A few days later, in the evening, the Daming Palace was on the bank of the Yuhe River.
"Hey, teacher, I'm almost done with my fingering skills, right?" Princess Gao Yang asked happily after finishing playing "Mountains and Flowing Waters" intermittently.
"Let's make do." Qin Mubai smiled and said casually. He really wanted to say that he could not master such a simple fingering technique even after learning it for a long time. The notes that came out were so incoherent that it almost made people sleepy.
"Hey, why don't you praise me? It's true." Princess Gaoyang caressed the strings and said, "Do you know that I have been practicing diligently after returning to the palace every day, and it took a lot of effort to get to where I am now. As a teacher, you don’t know how to encourage your students.”
"I have never seen a student like you who asks the teacher to praise you." Qin Mubai said with a smile, "When I say it's okay, I'm actually encouraging you. Otherwise, if I tell the truth, it will definitely hit you again."
"Hmph!" Princess Gao Yang glared at him angrily, "Do you think I'm stupider than your little blind female disciple?"
Qin Mubai was stunned for a moment and said: "No, you are much smarter than her. In terms of qualifications and talent, Yao'er is worse than anyone else. She can't even see the music score. The reason why she plays the pipa so well , all because of one word.”
"What word?"
"concentrate."
"It's clearly two words! You're kidding me!" Princess Gao Yang felt teased and raised her pink fist in protest.
"Haha!" Qin Mubai laughed and dodged, saying, "That's true. For Yao'er, music is almost all of her life and the sustenance of her spirit. And you, you have too many thoughts, how could you do this? Concentrate on learning pipa?”
"Wha, what do you mean, what is extravagant thinking? You're talking nonsense!" Princess Gaoyang blushed a little when she was told what was on her mind, so she put on a straight face and pretended to be angry, "It's obviously you who are partial! You are so serious about teaching Yao'er. I have been doing things half-heartedly!"
"If you say that, I can't help it." Qin Mubai said with a helpless smile, "I teach Yao'er only once, and it won't last more than one stick of incense."
"You still said, I'm really angry!" Princess Gao Yang raised a pink fist high, and it was about to be smashed down.
"Okay, stop it." Qin Mubai grinned for a while and said, "But this time, I really thank you."
What Qin Mubai thanked was none of his business. After the incident between Wu Meiniang and Tian Xia No. 1 Jiu a few days ago, he was once in a very difficult situation. As a result, Princess Gaoyang took action and ran to Han Wang Li Yuanchang, and settled the problem easily with a few words - Li Yuanchang obediently released the three fairies, and also personally refuted the rumors, saying that the reason why he wanted to invite Wu Meiniang to his house as a "guest" was actually because he was "accepted" "As entrusted by others", he wanted to ask her about the brewing method of "Qinxian Royal Wine". He even "betrayed" the client - a big liquor businessman in Chang'an City.
Li Yuanchang's move was indeed beautiful. Such a cover-up would at least make others think that he was really after the recipe for Yujiu, rather than coveting Wu Meiniang's beauty.
Although it was just a cover-up, at least when the emperor questioned him, Li Yuanchang at least had an excuse to avoid being charged with "insulting a wife". In this way, the conflict between him and Qin Mubai was naturally redirected, at least not as sharp as before.
But Qin Mubai really remembered the "bastard" Li Yuanchang in his heart. It is obvious that stealing someone's wife will result in cuckoldry. This is simply a humiliation for men. This is even more outrageous than Ximen Qing, not to mention Qin Mubai never thought of becoming Wu Dalang.
"Hey, even though you said thank you, your expression seems to be very angry?" Princess Gao Yang blinked and asked, "What's wrong, you still hate my Seventh Emperor Uncle in your heart?"
"It's okay." Qin Mubai breathed a sigh of relief, smiled casually, and said easily. Naturally, he would not be so stupid as to completely believe Princess Gaoyang and even say such things to her.
"Hmph, don't think I'm so stupid. You can't even tell." Princess Gao Yang curled her lips and said a little dissatisfied, "You are so dishonest. You say no, but your heart is itching with hatred. In fact, you are so dishonest. … My Uncle Seventh Emperor is not a bad person, but he was spoiled by the late emperor’s grandfather since he was young. He is a bit playful and wanton. This time he accidentally offended Wu Meiniang. I must have not inquired clearly before. I went to persuade him a few days ago. He told him about the origin of Wu Meiniang's identity and his relationship with you, and he was very repentant. He also heard that you played the pipa extremely well, and even said that he wanted to come to you for advice and to make friends with you! "
make friends? Do you want to make friends with this kind of person and swap wives
Qin Mubai felt a secret fire burning in his heart for no reason, and smiled coldly: "Let's talk about it! He is a prince and I am a minister. It is probably difficult for us to get along with each other."
"What do you mean..." Seeing Qin Mubai's stiff attitude, Princess Gaoyang said a little dissatisfied but also a little worried, "Are you really going to hate my Seventh Emperor uncle from now on? It's better to dissolve enemies than to end them. I advise you to do it anyway. Don’t do it! Otherwise, it would be so hard for me to be in the middle, don’t you think?”
"Are you caught in the middle?" Qin Mubai couldn't help but smile.
"Of course!" Princess Gao Yang lost her words for a moment and hurriedly murmured, "He is my uncle, and you are my teacher!"
"Okay, I promise you I won't hate him. But if you want me to be friends with him... To tell you the truth, I really can't do it. Besides, what will outsiders say if they find out? I, Qin Mubai, am flirting with someone who wants to My wife has become a friend, even if this bastard cuckold is not worn, it is no different than wearing it," Qin Mubai said.
"Okay... Then I won't mediate between you. It seems that you two men are equally talented and arrogant." Princess Gao Yang sighed softly and shook her head helplessly.
Qin Mubai didn't want to get entangled in this issue. It's never too late for a gentleman to take revenge. Now is not the time to attack Li Yuanchang, so he can just write down the account for now. So, he changed the subject and said: "I am tired these days. I will ask for leave from Your Majesty tomorrow and go back to rest for a while. You can practice the pipa well by yourself."
"What, you want to leave?" Princess Gao Yang asked mischievously.
"It's just a vacation, it's not like I won't come back." Qin Mubai said calmly, staring at the sparkling river.
"Oh..." Princess Gao Yang responded, blinked her eyes, and suddenly gave a ghostly smile, "Hey, you are taking a vacation from the palace, and you want to take me out to play by the way? I haven't gone out to play since I returned to Chang'an! The best wine in the world is so famous, but it’s opened by your unmarried wife, so take me to see it!”
Qin Mubai glanced at her sideways: "I took a vacation to visit my parents, not to play. Isn't it easy for you to go out of the palace to play? It's not like taking a few palace maids and eunuchs with you."
"Okay, okay, take me there..." Princess Gao Yang giggled, pouted and pulled Qin Mubai's sleeves, acting coquettishly.
"No." Qin Mubai rejected her decisively. Originally, one of the main purposes of his vacation was to cool down his increasingly growing "intimacy" with Princess Gaoyang. How could he take her out of the palace to play with him? If that's the case, if you don't date the princess, then you still have to date the princess. Furthermore, if Princess Gao Yang and Wu Meiniang meet... With the temperament of these two people, Halley's comet will hit the earth, which will be really bearable.
"Hmph, what do you mean!" As expected, Princess Gaoyang was angry. "I didn't force you to go up mountains of swords and seas of fire. I just went to play together. How could you reject me so coldly and hard? If it weren't for me I have no real friends in my life, and no one in the palace is willing to play with me. Do you think I will really pester you? "
After saying that, Princess Gao Yang crossed her hands on her chest and turned away angrily.
Qin Mubai blinked his eyes a few times and said with a smile: "This is also angry. You may not be a little too petty, right?"
"I'm just angry. What can you do to this princess?"
"Haha, a dead pig is not afraid of being scalded by boiling water..."
"You, you are the dead pig!" Princess Gaoyang laughed again, softened her tone, and said, "Hey, even if you don't take me to the best wine in the world... How about we go somewhere else to play? ? Aren’t you just afraid that Wu Meiniang will see the taste, hehe!”
"You are a brat!" Qin Mubai glared at her and said, "It won't work this time, let's try it next time. I have a lot of things to do when I go home this time. Well... metaphorically speaking, my father's position is Tian Heyong. The business field, and my own job field, are about to collect rent and start distribution. I have been taking care of these things at home. How can I still have time to go out and play? , when I returned home, my father was always very strict. He asked me to accompany my mother and sister every day, or to test my martial arts skills in person. In addition... "
"Stop, stop, stop, that's enough, no more need to say it." Princess Gaoyang said angrily, "If you don't take it, I won't take it with you. I won't go by myself? Huh! I want to go to the No. 1 Winery in the World to see the most beautiful people. Wu Meiniang of Chang'an City, by the way, tell her how you bullied me in the palace."
Qin Mubai was stunned for a moment and looked at her speechlessly.
"And how did you seduce me!"
"..." Qin Mubai grinned, "Actually, you can be more vicious."
"Okay - I'll tell her directly that you hooked up with many maids in the harem, flirting with each other all day long, and once you even wanted to... humiliate me!" After saying that, Princess Gaoyang's iconic evil smile appeared on her face. , "General Qin Mubai, do you want to hear something more vicious?"
Qin Mubai really wanted to jump up, pinch the little witch, coughed dryly, and said, "Go ahead and say it. With Wu Meiniang's IQ, she will never believe such nonsense."
"Hey, there is a person, although he is very smart, but when he hears what I said, he will be very angry and have to skin you alive." Princess Gao Yang smiled even more devilishly and proudly.
"You don't mean to say, my father, do you?" Qin Mubai's scalp tightened.
"That's right, you are so smart." Princess Gao Yang clapped her hands and laughed, "How about it, do you want to give it a try?"
"..." Qin Mubai's mouth twitched slightly and he was speechless for a long time. He patted his butt and stood up, "I will only take you to the best wine in the world once, and you are not allowed to bother me again. Otherwise, I will take the risk The risk of being punished by the Nine Clan will really strangle you to death!"
"Yeah, it's successful!" Princess Gao Yang cheered. Watching Qin Mubai walk away, the bright smile on Princess Gaoyang's face never disappeared, and she snickered: "Dead military academy, stinky man, are you destined to be eaten by this princess one day? It's okay now, I know Your biggest weakness is Wu Meiniang and Qin Shubao. Hum, let’s see how you fight with me in the future - Hey, this stinky man seemed to have called me a ‘stinky girl’ just now. I was so happy that I didn’t hear it... He’s really a coward. Oh my God!"
