For about half an hour in the next session, Xue Shao tried his best to talk to Pei Yan in a neutral tone about his personal views on some important generals in the army.

Xue Shao didn't know what kind of position these people had in Pei Yan's mind, so he was very careful to grasp the proportions, and did not reveal his likes and dislikes for a certain general in his words. His narrative rhetoric is like a "military general card" in a video game, from the generals Li Jinxing, Li Duozuo and Zhang Qianqiao, to Dugu Yizhi and Sha Zha Zhongyi, who are not too familiar with them, Xue Shao basically only commented on the generals' military quality and personal ability, and absolutely did not talk about the moral standards and political positions of others.

Pei Yan didn't express any opinions or attitudes when he listened, and he didn't even interrupt Xue Shao's words, like a very caring and personable listener.

"Why don't you talk about it, what about Xue Chuyu and Guo Yuanzhen?" After Xue Shao's words came to an end, Pei Yan took the initiative to ask.

Xue Shao couldn't help but feel a little chill in his heart. The last thing he wanted to talk about was these two people.

The reason is very simple, because Xue Shao still doesn't know Pei Yan's inner thoughts. In case Pei Yan dislikes himself, then the closer he is to his brother, the more likely he is to be unlucky; In case Pei Yan wanted to win himself over, he couldn't openly praise and elevate his brother in front of him.

Quan Chen, he has always liked to form gangs and factions at the same time, but he is also afraid of others forming gangs and factions to form a unique team!

"This ...... Both of them are just junior generals who have just entered the military, and their status is even lower than Xue's. It seems that there is nothing to talk about. Xue Shao wanted to prevaricate the past.

"According to the old man, it may not be the case, right?" Pei Yan's eyes flashed with that fierce gaze again, and said, "In the military intelligence report reported by Pei Wenxi to the imperial court, in addition to praising Xue Gongzi himself, he also highly praised the two of them. The so-called simultaneous listening is clear, the old man knows that Xue Gongzi has worked with him a lot, so he wants to listen to Xue Gongzi himself, how are these two people? ”

This is obviously a little, aggressive.

Xue Shao gritted his teeth secretly, and when he was thinking about the wording, the figure of Princess Taiping appeared outside the hall. Walking side by side with him was another young woman, who was born quite beautifully.

As soon as Pei Yan saw Princess Taiping appear, he immediately changed his face and stood up, taking the initiative to bow his hand to worship.

"Pei Xianggong, Ling Ai is very close to me!" Princess Taiping took the girl's hand and said with a smile.

"Being able to make friends with Her Royal Highness the princess is a blessing for the little girl." Pei Yan bent down and bowed, quite humble.

Pei Yan's daughter politely gave Princess Taiping and Xue Shao a courtesy and confessed her guilt, and immediately took her leave. gave Xue Shao's first impression that this girl was a lady who abided by etiquette and law, and she didn't want to show her head in front of people. Presumably, it was Princess Taiping who forced her to come. Otherwise, she would not have shown up on such an occasion.

Xue Shao secretly gave Princess Taiping a look, and Princess Taiping immediately understood, and said with a graceful smile: "Pei Xianggong, the two of us have been disturbing your mansion for a long time, and it is getting late at this time, so we might as well please leave." ”

Pei Yan naturally said something to stay, Princess Taiping politely said a few words with her, and said that if she didn't return to the inner court, the palace gate would probably be closed, so Pei Yan didn't continue to insist.

Xue Shao sighed secretly, it was really hard and passive to communicate with Pei Yan, and he actually had to work Princess Taiping to save the scene!

Later, the two said goodbye and left, Pei Yan led the family to the gate respectfully to say goodbye, until Princess Taiping's car drove through the corner of the square prescription and returned home.

Xue Shao's heart was inevitably a little heavy. Pei Yan's old spiciness, strength and strength were not unexpected by Xue Shao, and the person who could become Wu Zetian's political ally was by no means simple. What made Xue Shao a little worried was that he was completely passive in front of Pei Yan, and he had to be careful every word he said, and what the other party was thinking in his heart was completely bottomless.

It feels bad.

"Xue Lang, what's wrong with you?" Princess Taiping in the car saw Xue Shao's sad expression and asked with concern.

Xue Shao shook his head gently, "I can't tell for a while." ”

"Then let's find a place to sit down and talk?" Princess Taiping hurriedly said.

Xue Shao thought for a while, "Aren't you in a hurry to go back to the palace?" ”

"Silly." Princess Taiping smiled slightly and said in a low voice, "Of course, that's a pretext for Pei Yan." If I'm with you, what's the point of going back in the middle of the night? Naturally, I have a way to open the palace gate. ”

Xue Shao smiled knowingly, "Turn to Qinglongfang and go to my house!" ”

"Yay!!"

Princess Taiping jumped for joy like a child who had snatched a lollipop.

The car changed lanes and arrived at Xue Shao's house at dusk. The mansion had just had dinner, and it was very alarmed to hear that Xue Shao and Princess Taiping had returned at the same time. Princess Taiping took the initiative to appease Xue Shao's family and asked them not to be busy, she had already eaten, she just came to sit and leave.

Xue Shao saw that when Princess Taiping got along with her sister-in-law and Yuenu, she didn't show much princess arrogance, and she had just the right balance between affinity and nobility, as if she already had some "housewife style".

Xue Shao couldn't help but want to laugh, who did this little girl learn from, was it Wu Zetian's words and deeds or from women's natural instincts?

The two of them took a walk after dinner and walked to the back house of Xue's mansion. It used to be a polo field, but now it has become a fitness place for people like Xue Shao and Yuenu. Princess Taiping visited this place for the first time, and asked about the use of those utensils quite curiously, and even tried Xue Shao's self-made iron crossbow a few times, and she was quite happy.

Seeing that she was in a good mood, Xue Shao patiently accompanied her and did not talk to her about those troubles. However, Princess Taiping had a heart, and after playing for a while, she said that she wanted to rest, and pulled Xue Shao to sit in the porch next to the court, and took the initiative to ask Xue Shao about her thoughts.

"Xue Lang, you have met the Queen of Heaven and Pei Yan today, how do you feel?" Princess Taiping asked.

Xue Shao thought for a moment and said: "I have figured out at least one thing, the queen of heaven and the prime minister have reached a consensus that they will make some personnel adjustments to the army generals of the Tang Dynasty. And I'm going to leave the army for a while to avoid the limelight. ”

Princess Taiping nodded lightly, noncommittal.

Xue Shao smiled bitterly, as expected, this matter was not unexpected by her, and even, she may have known that Lu Dao even had some involvement.

"Xue Lang, leaving the army, did you make you unhappy?" Princess Taiping asked in a low voice.

Xue Shao frowned lightly and nodded.

Princess Taiping's reaction was unexpected by Xue Shao, and she seemed to be relieved.

"Huh?" Xue Shao expressed his doubts with an expression and a nasal voice.

Princess Taiping stretched out her hand to hold Xue Shao's arm, and said softly: "If you say that you don't care, then it proves that you are covering it up in front of me, and you are not telling me the truth." Although I like you to coax me, I want to hear the true voice of your heart, Xue Lang. ”

Xue Shao smiled slightly, patted Princess Taiping's hand, and said, "I admit that this matter made me feel very surprised and somewhat depressed, but I have already figured it out." ”

"How?"

Xue Shao replied: "I can't take all the good things alone. In just one year, I have grown from a cloth cloth to a five-grade master, and I am about to marry you. Most of the burden on people's hearts is due to greed. When it is time to be content, I will be content. ”

Princess Taiping's eyes lit up, "Are you telling the truth?" ”

"Truth." Xue Shao smiled and nodded, swearing, "In other words, being able to marry you is already the greatest gift to me from God, the Second Sage, and the imperial court." If a wife is like this, what more can a husband ask for? ”

“…… Call! ”

Princess Taiping let out a long breath again. This time, it was clearly relieved.

"Why, you're so worried that I can't open it?" Xue Shao smiled, "In your opinion, I am so narrow-minded and eager for quick success? ”

"Absolutely not." Princess Taiping looked at Xue Shao seriously and said categorically, "Xue Lang, I admit that I have prepared a lot of rhetoric to comfort you and convince you. Now it seems that my worries are somewhat unnecessary. You are more wise and open-minded than I thought. It seems that my mother's vision is really not wrong. Xue Lang, you are indeed a great husband who can achieve great things! ”

The vision of the queen mother? Achieve great things?

Xue Shao's heart moved, is this a "leaking heavenly opportunity"?

"So, you don't think I'm a great husband anymore?" Xue Shao joked with Princess Taiping on the topic.

"I hate it, you know my intentions!" Princess Taiping was coquettish, "Xue Lang, promise me, don't think about any superfluous things before we get married, don't worry about it, okay?" ”

Xue Shao couldn't help laughing, "A few days ago, who personally asked me for a wedding gift?" ”

Princess Taiping was slightly stunned, obviously thinking about it, and whispered, "You mean...... Dealing with Wu Youning? ”

Xue Shao said: "This matter is not over yet, is it? The Imperial Historical Observatory is reviewing the case in Lantian County. Are you in the palace, have you heard any movement? Or, has the queen asked you about it? ”

"No, my queen mother doesn't seem to have bothered to do anything about it." Princess Taiping said very surely, but there was a hint of incredulity in her expression, and she said, "However, there is a person who would never have thought that came forward to me and pleaded for Wu Youning." ”

"Oh?" Xue Shao was a little curious, "Who is it?" ”

Princess Taiping didn't rush to say, but looked at Xue Shao with very strange eyes, and said suspiciously: "That person, you may be more familiar." ”

Xue Shao blinked, he clearly found that there was a hint of "vinegar" in Princess Taiping's expression, which made him feel even more strange, so he said, "Who is it?" ”

"A woman. Pretty woman. When Princess Taiping said this, the vinegar in her expression became more obvious.

Xue Shao couldn't help but be slightly stunned in his heart, there are definitely not many women who are familiar with me, can easily see Princess Taiping, and make Princess Taiping jealous, is it...... Shangguan Wan'er?

Xue Shao was surprised in her heart, didn't Shangguan Wan'er have a feud with the people of the Wu family, she didn't seem to have any reason to ask Wu Youning for any mercy.

If it weren't for Shangguan Wan'er...... So who should it be?
