Chapter 74 Elopement

The next morning, when Qin Mubai saw Li Shimin, he said that he wanted to rest for a few days. Li Shimin thought for a moment and nodded: "If you don't mention it, I'm going to give you a few days off. After all, it's not good that you haven't been home for a month or two. However, you have to find a way to convince Phennu and Yanzi. These two little guys can't leave you for a moment now. If you suddenly disappear for a few days, why don't you cry endlessly?

"Your Majesty, don't worry, I can cook by myself." Qin Mubai said with a smile.

Li Shimin also nodded with a smile: "You have really done a good job these days. Phennu and Zi have completely come out of the shadow of their mother's death, becoming more and more lively and cheerful. You are indeed a great contributor. In addition, I found that the pheasant slave, who has always been timid, has become much braver under your influence, which is a good phenomenon. When you come back from your vacation, you can consider teaching him some martial arts! This boy has been weak since he was a child and needs to be tempered. I will give you this important task again.

"Weichen obeys the order." Qin Mubai bowed his hand to Ying Nuo and thought to himself: It seems that Li Shimin is quite satisfied with my recent performance and has given me a new task. Previously, he just regarded me as Li Zhi and Li Mingda's bodyguard and playmate, but now he deliberately let me become Li Zhi's 'teacher' to teach him martial arts. In terms of identity nature, this is a big step forward.

Good things and good things can become the 'teacher' of the future emperor of the Tang Dynasty. This is a good thing that can't be met!

After saying this, Li Shimin was about to board the dragon's carp. Suddenly, he remembered something and stopped. He also called Qin Mubai aside and said solemnly, "Mubai, Gao Yang has always liked to mess around. Don't be at her mercy. Just concentrate on your job and ignore everything else. If she embarrass you, you can tell me directly. I'll help you deal with her."

"Uh...yes." This was a little beyond Qin Mubai's expectation, and he didn't have time to think about it for a while, so he had to make a promise.

"Well, that's good. You can start your vacation this evening. Don't take too long, lest Phennu and Yanzi miss you too much... Well, just four days, according to the military rules of Baiqi. Li Shimin smiled and said, "Don't blame me for being harsh on you. Those two little guys really can't leave you. With you, I don't know how easy it is. It's more reassuring to deal with government affairs. Mu Bai, don't underestimate your current errand. You are actually worrying for me!"

"These are all things that we should do." Qin Mubai smiled and bowed his hand.

"Greetings to your father and mother on my behalf." After saying that, Li Shimin went to the car and left.

Qin Mubai breathed a sigh of relief: Well, you can finally take a breath and rest for two days. However, what was the purpose of Li Shimin's sudden talk about Princess Gaoyang just now?

He is a "alarm". Let me keep a distance from her and not play too much?

Whatever. Anyway, I don't plan to get too close to Princess Gaoyang and play anything ambiguous. If it hadn't been for this little girl pestering me, she had just helped me a lot, and now it's a little helpful for me. I can't wait to be ten thousand feet away from her.

Later, Qin Mubai came to Penglai Hall as usual. Li Zhi and Li Mingda have got up early recently. After listening to Qin Mubai's words, they get up every morning to "exercise" and run in the royal garden. When Qin Mubai arrived, the two little guys were already panting and sweating profusely. Seeing him, he rushed over like a chicken to see a hen. He scrambled to ask him for praise, saying how many laps he ran today and how much better than yesterday.

Qin Mubai praised and encouraged them for a while, and then took them back to the hall to bathe and change clothes with his wet nurse, and then had breakfast together.

Dong the meal, Qin Mubai looked at the two little guys in a good mood and said to them, "Your Highness, I seem to be a little sick..."

"Ah, is the village head sick?" Li Zhi and Li Mingda stopped their chopsticks and said in surprise. Now, they all call Qin Mubai the "village head".

"Mother, call the imperial doctor quickly!" Li Zhi shouted in a hurry.

"Village head, touch, is your forehead hot?" Li Mingda moved over and stretched out his little hand to touch Qin Mubai's forehead.

"Ha ha!" Qin Mubai took Li Mingda's hand and smiled, "It's not a serious illness, but I haven't come home for a month or two in a row. I'm a little homesick and miss my parents. Also, I feel a little tired and want to sleep in, haha!"

Although Li Zhi and Li Mingda are young, they are not stupid, and they have always been generous and talkative. Hearing what Qin Mubai said, they said one after another, "The village head will go home and rest for a few days to visit his parents and sleep in!" We are very conscious that we will get up early every day to exercise, practice the pipa well, and go to my husband's place to read and write on time.

"Venticed, I knew you are the most obedient and loyal!" Qin Mubai was in a good mood and slapped him, "If you really behave well, I will bring you a gift when I come back!"

"Good!"

After all, children are easy to coax. Qin Mubai can easily handle it with a little bit of words. But how to deal with the strange and tricky Princess Gaoyang? Did you really take her out of the palace and visit the world's first wine?

I have a headache. This troublesome girl is really a headache!

All morning, Qin Mubai was thinking about countermeasures, and even he was a little worried when teaching the little guys the pipa. Just then, an uninvited guest came.

Princess Gaoyang dressed in a very formal court dress, held a pipa in person, and came to the Penglai Hall alone.

As soon as Li Zhi saw her, he shivered: "The old gray wolf..." Halfway through the words, he hurriedly covered his mouth. When Li Mingda saw his brother like this, he hurriedly covered his mouth and looked at the uninvited Princess Gaoyang together.

"Hey, you two little guys, can't you be so funny and cute?" Who knows that Princess Gaoyang changed her previous arrogance and popularity, but said to Li Zhi and Li Mingda with a smile, "Sister Huang is here to learn the pipa today. You don't have to be nervous. Hey - I've brought your favorite Caiju for you to play!"

After saying that, Princess Gaoyang took out a ball embroidered with colorful ribbon and handed it to Li Zhi.

"Hey hey! It's so beautiful!" Li Zhi laughed with the colored ball in his arms, and immediately played around with Li Mingda.

"It's really a child. He doesn't hold grudges and forget everything when he is playful..." Qin Mubai shook his head with a smile and whispered.

At this moment, Princess Gaoyang walked to him and sat down next to him. She whispered, "Hey, have you asked for leave?"

"I knew you were coming for this..." Qin Mubai smiled helplessly, "The emperor granted my leave for four days."

"When will you leave the palace?" Princess Gaoyang's eyebrows are flying.

"In the evening... It must be difficult for you to get out of the palace at that time, right? The palace gates are closed, and you can't go in and out as the crown prince of the harem. Qin Mubai said.

"Hey hey, when did you become so stupid and stupid?" Princess Gaoyang covered her mouth and said with a thief's smile, "I won't go out of the palace in advance and wait for you in the woods outside Xuanwu Gate?" Humph, I know from your strange expression and eyes that you are trying to get out and dump me. I tell you, there is no door - if you don't pick me up in the woods today, I will stay there all night. Whether he is taken by a beast or robbed by a rasp, in a word, it's all your responsibility!"

"Maybe I will strangle you in the woods with my own hands." Qin Mubai stared and gritted his teeth fiercely.

"Hee hee, I'm looking forward to it!" After saying that, Princess Gao Yang stood up and walked out. After a few steps, he stopped and turned around and smiled, "Peasant Nu, Yanzi, my sister is gone! I'll play with you when I have time!"

Li Zhi and Li Mingda were stunned together: "Village head, did the royal sister finish learning the pipa so soon?"

"Yes!" Qin Mubai turned his eyes and said, "She is a genius. She learns everything very fast."

In the evening, Qin Mubai got off work, went back to the barracks to confess some military affairs, put on an ordinary flat suit, and rode a fire cloud horse out of the palace from Xuanwu Gate.

To the north of Xuanwumen, there is a "famous" grove. When Li Shimin launched the Xuanwumen coup, he ambushed like this and then sneaked into the palace. Later, many soldiers who died in the coup were buried deep in the woods. Therefore, there are rumors that it is extremely angry here, and there have been ghosts in the middle of the night.

In the evening, the sunset shines on the cool breeze, and only the rustling of leaves can be heard in the quiet woods.

Princess Gaoyang was afraid that the sergeant of Xuanwumen would find her suspicious appearance, so she had to hide under a big tree on the edge of the forest and stare at the gate of Xuanwu Gate and wait for Qin Mubai. With a gust of wind, she hugged her arms tremblingly, and there were goose bumps on her body. She shrank her neck and kept looking around. She muttered, "I'm so stupid. How can I choose to meet in such a ghost place? ...Wow, don't mention ghosts, don't mention ghosts! Dead military academy, stinky man, why don't you come!"

After a long time, a horse ran out of the Xuanwu Gate, and the riding skill was chic and dusty. Princess Gaoyang had already been so scared. At this time, a thrill ran out of the woods and waved from afar and shouted, "Hey, I'm here!"

Naturally, the person who came is Qin Mubai. He saw Princess Gaoyang from afar and ran over.

"Hey, why is there only one person, not even an entourage? It's very strange in the woods. Aren't you afraid?" Qin Mubai saw her trembling and deliberately scared her with a straight face.

"You also said that you knew that I would be afraid of danger, and you came so late on purpose. It's really heart!" When Princess Gaoyang saw Qin Mubai, she was like seeing a great savior. Although her mouth was full of resence, her heart was at ease in an instant.

Qin Mubai jumped off his horse and looked at her helplessly with a sigh: "Your Highness, it's too much nonsense for you to run out of the palace alone. If you know it, you just say that you are out of the palace for fun; if you don't know it, you think you're going to elope!"

"Even if it's really an elopement, what's the big deal?" Princess Gaoyang stuned her face and said, "I'm not afraid. Are you afraid of being a big man? - Don't talk nonsense. Take me on the horse and leave. I don't want to stay here for a moment!"

Qin Mubai looked back at the Xuanwu Gate, which was already tightly closed, and said helplessly, "Sooner or later, I will be killed by you!"
