Qin Mubai came to the harem and found Li Zhi and Li Mingda in the Penglai Temple. The two little princes were naturally extremely happy when they saw Qin Mubai, and they were extremely happy to hear that they were going to take them out of the palace. Qin Mubai called to arrange the carriage, and immediately went to the Jiangxia Palace.

When the palace people were preparing for the carriage, Qin Mubai stood by the side of the palace platform and watched casually, and inadvertently saw a group of people walking by not far away. In the first few eunuchs, followed by a few court ladies, surrounded by a woman wearing a palace veiled hat.

The long milky white brim of the hat hangs down, making it difficult to see her face, but Qin Mubai thinks this person is familiar. Just as a breeze blew, the woman stretched out her hand to intentionally or unconsciously raised a corner of the brim of the palace gauze, turned her head slightly, and looked up at Qin Mubai.

A startling glance, it seems to have known each other.

——Yin Defei!

Although it was far apart, Qin Mubai clearly saw that Concubine Yin De smiled at him, and then gently put down the palace gauze without showing any signs, and kept moving forward.

The smile and the look in the eyes contained so many meanings that Qin Mubai couldn't understand it for a while. I just felt... She was very relieved and calm, as if she had seen everything without fighting with the world, fluttering like a sycamore leaf petals falling in the late autumn, with relief in mournfulness, no regrets and no worries.

The team quickly disappeared at the corner of the palace, mostly toward the north of Daming Palace. Qin Mubai randomly called a court lady to ask, where did the team just go?

The court lady replied that it was probably Concubine Yin De, who was in a new Taoist temple called "Dajiaoguan" in the Daming Palace.

"Taoist temple?" Qin Mu Baiyin said, "After a few months away from the palace, when did such a Taoist temple be built?"

"Oh, it was built by His Majesty the Emperor exclusively for the Concubine Yin De." The maid replied, "The Concubine Yin believed in Taoism and entered Taoism. She went to Taoist temples and enlightened Taoism every day and became a Taoist gate. Disciple."

"What?" Qin Mubai was surprised secretly, thinking: Concubine Yin De... became a Taoist aunt? Isn’t that far from being a monk?

The court lady didn't know much, and Qin Mubai didn't ask much. With the car ready, Qin Mubai accompanied Li Zhi and his sister to leave for Jiangxia Palace. Along the way, Qin Mubai was reminiscing about the look in the eyes of Concubine Yin De, who couldn't help feeling mixed.

"If I have time, I should take Princess Gaoyang to visit Concubine Yin De." Qin Mubai thought.

At the Jiangxia Palace, the banquet began. Because of the addition of two innocent and lively princes, the atmosphere is more warm and relaxed.

No matter who was there, Princess Gaoyang had to squeeze on the same bed as Qin Mubai for dinner. Everyone, including Li Shimin, is probably accustomed to princess Gao Yang's behavior, and they are accustomed to turning a blind eye to it.

"Mu Bai, just after you left, the emperor and the third brothers discussed about transferring you to Xiangzhou as the captain of Zhechong!" Princess Gao Yang was very vigilant quietly, like making a small report. Whispered.

"What was the result?" Qin Mubai just asked.

"As a result... Originally, the emperor was planning to appoint you as the governor of Jingzhou. It was the uncle and the old man who was troubled. He said that it would be better to let you be the captain of Zhechong. As soon as he spoke, the father agreed Hello!" Princess Gao Yang curled her lips, "but I won't agree! I said, if you want to go, you have to take me away!"

"Heh!" Qin Mubai smiled, "Aren't you messing up, how can your Majesty agree to such a thing?"

"Hmph, you all have reason, just don't take care of my feelings!" Princess Gao Yang said angrily, "I know what you want to say, but there are piles of great principles moved out, and I am speechless. Can you say yes? You save it, I don’t want to listen!"

"Then you...really intend to elope with me?"

"If the father can't think of a good compromise, I will really elope!"

Qin Mubai's face trembled lightly and smiled bitterly, and said: "It doesn't matter if you elope... But have you ever thought about it, your mother, what should you do?"

"Mother concubine?" Princess Gao Yang's face changed slightly, "She...what happened to her?"

Qin Mubai sighed lightly, and briefly told Princess Gao Yang about the fact that Concubine Yin De had hanged herself and now entered the Taoist gate.

"What? Why didn't you tell me earlier?" Princess Gao Yang's eyes widened in surprise.

"Hey, your mental condition was so bad at the time. If I told you to stimulate you, wouldn't it be a bad thing?" Qin Mubai shook his head and sighed, "Actually, your mother and concubine are far more pitiful than you. You. If she eloped with me desperately, wouldn’t it make her worse? People can be attached, but they can’t be attached to a selfish state. If you ask for the joy of yourself and ignore your parents’ life or death, you will be in vain. You What do you mean?"

Princess Gao Yang bit her lip, and nodded in shame: "I am too careless. I really never considered the feelings and circumstances of my mother and concubine... Mu Bai, please accompany me into the palace. , Can you visit your mother and concubine?"

"Then you need to say?"

……

In the middle of the banquet, Qin Mubai followed Li Daozong and Li Ke and followed the ceremony to toast Li Shimin. Li Shimin smiled and drank and waved his hand: "Come, accompany me to change clothes."

Qin Mubai put down his wine glass and followed Li Shimin out of the banquet hall. He knew in his heart that he must have a lot to tell him privately.

The monarch and the minister first went to the latrine for convenience, and then walked back slowly. Li Shimin cut his back and said leisurely: "Mu Bai, how do you think I treat you?"

"Entong is rebuilt." Qin Mubai said briefly.

Li Shimin nodded lightly, and said: "Your father and my fellows have bathed in blood for more than ten years, and love is more like a brother than Jin Jian. I have regarded you as a nephew. Actually, I am not confused. I don’t know that you are a hundred times stronger than that room’s widow’s love? But the hidden feelings and difficulties in this make me very helpless. Did you know that?"

"Weichen can count the pains and difficulties of your majesty." Qin Mubai said.

"I also believe that you are a reasonable person, so I don't need to say anything." Li Shimin said, and sighed lightly, "Gao Yang, is my beloved daughter, and Feng Ruogui has cherished her since childhood. The thing is, letting her marry a good family can make her safe and precious for her life. But I was wrong. Her character is very like me, she would rather be jade than perfect, as long as she has her own thoughts and thoughts, then nine I can’t pull the cow back. Over the past year, my heart has been broken, and Gao Yang has been bruised and bruised. For me, it’s easy to rule a big country, but it’s hard to treat a woman!"

Qin Mubai probably guessed what Li Shimin wanted to say, so he took the initiative: "Your Majesty, the Weichen also said in his heart today. From the beginning, the Weichen really didn't think much about Princess Gaoyang. The words were false, and the sky thundered! But then...Weichen was also really moved by her persistence and sincerity. If there are women like this, how can the husband ask for it?"

Li Shimin's footsteps stopped and his expression was slightly stagnant, turning his head to look at Qin Mubai, and muttered: "There is a woman who is like this, why do you want a husband... Is this your truth?"

"It is true." Qin Mubai said categorically.

"Okay. In this way, Gao Yang can be regarded as not entrusted with inhumane..." Li Shimin raised his head and sighed, and said leisurely, "Actually, what I want to do most is like many fathers in the world. Stay by your side and don’t leave one step. But I can’t be so selfish, it’s too unfair to Gao Yang. She is destined to have her own husband and family, and her own independent life. I believe in you, so... I intend to officially entrust Gao Yang to you."

"Thank you, your majesty!" Qin Mubai solemnly answered with his fists.

"Hold on." Li Shimin interrupted him suddenly and said, "Do you know why I didn't announce it in public?"

"This..." Qin Mubai thought for a while and nodded, "Weichen understands that now is indeed not the time. At least, Fang Xianggong's place..."

"Yes, even if I don't want royal dignity, I should at least take care of the face of Fang Xuanling, the prime minister?" Li Shimin said, "So, you and Ling'er, I allow you to be together, but It is impossible to get married in the short term. You must also assure me that Linger will not cause any problems in the future."

"Well, Weichen promises!" Qin Mubai nodded and promised.

"Hey..." Li Shimin sighed helplessly, and then smiled again, "Hehe, now in this world, I am afraid that only you can use her. Even I am today's son, and still a father. There is nothing to do with her."

"Your Majesty joked. In fact, in her heart... His Majesty still respects her very much. It's just that when her child has a temper, she doesn't care about anything. Your Majesty must not go to her heart." Qin Mubai smiled. Tao.

"Hehe, before they got married, did you know that the nurse helped her out?" Li Shimin smiled, patted his shoulder affectionately, and stared at him with some kindness, and said, "The son-in-law is the half son. Mu Bai, you and I will be considered as a family from now on. You are my confidant and close minister, so there are some words that are not enough to communicate with outsiders. I have to talk to you."

"Your Majesty, please tell me!" Qin Mubai said.

Li Shimin nodded and said with a smile: "I will speak with you frankly and openly! Li Ke wrote to ask me to sell you and accompany him to Xiangzhou as an official. I was unwilling at the beginning. But after thinking about it carefully, Li Ke’s move was quite appropriate. What do you think?"

Qin Mubai nodded silently: "Actually...Even if His Royal Highness Wu does not propose, the minister will take the initiative to ask your majesty for instructions. The minister, do not want to embarrass your majesty!"

"Well, I know that you have always been smart. But I never meant to drive you away from Baiqi." Li Shimin said, "As everyone knows, you and Princess Gaoyang have quarreled again and again. Short and long, even though I am the lord of the world, I have to worry about being fearful!"

"Weichen can understand your majesty's feelings." Qin Mubai nodded and said, "You have to guard against it. Since the weichen staying in Baiqi will make your majesty so difficult, so why not change the environment? This not only makes your majesty easy, the Weichen also...get a relief!"

"Hehe, I am very pleased that you can think so. Originally, I was a little worried that you would feel unhappy and resent me!" Li Shimin laughed.

"Your Majesty, don't worry, although the ministers are superficial in wisdom, they are definitely not ungrateful and unclear people!" Qin Mubai said.

"So, I got rid of it but got sick, which is very good." Li Shimin said, "I thought about it again and again. Only then did I also ask the opinions of King Jiang Xia and Li Ke, and decided to appoint you to Xiangzhou Prefecture. The position of Wei. The official position is not big, of course it is not as glorious and magnificent as the Baiqishi, but it is a practical official position. It is not so easy to manage more than two thousand people. Mu Bai, you have the confidence to manage Do this job well?"

"Your Majesty, don't worry, we ministers have long been looking forward to working hard in the army, and will definitely cherish this opportunity to manage Xiangzhou Military Mansion!" Qin Mubai said.

"Well, I believe in your abilities." Li Shimin patted Qin Mubai on the shoulder and smiled. "In addition, the reason why I agree that you will be transferred to an official office with Ke'er has another meaning. Zhizi Moruo Father, Ke'erying fruit is like me, but I have the bad faults of frivolousness and arrogance, and there are also some good eyes and low hands. I have already sent Yushiquan Wanji, who is known for his strictness, to control him. It worked, but it couldn’t get rid of his vices. This time you and Ke'er went to Jiangzhou on business together, and I found that he had changed a lot, which made my eyes shine. This counts and counts, it should be that you have produced a good for him. Influence. When you went to Xiangzhou this time, you and Ke'er helped each other out with each other and managed the place together. At the same time, you two are also good friends. I hope you can be more admonishment by his side and guide him to be kind, diligent, and loving. Being strict with oneself and self-consciousness, so that I can have no worries in my heart!" "This...His Royal Highness Wu is extremely clever, wise and knowledgeable. Compared with that, the ministers are still immature, and they can only learn and encourage each other. "Qin Mubai said.

"Hehe, don't have to be humble." Li Shimin smiled, "In the past, the emperor of the past, the emperor Dayu, used sparse instead of blocking to cure floods. I use Quan Wanji to strictly restrain Li Ke, which is to use blocking; To use you to guide Li Ke is to use sparseness. Now I have sent the two of you to him, and that is the combination of sparseness and sparseness. I only hope that he can change his bad habits and follow good habits, without losing hope."

"Your Majesty is really hardworking." Qin Mubai said.

"Hehe! Often the smarter the child, the more worrying parents are. Look at Gao Yang or Li Ke, which one is not the case? My concubine, like Yun, has many children, so I really broke my heart!" Li Shimin laughed somewhat self-deprecatingly "But one thing is interesting. Several of my sons and daughters, such as Li Ke, Li Ke, Gao Yang, and Si Zi, have a lot to do with you. I just won’t accept you as a son-in-law, if I don’t want to treat you as a writer It’s hard for people!"

"Haha, your Majesty is really joking! This may be... also fate!"

"Well said, it is fate!"

The monarch and his subjects had a very happy conversation, Li Shimin took Qin Mubai's shoulder into the banquet hall, and everyone couldn't help but shine.

The banquet continues. Li Shimin, the emperor, does not usually have any big airs. He is approachable and unrestrained. Even Li Daozong's youngest son can climb on his lap and pull his beard. A banquet, but also a good meal. Qin Mubai, a son-in-law who "has never been in the house", did not feel like an outsider. It was probably some of the people present who had a close relationship with him.

Princess Gao Yang glanced secretly at Li Shimin, who was coaxing a few children, and dragged Qin Mu's white robe in a low voice: "You have been away with your father for so long, and you all laughed when you came back. Why are you talking so vigorously?"

"It's nothing, I'll talk to you later. After the family dinner is over, I will accompany you to the harem and visit your mother and concubine."

"Oh... alright!"

After a long time, the banquet dissipated. Li Shimin was already half-bodied with some alcohol, and he set up his car to return to the palace. The crowd paid their respects to the gate of King Jiangxia’s palace. Li Shimin boarded the Luang car, looked back at Princess Gao Yang who was holding Qin Mubai’s elbow, and said with a smile: “It’s really a female congress!”

"What?" Princess Gao Yang blushed, sticking out her tongue and making a face, just holding Qin Mubai's elbow.

"If this were the old days, you would have jumped to my Luanjia early and sat on my lap to be naughty and coquettish, right?" Li Shimin laughed, "Ling'er, if you have time, you might as well go back to the palace to visit your mother and concubine— —Okay, let's go!"

"Get up and drive back to the palace!"

"Send your majesty--"

Princess Gao Yang stared at the emperor Luan who was about to disappear for a long time before murmured: "Mu Bai, am I... really too much?"

"Do you mean to treat your father?"

"Yeah! I'm suddenly...something sour! I think my father is also very wronged." Princess Gao Yang wiped her nose, her face collapsed, as if she was about to cry.

"It seems that you will be sensible soon." Qin Mubai laughed.

"What, do you mean that I didn't know what to do before?" Princess Gao Yang instantly regained the shape of a little devil, her teeth and claws angered.

Li Daozong and Li Ke both laughed.

"Why are you laughing? Really! I always like a group of people to make fun of me, making me like a joke..." Princess Gao Yang murmured with her mouth poked.

"Li Ke, let's go! This little girl is not something ordinary people can afford!" Li Daozong laughed, and took Li Ke into the house.

Qin Mubai smiled and said: "It is rare that your conscience finds it once, but everyone is actually admiring you!"

"Bah, you really can't speak, don't I have a conscience before?" Princess Gao Yang scolded angrily.

"There are, but there is no'discover' it!" Qin Mubai smiled, "Okay, stop fangs and claws at the gate. Didn't you say that you want me to accompany you to visit your mother and concubine in the harem? Can you go?"

"Go! But I want to go back to Prince Wu's Mansion to pack up and go." Princess Gao Yang said.

"Why are you packing up?"

"Because I want to go back to the palace for a few days, so I can stay with my father and mother!"

Qin Mubai nodded in relief: "Well, it seems that you are indeed mature, grown up, and sensible!"

"Fuck you, smelly man!"

The two didn't call Li Ke anymore, and went to the Wu Prince's Mansion first. They called Princess Gaoyang's servants to pack up and drove to the palace. Qin Mubai was still riding a horse, accompanied by Princess Gao Yang's carriage.

Princess Gao Yang stretched her head to the car window, stared at the familiar imperial city for a long time, and said with deep feeling: "When I left here, I thought more than once that I would never come back again. No I thought that within a few days, I returned willingly again."

"That's because blood is finally thicker than water. Here you are born and nurtured, how can you give up and give up?" Qin Mubai said.

"Hmm..." Princess Gao Yang bit her lip, nodded, and said again, "But I still feel a little reluctant to go back to the palace..."

Qin Mubai looked at her and smiled: "Stupid. I can't fly anymore."

"But you will leave Chang'an soon..." Princess Gao Yang curled her lips and murmured a little sadly, "I really don't want you to go, I really want to accompany you anywhere. But ...I know now, I can't be so selfish. What should I do, I am so contradictory!"

"Don't I want to leave after the New Year? There is still time, I believe it can help you untie this knot." Qin Mubai said affirmatively with a smile.

The corners of Princess Gao Yang's mouth rose slightly and smiled: "I believe you!"
