Settled in the Tang Dynasty

Chapter 384 Brush a wave of goodwill

"Oh? What's the reason?"

The saint asked curiously with a smile.Xue Lang coughed, the embarrassment on his face became stronger, and he said: "When I was young, I was ignorant, impatient with trivial matters such as cooking, and always wanted to be lazy. Once my mother dragged me to the kitchen, I used this sentence Fooling my mother. After being heard by my father, my father quoted me in this way, and I was speechless. Then, my father criticized me and said that I should be rigorous in my studies, how can I disrespect the sages for my own needs, Taking meaning out of context, misinterpreting the articles of the sages? Such utilitarianism and rudeness make you a scholar in vain! I was educated and confessed that it was because I wanted to be lazy. From then on, I dare not speak nonsense again."

The sage laughed, and pointed at Xue Lang, seeming to find it quite amusing, and said with a smile, "It turns out that Youyang was also a naughty boy when he was young!"

Xue Lang cupped his hands in embarrassment, with the intention of begging for mercy.Both Princess Pingyang and King Qin had smiles on their faces. King Qin glanced at Xue Lang with all his thoughts, and turned to King Qi as if pointing—

King Qi's face flushed red again, but this time he was not angry, but ashamed.

After such a smile, the previous embarrassment naturally disappeared. The sage finished his meal happily, and said with a smile: "Thanks to Youyang, I have such a refreshing meal today. I know Youyang's hard work and filial piety. As a reward Youyang's eagerness to learn, rigorous academics...Come here, bring me the paperweight on my desk, and give it to Youyang!"

Seeing that Xue Lang was still ignorant, Princess Pingyang hurriedly said: "Father, that is your favorite paperweight..."

Xue Lang came to his senses and was about to speak when the sage raised his palm to stop Princess Pingyang from continuing, looked at Xue Lang with relief, and said with a smile: "Because it is something I love, so I want to give it to Youyang."

The sage said so, and others naturally have no room to comment. Qin Wang said enviously: "The paperweight on that side is carved from jasper, and the carving is extremely exquisite. I asked my father several times, but my father never gave up. Give it to me, I never thought it would be given to Youyang today... so enviable."

Xue Lang knew that with King Qin's power, there would be a lack of a paperweight, and the only thing he valued was because it was the stuff of a saint.He also understood that this was King Qin's tactful point, so he bowed and said, "Thank you for the gift of the sage. From now on, I will definitely put the paperweight in the study and use it a lot. I will live up to the gift of the sage today."

Everyone paused, King Qi looked at Xue Lang speechlessly, and couldn't help saying: "Xue Shilang, the things bestowed by the saints should be cherished."

Xue Lang was startled——

In his concept, if you really like and value the things given by others, shouldn't you use them for their purpose and use them often?
This upright performance directly amused the people present, the sage smiled and said: "It's okay, Youyang is upright and honest, treat the things bestowed by me, don't treat them as a shelf, and treat me with sincerity. Excellent!"

Xue Lang was overjoyed, smiled and bowed his hands and said: "What the sage said, this is what I think."

King Qi: "..."

If King Qi knew what EQ is, he would probably shed tears of sympathy for Xue Lang's nearly nonexistent EQ.It's so low, there's no one left!

However, if Xue Lang knew what was going on in King Qi's heart, he would definitely not be convinced!King Qi thought so, where did he put Su Han, who had a lower EQ than him?
Yes, that's right!Friends are used to cushion the back!
The saint happily went back to the harem.King Qi didn't seem to be angry anymore, and he didn't seem to be so displeased with Xue Lang anymore. King Qin bowed his hands to Xue Lang with a smile on his face, and went back to his residence.

In Renzhi Palace, there were many people and it was not convenient for Princess Pingyang to say anything to Xue Lang, so she just smiled at Xue Lang, although she never had the chance to say anything, the joy in her expression was never hidden.Xue Lang was very happy——

Does this mean that he performed well today?

Xue Lang smiled happily and went back to his residence.

The saint returned to the harem with a smile on his face, and when he reached the fork in the road, his footsteps suddenly stopped——

In the saint's harem, Zhang Jieyu was still in confinement for trespassing on the front palace, and was fined to copy the palace rules.This time the sage came to the Summer Palace to escape the summer heat, and he brought Yin Defei and Yuwen Zhaoyi with him.The saint originally wanted to go to Concubine Yin De, but when he came to a fork in the road, he suddenly changed his mind and went to Yuwen Zhaoyi.

"My concubine greets everyone."

"My son greets my father."

Yuwen Zhaoyi took her and the saint's son Shishilang, and the mother and son seemed to have just finished their meal.When the saint came in, he saluted immediately.

The sage waved his hands and smiled kindly: "Have you just finished feeding? Did Eleven Lang have a good meal today?"

Yuwen Zhaoyi said with a smile: "Today's dishes are quite refreshing. Eleventh Lang used a lot of them, and his appetite is much better than when he was in Chang'an. It is unexpected that the cooks in the Xia Palace have such excellent craftsmanship."

The sage laughed and said, "Where is the cook from the Summer Palace? Today's dishes are planned by Xue Lang, and the cook is the cook from his house."

Yuwen Zhaoyi showed surprise on his face: "Xue Lang? But the son-in-law handpicked by the saint for Pingyang, Xue Lang Xue Youyang, the Duke of Changping County and the right servant of the Ministry of Civil Affairs?"

Eleven Lang also asked in a childish voice: "Father said that he is the son-in-law of Sister Pingyang, the brother-in-law who gave Eleven Lang sweets?"

The saint nodded, and said kindly: "That's him. Does Eleven Lang remember him?"

Eleven Lang nodded, and said honestly, "Because my brother-in-law gave Eleven Lang delicious candy."

The saint raised his head and laughed, nodded the youngest son's bulging belly, and said with a smile, "It's because of the candy that I remember him! Well... Eleventh Lang eats so much, take him down for a walk to digest the food."

"Here!"

The nurse came up and took Shishilang out to digest food. After Shishilang saluted his parents, he obediently followed the nurse.After the child went out, the sage pulled Yuwen Zhaoyi into his arms with his hand.

Yuwen Zhaoyi snuggled into the arms of the sage, and asked with a smile, "Why are you all in such a happy mood today? What's the joy, can you tell me to listen to me, so that I can be happy with everyone?"

Thinking of the previous incident, the smile on the corner of the saint's mouth never stopped. Seeing Zhaoyi's questioning, he slowly told what happened just now.After listening, Yuwen Zhaoyi couldn't help praising: "From this point of view, this future son-in-law Xue is an open and sincere gentleman, with both talents and virtues, which is very rare."

The sage nodded, and couldn't help but said complacently: "I chose Xue Lang as Jianling's son-in-law. Now it seems that I know people and have a good eye for people! In the future, I will have the face to meet the queen!"

Yuwen Zhaoyi thought about it, and said with a smile: "The sage is wise."

Li Yuan smiled, got up with his arms around the beauty, and walked a few steps meaningfully to digest food after a meal, feeling quite happy.The summer life of the sage is quite comfortable with the company of beauties.

Nothing to say all night.On the second day, in the morning, the cavalry team of the saints fought with King Qi's team first, and the team of the saints won with four goals.

When the sage went to take a lunch break, Xue Lang only brought Changjian, and led by A Kou, he went outside the palace——

Princess Pingyang asked him to go out to find secluded visits together.
