Although the liveliness of Chang'an is unparalleled in the world, in the past, the whole city should have been silent and dark at such late nights. Occasionally, the lanterns of one or two wine shops in the West Market, such as Yingyuan, are dimly sleepy, or groups of soldiers holding torches pass by on patrol.
But when it was time to take a nap today, there was still a lot of noise with the West Market as the center. The whole city seemed to be reversed in black and white. It was more lively in the middle of the night than during the day, which dispelled the severe cold of winter.
Princess Gao Yang climbed onto the tower of Zhuque Gate in the imperial city and watched curiously for a long time, not knowing what was going on. The imperial guardsmen all went out to check the situation, thinking that some "abnormal situation" had occurred in the city, which triggered such a major reaction.
A maid who followed the Royal Forest Army to find out the news came back and breathlessly reported the situation in the Western Market to Princess Gaoyang.
"Okay, this guy!..." Princess Gao Yang was immediately filled with hatred. She clenched a pair of pink fists and cursed secretly with gritted teeth, "You didn't ask me for such a fun thing? You had so much fun while I was away... I me… !"
"Princess, I heard that the prince-in-law personally acted as the accompaniment for that blind succubus, and taught him how to play the piano step by step!" The maid said vividly, "The three fairies of Qinxian Pavilion performed publicly on the West Street. It’s shocking enough; coupled with the consort, wow! The whole West City is going crazy!”
"Stop talking!" Princess Gao Yang yelled angrily, raised her fists and spread her teeth like a little lioness, secretly saying: Wow, Wow! If you don't watch for a while, you'll be playing with women outside! I have so much fun with other women, but I can’t see you leading me so elegantly? Humph, Qin Mubai, this princess holds the most grudge!
"Princess... are you okay?" The maid was a little frightened, "Why did your face turn green?"
"Shut up!" Princess Gao Yang yelled angrily, turned around and left, "Go to the Qin Mansion!"
"… yes."
Angrily, she walked on the tower for a while and turned a corner. Princess Gao Yang saw a dark place without a lantern at the far corner of the tower in front of her. There seemed to be people's figures, and there were faint voices -
"No! I must get this woman!" There was a hint of anger in the voice. Obviously, he didn't have the habit of suppressing his voice. It was more like shouting than talking.
Princess Gao Yang was a little surprised: The voice is very familiar, who is it
She rolled her eyes, stopped the few maids behind her and made a silent gesture, asking them to help watch the wind and ward off the imperial guards who were patrolling the tower. Then he ducked down, hid in a dark corner under the female wall, and approached the pair of figures.
At this time, another voice sounded. He seemed a little weak and weak. He said: "Uncle Qi, these days are different from the past. Even I have to respect him three feet. You should not disturb Tai Sui."
Princess Gaoyang was startled: Brother Prince? … Could it be that the seventh uncle in his mouth is the King of Han? !
"Prince, let's put it this way... What do you think of a satisfactory death?" said the King of Han.
"You!..." The prince's voice suddenly became high-pitched. He was obviously touched by a sad place and was a bit angry. He snorted twice and said, "Why bother mentioning it again!"
"Isn't that what it is?" King Han sneered, "The more you can't get something, the more you can't bear to lose it. It's the thing that makes people miss you the most. In fact, that bitch is not only blind, but she also has a face and figure that is better than mine." Those women I’ve been with are nothing. She doesn’t know how to be charming, and even looks down upon me! But the more she behaves like this, the more I feel itchy! No matter how aloof and aloof they are in front of others, they will surely be captured by me once they get into my bed. **|Baby**. Women are no match for wine, sex and wealth. Faced with the pressure of power and the temptation of wealth and desire, they have to give up their hypocritical appearance and become the king's plaything. Faces and ethical precepts are all thrown out of the window, even worse than eagles and dogs! As for women who are already wives and even mothers, they are already obsessed with things between men and women, and they long for caressing, stimulation and passion. She will never be the only woman among their men. The men are out having sex, while the women are staying at home alone. Such women are really full of dissatisfaction and desires, and they are not like those wealthy daughters and young girls from good families. They are demanding about men's appearance and family background, and their most instinctive desire for desire is buried deep in their hearts. When such women reach adulthood, they will have the urge and power to rape men. Therefore, in the past two years, I They only play with women and mothers, which is very exciting."
Princess Gaoyang was hiding under the female wall, her face was red, her ears were red, her heart was beating wildly, and she secretly scolded Uncle Qi for being so evil and shameless!
"Why are you talking about all this? When it comes to women, you talk endlessly." The prince was obviously a little impatient, "Let's go, after watching the fun, go back to the East Palace and have an early rest."
"What's the rush?" King Han said calmly, "Of course I can't stop talking, because I have more passion and desire than you now. Look at what you are like now. Once you die, you will feel like half of the sky has collapsed. It’s not okay to be discouraged and lazy like a walking zombie.”
"It's not all because of him." There was a hint of fatigue in the prince's voice, "The Fourth Brother has been pressing me harder and harder lately, and there's a lot of noise in the court, and everyone is clamoring to re-establish the crown prince. Sigh... I really don't know, What a day."
"Why are you thinking so much? As long as you don't make a big mistake, you will be the eldest son and crown prince. The ancestral family law and the rules of the dynasties are there. There are also the queen's last words and Fang Xuanling's death guarantee. Who can touch you?" King Han was obviously a little uncomfortable. Impatient, he immediately changed the subject and continued talking about women, he said, "In fact, no matter how different women are, they will never deviate from their origins. After all, they are men's vassals and have to rely on men. There are so many women in the harem, and more than 90% of them will never be there in a lifetime. If they don't get His Majesty's love and live alone in the palace, they are no longer women? "
"Shut up!" The prince suddenly scolded, "You don't want your life, and you are saying such nonsense?"
"What did I say? Hehe..." King Han smiled a little obscenely and a little proudly.
Princess Gaoyang, who was ice-snow and smart, felt excited in her heart, and was quite surprised: No way, the King of Han also played with... the concubines in the harem? this… !
"Well, if you don't say it, don't say it. Let's talk about that bitch!" King Han changed his tone and continued, "Actually, at the beginning, I just wanted to have a taste. I have played with all kinds of women and I am tired of them. Well, I have never played blind. But who would have expected that the blind woman, relying on the care of the Qin family, would act like a chaste and virtuous woman and ignore the king's favor? Oh! This is really the most ridiculous thing in the world! It's good this time, I got a good beating because of her! To be honest, Prince, if you hadn't stopped me, I would have killed Qin alive. Kill every one of his family, except the women, of course."
Princess Gao Yang gritted her teeth, her bones chattering, "Every family is young, except for women...including me? Damn bastard!!!"
"Stop talking, the more you talk, the more outrageous you are!" The prince pulled the King of Han to leave, "Go back to the East Palace!"
"In short, I listen to you. I won't quarrel with Qin or ruin your big things. But sooner or later, I will play with that bitch to death! If you don't help me, that's fine; but don't betray me!" King Han Said stubbornly.
"Hey... I don't care about you, okay?" The prince was obviously helpless and said, "I only advise you, don't look at that Qin who is usually gentle and shy, but when he is ruthless, he is not ordinary ruthless. He You still remember how Qian Chengji died, right? You know how the Xue brothers, who were so violent and unruly generals, were brought into submission, right? Dangdang, even my uncle, Fang Xuanling and others had to be convinced... Uncle Qi, he is so red now that even the fourth child took the initiative to apologize when he saw him. I advise you to stay away from this kid. , it’s not something you can mess with.”
"..." The shadow of King Han was stunned for a long time, and finally spit out a mouthful of thick phlegm and gritted his teeth and said, "This is more exciting, isn't it? Who is he, and why does the blind woman who is so dismissive of me regard him as a god? Why can he take away the most beautiful woman in Chang'an, Wu Meiniang? Why is the emperor's favorite daughter, the fearless princess, so devoted to him? - I don't believe this!"
"Then take care of yourself!" The prince said coldly and left first.
The King of Han stood by the building for a long time. He punched the bricks on the wall with his fists angrily and then left angrily.
Princess Gaoyang squatted in the dark shadow under the female wall for a long time, and her body became numb from squatting. The prince and the King of Han walked for a long time, and she was shivered by a gust of night wind before she came back to her senses.
"Go to Qin Mansion immediately!!!"
The nearly boiling heat in the West Market slowly dissipated, and people went home with unfinished thoughts. Presumably, those who have witnessed today's event will be proud of it, while those who missed it will feel regretful.
Qin Mubai and Yao'er have returned home, sitting around the big stove with their mother and sisters, eating snacks made by Shuang'er, drinking steaming tea and having short conversations at home.
Yao'er's face was always red, as if she was still immersed in the passion just now and had not recovered. Qin Mubai's warmth seemed to still remain on her hands, causing her to tremble slightly uncontrollably.
The dog's tail grass that once looked up at the sky, its biggest wish, or extravagant hope, was to swim hand in hand with the white clouds in the sky. But when it became reality, she felt like she was falling into the clouds, it was so unreal.
"Hey, Yao'er, are you okay?" Shuang'er came up and asked with concern.
"No, it's okay!" Yao'er hurriedly replied.
"Why are you trembling? Your face is so red? Could it be..." Shuang'er glanced at Qin Mubai and hesitated to speak.
Qin Mubai pretended to turn a blind eye, but what Shuang'er meant was nothing more than referring to some girls' affairs.
Yao'er also went down the slope: "Well, I feel a little uncomfortable..."
Mother Liu hurriedly said: "Go back and rest early!"
As a woman, there are always days when you feel unwell both physically and mentally.
"Yes, Mother. Yao'er took his leave first. Mother wishes you well, and third brother wishes you well..." Yao'er gave two big gifts in succession, and Shuang'er accompanied her and left first.
Mrs. Liu looked at the backs of the two girls and nodded with a smile. The corners of her eyes were covered with crow's feet, "What a good girl! Yao'er knows the etiquette and is modest and prudent. Such a woman is the most suitable to marry a husband and raise children. But it's a pity. She is such a good lady, but her parents died suddenly and she is blind. Oh... what a trick of the gods!"
Qin Mubai didn't say anything and drank a cup of tea quietly.
Qin Mubai knew Yao'er's friendship for him very well. From the first time they met until now, she has always been grateful and worshipful, placing herself in the most humble position. She guarded her thoughts carefully and silently, not even daring to reveal a corner of it to others. I am afraid that if I miss any one thing, I will lose everything that I can still touch.
He always maintains his humbleness and a certain kind of awe, but he has fiery expectations and yearnings in his heart. Any interaction between the two is an unexpected surprise and shock to her.
This may be her greatest happiness.
Qin Mubai was very clear about his position in Yao'er's mind. He is the brother who protects her, the teacher who serves as a role model, the benefactor who saves her from fire and water, and a high-altitude god who cannot be desecrated. A man like himself, who was physically mortal and even a bit vulgar, was infinitely beautified in her mind, almost becoming a perfect existence.
Sometimes Qin Mubai thinks that Yao'er's invisible eyes may be the source of her happiness and persistence. Because beyond the reach of the eye, there will be eternal distance. It is said that distance produces beauty, but actually distance covers up ugliness.
Qin Mubai knew very well that maybe as long as he whispered in her ear, Yao'er would unswervingly be his woman, never leaving her for the rest of her life and never regretting it, even going so far as to make grass rings for dogs and horses.
That's the kind of woman she is.
Her wish is simple and persistent, as pure as ice without a trace of dust, and even makes people unable to bear to blaspheme.
But Qin Mubai knew what kind of person he was. He had the same vulgarity as other men. He is greedy for power and wealth, is used to wearing bright clothes and angry horses, likes beauties and the mellow aroma of fine wine. He will retaliate for his anger and seek blood for his murderers... He is far from the saint and perfect existence in Yao'er's mind.
When the time comes, how will she feel when faced with the huge gap between ideal and reality
In a word, Qin Mubai felt that he was very stressed in the face of Yao'er's ideals and admiration. The source of the pressure was that he couldn't bear to let her down. Therefore, he did not dare to touch the persistence and passion deep in her heart, for fear of staining the most pure, beautiful and holy place in the world, and he could not bear to break her dreams and fantasies.
Being able to live in fantasy all your life is not a blessing. Because reality is often too cruel.
When he drank the last bit of tea in the cup, Qin Mubai was about to get up and send his mother back to her room to rest. At this time, someone suddenly knocked on the door of my house, which was very anxious and abrupt in the quiet night.
"Open the door quickly! It's me! It's me!" someone shouted while knocking on the door.
"Gao Yang? Why did you run out of the palace so late?"
Mother held up her hand: "You go and deal with it. Just go and rest for your mother."
"Okay." Qin Mubai said goodbye to his mother and walked to the gate. At this time, Menzi had already put on his clothes and got up, opened the door, and the figure of Princess Gaoyang rushed in.
"Mu Bai, hurry! Hurry! - I have something important to tell you!"
