When he came to the gate of the barracks, Qin Mubai didn't see Princess Gaoyang's person. I asked the guard of the camp, and the guard said that the princess had just come and showed her face and left with her words, saying that "your general knows where I am."

Qin Mubai muttered in his heart: No, this is not like the little devil's usual style of "stalking and fighting" and "not giving up until the goal is achieved", as if I am sure that I will "definitely" go to the Yushui Bridge to find her. He also said that if I didn't come, she would hit her head and die...... Something must have happened, otherwise she wouldn't have suddenly been so unusual.

After thinking about it, Qin Mubai still decided to take a look.

On the side of the Yushui Bridge, Princess Gao Yang sat on the stone bench as usual when she was learning the piano, holding her cheek with one hand, looking at the flooding river in a daze. Bei Yan bit his lip, and his usual proud and mischievous look was replaced by melancholy and sadness, and he sat motionless like a statue.

Qin Mubai walked over and saw her like this, and couldn't help but be a little surprised: where is this the usual energetic and eccentric little devil, clearly like a little resentful woman who has just fallen out of love!

"Princess, I'm coming." Qin Mubai walked up to her and said softly, "What's wrong with you?" ”

Princess Gaoyang didn't speak, she was still looking at the river in a daze, and the tears in her eyes couldn't help but roll down, sliding down from her white cheeks to her cheeks, a little bit of it.

Qin Mubai shrugged his brows in surprise, bent down and patted her shoulder, and said softly, "What's so serious that it makes you cry?" Don't cry, tell me, what's going on? ”

"Woo......!" Princess Gaoyang's long-suppressed emotions were stimulated by Qin Mubai's gentle words, and she suddenly cried bitterly, turned her head and hugged him in Qin Mubai's arms, crying profusely.

"Okay, it's okay, it's okay to cry." Qin Mubai had no choice but to stroke his shoulder and pat him gently, because he didn't know what to say to persuade her.

Princess Gaoyang's body shrugged and shrugged her crying, and she only vented her grievances full of joy. After a long time, her emotions finally calmed down a little, so she let go of Qin Mubai, a little embarrassed and turned her back to him, wiping her tears with her sleeves.

Qin Mubai sat down on the stone bench behind her, and he didn't rush to speak, so he sat quietly with her. He thought to himself that the people and things that could make Princess Gaoyang so miserable must be related to the emperor. Since it is a royal family matter, how can I take the initiative to ask about interfering too much? She would like to say, then she said to herself, that it was necessary for her to be a listener as a friend, and to help as much as she could; If she doesn't want to say, she won't ask.

After a long time, Princess Gaoyang finally calmed down, but she still carried Qin Mubai behind her back, and muttered to herself: "You marry me." ”

The tone was neither a question nor an exclamation, but rather a bland statement about something that had nothing to do with her.

"What did you say?" Qin Mubai was a little suspicious of his ears.

"I said, 'Marry me!' Princess Gao Yang turned her face and stared straight at Qin Mubai's eyes, her eyes and expression were a little tragic.

"This! …… Why did you say this all of a sudden? Qin Mubai frowned, and quickly calculated in her heart: Judging from Princess Gaoyang's reaction just now, she must have been wronged by the emperor, otherwise there would be nothing else in the world that could make her so excited and sad. Now she suddenly said that she was going to marry me—it must have been the emperor who was suddenly going to marry her, and she was married to someone she didn't like very much!

Could it be that Li Shimin, like in history, wants to marry Princess Gaoyang to Fang Yiai? !

"Don't talk about him left and right, and don't ask too much - I'll let you marry me, do you hear!" Princess Gao Yang suddenly stood up excitedly, waved her arms, and roared almost hysterically.

"Princess, don't get excited!" Qin Mubai hurriedly stood up and grabbed her shoulders and said, "If there is anything to explain slowly, there is no problem that cannot be solved." You're so excited and impulsive, it's only going to make things worse! ”

"I don't care! Kill me and don't marry that good-for-nothing kid! Princess Gaoyang bit her lip, struggled to shake off Qin Mubai's hands, and suddenly waved her hand at Qin Mubai, "Are you a man?" I asked you to marry me, why don't you want to express your position? Am I Li Ling still worthy of you?! ”

Really! - Qin Mubai's heart moved, sure enough, the emperor was going to marry Princess Gaoyang out, and this marriage made Princess Gaoyang extremely disgusted!

"That's not what I meant at all. The princess's golden branches and jade leaves are more than enough for a hundred Qin Mubai. Qin Mubai said, "But the focus of the question now is obviously not whether I am willing to marry you." Even if I wanted to, would I be able to marry? At the very least, His Majesty the Emperor won't agree, right? ”

"Don't mention him!" Princess Gao Yang was even more excited, covering her ears and jumping to her feet and shouting, "He doesn't like me anymore, he doesn't want me anymore!" He's going to give me away as an object, he's not the father I used to be! ”

"Woo woo woo ......" Princess Gaoyang roared this, and suddenly sat down on the ground dejectedly, crying bitterly.

Qin Mubai shook his head and sighed, thinking to himself, it seems that Princess Gao Yang was indeed greatly stimulated by the emperor. For so many years, her father has always been the person she respects and loves the most, and Li Shimin has indeed always doted on her very much, which has also become her biggest life capital and spiritual pillar.

But now, a brown marriage has destroyed it all. The current Princess Gaoyang must have the feeling of being abandoned by Li Shimin, thinking that she has nothing. The backstage and pillars that she was proud of in the past all collapsed in an instant...... This blow is far bigger than asking her to marry a man she doesn't love. So she rebelled, preferring to die rather than marry the person his father appointed for her, so as to fight and vent, in fact, in the final analysis...... She did all this in the hope of winning back Li Shimin's father's love and getting back everything she once had.

This little girl may have a good impression of me, but it is definitely not to the point where she has developed to the point of "I don't marry". In fact, she is still very young now, even if she is precocious, she is at most in love, how can she take the initiative to think of talking about marriage? Therefore, what she said asked me to marry her was just a cover and a weapon to stimulate and fight back against Li Shimin. But...... It's too "tireless" for her to drag me into the water like this, doesn't this push me Qin Mubai to the emperor's gun?

Thinking about these clearly, Qin Mubai squatted down to the crying Princess Gaoyang, patted her on the shoulder, and said, "Princess, in fact, things may not be as bad as you think, maybe there is room for redemption?" ”

"Is there one?" When Princess Gaoyang heard this, she suddenly came to her senses, let go of her hands covering her face and turned her head to look at Qin Mubai, her red eyes and the rouge gouache on her face were all washed out of tears one by one.

"Look, what kind of crying has it been?" Qin Mubai smiled and handed him a handkerchief, "Wipe it clean, sit down, let's talk slowly, and think of a perfect plan." It is certainly not the best way for you to act recklessly against His Majesty the Emperor like this. You have always been such a smart person and know the emperor's mind best, why are you suddenly confused? ”

Qin Mubai's words were too useful to Princess Gaoyang. She took the handkerchief and stood up, turned her head to wipe her face, and pointed to the stone bench: "Then sit down and talk!" I said that the fourth brother said, you guy has the most bad ideas, you can quickly think of a way for me! ”

"Hehe, that Weichen obeyed, Her Royal Highness the Princess!" Qin Mubai sat down beside her with a smile, pretended to be nervous and looked around, and whispered: "It's a matter of the royal family, and I, a foreign minister, have no right to interfere, this is a taboo thing." So, you must keep it a secret! ”

"Don't worry!" When Princess Gao Yang saw his thief look, she immediately burst into laughter, "Am I the kind of person who betrays my friends?" Is! ”

"The princess has always been faithful and righteous and sticks a knife in the ribs for her friends, everyone knows this, haha!" Qin Mubai slapped a few words of sycophancy, and coaxed Princess Gaoyang into laughing again.

"Don't be poor, it's so annoying, it makes me cry and laugh for a while!" Princess Gao Yang complained in embarrassment, wiping her eyelids with a handkerchief.

"Okay, that's the end of the nonsense. Tell me, how is the Emperor going to arrange your marriage? Qin Mubai asked.

Princess Gaoyang bit her lip and told Qin Mubai about the emperor's plan to marry her to Fang Yiai.

"Sure enough...... It's really the same as in history! Qin Mubai sighed in his heart, "Could it be that this is the fate that Princess Gaoyang can't change?" ”

"Hey, I'm done, you can help me figure out a way!" Princess Gao Yang hurriedly said, "I don't want to marry that Fang Er even if I am killed!" That guy I saw before in the mansion of the third brother King Wei, he was stunned by the tiger's back and bear's waist, he was simply a barbarian, he only knew things like horseback riding, archery, hunting, drinking, and drinking, and he also formed friends with some sons and brothers and mixed up all day long, idle, eating, drinking, prostituting and gambling. I've only seen him once before and I hate him so much. And it made me marry someone like that...... How will I live in the future? ”

"That's right...... When I came forward to swim in the Qushui of the Wei Palace, I also saw that Fang Yiai. He said that he was waiting to marry the princess now, and then he would be prosperous and wealthy for the rest of his life. Tsk, what an ambitious man! Qin Mubai shook his head and said.

"At this time, you still fall into the well and mock me?" Princess Gaoyang glared at Qin Mubai angrily, "Everyone in Chang'an City knows that the second young man of the Fang family is a waste who has nothing to do with wine bags and rice bags, but my father turned a blind eye, and in order to show favor to Fang Xuanling, he wanted to reward me to the Fang family as if I was an item." He didn't want to think about how his daughter would live in the future, and if she lived a lifetime with someone like Fang Yiai, could she have a good life? ”

"Okay, don't get excited. Just make things clear, don't talk about His Majesty the Emperor, let's find a way. Qin Mubai rolled his eyes, thinking about it.
