Chapter 469: Retreat as Advance

There is a lot of excitement outside, Princess Pingyang's house is still quiet, Princess Pingyang's work and rest is very regular, because she is pregnant, archery, horseback riding have stopped, and only maintain a walk every morning and evening, because Xue Lang said that maintain appropriate activities during pregnancy, and give birth when you are born.

After Xue Lang was exiled to Yuezhou, Princess Pingyang has been living in a simple place, at most, she goes to the palace every few days, asks the saint to say goodbye, the father and daughter talk together, eat a light meal or something, and spend most of the rest of the time in the house, almost never going out.

Occasionally, Princess Qin and Princess Xiangyang would come to see her, and Princess Qi had also come. Su Siniang also brought Su Han's fiancée Miss Kong to visit, and the most surprising thing to her was that Li Gang's eldest daughter-in-law, Zeng, also came to visit.

"Lady, Lady Liu asks to see you."

Princess Pingyang is pruning the potted plant that Xue Lang gave her, it is very ordinary, it does not use any precious tree species, it is an ordinary green leaf shrub, with dense branches, Xue Lang cut the shape of a rabbit, not to mention any artistry, it looks childlike.

Princess Pingyang held the scissors in her hand, stopped, and said while looking at her, "Let her in." ”

"Whoa."

After a while, Lady Liu came in, and when she saw the work in Princess Pingyang's hands, the corners of her mouth couldn't help twitching: "Ah Liu meets His Highness." ”

Princess Pingyang put down the scissors, handed them to the maid to take them, got up and said, "Why is Ah Liu so outside?" Excuse me, go over there and sit down. ”

"Whoa."

Lady Liu couldn't help but glance at the small tree that had been groomed into a rabbit again, her eyes were full of pity, Princess Pingyang naturally noticed her strange gaze, and couldn't help but smile and disagree.

But Lady Liu couldn't help but ask, "Is this ...... The handiwork of the colt? ”

Princess Pingyang nodded and said, "Some time ago, I was diagnosed with joy, and the horse said that he wanted to add some childlike fun to the house, so he cut a lot of animal-style wood plants. Now that the colt is gone, I'll help trim it so that it doesn't come back and be lost. ”

Although there is not a word of longing, there is a bitter lovesickness in the words.

Lady Liu sighed in her heart and said with a smile: "I didn't expect the horse to be so childlike, I thought that the horse was an upright and prudent person." ”

Princess Pingyang smiled slightly, nodded, and didn't say much, she didn't like to talk to people, and she didn't want to explain to Ah Liu about her concubine's private interests.

The two of them walked to the side of the hall one after the other and sat down on a chair. Lady Liu asked, "Dare to ask Your Highness, but do you intend to leave Chang'an?" ”

There was a lot of excitement outside, Ah Liuyan didn't know! Princess Pingyang nodded and said, "I really have this intention, just wait for the fetus to sit down before leaving." ”

Lady Liu silently counted the date and said, "Isn't it just in time for Yuanzheng?" ”

Princess Pingyang said: "I will stay in Chang'an to accompany the saint to spend the Yuanzheng, and I will leave after the beginning of spring. ”

When Lady Liu heard this, she couldn't help laughing and said: "Isn't that horse going to spend half a year alone in Yuezhou, and Yuan Zhengri is also alone." ”

Princess Pingyang said with a smile: "Just let the horse have a long memory, which can be regarded as a slight punishment." ”

"A small punishment?"

Lady Liu asked curiously. Princess Pingyang smiled indifferently, and only said: "In my heart, I seem to think that it is not difficult to be alone, just let him experience it, and it is easy to say that he will only be able to say it in the future when he has practice." ”

Lady Liu understood, this was the practice of the concubine who didn't know where to make His Royal Highness angry, although she was very curious, but she was not easy to ask about the matter between husband and wife.

Thinking of it, Lady Liu said: "Since Your Highness has this plan, then Your Highness has heard about the recent events in Beijing, so let it go like this?" ”

Princess Pingyang put down the water glass and said, "The saint always has to take into account the hope of Shilin, how to manage it?" If you want to care, when Mo Ruo A-Niang gave birth to me, don't want me to be a daughter, but if it is not a woman, how can you experience all the fun in this world? ”

Lady Liu's heart was sour again, and she deliberately quipped: "Is Your Highness talking about the horse?" If His Royal Highness was born as a man, how could he become husband and wife with the horse, right? ”

Princess Pingyang smiled slightly, and admitted calmly: "Exactly." ”

Lady Liu smiled lightly and said, "It's a pity that the concubine can't hear His Highness's voice." ”

Princess Pingyang said peacefully: "It's a pity. ”

The two laughed twice, and Lady Liu said indignantly: "These rotten Confucians are a lot of things, with the merits of His Royal Highness, just a stab in history, why are they so noisy!" ”

Princess Pingyang said: "There are many scholars in the world, but there are only a few positions in the history of assassination, if I take one, wouldn't it be one less?" The history of the assassin is a shepherd, on behalf of His Majesty to shepherd the Quartet, in charge of the military and political affairs of a state, and his authority is not trivial. If this precedent is set, it is inevitable that there will be a second or third woman to serve as assassins in the future, and the world is like this, those people are just taking precautions! ”

After speaking, after a pause, Princess Pingyang said again: "Moreover, now that the country has been established, it is no longer the time of the past to fight, and you can still use power in wartime. The situation is like this, the time is not for me, and there is nothing I can do. ”

Lady Liu said: "Since His Royal Highness is well aware of the situation, why do you have to go against the trend?" ”

Princess Pingyang sighed: "It's just that the situation is compelling." ”

Lady Liu was puzzled, and arched her hand: "Please Your Highness to solve your doubts." ”

Princess Pingyang sighed: "The dispute between the prince and the king of Qin, Ah Liu must have heard of it, right?" ”

Lady Liu nodded. Princess Pingyang said: "The prince is my brother, and the king of Qin is my brother, both of whom are compatriots of the same mother. What should I do if the two are in contention? ”

Lady Liu was silent. Princess Pingyang sighed: "In order to avoid my difficulties, the horses are in danger, so that they are exiled to Yuezhou. He treated me like this, and I went against the trend to ask for the position of assassin, but I wanted to protect him safely. ”

Lady Liu was stunned

Taizhou is next door to Yuezhou, although it is not a rich and prosperous place, but it is not a barren and barren land. If His Royal Highness can seek the position of assassin history, with the ability of His Royal Highness and the horse, and the position of Taizhou assassin history, to shepherd and guard the land of a state, it is really a strategy to advance and attack, and retreat to defend the top policy.

It's a pity that the time is not for me, now is not the time when the world is not at peace, wartime power, His Royal Highness can still be out of office, seeing that the world is about to be settled, how can those rotten Confucians be willing to let a woman like the princess serve as the assassin.

Lady Liu wanted to understand His Highness's plan, and felt sorry for His Highness in her heart, and said hatefully: "It's useless to be a scholar, and it's a bad thing!" ”

Princess Pingyang smiled indifferently and said, "It's not necessarily all lost." I have military exploits, and my horses have been exiled, and the saints have taken pity on me, and I have failed to assassinate history, and I should be allowed to come to the position of a governor. Those people can refute the edict of the saint once, can they refute it twice? What will be the saint's heavenly prestige! ”

Lady Liu was stunned again, and saluted to Her Royal Highness the princess in admiration: "Your Highness's wisdom, Ah Liu bows to you!" ”

Now that the Tang Dynasty has been established, and there is no longer the situation of the founding of the country, the times have changed, and it is not easy for Her Royal Highness the Princess to take charge of the military again. I think that the purpose of His Highness is only to hold military power, and the position of assassination is not inevitable, and His Highness's purpose is only military power from beginning to end.

Princess Pingyang waved her hand, disappreciated, and said indifferently: "Thank you Ah Liu for caring about me, don't worry, I have already died once, and now I have a child with the horse, how can I spare my life!" It's Ah Liu, can you find Ruyi Langjun? ”

Lady Liu's face turned red when she was asked, and she was speechless.
