Chapter 76: Entrusted by Man

Princess Gaoyang spent a lot of time talking at length, and finally explained the causes and consequences of her appearance in King Wu's mansion clearly. Almost starting from the first conflict between her and Qin Mubai, including how she was frightened in the woods today, and how enjoyable it was to go to the west at night, she forgot the time for a while, and talked about it for half an hour.

"Fourth brother, do you understand?" Princess Gaoyang took a sip of tea and looked at Li Ke.

"Why are you doing so much, you just said it, didn't you elope with Qin Mubai, wouldn't it be completely explained?" Li Ke smiled maliciously, "You're very nervous, Seventeenth Sister." ”

"Iβ€”How can I!" Princess Gao Yang's face flushed, and she smiled to hide it, "I'm happy today, so I'll tell you more stories!" Fourth brother, long time no see, how are you? ”

"Yes, very good. You see I'm getting fat. Li Ke smiled and said, "Okay, it's late." You go to sleep first. Your sister-in-law is not here, you can sleep in her room, and I will call someone to serve you. ”

"What's the hurry, let's talk about it again?" Princess Gaoyang turned her head and glanced at Qin Mubai, as if she was a little worried that this guy would slip away like this.

"What are you talking about at such a late hour?" Li Ke yawned, "Let's talk about it tomorrow!" Well, go to sleep. ”

"Okay......" Princess Gaoyang couldn't find an excuse to go on any longer, so she had to nod her head sheepishly, and when she left, she couldn't help but say to Qin Mubai: "Don't you want to slip away, promise me to take me to the world's first wine to play!" ”

"Okay, go to sleep!" Qin Mubai smiled all over his face, and finally coaxed Princess Gaoyang away.

"You're good!" As soon as Princess Gaoyang left on her front foot, Li Ke laughed jokingly, "I haven't seen you for a few months, but I've grown my strength." Hooking up blindly outside with my daughter-in-law behind my back - it's my royal sister who hooks up, the pearl of my father's palm. ”

"Don't talk nonsense, I don't know how much headache I have right now!" Qin Mubai looked up to the sky and sighed, looking very wronged.

"As you can imagine, I sympathize with your plight." Li Ke smiled evilly, "My seventeenth sister, that is one of the most difficult women in the world to be messed with, but she is still a princess, and she is a very favored princess." Whoever gets involved with her will have a hard time. I, who is the emperor's brother, have always been in awe of her. You'd better take it easy. ”

"I know that all too well." After not seeing each other for a few months, Qin Mubai felt that he and Li Ke were still as close as they were at the beginning, which made him feel very good.

Li Ke is a smart person, no shelf, although he has a city government, he is not as false and yin as Li Tai. Compared with the two, regardless of his political position, Qin Mubai would rather be friends with a prince like Li Ke.

"That girl is actually playful and willful, you just need to keep a sense of proportion. Don't ...... Inch by inch! Li Ke laughed.

"How is that possible?" Qin Mubai smiled bitterly, "Even if I am really cowardly, I have never thought of doing such a thing. Okay, let's not talk about her. Your Highness, do you know what happened to the world's No. 1 wine a few days ago? ”

"Naturally, I know that it has something to do with my uncle of the Han Dynasty!" Li Ke smiled and said, "After the incident, Wu Meiniang ran to my house as soon as possible and asked me for help. I didn't say yes to her at the time, and she was probably a little angry. ”

"I understand. Mei Niang shouldn't be angry with His Royal Highness. Qin Mubai said.

"I know that you are an understanding person, in fact, Mei Niang also knows that she is just helpless for a while, and she can't think of where to ask for help. She even wanted to go to your house to ask your father Yiguo Gong for help, and even thought about directly informing His Majesty the Emperor of this matter through Zheng Fengchi's network. However, they were all stopped by her mother, Mrs. Yang. Li Ke picked the corners of his mouth and smiled, "Mrs. Yang was born in the former Sui royal family, and she is still related to my mother, she is not an ordinary woman, and her mind is not simple!" ”

"That's true." Qin Mubai said, "If Wu Meiniang really did this at that time, then the matter would not be so easy to solve." Go and ask my father for help...... With my father's character, not only will he not come forward to deal with this kind of boring thing on the Fengyue field, but he may also have a great impression of Wu Meiniang. If the complaint is brought to the emperor...... Then, we will never be at odds with the King of Han from now on. Moreover, this matter damaged the reputation of the royal family, and once it became a big fuss, the emperor's face was also disgraced. Coupled with the previous engagement turmoil between me and Wu Meiniang, if the emperor turned out the old accounts hidden in his heart, it would be really hard to say. ”

"So I told Wu Meiniang at the time, don't pay attention to it, let it be." Li Ke said, "I understand the character of King Han. Although he is unruly and amorous, he always has a fear in his heart, that is, his father. If he really dares to do anything at the feet of the Son of Heaven in Chang'an City, he will rob the people's daughters and forcibly take their wives, then his good life will be over. Therefore, I expected early on that he was holding on to the three fairies and was just putting on a show, so that the business of the world's No. 1 wine could not continue, and Wu Meiniang had to take the initiative to beg him. Sure enough, King Han couldn't wait any longer, so he had to let him go. ”

"Your Highness, do you think that King Han is really a person who has no patience to let go?" Qin Mubai smiled coldly, "I'm afraid he's not so timid and breathless, right?" ”

"What do you mean?" Li Ke frowned and asked suspiciously.

Qin Mubai told Li Ke in detail about Princess Gaoyang's handling of this matter and methods.

"......I see," Li Ke's expression became slightly solemn, "It seems that if it weren't for Gao Yang's appearance, King Han might not be willing to compromise easily?" ”

"I don't know." Qin Mubai said lightly, "All in all, this time it was he who took the initiative to insult me. I think that the beam between me and the King of Han has already been concluded. ”

"I know...... If anyone dares to molest my princess, whether he succeeds or not, I will not spare him. Li Ke wrinkled his brows and said, "But Mu Bai, I advise you to try not to clash with him head-on." You don't have a chance of winning. ”

"That's definitely not it, it's not at the point where fire and water are incompatible!" Qin Mubai didn't want to say too much in front of Li Ke, after all, he was also a member of the royal family, and Li Yuanchang was an uncle and nephew, so he changed the topic and said, "I don't know where Mei Niang is now?" ”

"After the Han Wang's incident, she handed over the store to her two brothers and Zheng Anshun, the son of Zheng Fengchi, to take care of it together, and she accompanied her mother and sister to travel around and go back to her hometown to save her relatives." Li Ke said.

"Oh?" Qin Mubai was both a little disappointed and a little happy in his heart. I was disappointed that I finally came back from a vacation, but I couldn't see my fiancΓ©e; Rejoice...... There is no need for Halley's Comet to hit the earth, Wu Meiniang is not there, even if Princess Gaoyang goes to the first wine in the world, it will be a slap that can't be slapped!

"By the way, I'm asking you something." Li Ke said, "My father has been in a good mood recently? ”

"It's good." Qin Mubai said, "Your Highness is looking for an opportunity to face the saint and seek an errand to do, right?" ”

"Isn't it, I've already had that intention." Li Ke said, "One pass in this palace is half a year, and I think it should be about the same." I just don't know what the right opportunity is for me to get back on the stage. ”

Qin Mubai thought for a moment and asked, "What kind of opportunity does Your Highness need?" ”

"It will definitely not be my turn to lead troops to fight, and it would have been good to send the imperial Shi Qincha to the locality, but I myself was impeached for misconduct, and it was not enough to convince people. Therefore, it is better to have a history of thorns in any state capital, or the bones of the governor have left office, or there are vacancies and transfers, which is more suitable for me. Li Ke said.

"Okay, I'll keep an eye on you." Qin Mubai said, "But...... Shouldn't you be guilty of your sins? ”

"If there is a river or a locust plague, an earthquake, or a riot, you must notify me as soon as possible." Li Ke said, "At this time, it is only appropriate for me to go out to do things on behalf of the imperial court as a prince. ”

"Okay. At that time, as long as the imperial court needs to employ people, I will definitely inform His Highness as soon as possible. "As long as he doesn't betray the emperor and leak the secrets of the empire, Qin Mubai is still willing to do Li Ke a favor in this kind of thing.

"Okay, then I'll wait for your news." Li Ke said with a meaningful and grateful smile.

"It's getting late, and it's time for me to go. Before leaving, I would like to ask Your Highness for a favor. Qin Mubai stood up and bowed his hand.

Li Ke laughed: "You miss me, take Gao Yang out tomorrow so that you can get out, right?" ”

"Those who know me, Your Highness!" Qin Mubai also laughed.

"Don't worry, just leave this matter to me. After all, it's not a good thing to let outsiders know that she ran out of the palace with you and didn't return all night. I'll take her through the market tomorrow, just enough to stop the rumors. Li Ke smiled, "Go back, remember to say hello to Shuang'er on my behalf." ”

"Just greetings to Frost?" Qin Mubai said with a smile.

"Of course, I also want to greet the Wing Kingdom Gongxian and his wife. You wait first. Li Ke got up and went back to his study, took out a purple sandalwood box and handed it to Qin Mubai, "I've been waiting for Shuang'er to come to my house to drink tea, but for half a year, she hasn't come." You can help me carry this box of tea. The blue moon that has just been brought from Anzhou is a good imperial tea. ”

Qin Mubai took the tea and nodded and smiled, but he felt a little strange in his heart.

Why does it look like the two of us are "exchanging sisters" with each other? Li Ke and Shuang'er, me and Gao Yang...... It's messed up, it's messed up, it's all messed up!

Bidding farewell to Li Ke and leaving his room, Qin Mubai chatted for a while with Yuwen Hongtai, who was guarding the guard post at the gate of the palace. I don't know if Li Ke really valued Yuwen Hongtai, a fierce general who was both honest and loyal, or because of Qin Mubai's recommendation, Yuwen Hongtai, who had just entered the palace, has now replaced the position left by Qin Mubai at the beginning, and together with Yin Yang, he was promoted to the captain of the inner account of the Wu Palace, and he was in charge of half of the soldiers and horses of the palace, and became Li Ke's personal confidant.

The Qin family was not far from King Wu's mansion, and it didn't take long to arrive. Looking at the familiar door, Qin Mubai breathed a sigh of relief: "It feels like home, it's really good." ”
