After all the officials of the princess's mansion were dispersed, the prince said to Wei Zheng, ”Xuancheng has been accompanying me all the way. The journey is very tiring. Let's go down and have a rest first. My sister and I share the friendship of brothers and sisters. Xuancheng is not required to accompany me.”
”Here it is. I'm leaving. ”
Wei Zheng respectfully responded, saluted and retired.
Their subordinates all retired, leaving only their close servants to wait on them. Princess Pingyang told Chu Xue, ”make a cup of ginseng tea for the prince, and go to get tired.”
”Here it is.”
Chu Xue takes ginseng out of the cupboard and now slices it for brewing.
The prince sat down at the head of the throne and said to Princess Pingyang, ”A-Mei is much less than when I met in Chang'an last year. Weize pass is very miserable. Let's wait for the injury to be better. Go back to Chang'an. The sage has been thinking about her all the time. If a-mei can go home, the sage will be happy.”
There was a sense of concern in his words, but there was a dignified manner of elder brother in his manner, unconsciously with some command.
Princess Pingyang said: ”a few days ago, Erlang was the saint's envoy. He told the sage that he wanted me to return to Beijing. I have ordered his subordinates to prepare for returning to Chang'an. As soon as the successor arrives, he will set out to return to Chang'an. He is expected to spend a reunion year with the sage in Chang'an.”
”That's good.”
The crown prince praised: ”A-Mei is still young. When you return to Chang'an, you can ask the sage to choose a son-in-law for you and recruit a good son-in-law. The husband and wife will join hands to talk about the relationship between heaven and earth. It will be good for you in the future.”
Princess Pingyang lowered her head, neither speaking nor opposing. But she didn't want to see her son-in-law
Pingyang princess looked at her and said, ”the kindness of the elder brother is the best of my younger sister. However, her husband's words are still in my ear. How dare you get married and recruit your husband's son-in-law! Who dares to be my son-in-law? ”
The prince's expression was stagnant and said, ”it's just a foolish man's and a fool's wife's words. Why does A-Mei still keep it in mind? Nothing, you are a saint's legitimate daughter, gold and jade, how can you worry about marriage? Ah ye and Wei elder brother are here. Who do you want to be the emperor's son-in-law? You can say clearly that Aya and I will make decisions for you. ”
Pingyang Princess Yifu said, ”thank you very much. I'll talk about it after I go back to Chang'an.”
The prince nodded, his eyes full of complicated color, sighed: ”it has been many years since I heard my brothers and sisters call me a big brother.”
”It was sister Chen who made a mistake. Please forgive me.”
Princess Pingyang quickly pleaded guilty. The prince shook his head and sighed, ”you and I are brothers and sisters of a mother's compatriots. Why are we so divided? Are you and Erlang the same? ”
Princess Pingyang said, ”the eldest brother is the crown prince, for the sake of the crown prince. My younger sister dares not to transgress. Erlang is the king of Qin. He is just like me, so he can be called by his name. ”
After hearing this, the prince was silent for a moment, and then said, ”although you are not in Chang'an these years, you have been smart since you were young, and you have acted in accordance with the rules. It must be that the situation in Beijing cannot be concealed from you. Do you know about my affair with Erlang? ”
Said, eyes sharp stare at Pingyang princess, Pingyang princess also does not avoid, calm way: ”little sister knows.”
”However, who do you support?” the prince asked quickly
Princess Pingyang raised her head, looked directly at the prince, and asked directly, ”the prince is my elder brother, Erlang is my younger brother. The prince, Erlang and I are all my own. One mother is a compatriot. The palm and the back of the hand are flesh. The prince asks the minister sister so. How can she answer this question
The crown prince said in a sharp voice: ”you can answer what you think in your heart.”
Princess Pingyang stopped talking.
