Love Affairs in Chang'an - Chapter 142

Chapter 142 Before And After Flowers
Just like that, Princess Mubai held Qin Gaoyang’s arm and walked three or four laps back and forth in the clearing of the woods. Qin Mubai had long since gotten used to such a stroll, but this was the first time in Princess Gaoyang’s life. Although she casually walked around, her heart was beating wildly. Her face was flushed red, and she would occasionally snicker to herself.

“It seems like this scene has only happened in a dream …” She secretly said happily, “It’s so warm beside him, and I feel at ease in my heart, as if I’m not afraid of the heavens falling down.”

“Gaoyang, you mustn’t act rashly when you return to Chang’an this time. You can’t really provoke His Majesty the Emperor!” ‘”No matter how much he pampered you in the past, you can’t do anything to hurt his face. A commoner has killed someone because of a moment of anger, let alone an emperor who ruled over the world. As long as you don’t hurt his authority, everything is negotiable. After all, he still dotes on you.” Qin Mubai said.

“I know, you’re so verbose!” Princess Gaoyang pouted and whispered, “I’m not really stupid. Don’t I know his temperament, my own father?” But this time, I really can’t stand it anymore! … Also, can you not talk to me about these troublesome things and let me relax for a while? Also, can you not call me Gaoyang, princess? Your Highness, you’re tired of listening. Call me Ling’er! ”

“Ling … Er?” Qin Mubai smiled strangely. He raised his eyebrows and grinned. “I’m really not used to it. It would be a crime if others heard me call you that.”

“I don’t care. You want you to call me that!” Princess Gao Yang opened her mouth and stubbornly shook Qin Mubai’s elbow. She snorted and said, “I’m a princess. You have to do whatever I say. Call me Ling’er! Call me Ling’er! Call me, call me Ling’er!”

“Alright, I’ll call.” Qin Mubai pretended to be serious as he stared at Princess Gaoyang. Suddenly, he raised his voice and let out a long howl, “Ah–”

“Scoundrel, you scared the shit out of me, giggle!” Princess Gaoyang laughed loudly, causing the flower branches to tremble and her eyes to turn into a crescent bud. “What kind of strange thing is howling!”

“Wolf howls!” Qin Mubai laughed and said, “You haven’t seen a wolf, have you?”

“I just saw it!” Princess Gaoyang covered her mouth and giggled. “What a horrible cry! I also heard that the wolf’s eyes are green. Quickly show me the green!”

“Come, punch this way. I’m sure you’ll be green.” Qin Mubai bent over and pointed to her eyes.

“Hehe, then I’ll fight!” Princess Gaoyang raised her small pink fist and clenched her hands at the fist. She even swung her elbow two times in a feigned manner and exerted enough strength. Qin Mubai couldn’t help but feel a chill in his heart. This silly girl, can she really fight?

At this moment, Princess Gaoyang suddenly stood on tiptoe and held Qin Mubai’s face with both hands. She quickly kissed him on the face and then quickly ran away.

“Holy shit! My first kiss after coming to the Great Tang was robbed just like that?” Qin Mubai was stunned. He touched Xiang Yu Yun’s cheek and thought to himself, “This little girl is hopeless. She really has feelings for me.”

“Keke, Green-eyed Wolf, come and catch me!” Princess Gaoyang succeeded in her crafty scheme and ran happily in front like a deer. Actually, his heart was almost filled with excitement. His heart was beating so fast that it seemed as if it was about to jump out of his chest, so he hurriedly used other actions to conceal his loss of composure. He was a little further away, so that he wouldn’t be able to see his red cheeks even under the darkness of the night.

Qin Mubai secretly shook his head and smiled. He actually dared to tease me like this. If you were a little older or changed your identity, or if it was the 21st century, you would definitely be doomed tonight. Sigh, she’s still a 14-15 year old girl … It’s shameful to have a bridal chamber with a minor!

“What are you still waiting for? Come here!” Princess Gao Yang jumped up and down, waving Qin Mubai’s big cloak and circling around, giggling.

Under the moonlight, in the autumn wind, she was like a cheerful elf, dancing happily.

Li Ke sat inside the cabin and watched the scene outside. He couldn’t help but raise the corner of his mouth slightly and thought to himself, “Although Gaoyang has been well-nourished and even spoiled since childhood, when has he ever been so happy without any taboo?” Born in the royal family, it was an inexplicable sorrow. It was destined to be difficult to enjoy the natural affection of ordinary people, and it was also impossible to pursue the love and life that he wanted. Gaoyang, I am really jealous of you. Although you may not be able to be with him in the future, at least you are happy now. Compared to your stubbornness and persistence, I really look like a coward … Shuang’er, when can I get together with you for such a short period of time? Even if it was just a moment … ”

“Aiyo!” Suddenly, a miserable cry of pain interrupted Li Ke’s contemplation. With a frown, Princess Gaoyang fell to the ground and immediately shouted, “It hurts! It hurts me to death!” The man surnamed Qin told you to hurry up. You didn’t come. Look, I fell down! It’s all your fault for the necrosis! ”

Li Ke was stunned and immediately shook his head with tears and laughter, “This fellow is really a living treasure. If he falls, he has to blame others. Fortunately, it is a broad-minded man like Qin Mubai who can accommodate her!” In my opinion, Gaoyang has only met such a Qin Mubai since childhood, so he has the best way to deal with her. ”

Qin Mubai quickly walked over and hurriedly squatted down. “How is it? Did you sprain your foot?” She said with concern.

“No, it hurts here” Princess Gaoyang chuckled and patted her little butt gently. Then, she stretched out her hands and said, “Pull me up!”

Qin Mubai chuckled and stretched out his hand, “You really have a lot of tricks! Come on!”

Princess Gaoyang stretched out her white and tender hand and placed it on Qin Mubai’s warm big hand. She giggled and lazily stood up. She snorted, “Pull me up hard, I don’t have the strength to fall!”

“Naughty.” Qin Mubai took a step forward and grabbed her waist. He pulled her up with some strength and patted the fallen leaves and grass on her cloak. He said, “You’re still like a child of a few years old. You can fall on your own. If I don’t come, won’t you get up?”

“I want it!” Half of Princess Gaoyang had already entered Qin Mubai’s embrace. She pouted and whispered, “From now on, I want you to accompany me at all times. You can’t leave for a while.” ‘”Because I often fall, sometimes I get knocked on the head by the door, or I get my finger hurt somewhere else. Anyway, if I have a little bit of trouble, I want you to appear right in front of me, otherwise I will …!”

“Haha! So what?” Qin Mubai was amused.

“I will roll all over the ground, I will cry, I will complain to Father Emperor that you bullied me!” The corners of Princess Gao Yang’s lips curled into a bright smile, revealing her pair of little tiger fangs and small wine whirlpools. She whispered in Qin Mubai’s ear.

“Are you threatening me?” Qin Mubai gently rubbed her waist and smiled, “Alright, I’m done.”

“It’s obviously not clean yet” Princess Gaoyang not only did not walk away, but instead leaned closer. Her face flushed red as she lowered her head and snickered, “Take another shot.”

Qin Mubai had almost embraced Princess Gao Yang in his arms. His body could feel her temperature, and his nose was filled with her unique body fragrance.

This smell was truly intoxicating!

Princess Gaoyang’s body tensed up nervously. Her heartbeat suddenly intensified, and her face turned even redder.

Li Ke tilted his head to look at the two of them hugging each other under the moon and muttered, “Aren’t you provoking me?”

“Hu–”

A gust of cold wind blew and the fallen leaves danced wildly.

Princess Gaoyang naturally shrank and hid in Qin Mubai’s arms. She leaned her head against his sturdy chest and closed her eyes drunkenly.

‘”So comfortable, so warm” Princess Gaoyang muttered softly.

Qin Mubai almost instinctively wanted to reach out and hug her. He inadvertently glanced sideways and saw Li Ke in the wooden house not far away, so he patted her shoulder instead and said, “Let’s sit down for a while.”

“Oh … Alright.” Princess Gaoyang looked sideways knowingly and saw Li Ke. She hurriedly pulled herself out of his embrace and smiled awkwardly. She pointed at a mountain rock and said, “Sit there!”

Li Ke curled his lips in embarrassment and said, “I’d better go to sleep. How eye-catching!”

Qin Mubai and Princess Gaoyang sat down. Gaoyang naturally grabbed his elbow and leaned his head on his shoulder. “What do you think would happen if I stayed in Jiangzhou for a few more days?” He said.

Qin Mubai was slightly stunned and smiled, “You can try. However, it will probably be more troublesome.”

“I know … Maybe I’ll be fine, but I’ll implicate you.” Princess Gaoyang said somewhat sullenly, “But I really don’t want to go back to Chang’an.” You know, today is the happiest day of my life. I’ve never been so relaxed and happy. I feel like I used to be living to look like someone else. “Because I am a princess, I must pretend to be very dignified and calm. I can’t laugh and shout. I have to abide by a few rules. I can’t even walk fast. I really want to stay here and not go back …”

Gao Yang said with a hint of melancholy and sweetness. She hugged Qin Mubai’s elbow tightly and leaned her head against it, afraid that if she let go of him, he would run away, or she would not let go just like a child who was afraid of being robbed of a sugar gourd.

Qin Mubai didn’t know what to say. As for Gaoyang, he knew that he didn’t have a good impression of her from the beginning and just wanted to stay away from her. But now … perhaps he was touched?

He actually felt a little tempted!

“Mubai, do you think it would be great if this moment was eternal?” Princess Gaoyang looked up at the moon in a daze and whispered softly, “Under the moonlight, there are only the two of us in the quiet woods. There are no worries, no battles, no need to think about anything … It’s so quiet, so peaceful! This is probably the most beautiful enjoyment in the world, right?”

Qin Mubai smiled and didn’t say anything. He wondered when I had enjoyed this kind of ancient romance?
