Yu Hongye has his own opinions, and Xue Shao is afraid that he will owe again. In the final analysis, this is a matter between Xue Shao and Yu Hongye, and no matter how hard outsiders try, it is in vain.

So Princess Taiping finally decided not to entangle Yu Hongye with Xue Shao. She knew her man, and since he could say something like that, it was already clear in his mind. Princess Taiping was never willing to force Xue Shao to do anything, which would make him unhappy, and then he would not be happy, and in the end, things would probably be messed up, so that the relationship between husband and wife and the family atmosphere would become very tense.

This is a common short-sighted long-tongued woman among the small people in the market who do bad things with good intentions, and Princess Taiping would rather die than become such a person. She is even more reluctant to disturb the family and make it uneasy. For her, it would be the biggest failure in her life as the head mother of a big family, and it would even be the trigger for the decline of this big family.

In Princess Taiping's opinion, even if she is rich in the world or even owns the world, it is not as important as her marriage to Xue Shao.

Xue Shao knew that Princess Taiping must have talked to Yu Hongye about marriage in private. She has always been a fiery person, as resolute as her mother. But for things like relationships and marriage, it is not enough to act vigorously and resolutely.

The current life has given Xue Shao a rare opportunity to precipitate and reflect, he has realized that he has gone too fast without distractions over the years, he has really ignored a lot of things, and he has failed too many people.

Not everything can be remedied, and not all people who have been let down can go and beg for forgiveness.

But Xue Shao decided to give Yu Hongye and himself a chance. Even if it will end in failure, at least I will take it seriously and work hard.

So Xue Shao walked to the residence of the moon slave again.

Princess Taiping looked at Xue Shao's back and showed a smile.

"My man is a man of flesh and blood." Princess Taiping whispered to herself, "He will make mistakes and be confused, he will have moments of hesitation and cowardice." But he can always be the way he should be at the most opportune time. ”

Yue Nu and Yu Hongye were getting together, whispering about some topics about their daughter's house. Xue Shao went and returned, which made them somewhat stunned.

"Momiji, I want to discuss something with you." Xue Shao was no longer silent or cramped, and his tone was very calm.

"Xue Gong, please speak?" Yu Hongye replied. The moon slave was also present, and listened curiously.

"I plan to go to Yangzhou in the south of the Yangtze River and play for a while." Xue Shao said, "Are you willing to go along?" ”

Yuenu immediately exclaimed in surprise, "Great, I always want to go to Yangzhou in my dreams!" ”

"You can only do it next time." Xue Shao said lightly, "This time I plan to go alone." ”

"Huh?" Yu Hongye and Yue Nu were both surprised.

"Well, you heard it right." Xue Shao said, "Yangzhou is the richest and most prosperous place in the world. With 100,000 yuan around my waist and riding a crane down to Yangzhou, I not only want to go to Haosheng to have a play, but also want to personally explore the business opportunities there. ”

Yue Nu opened her mouth in surprise, no matter how stupid she was, she could figure it out that Xue Shao was planning to officially launch an "attack" on Yu Hongye.

But Yu Hongye, will you accept it?

So Yue Nu looked back at Yu Hongye with the same expression, waiting for her answer expectantly.

"I ......" This time it was Yu Hongye's turn to drag out a long note, and his face was red.

"It's okay, I won't force you if you want to." Xue Shao smiled, "When I come back, I'll talk to you about business opportunities." ”

"I do!"

Yu Hongye almost shouted these three words.

The moon slave looked at her blankly, and said in her heart, I have never seen Yu Hongye speak so loudly.

"Okay, then you can prepare." Xue Shao nodded with a smile, "We'll leave the day after tomorrow." ”

"Hmm......" Yu Hongye replied softly.

"Haha!"

Yue Nu suddenly laughed, hugged Yu Hongye hard, and said excitedly: "Hongye, you are really good!" I actually have the opportunity to go out alone with my son and visit Yangzhou! ”

"Don't make noise! Don't be noisy! ......" Yu Hongye hurriedly pointed outside the door to signal that Xue Shao hadn't gone far yet. She felt like she had never felt a mess in her heart, and her face felt like it was about to burn.

Xue Shao smiled secretly, returned to the master bedroom, and lay down again as before.

Princess Taiping looked at him stunned, "What's the matter?" ”

"I made a selfish and headstrong decision." Xue Shao said while lying on his back.

Princess Taiping smiled disapprovingly, got into bed and lay beside him like Xue Shao, and said softly: "Since you have already decided, then go for it!" ”

"You agree?"

"It doesn't matter." Princess Taiping said, "You rarely say the words 'I decide' to me. But as long as you say it, I will never stop you. Whatever you're going to do. ”

"You're pampering me." Xue Shao said softly, "You once said that you and your mother have been conniving at me all along. Someday, you'll spoil me. ”

Princess Taiping lay down, stretched out her hand from her side to hold Xue Shao's hand, and said, "That's because you will never be really spoiled." You deserve to do this to you. ”

"......" Xue Shao was still lying on his back to the sky, speechless, and shook Princess Taiping's hand tightly.

Two days later, early in the morning.

Xue Shao changed into an ordinary man's clothes, and Yu Hongye also changed into a very ordinary men's clothes. The two of them each led a horse, and the horses with ordinary coats and appearances met at the Shili Dao Pavilion outside Chang'an City.

"Ready?"

"Alright."

"Get on the horse and let's go!"

"Xue Gong first, please!" Yu Hongye said.

Xue Shao smiled, "Let's make an appointment first." On this trip, both of you and I are ordinary people. My name is Chengyu, Jingzhao Lantian people, a scholar. You can call me Brother Cheng or Cheng Lang Jun. I'll call you Miss Yu. ”

"This ...... Not okay? I'm not used to it either! Yu Hongye looked a little embarrassed.

"You'll get used to it." Xue Shao said with a smile: "You take a bite of Xue Gong, then I might as well play a pomp of a centaur team and drink all the way to Yangzhou!"

"That's right." Yu Hongye smiled slightly, "Please, Brother Cheng!" ”

"Not bad." Xue Shao laughed and turned over on the horse.

Yu Hongye has been out and about for many years, and his riding skills are not weak. She turned over and got on the horse, and her movements were extremely standard and smooth, which made Xue Shao's eyes light up.

"Looking at Brother Cheng's expression, have you always looked down on me?" Yu Hongye said with a smile on his face.

"At present, the official road is sparsely populated. Why don't we have a race? Xue Shao said.

"Drive!"

Yu Hongye rode his horse and whipped his whip and ran out first.

"Yo ho! The little weak woman has such riding skills, she is so handsome that she has no friends! Xue Shao was quite surprised, and hurriedly patted his horse and chased after him.

At this moment, Luoyang Taichu Palace is in the palace.

Wu Zetian called Cen Changqian, Yao Yuanchong, Lou Shide, and Wang Xiaojie to a pre-imperial meeting. Halfway through the meeting, Wu Zetian asked, "Zhao Guogong Xue Chengyu, where is he now?" ”

The three of them looked at each other, and Wang Xiaojie replied: "The minister saw Xue Gong when he passed through Chang'an a few days ago. At that time, he was accompanying Her Royal Highness Princess Taiping to hunt at the foot of Zhongnan Mountain. ”

Wu Zetian asked, "What are you going to do to see him?" ”

Wang Xiaojie replied very calmly: "The minister was afraid that he would not be able to do a good job as a Xia official scholar, so he went to ask Xue Gong for advice. ”

"If there is anything you don't understand, you can ask Yao Shilang." Wu Zetian didn't say much, pointed at Yao Yuanchong and said, "He has been working in Xia Guan for many years and is familiar with all government affairs there. ”

"Yes, Your Majesty."

Wu Zetian said again: "Have you talked to Xue Gong about Tubo?" ”

"A brief chat." Wang Xiaojie replied, "The minister told him that the Great Zhou and Tubo will probably have a formal full-scale confrontation. ”

"What does he say?"

"He didn't say anything." Wang Xiaojie said, "He said that the minister should report all his thoughts to His Majesty after returning to the court." ”

"Hmm......" Wu Zetian nodded thoughtfully, "Wang Xiaojie, you go to Chang'an again to ask to see Xue Gong." Go to him for detailed advice on the current situation. Just say, I sent you. ”

"Your Majesty, the minister doesn't want to go." Wang Xiaojie said without hesitation, "Otherwise, Your Majesty will send Yao Shilang to go!" ”

Wu Zetian and the three important ministers all looked at Wang Xiaojie in amazement, "Why?" ”

"Minister......" Wang Xiaojie hesitated for a moment and said, "The minister is uncomfortable in front of him. Asking for advice will also be unclear. Or Yao Shilang is more proficient in military affairs, and he is familiar with Xue Gong. Your Majesty should send him! ”

Wu Zetian was directly happy, and said in his heart Wang Xiaojie, you are already the prime minister, why are you still so virtuous?

Yao Yuanchong hurriedly stepped forward to play a round game, "Your Majesty, please go on this trip." The minister believes that after all, it is a major military matter, and there is no need to stick to too many small sections. ”

"Reasonable. Then I'll bother you to go on this trip! Wu Zetian nodded approvingly, and said in his heart that Yao Yuanchong still knew the general situation, and then said, "I won't make any will or words, you should visit your friends in private to go on this trip." Remember to tell you that I miss my good grandson very much. Let them come back to their senses when they are free, and don't forget about me. ”

"Yes, Your Majesty!"

Two days later, Yao Yuanchong, the squire of Fengge, arrived in Chang'an and came to visit Princess Taiping's mansion.

"Yo, rare guest!" When Princess Taiping saw Yao Yuanchong, she was the first to say, "Why did Yao Shilang suddenly come to Chang'an?" ”

Yao Yuanchong heard the hint of ridicule in Princess Taiping's words, but he only replied calmly: "Your Highness, Yuan Chong came to visit Xue Gong on purpose. ”

"It's really unfortunate that he went to Yangzhou to play, and he has been gone for two or three days." Princess Taiping said truthfully.

"Huh?" Yao Yuanchong was directly stunned.

"Do you have anything important?" Princess Taiping asked.

Yao Yuanchong rolled his eyes and arched his hand: "There is nothing else important." Only His Majesty Tuo Weichen brought a sentence, saying that he missed his grandson very much. Please ask His Royal Highness and Duke Xue to come back to their senses when they are free, don't forget Your Majesty. ”

Princess Taiping said without hesitation: "Okay, this palace will take the child to the Shendu and enter the palace to meet Your Majesty." ”

Yao Yuanchong was surprised again, how could the princess agree so simply?

"Yao Shilang, would you like to go with this palace?" Princess Taiping asked.

"Yuan Chong, it's better to be respectful than to obey!"

Princess Taiping smiled slightly, and said in her heart that I have a lot of things to ask you about carefully!
