Xue Shao's tone was half joking and half serious.

But Shangguan Wan'er knows that Xue Shao is no longer the Lantian son she was when she first saw the Huxin funeral poem. Today's Xue Shao, a casual joke may become an earth-shattering fact at any time.

Wen Anbang, Wu Dingguo. No regime can do without the strong support of the military.

Now Xue Shao is already representing the entire military to bargain with Empress Dowager Wu. The so-called military merit award is actually a cooperation agreement for "civil and military forces to join hands to create a new dynasty".

"In the face of such a major event as the change of dynasty, in front of historical giants like Empress Dowager Wu and Xue Shao...... What can I count as a mere Shangguan Wan'er? ”

Shangguan Wan'er thought about it a lot. But there was silence.

Xue Shao stared at Shangguan Wan'er for a moment, and smiled, "Scared you?" ”

"No ......"

Xue Shao stood up, reached out to take the award order, and said, "I'll take it back and take a good look at it, and give you an answer in two days." ”

Just as Xue Shao's hand was just grasping the award order, Shangguan Wan'er suddenly reached out and grabbed the other end of the scroll. "What's wrong?" Xue Shao looked at her curiously.

Shangguan Wan'er raised her head and looked at Xue Shao, "Do you really want me?" ”

Xue Shao blinked, "Of course." ”

"If you want my heart, it's already yours." Shangguan Wan'er let go of her hand, stood up, and reached to her waist to gently untie her belt.

Xue Shaoyu's eyebrows sank slightly, looking at her.

She turned, her belt tossed aside, and her dress was slightly loose. She whispered, "If you're the one who wants me, I can give it to you now." ”

Xue Shao shook his head, and suddenly felt very boring.

Hu Fu has already landed, revealing a snow-white silk underwear. Not overbearing, but seductive.

"What if I want something else?" Xue Shao said.

"Other than that, Shangguan Wan'er has nothing." She turned her back to Xue Shao and said.

"Put it on!" Xue Shao sighed lightly, "A woman who wants to give her heart to me can form an army." If it's just to vent his desires, Xue can indulge in the land of gentleness every day. But Shangguan Wan'er, she is different and unique in the world. ”

After saying this, Xue Shao raised his feet and walked out.

Shangguan Wan'er hurriedly turned around, "Don't go!" ”

Pear blossoms bring rain, which is the most provocative to men's hearts.

Xue Shao walked up to her, stretched out his hand, and wiped the tears from her eyelids. Then he picked up the Hu Fu on the ground, gently draped it on her body, and said, "I know your difficulties, and I won't force you again." ”

"You won't understand......" Shangguan Wan'er lowered her head and said softly.

Xue Shao gently patted her weak shoulders with both hands and said, "I already have Princess Taiping and a perfect home. I also have a few concubines who love me so much, and they yearn for my love every day. The princess also placed a large number of singing and dancing beauties in her house, so as to prevent me from going to a place like Pingkangfang. I'm not a good man, I'm amorous and, and I mess with flowers everywhere I go. The women around me are not good at stubble, they are all like wolves, and they can't wait to tear me to pieces, give each of them a piece, and then put it in a sachet and carry it with me every day. ”

Shangguan Wan'er, who was originally very sad, couldn't help but laugh, and hurriedly lowered her head, and her forehead touched Xue Shao's chest.

Xue Shao reached out and stroked her back. Shangguan Wan'er shrank slightly, and gently hit Xue Shao's chest with her forehead. It's like a playful teasing, and it's like a faint resentment.

Xue Shao hugged Shangguan Wan'er, patted her smooth satin-like back, and said, "Wan'er, I can't give you what you want." ”

"Then have you ever wondered what Wan'er really wants?" Shangguan Wan'er said softly.

Xue Shao was slightly stunned, and said in his heart that even if she is a super strong woman like Wu Zetian, what she wants is nothing more than a man's thick shoulders and meticulous care in addition to the country and power-don't women all do this?

"I knew you hadn't thought about it." Shangguan Wan'er sighed softly, as if she was a little disappointed.

But she stretched out her arms and gently wrapped her arms around Xue Shao's back.

"Now you can tell me." Xue Shao said in her ear, "Actually, I'm stupid, I don't know too much about women. ”

Shangguan Wan'er laughed again, and pinched Xue Shao's back lightly.

"Well, I seem to be a little too modest." Xue Shao also smiled and said, "But who can really fully understand a woman's heart?" I only know a little bit about it. The reason why it is invincible is mainly by face...... Or, shamelessly. ”

"Alright, don't talk about it!" Shangguan Wan'er really couldn't cry or laugh.

"Then you can say it!" Xue Shao smiled, "Tell me, what do you really want?" ”

Shangguan Wan'er put her face on Xue Shao's chest, blinked her eyes and thought for a moment, and said, "I have had a dream since I was a child. One day, I'll have a big house of my own. It was a big house filled with books I loved. I'll fill the whole house with incense, all day long. I can read any book I want in this house. It's okay to sit and lie down, regardless of the seasons, day or night, no eunuch will come to beat and scold me, and no palace maid will steal my book and tear it up and burn it. ”

Xue Shao was slightly stunned, "This is easy to achieve." ”

"Listen to me, don't interrupt ......me," Shangguan Wan'er closed her eyes, a sweet smile spread on her face, and said leisurely, "I hope this house can be built between the clouds and mountains far away from the palace and even away from the world." When I opened the window, I could see the flying cranes and the drifting clouds. I would walk barefoot to the window and spread my long hair in the faint floral morning breeze. I would write a lot of poems, many, many times. I would hold my piano and walk among the moist grass and fragrant flowers, and find a stone platform where a mountain spring flows and a hundred birds chirp. I'll sit down there, play my piano, and play the music I've written. With my throat, sing the poems I wrote. At this time, a man I love will come to my side, stare at me with a smile, and quietly accompany me. It wasn't until it was dark that he took me by the hand, picked up my piano, and took me home. ”

Xue Shao listened quietly, blinking his eyes occasionally.

In every woman's heart, there is a dream that can never be realized. Shangguan Wan'er's dream is as innocent as a fairy tale, as romantic as a poem, and as magnificent as a mirage, and it is out of reach.

"Now, do you know what I want?" Shangguan Wan'er asked.

Xue Shao breathed a sigh of relief, "Freedom." ”

Shangguan Wan'er hugged Xue Shao a little tighter, her face was closer, and she said softly: "What I want is what I will never get." People like me are destined to never be happy, and there will never be happiness. ”

Xue Shao probably understood what she wanted to express. She hopes that her life can be as free as the clouds in the mountains, and as romantic as poetry. She wants to live in a beautiful dream away from the distractions of the world, and she hates bondage, the palace, politics, intrigue and even all her experiences and memories.

But she had to face it all again. She wanted to escape, she wanted to be free. But to the greatest extent, she can only escape from the quagmire of the palace by becoming someone else's wife and concubine. But marriage will be another prison and shackle for her who longs for freedom!

She was a, a true poet.

The romance and dreams she longed for will never come true, but she will always live in the romance and dreams she longs for. She is like the clouds on the top of the mountain as depicted in her dreams, beautiful and free and ethereal. People can only appreciate her, praise her, or chase her and accompany her, but they can't capture her, dominate her, and it is impossible to really own her and get her.

"You will be happy and you will be happy." Xue Shao held her face with both hands, kissed her on the forehead, and said, "I won't put you in a cage like a canary and enjoy it greedily alone." I will always be with you quietly. I'm not good at writing poetry, but I savor every poem you write. My world is your world, if you will. You can do whatever you want without worrying about any consequences. I will let you know that Xue Shao actually understands you. ”

"I long for freedom, and you give me the greatest freedom, right?" Shangguan Wan'er closed her eyes and a mesmerizing smile spread across her face. She hugged Xue Shao tighter and said softly: "Although Wan'er has unattainable dreams, Wan'er is actually not greedy. Understand, it's already the best gift you've given me. Wait until the day when Wan'er looks old, if you still hold me like this, say to me that you understand you. Wan'er's life is enough! ”

"As you wish, it will come true." Xue Shao smiled.

Shangguan Wan'er looked up at Xue Shao and smiled slightly.

This time, her smile was finally no longer a pale expression of uncaring hatred. Xue Shao had never seen her before, and he had smiled so truly.

Shangguan Wan'er hugged him tightly. Xue Shao felt the softness coming from his chest, which was gradually becoming hot.

"Alright, it's time for me to go back." Xue Shao let go of her and said with a smile, "Otherwise, something will be about to hit the brain." ”

Shangguan Wan'er's face turned red in an instant, and she lowered her head and said, "I will be your person sooner or later......"

"But not now." Xue Shao took two steps back, picked up the Lingwen scroll and shook it at Shangguan Wan'er, and said, "I have heard that if there is a concubine or palace maid in the palace who is not favored, there will be a history of Tong to check her regularly. Especially those female officers who have returned from expatriation, the interrogation is tighter. Is there such a thing? ”

Shangguan Wan'er was slightly stunned, "Even this, you know?" ”

"Have you forgotten that Princess Taiping grew up in the palace?" Xue Shao smiled and said, "The first thing you will do after returning to the palace is to face the Tong Shi physical examination. If this were to be changed in the past, perhaps the big things could be turned into small things, and the small things could be turned into small things. But at this very juncture, I don't want it to be a danger for you in the future. We have a lifetime to go, Wan'er. ”

Shangguan Wan'er took a deep breath, tears hazy her eyes again, and nodded lightly, "Yes, Xue Lang." We have a lifetime left! ”

Xue Shao had no choice but to step forward again, wipe away the tears under her eyelids, and said softly: "Promise me, don't cry anymore, it will ruin your face." Shangguan Wan'er in my heart will always be flawless. ”

"Fool, you'll be disappointed. Where is there a perfect person in the world? Shangguan Wan'er smiled with tears in her eyes.

"But there are immaculate dreams." Xue Shao said, "Wan'er, you are not the only one in the world who has dreams. Xue Shao actually has dreams, and his dreams are very simple. There lives a confidante who will be with him for the rest of his life, and the perfect lover of his dreams. ”
