not be able to see much clearly!

"Erlang, Erlang?" Li Zhi is calling.

Shouting very affectionately, it's like calling your own child.

"The minister is here!"

Li Zhi smiled again, "You...... Very good, very good...... Ahem, ahem!! ”

After saying half a sentence, Li Zhi coughed violently.

"Don't worry, Your Majesty, speak slowly!" Wu Zetian hurriedly stepped forward to stroke his back, and Princess Taiping also hurriedly handed over a handkerchief.

Li Zhi waved his hand, "I, I won't say more." The queen of heaven, the marriage between Taiping and Xue Erlang, you must take care of it. ”

"Your Majesty, don't worry." Wu Zetian whispered his promise.

Li Zhi nodded, "Have you discussed with the prime ministers, how to reward him for his meritorious deeds and make him a knight?" ”

Xue Shao's heart moved slightly, this is probably the reason why Li Zhi deliberately summoned me to the Hanbing Hall to face the saint, he wanted Wu Zetian to give a promise to promote me! - Could it be that he is worried that Wu Zetian will suppress me?

"Back to Your Majesty, the military intelligence report in front has just arrived at the imperial court, and the imperial court has divisions and prime ministers, who are checking the military merits and rewarding them one by one." Wu Zetian answered decently.

Li Zhi nodded noncommittally, "Xue Erlang is my nephew and son-in-law, and he is a young talent and a young talent who is rare in the Tang Dynasty for a hundred years!" Reuse, reuse! ”

"The concubine knows what to say." Wu Zetian still answered decently.

Xue Shao didn't intervene from beginning to end, but he was faintly surprised in his heart, how could he listen to Li Zhi's tone, he seemed to be particularly uneasy about me? What's so strange about this?

"Xue Erlang?" Li Zhi is calling again.

"The minister is here!" Xue Shao responded.

"Come here, come here! Come to Your Majesty, come to me! Li Zhi waved at Xue Shao.

Xue Shao hesitated for a moment, the emperor sat on the imperial majesty, which courtiers can go up, and it is taboo. The left and right living rooms are watching from behind the screen, and they are writing it down one by one!

Xue Shao glanced at Wu Zetian, Wu Zetian's expression was gentle, and he nodded at him for permission.

Only then did Xue Shao get up, walked to Li Zhi's side, and sat down beside him, "Your Majesty, the minister is here." ”

"Okay, okay." Li Zhi squinted his eyes and looked at Xue Shao very closely, looked at it for a while, and smiled, "It's so good, it's really my good colt!" …… Taiping, come, come! ”

Princess Taiping also hurriedly stepped forward and sat down in front of Li Zhi next to Xue Shao, "Your Majesty, Erchen is here." ”

Li Zhi picked up one of Xue Shao's and Princess Taiping's hands on the left and right, and held them tightly in his hands. His hands trembled, and his eyes seemed to moisten a little. Looking at his expression, he seemed to be extremely reluctant, as if he had harvested the most precious thing in the world, and more like he had made a tragic decision, he put Princess Taiping's hand in Xue Shao's hand.

Then, Li Zhi pressed his hands and held the hands of the two of them tightly.

"Xue Shao, I ...... I'll hand over my heart's top baby meat to you! ”

As soon as the words fell, Princess Taiping suddenly threw herself into Li Zhi's arms, and cried out with a wow!

Xue Shao also felt a little shocked, and at the same time was moved.

It is said that the royal family has no family affection, but at this moment, the father-daughter relationship between Li Zhi and Princess Taiping is very deep, and it is absolutely true.

Daughters always occupy a special and complex position in a father's heart. So there is a joke that says that the daughter is the father's worst lover in his previous life.

At the same time, it is also a priceless treasure that will be treasured forever in this life!

Wu Zetian smiled on the side, his smile was quite warm.

"Good, too good!" Li Zhi gently patted Princess Taiping's back like a child, closed his eyes, and two lines of shallow cloudy tears appeared under his eyelids.

"Your Majesty, the biggest gain of the minister's Northern Expedition this time is that he has learned an oath!" Xue Shao said.

"Which one?" Li Zhi, Wu Zetian and Princess Taiping asked in unison.

"Swear to defend it!" Xue Shao's words were sonorous, "Please rest assured, Your Majesty and the Queen of Heaven, I will use my life and everything to take care of Her Royal Highness the Princess!" - This is an oath! ”

"Good boy, as it should be." Li Zhi patted Princess Taiping's back and motioned her to get up, nodded, and said with a rather relieved expression: "It seems that you have indeed grown a lot in the army." I am very relieved. Days? ”

"The concubine is here." Wu Zetian responded.

"Remember, you have to measure it. Don't avoid relatives in the internal move, don't care too much about those gossip. Li Zhi said, "If outsiders are not convinced, they can show their skills." If you can really beat Xue Erlang in terms of literary talent and martial arts, you can still be promoted and reused! ”

"Yes, the concubine knows the truth." Wu Zetian cautiously agreed.

Xue Shao's heart tightened, this is the third time that Li Zhi has emphasized it today-what does this mean?!

"I ...... Somewhat tired. Li Zhi sat down again, and let out a long sigh of relief, "Erlang, Taiping, you can go." I have a queen here to take care of it, that's all. ”

"Yes......"

Since Li Zhidu issued an expulsion order, Xue Shao and Princess Taiping had no reason to stay here anymore, so they both withdrew.

Walking out of the main hall of the Hanbing Palace, a big cloud rose in Xue Shao's heart - Li Zhi's behavior today is really quite paradoxical, could it be that he decided that Wu Zetian would not be reused for me? He emphasized it so emphatically, did he want to forcibly win this favor that promoted me, or what did it mean?

Xue Shao was not sure for a while.

The emperor's mind is really not so easy to figure out!
