"Counselor Xue, you are here ......"

The porter looked at Xue Lang standing by the carriage and asked respectfully. Xue Lang showed a bright smile and said, "It's almost the New Year, I'm here to send His Highness some homemade snacks from my house, just out of the pot, take advantage of the heat, and bother to report." ”

"Well, please wait a minute."

After a while, the porter came out and respectfully invited Xue Lang to come in-

This is the first time Xue Lang has come to the mansion of Princess Pingyang in Chang'an, and he followed the person who led the way, and walked around for a while, and he didn't know whether it was the outer courtyard or the backyard, so he directly led him to a courtyard full of flowers and plants, just because of the weather, the flowers and trees were withered and withered, and the fallen leaves looked a little cold.

"Counselor Xue, please wait a moment, and wait for the slave maid to go in and report it."

"Yes, trouble girl."

As soon as I arrived at the door, the people inside had already heard the sound, and before they could go in to report it, Twilight Xue came out of it and said with a smile on her face: "The lady knows that Xue Counselor is coming, so she ordered the slave maid to take Xue Counselor in, so there is no need to report it." ”

"There's Miss Twilight."

Follow Twilight Snow in—

This is a small hall with several large bookshelves around it, and the bookshelves are full of books, both paper and bamboo rolls. Princess Pingyang is sitting in the middle of the small hall, there is a screen behind her, the pattern is complex and gorgeous, it should be the best embroidery.

There is a carpet with elegant colors and gorgeous patterns on the feet, and incense is burning in the hall, and the smell is very elegant, not sandalwood, nor flowers, but I don't know whether it is inherited by the Queen Taimu family or the Li family. In these years, all the doors and formulas of the door valve have been passed down from generation to generation, and each family is different.

"Youyang is here, sit down."

When Xue Lang came in, Princess Pingyang should be reading at the desk, Xue Lang came in, she threw away the scroll in her hand, and looked at Xue Lang, although she didn't smile, but the corners of her eyebrows and eyes were peaceful.

Xue Lang presented the snack box he was carrying: "I have seen Your Highness." It's almost the New Year, this is the dim sum I made, please taste it Your Highness, and congratulate Your Highness on a happy and auspicious New Year. ”

Princess Pingyang's side of Dusk Xue immediately came over to take the snack box, Princess Pingyang smiled: "This is made by Youyang?" ”

Xue Lang smiled and nodded: "I did it, I deliberately put less sugar, it shouldn't be greasy to eat, please taste it, Your Highness please try it." ”

Princess Pingyang raised her eyebrows, didn't say anything, just asked the attendant to fetch hot water to clean her hands, and then opened the snack box and tasted everything very face-saving.

Xue Lang looked at -

Princess Pingyang is estimated to have been very strict since she was a child, and when she eats, she really eats without saying a word, and her movements are always dignified and elegant. However, there is no nasty expression on her face, and she doesn't feel reluctant when she eats it, so it should be to her taste.

Sure enough, after Princess Pingyang ate a round, she stopped, took the handkerchief handed over by the maid and wiped her hands, and said with a smile: "Youyang's craftsmanship has never disappointed, it is indeed delicious, thank you Youyang." ”

"Your Highness is polite, this is not worth anything."

The corners of Princess Pingyang's lips were slightly hooked, revealing a faint smile, and asked, "However, it is really surprising that Youyang can actually think of giving me a gift for the season." ”

Xue Lang was really embarrassed at this time, and decisively folded his hands and begged for mercy: "I know that I have low emotional intelligence, please don't mention it to Your Highness!" ”

Princess Pingyang laughed, her good-looking eyes narrowed slightly, and she saw that Xue Lang felt like a kitten was scratching, and when she didn't pay attention, she honestly explained to herself: "Actually, there was a subordinate who gave me a gift first, and I remembered to give a gift to His Royal Highness." ”

"You, you!"

Princess Pingyang couldn't help laughing, Xue Lang scratched his head embarrassedly, and also smirked, smiling and smiling, remembering the determination he made when he touched the white porcelain tea set before going out, he couldn't help but speak: "Your Highness, a few days ago, I was on vacation in Lishan, and Han Changshi came to the door and said that on the orders of His Highness, I would be a matchmaker." Is it really His Highness's order? ”

Princess Pingyang had a faint smile on her face, and nodded: "It is indeed I who instructed the crown princess to ask me here, Youyang is a man, and I am a woman, so I asked Han Changshi to ask Youyang." Dou Qiniang is my cousin, in recent years, because I am stationed abroad, there are fewer contacts, but in the past few years, there have been frequent contacts, and good women are also. ”

Xue Lang...... Xue Lang didn't speak, only looked at Princess Pingyang with a pair of eyes stunned, Princess Pingyang didn't move, and didn't even reprimand Xue Lang for being rude, just sat like that, seemingly safely serving a teacup and drinking water.

Xue Lang suddenly smiled, smiled bitterly, and said helplessly: "I have never understood His Highness's thoughts, and I dare not think that I can understand His Highness's thoughts, my emotional intelligence is low, and I can't guess people's hearts." Since I can't see through His Highness's thoughts, then I won't guess, let His Highness understand my thoughts, okay? ”

"Whoa!" One sound—

The teacup in Princess Pingyang's hand suddenly fell, Princess Pingyang didn't move, Chu Xue hurriedly got up and helped her wipe the tea that spilled, fortunately, the body was not wet, only the corner of the skirt was stained with a little water, and the impact was not great. Princess Pingyang's face was solemn: "Xue Lang should be cautious!" ”

Xue Lang said seriously: "I know, Ah Lin's daughter-in-law reminded me that I should be courteous, courteous, and courteous. Although I am naturalized in a foreign country, I am not a wanderer, Your Highness, I am not a disciple! ”

There is only sincerity and seriousness in the tone. Princess Pingyang turned her head and stopped looking at Xue Lang, and Xue Lang couldn't see her expression, so she heard her say in a calm tone: "I just hope that you will think twice, don't be impulsive, so as not to regret it in the future." ”

Xue Lang didn't answer, and looked at the back of the princess's head intently, almost meticulously: "Your Highness, my name is Xue Lang, I am twenty-six years old, my birthday on the Double Ninth Festival, my family members have parents and twin sisters, and I am the only one left, so it can be said that I am alone." I used to have a fiancée, but she died in an accident, and I haven't talked about family affairs since. Piano, chess, calligraphy and painting, except for not knowing anything about music and rhythm, the other three things can be handled so-so. What else......"

Princess Pingyang didn't say a word, and she couldn't see her expression.

Xue Lang didn't have any surprise in recommending himself, scratched his head, and actually asked, "Your Highness, is there anything else you want to know?" ”

"Ask me what I'm doing!"

Listening to the tone, it seemed a little embarrassed, but unfortunately I couldn't see my face. Xue Lang scratched his head and decided to ask the question in a different way: "Your Highness, do you have any requirements or standards for future colts?" Do you want to say it, let's discuss it in detail? ”

"Rude!"

directly provoked a rebuke from Princess Pingyang. Xue Lang shrunk his neck, and his tone was full of emptiness: "Aren't I afraid that His Highness wants to give me a matchmaker again!" Marriage is a major event in life, and feelings are also a very serious matter, I will give it the right to choose when the bun is in estrus, His Royal Highness will give me the media without asking, how pitiful! ”

Talking and talking, I was actually wronged!

Princess Pingyang turned around suddenly, glaring at Xue Lang with a smile on her face, Xue Lang hurriedly smirked and begged for mercy, and made a gesture again and again, looking quite cute and pleasing.

Princess Pingyang's eyes were inexplicably cold, sighed, and said, "Xue Lang, there are still a few days left in the fifth year of martial arts, and after Chinese New Year's Eve, it is only six years of martial arts, have you forgotten what I said to you?" ”

Xue Lang shook his head solemnly: "I haven't forgotten!" I remember every word Your Highness has ever said to me! ”

Princess Pingyang sighed again, and there was a sad look in her eyes that could not be concealed: "Since you remember, why do you talk nonsense about a dying person?" ”
