Love Affairs in Chang’an

Chapter 62: The little devil intercepted

Views:

Seeing the two children cheering innocently, Li Shimin laughed.

Qin Mubai clearly saw the crow's feet at the corners of Li Shimin's eyes, and the kindness and sadness written on his face. Qin Mubai has never seen Li Shimin smile like this after accompanying him for so many years. At this moment, he seemed to be no longer the omnipotent king who ruled the world, nor was he Li Er who killed his brothers and forced his father.

Unexpectedly, a man who has been immersed in political intrigues and sword-fighting for many years would also have such a tender side. At this moment, Li Shimin is just a loving father. He has so many children, and he may not be able to be so serious and tender towards each one of them. But from his treatment of Li Zhi and Li Mingda, we can see that Li Shimin is not a cold-blooded animal who eats tigers, poisons and eats seeds, nor does he want to be a good father at all... What is the reason why most of his children are like this? Clumsy and ill-fated? With Li Shimin's ability, he can rule a country and bring peace to the whole world. Isn't he still unable to take care of his children

Looking at the kind father in front of him, Qin Mubai was puzzled.

The two grown men entertained Li Zhi and Li Mingda for a while, and then the nurse came and took the two young highnesses away.

Li Shimin watched his two children walk away, and until they disappeared from sight, he was still waving his hands slowly, and the smile on his face never faded.

"Your Majesty, your two highnesses, King Jin and Princess Jinyang, one is benevolent and filial, the other is smart. They are both very good." Qin Mubai took the initiative to bring up the topic, breaking the silence on the scene, and also made Li Shimin, who was distracted for a moment, less embarrassed. .

"Haha, it's true." Li Shimin was in a good mood. He sat down with a smile, picked up a cup of tea, took a sip, and said, "Mu Bai, it seems that Pheasant Nu and Si Zi have a good impression of you. So do I. I can rest assured that you will take care of them.”

The easiest and quickest way to win a mother's favor is to praise her children. This trick seemed to be quite effective when used on Li Shimin.

Qin Mubai smiled and cupped his hands: "To be honest, Wei Chen is not completely sure that he can satisfy King Jin and Princess. Wei Chen can only do his best and give it a try. The only thing Wei Chen can guarantee now is their absolute safety. ”

"Well, I'm completely relieved about this. With your and Baiqi's abilities, I'm afraid no one in this deep palace can hurt these two children." Li Shimin looked at Qin Mubai, nodded and smiled with satisfaction, "Just now You told a questionable lie... But I am also very curious, what are you going to do if Pheasant Nu and Si Zi fight for your mother in the future? "

"Weichen will tell them stories." Qin Mubai smiled and said, "Weichen will tell them that Queen Changsun went to heaven, a very beautiful and warm place. She was very good there, and she spent a lot of time giving herself. Children pray. If they love and miss their mother, they will stop crying and live happily every day. In short, this story will last forever."

"Haha, it's a good story. Just let them distract themselves. They are still young and may not feel the pain of losing their mother so deeply. But as they grow older, the feeling of lack of maternal love will become stronger and stronger. "Li Shimin said, "Therefore, I hope you can resolve their knots as soon as possible so that their character and even life will not be affected by the loss of their mother at a young age."

"Your Majesty is far-sighted and well-intentioned, and I admire you for it. Don't worry, Your Majesty, I will work hard to achieve this." Qin Mubai accepted the promise and said to himself: It seems that my father's task is quite arduous. Not only do I have to protect these two little princes, but I also have to serve as a psychiatrist and even an enlightenment teacher for them... What will the future emperor Li Zhi be like in the future if someone like me, Qin, has influenced his character and outlook on life since he was a child? Woolen cloth? What kind of deflection will happen to history

This is getting more and more interesting.

Li Shimin was in a good mood today, with a smile on his face. The tone of speaking to Qin Mubai at this time was no longer the usual conversation between a monarch and his ministers, but more like a communication between close friends or even relatives. He said: "Mubai, you are versatile, young and promising. I also hope that you can teach them more, especially Pheasant Nu. He is my youngest legitimate son, and I don't want him to become a dandy in the future and wait to die. My lord. You can use your talents and martial arts to teach him. If you don’t know how to teach him anything, tell me, I will choose a teacher for you.”

"Yes, Your Majesty." Qin Mubai smiled heartily and said, "Yes, this is not only a nanny, but also Li Zhi's companion and teacher." My identity is really complicated.

Li Shimin frowned slightly and was silent for a moment. He seemed to be brewing something in his mind, and then said: "The harem is a very complicated place. If the queen is still here, I can entrust her with everything. But now the harem has no owner. None of the four concubines De Xian Shu have the ability to completely rule the harem on my behalf, so I am not at ease with Pheasant Nu and the others... Mu Bai, do you understand what I mean?"

"Wei Chen understands." Qin Mubai felt a little shocked in his heart and thought to himself: According to what Li Shimin meant, doesn't it mean that after the death of the queen, there were some undercurrents in the harem? Is it possible that the four concubines, whose status is second only to the queen, are competing openly and secretly to climb to the throne of the queen? The restlessness in the harem is likely to affect Li Zhi and Li Mingda. Apart from being sacrificed in the turbulent harem battle, what else can these two immature children do

"Well... let them stay away from unnecessary things." Li Shimin frowned slightly, as if he was about to speak, but finally smiled helplessly, "You don't have to worry about these things. Do it with peace of mind. Just do your part.”

"Wei Chen understands." Qin Mubai agreed with his hands. Who dares to take care of the emperor's housework? Qin Mubai is not that stupid, nor is he that interested. Nuo had a large harem, and the only thing he was interested in was admiring all kinds of graceful beauties, and he restrained his urge to hunt for beauty in a very measured way. There is no fragrant grass anywhere in the world, why should we cuckold the emperor? That's really too long a life.

"There's one more little thing." Li Shimin cleverly changed the topic and said, "Gao Yang has been chatting with me endlessly just now. I didn't ask what you meant, and I didn't agree to him right away."

Qin Mubai couldn't help but be a little stunned, and said hurriedly: "As soon as Your Majesty opens his mouth, what other things in the world can't be accomplished?"

"No, I have to ask for your opinion on this matter." Li Shimin chuckled and said easily, "They are the four palace ladies you detained! They encouraged Gao Yang to rush against the Holy Emperor, which was indeed a crime. Military law. Originally, we should deal with it as it should be. I remember that those who clashed with the Holy Cavalry and refused to retreat could be killed first, right? I am really worried... Therefore, in the name of a father, I am asking you for mercy. Can you give them a lighter sentence for their first offense?"

"Your Majesty has said so, and I can only agree." Qin Mubai said, "Your Majesty takes responsibility for himself and protects and abides by the law. I admire him."

"Well, we can't let it go just like that." Li Shimin put the lid of the cup on the cup and knocked it a little hard, and said, "I have heard for a long time that these four maids relied on Gao Yang to gain favor. They are so domineering in the harem. You take the opportunity to teach them a lesson and learn the rules. As for Gao Yang, you don't have to worry about it. I have my own way."

"Yes, Your Majesty." Qin Mubai smiled bitterly in his heart: You said it lightly! When you asked me to fix those four maids, you were actually teaching Gao Yang a lesson in disguise... It's your business to teach your daughter a lesson, but why did you involve me? Didn't this make it clear that I had offended Gao Yang? If you come forward to suppress Gao Yang, she may not seek revenge from me now. But once this relationship is broken, will she still be done with me in the future? I'm not afraid of thieves, I'm afraid of being missed by thieves. Who knows what that evil little loli will do to me in the future... Damn it, it's easy to get into trouble when you work for the emperor!

After talking for a while, Li Shimin asked Qin Mubai not to worry about Bai Qi's affairs these days, but to spend more time at Penglai Palace to take care of the two young princes. Soon after, Qin Mubai resigned and drove back to the military camp.

After leaving Penglai Hall, Qin Mubai walked all the way to Tai Chi Palace. When he arrived at the imperial bridge in front of Danfeng Gate, he suddenly heard a low voice: "Stop!"

"Princess Gaoyang?" Qin Mubai frowned when he saw the person clearly. Princess Gaoyang and more than a dozen palace maids blocked the only way to pass by the bridge like street bullies. The little girl is still dressed up and down, and her figure and face are the best among idols. But at this moment, the weird smile on her face and the evil look in her eyes can instantly make people think of one word - little devil!

"Come here!" Princess Gao Yang proudly raised her red lips and hooked Qin Mubai with the index finger of her right hand.

"Do you still want to beat me up?... The princess led people to beat up the courtiers. This is not necessarily too sensational, right?" Qin Mubai didn't feel any nervousness or fear, but he just thought it was ridiculous enough, which made him dumbfounded.

Taking a few steps forward, Qin Mubai stopped and cupped his hands: "What's the matter, princess?"

The dozen or so palace maids and eunuchs rushed out like horses and surrounded Qin Mubai. Princess Gao Yang clapped her hands and said with a proud smile: "It's very simple, I order you to let go!"

"I'm sorry, princess, I can't obey this humble duty." Qin Mubai answered simply, completely ignoring the people around him, and said with a smile, "Military orders are overwhelming, and prisoners captured without trial and conviction are... Can’t let it go.”

"I knew you would say that." Princess Gao Yang was not angry this time, but giggled a few times.

Qin Mubai was so happy that he couldn't help but shake his head: "Little girl, this smile is so charming!"

"Beat him!" Princess Gao Yang suddenly snorted, "No one has ever dared to do this to me! Teach him a lesson!"
