Love Affairs in Chang'an - Chapter 104

Chapter 104 Hanwang Yuanchang
It was dusk, and it was the height of the restaurant’s business. Yao’er was not at home, but Qin Shuang’er was. In recent years, whenever Yao’er wanted to go out, Qin Shuang’er would come to Li Chen’s residence to act as the second nanny of this group of orphans. Although these little girls were very sensible, able to wash clothes, cook food, and consciously study to be a female celebrity, it was undoubtedly better to have Shuang’er’s management.

However, Qin Mubai was very curious, could these little girls endure Shuang’er’s cooking?

When Qin Shuang’er saw her brother arrive, she was a little surprised, “Brother, you left the house early in the morning. You didn’t find anyone at your house. Where did you go? Why are you here again?”

Qin Mubai smiled and stroked her head, “Your brother is naturally on business. I’m here to look for Yao’er. Is she not here? When will she be back?”

“I can’t come back until around 11 o’clock or 10 o’clock every day. There’s a horse carriage escorted by the number one wine sect in the world.”

Qin Mubai nodded, wondering if I would have to wait until very late.

Qin Shuang’er blinked her eyes, “Brother, are you looking for her for something?”

“It’s fine. I just have to leave Chang’an for a while. I came to say goodbye to her.”

“Leave Chang’an? Where are you going?”

“I have been ordered to go to Jiangzhou to do some business. It may take about three months.” Qin Mubai smiled mysteriously and said, “Go with Li Ke.”

Qin Shuang’er blushed and laughed, “Three months, it’s been so long. He’s going too!” “Can you bring me along too?”

“No.” Qin Mubai said firmly, “This time, we are going to help the people. We are not going to enjoy the scenery. The work is very heavy and serious. If the officials below see that we are still bringing people with us, wouldn’t it be gossip?”

“What do you mean by’idle people wait ‘? Brother, you’re so nonsense!” Qin Shuang’er glared at him angrily, “I can help him with a lot of things! I can wash clothes, boil water, and cook! Hehe, why don’t you take me along as a cook!”

Qin Mubai was speechless for a long time before he coughed dryly, “Then I don’t dare to bring it with me!”-Stop talking, we are going to fight the flood. Don’t mess around! Wait a few days, if things over there slow down, if we can become more relaxed, we can send someone to Chang’an to pick you up for two days. But only if Lord Father agrees. ”

“Good! You said it! Don’t lie to me!” Qin Shuang’er laughed happily.

Later, Shuang’er brought two older girls into the kitchen. Making a mess, he finally cooked a meal. These little orphans are accustomed to living a bitter life, as long as they have food, they are not picky. Qin Shuang’er couldn’t help but smile as she watched them all eat sweetly. Qin Mubai tasted it, but he could barely endure it. It seemed that he had improved a bit from before, so it was probably not good to learn from Yao’er.

It was just that he didn’t know what Li Ke, who had always been used to delicious delicacies, would think of Qin Shuang’er’s food.

After dinner, Qin Shuang’er was about to return. Qin Mubai rode his horse to the alley entrance and returned to Li Chen Ju to continue waiting for Yao’er. He instructed her not to mention him to her parents and pretended that she had never seen him before.

Gradually, the night was getting deeper, and the early autumn weather was cooler. The farmland where Li Chen lived was even more comfortable. The frog cried out for bugs and fireflies, and the night breeze stroked the Parasol Tree as it danced. Qin Mubai sat quietly by the flower stream and waited, almost falling asleep.

The carriage rang and Yao’er finally returned. Just as Qin Mubai was about to step forward, he heard someone say by the wooden door, “Miss Yao’er, Little Wang won’t go in. You better go.”

“Your Highness, please go back. It will be a good journey. From now on, Your Highness should not personally pick you up like this. It will be too inconvenient for the messenger to leave.” Yao’er whispered.

“It doesn’t matter. Little Wang was originally free and easy. He admired Miss Yao’er’s name of being kind and elegant, so he gave her a little help. However, if Miss Yao’er really disliked her, Little Wang wouldn’t dare to persevere, so as to prevent her from being rude.”

“How dare Yao’er! Your Highness has a good intention, and Yao’er is grateful. However … Yao’er feels guilty and has ruined a commoner girl like me.”

Qin Mubai frowned. His voice was quite young and unfamiliar. Who was this? Yao’er said, “Your Highness, which prince and grandson are offering their love to Yao’er?”

“Miss Yao’er, don’t misunderstand me. Little Wang only admires and admires you, and has no other intentions. Little Wang is only willing to make friends with your peers and sincerely make friends with you. Little Miss Yao’er, don’t be too outsider.”

“In that case … Yao’er can only thank His Highness for your kindness. Yao’er has entered. Goodbye!”

Qin Mubai couldn’t see the movement at the wooden door clearly in the night. After thinking for a moment, she stood still and walked back to the flower stream to sit down. Unexpectedly, Yao’er’s hearing was exceptionally sensitive, and she immediately asked in shock, “Who is it?!”

The “Your Highness” at the side of the wooden door clearly hadn’t gone far, and he immediately shouted, “Someone, there’s an assassin!”

Immediately, a man roared and rushed in, scaring Yao’er into shouting. The soldiers of King Wu’s Mansion who were lying in ambush not far away had been paying attention to this place for a long time. At this time, they all rushed out with bright swords in their hands.

In an instant, such a big commotion woke up the group of little girls who were sleeping in the room. Instantly, they screamed in horror and turned into a mess of porridge.

At this point in time, Qin Mubai was no longer in a hurry and walked towards the front mansion in a dignified manner. When the “Your Highness” ‘s followers and King Wu’s Mansion’s soldiers saw a person walk out, they immediately surrounded him and formed a circle, blocking Qin Mubai at the core.

“Is it … General Qin?” The soldiers of the Wu Palace were dumbfounded.

“Which General Qin?” The “Your Highness” attendants were shocked.

Yao’er immediately panicked, “Is it … is it a teacher?”

“It’s me.” Qin Mubai said indifferently.

“Master, please forgive me! Yao’er is unconscious and has collided with Master!” Yao’er kowtowed in front of everyone and hurriedly kowtowed.

“Are you Qin Mubai?” At this moment, a loud voice sounded from outside the crowd.

Qin Mubai looked sideways and saw a young man dressed in luxurious clothes and noble crowns slowly walking over with his hands behind his back. The corners of his mouth rose slightly, revealing a disdainful and hostile smile. In the blink of an eye, when he saw Yao’er kneeling on the ground and kowtowing, he couldn’t help but feel a little annoyed. He hurriedly went forward to pull Yao’er, “Miss Yao’er, get up quickly. Why are you kneeling on the ground and kowtowing when you have nothing to do?”

“No, no, no. If Master doesn’t give the order, Yao’er won’t dare to get up even if she dies.”

“You! What master? What qualifications does he have to be your master? This king wants you to get up!”

“The maiden won’t get up even if she dies!”

Qin Mubai stood with his hands behind his back, his expression calm as he looked on coldly. At this moment, he had also figured out the origin of the person in front of him.

As expected, this romantic and arrogant “Your Highness” who is full of hostility towards me, Qin Mubai, is most likely the Han King-Li Yuanchang!

Did he tease Wu Meiniang? He actually provoked Yao’er? What a narrow path!

“Those who do not know are not guilty. Yao’er, get up!” Qin Mubai said indifferently.

“Thank you, Master! … Your Highness, everyone, this is just a misunderstanding. It’s alright, Yao’er, please go back!” Yao’er looked a little embarrassed and scared, and hurriedly said to the little girls who ran out in panic, “Lan’er, quickly bring the sisters back to their rooms to rest.”

After the little girls obediently left, the soldiers of King Wu’s Mansion naturally did not say anything else and disappeared into the night without a word. Only the “Your Highness” with seven or eight followers still refused to leave.

“Yao’er, is it him that should leave?” His Highness raised his hand and pointed at Qin Mubai. He sneered, “Late at night, you were hiding in a group of women’s dwellings. What do you intend to do?”

“No, no, no. Master has absolutely no malicious intentions!” Without waiting for Qin Mubai to speak, Yao’er hurriedly explained, “Master, you must have some guidance when you come to find me. Your Highness, please don’t ask any more questions. Maid, please leave quickly, right?”

Hanwang? Then it was indeed Li Yuanchang!

“No.” Li Yuanchang remained unmoved and stared straight at Qin Mubai. He said coldly, “Hurry up and tell me. Otherwise, this king will capture you to see an official and charge you with wrongdoing after entering the mansion overnight!”

“Heh!” Qin Mubai sneered nonchalantly, “Then can I sue His Highness every day for a crime of intent to rape?”

“What do you mean?”

Qin Mubai sneered, “According to His Highness’ intentions, I’m here to commit a crime. Then you bring the murder weapon to the market every day, and your intentions are obvious.”

“Pu … Chi!” The group of attendants couldn’t help but laugh and hurriedly reached out to cover their mouths. Yao’er blushed with embarrassment. She really didn’t know whether to laugh or cry. She turned away awkwardly and didn’t dare to speak.

“Idiot, don’t laugh!” Li Yuanchang was instantly enraged, “Qin Mubai, as a court official, you’re actually so dirty!”

“I’m just talking about things as they are, and I’ve never boasted of being a high-class person before.” Qin Mubai smiled calmly and said, “According to this dynasty’s law, if His Highness wants to capture me to see an official, then at least he needs to report it first.” Now take a look. Yao’er and the girls in this room did not say that I have bad intentions. You were the one who urged Yao’er to leave … I’m puzzled. Your Highness doesn’t even understand the rules of the court. Why should you take me to court? “Why are you still staying here?”

Hearing this, Li Yuanchang’s expression changed abruptly. The servants were also enraged, and they seemed to have come forward to attack Qin Mubai.

“Your Highness, are you interested in sparring with me?” A smile appeared on Qin Mubai’s face. Under the faint moonlight, it looked a little strange. He said indifferently, “I’m really looking forward to it.”

He clenched his fists and sounded his horn!

Li Yuanchang and the others unconsciously felt a chill in their hearts, and their hands and feet froze. At the same time, they shouted in their hearts, “Danger!” This fellow is a Hundred Cavalry Messenger, his martial arts are amazing!

At this moment, Yao’er panicked and hurriedly stood in their way, “Master, don’t say anything! … Your Highness Prince Han, please don’t entangle yourself with this misunderstanding any longer, will you? Hurry up and leave! If you neglect it today, the maiden will definitely atone for it in the future!”

“It has nothing to do with you.” After Li Yuanchang spat out a few words, he glared angrily at Qin Mubai and gritted his teeth. “Qin Mubai, for Miss Yao’er’s sake today, I’ll spare you this time. But remember, the relationship between this king and you has been formed. We will meet again in the future.”

“I’m looking forward to it.” Qin Mubai sneered nonchalantly and was too lazy to look at Li Yuanchang.

“Humph!” Li Yuanchang snorted heavily and left with a group of servants.
