Qin Mubai stopped hiding it and told Wu Meiniang in detail about the matter with Princess Gaoyang from beginning to end. Wu Meiniang was told everything from the two getting acquainted due to conflict, to their gradual friendship, their meeting in Jiangzhou, plotting against Fang Yiai, and the emperor's revelation of the plot and the madness of Princess Gaoyang. However, the part about the affection between the two was of course omitted. Qin Mubai didn't want to take the initiative to look for trouble.
After Wu Meiniang heard this, she was stunned for a long time without saying anything.
"What, are you angry?" Qin Mubai came over and asked with a smile.
"No..." Wu Meiniang took a deep breath and said seriously, "Actually, I have known about your affairs for a long time. To be honest, I am indeed a little angry and jealous. But after hearing what you said just now, although this Princess Gaoyang She is unruly and willful, but she is really devoted to you. Her persistence is really touching. If I were a man, I would be tempted by her. Moreover, I think she is quite pitiful on the surface. The beloved princess is envied by others for her beauty and grace, but in fact there is endless bitterness deep inside. In comparison, I feel that I am much happier than her."
"That's right. I didn't like her at all at first, but after going back and forth, I was really moved by her. This little girl has a sense of stupidity. Even nine oxen can't drag her back if she is sure of something." Qin Mubai walked down the slope. The donkey struck while the iron was hot and said, "You didn't see the scene when she went crazy. It's so pitiful... Also, when Concubine Yin saw that she was going crazy, she also hanged herself. Fortunately, I found it in time. This mother and daughter are so pitiful. ”
"Do you like people just because they are pitiful?" Wu Meiniang rolled her eyes at Qin Mubai and said angrily, "You can pretend to be good even if you get an advantage!"
"Uh..." Qin Mubai laughed dryly and said, "That's not what I meant."
"I know!" Wu Meiniang hummed in a long voice, "Don't you just want to tell me that you are ready to be the consort?"
Qin Mubai's heart was filled with confusion, and his expression suddenly became stiff. He thought to himself: It's so amazing. How come she hit the target right away
"Are you speechless?" Wu Meiniang suddenly became much colder, "Then you came to break off the engagement with me and marry the princess in a glorious way, right?"
"No." Qin Mubai said, "Meiniang, you should know my feelings for you. It is true that there are many women hanging around me, but the only one I really want to marry is you. Do you believe it?"
Wu Meiniang raised the corner of her mouth slightly, seemingly reluctantly, but still nodded slightly.
"I don't want to hide some things from you. I hope to have a frank and honest talk with you." Qin Mubai said seriously, "After I entered the palace yesterday, the emperor asked me to visit the crazy Princess Gaoyang in the cold palace. The scene at that time was really shocking. She was so pitiful. After she went crazy, she didn't even recognize the emperor or the concubine, but she only recognized me. Her condition improved a lot. I felt more pity and a little bit moved towards her. , maybe I like her a little bit, but I can't compare with you. Concubine Yin proposed a stopgap measure to me, which was to verbally promise to cancel the marriage between Princess Gaoyang and the Fang family and grant me the marriage. I think this is mostly to stabilize Gaoyang. The princess's mood is concerned about her illness. The emperor and Concubine Yin are also worried about my engagement, so they didn't announce it, just for fear of embarrassing you and me. "
Wu Meiniang snorted softly and said: "Everyone knows that the emperor's daughter has no worries about marrying. As long as the emperor gives an order, do you still dare not to marry?"
"That's not what you say." Qin Mubai said, "The current situation is like this - Princess Gaoyang is crazy. Even if she is the emperor's daughter, few people are willing to marry a crazy woman. Furthermore, she had previously I have already promised to the Fang family, and now I have promised to another family... How can the emperor still have the confidence? Therefore, it seems that he is still asking me to accept Princess Gaoyang. "
"Hmph! So you got an advantage and acted like a good boy?" Wu Meiniang scolded angrily, "Who made you so romantic, provoking some women everywhere? And you only provoked those you couldn't afford! There was Chen Yan in the previous episode It's not enough, now a bigger thorn-headed Princess Gao Yang appears... I, I really can't stand you!"
"Mei Niang, don't be angry..." Qin Mubai hurriedly comforted her and smiled apologetically, "I didn't say that I would marry the princess immediately, nor did I say that I would break off the engagement with you? Everyone knows that I have You have a marriage contract, and it is a marriage granted by the emperor. This cannot be changed. But if the emperor's daughter wants to marry, I will not be embarrassed. The emperor and the concubine are in trouble now! Just say hello to you. In fact, no matter how hard they try, the two of us will never separate!"
"Well, this sounds like a human saying." Wu Meiniang finally smiled, but she was still a little unhappy and said angrily, "Then what are you going to do now? Concubine Yin asked you to take Princess Gaoyang out. The reason why I settled in Li Ke's house is obviously to facilitate the private meeting between you two. I can't bear to have you flirting with me under my eyes."
"Don't worry, don't worry, it won't happen." Qin Mubai quickly advised, "In fact, Princess Gaoyang has known for a long time that I have a marriage contract with you. Although she is a bit spoiled, domineering and unruly, she is not unreasonable. She wouldn't do anything like occupying a magpie's nest. Besides, she was really stupid. She once said that she didn't want anything else as long as we were together. Why would I care about my wife and concubines and compete with you?"
"I don't care about such a false reputation!" Wu Meiniang suddenly said loudly, "But I just can't stand sharing my man with other women!"
For a moment, Qin Mubai was speechless and murmured: "What should we do? How about cutting me in half and dividing it between the two of you?"
"Then if a few more women come, should you be piled into eight pieces?" Wu Meiniang rolled her eyes and scolded angrily.
Qin Mubai giggled; "They're all stacked anyway, it doesn't matter how many petals you have, just divide them up!"
"Hey, when I say that, you're so excited! You're a prostitute who's always looking for women!" Wu Meiniang was annoyed and rushed forward to twist Qin Mubai's arm.
Qin Mubai laughed, took advantage of the situation, took her into his arms, and said softly: "Meiniang, don't be angry. I will definitely be able to handle this matter, okay? I just don't want to hide it from you, so I tell you everything. Trust me , you are still the most important in my heart.”
"Huh..." Wu Meiniang smiled shyly and pinched Qin Mubai's face twice. She sat up and complained softly: "It's not shy in public. This is in my home..."
After a while, Mrs. Yang asked her maid to get Wu Meiniang breakfast. Although Qin Mubai had already eaten, he and Yang accompanied Wu Meiniang to eat some snacks.
During the meal, Qin Mubai asked: "Meiniang, where are Xue Rengui and his wife?"
"Oh! I asked the two of them to live in my house, but they refused. So I had to arrange for them to live in the No. 1 Winery in the World. There are rooms for servants there and the environment is not bad. I sent a tent Mr. Fang will teach Sister Xue how to manage the accounts, and she will be able to start work in two days," Wu Meiniang said.
"After dinner, let's go to the world's best wine together. I'm looking for Xue Rengui for something."
"good."
After dinner, Qin Mubai and Wu Meiniang went out together to have the best wine in the world. In a rare moment of leisure, the two of them walked down the street without any maids. Along the way, Wu Meiniang was still annoyed when she thought about Princess Gaoyang. From time to time she would glare at him or pinch him, and Qin Mubai would respond with a silly smile.
As Chen Yan said, love is selfish. No woman is willing to share her man with another woman unless she doesn't care about this man at all.
Wu Meiniang's reaction was beyond Qin Mubai's expectation. Firstly, Wu Meiniang is a very smart woman, and she will never quarrel with him or really fall out with him because of jealousy; secondly, Wu Meiniang has always been an extremely confident woman, and she believes that she can keep Qin Mu. In Bai's heart, no matter how many women there are around him, she firmly believes that she will always be the most favored one. Moreover, in the Tang Dynasty, every man with a little bit of success would have three wives and four concubines. This kind of thing has become a common practice and is inevitable. Even a rural farmer who harvested a few bushels of wheat wanted to take in a concubine. . As smart as Wu Meiniang, she would not be naive enough to restrict Qin Mubai with a tough attitude. She would be the only woman in his life. This was simply unrealistic.
"Since he always wants to take a concubine, who wouldn't take a concubine? Taking a princess would be of some benefit to him, and there's nothing wrong with it. As long as my position in his heart is still the most important, that's fine. As for the position of the head wife ... Who can compete with the emperor's daughter? It doesn't matter if I give up such a false reputation to her. Mu Bai is different from the ordinary vulgar men who treat concubines like livestock and playthings. He will definitely not let me down... Hey, there is no way to do this. There's a solution!" Wu Meiniang thought in her heart.
But when I think about it, the jealousy and jealousy still linger in my heart. Therefore, it is reasonable to use excuses to get angry and vent his anger on Qin Mubai from time to time.
As the two walked on the street, they really attracted the attention of many passers-by. Needless to say, those who know them, these two are now famous celebrities in Chang'an; those who don't know them also feel envious and jealous of this golden couple who are a perfect match for each other. Along the way, Qin Mubai felt a little awkward in his heart, just like being visited by someone.
Finally arrived at the best wine in the world. The person in charge here is Wu Meiniang's eldest brother Wu Yuanqing. After Yin Yang and others taught him a lesson last time, he finally figured out his role as a "wage earner" and became much more honest.
Wu Meiniang returned to the No. 1 Liquor in the World after leaving Chang'an for half a year, and everyone in the restaurant welcomed her. Qin Mubai also came with him, which was even more eye-catching. This is the first time that the two of them have appeared together in front of everyone.
Mrs. Xue Liu also came out. Qin Mubai recognized her at a glance, walked up to her and said, "Sister-in-law Xue, are you used to coming here?"
Being greeted by the big boss in front of everyone, the newcomer Liu was a little flattered, and nodded hurriedly: "Thank you, big boss, for your concern. Everything is fine here."
Seeing this, everyone knew that this Liu family was personally invited by Qin Mubai and Wu Meiniang. Liu's instantly worth a hundredfold, and his appearance changed in the minds of these people.
"How is Brother Xue?" Qin Mubai asked again, "I made a special trip to see him today."
"He..." Ms. Liu said with a low smile, showing some embarrassment, "He went out early in the morning, saying... he went out to look for work."
Qin Mubai couldn't help but laugh: Well, it seems that Xue Rengui is feeling the pressure. His wife has a job but he is idle, but he cannot let a woman support the family while he is living a soft life. When he comes back later, I will invite him to my house as a guest. After meeting my father, I believe he will definitely change his attitude!
