Chapter 12: The Princess's Mansion

When Lady Liu was chatting with Xue Lang, Princess Pingyang picked up the dagger, opened the scabbard, and took out the dagger-

The dagger was only looked at and thrown aside, but the scabbard got her attention: "The material of this scabbard is quite strange, I don't know what it is?" It seems to be the same material as the burden carried by Youyang, and it seems to be a kind of cloth? โ€

Being called Youyang was a little unable to react for a while, cough, it had been called Xue Lang for a long time, and he suddenly changed his name to a new name, but he didn't react all of a sudden.

However, Your Royal Highness the Princess, shouldn't the focus be on the saber? How to pay attention to the scabbard! Also, I actually remember the style of his backpack, this princess is also a careful and well-read type.

Feeling the concerned gaze of Her Royal Highness the Princess, Xue Lang quickly came back to his senses and replied: "This is a material called chemical fiber, which is an item made by chemical technology, and the principle is not very clear to the students because they have never been involved. โ€

Princess Pingyang looked down and seemed to have some regret: "This material is quite strong and should be used in a wide range of ways." โ€

Seeing that Xue Lang couldn't figure out how the material of the scabbard was made, Princess Pingyang turned to pay attention to the dagger, and Xue Lang had to explain the function of the saber again.

Princess Pingyang showed a different look at this time, as if she was paying attention, her fingers gently touched the blade, and praised: "The manufacturing is also exquisite, it is a good knife." In this way, Hongu laughed at it. โ€

"If the general likes it, it's fine."

Xue Lang replied simply and sincerely, and the gifts he gave could be liked by the recipients, which was naturally excellent.

Princess Pingyang seemed to be interested in the gift given by Xue Lang, so she asked her to bring the gift list, looked at what was written on the gift list, and asked, "What is this chocolate?" โ€

"It is a kind of food, extracted from a fruit called cocoa, which is excellent for replenishing physical strength. Bring it with you when you travel a long distance, and you can solve a lot of urgent needs. It's a pity that cocoa can only be planted in very few places, and I'm afraid that it won't be able to do it, and the students didn't bring the seeds back. โ€

Hearing that it was food, Princess Pingyang had no regrets, but asked someone to bring the gift box directly, opened the gift box, saw the transparent fresh-keeping bag, and asked curiously.

Xue Lang naturally informed that this is a chemical product, and there is no manufacturing process or raw materials. Princess Pingyang didn't care about herself, and carefully opened the bag: "What is chocolate?" โ€

"It's this!"

Princess Pingyang took out a piece, took a bite elegantly, and nodded slightly: "The taste is quite wonderful, there is a special strong fragrance, bitter with sweet, sweet but not greasy, bitter but not astringent, very delicious." โ€

As he spoke, he handed a piece to Lady Liu, and received the same praise from Lady Liu.

Xue Lang didn't eat it, there wasn't much left, what he was used to eating, just leave it to the two girls who had never eaten it before.

After eating the chocolate and wiping her palms with the handkerchief handed by Lady Liu, Princess Pingyang suddenly asked, "Youyang, are you willing to be a leader?" โ€

This time, you Yang reacted, but the core of the problem made Xue Lang pause-

Princess Pingyang is a princess with real power, and she holds military power, and she is a princess who has opened a mansion and can set up subordinate officials. So, this is to ask him if he is willing to be a priest in the princess's mansion?

Xue Lang hesitated. He knew that in the historical records, Princess Pingyang died next year, but history only recorded that she was buried with military salutes when she died, but there is no record of the cause of death.

China's history has always been a bit "patriarchal", and there are many outstanding women in history, but there are only a few words about them, and there are almost no detailed records.

There is no word about her personality and character, even if she is the only female emperor in the future, the Emperor of the Great Sage, the most inked on her is her appointment of cool officials, persecution of parents and other negative records, but there are few positive records.

Is it because all the people who write history are men?

"Young Sun."

Princess Pingyang called him. Xue Lang's rare old face turned red, he made the mistake of otaku thinking again, I hope Her Royal Highness the princess didn't see it.

Princess Pingyang didn't know if she saw it, but said slowly: "It's not easy to live in Chang'an." Youyang is talented, and it is not difficult to survive, but when Youyang first arrives, his foundation is weak, if he can have an official and a half-job, it is better to come than to be white. โ€

To be honest, this persuasion is quite conscientious, quite pertinent, and very to the point. Xue Lang was a little shaken when he heard this, should he go to Chang'an firmly, or stay in the princess's mansion?

Xue Lang asked himselfโ€”โ€”

He wanted to help Her Royal Highness the Princess, not for anything else, just because Her Royal Highness the Princess was his savior.

According to Licorice's description of the situation when he was saved, and the fact that his bag was not touched when he was unconscious, Xue Lang was very grateful.

Thinking about it, it is his main business to be replaced, and when he encounters a strange person of unknown origin, can he have the courage of Princess Pingyang, search for nothing, and save people directly?

Not to mention that there is a lock on the bag, the lock has always been only able to prevent the gentleman, and never to prevent the villain.

Although Xue Lang sometimes talks serious nonsense, he has never been a ruthless, unrighteous and ungrateful person. In terms of major rights and wrongs, he pursues the principle of being a consistent person inside and out, after all, people only have one face.

However, Princess Pingyang, a woman, can pull up a team of "robbers, criminals, merchants, and domestic slaves" in such an environment of male superiority and inferiority in ancient times, and can also manage this team to be famous, powerful and powerful, and the vision of knowing people and the courage of employing people will not be less at all, wisdom and wisdom are simply the standard, I have to say that Li Yuan has good genes.

is also such a person, who is not easy to fool at all. Xue Lang didn't want to fool her, and said sincerely: "If you can win the favor of the general, Youyang is naturally willing." It's just that the princess didn't hide that Youyang actually didn't know anything about arranging troops and marching to fight. โ€

This honesty seemed to please Princess Pingyang, the princess nodded, and said peacefully: "This palace knows, Youyang can rest assured, Youyang is such a talent, this palace is reluctant to put it on the battlefield, that is not the place for Youyang to play his strengths." โ€

Xue Lang was a little embarrassed, could it be that Princess Pingyang already knew about the fact that he was a weak chicken?

Princess Pingyang looked confident: "The palace wants to ask Youyang to serve as the chief secretary of the palace." โ€

Master book?!

Xue Lang had heard of the official position, but he didn't know what he was doing, and asked carefully: "I don't know what the job responsibilities of the master book are?" โ€

"In charge of money and food. In the future, the distribution and use of money and food in the government will be controlled by Youyang. In addition, since the main palace also serves as the general of the reed gate, he has soldiers, and the main secretary of the main palace is also in charge of the money and food in the army. Can the young sun be clear? โ€

It turned out to be the ancient finance secretary.

This is not difficult, Xue Lang has studied finance, management, mathematics and other subjects, and he thinks he is still competent in managing money and food. So, he promised loudly: "Don't worry, general, Youyang understands." โ€

Princess Pingyang nodded: "In this way, please leave it to Youyang in the future." โ€

Xue Lang: "Obey!" โ€

Princess Pingyang was stunned for a moment, and Lady Liu chuckled: "Master Xue, you should answer." โ€

Xue Lang was a little embarrassed. Princess Pingyang seemed to be very happy, and the expressions on her face were a little more vivid: "Youyang doesn't need to mind, this is a trivial matter, it doesn't matter." I had a good chat with Youyang today, so let's stay in the house for feeding. โ€

"Princess Xie, however, the students did not come alone, and licorice accompanied me......"

Princess Pingyang hadn't said anything yet, and Lady Liu reminded with a chuckle: "Master Xue, don't worry, someone in the mansion will arrange it." โ€

Lady Liu reminded softly that the word "main book" was a little slow and heavy. Xue Lang knew that this was a joke, he claimed to be a student, and he forgot to change his words when he joked. However, although this female official Liu is smart, from here, she feels a little tricky.

The food in the princess's mansion is better than that of the medical liao, a bowl of corn, a bowl of stewed rabbit meat with radish and dried vegetables, and a plate of roast mutton. Xue Lang's mouth is about to fade out of the bird these days, he is very happy to see the roast mutton, and when he tastes it, he actually puts pepper in his mouth, which is better than expected, and the heat is also good, and the roast is very tender.

Before moving the chopsticks, Princess Pingyang said: "This rabbit meat is still sent by Youyang to licorice every day, I heard that it was hunted by four spirit dogs?" โ€

Greyhound ...... Thinking of the appearance of Baozi's second goods, Xue Lang only had one thought-

Don't be funny!

However, Xue Lang was still very happy when he heard the buns being praised: "Princess Xie praised them, the buns are just smarter than ordinary dogs, and they are not any spirit dogs." In addition, thanks to the princess's rescue, sending a little food is nothing. โ€

"Buns?!"

Her Royal Highness the Princess's eyebrows flickered. Xue Langte honestly introduced: "Yes, my dog's names are steamed buns, steamed buns, soy milk, and fried dough sticks. โ€

"Poof!"

This is Lady Liu's spray, with a strange expression!

Her Royal Highness the princess was obviously more skilled, and she only looked at Xue Lang with a smile. Xue Lang reacted in hindsight, well, the aesthetic difference or something, it's so sad!

Lady Liu smiled and frowned: "Buns, steamed buns, and soy milk will know that they are eaten as soon as you hear them, and fritters are ......."

Xue Lang simply: "It's all food!" โ€

Lady Liu laughed, her laughter was crisp, Xue Lang was unmoved, in terms of aesthetics, he could probably sing a song-

I think I'll always be alone, so lonely for the rest of my life!

That's enough!
