Chapter 234 Li You, King of Qi

Soon, the princess sent someone to invite her. Chen Yan and Su Lianqing went to the back house to accompany the princess for dinner. Qin Mubai and Li Ke sat and drank tea and chatted, waiting for Li You to come back for a banquet.

"Haha, I'm back!"

A few unbridled shouts came from the yard. Qin Mubai and Li Ke looked at the courtyard and saw a cluster of flowers, warblers and Yan Yan - Li Suan, the king of Qi, came with a group of women.

Li Ke immediately smiled bitterly: "I, the living emperor, am still so virtuous! There is still convergence in Chang'an. This departure from Beijing is unscrupulous!"

Qin Mubai smiled and said nothing. Li You has always been a "famous" dump. Flying eagles, roosters and dogs, these are all pediatrics for him. When he comes to such a romantic place as Xiangzhou, if he doesn't hug left and right, it's really not his style.

"Haha!" Li You stepped into the hall and laughed loudly: "Dinth brother, Qin Mubai, look what good things I brought to you!"

A group of women fished in, surrounded by fat swallows, thin flowers, red willows and green, there are typical Jiangnan little beauties holding a zither, there are barbarian women wearing half of their belly to cover the veil, and there are actually "foreign girls" with blue eyes and blonde hair.

Li Ke smiled bitterly and said, "Fifth brother, your royal sister-in-law just came back from embarrassment. She is weak and needs to be recuperated... If she sees these women, does she have to have a sulking breath and aggravate her illness?"

"Uh..." Li You was stunned for a moment, and then smiled and said, "I was greedy for fun for a while, but I forgot this layer - okay, let's go! Change the king of Japan and come to play with you again!"

"Yes! ..." A group of women retreated out. Li You wink at the two men behind him. The two followed the women out, told them something, and gave them a lot of rewards. Only then did a group of women break up with joy.

Li Ke and Qin Mubai saw it in their eyes and shook their heads and smiled secretly.

"Oh, Xiangzhou is such a good place! It's more than a hundred times better than Dengzhou. It not only has the largest port in Jianghan, does not have to worry about taxes, money and grain, but also is a famous romantic place. Li You sat up with a smile, took a few sies of the tea presented by his subordinates, and said with a smile, "Third brother, I'm really jealous of you. If I had known that there was such a good place as Xiangzhou, why should I go to that barren place in Dengzhou? Hey!"

Qin Mubai smiled and asked, "Your Highness, why did you transfer from Qizhou to Dengzhou again?"

Li You curled his lips and looked at Li Ke with a trace of displeasure. Li Ke was so understanding that he dismissed all his servants.

"Hmm!!" Li You's face darkened, slapped the table angrily, and said with hatred, "It's not Changsun Wuji!"

"You whisper!" Li Ke frowned and asked, "When did he offend you?"

Li You glanced at Qin Mubai and said, "Anyway, Mubai is not an outsider, so I will say it directly!" This man also slandered my father and said, "How unworthy I am in Qizhou, and I ignore the government affairs and disturb the people. I was so annoyed that my father scolded me, and then moved me to the barren land of Dengzhou, saying that it was closer and easy to control! Qizhou is so good. That's Shangzhou, Hebei Province. Official materials such as salt, iron and horses are produced, and there should be no shortage of population tax. This damn place in Dengzhou is poor and small. You have to rely on Xiangzhou's wharf to transport salt. Don't mention how stuffy I am.

Li Ke smiled and said, "Fifth brother, you are not bad. Have you heard that your third brother and I have been banned in Chang'an for a year?

"Uh... That's true." Li You nodded again and hummed, "I don't mind what my father wants to do with me. I just can't wait for the eldest grandson Wuji! Third brother, you also know that this guy is the elder brother of the late queen and the brother-in-law of his father. He reaches out to take care of everything, even our family affairs! Since childhood, we have not been regarded as princes in his eyes. He, he only recognizes the sons his sister gave birth to. Isn't this all proposed by him? All of us concubine princes have to leave Chang'an! If you dare to say that we are not the blood bones of our father, we are like our mother's concubines! Born to be far away from your parents and your homeland, is this a human relationship? During the Spring Festival last year, I went back to Beijing and found that my mother's concubine turned her head white overnight and lived in the Taoist temple. What's the difference between this and entering the cold palace? Speaking of which, it's not Changsun Wuji's fault! His sister, who was the queen, passed away, and there was no room for other concubines to be too close to his father. He was jealous! So he slandered and let his father be alienated from my mother's concubine! - This person is not good-minded and bad-hearted! I hate him so much!"

After listening, Qin Mubai only smiled and did not answer.

Li You's mother is Yin Defei. Of course, it is not what Li You said. He has no evidence at all, it's just a righteous speculation. It can be seen that he has always been incompatible with Changsun Wuji, and... Li You, who has no city government, is really quick and a little reckless, and his mind seems to be a little simple.

"Fifth brother, you can't talk nonsense." Li Ke said cautiously, "It's true that Changsun Wuji didn't like us princes when he was young. However, you don't have any evidence of his slander, do you? Unless you hear it with your own ears, or your father tells you yourself. So, it's okay to think less about these nerve-wracking things. If you come, you will be at ease. Be your governor of Dengzhou!"

"Well, my younger brother also knows that his eldest grandson Wuji is an uncle and an important minister of the current dynasty, and is deeply trusted by his father. Even if I am a prince, I am nothing in front of him. I'm just here to curse and vent my resentment. What can I do with him? This old thief...!" Li You cursed in a low voice, turned his eyes, and his expression changed quickly. He said with a smile, "Third brother, it's really enjoyable these days. I finally witnessed the big scene of bloody and fire fighting with my own eyes! Qin Mubai, you are a little capable. You can make such a big Skynet. It's a big deal!"

"Ha ha!" Qin Mubai smiled and said, "Everything is thanks to the help of His Royal Highness the King of Qi!" Otherwise, the consequences are really unimaginable!"

"Family, what's the matter with you!" Li You laughed and said, "It won't take long for you to get married with Linger, so I won't be your uncle? Haha! - This stinky girl, from childhood to age, no one can control her. Even her father only spoils her and spoils her, and listens to her wayward nonsense. I didn't expect to meet such a evil star like you and eat her to death. Tut, you are awesome, Qin Mubai. I really want to ask you for some advice on how to treat this unruly girl in my house. You don't know that although I am her brother, I only change her face and my mouth is curled, and I can only rely on her. Therefore, I have nothing to do with her.

"Then you spoil her." Qin Mubai smiled and said, "I haven't seen you for a long time. I don't know how Princess Gaoyang is now. I really miss her."

"Isn't it easy?" Li You patted his chest and said, "In a few days, I will clean up Dengzhou Prefecture and take my sister for a few days. She has a wild nature. Although he was born in Chang'an, it's good to stay in Chang'an for three or five months every year. Most of the time is spent with his uncle in Bingzhou. Over there, she is free. How can uncle care about her? It's not up to her to go to heaven. Now, my uncle also followed me to Dengzhou as an official. Linger is bound to like it here.

"Ah?" Qin Mubai was stunned and said to himself, "I'm just saying casually, do you really want to get people here?" Missing is missing, but this little aunt is too difficult to serve. Besides, the emperor may not let her leave Beijing. Anyway, I and I didn't officially announce the marriage contract. Before that, the aftermath of her marriage with the Fang family was still in the aftermath.

Li Ke seemed to see through Qin Mubai's mind and took over and said, "Fifth brother, I'm not in a hurry to pick up Gao Yang's coming to Dengzhou. At present, we have just defeated the Water Ghost Party, but the remnants have not been eliminated. Who can guarantee that the next time they are going to kidnap is not the newcomer Gaoyang? These people are so bold that even my princess dares to do it.

"Huh? That's right!" Li You also saved a lot of mind, "Since there is still extra risk, let's wait for a while!" In addition, it's also good to let Linger spend more time with her mother and concubine in the palace. Hey! Mother, she is so miserable! I feel sad when I think about it, but I can't help it. I can't change anything.

In Qin Mubai's mind, the beautiful face and snow-like hair of the Yin Concubine also appeared in his mind. He sighed slightly and was silent.

Li You, who is only eighteen years old, is active and energetic. His buttocks seem to be sharp, and he can't sit still at all. After chatting with Qin Mubai and Li Ke for a while, he jumped up from the couch and stretched out and said, "Third brother, when will the banquet be held? Let's eat it so that we can play!"

"Are you hungry? Then let's have a banquet!" Li Ke smiled and ordered his servants to hold a banquet. He made a special trip to entertain Li You, the king of Qi, Shi Quan Wanji, the governor of the governor, and other officials.

Li You had to pull Qin Mubai with him, sat at the same table, and whispered, "Mubai, we are also a family. The family doesn't talk to two families. I know that you and Changsun Huan are very stiff, so he was kicked out of Baiqi to be a doorman in Chang'an. Changsun Wuji must have hated you. This guy has always been most afraid of our concubine princes. He can't wait for us to die and leave a few of his nephews, especially the third brother Li Ke. Now I'm so close to him... but be careful!"

"Your Highness is too worried." Qin Mubai smiled and said, "I don't fight with his eldest grandson Wuji about anything. He won't do anything to me. For example, there will only be a tiger and another tiger competing for the top of the mountain. Have you never heard of a horse and a tiger competing?

"Qi! I kindly remind you that you don't listen!" Li You raised his eyebrows and curled his lips and said, "Since we are a family, we have to be united. Otherwise, you will be kicked down and never turn over.

"It's not that serious, is it? Is it possible that Your Highness and Changsun Wuji really have a big hatred? Qin Mubai asked in a low voice.

"Why not?" Li You's face darkened. He looked around alertly and whispered, "In the early years, it was he who slandered the Yin family. Fortunately, my father was kind and left my mother's concubine and didn't kill her. Otherwise, how could we have our bloodline? Where did your marriage with Linger come from? Since then, Changsun Wuji has been extremely afraid of the people of the Yin family. After the death of the Empress Changsun, his father thought about re-instateing the empress, so he selected among the four concubines. Normally, such things are royal family affairs. It's not his turn for his eldest grandson Wuji to talk too much, right? But he had to interrupt and remind his father that he should not forget the blood of the Yin family. The implication is that don't make Yin Defei the queen! I hate it! I really hate it! Originally, my mother didn't want to be the queen, which didn't matter. I just hate the face of Changsun Wuji. You say, we haven't offended him over the years. He has to make things difficult for us, hum!"

"You should have heard all these, right?" Qin Mubai said, "I've been in the palace for so long. Why have I never heard of this?"

Li You was stunned, turned his eyes and said, "Of course it can't be heard with your own ears. However, even if it is a rumor, it will not be groundless. There must be eight truths, right? Anyway, the old thief Changsun Wuji is not a good thing. In fact, I don't know what my grandfather looks like. The feud between the Yin family and the Li family should be over in our generation. Besides, Ling'er and I are both surnamed Li, aren't we? However, Changsun Wuji has to treat us differently, as if we are all from the Yin family. Sooner or later, we will think about this feud, and sooner or later, we will settle accounts with Changsun Wuji! - Since the death of the Empress Changsun, my father began to snold my mother's concubine. Isn't this what Changsun Wuji is doing? He was afraid that my mother's concubine would be appointed as the queen, hum!"

Qin Mubai shook his head and smiled, "Your Highness, you think too much. I have been in the palace for so long, and as a close minister of your majesty, I have to accompany me in the harem day and night, and I know more or less about the secrets of the palace. As far as I know, Changsun Wuji really didn't care about this kind of thing. As for things such as slandering and interfering in the post-date, it is not what his eldest grandson Wuji can do. Because he is smart enough not to do such an intimate stupid thing.

"Are you exonezing him? Qin Mubai, how can you turn your elbow out and help outsiders? Li You is still a little annoyed.

"No." Qin Mubai said indifferently, "I'm helping you."

"What do you mean?" Li You said puzzledly.

"In fact, you and Gao Yang, including the King of Wu, are temporarily not a threat to his eldest grandson Wuji. Why did he take precautions against you? Anyway, you are also the emperor's own son. Even if he is his uncle and the emperor's confidant, he can't be close to his father and son. Why did he alienate the relationship between you and the emperor? Therefore, I feel that Your Highness has been instigated to fight against Changsun Wuji in a wishful thinking. Qin Mubai looked at Li You seriously and said word by word, "This is not good for you."

Li You was stunned and blinked back at Qin Mubai. He didn't say anything for a long time.

"Your Highness is a smart person, and he should be able to distinguish between true and false." Qin Mubai said, "That's all I said, and it's not convenient to talk about many. Your Highness, please distinguish by yourself.

Li You nodded thoughtfully, his eyes changed, and he didn't say anything for a long time.

"What are the two great meritorious officials talking about secretly? Is it so speculative?" Li Ke said loudly, "Come on, let's drink together!"

"Okay, drink!" Qin Mubai and Li You raised their glasses together, met all the officials, and went to drink.

At night, the banquet has not dispersed. After breaking through the water ghost party, everyone was a little greedy with joy.

Chen Yan had dinner with the princess in the back hall and waited for Qin Mubai for a long time. Seeing that the party had not yet dispersed, he was ready to leave first. After giving birth, Princess Wu was weak and frightened again this time. She was sick and went back to her room early after eating. Su Lianqing was taken in for a while and happily became a maidservant. Hearing that Chen Yan was going to leave, he personally sent her out of the house.

"Sister, you are really a first-class good person in the world, and you are also a first-class lucky person." Su Lianqing held Chen Yan's hand and said with a smile.

Chen Yan shook her wrist and broke away from her and said, "If you work in the palace in the future, you need to change your face. You have to change some of your previous habits. In particular, you can't be as ** as before. You have to seduce men when you see them. The royal palace has the rules of the royal palace. You keep it by yourself.

"I know, I know." Su Lianqing said with a smile, "Can I be so ignorant?"

"I don't know whether you know it or not. Anyway, if you mess up, you will anger the King of Wu and anger Qin Mubai. Chen Yan's face darkened and said coldly, "No matter what you do, in a word, don't mess with Mu Bai. If you hurt him at all, I won't forgive you."

"Uh! ...I know, I know." Su Lianqing met Chen Yan's cold eyes, and his heart was also a little cold. He smiled and said, "Sister, you are really close to him. Don't worry, I know. If it hadn't been for his good intentions, I'm afraid I would have been in a different place or in prison like many water ghosts. How can I not be grateful? How can I not be a new person?

"It's good." Chen Yan sighed, "This place in the royal palace is really not suitable for me. I have to go. Just tell Mu Bai later.

At this moment, the two heard a loud laugh from the hall. It seems that a few drunkards came out shoulder to shoulder and spit wine in their mouths.

"Qin Mubai, you have to accompany me tonight! Ha-haha!" A man's voice burps as he spoke, and said vaguely, "The third brother is managed by a princess. You are alone. Why don't you accompany me to be romantic and unrestrained? Ben, I will come to Xiangzhou. Is it easy for me? Have you seen all the girls I brought in at noon? Hey, hey hey! There are ten in total, five belong to you and five belong to me. Let you choose first, how about it?"

Then I heard Qin Mubai's voice: "Your Highness, you are hurting me! What if Ling'er knows that I'm so romantic and promiscuous?

"If you don't say it, I won't say it. How does she know? Hey hey!" Li You pulled Qin Mubai but refused to let go. He was so drunk that he giggled and said, "Besides, I know, so what? Men, if you are not romantic, are you still called men? Don't talk nonsense. Just get in the car with me. I've settled down!"

The more Chen Yan listened, the more angry she became. As soon as she bit her silver teeth, she was about to step forward. Su Lianqing hurriedly pulled her.

"You're crazy, that's the King of Qi!"

"I don't care about the ghost king of Qi and take Qin Mubai to fool around, but I can't!" When the words fell to the ground, Chen Yan was already bullied in front of her like a phantom.

Li You only felt the wind sweeping around him, and he was hit hard on his arm. He suddenly lost his strength and let go. In the blink of an eye, Qin Mubai in front of him had disappeared.

He suddenly screamed loudly: "Ghost, there is a ghost!"

"Come on, come on! A ghost caught Qin Mubai!!"

Suddenly, the sound of the stick gong sounded, and countless soldiers rushed out together, and the royal palace became noisy.

Qin Mubai rode on the horse, looked back at the royal palace, and immediately smiled bitterly. Chen Yan, who sat in her arms with him, snorted coldly, "It's cheaper for him this time. Next time let me meet him and take you to learn bad, I will castrate him!"
