Love Affairs in Chang'an - Chapter 173

Chapter 173 Chang’an Holiday
After chatting with Li Shimin, Qin Mubai especially accompanied Li Zhi and Li Mingda in the back garden for a while. It had been a long time since they had seen each other, and the two little princes were extremely intimate and excited towards him. Li Shimin happily watched them play together and said that he was going to feel a little jealous. Qin Mubai’s relationship with them was too harmonious and intimate.

Before leaving, Qin Mubai promised them that if he had time, he would come to the palace to play with them. Li Shimin also said that Qin Mubai had to go home to rest for a few days because he had been busy with his business outside. He promised the Li siblings that if the emperor had time, he would also visit the Qin Clan and would definitely bring them with him.

Only then were the two little princes satisfied.

When he left the palace, Qin Mubai almost whistled, his mood extremely relaxed and joyful. Over the past few months, the troubles had never stopped. Now, they were finally light. After dealing with the Jiangzhou issue, Princess Gaoyang’s danger was temporarily lifted. Qin Mubai could really enjoy his vacation.

It was almost dusk. Qin Mubai went to the Hundred Cavalry Camp and informed Li Junxian and the others. He took a bow and rode on a BMW before returning home.

When Qin Mubai thought of his parents and his sister, as well as the mansion that the emperor had bestowed on him before he could stay for a night, a burst of joy arose in his heart. There were also Yao’er who had borrowed the Qin Clan and the orphans, the liveliest wine in the world, Wu Meiniang who had also returned to Chang’an, and Princess Gao Yang, who could not explain everything to him … This vacation would probably be spent with these people.

Qin Mubai did not enter through his own manor, but went straight to the Qin Manor. When they arrived at the house, the servants of the Qin Family were cleaning the courtyard. A group of little girls were chasing and playing around in the courtyard, giving them a sense of peace and warmth.

Just as Qin Mubai stepped into the courtyard, a sharp-eyed servant shouted in surprise, “Young Master! Third Young Master is back!! Master, Madam, Fourth Wife, Third Young Master is back!”

Everyone in the courtyard was alarmed by this shout. The group of little girls who were playing in the courtyard also recognized Qin Mubai. They all rushed forward and surrounded him with smiles, chattering nonstop. After dinner, Qin Shubao’s wife and fourth sister, Qin Shuang’er, who were resting in the banquet hall while drinking tea, walked out in surprise.

Qin Mubai hurriedly stepped forward to bow to her parents.

Yao’er was nowhere to be seen in the manor. At this time, she should have gone to the number one wine in the world to make a living.

“Saburo, this other sect has finally returned after several months. Are you used to it outside? Have you lost weight?” Mother Liu pulled Qin Mubai to greet her warmly, and no one else would be able to interrupt her.

After a while of liveliness, it finally stopped. Madam Liu and Shuang’er went to tidy up Qin Mubai’s bedroom and prepare some late-night snacks. The father and son sat opposite each other in the study, chatting as usual.

“Sanlang, something big happened to you in Chang’an. I came here for father to worry that you would be affected. Now it seems that you should be safe and well, and have received a reward.” Qin Shubao heaved a sigh of relief and said in a relaxed tone, “You brat, you have grown stronger now. You can ruin the marriage bestowed by the Emperor. You really have guts!”

“Haha, Father has wrongly blamed me.” Qin Mubai smiled and said, “From beginning to end, I have never seduced Princess Gaoyang. It was her …”

“Bullshit! A man should take some responsibility. How can you shirk your responsibility now that the matter has come to this point?” Qin Shubao smiled angrily and said, “It’s a blessing in disguise.”

Qin Mubai’s heart lit up and he said, “Father, did His Majesty the Emperor already say something to you?”

“Say what? What can I say?” Qin Shubao also started to play with unfathomable profundity, not saying a word.

Looking at this situation, Qin Mubai understood that the Emperor must have informed Qin Shubao about the marriage.

All along, Qin Shubao had been hoping that one of his sons would marry a princess. Amongst the founding heroes, Qin Shubao’s functional reputation was not inferior to others, but he had never been bestowed a marriage by the Emperor. Perhaps this had always been a worry in his heart. It was good now that the emperor didn’t have to give her a marriage. The emperor’s favorite daughter would rather die than marry Fang Jirang than fight to the death to marry Qin Mubai-this was too much of a face!

In the eyes of others, Fang Xuanling, Changsun Wuji and the others were the most trusted confidants of the emperor. However, in Qin Shubao’s heart, he definitely took them seriously. The old ministers and officials who were also followers of the Emperor were all the same height as each other when they arrived together, and they had the intention of secretly competing with each other. Now, it was interesting. The emperor had bestowed the marriage house with profound age. The princess did not marry, so she insisted on jumping over to the Qin Clan.

This matter made Qin Shubao’s face shine brightly. As for gossip, he was too lazy to care. Anyway, Fang Yi Ai was the only one who made a fool of herself, and her son did not take the initiative. This could only be blamed on Qin Mubai for being too handsome, capable, and liked by women.

Thinking of this level, Qin Shubao felt a little happy in his heart. Wasn’t it because he looked like Lao Tzu? !

As a result, in Chang’an’s earth-shattering princess marriage, Qin Shubao was worried on his face and happy in his heart.

Qin Mubai’s words and actions had already revealed his thoughts. After tasting it, Qin Mubai felt that it was funny. It was as if his father was quite in favor of me digging a corner of the house, wasn’t it? … Here comes the problem. It could be seen that he was quite willing to marry the Emperor, but what about Wu Meiniang, who was engaged first? Father doesn’t seem to like her much all the time.

Personally, Qin Mubai was willing to marry Wu Meiniang first and let her be his wife. Wu Meiniang was smart and capable, and with a little training, she would definitely become a qualified and wise helper. Moreover, the two of them had gotten along with each other in Jiangzhou a while ago, and their relationship had grown by leaps and bounds, and they had gained a lot of tacit understanding.

In contrast, even though Princess Gao Yang was deeply attached to him, she could not bear to abandon him, but if she was allowed to be the head of the family … cough cough cough, then she would really be a duck on the hook.

Moreover, this Wu Meiniang was smart, and Princess Gaoyang was as enthusiastic as fire. Whether the two of them could blend together was still a big problem!

“Ah, what a headache! When did I get into so many debts?” Qin Mubai was secretly distressed.

The father and son chatted and talked, and the military, government, and folk customs of the heavens and the earth chatted quite a bit. During that time, the Emperor had heard that Qin Shubao’s condition had improved, and had promised to come to the Qin Clan, expressing his anticipation for Qin Shubao’s return to the army.

After hearing this, Qin Shubao was overjoyed and said, “This is also because you have made great contributions and made great achievements. You have added glory to the Qin Clan, and I, as a father, have also been honored.” Furthermore, the Emperor must have considered your marriage with Princess Gaoyang, so he intends to help our Qin Family upgrade our Qin Family. I have heard that His Majesty the Emperor is preparing to issue a Clan Chronicle to re-rank all the major names in the world. The reason for this was because they were still learning the secular customs of the Southern and Northern Dynasties and the former Sui Dynasty. Although many of the meritorious officials from the Dragon Dragon Realm were outstanding, in the eyes of the officials, their sects were still inferior to the old aristocratic clans. In the Clan Chronicles, the surname Li is naturally the most respected. Other surnames, such as Eldest Sun, Fang Du, and my Qin Family’s surname Qin, are ranked first. In this way, our Qin Clan’s clan will rise higher in the future. ”

Qin Mubai wasn’t very interested in these things, but this was the custom that prevailed in the Great Tang, so there was nothing he could do about it. It was as if you were a dog from a wealthy family, and you were a bit more arrogant than other dogs. Even if you are a beggar sleeping on the streets, as long as your ancestor has something to do with a noble family, there will still be people who respect you.

Qin Shubao lived in such an era and environment, so it was reasonable for him to care about it. Qin Mubai did not dislike it, nor did he support it.

“This year, you have been busy for an entire year without much rest and seldom return home. The new year is coming, and the Emperor has given you a holiday. You should stay at home and spend some time with your mother and sister.” Qin Shubao said, “Besides, my father’s health is getting better and better. He wants to find someone to practice martial arts every day, but he has no opponent. From today onwards, you will come with me to the backyard every morning and night to practice martial arts!”

“Yes, father.” Qin Mubai agreed and thought of something. “Father, I went to Jiangzhou this time and brought back an outsider! If Father saw him, he would definitely be interested.”

“What kind of strange person?” Qin Shubao asked curiously.

“This person’s martial skill is so high that it can be said to be shocking to the world. This child thinks to himself that he is no match for him.” Qin Mubai intentionally provoked Qin Shubao and said, “Throughout the world, I’m afraid only a strong father can match him.”

“Not ambitious!” Qin Shubao shouted, “Bring him here. Father wants to personally experience him. Could it be that Qin Qiong, who is fifty years old, is really useless?”

“Yes, father.” Qin Mubai cupped his hands and said happily, “Father PK Xue Rengui … What an exciting thing to do!”

If he succeeded, he would meet a talented person. Which of these two is more powerful? Father had long since passed his peak, and his martial arts skills could not be compared to those of the past. But after all, he had spent his entire life in the battlefield, and his actual combat experience was more than 10,000 times that of Xue Rengui. Xue Rengui, on the other hand, was just as strong as Fang Gang, possessing an advantage in fighting spirit and stamina …

Every martial artist, especially a peak martial artist like Xue Rengui, thought it was fun to meet a suitable opponent. Coupled with my father’s legendary reputation in the world, I’ll invite him to come. After the two of them competed, regardless of whether they won or lost, it would definitely be an interesting matter worth entering the annals of history!

Great General Qin Shubao vs. Great General Xue Rengui, both of whom were valiant champions of the various armies-what a classic duel!

Thinking of this, Qin Mubai was secretly excited. She thought to herself that she would go to Mother Beauty’s Mansion tomorrow and invite Xue Rengui and his wife to her home as guests!
