Qin Mubai and Princess Gao Yang hurried back to the Qin Mansion. Sure enough, there hasn't been a banquet at home yet, and the whole family is eagerly looking forward to it. Qin Mubai hurried in and apologized to his two brothers. He was also scolded by his mother for a while. It was only after his two brothers helped to excuse him that his mother spared him.
The family is a group to outsiders. When it comes to the family, there is a barrier between the biological and the non-biological. The Liu family usually criticizes their own children and never mentions anything wrong with Qin Tong and Qin Bin. At this point, she has always done an excellent job, thus winning a lot of respect from the boss and the second child.
Qin Tong and Qin Bin didn't take this matter to heart. In addition, Princess Gaoyang was also here, so they had to pay more attention to their image, so the family sat together and enjoyed the meal.
Qin Mubai was very full and couldn't eat anything at all, so he drank some wine with his two brothers. Although Princess Gaoyang is young and not very big, she has a stomach like a ball. She just had a big meal in Penglai Hall, and she is still devouring it happily. Qin Mubai was therefore very suspicious, was this guy pregnant? He had such a good appetite
Although the folk customs of the Tang Dynasty were open, Princess Gaoyang was still a princess, and her wedding was still half a year away. It would be a joke to have a big belly by then, so Qin Mubai had always adopted some secret palace methods as contraceptive measures. But there are no absolutes in the world, and he is not sure whether this trick will be effective.
Princess Gaoyang didn't seem to care about this kind of thing. She said more than once that she must give birth to several children for Qin Mubai. She treated having children as easily as going shopping, which was a bit " How bold a person is and how productive he is." Qin Mubai has only one comment on this: newborn calves are not afraid of tigers. This guy is still a little confused.
However, Qin Mubai does hope to have a child. After traveling through thousands of years, it took root and blossomed, which was of great significance to him.
It was rare for the three brothers to get together, and they were very diligent in changing glasses. They drank the home-brewed Qin Xian imperial wine and listened to the music of Yao'er, one of the three fairies. This was a first-class enjoyment everywhere. For the Qin family, it is too rare and ordinary.
After drinking for three rounds, Qin Mubai said to Qin Tong and Qin Bin: "Brothers, although I broke my promise today and made you wait so hard, your wait was not in vain!"
"Oh, what do you say?" they both asked curiously.
Qin Mubai smiled mysteriously and said, "Brother is working in the Royal Forest Army. Have you heard anything about the change of generals in the army?"
"Yes." Qin Tong has a straightforward personality and said without thinking, "Many generals are fighting for the position of Zuowei General. But... we are not on the same side, are we? My father still has some possibility, but he is currently He is based in Lanzhou and cannot be transferred back.”
"Of course it is. But what I want to say is not Zuo Wei." Qin Mubai continued to smile and let it slip.
Qin Bin, who is from Congwen, has always been thoughtful. After thinking for a while, he smiled and said: "Seeing that the third brother is so mysterious and precise in his words, it must be related to Baiqi."
"Hey, the second brother is still smart." Qin Tong nodded in agreement, "Brother Yu, why did you forget that the third brother is a hundred cavalry envoys!"
"Haha, that's right." Qin Mubai smiled, "But now, I haven't fully confirmed the reliability of the news. I can only tell you that Baiqi may want someone, and I recommended you two to the emperor. His Majesty."
"Really?" Qin and Tong asked happily.
"Yes!" Qin Mubai nodded and said hehe, "Today I just want to ask my two brothers, but are you willing to go to Baiqi?"
"That goes without saying, of course I am willing!" Qin Tong immediately answered, "My Qin family is a military family, and it is our bounden duty to serve in the army. Although your second brother Congwen is also an editor at Hongwen Hall, he is You are no stranger to military matters! Baiqi—who wouldn’t want to join that place? Even being a small captain there is better than being a lieutenant in the prison!”
"Brother is right," Qin Bin said, "Baiqi is now the meat and potatoes of the Tang Dynasty's military. Not to mention us, even those generals who have already become famous also want to join Baiqi to get a share of the pie. From then on. The characters who come out there seem to be superior to others, with some kind of divine aura.”
Qin Mubai smiled slightly and said: "Eldest brother has said it. If you are only allowed to go in and become a school captain, where will the faces of father and Yudi be put? Although Yudi is no longer in Baiqi, he is still here after all. I am still the inspector of Baiqi, and I cannot give in to my two brothers. I am only worried that my two brothers have doubts in their hearts and do not want to be under the command of Baiqi."
"You are overly concerned." Qin Tong waved his hand and said decisively, "Third brother, what you have done in the past few years has greatly glorified my Qin family. Your second brother and I are both proud of you! You two brothers are not narrow-minded people who are jealous of talents. You don't have to worry about it. To be honest, your second brother and I have long been interested in discussing with you and want you to find a way to help us. It’s time to change your job. There’s not much room for politeness in a family. If it were you, if you came to see me, your brother would help you without even a second thought, right?”
Qin Mubai nodded happily and smiled: "The eldest brother is still upright and upright, but the younger brother really thinks too much and punishes himself with three cups!"
At this time, Princess Gaoyang swallowed the food in her mouth and said, "Mubai, is this what you talked about with your father today? Are you going to let the eldest brother and the second brother enter the Hundred Cavalry?"
"Yes!" Qin Mubai turned around and said.
"What's the point? It won't be long before the eldest brother and the second brother are also relatives of the state. It is also a good thing that Baiqi can be controlled by a relative of the state. My father will definitely agree." Princess Gaoyang said seriously, "I will follow my father after I return to the palace. The emperor told him to get it right."
"Don't mess around. You're not allowed to mention this matter." Qin Mubai said sternly, "It's better if you don't mention it. If you do, maybe the emperor won't agree."
"Why?" Princess Gao Yang asked in confusion.
Qin Mubai frowned and said, "It's a matter of military affairs. Why do you, a princess who doesn't care about political affairs, get involved in this matter? The emperor has always been disgusted with people in the harem interfering in military and political affairs. Don't get into trouble. I'll let you know about this matter." You know what you're doing, so don't make things worse."
"Okay..." Princess Gaoyang responded bitterly and whispered, "In the final analysis, you still treat me like a child and you can't trust me, just for fear that I will cause trouble... However, there is one thing you must ask me! Hum hum!"
Qin Mubai pretended not to hear and continued to drink with his two brothers, but secretly thought in his heart: What did this ghost girl do again
After the meal was over, Qin Tong and his two brothers were sent away. Qin Mubai took Princess Gaoyang aside and asked her what she had done.
Princess Gao Yang smiled so proudly, "Please, please, I will tell you!"
"I won't take you on a trip." Qin Mubai said lightly.
"Ah?" Princess Gao Yang was stunned at first, then her face changed immediately, and she was so angry that she said, "Okay, I say! ... But you have to let me be on top tonight, hehe!"
"..." Qin Mubai was speechless, and gave her a gentle shudder on the head, "Speak quickly!"
"Ear and eyes are mixed, the room said."
"Just tell me, hehe... I, my princess, are in a very high mood today!"
The two simply washed up and went to bed. Princess Gao Yang wrapped herself around Qin Mubai like a little flower snake. She forgot about what had just happened and was about to make out.
"Wait a minute, let's talk first." Qin Mubai took her off his body. It wasn't that he wanted to spoil the scenery and dampen the mood. He always felt that Princess Gaoyang was mysterious today and she must be up to no good.
"Just say it..." Princess Gaoyang said bitterly, as if she still took a breath, and pressed against Qin Mubai's chest, "After I returned to the palace today, I couldn't help myself, so I went to the harem to inquire..."
Qin Mubai's heart tightened: "Inquire about the King of Han?"
"That's right!" Princess Gao Yang nodded like a chicken pecking at rice, her eyes widened in surprise, and she lowered her voice and said nervously, "Don't tell me, you actually heard about it!"
"What?"
"Just a few days ago, not long before we returned to Chang'an, Li Yuanchang molested several palace maids in the harem!" Princess Gaoyang said in shock and anger, "How audacious! Almost the entire harem knows about this! Li Yuan Chang Tai is so arrogant that he doesn't shy away from it at all. He even did it three times at a time in a palace maid's room in Ye Ting... Oh my God, it's incredible! "
Qin Mubai frowned: "That's all?"
"Isn't this enough?!" Princess Gaoyang exclaimed, "Although she is a palace maid, she is also my father's! Who knows when my father will be promoted to a concubine if he likes her!"
"That's not what I meant." Qin Mubai said, "Didn't you find out that he had an affair with other concubines?"
"Not yet..." Princess Gao Yang shook her head, "I think this is shocking enough! If you tell your father, it will be enough to kill his head!"
"It's not that simple." Qin Mubai frowned and said, "When the late emperor was still alive, Li Yuanchang was raised in the palace. It was not until the late emperor passed away two or three years ago that he was released from the palace to live independently. He insisted on saying that Even if the emperor was displeased, he would not say anything about which of the maids he had an affair with when he was in the palace. I think that with the emperor's shrewdness and well-informed knowledge, he must have known about this matter for a long time, but why did he always ignore it. Ask? There must be something fishy about it."
"What's weird?" Princess Gao Yang wondered.
"I don't know either." Qin Mubai said while pondering, "I always feel that Li Yuanchang's relationship in the harem is extraordinary. Think about it, what kind of place is Ye Ting? Is it accessible to ordinary people? After all, it’s no different from the emperor’s palace. Li Yuanchang could sleep on the dragon bed in Yeting with such arrogance. Who gave him the courage?”
"Who could it be?" Princess Gaoyang said confusedly, "If we say it was during the time when the late emperor was still alive, he might have used the late emperor's name to hang out in the harem. But the late emperor has been dead for several years, so it's hard to say Or should my father give him this convenience?"
Qin Mubai raised his eyebrows and looked at Princess Gao Yang.
Princess Gaoyang suddenly trembled inexplicably: "No way? Do you suspect that my father acquiesced in his doing this?"
"It's okay if it's not. If it is..." Qin Mubai paused and said, "Then I really don't know what's going on between Li Yuanchang and your father."
"No way..." Princess Gao Yang was stunned for a moment and refused to believe it. She shook her head repeatedly, "It's definitely impossible!"
"This matter is over for now, and you should stop asking questions in the harem, so as not to stir up trouble and cause trouble." Qin Mubai said, "It seems that this Li Yuanchang is not as simple as we imagined, nor is he as simple as he seems on the surface. He is a pure playboy. I always feel that there is some big secret behind him, or that he has some handle on His Majesty, which has allowed him to act unscrupulously in the capital for so many years. In fact, your father. The royal family has always been extremely strict. Your third brother, King Wu, was impeached even if he went hunting several times. Why was he so tolerant of Li Yuanchang? Just take what happened last time with Yao'er, where he broke into a house and raped people. Girl, such a thing would have been enough to deprive him of the title of a commoner, or even behead him if it was more severe. But at that time, His Majesty the Emperor almost suppressed the matter, and almost no outsiders knew about it. . And I guess that Li Yuanchang reported this matter to His Majesty very quickly. He dared to file a complaint even though it was something he didn't care about. Don't you think he was very arrogant and fearless, and weren't you afraid of your father? "
"Ah... when you say that, it's true!" Princess Gao Yang's eyes widened in surprise, as if she was a little worried, "Mubai, what could happen that would make my father turn against him? So, Li Yuanchang is really a big bad guy, we can't tolerate Li Yuanchang continuing to do whatever he wants! - Also, if he is really that powerful, wouldn't you be in danger?"
"Don't worry, I'll be fine." Qin Mubai patted Princess Gao Yang's back to express comfort, and said, "I used to only think that he was an ordinary clown, but now, I have to face this opponent. Gao Yang, don't If you want to investigate anything else in the palace, so as not to alarm Li Yuanchang, leave this matter to me."
"Then do you want me to ask my father, why is Li Yuanchang?"
"No, you must not." Qin Mubai said seriously, "If my guess is right, maybe Li Yuanchang has something to do with your father. It's related to his privacy. You'd better not touch it. If you can easily Solve it, is your father the kind of person who is willing to give in and compromise? Therefore, this matter should be quite serious and not a trivial matter."
"After hearing what you said, I felt really unsure and a little scared..."
"Don't be afraid." Qin Mubai hugged her tighter and smiled coldly, "The clown can't make any big waves after all. I will investigate this matter slowly."
