Chapter 492: Which princess

Mrs. Changsun smiled and said, "Oh, look at Lao Shi's mouth. Your uncle told Lao Shi to not let Lao Shi say it, but Lao Shi still missed it. It's really inappropriate!"

She said with a long mouth, but she had no intention of regret on her face. Instead, she was proud, as if she enjoyed Wang Ping'an's surprised expression!

Wang Ping'an said in a daze: "What does that son-in-law mean?" Northerners call son-in-law son-in-law, of course he knows this, but this is the Tang Dynasty. Whether son-in-law represents son-in-law is not necessarily the case. There are different names in various places, so he has to ask!

Mrs. Changsun still smiled and said, "Did Laoshen say "Son-in-law? You must have heard it wrong, so Laoshen didn't say it!" While speaking, she corrected the golden crown for Wang Ping'an and said, "When you enter the palace, don't kneel down when you see someone. Not everyone in the palace can stand your worship, you have to hold on to the air. Your eyes should be like this, you look at Laoshen... Oh, just follow your uncle's usual eye theology. Don't think that there are too many people in the palace. Don't be too proud of them. They are almost the same for you to curry favor with you!"

Wang Ping'an was a little confused and said, "How do you look at people normally?"

Mrs. Changsun exclaimed and said, "That's it!" As she said, she imitated Changsun Wuji's appearance, looked ahead with her eyes, and never looked at both sides. There were a large group of maids and servants in the room, but in her eyes, she turned a blind eye like an ant!

Wang Ping'an blinked and said, "Do you want to do it? Is there only you in my eyes?"

Mrs. Changsun was overjoyed and clapped her hands, "Oh, good nephew, I am really smart and I can't explain things clearly, but you can understand them at all. Yes, I want to do this. I only have you in my eyes, and I'm right!"

She pushed Wang Ping'an and said, "Go out and show your uncle and let him give you two tricks. You must not lose your etiquette tonight. It's okay to forget it, but it's absolutely not tonight!"

Mrs. Changsun pulled Wang Ping'an to the front hall. Changsun Wuji was sitting in the hall, with a thick stack of gift lists placed in front of the table. He was looking at the gift list, shaking his head while looking, as if he didn't want to accept these gifts.

"Master, look at your good nephew!" Mrs. Changsun smiled.

Changsun Wuji raised his head, smiled on his face, looked at Wang Ping'an's appearance, and smiled, "This is almost the same, very good, very good!" He raised his hand and touched his beard. Looking at his appearance, he actually enjoyed Wang Ping'an's at a loss expression.

Wang Ping'an said: "Why did you dress like this when Uncle Changsun and your nephew enter the palace? Why don't you wear official uniforms?"

Changsun Wuji smiled and said, "It's not a big banquet in the court, so you should wear official uniforms. Staying up to the New Year is the family's business, so you naturally have to wear casual clothes!"

After nodding, he said again: "Come on, prepare some rewards for the nephew. You reward people after entering the palace, don't use small things. Of course, you are not a small thing either!" The latter sentence said to Wang Ping'an.

Wang Ping'an stood in the hall at a loss and thought to himself: "Why is the son-in-law going to see his father-in-law? But I am not the prince-consort!"

The servants prepared a small bag of copper coins, all of which were made of new copper coins, shining golden and beautiful. They let Wang Ping'an put them in his arms and keep them in the palace to reward people.

Everything was about to stop. Changsun Wuji ordered people to prepare horses and said to Wang Ping'an: "Today you have to ride a horse, don't take a car. Well, it's best to run on the road. When you enter the palace, you will sweat a little, your face will be red. That's what you like and show your masculine spirit. You are a person who has led the army. Don't look sick and make people look down on you!"

Wang Ping'an hurriedly said, "Yes, my nephew will definitely run!" He didn't know what to say, so he would just keep saying yes.

Changsun Wuji personally sent Wang Ping'an out. There were long rows of people sitting outside the Prime Minister's Mansion, all of whom came to flatter. There were definitely more than a thousand people who gave gifts.

When the gifts outside saw Changsun Wuji coming out, they stood up together and shouted flatteringly: "Chaosun Prime Minister, I'm here to greet you." When they saw Wang Ping'an coming out together, they shouted: "Prince, Oh, you are here too! Prince, it's a good New Year!"

My old man, when did I get this title? Wang Ping'an turned to look at Changsun Wuji. Hey, the look that Mrs. Changsun learned just now was undoubtedly revealed on Changsun Wuji's face.

I only have you in my eyes, and others are little ants!

Changsun Wuji didn't even glance at these flattering people, but just looked at Wang Ping'an without looking at him! Changsun Wuji asked Wang Ping'an to ride a horse, and the horse was actually a red one, a big red horse!

After taking the cage handed over by the servant, Changsun Wuji handed the goose cage to Wang Ping'an and said, "Hold it, you have to hold the pair of geese in person and hand it to the emperor's hand. You can't let go halfway, and you can't even put the cage on the ground when you kneel down... Well, you don't need to pay attention to this, Shi Zhongchen will tell you what to do."

Wang Ping'an took the geese cage and said in a daze: "Then, my nephew is here!"

"Go, go!" Changsun Wuji waved goodbye to him, and suddenly said, "Don't kneel down when you see others, some people can't stand your gift!"

Wang Ping'an turned around and replied, thinking: "Of course I won't kneel down when I see anyone. There is no need to give this a special reminder. Why do they both want to say it again?"

The people waiting to flatter in the alley, seeing Wang Ping'an's outfit and holding a geese cage, they all smiled and bowed to him, shouting loudly!

After leaving the alley, Wang Ping'an turned to the avenue. Before he could walk far away, he saw several people running towards the road, which were Di Renjie and Ouyang Li.

Di Renjie's cheeks were flushed with cold, and he shouted, "Brother, why did you come out? I've been waiting for you for a long time."

Wang Ping'an held the big red horse and said, "Hey, why are you here?"

Di Renjie said: "After returning to Inspiration Temple, we waited for you for a long time. Seeing that you had not come back, we came out to inquire and learned that you had come to Lord Changsun's mansion, but we couldn't enter the mansion, so we had to wait for you here."

He looked at Wang Ping'an's dress in surprise and the geese cage in his hand, and said, "Brother, are you going to ask for a marriage? You actually went to ask for it yourself, no need to matchmakers? Who are you going to ask for a marriage? Why haven't I heard you say anything about it?"

Wang Ping'an was even more shocked. He jumped off his horse, pulled Di Renjie aside, and said, "What? I am going to propose marriage, why did I become a prostitute?"

Di Renjie opened his mouth wide and couldn't close it. After a while, he said, "Didn't your brother go to propose marriage? Why are you carrying a geese cage? Gifts like wild geese are not given casually, they can only be given when asking for marriage!"

Did there be such a kind of qualities in the Tang Dynasty? Wang Ping'an never knew it before! He picked up the geese cage and looked at it, and said, "Is it the one who sent wild geese to ask for marriage?"

Di Renjie thought to himself: "No, brother, you are very knowledgeable, how could you not even know this custom?" He pointed to the geese in the cage and said: "I promised birds to lay geese and matched with deer skin! This is one of the betrothal gifts a man gave when he proposed to a woman, and it was the first gift... But without deer skin, this would seem insincere. Who are you going to?"

Wang Ping'an said with a stuttering voice: "I, I want to go to the emperor's house! It was General Shi asked me to take the wild geese there, and Lord Changsun personally prepared it for me. Why did this become a proposal for marriage? Who am I asking for marriage? Didn't I go to stay up to the New Year?"

"The Emperor asked you to go to the palace to stay with him for the New Year, and bring a pair of wild geese there by the way?" Di Renjie was overjoyed, regardless of the fact that he was on the street, and shouted: "Brother, you want to be the princess, which princess is it?"

Wang Ping'an almost sat on the ground, and he said, "I, I don't know, I don't know that I'm going to ask for a marriage!" He shook his body, Ouyang Li and the others rushed forward and supported him.

Regardless of what Wang Ping'an said, Ouyang Li and others said in unison: "Master, are you going to be the prince consort?"

Wang Ping'an said blankly: "I want to be the prince consort? Why don't I know about this?" He said what Changsun and his wife said to him.

Di Renjie thought for a while and said, "So that's it. No wonder I didn't ask my elder brother to bring deer skin. It seems that the emperor wanted to recruit you as the princess, but he didn't explain which princess it was. It probably was someone who disagreed... It was not necessarily someone who disagreed, but wanted the princess to see you by herself. So as long as you take the geese and don't ask you to bring deer skin, if the princess looks down on you, there is room for maneuver!"

Ouyang Li and the others were ecstatic, but said from the side: "Mr. Changsun has prepared a reward for the master? I only give copper coins, it is too small. I have brought golden gourd seeds, master, you bring them with me!"

As they spoke, each of them took out a bag from their arms, and some even took out two, all filled with golden seeds.

Wang Ping'an uttered, saying, "Why are you all bringing so much gold on you?"

Ouyang Li smiled and said, "It's the New Year, isn't this for the master? We will give you a reward with a wave of your hand. I don't expect that the gold can be used to enter the palace!"

"Take it, take the red paper bag!" Wang Ping'an's head was like paste, just mechanically instructing.

Ouyang Li and others hurriedly ran away to find red paper. It is now during the Chinese New Year, and most of the shops have preparations.

Di Renjie was still analyzing. What he was best at was analysis and said: "Brother, parents have always been the masters of marriage. If ordinary families are like this, let alone the royal family. Since the emperor intends to recruit you as the princess and wants the princess to see you, and does not directly point out the marriage, it means that the emperor loves that princess very much! Which princess is the emperor's favorite? Can't you guess who it is directly?"

Wang Ping'an murmured: "Which princess is the most favored? Could it be Princess Gaoyang... Ah, she has married. With Fang Yiai, the princess, it must be not her. So, then... who is it?" He had already thought of who it was, but he didn't say it.
