Chapter 445: Brave and Loyal

Xue Shao and Princess Taiping immediately looked at each other, different from the empty box sent last time, this time the queen actually had to ask the truth!

Princess Taiping's big smart eyes sparkled, and she said to the eunuch: "The gift of the Queen of Heaven, of course, our husband and wife are very happy and grateful. When I go back to the palace with you, I will thank the queen of heaven and her old man in person. ”

"In that case, Your Highness, please!" The eunuch was silent and had a very tight mouth.

"I'm going with you." Xue Shao said.

Princess Taiping pulled Xue Shao's wrist and used a little dark force, shaking her head at him, "It's night, how can a man enter the palace?" Please allow me to go alone, husband don't worry. ”

Xue Shao knew that she wanted to go to see Wu Zetian alone and say some good things to ask for mercy. Her mother and daughter have their own tacit understanding, and Princess Taiping is not easy to play when many outsiders are present.

"In this case, Your Highness might as well go early and return early, and I will let Yang Siqiao and Linlang accompany you into the palace." Xue Shao said, "Furthermore, please allow me a moment to prepare a little return gift and pay tribute to the Queen of Heaven." ”

"Okay."

Xue Shao left alone and walked to the Treasure Pavilion, where a large number of gold, silver, jewelry and antique treasures were displayed, most of which were dowries brought by Princess Taiping and congratulatory gifts from guests when she was newly married. Xue Shao picked for a while, feeling that Wu Zetian should not be rare in any jewelry and jade, as if any gift in return would not linish her heart. He stumbled upon a pair of night pearls named "Kirin Gall", which he remembered as if they were gifts from Silla's envoys. Thinking of the two empty boxes again, Xue Shao thought about it.

He asked someone to fetch the two boxes sent by the Queen of Heaven, and then painted the two unicorn galls exactly the same red, and then the two boxes were slightly modified and fixed in the center of the unicorn gall.

After processing, Xue Shao took out the two gift boxes and gave them to Princess Taiping, asking her to bring them back to the queen of heaven.

"Xue Lang, what do you mean by this?" Princess Taiping was puzzled.

"Heaven must not be divulged." Xue Shao smiled and breathed a sigh of relief, "After the queen of heaven sees it, she will understand!" ”

Princess Taiping blinked her big smart eyes and pondered for a moment, and suddenly realized, "The queen of heaven will definitely like it!" ”

Xue Shao smiled and gently scraped the bridge of Princess Taiping's nose, "If it is separated from your clever mouth, her old man may not be able to like it!" ”

"Hee-hee!" Princess Taiping laughed proudly, "Then I'll go, Xue Lang!" If my mother had left me to stay overnight, I wouldn't have come back tonight. You...... You have to be honest! ”

"What does it mean to be dishonest?" Xue Shao said with a smile.

There were outsiders present, and Princess Taiping glared at Xue Shao twice, "I'm leaving, I'm leaving!" ”

"I'll get you on board." Xue Shao smiled and helped her into the carriage.

Before getting into the car, Princess Taiping twisted Xue Shao's palm a little harder, and said in a fierce whisper: "The beauty at home is like a cloud, don't go out at night." Be obedient, you know?! ”

Xue Shao laughed sullenly, "Go, go, I'm not a three-year-old child!" Really! ”

"If you're really a three-year-old, I'll worry about it!" Princess Taiping pursed her lips and whispered, "Don't think I don't know, men love to steal!" No matter how beautiful the women in the house are, they are not as tempting and exciting as the wild women outside! ”

Xue Shao was stunned, "Where did you learn all these clichΓ©s?" Enron, why don't you learn well! ”

"I'll hit you! How dare you say that about me! ”

"Okay, okay, don't make a fuss." Xue Shao said with a smile, "The envoy of the Middle Palace is waiting, don't let him see the joke." ”

Princess Taiping snorted, and then obediently boarded the car.

Linlang rode a horse and accompanied each other on the left and right of Princess Taiping's carriage, looking at Xue Shao with a faint look in her eyes, as if she was sighing: It's rare that Her Royal Highness the princess left home, but the two of us were escorts, it's really unlucky!

Princess Taiping's car finally left, and Xue Shao breathed a sigh of relief. I thought to myself, my relationship with Wu Zetian is really getting more and more complicated. If there is no princess Taiping to reconcile and act as a "lubricant", I don't know what kind of situation it will be. It's hard to guess what the purpose of the two empty boxes she sent was. Or rather, I guessed that I could be wrong...... Now let's see how Princess Taiping plays in front of her mother!

When night fell, Xue Shao soaked in the luxurious bathhouse, covered his face with a warm towel, and closed his eyes to recuperate.

Suddenly, he heard a slight footstep outside the door, and Xue Shao didn't need to open his eyes to see that this footstep sound that was as light as a cat's step but steady step by step only belonged to the moon slave with extraordinary martial arts.

She seemed to hesitate at the door, whether to make a noise or knock.

Xue Shao smiled secretly, deliberately pretending not to let her hang out of the door.

After a long time, the moon slave seemed to have given up knocking on the door and wanted to leave.

"Come in, waiter."

"Yes!" The moon slave replied neatly and excitedly.

Xue Shao couldn't help laughing, Princess Taiping is really worried, so many women in the family are eyeing me, and they want to steal from me all the time, where do I have the leisure to go out and fool around? ”

The moon slave came in, his eyes were shining, his face was red, but he didn't dare to look directly at Xue Shao. She took off her back to the essence, soaked lightly in the water, and slowly swam to Xue Shao's side.

"Childe, the moon slave is here."

Xue Shao hugged her into his arms, and as soon as he touched her body, the moon slave "sighed".

"As for it?" Xue Shao smiled.

Yue Nu was so embarrassed that his face turned red and he hurriedly buried his head in Xue Shao's arm, "Childe, Yue Nu wants to hurt you......"

A moment later, just as the moon slave was kissing Xue Shao's whole body in a hurry, a soft piano sound came from a distance.

The movements of the two of them stagnated at the same time, and they also thought of a person at the same time, Chen Xian'er.

This extraordinary skill and implicit sadness of the sound of the piano only belongs to Chen Xian'er.

Yuenu blinked, "Childe, why don't you ...... tonight"

"Do you still need to arrange my affairs?" Xue Shao said lightly.

"Moon slave never dare!" Yue Nu hurriedly confessed and said cautiously, "Yue Nu just thinks that Chen Xian'er has come to Chang'an alone thousands of miles away, and it has been so long since she passed through the door...... It's pathetic to think about! ”

Xue Shao frowned slightly and pondered for a moment, "I have my own arrangements." ”

"Yes, Childe."

……

Princess Taiping entered the palace and went straight to Wu Zetian's bedroom.

Wu Zetian had just taken a bath, and was lying on the couch habitually flipping through a book, ready to fall asleep. Hearing that Princess Taiping asked to see her, she couldn't help but smile and put the book down, "Let her in." ”

Princess Taiping personally came in with two brocade boxes, and knelt down in the hall with light steps and a smile on her face, "The emperor greets the queen mother!" Disturbing the queen mother's sleep so late at night, the emperor is guilty, please punish the mother! ”

"Okay, okay, you don't have to be so pretentious." Wu Zetian said with a smile, "Come here, come to Weiniang." ”

"Okay, I'm here!" Princess Taiping got up as soon as she was a child, sat down beside Wu Zetian with a smile and then snuggled in her arms, shaking the two boxes in her hand vividly, "Mother, do you think I brought you something good?" ”

Wu Zetian had already seen it and said with a smile: "Isn't this a gift from my mother to Xue Shao, how could you get it here?" ”

"Come and don't be rude!" Princess Taiping smiled and said, "Mother, just guess, what's in here?" ”

"Is it Xue Shao's return gift?" Wu Zetian said with a smile.

"Half right!" Princess Taiping proudly sold Guan Zi, "Mother, you might as well continue to guess, I bet you won't be able to guess!" ”

"What if I guessed correctly?"

"Then the emperor will sleep with you tonight and won't go home!"

Wu Zetian laughed, "This is not necessarily good. In the middle of the night, I'm going to cover you with a quilt myself. You kid, you have to sleep naked in spring, summer, autumn and winter, and you like to kick the quilt when you fall asleep! ”

"Mother, don't talk about these old things about children. Guess what! "Princess Taiping is coquettish.

"That's it, if you can't guess it for your mother, you can say it!" Wu Zetian said with a smile.

"Mother, look!" Princess Taiping directly opened the two boxes.

Wu Zetian took a closer look, "What is this?" ”

"These are two night pearls from Silla, called Kirin gall." Princess Taiping said, "This is what Xue Lang specially picked for his mother, is it beautiful?" ”

Wu Zetian tried to reach out and pick it up to take a look, but he got some red dye on his hand, so he was surprised: "Dyeed? β€œ

"Yes, Xue Lang painted it with his own hands!" Princess Taiping pursed her lips, "I blame him, why do you have to paint a good bead like this?" But he said that since it was given to the queen of heaven, it must be painted in such red! ”

"This box seems to have been altered, too." Wu Zetian smiled slightly, thoughtfully picked up a bead to be auspicious, and whispered in his mouth: "Red, red!" unicorn gall, put the central ......"

"Mother, I know!" Princess Taiping made a surprise gesture and said, "Is it brave and loyal, is it right?" ”

"Brave and faithful?" Wu Zetian smiled and said indifferently: "Two brave and loyal, isn't that just two hearts?!" ”

Princess Taiping's face suddenly changed greatly, and she was surprised: "Mother, why do you think so?" ”

"Isn't it?" Wu Zetian turned his head to look at Princess Taiping, with a complicated expression.

Princess Taiping's face was straight, and she said very seriously: "Mother, I know that Xue Lang must have done something to make you angry." I scolded him at home today, but he replied helplessly to me, 'I am a little loyal to the left, and I offend the queen of heaven on the right, and someone in the middle of the station will say that I am a treacherous and slick at both ends, what can I do?' What should I do? ’”

Wu Zetian frowned, "Did he really say that?" ”

"Mother, can the child still lie to you?" Princess Taiping said seriously, "Although I am married to Xue Shao, my mother will always be my mother, which no one can replace." Children are very naughty, but have children ever deceived their mothers since they were young? ”

Wu Zetian nodded thoughtfully, "I see." ”

"Mother, it's not easy for Xue Shao." Princess Taiping said cautiously, "My father is both his father-in-law and his own uncle; You are the child's mother, his mother-in-law, and his mentor...... Who is at fault? Knowing your mistakes can improve a lot! He is still shallow and not very sensible, if there is something wrong, you can teach him a lesson and scold him to wake up and change his ways, and that's it. Isn't my mother always magnanimous to the ministers, and if anyone makes a mistake, she always thinks about it first and then counts its faults. I don't believe it, my son-in-law is not as close as outsiders? ”

"You kid with sharp teeth and sharp mouth, today you are here to beg for Xue Shao's protection." Wu Zetian shook his head helplessly, picked up a red bead again, and smiled slightly, "Then for your sake, I accepted this bead!" - The other one, you can do it! ”

"Thank you, Mother!" Princess Taiping thanked her happily, and immediately picked up another bead and called, "Come on, wash and grind this bead into powder, and leave it for the queen of heaven to use for beauty!" ”.
