Back home, it was getting late, and Qin Mubai was also dangling with alcohol. Cheng Huaibi and others sent him to the living room, and after begging for a cup of tea, he left with him.
Liu asked Shuang'er to prepare hot soup for him, and said grotesquely: "Really, I won't leave the house as soon as I come back, and I get drunk when I go out. Your father is not like you-yes, What about Princess Gaoyang, why didn't she come back with you?"
"Hey!" Qin Mubai who drank a little silly smiled, "Mother, what are you talking about? Gao Yang hasn't married before, how can he come back with me? Of course she stayed in the palace. !"
"Oh..." Liu responded, his expression seemed a little lonely, but also a little suspicious.
"What's wrong, mother, what do you think?" Qin Mubai asked.
"Nothing. Just...you married Gao Yang, what should Mei Niang do?" Liu asked in a low voice, "Actually, Mei Niang is a pretty good girl, she can know a lot about her inside, and she can support herself A big family business is not easy! The world despises a businessman, but she is an excellent woman for her mother. Only a woman who has experienced hardship knows that it is not easy to build a family, and then she knows how to raise a husband and teach her children. You go to Lanzhou For more than a year, you left her alone in Xiangzhou, and you have no idea? Now that your marriage with Gao Yang has been announced to the world, what will she think?"
Qin Mubai's heart trembled a little when he heard it, and he lay on a large chair with his head up and closed his eyes in thought. Liu's was a little annoyed, and slapped him on the leg: "Weiniang is talking to you!"
"Oh!" Qin Mubai smiled, opened his eyes and said, "Don't worry, I can take care of it. Actually, my marriage date with Gao Yang is still half a year away. The emperor suggested that I take you out to enjoy the mountains and rivers. ."
"Really?" Liu became excited when he heard it, "That's okay! Weiniang and your sister, but they haven't left Chang'an for many years! Or, let's go to Lanzhou to visit your father? "
"Oh? Haha!" Qin Mubai laughed, "Miss Dad?"
"The mouth is poor! It is not divided into ages!" Liu smiled and cursed, but his face blushed, and said, "When you moved to Lan, I wanted to bring Shuang'er there. But your father wrote a letter. , Said not to let us go, stay in Chang'an, and we followed. Now...no, let’s listen to you! Go wherever you say you go. Anyway, we don’t understand your national affairs and official rules. ."
"Haha!" Qin Mubai said with a smile, "Mother, I plan to go to Xiangzhou for a revisit; then, how about walking down Yangzhou along the river? The world is three clear moonlit nights, and the second rogue is Yangzhou. , Tusk, the scenery and prosperity there are unique!"
"What is there to go to in Yangzhou, Fengyue is prosperous..." Liu's lip curled when he heard it, and seemed a little unhappy, but he didn't say much.
"Where do you want to go, then?" Qin Mubai asked with a smile.
"Yangzhou is Yangzhou! Stop by and visit Xiangzhou. Weiniang misses Meiniang, a good boy." Liu said, as if reluctantly.
"Wow! Are you going to Xiangzhou?" An excited voice came from the door, and Shuang'er rushed in happily, "Mother, third brother, isn't it?"
"Yes, when you talk about eating, drinking, and having fun, you'll be eager." Qin Mu Bai Lian took the little girl's hand to hold it in her palm, and smiled, "Si Ya'er, you didn't want to go out for a long time. Huh? This time, where do you want to go, where will my brother take you!"
"Really?" Shuang'er smiled brightly, glanced at her mother, blushed and whispered, "Is it OK to go to Liaodong?"
"Shut up! You just have a good life!" Qin Mubai smiled and cursed. Anyway, his mother is not an outsider. He bluntly said, "You have to go to Li Ke not far away, are you?"
"Speaking of this, ah..." Liu shook his head, and sighed with pity and helplessness, "San Lang, you should persuade your father, he is too stubborn. Shuang'er is eighteen. If you don’t marry, others will laugh at us. In other words, after the death of the princess, Wu Wangzhi's temperament changed drastically, and he would not provoke other women. Now, marrying Shuang'er to him, I can rest assured. Both of them Since childhood, my childhood sweethearts fell in love with each other, so why can't they be together?"
Shuang'er blushed and stood aside, looking at Qin Mubai with aggrieved and helpless and helpless expressions.
Qin Mubai wrinkled his brows, not knowing how to answer. He also knows his current position in the family-originally he was only the son of a concubine, but now he has tried his best to provoke the Qin family's beams and bring the old Qin family back to life. Seeing that he is about to be married to Princess Gao Yang, he is also a member of the royal relatives; if his sister remarries Li Ke, that is also a good thing to kiss and kiss, and it can be justified in terms of family or customs. Moreover, Princess Wu has already passed away. If Shuang'er married in the past and nothing else, it would be easy for her to become the crown princess by relying on her personal relationship with Li Ke.
Everything seems to be a matter of course.
But the problem is also obvious.
One is the father's level. In Qin Shubao's mind, Li Ke is not the master of peace. As a concubine prince, being able and outstanding is a fault, which will inevitably lead to trouble in the future. This is one of the most direct reasons why Qin Shubao rejected the marriage of the two.
The second is the current environment. The Qin family wants to marry a daughter, although it is only a concubine, it is obviously not an ordinary marriage. The reason is that Shuang'er is the sister of Qin Mubai's mother. After a trip to Lanzhou, Qin Mubai's reputation and influence have been unprecedentedly high. Right now, he is about to marry Princess Gaoyang again, becoming a respectable relative of the emperor. It is conceivable that in the years to come, he is weak in the crown, and he will definitely be a figure in the court in the next few years.
Shuang'er marrying Li Ke is not so much the Qin family’s marrying daughter, as it is Qin Mubai’s marrying his sister—if he marries his sister to Li Ke at this time, everyone would think that he would stand firm. In Li Ke's camp. This will inevitably touch on the most sensitive and deadly topic of the moment-the battle for reserve.
In order to escape the invasion of this huge political turmoil, Li Ke has worked as an envoy of the Tang Dynasty to the Korean Peninsula in desperate need of his life. If Qin Mubai had proposed his marriage to Shuang'er to someone at this time, wouldn't it be that all his hard work would have been beaten up? ——To put it bluntly, Qin Mubai is now a weight in the matter of establishing a reserve!
……
"What are you thinking about with your eyes turned, Saburo? Our mothers are still waiting for you to speak!" Liu urged a little displeasedly.
"Oh..." Qin Mubai replied and said, "Mother, Si Ya'er, I have never forgotten this matter. But right now, it is indeed not a good time. This is a twist. I have been unable to explain clearly to you. I just want to say that if you pick up the marriage at this time, it will harm Shuang'er and Li Ke, and maybe even our old Qin family."
"Ah, so serious?" Liu Shi and Shuang'er were both surprised.
"Yes...The current situation in the court is more dangerous. You need to be cautious in everything." Qin Mubai frowned and said solemnly, "But don't worry, I have always cared about Shuang'er's marriage. I despised it. Wait for a while! When the limelight is over, I have my own opinion."
"Okay..." The mother and daughter looked at each other and nodded helplessly. Liu said, "San Lang, you have become a weapon. Not only did you support the old Qin family, but our mother and daughter also I can only count on you."
"Don't worry." Qin Mubai took the hands of his mother and younger sister left and right, the smiles on his faces were warm and soft, "You and Dad are my dearest people. Even if I abandon everything, I will not leave you. . Everything I do is for you and this family."
"Heh—bad guy! Bad guy!" Suddenly there was repeated scolding from the gate, and a colorful and light figure was running towards the hall.
When the three of them looked at it, they couldn't help being amused—it was Princess Goyang!
She carried her skirt and trot in an unimaginative way, her half-naked **** jumping like a pair of white rabbits, and her mouth was angry. When she rushed into the hall, she saw Liu and Shuang'er there. She was taken aback for a moment, and hurriedly withdrew her expression and stopped.
The expression changes quickly, just like the face change in Sichuan opera.
Liu's and Shuang'er held back their laugh, and came forward to bow. Princess Gaoyang waived the ceremony hurriedly, and said with a grin: "Auntie, Shuang'er, we will be a family soon, and there is no need to be polite in private."
The call of "Auntie" made Liu's heart warm and smiled. Even Qin Mubai secretly laughed at Princess Gao Yang. It's really sweet. Yesterday, I called my mother "Mrs. Qin". Today, I have one more aunt.
Qin Mubai drank a little too much, still sitting there slumped and too lazy to get up, squinted her eyes and hooked her finger at Princess Gao Yang: "Your Royal Highness, come over, please sit down."
"Oh, you rude fellow!" Princess Gao Yang was not angry, and came over with a grin, and immediately covered her nose: "I hate it! I was so drunk! No wonder I was thrown into the harem. , It turned out to be having fun on my own!"
Liu shook his head and smiled, and found an excuse to retreat first. Shuang'er sat down next to Qin Mubai with Princess Gao Yang, and smiled: "Your Royal Highness, my brother seems to have returned from Qin Xian Pavilion just now. You smell it, you are all smelling of Qin Xianjiu!"
"Really?" Princess Gaoyang immediately itched her teeth with hatred, she said, "Well, are there many beautiful beauties in Qin Xian Pavilion?" "
"That's--" Qin Mubai laughed heartlessly, "Everyone looks like a fairy and is full of enthusiasm. Well, I, as one of Qin Xiange's behind-the-scenes masters, I should check it out. Right?"
"Shut up, I don't want to listen to you anymore! I'm so angry!" Princess Gao Yang curled her mouth and turned away angrily.
"Haha!" Qin Mubai smiled, Princess Gao Yang has such a temperament, she went straight, at least in front of him, never knew how to hide her emotions.
"Hey!" Shuang'er snickered happily on the side.
Qin Mubai held Shuang'er angrily and gave her two chiseled chestnuts on her head, then pulled Princess Gaoyang, and took her to her arms to embrace her, and smiled: "Ling'er, don't Listen to her nonsense. I ran into Cheng Huaibi and others in the palace, and were pulled into the Baiqi Camp for a few drinks. Didn't you go to see your mother and concubine? I thought you were going to accompany her today, so I didn't bother you. "
"It's about the same..." Princess Gao Yang turned angrily and called out twice, and walked in with two of her personal servants, each carrying a bag of things.
"What?" Qin Mubai asked curiously.
"Hey! Mid-Autumn Festival is approaching! This is the lotus seed moon cake made by my mother herself. She asked me to bring two boxes to give you to eat!" Princess Gao Yang said with joy, "I like moon cakes the most!"
"Oh, moon cakes made by the newbie of Concubine Yinde?" Qin Mubai was also taken aback for a while, and muttered thoughtfully: "She still makes moon cakes?"
"Yes!" Princess Goyang smiled without any impurities, "My mother and concubine are now a Buddhist disciple. She lives in the Xuanwu Hall near the Huguo Tianwang Temple every day. She eats and recites the Buddha without leaving the house, at most one I went to Famen Temple once a month to pay my respects to my brother. I heard that we are coming back. She made moon cakes overnight!"
"Yes, that's great." Qin Mubai beckoned, and the two maidservants handed the mooncakes to him. He took it and smelled it, the refreshing fragrance, but not greasy at all.
Just like the concubine Yin De, the aloes are far away, calm as a lotus.
Qin Mubai was in a daze for a while, and the beautiful face of Concubine Yin De and her white hair like snow appeared unconsciously in her mind...
"Mu Bai, why are you in a daze?" Princess Gao Yang was a little annoyed, and gently pounded his knees, and said, "I ran out of the palace to give you moon cakes. Is there any reward?"
"Oh, how about taking a look?" Qin Mubai didn't change his face and heartbeat.
The maids all laughed, even Shuang'er blushed and snickered with her mouth covered.
"I hate it, I can't stop myself, it's time to fight!" Princess Gao Yang was ashamed and annoyed and punched him in the leg.
"Then...I will send you back to the palace myself?" Qin Mubai asked jokingly.
"Uh...this...it's good, but..." Princess Gao Yang flushed to the base of her neck, vomiting in her mouth.
Shuang'er chuckled and laughed a few times. She couldn't hold back her bluntly, and blurted out: "Your Majesty, you are going to be married to my brother anyway, will you live here tonight? Nothing. Disapproval!"
"Okay!" As soon as Shuang'er's words were over, Princess Gao Yang responded with excitement.
Qin Mubai calmly looked at her without speaking. Princess Gaoyang suddenly lost her composure, and she covered her face with her hands, wishing to dig a hole in.
"I just said yelling, it is obvious that you are here to borrow the night when you give moon cakes, right?" Qin Mubai deliberately opened which pot and did not lift which pot, and laughed heartlessly, "Shuang'er, you listen Are you here? Why don't you go and arrange a bedroom for Princess Gaoyang?"
"Hey! Yes, my sister obeyed, Qin Fuma!" Shuang'er responded with a grin, and pulled Princess Gaoyang out. Princess Gao Yang was ashamed and annoyed, got up and followed Shuang'er out, turning her head from time to time to give him a vicious grimace.
Qin Mubai sighed and lay down again, closing his eyes and resting. After a while, Liu went back and forth, holding a thick pile of things in his hand directly on Qin Mubai’s lap, and said, “I almost forgot. It’s only been a long time since you went to the palace, and the family received a large pile of things. Please post, you can do it yourself!"
Qin Mubai was stunned for a moment, picked up the invitation and looked at it.
There are about six or seven invitations, one is more beautiful and gorgeous. The host who sent the invitation is also a better one.
There are two of them, the most famous——
Prince Li Chengqian, invited Qin Mubai to a banquet in the East Palace tomorrow; Wei Wang Litai, invited Qin Mubai to participate in the poems of Qiuwei officials.
In addition, Su Dingfang, who is very interested in Qin Mubai, invited him to the Weiguo Palace to give Li Jing birthday. In fact, it's just a birthday invitation for changing directions. It turns out that Li Jing's birthday is approaching.
The other posts were temporarily put aside by Qin Mubai.
Taking the invitations from the prince and Li Tai, Qin Mubai was thinking: These people have a very sensitive sense of smell. I returned to Chang'an and immediately threw the olive branch over. Do you want to get me as soon as possible while Li Ke is away? Now such a very often, I don't even care about it. But... there is no reason to offend all.
With a bright heart, Qin Mubai thought of Princess Gaoyang. I could not help but smile to myself: Come on, I might as well let Princess Gaoyang decide which one to go to. Well, I, hung on the title of quasi-husband to eat a bargain, and let the limelight go to Gao Yang. If you bring Gao Yang, it means that your brother-in-law has gone to his uncle's house for a meal. At that time, it's okay to talk about family affairs, family affairs, or even poems and poems. I will avoid state affairs and government affairs.
"Just do it!" Qin Mubai couldn't help but smile to himself, got up and went to the backyard to look for Princess Gaoyang and Shuang'er.
Shuang'er is taking some maids from the house to clean up Princess Gaoyang's bedroom. Princess Gao Yang seemed a little absent-minded. Shuang'er asked her whether the bedding was good and whether the bronze mirror liked him. She thought about him and answered the wrong questions. Shuang'er didn't know that Qin Mubai and Princess Gao Yang had been in the bridal chamber countless times. How did she know that Princess Gao Yang wanted to get into Qin Mubai's bed at night for warmth, and where was she really interested in sleeping here?
Qin Mubai walked in, and Princess Gao Yang immediately came forward and hooked his arm, with a dark force in her hand, and then passed a playful and passionate look, Qin Mu Bai understood everything.
"Princess, if you are wronged at night, you will fall asleep here." Qin Mubai said deliberately, "My Qin family is shabby, it's not as comfortable as the palace!"
Princess Gao Yang glared at him sullenly. With Shuang'er and the maids present, she was not easy to have an attack. Qin Mubai handed the invitation card to her and said with a smile: "You decide, where to eat tomorrow's lunch?"
"Yeah, the prince and fourth brothers have come to invite, what can we do?" Princess Gaoyang was still in trouble.
Shuanger cleaned up the bedding and left, saying that she was going to Zhang Luo for some refreshments to prepare the princess for supper.
Qin Mubai also went out. Before leaving, she scratched Princess Gaoyang's nose, and smiled: "Or, good evening to discuss?"
"Hey, this is almost the same!" Princess Gao Yang smiled and turned to her maidservant and said seriously, "You guys, sleep here today, have you heard?"
"Yes, Your Majesty..." The maidservants held back a smile, and responded with a little grievance.
Qin Mubai heard these sounds behind him, shook his head and left with a smile, secretly said: Gao Yang is used to sleeping with me, so he will do the same when he returns to Chang'an, even the palace does not want to stay overnight...this guy, what etiquette Dignity and royal face are nothing short of clouds to her!
