Chapter 18: Shoko

The name of Chengxiang Palace is like a delicate daughter, but the actual building is not like this at all. This palace complex located on the west bank of Taishuichi Lake is composed of three main halls, with simple doors and windows, solemn and generous.

The huge building looks grand, rigorous and cheerful at first glance.

But this symmetrical and well-behaved palace doesn't feel dull at all. The flying bridge is in mid-air, and the graceful arc is like a rainbow that is sunny after the rain.

Various lively patterns and grand subjects are natural, and they do not feel pretentious at all.

It is like a noble and beautiful woman, dignified but vivid, with a timeless taste...

When Xue Chongxun walked on the steps, he couldn't help but sigh again. China is really a great era at this time.

He walked slowly into the front hall under the eunuch's lead. The vermilion pillars were printed into his eyes, with a carpet in the middle and no pillars, making the space in the hall look wider.

I saw Princess Taiping sitting upright on the top of the collapse. Her hair was wearing a glittering golden phoenix crown, and the exquisite decoration was lifelike. When Xue Chongxun saw it for the first time, a sound suddenly sounded in his mind: Just like under the blue sky and white clouds, a phoenix raised its proud head and screamed...

Everything is an illusion.

You are becoming less and less arrogant!

Taiping said with a stern face.

Her words and deeds were slow and meticulous, just like a stage play that she had rehearsed many times. Even the stretching of her fingers had a graceful and noble flavor.

Ruxue's plump skin, noble appearance, and arrogant words and deeds. Such a woman is actually her own mother?

Xue Chongxun was a little dazed for a moment...

But Taiping could pretend to scold her, but his eyes deceived her. Xue Chongxun saw the concern in the water waves, and he looked like a mother.

Xue Chongxun felt that he had become a rebellious child. When Princess Taiping scolded him, the corners of his mouth broke and he showed a bad smile.

Seeing this, Princess Taiping widened her eyes and was stunned.

Xue Chongxun said: When I was outside, I often dreamed of my mother. I was really afraid that I would not see you anymore.

Princess Taiping looked strange after hearing this, and the jewelry hanging on her ears swayed gently due to the shaking of her body. She stopped scolding her, such a mother was not long-winded.

She was moved and lost her composure. She pursed her red lips, as if she wanted to laugh, but she tried her best to hold it back.

Xue Chongxun's black face showed a sunny smile: Mother, we are a family, don't hold it back and just laugh if you want to.

Taiping indeed raised his sleeves and covered his face with the bright red silk. His body trembled slightly... Only in front of this son can she do this and can do this.

She said to herself: No matter what wrong he did, I will forgive him. Who said he was my son?

After a while, she sat upright, her eyes shining, but she raised her face and said: I will settle accounts with you in two days, don’t think I can spare you!

She paused and said: Don’t go home first, just stay with me for a few days to rest, don’t think about anything... Let’s have a meal together tonight.

Xue Chongxun said with a smile: Then I can’t make my mother angry anymore, otherwise I won’t have dinner.

……

In fact, he just came back from afar and wanted to go back to his home.

People have a strange mindset that they can only get complete relaxation and rest in their own space.

The Daming Palace and Chengxiang Palace are much more luxurious than Xue Chongxun's mansion. This place can be said to be the most luxurious and comfortable place in the world today, but Xue Chongxun still doesn't feel relaxed when staying in this place.

However, he still lived. He didn't want to be disconnected from his mother, especially when the hidden dangers have not been lifted yet. At the same time, Princess Taiping should be leaving him to express a kind of maternal love, and Xue Chongxun had no reason to hurt her heart.

Under this dual reason of scheming and emotion, Xue Chongxun pretended to be happy intentionally.People always do such things, how can they do whatever they want at any time?

The person responsible for serving Xue Chongxun's daily life was Cheng Ting, the tribe members of Cheng Qianli, the governor who held more than 30,000 elite soldiers in Hexi Town...

This woman also made him feel uncomfortable. The characters involved in military and political relations have a subtle effect, and Xue Chongxun could not feel relaxed.

The only time to relax is to soak in a large wooden bucket at night, soaking all over in warm water, making it indescribable.

But it's still not as good as the sauna in Mengyunzhai...

I really miss Ah.

Xue Chongxun likes that thing very much, but he is also very restrained in normal times because he knows that saunas are too frequent and prone to infertility, but sometimes he can't control the temptation and thinks: Fuck, is this Tang Dynasty and me related?

The warm water was lying softly there, and the sweat of summer was completely scattered, clean to the depths of the pores.

I smelled the faint fragrance floating on the road of the incense burner in my nose. When I closed my eyes, it seemed that it was not in summer, but in spring when flowers bloomed. The colorful purples and reds competed for each other, and everything was very beautiful.

He let out a long sigh and felt the footsteps outside the sliding door. It should be Cheng Ting, so he said: Get me a towel.

After a while, he heard a sound of pulling the door, and he stood up from the bucket.

There was a sound behind him. It was probably because Cheng Ting had touched something in panic. Xue Chongxun's mouth showed a smile.

Serve me to change my clothes.Xue Chongxun ordered in an unquestionable tone.What kind of Cheng Qianli, who holds military power, isn’t the power my mother gave him? I’m still afraid?

After a while, Xue Chongxun saw no movement and thought to himself that she didn't touch her last time when she saw her crying, and she really forgot her identity?He couldn't help but say a little angrily: Didn't you hear me?

Cheng Ting finally came over and gently placed it on Xue Chongxun's back with a towel.Xue Chongxun felt her fingers trembling, and her back was as light as willow catkins and as slow as a rabbit eating grass.

Damn it, it’s really not as good as an ordinary slave who can serve others. Do you have to wipe it until tomorrow?Let me just stand like this and dry it!Xue Chongxun then turned around and snatched the towel from her hand...

He was shocked and his face turned as white as paper.

I only saw that the person standing in front of me was Princess Taiping!

Princess Taiping's expression was extremely panicked, and she was stunned and at a loss.

She looked like a little girl who had done something wrong, both afraid and ashamed.

Xue Chongxun said in a slight manner: Why...why is it my mother?His family fell to the ground. My son offended you, please give up the punishment.

Taiping's face quickly regained his calmness. He grabbed the clean white clothes beside him and threw them on Xue Chongxun, and said lightly: I heard you call someone to take a towel, but there was no one here, so I took it over.I didn't expect you to misunderstand that I was a slave, so I did such an rude thing. Those who don't know are innocent. Besides, I am your mother, it doesn't matter, forget it.Put on your clothes and come out, I have something to tell you.

Xue Chongxun's expression was even worse than crying, so he had to kowtow and said: Yes.

After Princess Taiping went out, Xue Chongxun came to the door and hurriedly put on his clothes.While dressing, he thought about what happened just now, and he quickly figured it out, which was indeed a misunderstanding.

He thought to himself: Maybe he was traveling through time, so he felt strange to his mother and was easy to think too much; Princess Taiping was very calm...

My mother obviously cherishes family affection so much, but she always has to think about obscene things.

Xue Chongxun suddenly felt that his heart was really dirty.

Soon he walked out of the bathroom wearing a loose and breathable robe. He saw Princess Taiping sitting on the couch in the middle, with her straight neck still arrogant, and was leisurely holding up the tea cup.

Xue Chongxun walked up to him quickly and bowed and said, "My son, please ask your mother for your safety."

Princess Taiping glanced gently at the side and said lightly: Sit down and talk.

Yes, my son is rude.Xue Chongxun still felt a little embarrassed, so he was so angry that he was just talking about official voice.

A sneer appeared on the corner of Princess Taiping's mouth and a snorted from her nose.

Xue Chongxun hurriedly smiled and said: Mother, my body is pretty good, right?I often exercise, well... In ancient times, scholars and officials knew at least six arts, and their sons did not dare to slack off for a moment...

You still said!Princess Taiping suddenly said angrily, "What's the point of being big or small?"I'll spare you, don't mention it again!

... Xue Chongxun hurriedly said, Yes.

The two fell into silence again. After a moment, Xue Chongxun said: What should I explain to my mother?

Princess Taiping frowned and lowered her head to ponder, as if she had forgotten what she was going to say.She said: Forget it, I won’t talk about the serious business today. It’s rare for us mother and son to talk about gossip.

Xue Chongxun couldn't help but sigh in his heart and said: Yes.

There was another silence, and suddenly I said I was going to chat, but I couldn’t find the topic, and the sad family relationship.Xue Chongxun had no choice but to say: My son is just about to report to his mother if he has something to do.

After saying that.Taiping gently took off the golden fingertip on his finger and did some trivial matters there.

Xue Chongxun hurriedly told the story of being plotted against by Jiang County Magistrate in Dahua City. He finally returned to Tang Realm, but was stabbed by his own people. This is the most critical thing I have encountered.If it weren't for the rescue of Tuyuhun's little girl, she would have known a hole. I was really unable to fly at that time and would definitely die...

Taiping was furious and said majestic: Is the county magistrate named Jiang in Dahua County?I will report that the Ministry of Personnel will verify this person in a while and that he must punish his nine clans!

Xue Chongxun said: This person knew the consequences were serious, but he wanted to take this risk. If he had no great purpose, he would never have done such a thing... Mother, Li Sanlang's whereabouts...

Taiping frowned and pondered: Li Longji is so capable?At this point, he still refused to admit defeat?

Xue Chongxun hurriedly advised: People's hearts are not on our side.

Taiping's face suddenly showed a tired look and nodded and said: I know, so I let King Fen come back to succeed the throne.I have never planned to retake your grandmother's path, and this path is no longer accessible...
