Love Affairs in Chang'an - Chapter 181

Chapter 181 Gao Yang Vs. Meiniang
Qin Mubai was also happy to take a walk in the courtyard with Princess Gaoyang. But when she thought about how Mother Mei was at home, it would be a little embarrassing if the two of them were to bump into each other. Although Wu Meiniang had already made sense, Princess Gaoyang had never formally mentioned this matter to her. If Princess Gaoyang and the other two were to have a bad temper, it wouldn’t be good.

With a plan in mind, Qin Mubai said, “Ling’er, do you want to visit my house?”

“Your home?” Princess Gaoyang blinked her eyes. “Isn’t this your home?”

“Didn’t you know that the emperor gave me a big house last time?” Qin Mubai said.

“Really?” Princess Gao Yang suddenly became excited, “Then what are you waiting for? Go! Take me to your house!”

“I’m not in a hurry. Where is His Highness Prince Wu?”

“He’s drinking tea and chatting with your father. Let’s go, we don’t care about him anymore, hehe!” With that, Princess Gaoyang dragged Qin Mubai away.

Thus, the two of them left the Qin Mansion and headed towards Qin Mubai’s mansion.

The two houses weren’t far from each other, so it only took an incense stick of time for them to walk, and they arrived in a short amount of time.

“Hehe, this is your home? It’s pretty, I like it!” Before she could enter, Princess Gaoyang smiled.

“You said you liked it without even looking at it? Could it be that this place is even better than the palace?” Qin Mubai smiled.

“Do you care? I just like it, humph!” Princess Gaoyang left Qin Mubai and rushed into the mansion alone.

Normally, Qin Mubai’s home was empty, leaving only a few servants to pack up. Qin Shuang’er would occasionally come over to greet him, just like the housekeeper here.

After Princess Gaoyang rushed into the mansion, she looked around with interest and thought happily in her heart, “Hehe, good, good.” So Mubai has his own home. In other words, I can live with him in the future, so I don’t have to squeeze into the same courtyard with Duke Yi and the others. What a good two-person world, hehe!

“Mubai, this house is not bad! It’s so clean and tidy, I like it very much!” Princess Gaoyang danced happily in the boulevard like an excited little peacock.

Qin Mubai slowly followed behind and couldn’t help but laugh, “My manor is even smaller than the Qin Manor, and it’s even more shabby, but you still like it.”

“Hehe! This will be our home in the future. How can I not like it? I like places where you are! I also want to visit Jiangzhou again. That place gives me a great feeling!”

Princess Gao Yang cried out happily, and a few figures flashed across the corners of Princess Gao Yang’s eyes. She stopped in surprise and turned around to look. It turned out that there were three women standing in the forest green garden, looking at her in surprise.

Princess Gaoyang did not react for a moment. She stared at the three of them and hurriedly waved to Qin Mubai, “Mubai, hurry up! Who are these three women? Why are they at your house?”

Qin Mubai was shocked and quickly walked over to take a look. He couldn’t help but complain in his heart, “Miserable!”

Mother and Shuang’er, why did you bring Mother Mei here?

This really wasn’t as good as heaven, but he still crashed into it!

“Cough … that’s my mother and my sister Shuang’er.” Qin Mubai said.

“Wow, your mother, isn’t that mine” Halfway through her words, Princess Gaoyang hurriedly reached out and covered her mouth, then hastily adjusted her posture and expression, because the three women had already walked over.

Mrs. Liu, Qin Shuang’er, and Wu Mei Niang all had strange looks in their eyes. After walking over, they bowed to Princess Gao Yang together, “Greetings, Your Highness.”

“Ya! … Exemption! Quickly exempt!” Princess Gaoyang waved her hand anxiously. She thought to herself, “How deadly! I’m not prepared at all. I met Mubai’s mother here.” She wouldn’t think that my indecent behavior was completely indecent if I screamed and jumped like this just now, would she? … Wuwu, what a nuisance!

“Hehe, are you His Highness Princess Gaoyang?” Qin Shuang’er did not have any scruples. She smiled and looked at Princess Gaoyang up and down. She walked to Qin Mubai and smiled, “Third Brother, are you good or bad? You secretly brought the Princess here for a date!”

“Stinking girl, which pot doesn’t boil and which pot doesn’t boil!” Qin Mubai secretly pinched her in anger. At this moment, he saw Wu Meiniang standing at the side with a smile on her face. She did not say a word or say anything. Her expression and eyes carried a hint of mockery, and there was also a hint of displeasure and calmness in them.

The atmosphere became somewhat awkward. Madam Liu hurriedly came out and said, “Mubai, Shuang’er, since the princess has come, how can you be rude? Quickly invite the princess to sit down in the main hall and serve tea!”

“No need, no need!” Princess Gaoyang hurriedly waved her hand, “I have already had enough to eat and drink in the Qin Manor. My stomach is bloated, so I want to … take a walk, take a walk! Ho, ho, ho!”

“What a silly laugh!” Qin Mubai immediately wanted to curse out these words in his heart, but due to the large number of people, he still held back.

At this time, Princess Gao Yang stared at Wu Meiniang and sized her up for a few times. She couldn’t help but widen her eyes, feeling quite stunned. A faint sense of jealousy arose in her heart as she asked Qin Mubai softly, “Mubai, how should I address this person?”

Madam Liu and Qin Shuang’er’s neat expressions froze. Qin Mubai was also stunned. He couldn’t help but think, Anyway, there was no way to avoid this. It was only a matter of time before the two of them met. It’s better to bump into the sun than to choose a day!

Without waiting for Qin Mubai to speak, Wu Meiniang smiled sweetly and took a step forward. She bowed and said, “I, Wu Zhao of Chang’an, greet Her Highness the Princess.”

“Wu Zhao? Wu Meiniang?” Princess Gaoyang’s eyes widened.

“This is me.” Wu Meiniang remained calm and smiled.

“Wow! Then you are Mu Bai’s daughter-in-law?” Princess Gao Yang slapped her lips and covered her mouth anxiously, her face flushed red.

This time, her heart was also a little confused. The sudden encounter with Qin Mubai’s mother made her a little nervous and restrained. And now … suddenly, Wu Meiniang jumped out. Everyone knew that Wu Meiniang was the unmarried daughter-in-law bestowed by the Emperor on Qin Mubai. Didn’t she hear her shouting just now?

“Wuwuwu … why am I so unlucky? I’m so embarrassed!!” Princess Gaoyang cried out in her heart. She really wanted to hide her face and escape. Her face was red to the root of her neck.

Seeing her embarrassment, even Wu Meiniang couldn’t help but laugh. Mrs. Liu hurriedly said, “Is this the first time Her Highness the Princess has visited Mubai’s house? Since she is here, she can’t leave without her lips wet. Please go to the main hall for tea!”

“Oh, good, good!” Princess Gaoyang wished she could dig an underground hole and slip away. At this moment, it was really like Meng Dahao. She hurriedly pulled Qin Mubai and hurriedly walked forward.

Qin Mubai laughed foolishly at Wu Meiniang and followed Princess Gao Yang.

“You idiot! Why did you let me make a fool of myself in front of them? You’re embarrassing me!” Princess Gaoyang complained hatefully in a low voice.

“I didn’t know they were coming to my house!” Qin Mubai said.

“I don’t care, I blame you, I blame you!” Princess Gaoyang wanted to jump up and tear people apart. Looking back, Madam Liu, Wu Meiniang and the others followed behind, and could only suppress them.

“Haha, I didn’t expect that your grand princess, who has never been afraid of the heavens or the earth, would be afraid now?” Qin Mubai smiled.

“I, I don’t have it! It’s just awkward!” Princess Gaoyang couldn’t help but look back and whisper, “So Mother Wu Mei is so beautiful. No wonder you didn’t like me before … Anyone who sees her will like me.”

“Are you jealous?”

“No!” Princess Gao Yang knitted her brows and whispered, “It’s just that I didn’t even give me any mental preparation. I was so embarrassed to see your mother and Wu Meiniang!”

“The ugly daughter-in-law also wants to see her parents-in-law. Why are you embarrassed?” Qin Mubai laughed happily.

“Don’t laugh! Scoundrel! Look, I’m not done with you today! I’ll deal with you later!” Princess Gaoyang stomped her feet in hatred.

The group entered the main hall of Qin Mubai’s house and didn’t know how to sit down. Originally, everyone wanted Princess Gaoyang to sit down for her, but she refused because of Madam Liu’s presence. Madam Liu had always kept a low profile. Although she was Qin Mubai’s mother, she did not eat with him. In the end, they could only split up the guests and let Qin Mubai sit at the top seat, while the other four women sat down at each side.

Princess Gaoyang and Qin Shuang’er sat at the side, carrying a cup of tea. It was like sitting on pins and needles. No matter what, it was awkward. They were looking forward to finishing the cup of tea and running away. At this moment, Wu Meiniang stood up and said goodbye, saying that the number one wine in the world still needed to be dealt with. Qin Mubai and Madam Liu didn’t want to stay with each other, so they could only let her go.

Before leaving, Wu Meiniang turned around and smiled at Qin Mubai strangely before disappearing. This smile caused Qin Mubai’s heart to jam. He didn’t know what she meant. However, Qin Shuang’er was quick-witted and quickly got up to chase after her, “I’ll send Sister Mei off!”

Madam Liu took the opportunity to leave. Finally, only Princess Gaoyang and Qin Mubai were left in the hall.

“Whoosh” Princess Gaoyang heaved a sigh of relief. She curled her lips with a withered brow and said with a bitter face, “Mubai, how could this be? I’m so embarrassed!”

“What’s there to be embarrassed about? From now on, you will all be my close relatives.” Qin Mubai laughed.

Princess Gaoyang complained angrily and turned her face away. “Seeing how heartless and heartless you are, you don’t have the slightest consideration for what others are feeling in your heart …”

Qin Mubai stood up and walked to her side. He smiled and said, “I’ll get used to it in the future.”

For a moment, Princess Gaoyang also knew what to say. She wanted to say a few times but stopped. She opened her mouth, but she could not say anything.

“Still jealous?” Qin Mubai couldn’t help but laugh.

“What am I jealous of!” Princess Gaoyang whispered, “Wu Meiniang, I promised it to you first. Do I still dare to snatch your exclusive possession from you?” Originally, I thought that she would be very hostile and annoying to me, and she would compete with me in jealousy. If that’s the case, I’m not afraid. But just now, she had clearly behaved in an exceptionally generous and tolerant manner, and behaved quite appropriately. The more she is like this, the more nervous I become! ”

“Why?” Qin Mubai couldn’t help but ask with a smile.

“Because, because” Princess Gaoyang rolled her eyes and murmured, “Because she was preconceived, I was interfering, and I always felt a little short of breath and guilty in front of her. Although I am a princess, if I really marry into your Qin Family, I will only be the Qin Family’s daughter-in-law. I respect you! “She’s so beautiful, capable, and sensible. What if you only like her and don’t like me … Wuwuwu, what should I do?”

“Haha!” Qin Mubai couldn’t help but laugh. Fortunately, he thought in his heart, “Good, good!” Although Princess Gaoyang was a little unruly and willful, she was indeed not the kind of petty jealous woman. She was only thinking about how to compete with Wu Meiniang for my favor, but she didn’t think of driving her away from me and occupying me by herself.

“You’re still laughing!” Princess Gao Yang angrily rolled her small pink fist and knocked Qin Mubai twice. She said angrily, “Hurry up and tell me what I should do!”

“What should we do?” Qin Mubai couldn’t help but laugh, “Think of a way to drive Wu Meiniang away from me!”

“Eh?!” Princess Gaoyang was stunned for a moment before cursing angrily, “Bastard, you’re mocking me!”

“Why is this mockery?” Qin Mubai still smiled and said, “You are a princess. Just let your father issue a decree to dissolve my engagement with Wu Meiniang, okay?”

“Sigh … don’t mock me.” Princess Gaoyang curled her lips and said embarrassedly, “My name is Princess now. In fact, I am a pitiful child who was driven out of the palace and abandoned by my father. Furthermore, even if I was still the Princess Gaoyang back then, I would not do such a wicked thing!”

“Haha, I knew you wouldn’t.” Qin Mubai said with a gratified smile.

“Of course!” Princess Gaoyang said sarcastically, “Before you met me, you were already in love with her. How could I be so tyrannical and arrogant as to tear you apart?” Didn’t Royal Father want to tear us apart? This feeling is too hard. I don’t want to try it again, and I don’t want to impose it on anyone else. Especially since one of them is you. If I do that, even if I can drive him away and keep you, I won’t be able to keep your heart. You may never be happy, you will always hate me in your heart, and you won’t treat me sincerely. ”

“Don’t do to others what you don’t want. You’re smart, Ling’er.” Qin Mubai said with a smile.

“Actually, from the beginning, I’ve thought about Wu Meiniang’s question …” Princess Gaoyang murmured softly. “I don’t know how to face her. I’ve never figured out this question. I’ve also been guessing what Wu Meiniang looks like, what kind of person she is, would she hate me, would she want to drive me away …”

“Don’t worry, she doesn’t hate you, and she won’t drive you away.” Qin Mubai chuckled and said, “I’ve already told her everything about us frankly. She doesn’t mind.”

“Really? Is there really such a broad-minded woman in this world?” Princess Gaoyang couldn’t help but be surprised.

“If you really don’t care, that’s a lie.” Qin Mubai said, “It’s like, although you said that you don’t want to drive Wu Meiniang away, you still hope that you’re the only one beside me, right?”

Princess Gaoyang was stunned for a moment. She bit her lips and nodded.

“Anyone can do this. It’s normal.” Qin Mubai said, “But Wu Meiniang is very smart. She neither wants to leave me nor can she stop you from coming. So she chose to accept it happily.”

“You’re saying that you’re trying to persuade me to be like her, right?” Princess Gaoyang said.

‘”Uh” Qin Mubai was speechless for a moment and could only nod with a dry smile. “I just hope that the family is harmonious and that it doesn’t cause trouble all day long.”

“But, but …” Princess Gao Yang shook her head in embarrassment, “But sharing her man with another woman is really unpleasant! But when I think of you leaving me and coming to her side and making out with her, I feel very uncomfortable, really!”

“Then why don’t you split me into two, one for each of you?” Qin Mubai smiled.

“No!!!” Princess Gaoyang immediately shouted, “Isn’t he going to die after splitting open? Even if I can’t get you, I don’t want you to die!”

“Silly … I’m joking!” Qin Mubai chuckled and thought to himself, In comparison, Princess Gaoyang’s will is a bit more childish than Wu Meiniang’s. Her feelings were more direct and simple. She’s not stupid. She knows that she can’t separate me from Wu Meiniang. If she wants to be with me, she has to accept the fact that I have another Wu Meiniang. However, in her heart, she couldn’t accept this fact for a moment.

As a result, she was conflicted.

“It doesn’t matter. Take your time. Time will change everything and make her adapt. Princess Gao Yang, I can’t bear to give up. I won’t give up even more, Wu Meiniang. Who allowed the current environment and customs to decide that a man in the Great Tang wouldn’t normally only have one woman? Let’s go with the flow!” Qin Mubai thought.

Princess Gao Yang curled her lips in embarrassment and asked, “What should we do now?”

“Now, let’s go back to the Qin Manor first.” Qin Mubai said, “Perhaps King Wu has been waiting for you for a long time. Why did you suddenly come to the Qin Manor today without giving any notice? Look at how embarrassing it is!”

“It’s your fault! Bring me out of the palace and not come to see me. I’m bored to death in King Wu’s Mansion by myself, so I can only force Third Brother to bring me to your mansion to take a look!” Princess Gaoyang said.

“You came to see your future parents-in-law?”

“Hateful, that’s not true!”

…

The two of them returned to the Qin Mansion. Li Ke was still drinking tea with Qin Shubao in the main hall. In fact, he was already impatient to wait. As soon as Princess Gaoyang returned, he bid farewell and left. When Qin Mubai saw me off, he asked, “You really know how to take care of me. Seeing that I’m fine, you can give me a big problem. Tomorrow, I’ll come to my mansion to serve this little ancestor. I won’t help you!”

Qin Mubai laughed loudly, “Who told you to be her brother? Well, I will visit your mansion tomorrow, and I have something to discuss with you.”

“Then I’ll wait for you.”

Qin Mubai heaved a sigh of relief when Li Ke and Princess Gao Yang boarded the car and left.

Today was a very troublesome day. Fortunately, Princess Gaoyang and Wu Meiniang did not have a real person PK. Speaking of which, these two women, one was from the royal family, the other was from a tall family. In the words of the 21st century, they were both people who had received a little “higher education”. Their qualities were not bad, and they were not the kind of shrews between the streets. As for how the two of them got along, they would deal with it slowly in the future.

There’s no time to delay, now I have to do something serious-visit Li Jing!
