Chapter 70 Gao Yang's Entanglement
A few days have passed, and everything is as usual.
The farce of Princess Gaoyang committed suicide by jumping into the river, the aftermath gradually faded, and Li Shimin never mentioned it to Qin Mubai. Even Li Junxian, who has always been the most gossipy and likes to preach to Qin Mubai, did not mention this matter. It can be seen that those maids and soldiers who knew the inside story guarded their mouths very well. At least, I didn't make this matter very evil and exaggerate it.
This made Qin Mubai feel much more relaxed.
In these days, Princess Gaoyang may have been repeatedly taught by Li Shimin and Yin Defei, or she has recovered from her illness, so she has become much more honest and basically disappeared from Qin Mubai's sight.
A good phenomenon is that Li Zhi and Li Mingda are becoming more and more fond of Qin Mubai, and even a little attached to him. According to the wet nurse and the maids, the two little guys often get up in the middle of the night and shout "want the village head", otherwise they will cry and refuse to sleep. Once Li Zhi was sick and had a fever. He didn't sleep all night and talked nonsense, which scared Li Shimin.
Li Zhi's nonsense is interesting. Most of them are related to Pleasant Goat and Grey Taro, and the other half is calling Qin Mubai's name and asking him to protect himself.
The royal doctor gave the injection and took the medicine, and Li's illness did not improve for a while. In desperation, Li Shimin sent someone to invite Qin Mubai in the middle of the night to serve him in front of Li Zhi's sickbed.
Qin Mubai first held Li Zhi's hand and chatted with him for a while, told a story, and then played the pipa for a while. Then a miracle happened - Li Zhi gradually subsided his fever and his mind was clear. But he refused to let Qin Mubai go back, saying that there was Hui Taro in his dream that he wanted to grab him and eat him. He grabbed Qin Mubai's hand and slept all night.
The imperial doctor's acupuncture is naturally effective, and Qin Mubai's psychotherapy also has a miraculous effect. The next day, Li's body recovered.
After this incident, Li Zhi simply regarded Qin Mubai as his "protector" and could not leave him. The little guy is also very righteous. What delicious food is there? The first one wants to save half for Qin Mubai. No matter what Qin Mubai says, he always listens to him. Those wet nurses and palace maids can't persuade Li Zhi to go to bed obediently or go to his husband's place to study on time. As long as Qin Mu has a word, Li Zhi must be obedient.
Under the influence of Li Zhi, his little follower and sister Li Mingda treated Qin Mubai the same attitude.
Later, even Li Shimin was a little jealous - as a father, why am I not as popular as Qin Mubai in front of the two little guys?
As a result, Li Shimin has more trust in Qin Mubai.
On the other side of Xianju Hall, Princess Gaoyang sent a maid of honor to invite several times, but Qin Mubai found an excuse to push it away and never went there again. Although the emperor gave him the privilege to enter and exit anywhere in the harem at will, there are still some taboos to pay attention to. Going there once is a visit. If you go there often... that's a trick.
There are some things that everyone knows: most of the emperor's women are cold and lonely. What does it mean that you, a complete, young and vigorous man, always run to Yin Defei?
Qin Mubai has a deep understanding of the principle that Guatian does not accept Li Xia's not complete crown - although Yin Defei, a mature and beautiful woman, is very attractive to him, she is definitely not the object of her fantasy. It's better not to make such a joke.
Life is calm and unchanged. Qin Mubai felt a little bored and tired. Although it is very easy to deal with Li Zhi and Li Mingda now, the work of taking care of children is more heartless than leading the army, and this is not Qin Mubai's favorite job.
In recent days, he has always wanted to ask Li Shimin for a leave and go home to rest for a few days. Counting the days, I haven't taken a vacation for a month or two. In addition to managing the military affairs of Baiqi, I have to spend a lot of mental energy to take care of the two little children, but I'm really a little tired.
At noon that day, Qin Mubai took a nap in the imperial garden as usual. Although Li Zhi "very enthusiastically" invited Qin Mubai to take a nap with him in the bedroom, Qin Mubai did not dare to agree - that was to sleep in the harem. Such a thing was not what a minister could do.
Sleeping in a daze, Qin Mubai was awakened by a crisp call from a distance: "Hey--"
This voice is so familiar!
Qin Mubai opened his eyes, and sure enough - it was Princess Gaoyang.
She seemed to have learned the lesson that she almost was attacked by a knife last time. This time she stood ten meters away and called him.
Qin Mubai yawned and got up: "Your Highness, is there anything to find a humble position?"
Princess Gaoyang took a few personal maidservants and came in a hurry. She seemed to have an unhappy look on her face, pouted, and looked at Qin Mubai quite dissatisfiedly.
"What's wrong? Did I do anything to offend my father-in-law?" Qin Mubai asked carefully. This deviant little devil really can't be provoked. It's the best way to stay away from her.
"What, have you forgotten?" Princess Gaoyang snorted softly, "Say, why do I pass it on to you so many times that you don't go to Xianju Hall?"
Qin Mubai winked. Princess Gaoyang asked the maidservants to retreat a little, and then he said, "Your Highness, do you really understand or are you confused? Who lives in the Xianju Hall? ...Is that the place I can often go? Guatian doesn't accept the shoes, and Li Xia doesn't take the crown. I should avoid suspicion!"
"Well, I knew you would make such a statement!" Princess Gaoyang looked at Qin Mubai angrily, but she was not really angry. She said in an urn, "Then what should you do if you promised to teach me about the pipa?"
"Tep, you must do what you say." Qin Mubai smiled and said, "Recently, I have been teaching the Pipa of the King of Jin and Princess Jinyang in the Royal Garden every morning. Come with me!"
"I don't!" Princess Gaoyang resolutely refused.
"Why?"
"No, just no!" Princess Gaoyang put her elbows on her hands and looked like a proud peacock. She said, "I want you to teach me alone and specially!" I don't want to be a partner for Phennu and Yanzi!"
"Oh, I'm jealous again." Qin Mubai smiled and said, "Ok, okay. Then come to the Royal Garden at noon every day. I'll teach you half an hour.
"No." Princess Gaoyang is still resolute, "In such a hot weather, who is in the mood to play the pipa with you at noon? I want you to teach me in the willow forest by the Yuqiao River after you pay your errands every evening. At that time, the weather was not hot, and the cool breeze by the Yushui River was calm and quiet. How suitable it was to learn the pipa!"
"..." Qin Mubai was speechless for a moment and shook his head.
"You are always pushing three obstacles. What do you mean?" Princess Gaoyang frowned and looked at Qin Mubai with anger and a little disappointment.
"Your Highness, it's not me pushing three obstacles... Think about it, there is no one by the Yushui Bridge in the middle of the night. What's the style of playing the pipa of a lonely man and a widow?" Qin Mubai said, "The etiquette in the palace is strict. It's better not to go beyond it."
"Where do you think you are! What, what are the lonely men and women?" Princess Gaoyang blushed for a moment and hurriedly pleaded, "I will naturally bring the maids of honor to accompany me. There are also soldiers who often come and go to Yuqiao. What's wrong with this open bullet pipa? - You don't have to say it. I've made up my mind. You can do it!"
After saying that, Princess Gaoyang turned around gorgeously, stamped her feet, and left angrily.
Qin Mubai scratched his head depressedly: This little devil is really hard to deal with! Why did you mess with me? Is it possible that I have an old problem again - encountering peach blossoms? ...It's better not to be like this. I'm not interested in such a strange, tricky and hot-tempered young lady like Princess Gaoyang. In addition, I don't want to be the second lover of the house, and I don't want to be the second monk who has been cut in half! After all, when I was a messenger beside the emperor, I hooked up with the princess. No matter what the twists and turns of the matter was, it must have been an uproar that attracted countless words and criticisms, and Li Shimin probably won't forgive me.
In a word, the little devil is not a good stubble, and there is no harm in getting away from her.
But she has pasted it now... What should I do?
It's really an unprecedented... woman's trouble.
In the afternoon, he took Li Zhi and Li Mingda to Yu Shinan to study. Qin Mubai was also a little careless and had been thinking about a way to solve the big trouble of Princess Gaoyang. Yu Shinan's old eyes seemed to be able to pierce people's hearts. He smiled and asked, "Mu Bai seems to be worried today!"
Qin Mubai smiled awkwardly and said, "In my husband's words, students do have some private troubles, and there is no way to solve them."
"Why don't you talk about it?" Yu Shinan said with a smile.
Qin Mubai has always respected and trusted Yu Shinan, a teacher with outstanding knowledge and character, but when it comes to the princess and the privacy of the royal family, Qin Mubai still doesn't want to talk about Yu Shinan. So he said, "It's just a little trivial matter. I dare not say it to stain my husband's eyes and ears."
Yu Shinan nodded and smiled, "In fact, many troubles come from the heart. The more complicated the mind is, the more troubles there will be. Especially when working beside the emperor and in this harem, it is inevitable to worry about gains and losses. Mu Bai, if you are straight, you don't have to worry too much. Just be more open-minded, generous, and concentrate on doing things with a clear conscience.
For a while, Qin Mubai felt a little enlightened - yes! When people are in the flowers, how can they really keep their clothes clean? Even if you don't mean it, those flowers and plants will get involved. Therefore, the troubles of peach blossom luck will definitely accompany you, unless you leave this place of right and wrong. However, since you can't leave for a while now, it's better to be more open-minded, as Yu Shinan said. You don't have to worry about gains and losses all the time.
"Mr. Xie's advice, the students wrote it down." Qin Mubai bowed his hand gratefully.
"Ha ha, I didn't teach you anything." Yu Shinan waved his hand with a smile, "You just think about it by yourself."
Qin Mubai breathed a long sigh of breath in his heart: Yu Shinan accompanied the kings of the two dynasties and has always been close ministers. Naturally, he served the emperor a lot and came into contact with an environment like me. His experience in doing things is really useful to me!
Well, little devil, since you have to paste it, I won't escape. Isn't it just teaching Pipa? It's not cheating and falling in love or hiding to practice some yin and yang acacia. What's the big deal? I'll teach it!
