Following Li Shimin, Qin Mubai and others entered the emperor's harem where "the flowers gradually became charming". This is the place where the most beautiful women in the Tang Dynasty are concentrated. Even if she is a small palace maid, she must be of national beauty and heavenly beauty. Maybe one day Li Shimin takes a fancy to her and he will be favored for once. If you accidentally become pregnant with a dragon seed, your chicken or dog may ascend to heaven.
Qin Mubai increasingly believed that what he said was the truth: In this world, the more outstanding males possess more females.
"With the seventy-two concubines in the three palaces and six courtyards, plus these maids and maids, the three thousand beauties in the harem may really be a real number. Li Shimin, isn't he afraid of grinding an iron pestle into a needle?" Qin Mubai had some mischievous thoughts in his heart. road.
Tonight, the emperor came to the Hall of Supreme Harmony and favored Concubine Yang Shu.
Concubine Yang Shu was the daughter of the former emperor Yang Guang and the mother of Li Ke. This woman, who was respected by blood, had been in Li Shimin's arms for more than 20 years when he attacked Luoyang. After all, she was a woman in her thirties or forties, but she was still very favored.
It is said that when the eldest Empress Sun was alive, she was of course the most favored woman who was unique and irreplaceable. She was also the emperor's most important wife. Li Shimin even treated her as an uncrowned prime minister; and the following one , this is Concubine Yang Shu.
Concubine Yang Shu was born into a royal family. She received a good education since she was a child. She was knowledgeable, courteous, gentle and elegant. Of course, the most important thing was her beautiful appearance.
The Daming Palace was guarded by prison guards, and the security was quite tight. There are sentries at every palace gate, and the entire palace is brightly lit all night. The Hall of Supreme Harmony where Li Shimin was located was guarded by Baiqi. Anyone who dares to approach this place without listening to the call may be instantly killed by Baiqi without any reason.
At dawn, Changsun Huan and Yuchi Baoyun brought people to change the guard. Qin Mubai and Cheng Huaibi returned to the camp with the soldiers who had been working the night shift, and slept soundly.
Baiqi's first day of official work was finally over without any mistakes. From Qin Mubai down, all the generals and subordinates sighed secretly. In time, as long as everyone gets used to this kind of work, everything will be on the right track.
Qin Mubai has not left the army for three months. In a few days, the army will begin to organize vacations on a rotational basis. Qin Mubai thought that it was time to go home and rest. In the past three months, every one of my soldiers has lost a layer of skin. As the highest officer, he himself always has to set an example and needs to be taught many skills. Every skill must be superior to all the soldiers, and that is the one that requires the hardest training. In addition, there are a number of military and political affairs to be dealt with.
It’s so exhausting!
A few days later, Qin Mubai got four days of vacation. When he left the military camp with several soldiers who were on vacation with him, everyone let out a sigh of relief.
Everyone is like a tightened string that has finally been relaxed.
After leaving the palace, everyone went their separate ways. Qin Mubai's apprentice Pang Fei insisted on going to the Qin family to visit his "master" Qin Shubao, so Qin Mubai let him go and took him with him. These days, Pang Fei, who is smart and willing to endure hardships, has indeed not disappointed Qin Mubai. This kid always thinks that since he is Qin Mubai's apprentice, he must be better than others. So I practiced most seriously and hard. Coupled with the special training that Qin Mubai gave Kai Xiaozao in private, he has now become an outstanding figure in the Hundred Cavalry Army.
In the elimination assessment a few days ago, his results were among the best. Therefore, when there was a team leader who was eliminated, he took his place, and he became a small officer, and he was considered a figure among the Hundred Cavalry.
The two of them walked to the West Market and led their horses to enjoy the lively market. Although there is no lack of passion and enthusiasm in the military camp, it is a bit monotonous and boring after all. After leaving the palace and seeing this colorful world, Qin Mubai felt like a child from the countryside entering a big city, a bit dazzled.
"Teacher, look, is that the 'best wine in the world'?" Pang Fei pointed to a large wine shop and said with great envy and envy, "It's so famous! I once heard Li Junxian and Li Changshi say it. If you have never been to the No. 1 Wine in the World in Chang'an City now, you would be embarrassed to say that you are a celebrity. It is said that this is where the royal family, princes, dignitaries, talented people, and wealthy businessmen gather. Even a cup of ordinary tea is dozens of times the price outside; even a maid washing dishes must be a breathtaking beauty; even the fodder for horses is extremely exquisite and sophisticated, far more expensive than Food on the dinner table is generally more expensive.”
"Haha, you kid is full of tricks, so just pay attention to these things. That guy Li Junxian won't teach you any good things." Qin Mubai raised his hand and pointed at the store casually, "What do you think? I want to go in and have fun. ?"
"Ah? Master, are you kidding me?" Pang Fei gasped, "This is the most expensive wine shop in the world! The salary of our Hundred Cavalry soldiers is also high, but according to Li Junxian, my team is... Half a year's salary is only enough to have a drink and listen to two songs here, so it's better not to spend too much time, it's too expensive... Hehe!"
"Haha, is it your turn to pay?" Qin Mubai raised his hand, "Let's go in with me!"
Pang Fei swallowed hard and felt worried: "Teacher is so interested... Disciple is just treating me!"
"Stop talking nonsense and come on."
As soon as the two walked to the front of the store, a waiter came to greet them. When he saw Qin Mubai at first glance, he immediately widened his eyes and bent down to bow and bowed: "It turns out to be Mr. Qin! I have been waiting for and waiting for you every day, and finally I have been waiting for you! Please come quickly , come on, please, today is a great day for drinking, and my boss must be very happy!"
"You have a good memory and good eyesight, but you talk too much." Qin Mubai threw the riding crop to the waiter with a smile, gave him a few coins, and said, "Old rules, serve the best fodder. Pang Fei, Walk."
Pang Fei trotted up excitedly: "Teacher, it turns out you are a regular customer here! No wonder, hehe!"
"Are you a regular customer? I've only been here once." Qin Mubai smiled without saying a word and walked into the wine shop.
It was so lively in the wine shop. There were many people in the lobby sitting and drinking around a geisha playing the pipa. Many people were blushing from drinking, and all of them had intoxicated expressions on their faces, completely immersed in the pipa music.
Qin Mubai couldn't help but shake his head and smile: Isn't this the song "Overlord Disarms"? Wu Meiniang, Wu Meiniang, you really know how to make money!
As soon as the two of them stood still, several beautiful beauties in Hu costumes came up to them: "Ah! It turns out to be Mr. Qin!"
"Hurry! Mr. Qin is here. Go and ask your boss!"
"Quickly, come to the elegant banquet and wait for me! Mr. Qin, this brother, please come quickly!"
"Go quickly and invite the three fairies!"
…
A group of beautiful beauties dressed in men's clothing immediately got busy. Or running up and down to arrange a banquet, or to invite people, or to serve you kindly from front to back. The situation was as if they were the maids at home, and Qin Mubai was the returning master.
Pang Fei, a junior brother who was seventeen or eighteen years old, suddenly saw so many beautiful women. He was a little stunned and blushed. Seeing such a scene, I was immediately so surprised that I couldn't believe my eyes.
"Well, mentor, are you familiar with the boss here?"
"Well, it's okay."
"This... I don't have much money with me. How about selling the horse?"
"That's not a problem, is it?"
"Teacher, don't you know? The 'Three Fairies' are the top three winemakers in the world! Needless to say, the three beautiful geishas are beautiful and glamorous. Their pipa skills are famous in the city of Chang'an! It is said that, Zeng Shuling, the leader of Taiyue at that time, only dared to match their peers and did not dare to be ahead of them. I also heard that the emperor wanted to invite these three women to perform music in the palace. I remember Li Junxian very clearly. We were told that many court officials and princes came to invite the "Three Fairies" to play music at their residences. Sometimes they couldn't arrange the music, so many people had to go to the No. 1 Winery in the World to listen to the music in person, only to discover that there was someone there. More court officials and princes are competing for three fairies to perform in the shop. Therefore, even if a person with great reputation spends a lot of money, they can only hire one fairy to perform at most! What... call three of my mentors? "
"Haha! What three fairies, just three silly girls!" Qin Mubai laughed and strode upstairs. The two accompanying beauties covered their mouths and giggled, and said to Pang Fei, "Brother, you know a lot! You are right, even if a certain prince comes, he may not be able to do it right away. The three fairies were performing on the same stage, because it was possible that another prince or prime minister was listening to their music, but Mr. Qin was not an ordinary person. As long as he came, the three fairies would definitely come. Goodbye."
"B-Bye?" Pang Fei's eyes had straightened, he stopped and forgot to go up the stairs for a moment.
"Come up here, silly boy, I won't ask you to sell yourself. Haha!" Qin Mubai laughed endlessly.
The two beauties led Qin Mubai into the most luxurious, comfortable and secluded Accord, and said to him: "Mr. Qin, this is the Accord specially reserved by the owner. It has always received the most distinguished guests."
"The most noble? What noble figures have been here?" Qin Mubai smiled and asked casually.
"For example, the prince's young master Yu Zhining, the imperial doctor Kong Yingda, the captain of Fu Madu, Sun Chong, Fang Xuanling's son Fang Yiai, the king of Wu Li Ke... and the king of Wei Li Tai."
Pang Fei was stunned for a moment when he heard this long list of names. When Qin Mubai heard the last name, he couldn't help but frown: "King Wei has been here too?"
"Yes." Mei Ji replied, "And he is a regular customer. He has been here more than once or twice. He is the most caring about our store."
'Still taking good care of you? Qin Mubai chewed these words secretly in his heart, and thought to himself: This Li Tai has many tricks. He was under the emperor's nose in the palace and could not get too close to any courtiers. Apart from that meeting, he never met me again. Unexpectedly, in a roundabout way, he got the favor to Wu Meiniang...
