Xue Shao and Shangguan Wan'er appeared side by side and appeared in front of their colleagues together.

Although everyone has long known about the two of them, they have never seen them show up together so blatantly. Looking at Shangguan Wan'er's expression again, everyone guessed something.

Guo Yuanzhen was even more fast-talking, and said with a smile: "Yo, golden boy and jade girl!" ”

Xue Chuyu and the others laughed, but Gong Ren was dumbfounded, "There is such a stunning color in the world?" ”

Lou Shide was the only elder among the crowd, and waved his hand to signal everyone not to talk nonsense, but he smiled and said nothing.

Xue Shao stretched out his hand to hold Shangguan Wan'er, but Shangguan Wan'er refused, but took a step to the side.

Everyone laughed.

Xue Shao stepped forward alone with a smile and said, "I'll announce something." I'm about to marry Shangguan Wan'er. ”

"Congratulations to Xue Gong, He Jia Xue Gong!" Lou Shide took the lead and immediately congratulated him, "Congratulations to Shangguan Yuzheng, congratulations to Shangguan Yuzheng!" ”

"Thank you, thank you!" Xue Shao bowed his hand and thanked them one by one, "When the time comes, you must come to our mansion for a drink." ”

"One cup is enough!" Guo Yuanzhen said with a smile, "In order to celebrate your ten-year conspiracy has finally succeeded, you have to drink three barrels to say the least!" ”

Shangguan Wan'er stood at the back, smiling and flushed.

"You wine bag rice bag!" Xue Shao said to Guo Yuanzhen angrily, "Be reserved, can't you be a little reserved?" ”

Guo Yuanzhen smiled: "Don't point at me and scold." To this day, if I know what to order, you taught me. ”

Xue Chuyu said with a glance: "It's all nonsense." You have been messing around with the Hu people all day long in the frontier, and you have learned their habits. ”

"Yo, it's amazing to be promoted to the Duke of the Kingdom!" Guo Yuanzhen sneered, "This is the beginning of condescending brothers?" ”

"I, I didn't ......" Xue Chuyu was embarrassed, "I'm an honest person, I will only tell the truth!" ”

"Honest people never say they are honest." Guo Yuanzhen pouted, "For example, me." ”

There was a burst of laughter.

Xue Shao took two steps back and returned to Shangguan Wan'er's side, and whispered, "Are you still used to living outside?" ”

"Okay." Shangguan Wan'er replied in a whisper, her eyes still staring at Guo Yuanzhen and the others, as if she was afraid that someone would catch something.

Xue Shao smiled, it seems that Shangguan Wan'er is really used to such caution, and she can't change it for a while.

"Come with me on the boat tonight for night fishing, how about it?" Xue Shao said.

Shangguan Wan'er's face suddenly turned red to the base of her neck, her eyes sparkled, and she nodded in a panic.

Xue Shao smiled and left her side, and went to brag and chat with Guo Yuanzhen and others.

Shangguan Wan'er let out a long breath, happy to stand by alone, not happy to participate in their small talk.

Even though she thinks these people are really funny.

Like a canary who grew up in a cage since childhood, Shangguan Wan'er had just left the cage and flew into the cong that should have belonged to her, but it was difficult to adapt for a while.

Later, Wu Zetian gave a banquet in the Yaoguang Hall to entertain these generals who had made meritorious contributions to the west. At the end of the feast, Her Majesty gave each of them two young and beautiful maidservants to take home. Lou Shide excused himself on the grounds of old age and frailty, but Wu Zetian knew that although he had been in Rong for many years, he was also a traditional scholar in his bones, so he did not insist. Xue Shao also resigned, he had a special identity and had just had Shangguan Wan'er, so Wu Zetian also agreed.

Others, such as Guo Yuanzhen, Non Gongren, Xue Chuyu and Zhang Renyuan, were all accepted.

It is very rude not to accept the emperor's reward. As for what to do with the retraction, that's another matter.

After the banquet, Wu Zetian asked the palace people to drive a boat to send Xue Shao and his party out of the palace. Still on the boat, Xue Chuyu said I don't dare to take these two maids home, which of you want them?

Guo Yuanzhen immediately raised his hand, "I, I!" ”

"Well, it's yours." Xue Chuyu waved generously at the two maids and said to them, "I don't like women, and there is no shortage of servants at home." If I bring you home, I will only fail your youth. Guo Shilang is a four-grade important minister of the dynasty, and the characters are romantic and affectionate, so you will follow him from now on! ”

Those two maids are little palace maids who have entered the palace since childhood, how can they have any opinions? Naturally, he came to meet Guo Yuanzhen obediently.

Guo Yuanzhen laughed, "I've been suffering in the frontier for so many years, and now it's time to catch up." I don't have any other hobbies, and who of you doesn't want a rewarded handmaiden? ”

Everyone laughed.

On Gongren stepped forward, "Guo Shilang, mine is also for you." ”

"You? You can't! Guo Yuanzhen said with a blank look, "You are alone in Shendu, and you don't have a person to take care of your diet and daily life, these two maids just give you some life and relieve the loneliness in the room - so let's do it, I will go to your house with General Yuguan at noon tomorrow and have a light meal at will." We have to see what are the shortcomings of your home, and then we will take a helper and buy it for you. ”

Xue Shao was amused on the side, "This light meal is so casual, so shameless." ”

"Hey, hey!" Guo Yuanzhen said with a smile, "It's all military Wuhan, why are you still being polite?" - What do you say about the general? ”

"Guo Shilang is reasonable!" On Gongren was really amused by Guo Yuanzhen, "Tomorrow afternoon, on a certain respectfully invite you to come to the cold house and have a drink!" ”

"Good!" Everyone agreed.

After leaving the palace, Xue Shao rode back to his home, and first told Princess Taiping about the refusal to be crowned the king and worshipping the prime minister.

Today, Princess Taiping's "political consciousness" is no longer below Xue Shao. In some aspects involving the "royal family", her understanding is even better than Xue Shao's. Therefore, she did not express any objections, but praised Xue Shao for doing the right thing.

In the words of Princess Taiping, although people like Wang and Princess seem to be extremely noble, they are also subject to many restrictions. Take Wu Chenghei as an example, he must be thinking now that he would rather give up the prince than give up the left minister of Wenchang and leave the court and never participate in politics again.

In the final analysis, the lord is false, and the right is true.

Xue Shao heard the helplessness in her heart from Princess Taiping's words: I, the princess of Taiping, are too eye-catching, and the civil and military forces of the Manchu Dynasty are staring at me and not letting me directly participate in politics.

After dinner, Xue Shao said to Princess Taiping, I have to take a leave today, and I won't come back in the evening after going out.

Princess Taiping sneered, it's only been a day since you went home?

"I'm going to marry Shangguan Wan'er." Xue Shao smiled wryly and told Princess Taiping about this matter.

Princess Taiping was stunned, "Such a big credit, you got a Shangguan Wan'er?" ”

"Or else?" Xue Shao spread his hands, "I refused to pay homage to the king, do you still have the face to take the initiative to ask for anything else?" ”

Princess Taiping blinked, "It's good if you want a false position!" ――Three Princes and Three Teachers, aren't they all up to you? ”

"Don't you need it? Those are all honorable old royal families, or old heroes after the ranks. Xue Shao smiled, "I've just stood in my thirties, just three what males, three divisions?" ”

"No, it's not up to you!" Princess Taiping said seriously, "My princess wants to enter the palace in person and go to my mother to ask for something!" ”

Xue Shao smiled bitterly, "The courtiers and the emperor are bargaining like vegetable market sellers, what kind of system is this?" ”

"Must bargain!" Princess Taiping's face was flat, "Aren't you going to defile yourself?" It's too fake to only change such a big credit for Shangguan Wan'er! ――Do you think it's worth it, my mother and I, as well as the civil and military forces of the Manchu Dynasty, will feel that it's not worth it! ”

Xue Shaozhi grinned, "I said, forget it, right?" ”

"You can't just leave it at that!" Princess Taiping waved her hand angrily, "Go and have fun with your beloved Wan'er, remember to take the time to meet your future mother-in-law and give a little more gifts." You don't have to worry about the rest! ”

"Uh......" Xue Shao knew that he was at a loss, and was a little speechless.

"If you don't leave, I'll change my mind." Princess Taiping swished coldly, "You accompany me into the palace!" ”

"Then I'll go fishing...... Xue Shao was about to flash out.

"Wait a minute." Princess Taiping stopped him and asked seriously, "My mother never mentioned Xuanyunzi?" ”

Xue Shao pursed his lips, "No." ”

"It seems that it is really a ......" Princess Taiping frowned, "You go, this kind of thing can only be asked by me, and you can't ask." ”

"Hmm." Xue Shao nodded, "Then I'll ...... Really went? ”

"Not leaving?" Princess Taiping looked around, and casually picked up a sitting pu and made a vicious appearance, "I, I'm going to be angry!" ”

Xue Shao stood still and didn't leave, "If you really do this, I won't go." ”

"Forget it, you can go back!" Princess Taiping sighed lightly and put down her pat and said, "Remember, you have to discuss the marriage with her." We've been married for so many years, and it's the first time you've taken a concubine. I have to hold a wedding banquet for you in a beautiful way, and marry Shangguan Wan'er generously. Otherwise, it would seem that I, the princess of Taiping, am too jealous and narrow. After a while, he also married Yu Hongye together. Marriage ceremonies are treated equally, and one must not be favored over the other. As for getting married, they can live wherever they want. It's up to you to make these arrangements, and I won't give my opinion. ”

Xue Shao was stunned for a moment, and said with a wry smile: "Suddenly so good to me, I'm a little unaccustomed to it." ”

"Nonsense!" Princess Taiping glared, "You mean, I used to treat you badly?" ”

"Okay, all the time." Xue Shao smiled, "It's just that this time, it's really a little too good." No princess has ever been so good to a colt. ”

"Do you think I'm willing?" Princess Taiping glared, "Isn't it because I married a colt who is the least worry-free?" ”

Xue Shao smiled: "I'm already very honest, okay?" You see the ...... of marriage over the years"

"That's what I'm talking about." Princess Taiping's face and tone softened a lot, and she said, "You don't make people worry, it's because you dare to be the hero of the world." Even a country and an era can change because of you, if I, the princess of Taiping who is my wife, don't change with me, wouldn't it be a stubborn and stubborn thing, and sooner or later I will be abandoned by you? ”

"That can't be." Xue Shao said seriously, "You will always be my only wife, half of my life." This was true when we got married, and it is so now. In the future, too! ”

"That's why I'm going to be nice to you." Princess Taiping smiled, "I am half of your life, but you are all I have." To be good to you is to be good to myself. Got it? ”
