"Your Highness!"

It was already dark when Lady Liu walked in. The main hall of the General's Estate was brightly lit.

Princess Pingyang was wearing an jacket and her long hair was loose. She was holding a cup of hot water as she slowly drank it. Her eyes fell on the table in front of her. Hearing Lady Liu's voice, she did not turn her gaze away from the blueprints, daggers, and binoculars. She only asked, "Are you done with it?"

"The Tingfeng Hall have been tidied up, and Rugui and the servants have also been arranged."

Lady Liu replied respectfully. When she finished, she looked at Princess Pingyang who was still looking at the items on the table and asked softly, "What is Your Highness thinking?"

"Nothing."

Princess Pingyang raised her head, her eyes staring straight ahead, as though she was looking very close, but also as if she was looking very far away. Her fingers lightly swept across the diagrams, daggers, binoculars, and finally landed on the diagrams.

"Here."

She looked up at Sofia, wanting to say something, but then stopped. "What is it?"

"Does Your Highness want to re-value Mr. Xue?"

Princess Pingyang nodded. "This person is talented. Those with talent can be used as well."

"Liu thinks that this person's background is trustworthy. He can only trust a point."

"One point?"

"Exactly. This score was due to the arrival of the Southern and Northern Dynasties, as well as the fact that the aristocratic families' lineages had been seriously damaged and their records were incomplete. When my grandfather was here, he had the privilege of borrowing Chui family's lineage. Shay was one of the big names, the largest of which was the late Eastern Han Dynasty, which moved into Shu and was called Shu Shai. During the Southern and Northern Dynasties, the Huns changed their surname to Xue, and the Zhaoqian clan of the Purgatory Tribe changed its surname to Xue. Most of the Xue Family in the world stemmed from these three branches. Xue Youyangyan's family had moved away from Yongjia, and based on this, it should be from Shu Xue. However, Xue Youyang only said that he had moved away for a long time and could not be tested. He could not come up with any definitive explanation, so he believed only one point. Shu Xue is an ancestor of the Prominent Class Xue Family, if she can obtain confirmation from the Rivereast, she can be sure. "

Lady Liu explained confidently. Princess Pingyang listened quietly, and when she was done, she praised, "Liu's pedigree is excellent. Mister Liu has a good girl, and if she knows about it in the afterlife, she should be able to comfort her."

Lady Liu bowed and said, "Your Highness is too kind."

Princess Pingyang smiled as she shook her head and patted her wrist. "I don't care about Mr. Xue's origin, I'll only use him for talent. While aristocratic families had many talented and virtuous people, there were also many mediocre and unscrupulous goods. Mr. Xue is talented, of... I've even used sinners and robbers before, what is there to pay attention to? "Liu, birth cannot determine a person's talent. Being confined to one's birth will only restrict one's vision."

Lady Liu said indifferently, "Limit your vision. At the very least, a person from an aristocratic family would be more shameless than a poor person."

As he spoke, his tone was cold.

Princess Pingyang understood why she was acting this way. She smiled and patted the back of her hand. "Don't be stuck in the past and be stuck in your roots. People should always look forward."

"Your Highness is the Lord," Lady Liu said. Liu is a subordinate, so she should remind you not to make the same mistake and give her own suggestion. Liu is only doing her duty as a subordinate. "

Princess Pingyang was unperturbed. "Like Liu, I can't forget. Should I hate it for being born a woman?"

"Your Highness!"

Sofia dropped to one knee. Princess Pingyang waved her hand and pulled her up, looking at her coldly: "I am a woman, and even if I am Princess now, I will still be a woman of honor. Those people who started this incident with me were only there to survive. After that, when there were no more life threatening things to worry about, it was only natural for people to go higher and water to flow lower. This was simply human nature. People close to one another are like husband and wife. When great calamities come, they will only fly on their own, let alone a mob. "

"Without Your Highness, it would have been hard for those people to live. With your highness, they are the masters of tigers and wolves. Without your highness … "Hehe."

Lady Liu's tone was harsh.

Princess Pingyang said, "They were born poor and had no chance to learn or see. Naturally, they could only see the benefits before their eyes. "How far a person can go depends only on himself or herself. In the end, it is impossible to rely on others."

Lady Liu nodded heavily, her expression somewhat relaxed.

Princess Pingyang said, "In my opinion, Xue Youyang is someone with both talent and talents."

Lady Liu said, "Please explain, Your Highness."

Princess Pingyang said, "How is Xue Youyang treating people?"

Lady Liu replied, "Please be modest and courteous."

"How about manners?"

"Your words are not bad, but they have a certain quality to them. Although they are different from the disciples of the Central Plains, they can still be considered to have a sense of propriety."

Princess Pingyang's eyes were slightly closed as she said, "His manner of speaking and the way he treats others shows that he has a good education and is well-informed. This is his choice."

An educated man must be well-mannered. Lady Liu nodded in agreement.

Princess Pingyang continued:

"Second, Xue Youyang grew up in a foreign country and only came to the Central Plains after four years. "The ancients said that reading ten thousand books is inferior to traveling ten thousand miles. This person has a talent in his heart, and also has vast knowledge. He is definitely not someone who talks too much and boasts too much."

Book and Insight are two things to prove... Lady Liu suddenly understood.

Princess Pingyang's eyes lit up.

"Third, Xue Youyang has a good understanding and dabble in food, clothing, and daily activities. He is obviously not a man without worldly desires. Fourth, Xue Youyang's actions, whether it be Liu Zhengchun or licorice, are all sincere in his gratitude. He is obviously someone who repays kindness with gratitude and values righteousness."

Saying that, he looked at Lady Liu, "To me, Xue Youyang has other outstanding points, but this four points is already enough. Why didn't I use such a person? "

Lady Liu sincerely agreed, "Liu understands. It is already late, and time for Your Highness to go to bed. "This subordinate will take a look at the clothes that Clerk Xue was forced to make."

Princess Pingyang nodded and watched Lady Liu leave. Only then did she get people to turn off the lights and go to bed.

Lady Liu turned around and looked at the dark bedroom. Sighing, she turned around and headed to the only brightly lit place in the mansion. Inside, a group of maids were sewing clothes. You were in charge of cutting them, while I was in charge of sewing them.

"Sister Liu."

Seeing Lady Liu walk in, the maids bowed to her politely. Lady Liu waved her hand. "There's no need to be so polite. How many have you made?"

A maid came out and replied, "Reporting to Sister Liu, I have already sewed two pieces and cut the third one."

"Well, the weather is still cold, so His Highness's library still has some good furs. The third one is to make a fur coat for Clerk Xue. If it's not enough, we can continue to do it in the next few days."

"Here!"

The maidservants obeyed the order in unison. Just as Lady Liu was about to leave, she suddenly thought of Mr. Xue's short hair and hurriedly said, "Hat! And a hat, too. "

There were too many things to do. Lady Liu went to the library to pick out some furs. She simply picked out a few more people and dressed Clerk Xue in the middle of the night.
