Chapter 76 Entrusted by others
Princess Gaoyang spent a lot of time talking about it, and finally explained the cause and effect of her appearance in the Wu Palace. Almost starting from her first conflict with Qin Mubai, including how she was frightened in the woods today, and how enjoyable it was to visit the west at night, so he forgot the time for a moment. Mr. Lin Lin talked for half an hour.
"Fourth brother, do you understand?" Princess Gaoyang took a sip of tea and looked at Li Ke.
"Why are there so many things? Say it directly. Didn't you fully explain it clearly that you eloped with Qin Mubai?" Li Ke smiled maliciously and said, "You are very nervous, Sister Seventeen."
"I, I don't have it!" Princess Gaoyang blushed and covered it with a smile, "I'm happy today. I'll tell you more stories!" Fourth brother, long time no see. How are you?"
"Okay, very good. Look, I've gained weight." Li Ke smiled and said, "Well, it's very late. Go to bed first. If your sister-in-law is not here, you can sleep in her room. I'll have someone to serve you.
"What's the hurry? Let's talk about it again?" Princess Gaoyang turned her head and glanced at Qin Mubai, as if she was a little worried that this guy would slip away like this.
"What are you talking about so late?" Li Ke yawned, "Let's talk about it tomorrow if there is anything!" Good boy, go to sleep."
"Okay..." Princess Gaoyang couldn't find an excuse to linger down, so she had to nod. Before leaving, she couldn't help saying to Qin Mubai, "Don't try to slip away. You promised me to take me to the first wine in the world!"
"Okay, go to bed!" Qin Mubai smiled and finally coaxed Princess Gaoyang away.
"You guy, that's good!" As soon as Princess Gao Yang left, Li Ke laughed jokingly, "I haven't seen you for a few months. I'm getting strong. Hooking up with my daughter-in-law behind my back - it's still my royal sister, the pearl of my father's eye.
"Don't talk nonsense. I don't know how much I have a headache now!" Qin Mubai looked up to the sky and sighed, with a look of great grievance.
"I can imagine your situation. I deeply sympathize with your experience." Li Ke smiled and said, "My seventeenth sister is one of the most difficult women in the world, but she is still a princess and a very favored princess. No matter who gets along with her, life must be difficult. As a royal brother, I have always been in awe of her. You'd better take it easy."
"I can't know this." After a few months, Qin Mubai felt that he and Li Ke were still as close as before, which made him feel very good.
Li Ke is smart and has no airs. Although he has a city government, he is not as false and yin as Li Tai. Compared with the two, aside from his political position, Qin Mubai would rather be friends with a prince like Li Ke.
"That girl is actually playful and capricious. Just keep it in moderation. Don't... get an inch!" Li Ke laughed.
"How is that possible?" Qin Mubai smiled bitterly, "Even if I'm really lustful and bold, I have never thought of doing such a thing. OK, let's not talk about her. Your Highness, do you know something happened in the world's first wine the other day?
"Naturally, I know that it has something to do with my uncle of Han!" Li Ke smiled and said, "After the incident, Wu Mei Niang came to my house for help as soon as it happened. I didn't promise her at that time, and she might be a little angry.
"I understand. Mei Niang should not be angry with Her Royal Highness. Qin Mubai said.
"I know you are a sensible person. In fact, Mei Niang also knows that she is just helpless for a while and can't think of where to ask for help. She even wanted to go to your house to ask your father, Duke Yi, for help, and even wanted to inform the emperor directly about this matter through Zheng Fengchi's network. However, it was stopped by her mother, Mrs. Yang. Li Ke picked up the corners of her mouth and smiled, "Mrs. Yang was born in the former Sui royal family. She is still a relative with my mother and concubine. She is not an ordinary woman. Her mind is not simple!"
"It's true." Qin Mubai said, "If Wu Mei Niang had really done this at that time, it would not have been so easy to solve the problem. Go and ask my father for help... With my father's personality, he will not only not deal with this kind of boring thing in the wind and moon field, but also may greatly reduce the impression of Wu Mei Niang. If the complaint is brought to the emperor... then we will be at odds with the King of Han from now on. Moreover, this matter damaged the reputation of the royal family. Once it was a big deal, the emperor's face was disgraceful. Coupled with the engagement between me and Wu Mei Niang before, if the emperor found out the old account hidden in the bottom of his heart, it would be really hard to say.
"So I said to Wu Mei Niang at that time, don't pay attention to it and let it go." Li Ke said, "I know the character of the King of Han. Although he is unruly and romantic, he always has a fear in his heart, that is, his father. If he really dares to do something at the feet of the emperor in Chang'an City to rob a people's daughter and rob a wife, then his good life will be overd. Therefore, I expected early on that he would make a show with the three fairies, so that the world's first wine business could not go on. Wu Mei Niang had to take the initiative to beg him. Sure enough, the King of Han couldn't wait, so he had to let him go.
"Your Highness, do you think the King of Han is really impatient?" Qin Mubai smiled coldly, "I'm afraid he's not so timid and calm, is he?"
"What do you mean?" Li Ke frowned and asked doubtfully.
Qin Mubai told Li Ke in detail about the process and method of Princess Gaoyang's handling of this matter.
"So it is..." Li Ke's expression became slightly solemn. "It seems that if Gao Yang hadn't come forward, the King of Han might not have been willing to compromise easily?"
"I don't know about this." Qin Mubai said lightly, "In a word, this time he took the initiative to insult me. I think the relationship between me and the king of Han has been concluded.
"I know... If anyone dares to flirt with my princess, whether he succeeds or not, I will definitely spare him." Li Ke frowned and said, "But Mu Bai, I advise you to try not to confront him head-on. You have no chance of winning."
"That's definitely not the case. It's not the point where water and fire can't be sworn!" Qin Mubai didn't want to say too much in front of Li Ke. After all, he was also a member of the royal family, and Li Yuanchang were uncles and nephews, so he changed the topic and said, "I don't know where Mei Niang is now?"
"After the incident of King Han, she handed over the store to her two brothers and Zheng Fengchi's son Zheng Anshun to take care of it. She accompanied her mother and sister and went back to her hometown." Li Ke said.
"Oh?" Qin Mubai was not only a little disappointed but also a little happy. I was disappointed that I finally came back from a vacation and didn't see my fiancee. What I was happy about was... There was no need for Halley Comet to hit the earth. Wu Mei Niang was not here. Even if Princess Gaoyang went to the world's first wine, it was also a slap!
"To the way, let me ask you something." Li Ke said, "How is my father in a good mood recently?"
"Shang Hao." Qin Mubai said, "Your Highness, do you want to find an opportunity to visit the saint and seek a job?"
"Isn't it? I've had this intention for a long time." Li Ke said, "It's been half a year in this royal palace, and I think it's almost enough. I just don't know if there is any suitable opportunity for me to get back on the stage.
Qin Mubai thought for a moment and asked, "What kind of opportunity does Your Highness need?"
"It's definitely not my turn to lead the army to fight. It's good to send imperial envoys to the local government, but I was impeached for misconduct, which is not enough to convince people. Therefore, it is better to have the assassin of the state capital or the governor's begging bones to leave office, or there is a vacancies and transfer of personnel, which is more suitable for me. Li Ke said.
"Okay, I'll pay attention to it for you." Qin Mubai said, "But... shouldn't you have done it?"
"If there is a river channel or a locust earthquake, a riot of the victims, etc., please inform me as soon as possible." Li Ke said, "At this time, it would be more appropriate for me to go out to work on behalf of the court as a prince."
"All OK. As long as the court needs to employ people, I will inform Your Highness as soon as possible. As long as the emperor doesn't betray the imperial secrets, Qin Mubai is still willing to do Li Ke a favor.
"Okay, I'll wait for your message." Li Ke said with a deep and grateful smile.
"It's getting late, and I should go, too. Before leaving, I would like to ask Your Highness for a favor. Qin Mubai got up and bowed his hand.
Li Ke laughed and said, "You miss me. Take Gao Yang out tomorrow so that you can get out, right?"
"Those who know me, Your Highness!" Qin Mubai also laughed.
"Don't worry, just leave this matter to me. After all, it's not a good thing to let outsiders know that she ran out of the palace with you and stayed up all night. I'll take her through the market tomorrow, which can just stop the rumors. Li Ke smiled and said, "Go back. Remember to say hello to Shuang'er for me."
"Only greetings to Shuang'er?" Qin Mubai said with a smile.
"Of course, I also want to greet the virtuous beauty of the Yi Kingdom. Wait a minute." Li Ke got up and went back to his study. He took out a purple sandalwood box and handed it to Qin Mubai. "I've been waiting for Shuanger to come to my house for tea, but she hasn't come for half a year. Please bring me this box of tea. The Birun Mingyue, which has just been brought from Anzhou, is a good royal tea.
Qin Mubai took the tea and nodded and smiled, but he felt a little strange in his heart.
Why does it look like the two of us are "changing sisters" with each other? Li Ke and Shuang'er, me and Gao Yang... messed up, messed up, this relationship is all messed up!
Farewell to Li Ke and leaving his room. Qin Mubai chatted with Yuwen Hongtai, who was guarding the guard at the gate of the royal palace. I don't know whether it was Li Ke's honest and loyal general, Yuwen Hongtai, or because of Qin Mubai's introduction. Yuwen Hongtai, who had just entered the house, has now replaced Qin Mubai's empty position, and together with Yin Yang, he was promoted to the inner captain of the Wu Palace, and took charge of the royal palace. Half of the soldiers and horses, and became Li Ke's personal confidant.
The Qin family is not far from Wu Wangfu, and it didn't take long to arrive. Looking at the familiar door, Qin Mubai breathed a sigh of relief: "It feels like home. It's really good."
