Chapter 50: The Old Demon of Black Mountain
Hearing Xue Shao say this, Wu Zetian neither praised nor derogatory, but said lightly: "I didn't expect that you, as a descendant of the Xue family, would not be Confucian or study at home, but would study law and political theory." Xue Shao, do you really want to show your strength in your career? ”
Xue Shaoxin said nonsense, of course he thought about it! Have you always thought that my ultimate ideal was to marry a princess, become a male vase, and then wait to be broken by you?
However, if these words are spoken, it should be a premature end.
"Queen of Heaven, Weichen thinks that if you do something, you will not do it; Now that you've done it, make sure you do your best to do it well. Xue Shao replied so tactfully, and it happened to be in line with Wu Zetian's "code of conduct".
Wu Zetian was still noncommittal, and said lightly: "This palace heard that you know a little about martial arts, but is there such a thing?" ”
How did the topic cut so quickly?
"Yes, Weichen likes martial arts, and he knows a little about one and a half moves." Xue Shao replied dryly. There is no need to hide this kind of thing, whether it is the horn when she first entered the palace or the performance when she went hunting that day, it is enough to fall into Wu Zetian's ubiquitous ears and eyes, she must have known the Tao for a long time.
Wu Zetian suddenly said: "Bixue Chuyu, how is it?" ”
"Weichen embroidered his legs with fists, he is definitely not as good as Jiangmen Huzi!" Xue Shao replied, but she was a little curious, why did she suddenly mention Xue Chuyu again?
"Xue Chuyu......" Wu Zetian dragged out a little tone meaningfully, "It's like a character!" ”
didn't talk about himself, Xue Shao chose not to interject. It's still a little unclear what the old lady's intentions and attitudes are, and the way she talks today is really a bit of performance art.
"Taiping is not playful, and he actually begged the palace to take her with him to participate in your tail burning feast." Wu Zetian said suddenly.
"Oh?" It seems to be another topic, Xue Shao was quite surprised by the snack this time, that aunt and grandmother can really make a fuss!
"The roasted tail banquet has always been just a celebration of colleagues, how can there be a reason for the queen to bring the princess to the scene? Hongu had already rejected her. Just because I heard about it, this palace also casually asked, you don't have to think about it. Wu Zetian's expression seemed to be a little more relaxed, and he said, "Since you have just entered the official career, you need a steady guide." Brother Ling Xue Yi has been an official for many years, and he is the brother of your mother's compatriots, and no one is more suitable than him to preside over your roasted tail banquet. You can also listen to his advice on which guests need to be entertained. ”
"The queen of heaven is very good." Xue Shao arched his hand, and said in his heart that I finally figured it out a little. This old lady is all adult, and her every word is not nonsense. After talking about the big bend for a long time, she wanted to make clear the position of our brothers, including the Xue Chuyu brothers, and even our entire Xue family!
Wu Zetian tilted his head to look at the female official beside him, "Wan'er, draft an order, summon Jeju Assassin Shi Xue Yi, and immediately leave for Beijing to face the saint!" ”
The emperor's order is called "system", "edict", "edict" or "decree", and the queen of heaven is called the system, which means that the order is temporarily issued in the name of the emperor.
"Yes, Queen of Heaven!"
Xue Shao's eyes narrowed, Shangguan Wan'er!!
"Xue Shao, your brother is about to arrive in Beijing in the near future. Then you can start running the roast feast. Wu Zetian said, "In recent days, you might as well visit your Xue clan elders first. This is also a courtesy. ”
Xue Shao arched his hand, "Weichen will do it immediately." ”
"You can step down."
"Wechen retires!"
Exiting the imperial study, Xue Shao smiled bitterly several times. It's too brain-consuming to chat with Wu Zetian, a strange old lady, she is not revealing her sharpness and hiding needles in her cotton, digging pits and ambushes step by step, and she will be exposed in front of her if she is not careful.
Compared with intelligence, disguise, insight and real PK competition, Xue Shao was not stunned by this old lady who was nearly sixty years old. is only better than "insidious" and "political wisdom", Xue Shao feels that she is really inferior to her. Wu Zetian entered the palace at the age of fourteen, and when she was young, her various performances were already legendary enough to be "demonic", she struggled for more than forty years in the darkest, most complex and most dangerous place in the whole world, and the demons of the year have all been cultivated into old demons in Montenegro!
She miraculously survived the storms and survived the storm and got to where she is today, thanks to her brains, her wit, and her ruthlessness!
This is like raising Gu, Wu Zetian has killed countless opponents to survive to this day, and her "toxicity" is obviously outrageously strong!
Wiping a cold sweat, Xue Shao secretly said that the ancients may have too many aspects that are inferior to modern people, but in terms of "political wisdom", they really do not lose to the current people. To play with the "Black Mountain Old Demon" and not fall behind, I really have a lot of things to learn, and I have to go through a lot of tests and training!
"Xue Lang!" A crisp call came from a little farther away.
Xue Shao was thinking about it, and when he heard this, his whole body subconsciously tensed, his eyes suddenly narrowed, and he made a stress reaction to war, and looked at the bottom of the Longwei Road not far away, it was the daughter of the old demon of Montenegro, the little demon of Montenegro calling him.
Xue Shao breathed a sigh of relief and relaxed, please, can you not call it "Xue Lang"? At first glance, it sounds like my previous code name "Blood Wolf", and this code name is simply one of my "heart anchors"!
Princess Taiping, followed by a group of eunuch envoys, ran towards Longwei Road a little anxiously with her skirt, panting, "Xue Lang, what did my queen mother say when she announced you into the study?" ”
"I probably asked about the roast tail feast." Xue Shao smiled, "Black...... Why is Her Royal Highness so nervous? ”
"Black Princess?"
"Mistake!"
"Hongu ...... No nervousness! Princess Taiping pretended to blink her eyes and looked left and right easily, "It's just curiosity, I'll ask casually!" ”
As soon as Xue Shao saw her expression, he roughly understood in his heart that the Montenegrin mother and daughter must have had some "secret agreement" in private, and Princess Taiping probably knew that her mother would summon me today. What is talked about should be more important to Princess Taiping.
Xue Shao looked back and pondered for a while, it seemed that Princess Taiping was not mentioned much during today's conversation, and the old demon of Montenegro mentioned at most that she refused to go to the tail banquet of Princess Taiping.
"Xue Lang, I want to ride a horse!" Princess Taiping's eyebrows fluttered and she said with a smile.
Is the female superior? …… Am I thinking too much about it?
Xue Shao smiled and looked at Princess Taiping, "Your Royal Highness Princess, how about Weichen discuss with you?" ”
"You say!"
"Your Highness, can you not call me Xue Lang?"
The smile on Princess Taiping's face froze suddenly, "Isn't it, I'm not worthy of calling you that?" ”
Lang Jun is a very common title nowadays. But if it is a single "Lang", if it is shouted from the mouth of a young woman, it will have a sense of intimacy and admiration.
"That's not what I mean." Xue Shao saw Princess Taiping's face change, and said with a smile, "I just have a little bit, and I'm not used to hearing it." ”
"Then I'm going to call you that, you'll get used to hearing too much!" The corners of Princess Taiping's mouth twitched, "Xue Lang, Xue Lang, Xue Lang, Xue Lang Xue Lang......"
shouted more than a dozen times in a row, and she almost missed it in one breath.
"You've won, go on horseback!"
A group of people left the Xuanzheng Hall in a mighty manner and returned to the Dragon Head Pool.
Supporting the king style, Princess Taiping smiled and rode on the high-headed horse. Xue Shao turned over and rode up to protect Princess Taiping in his arms, "Princess, have you put on the clothes I gave you?" ”
"You're so annoying!" Princess Taiping's face turned red, and she said angrily: "How can you wear such clothes, I'm ashamed!" ”
"What are you afraid of wearing inside, and others can't see it?" As soon as Xue Shao heard her say this, it was over, she was busy working, she didn't like not to wear it!
"That weird dress, it's really meant to be worn in ...... Is it under the bandeau and belly pocket? Princess Taiping was a little ashamed, and her face became redder and redder, "What's the use of that, isn't it red?" ”
"If you don't wear it, forget it, why do you ask so much?" Xue Shao sighed in disappointment, "It's really in vain that my hard work has been wasted, you can give it back to me!" ”
"Don't pay it back, don't pay it back! Who says I don't wear it? Princess Taiping was a little anxious, "Mo, don't you want this palace, open it in public and show you?" ”
Xue Shao thought about it, it seemed to make sense, although the women of the Tang Dynasty were open, they couldn't be so unrestrained.
With a slight tightening of his arms, Xue Shao really felt the bra that Princess Taiping wore under the Hu Fu and the bandeau bra, and Mimi's touch seemed to be firmer.
"You—you're so annoying, you're so floating!" Princess Taiping scolded in a shy voice and slapped Xue Shao's arm.
"Drive!"
The high-headed horse galloped, and Xue Shaode made Princess Taiping realize the practical value of the "bra" - Mimi won't jump up and down when riding on a horse, how good!
A group of eunuchs ran behind like the princess when she fell into the water that day, "Xue Gongzi, you slow down, slow down!" ”
Only Linlang stood calmly and did not chase. Both of them stood in place with their swords in their hands, and even their expressions and postures were exactly the same. They seemed to be very confident in Xue Shao's skills, and they were not worried about what would happen next.
"Hee-hee, Xue Lang, I'm so happy!" Facing the wind, Princess Taiping said loudly with joy.
Isn't it just that after so many years of hiatus, I finally put on a bra, and it's worth being so happy? Xue Shao laughed in his heart.
"You will come to the palace every day to ride with me in the future, okay?" Princess Taiping said.
Xue Shao sneered, "Aren't you still scolding me for being annoying and floating?" ”
“…… I'm just talking! Princess Taiping resigned from poverty for a while.
"Do you like bras?" Xue Shao asked with a smile.
Princess Taiping snickered coquettishly, and whispered shyly: "I naturally like what you sent." ”
Xue Shao's hairs stood on end when he heard this, and his delicate dripping seemed to be a little too much, obviously something was wrong! Today, I always feel that Princess Taiping is extraordinarily "affectionate" to me, and I haven't seen each other for a few days, but not only is it estranged, but it seems that the distance is closer.
What is this for?
Could it be ...... The old demon of Montenegro has already moved his character to recruit me as a concubine, and Princess Taiping knows the inside story, so she already treats me as her husband?
His heart suddenly lit up, and Xue Shao couldn't help but pat his head, why am I so stupid! Marriage in this era is the order of parents and the words of matchmakers. My parents have long since died, of course, the eldest brother is like a father, and the marriage will be handled by my eldest brother.
The old demon of Montenegro has asked Shangguan Wan'er to issue an edict to recall my eldest brother from Jeju, so my marriage to Princess Taiping has been ...... Officially on the agenda?
