Chapter 20: Together

After the text is written, it is natural that Qin Mubai will come out with advice and consideration. After going back and forth, Qin Shubao had to be impressed by his 'wise and almost demon' son.

Although Qin Mubai's official experience in the Zhenguan Dynasty is almost zero, he does not know the emperor himself. But in his opinion, human affection is an article. Politics is actually the study of getting along with people. In his previous life, he had the experience of getting along with so many different people and his extremely rich life experience, so his ability in this area was not bad.

After the matter was done, Qin Shubao really breathed a sigh of relief.

"For the sake of my father. The older a person gets, especially the longer he has been an official, the less courageous he becomes. Qin Shubao shook his head and said, "Didn't you say that you still have a clever plan to eliminate the emperor's heart knot?" It's a sharp blade hanging over your head, so you'd better be cautious. Although you are wise, your father should still warn you to keep a low profile and be cautious in all things, and not to be clever and think that others are fools. Okay, I'll leave the rest to you, and I won't bother with it anymore as a father. ”

"Father, don't worry." Qin Mubai himself also breathed a sigh of relief.

Walking on thin ice, but finally coming through. If you are not afraid of thieves stealing, you are afraid of thieves. We must find a way to make the emperor cut off his thoughts about Wu Meiniang, so that he can eliminate his grudge against me from the root.

After thinking about it for a long time, Qin Mubai sent his family to take a leave of absence from King Wu's mansion and didn't go out all day. After nightfall, against the stars and moon in the night, he knocked on the door of the martial arts family of the Ying Guo Mansion.

The martial artist obviously had a bit of a frightened bird, and the family came to open the door, followed by Wu Yuanqing peeping. As soon as he saw Qin Mubai, he panicked: "My God, you still dare to come here!" ”

After that, he took a step forward to block the door and prevent Qin Mubai from entering.

There was a 'bang', and the door that was about to be closed was stuck. Wu Yuanqing took a closer look, and it turned out to be an apricot-yellow scroll.

"Holy Decree?!" Wu Yuanqing had finally seen such a thing, and he screamed in surprise for a while.

"If you have the guts, pull the door a little tighter and smash it." Qin Mubai said coldly.

Wu Yuanqing immediately panicked, hurriedly opened the door himself, and welcomed Qin Mubai in with a panicked face.

"Captain Qin...... Hmm, brother-in-law, uh Qin ......" Wu Yuanqing was speechless for a while, he didn't know what to do with Qin Mubai, he slapped himself in the mouth, and he said in one breath: "What kind of holy decree is this?" ”

"Can't you see it yourself?" Qin Mubai casually threw the emperor's decree of marriage to him, and strode inside: "Where is Mei Niang, I want to talk to him in detail." ”

"Backyard Miscellaneous Room." Wu Yuanqing responded casually and hurriedly opened the holy decree.

"What did you say?!" Qin Mubai let out a low snort, stopped and turned around, his eyes glaring at him like knives.

At this moment, Wu Yuanqing had also finished reading the holy decree, and he was stunned, and muttered in his mouth: "Marriage...... The emperor actually gave you a marriage, this ...... That's incredible, isn't it? ”

"Wu Yuanqing!"

"Huh? At!! ”

Qin Mubai walked up to him, his tall figure was half a head taller than Wu Yuanqing, he looked at him condescendingly, and said in a deep voice: "Do you remember what you promised me?" ”

"Remember, remember. Brother-in-law, you should calm your anger first, heh, hehe! Wu Yuanqing smiled bitterly in extreme embarrassment, arched his hands and kept shaking, and said, "Isn't it that the room hasn't been cleaned up for a while?" Tomorrow, early tomorrow morning, I will invite them to the main house. Isn't that good? ”

"It couldn't be better." Qin Mubai grabbed the holy decree, grabbed a family member to lead the way, and strode towards the backyard.

Wu Yuanqing wiped a handful of cold sweat, shook his head and muttered to himself: "Xiao Ye is really a mourning star. It's not enough to provoke the surname Qin, but also to provoke the emperor. Originally, I thought that because of the marriage contract first, Ono would never be able to enter the palace, and then the surname Qin would never dare to have anything to do with Ono anymore. Who would dare to mess with a woman that the emperor doesn't want? I didn't expect the emperor and the surnamed Qin to be jealous, but the one surnamed Qin actually won...... Planning to drive Ono's family away tomorrow to avoid the limelight, why did this matter suddenly turn around again? It's really weird, I don't understand, I don't understand! ……”

I walked all the way to the backyard and came to a row of dilapidated small houses. Qin Mubai saw a yellow lamp the size of a chrysanthemum bean lit in one of the rooms, and there was a low sobbing coming from inside.

Stopping and listening, Qin Mubai heard a low voice coming from inside.

"Mother, it's all to blame on the annoying Qin Mubai. What kind of self-proclaimed amorous affair came to provoke me. If it weren't for him, I would have been in the palace by now. Maybe you can get a concubine queen in the future! It was obviously Wu Zhao's voice, but instead of a trace of sadness, it was filled with righteous indignation.

"Don't be stupid, my miserable son." Mrs. Yang was crying, and said babblingly, "To be a mother is from the royal family, and she knows everything in it." But any woman, entering there is like falling into a bottomless abyss, what's the good? The women there, everyone seems to have enjoyed the glory and wealth on the surface, but there are many people who will never see the emperor in their lives, and they can only be lonely until they are old and become a white-headed palace maid. There are many more who have died in intrigue and intrigue. How can this matter be whitened now? If you want to blame, at most, you can only blame the emperor for intervening sideways and ruining your beautiful marriage! ”

"Hmph, that's someone else! The daughter's entry into the palace will definitely not end like this! Mother, you are so confused, how can you blame the emperor for shielding Qin Mubai's guy? What's so good about him! ”

……

Qin Mubai heard this conversation outside the door and smiled slightly: That's right. This is Wu Meiniang's character. If she were like an ordinary woman, then she would not be the only empress in history. Now she has no chance to enter the palace, so she can only marry me Qin Mubai obediently...... This is interesting!

The mother and daughter were chatting energetically, one was angry and the other was sad, and Qin Mubai knocked on the door.

"Who?"

"Qin Mubai."

There was a noise in the house, and Mrs. Yang stepped forward to open the door, and looked at Qin Mubai in horror: "Virtuous son-in-law, you, why do you dare to come here?" ”

"Not only dare to come, but also come." Qin Mubai smiled slightly, stuffed the holy decree to Mrs. Yang, and said, "Mrs. Yang, I want to talk to Mei Niang alone, is it okay?" ”

Mrs. Yang hurriedly unfolded the holy decree and glanced at it, and suddenly her face was full of surprise: "Great...... Mei Niang, the emperor has given you a marriage! Okay, good, virtuous son-in-law, you talk, go to the next room for your mother to rest. ”

"Thank you, mother-in-law, for making it happen." Qin Mubai bowed his hand, and Mrs. Yang left happily.

Wu Meiniang heard the news but was indifferent, pouted with a face, sat on an old bed in the room, and didn't look at Qin Mubai directly.

Qin Mubai closed the door, walked to her side in a hurry, dragged a small pony to sit down, and said, "Mei Niang, you don't seem to be surprised at all when you hear the news of the emperor's marriage?" ”

"What's so strange!" Wu Meiniang glanced at Qin Mubai and snorted, "Isn't there a lesson from Zheng Renji's daughter?" The emperor will definitely not force me into the palace again. Since he can't enter the palace, the emperor can't get by on the face, in order to show the law and morality and the king's heart, of course, he has to pretend to be generous to give the marriage! ”

"Clever, really smart!" Qin Mubai slapped his face a few times, and was immediately impressed by the little girl in front of him who was only thirteen or fourteen years old - he was so smart and insightful at a young age, and he really had the talent of a big politician!

"Hmph, I don't need you to praise me! It's all your fault! Wu Meiniang glared at Qin Mubai hatefully, and muttered, "If it weren't for you, I would have entered the palace as a concubine, who would rarely marry you, a seven-grade sesame mung bean official!" ”

"Forgive you once. Such a thing is contrary to women's morality. If I dare to say it in the future, I will have to serve Wei Zhenfu's family law. Qin Mubai deliberately turned his face blank and said.

"Hmphβ€”you know how to bully a little girl like me!" Wu Mei Niang puffed up her face and turned her face away.

"Who said that. I'm here today, obviously to hurt you. Qin Mubai said, "Mei Niang, let's stop talking about anger and nonsense." Since you are so clever, I will make it clear to you - the fact before me is that you can no longer enter the palace. And no one in the world dares to marry you except me Qin Mubai, don't you doubt this? ”

"......" Wu Meiniang was depressed and entangled for a long time, and then she said in a loud voice: "What's the matter?" I know that after Zheng Renji's daughter was divorced by the emperor, she has not married until now, and she is hiding in the countryside and does not dare to go out. The woman that the emperor doesn't want, no one dares to mess with. Since the emperor has been a generous and good man this time, I have to marry you, and you don't dare to give me a letter of divorce, is that so? ”

"If only you understood." Qin Mubai said, "That means that now we are grasshoppers on a rope, and we must advance and retreat together." Together, we will lose and prosper together. If one party makes a mistake, he will not recover, and the other party will not die. ”

"Yes, I know. Am I still okay if I accept my fate? But don't think that this will kill me, and if you make me unhappy one day, I'd rather cut my hair and become a nun than marry you. Or, let's all finish together, huh! Wu Meiniang stretched out her voice and said very unwillingly.

This little girl is smart enough, fierce enough, ruthless enough, and she is really an opponent in chess!

After secretly sighing in his heart for a while, Qin Mubai said: "Mei Niang, it's not enough to just accept your fate. The emperor is also a man, and men are not happy that the woman they fancy is taken away by someone. He is now only forced to make concessions because of ethics and law, and he is pretending to be generous. It's hard to say whether there are pimples and shadows left in his heart. If there is, then there is a sword hanging over the heads of the two of us at all times. If we make a mistake, it may be that the new and old accounts are settled together, and we can't eat and walk around. ”

"Huh?" Wu Meiniang was stunned for a moment, obviously he may not have taken this into consideration. After all, she is a thirteen or fourteen-year-old unemployed little girl, and her thoughts about men are definitely not as thorough as Qin Mubai thinks.

"So what do you think we should do? Could it be like Jung In-ki's daughter, hiding from the emperor's sight for the rest of her life? I don't want to! Wu Meiniang said.

"I don't want to, and it's not my style to run away." Qin Mubai said, "I came today to discuss with you. There is only one way to eliminate this shadow and knot in the emperor's heart. ”

"What's the solution?"

"Dispel the emperor's concern for you, so that he is no longer interested in you, and even hates you. In this way, he will not regret not getting you and missing you. will even be glad that you were not recruited into the palace in the first place. Qin Mubai said.

"You disfigured me? You're too ruthless! Wu Meiniang jumped up suddenly, glaring at Qin Mubai with wide eyes.

"Am I such a person?" Qin Mubai smiled slightly, waved his hand to signal Wu Meiniang to sit down, and said, "You are very smart, knowing that the emperor wants to recruit you into the palace, he has taken a fancy to your beautiful face." But my method is by no means disfiguring you. ”

"Can't you make it clear all at once?" Wu Meiniang quietly exhaled and sat down.

"Okay, let's make it clear once." Qin Mubai said, "Actually, it's not difficult to do this. First of all, it is necessary to figure out what kind of woman the emperor likes. Let me ask you, who is the most beloved woman in the emperor's life? ”

"How do I know that?" Wu Meiniang snorted coldly.

"But I know." Qin Mubai smiled slightly, and said word by word, "The late Empress Eldest Sun!" ”

"Oh? It's her! Wu Meiniang's beautiful eyes flashed with wisdom, blinked her eyes, and nodded, "I understand what you mean." Since the emperor loves a virtuous and virtuous woman like Empress Changsun, then I behave the opposite of Empress Changsun in everything and everything, right? ”

"Clever! Mei Niang, you are so smart! Come, Ben Fu Jun rewards a deep kiss! Qin Mubai laughed loudly, and was about to kiss her on the face.

"Get out!" Wu Meiniang couldn't help but jump away a little crying and laughing, and said to herself thoughtfully, "This is indeed a good way to dispel the emperor's thoughts about me from the root...... But! Why should I dispel the emperor's thoughts about me? Hateful! ”

"Huh!" Qin Mubai smiled disappreciatively. He can see that Wu Meiniang is a guy who doesn't admit defeat. It is clear that he has accepted it in his heart, but he refuses to accept it.

Wu Meiniang glared at Qin Mubai angrily, clasped her hands to her chest and turned her face away, and muttered to herself: "Nasty guy! Who will be with you in the same boat, and everything will be at your mercy? Let me pretend to be crazy and stupid and become a shrew and evil girl, and you will try it instead? Hateful ......"

"It seems that Mei Niang has understood the core of this strategy, and Ben Fujun is relieved." Qin Mubai said with a smile, "When the emperor hears many rumors about you and hates you, then we have completed our merits and can justifiably talk about marriage." ”

"As if I would love to marry you...... Woo, why am I so miserable? I can't help anyone to marry, and I have to be at the mercy of you, the prodigal son, before I get married! Wu Meiniang stomped her feet in shame and annoyance, almost crying with hatred.

"Don't blame me, Mei Niang." Qin Mubai approached and said in a low voice, "It's not me who is at your mercy." In fact, I'm at the mercy of meβ€”fate is at our mercy. ”

"Destiny...... How does it not die? Wu Meiniang stomped her feet hatefully and scolded.

"Scold well, let fate die! We have to grasp our own lives. Qin Mubai gently patted her round shoulder, "Houmen is as deep as the sea. Believe me, you won't regret marrying me. ”

"The devil believes you, hum! ……”
