Chapter 190 Waiting for Alcohol
The carriage and horse entered the Xuanwu Gate and reached the Daming Palace, which is the harem of the Tang Dynasty that Princess Gaoyang is most familiar with.
"Mu Bai, my heart suddenly beats so fast. I'm nervous... Can you hold my hand?" Princess Gaoyang stretched out her white and tender little hand from the window of the carriage.
Qin Mubai smiled slightly, stretched out his big hand and covered her hand in the palm of his hand, and said, "How about going home? What are you afraid of?"
"I'm not afraid, I'm just..." Princess Gaoyang said, blushing, "Thinking of what happened before, I feel very guilty, feel that I'm really unfilial, and I'm sorry for my father and mother. Now it's strange to take the initiative to face them.
Don't worry. The most tolerant thing in the world is that of parents. Qin Mubai smiled and said, "As long as you are safe and sound, they will be satisfied. Now that you are so sensible and come back to accompany them, it's too late for them to be happy!"
"Really?"
"Of course!"
Princess Gaoyang sighed with a smile and said with a smile, "Mu Bai, you are so kind! I don't know why, listening to you is like taking reassurance. With you, I have the backbone."
"Ha ha!" Qin Mubai smiled.
The carriage and horse first stopped at the Penglai Hall. After inquire, they knew that Yin Defei was not in the hall at present, but still in the big corner. The maidservants were busy unloading the princess's clothes. Qin Mubai took Princess Gaoyang on the horse and said, "Let's go. Let's just go to the big corner to watch. There is no need to stir up the public."
"Hmm! I haven't ridden a horse for a long time!" Princess Gaoyang shouted excitedly, "Do you remember the first time I rode a horse?"
"How can I know?" Qin Mubai turned over his horse and held the reins to protect Princess Gaoyang on his chest.
Princess Gao Yang huddled in his arms and giggled. She turned her face and bit Qin Mubai's chin gently: "Idiot, it was the last time you abducted me and sneaked out of the palace to play!"
"I abduct you? On the contrary, it seems that you are forcing me!"
"It's you who abduct me, you abduct me!"
The two of them passed by in the harem without fear. Not long, they found the new big horn view in the harem.
The Taoist temple is not big, but it is not magnificent and elegant. Because it is a royal exclusive Taoist temple, there are not many people in it, and there are only two Taoist nuns sweeping in the courtyard. The two got off the horse and went in, and one of the Taoist nuns hurriedly greeted him. After Xu Li's inquiry, he led the two of them to a secluded hut in the backyard.
"The Empress Defei is here. Please go ahead!" The Taoist aunt said and left.
"Mu Bai, go in with me?" Princess Gaoyang pulled Qin Mu's white sleeves and whispered.
Qin Mubai shook his head with a smile: "I won't go in. Go in by yourself!"
"Why?"
"Do you want to see your mother and daughter holding their heads and crying again?" Qin Mubai said, "Stay well with your mother and concubine, and advise her not to escape into the empty door."
"Well, I know..." Princess Gaoyang nodded gently, took a deep breath, and walked forward. "Then I'll go... Can you wait for me here?"
"Hmm..."
Princess Gaoyang went to the hut and knocked on the door. There was an answer inside. She opened the door and went in, and then turned around and closed the door.
Qin Mubai breathed a sigh of relief.
I don't know why, as soon as he stepped into this Taoist temple, Qin Mubai felt a little depressed. At the thought of the beautiful and miserable concubine Yinde, a sense of melancholy and pity inevitably rose in his heart.
In terms of mind, Qin Mubai is already in his early thirties. Yin Defei is not a few years old compared with him, and she is still within the gap between "female juniors and holding gold bricks". But she... is not only Li Shimin's concubine, but also the mother of Princess Gaoyang.
Qin Mubai shook his head and laughed at himself: How could I have such thoughts? What a discohering! ... Yin Defei, her stunning beauty can suffocate every man, her dignified and grace can make everyone obsessed, and her fate is regrettable and pity. If she is not the imperial concubine or Gao Yang's mother... That's all, that's all!
Probably every man will have the idea of me when he sees her, right?
Qin Mubai patiently sat in the courtyard for a long time. The Taoist nun politely brought him tea and snacks and asked him to sit in the small corner pavilion to rest. After about an hour, the door of the hut was slowly opening, and Princess Gaoyang came out with tears in her eyes.
"Mubai..." Princess Gaoyang walked to Qin Mubai, lowered her head and curled her lips, looked sad and sad, and choked, "You can go back today. I'm here to accompany my mother."
"Uh-huh..." Qin Mubai held her hand and patted her gently. He nodded and said, "Defei, are you all right?"
"All right, that's..."
"What is it?"
"That's right, she wants to be a monk and escape into the empty door." As Princess Gaoyang said, a string of tears fell down. "She said that she had seen through the world and had no worries. She had nothing else to ask for leaving this body. She was only willing to pray for the blessing of the God in front of the Green Lantern Ancient Buddha and bless me. Bless you too..."
"Bless me?" Qin Mubai was stunned.
"Yes, er..." Princess Gaoyang nodded and wiped her tears and said sadly, "My mother said that he loves you as much as he loves me. She will pray to you and wish you a safe life. You're safe, and I'll be fine... She said, "I'm lucky because I met you."
After listening to this sentence, Qin Mubai couldn't help but feel a little pain in his heart.
Gao Yang was lucky because he met me. Does that mean that she was unfortunate because she met Li Shimin?
Yin Defei, one of the emperor's four concubines, is second only to the eldest grandson of the late queen. In the eyes of the world, it is noble and can only be looked up to. But who knows how much sadness there is in the Yinde Concubine in the Zhumen of the Deep Palace? From the day her father and brother's family were killed by Li Shimin, she may have never been really happy even for a day! ......
"Why don't you talk?" Princess Gaoyang shook Qin Mubai's hand and asked with her face.
"Nothing." Qin Mubai smiled reluctantly and said, "You have to persuade your mother to think about it a little bit, or not to escape into the empty door. What will you do if she gets out of the house?
"Yes, that's what I said... But the mother said that she was relieved when I had you. The married daughter is like spilling water. After all, she will return to her husband's house. She can't always fall in love with her parents. Wow... Mu Bai, I suddenly felt that I was such an asshole. In the past, I was so sensible that I never felt sorry for my father and mother!" Princess Gaoyang began to cry.
"Okay, don't cry." Qin Mubai took a deep breath and said, "I'll go to see your mother!"
"Can you persuade her?"
"Try it!"
"Okay, go! I'll wait for you outside!"
Qin Mubai went to the hut and knocked on the door.
"Is it Linger? Come on in!" The voice of Yin Defei came from inside, calm and soothing, with a trace of love and peace. As soon as people hear this sound, they seem to want to see her smiling beauty.
"It's Weichen, Qin Mubai." Qin Mubai said that he was not in a hurry to push the door and enter.
There was a moment of silence inside, and then a voice came: "It's you... What's the matter?"
"Weichen has something to say and wants to talk to the Empress Defei." Qin Mubai said.
There was another silence, and it was silent for a long time.
"It's not necessary!" Yin Defei's voice was still as calm as water, and she said indifferently, "The quiet place of Taoist Gate is not suitable for you to stay for a long time. You'd better go quickly!"
Qin Mubai was stunned. Knowing that Yin Defei couldn't see it, he nodded unconsciously and said, "In this case, please take care of yourself. Weichen will say goodbye!"
"I hope it's enough to be kind to Ling'er!"
Qin Mubai was about to leave. When he heard these eight words, he couldn't help but stagnate. He shook his head and still left.
Why won't she see me?
Why? ......
Returning to the small corner pavilion, Princess Gaoyang asked eagerly, "How's it going? Why didn't you even enter the door?"
"Your mother doesn't want to see me."
"Why?"
"I'm also asking myself this question. Why?" Qin Mubai shook his head blankly and smiled bitterly, "Forget it, let it be!" Maybe we really shouldn't force your mother. I remember that someone once said to me that if you really like a person and love a person, you don't really want to keep him by his side as your own. But I sincerely hope that he can live a good life, which is enough.
"What does this... mean?" Princess Gaoyang flashed her big eyes and said, "That is to say, if my mother can live a better life when she escapes into the empty door, I should be satisfied, right?"
"That's probably it!" Qin Mubai reluctantly squeezed out some smiles, patted Princess Gao Yang's shoulders, and said, "Linger, if escaping into the empty door is another relief for your mother's concubine, it's better than letting her hang herself. Do you understand?
Princess Gaoyang looked at Qin Mubai crazily. Her little face trembled slightly, her eyes turned red, and her eyes were full of eyes. Biting her lip, she still nodded. Tears finally couldn't help rolling down like broken beads.
"Don't cry." Qin Mubai stretched out his hand to wipe the tears on her face, smiled hard and said, "If you want your mother to live a peaceful and happy life for the rest of your life, then you should work hard to be happy!"
"Well, I'll try my best!" Princess Gaoyang nodded heavily, "I will work hard and love you fiercely! Love our future home! I want to be a happy wife, a happy mother, and a happy daughter!"
......
Qin Mubai finally left Dajiaoguan.
Riding on the horse and walking slowly, he has been thinking about that problem--
Yin Defei, why don't you see me?
Don't want to, can't bear, look up or dare not? ......
Unconsciously, a song appeared in Qin Mubai's mind, a song that he once listened to in the 21st century - "The sound of prosperity escapes into the empty door and breaks the world. The dream is cold, and there are a few love debts for a lifetime... Let me wait, history turns around, and wait for the wine mellow to wait for you to play a guzheng..."
If the Yin Concubine enters the empty door... Who will be broken again?!
......
Riding a horse all the way and walking slowly towards home, Qin Mubai was a little distracted. When I passed the door of my house, I didn't find that my door was open, and there were people standing in front of the door.
"Mu Bai!" A call came from his side, and Qin Mubai suddenly came to his senses. Turning around, it was Wu Mei Niang.
"Mei Niang, why are you here?" Qin Mubai jumped off his horse and walked to her.
Wu Mei Niang's face was slightly red with a hint of mellow wine, and her charming eyes smiled like silk: "I've been waiting for you for a long time!"
Seeing Wu Mei Niang's face, a string in Qin Mubai's heart was suddenly touched.
Wu Mei Niang, her face is not as good as that of Yin Defei, and she is younger and more beautiful.
The sky is not kind and jealous of the beauty!
......
Qin Mubai suddenly stretched out his arms and held Wu Mei Niang tightly in his arms.
Wu Mei Niang didn't expect it. Her face turned red in an instant. She looked around nervously and muttered, "What are you doing? There are so many people on the street at the gate!"
"Mei Niang, I will never let you repeat the fate of the concubine!" Qin Mubai said to himself in his heart.
"Relax your hands, are you stupid? How much did you drink?" Wu Mei Niang was even more embarrassed and struggled hurriedly, "A lot of people are staring at us. I'm so ashamed!"
Qin Mubai then let go of her, looked at her in a daze, and smiled.
"Dumb laugh!" Wu Mei Niang smiled and pulled him, "Go into the room!"
"Oh!" Qin Mubai still giggled and was dragged into the room by Wu Mei Niang. Two servants came forward, one with a horse and the other closed the door.
Then Wu Meiniang took a breath and scolded with a smile, "Deng Tuzi, I'm afraid you drank a lot today, right?" Say, where did you go to fool around?"
"No." Qin Mubai smiled and said, "The king of Jiangxia has returned to Beijing and invited me to the banquet. I didn't think he invited the emperor, so I had to drink a few more cups to accompany him.
"Yo, the emperor, Mount Tai, has officially made an appointment with the emperor's son-in-law?" Wu Mei Niang laughed and said, "How's it going? What's the result?"
"What's the matter? It's just an ordinary banquet." Qin Mubai smiled and said, "However, there is indeed something that has been implemented. That is, I will go to Xiangzhou to take office after the Spring Festival. The emperor has promised to appoint me as a lieutenant in Xiangzhou Military Mansion.
"So, I'm really leaving..." Wu Mei Niang's face dimmed a little in an instant. She sighed faintly and nodded, "Men are ambitious, I won't keep you. But... I really don't want to be far away from you."
"Mei Niang." Qin Mubai took her hand and put it on her mouth and kissed her gently. She said, "Even if it's a thousand miles away, it's not the distance between us."
Wu Mei Niang's heart trembled and looked at Qin Mubai a little crazy. She nodded seriously with a happy face and a little sadness. Then she tiptoed up, closed her eyes and sent her red lips.
Qin Mubai took her into his arms and kissed her.
The servants in the house hurriedly avoided and disappeared.
Both of them drank some wine, forgot their feelings in an instant, and kissed in the courtyard for a long time until the sky darkened and cold suddenly rose.
"Mubai, let's get married!" Wu Mei Niang suddenly said.
Qin Mubai was stunned, stared at Wu Mei Niang and nodded: "In my heart, you are already my wife."
Wu Mei Niang bit her lips to avoid Qin Mubai's eyes and nodded gently: "I understand. I shouldn't have said this sentence recklessly to embarrass you."
"I'm sorry, Mei Niang..." Qin Mubai sighed softly, "I know it's unfair to you, and I'm even willing to accept your hatred. But...Princess Gaoyang needs me, and I can't bear to live up to it!"
"Your affection is as obvious and prominent as your affection." Wu Meiniang sighed gently and smiled slightly, "You behaved very strangely today. Is it because Princess Gaoyang has affected your mood? You have always been very calm and heavy, but today you act like a promiscuous man and woman.
Qin Mubai smiled at himself and said, "Mei Niang, do you hate me?"
"Hate." Wu Mei Niang said without thinking, "I hate why I met you. Without you, I wouldn't have felt so much suffering. Do you know that loving someone, especially someone deeply, is actually a very painful thing.
"I know..." Qin Mubai sighed helplessly, "I apologize, Mei Niang..."
"No need to apologize." Wu Meiniang smiled, stretched out a pair of cold snow-white soft face holding Qin Mubai's face, looked carefully, looked straight into his eyes sincerely, and said, "If it hadn't been for this kind of suffering, I would have been worse than death." People are so cheap, you know?"
Qin Mubai grinned and kissed Wu Mei Niang's hot red lips.
......
For a long time, it was getting late, and I couldn't see my fingers around.
"I'm going back." Wu Mei Niang took off Qin Mubai's arms and said with a smile, "I'm here today to tell you about going to the East Palace for the banquet."
"Can't you leave?" Qin Mubai smiled and pretended to be stupid and said shamelessly.
"Come on." Wu Mei Niang laughed and scolded, "I'm talking to you about business!" Today is the birthday of the crown princess, but the prince did not invite several people to the banquet, and even the royal family did not come. In addition to me, there are only a few family-in-laws of the crown princess. There was nothing to say at the banquet, just polite. It's just that after the banquet, the princess invited me to the side hall to serve tea.
"So, you have received some special preferential treatment." Qin Mubai said with a smile.
"Does that need to be said? Originally, the crown prince of a country invited me to a business girl to the banquet, which was already excellent. Wu Mei Niang said, "In fact, the crown princess didn't say anything to me, but just knocked around with me and showed her goodwill to me. Listening to her words, it means a lot to win you in. But there is also a sense of temptation, and he keeps asking me how you and King Wu have a good relationship.
"What did you say?" Qin Mubai asked.
"Oh, what can I say?" Wu Mei Niang smiled and said, "I prevaricate with only one sentence - a cheap concubine has never dared to ask about her husband's family affairs."
"Smart." Qin Mubai smiled and said, "If you are wandering in Chang'an, you will inevitably encounter many people on the official road. For the East Palace, I'll tell you a principle: don't be offended, don't be abted.
"All OK. I'll do whatever you say." Wu Mei Niang nodded with a smile and said, "You went to Xiangzhou, and you remember many times. If there is a suitable store where you can open a store, you can write to Chang'an and tell me. I will go to Xiangzhou and open a 'Qin Fairy Pavilion' subcolon there.
"That must be!" Qin Mubai laughed and suddenly hugged Wu Mei Niang tightly in his arms and said in her ear, "Mei Niang, I really love you so much!"
"Come on, let it go." Wu Mei Niang giggled, "If I don't go back, my mother will scold me. I'm not married yet. Is it possible that I won't go home at night?
"What does it mean to stay at night? Didn't you say that my home is your home?" Qin Mubai smiled badly and refused to let go.
"Bad guy, no!" Wu Mei Niang giggled, "Bad man, apprentice, think about bad things!"
"What are you thinking about? Are you also thinking about it?" Qin Mubai laughed badly.
"Fuck you!" Wu Mei Niang shyly turned away and ran to the door with her skirt. "Why are you still stunned? Take the horse to take me home. Is it possible that you want me to walk back alone at night?"
Qin Mubai smiled, licked his lips a little greedy, and said secretly: Mei Niang, you can really flirt with people. It makes people have a great appetite, but they are not allowed to eat it... Well, this bite will be eaten sooner or later. Why rush for a while?
More brewing and other wine is mellow, but the taste is better!
