In the evening, Qin Mubai came to the Royal Bridge as promised.
As expected, Princess Gao Yang was waiting here. When she saw Qin Mubai, a smile appeared on her still childish face.
In the past, Qin Mubai had only seen Princess Gaoyang's weird smile, tricky smile, malicious smile, and weird smile, but he had never seen her smile so innocently and with a hint of shyness like today.
For a moment, Qin Mubai was really not used to it.
"Ahem... Your Highness, the humble duty has come."
"Please take a seat!" Princess Gaoyang smiled and pointed to a stone table and chairs near the river in the willow forest and said, "I have already prepared it!"
"That's fine." Qin Mubai walked over and found that the stone table had just been moved and there were only two seats. Exquisite imperial snacks and mellow palace wine were already placed on the table. Two maids each held an antique pipa and stood by the side. The other maids and eunuchs were actually waiting at a distance.
Qin Mubai smiled, took the pipa from a maid and sat down calmly: "Let's begin!"
"Why are you in a hurry? You must not have had dinner at this time, right? Eat something first. I don't want others to say that I abused the teacher." Princess Gao Yang sat down opposite Qin Mubai, holding her chin in her hands and looking straight at him. Looking at Qin Mubai, he said with a wide smile.
"Okay." Qin Mubai ate two snacks casually and said, "Can we start now?"
"That's not good!" Princess Gao Yang held her chin in one hand and frowned with displeasure. She stretched out a small hand as smooth as white jade and picked up a piece of deer breast and handed it to Qin Mubai, "You're a big man." How can a man, such a majestic general, only eat so much? Come and eat a piece of deer breast to replenish your health."
Qin Mubai frowned: "Princess, you'd better put it down, I'll do it myself."
"No, I insist on you eating it!" Princess Gao Yang stubbornly raised her chopsticks and faced Qin Mubai with an expression that she would not give up until she achieved her goal.
"Okay, okay, I'll eat it." Qin Mubai gave a helpless smile, stretched out his mouth, took the piece of deer breast into his mouth, and swallowed it wholeheartedly.
"I'm full, so full—let's start playing the pipa!"
"Hehe!" The two maids next to him covered their mouths and laughed out loud.
"Why are you laughing? Don't laugh. You really deserve a beating!" Princess Gao Yang's face instantly turned red and she glared anxiously, "Turn around and don't stare at us!"
"Yes, Your Highness." The two maids turned around obediently.
Qin Mubai ignored these things and held the pipa in his arms and began to teach the skills. He said: "Your Highness, please watch carefully. In fact, there is nothing special about playing the pipa in a humble position. It's just that the way of playing is different from ordinary ones. It's using You play it directly with your hands—so I just need to teach you how to finger it.”
"Hehe, I didn't expect that you, a general, are different from those in the military academy. Your fingers are so delicate and dexterous. In addition to being able to use knives and swords, you can also play the pipa wonderfully. If you hadn't heard it with your own ears. "But, I really don't believe those rumors!" Princess Gao Yang didn't even look at Qin Mubai's fingers on the pipa string, but stared straight at Qin Mubai's face.
Qin Mubai grinned awkwardly: "Your Highness, do you want me to teach you how to finger the pipa?"
"Yes, of course I want it!" Princess Gaoyang smiled and picked up the pipa herself. She held it awkwardly in her arms and then pressed her fingers on the strings randomly, playing a few weird notes and asked He said, "Is that so?"
"Huh..." Qin Mubai let out a long sigh and said patiently, "The fingering is all wrong - are you playing the pipa or practicing the Nine Yin White Bone Claw?"
"What are the Nine Yin White Bone Claws?" Princess Gao Yang blinked her smart eyes and asked curiously.
"... Pretend I didn't say it." Qin Mubai corrected his expression, "The correct fingering method should be like this... "
So the demonstration started over and over again.
"What, why is it so difficult!" Princess Gao Yang followed and learned several times, but still felt awkward and snorted unhappily, "Come here, hold my hand and teach me."
"Hehe..." The two maids who turned around laughed again.
"Damn maid, take ten steps away! Cover your ears!" Princess Gao Yang's face turned redder and she shouted angrily.
"Yes, Your Highness." The two maids did as they were told. In the willow forest at night, their figures are now almost invisible.
"Teacher, come here quickly and teach me the fingering technique! I'm very stupid. If you don't teach me step by step, how can I possibly learn it!" There was no one around, and Princess Gaoyang began to snort.
She seems to be a completely different person now. The fierce little devil before suddenly looked like a lovable Xiaojiabiyu. But when Qin Mubai saw her eyes with an ambiguous smile and full of charm, he still knew in his heart that this was still the quirky little witch. It's just that she doesn't regard me as an enemy now, but maybe as... a man of some other nature.
Forget it, don’t think too much. I only teach pipa and don’t talk about anything else.
So Qin Mubai walked over, bent down behind her, stretched out his hands to hold her little hands, and taught her fingering techniques.
At this time, Qin Mubai clearly felt that the little demon girl's body trembled slightly, and her fingers became a little stiff.
"Relax, you tighten your fingers like this, how can I teach you how to finger?"
"Oh, oh!" Princess Gao Yang's face turned redder.
With great difficulty, Qin Mubai finally pressed her fingers down into the correct fingering pattern.
"That's it, do you understand?"
"I seem to understand a little bit!" Princess Gaoyang said with a smile, "But you have to change your fingers for pushing, pulling, twisting, etc. It's so complicated! Please teach me one by one!"
"Okay." Qin Mubai did not stop, simply held her hand and slowly taught her to play the song "High Mountains and Flowing Waters".
The melody was intermittent, and Princess Gaoyang was obviously absent-minded, her fingers wilted, and she did not follow Qin Mubai at all. After teaching for a long time, Qin Mubai stood up and breathed a sigh of relief: "That's it for today. Princess, if you have free time after you go back, please familiarize yourself with the practice. I will definitely not be able to learn it at this time, and I will not learn it at once. Teach you so much.”
"Are you leaving?" Princess Gao Yang stood up hurriedly and turned around, looking at him with a bit of disappointment, "Why are you in such a hurry?... Look, there is still a lot of food and wine left to eat, what a waste! Father The emperor often teaches us to be diligent and frugal. I also know that you must not have enough to eat, and the food in the army is not good - you should eat more before leaving!"
"No, please take leave of this humble position." Qin Mubai cupped his hands, turned around and left.
"No, don't leave!" Princess Gao Yang suddenly jumped up and stretched out her arms to stop Qin Mubai.
"Your Highness Princess, if you do this, I will never come again." Qin Mubai said with a calm expression.
Princess Gao Yang was startled for a moment, then slowly lowered her arm and nodded: "Okay, I'll let you go... but can you take this plate of deer breast back and eat it?"
"...Okay!" In desperation, Qin Mubai had no choice but to agree, reached out and picked up the plate of deer breasts and said with a smile, "Thank you, Your Highness, for the reward, and I will take my leave."
"Let's go, I won't send you off." Princess Gao Yang said in a low voice.
Qin Mubai strode away.
Princess Gao Yang sat on the stone bench and watched Qin Mubai walk out of the willow forest and disappear from her sight. She cursed in frustration: "Thief of the military academy, stinky man... Am I really that annoying?"
The two palace ladies came over mischievously, glanced at him from afar, and said, "Your Highness, why did you let him leave like this?"
"What can I do if I don't let him go? That guy treats me like a scourge... Hey, it's none of your business!" Princess Gao Yang lost her words for a moment and shouted angrily with her face red and her heart beating.
"Oh, my maid is too troublesome. Please forgive me, princess... Hee hee!"
"You're still laughing and asking for a beating!"
…
Back at the Yamen, Qin Mubai sat in his room, holding a piece of deer breast in a daze.
It's not like Qin Mubai has never experienced this kind of thing today - a little girl has secretly flirted with her for the first time since she was in love, and she even pursued her in secret. There was a time when he enjoyed this kind of feeling. But now, his mood couldn't be better.
"It's weird. When did I show off my sex in front of her to seduce her? Remember, we only had conflicts and fights, and we almost lost our lives, right?" Qin Mubai blinked his eyes numbly, "Is this so? The little girl is a bit psychopathic. She doesn't like it when people are more submissive and compliment her. I always go against her, even bully her and hit her, but her heart is ready to move? "
What a crime! —It’s not good to offend anyone, but Princess Gaoyang! This guy has a paranoid temperament and is willing to do anything. If this trend continues, even if I "keep myself as safe as a jade", if a woman chases a man with a veil between them, who knows when she will get angry!
No, we must nip it in the bud—tomorrow, I will go to the emperor to ask for leave, go back to rest, and cool her down for a while first!
That night, Qin Mubai had just gone to bed when he suddenly heard someone saying outside the door: "Is General Qin asleep?"
Normally, no one would bother Qin Mubai at this time. When he heard the voice, it was Pang Fei. This guy just took a few days off and probably just returned to the military camp.
"Pang Fei, why do you have to wake me up at this time?"
"General... I have something important to report at the end."
"Then come in." Qin Mubai was still lying down. When he saw Pang Fei coming in, he asked, "What's the big deal?"
Pang Ji closed the door alertly, knelt down in front of Qin Mubai's bed, and whispered in his ear: "Teacher, something happened over there with the No. 1 Liquor in the World."
"What's going on?" Qin Mubai asked with a shiver in his heart.
"Teacher, do you still remember the 'Three Fairies'?" Pang Fei said, "This time my apprentice was on vacation, and on the order of his mentor, he went to the No. 1 Wine in the World to visit his future wife. However, he heard that the King of Han had forcibly invited the three fairies to perform at his house. , I’ve been there for six or seven days and still haven’t seen anyone come back.”
Qin Mubai suddenly sat up: "Forcibly inviting you to go, is there such a thing?"
"Not only that... Next, I hope my mentor won't be too angry after hearing this." Pang Fei said with a little fear.
"Hesitating, let it go quickly!"
"The King of Han has said that if he wants to send back the Third Fairy, it's okay, then he must... the Master's Wife go and replace her in person!"
"What?!"
