Love Affairs in Chang'an - Chapter 335

Chapter 335 New Year Celebrations in Xiangyang

Although it was an ordinary house, it was not an ordinary shabby house as it looked from the outside. Su Lianqing and the other three ladies had stayed here for many days, and all the appliances in the room were complete and exquisite.

Although the sparrow was small, it had all five internal organs. Su Lianqing had never treated her badly. However, she did not expect Qin Mubai to suddenly throw her away, and then use this place as his Golden House of Concealment.

Inside the room, a charcoal fire was burning brightly. This was the first time in Qin Mubai’s life that he had personally cooked tea. He kept praising himself for what he had learned. He was good at cooking. The pot of tea was indeed fragrant from his boiling.

On a cold night, Wu Meiniang wore Qin Mubai’s mink cloak, holding a warm tea cup in her hands, and her face was filled with a warm and intoxicating smile.

“Mubai, you said that you had something very important and private to discuss with me. Can you tell me now?” Wu Meiniang took a sip of tea and said.

“Isn’t this saying?” Qin Mubai used a pair of silver chopsticks to pick up two pieces of new charcoal burned in Jing Shan this year. She smiled a little bad. She put down her chopsticks, patted her hands and sat down next to her. She said, “I recently learned a new craft, making tea. How’s it going, isn’t it good?”

“This is it?”

“Right, this is it.”

As he spoke, Qin Mubai’s butt shifted. She was right next to Wu Meiniang, and she could feel the unique fragrance and softness of her body.

Wu Meiniang rolled her eyes and subconsciously moved away from him. She scolded, “If I knew you, I wouldn’t be serious. What are you trying to trick me for?”

“What else can I do if I freeze a lone man and a lone woman on a cold night?” Qin Mubai grinned.

“Bah! Don’t even think about it!” Wu Meiniang cursed, but her face turned red to the root of her neck. She put down her teacup and stood up.

Qin Mubai laughed heartily, full of beasts!

Many men like Qin Mubai were strange creatures. The more arrogant and unyielding a woman was, the more exciting it was for them.

After knowing Wu Meiniang for a long time, she had always been Qin Mubai’s favorite type. However, this woman was extremely intelligent, even shrewd. She had never yielded easily. In the past, not having sex with a woman for so long was definitely a special case for Qin Mubai.

As he laughed, Qin Mubai grabbed onto Wu Meiniang’s catkin without any pity. With a bit of dark force, Wu Meiniang fell to the ground in shock.

Qin Mubai took advantage of the situation and reached out to support her waist. Immediately, the beauty was in her arms, her eyes facing her lips. It was only an inch away.

Wu Meiniang was shocked, both shocked and angry. Seeing that Qin Mubai’s face was extremely close to her, she could feel the aura in his nose. She immediately became a little panicked and hurriedly turned around to break free and stand up.

Helplessly, Qin Mubai’s strength was definitely not something she could contend against. Qin Mubai, who was usually warm and gentle, suddenly became a bit unreasonable and domineering. He hugged her tightly and pressed her in his arms to prevent her from breaking free.

“Let go, let me up!”

“Don’t let go. If you let go, my Qin Clan’s ancestors will jump out from the ground and call me bastard and humiliate my ancestors!”

“Nonsense!” Wu Meiniang couldn’t help but be amused by his nonsense.

Her joy was like adding confidence to Qin Mubai’s wildness, and she was instantly even more presumptuous. He held Wu Meiniang firmly in his arms with one hand on his shoulder and the other on his waist. At this moment, he began to twist her around forcefully. The two of them were facing each other in the chest, hugging her even tighter.

Wu Meiniang’s chest was already abnormally full. Although she was separated by thick clothes, Qin Mubai could still clearly feel the heat emitted by her pair of plump jade peaks and the feminine aura that made her blood boil.

Wu Meiniang also noticed Qin Mubai’s sinister intentions and was immediately embarrassed. She hurriedly held Qin Mubai’s face with both hands and turned her body away from him.

However, her struggle seemed somewhat powerless. On the contrary, this little bit of resistance made Qin Mubai’s beast blood boil.

Wu Meiniang vaguely felt that she was “doomed” and her aura became somewhat chaotic. She hurriedly said, “Mubai, I don’t like this. If you don’t let go, I’ll really be angry!”

“Hehe!” Qin Mubai laughed and obediently let go of his arms. He did not let Wu Meiniang get up. She was still lying on her back in his arms and smiled at her. “Meiniang, can you just lie there and talk to me like this?” After coming to Xiangzhou for so long, neither of us has ever been alone. You know, I have a lot to say to you. ”

Wu Meiniang’s lips curled up. He smiled helplessly. He didn’t get up and moved his body a few times to make himself feel more comfortable. He even pulled the mink cloak that had fallen to the ground and covered his body. He used it as a “shield” to protect the sensitive part of his chest with both his hands. Only then did he say in a slightly relieved and mischievous tone, “Alright, tell me, I’ll listen.”

Qin Mubai couldn’t help but laugh and cry when he saw her fully armed. “Is there a need for this? It’s like being on guard against thieves?” He said.

“You are a thief.” Wu Meiniang giggled. “If it weren’t for my alertness and pure self-love, I would have been one of the crippled flowers and willows that you played with. Qin Mubai, you’re a junior disciple. I’m your daughter-in-law. Do you want to treat me like a frivolous woman?”

“Look at what you’re saying, it’s as if your man is really a prodigal son of a bitch.” Qin Mubai smiled bitterly and said, “Actually, you know me. Although I am easy to attract bees and butterflies, it is not without principles. If those women want to like me, it is their business, and I have nothing to do with it. What do you think?”

“You really are shameless and shameless!” Wu Meiniang glared at him in anger and amusement. She even reached out from her cloak and patted him symbolically on the face. She swung her left and right to slap him. She said angrily, “Do you think I don’t know what you did?”

“What did I do? Tell me!” Qin Mubai immediately became angry with embarrassment and grabbed her hand and shouted. However, he felt a little guilty in his heart. This fellow had stayed in Xiang Zhou for so long, so what did he know?

“Really?” Wu Meiniang blinked her eyes, her gaze was extremely unkind and threatening. She had an expression that said, “I’ve got something on you, don’t be arrogant with me.”

“Speak! Absolutely!” Qin Mubai’s dead duck said firmly.

“Alright, then I’ll tell you the truth. Don’t regret it.”

“What I regret is the pig!” Qin Mubai’s mouth twitched, but she said it out loud. As soon as he finished speaking, he regretted it.

Wu Meiniang laughed heartily. She pointed her finger at Qin Mubai’s forehead and gritted her teeth. “Good, good, you really don’t want to die. Do you think I’m Princess Gaoyang? When you were an official in Xiangyang, Princess Gaoyang and I weren’t around. Tell me, who was the woman beside you at that time?”

“Huh? No.”

“Really?”

“I really don’t think so.”

“Bullshit!” Wu Meiniang was so angry and funny that she couldn’t help but curse, “Qin Mubai, you’re such a tough-mouthed bastard!-Let me ask you, what happened to the small building outside the southern suburbs?”

Qin Mubai’s heart skipped a beat.

“Hehe” Qin Mubai’s expression stiffened for a moment before he laughed dryly, “Which small building?”

“Alright, you continue to die. You won’t admit it even if you are beaten to death!” Wu Meiniang scolded angrily, “Who rescued the beauty and released the heroine from prison? Then, she coddled the heroine in a small building on the southern outskirts of Xiangyang? Qin Mubai, you don’t have to lie to yourself, do you? Almost everyone in Xiangyang already knows about this. Do you still want to hide it?”

“Uh … she and I are just confidants, confidants.” Qin Mubai sniffed and continued to laugh dryly with a simple and honest expression.

“That’s right. What a good friend. I’m going to give birth to a child for you. I even said that both men and women are called’little buildings’. You two are really close friends!” Wu Meiniang bit her lips, looking at the expression on her face, she wanted to jump up and give Qin Mubai two blows.

There are no women in the world who are not jealous-Qin Mubai always thought so.

“Cough, cough! Calm down, Mama Mei! That’s all a misunderstanding! Furthermore, it’s all a matter of the past.” Qin Mubai knew that Wu Meiniang must have known everything. It was impossible to say, it must be Su Lianqing who betrayed her. In order to please this new customer, Wu Meiniang, it was absolutely normal for Su Lianqing to sell some of his news to show her loyalty.

“Is that so? It’s all over now?” Wu Meiniang curled her lips and continued to stare at him, “Then who did you sleep with a few days ago?”

This time, Qin Mubai’s heart tightened and he hurriedly said, “I’m sleeping at Pang Fei’s place-if you don’t believe me, they can testify!”

“Bullshit, bullshit, bullshit!” Wu Meiniang was instantly enraged. She stretched out her jade hand and grabbed the soft flesh on Qin Mubai’s belly. She twisted it hard and Qin Mubai almost jumped up in pain.

“Qin Mubai, you’re really dishonest! Do you believe me … I’ll divorce you?”

Qin Mubai really wanted to cry now. She thought to herself, could it be that Wu Meiniang had already seen through the heavens in Xiangyang? She already knew about the matter of me letting Princess Gao Yang’s maids sleep with me in recent days?

“Haha!” However, Qin Mubai wasn’t afraid. Instead, the dead pig laughed loudly and said, “Mother Mei, you already know?”

“You can actually laugh, aren’t you ashamed?” Wu Meiniang was both angry and funny. Her face was red and her hands were twisting around his body. She gritted her teeth and cursed, “Do you know how many people are cursing you for being lecherous?” Scold me for not being able to control my own man? Well, that’s good! You must have two ladies to take care of you at night–say it! “Why is Princess Gaoyang so spoiling and spoiling you, letting you do whatever you want?”

“I… I was forced to do this!” Qin Mubai said with a sad face.

“This is outrageous!” Wu Meiniang was really enraged. She punched him in the chest and scolded, “You’re the one claiming to be forced!-Tell me, who forced you?”

“Just-just Princess Gao Yang!” Qin Mubai was in a hurry and shouted, “When she saw me coming to Xiangyang, she was afraid that I would ignore her and be jealous of you! Therefore, she stuck to you at all times and sent her palace maids to trap me tightly so that I wouldn’t have a clone for a moment.”

“Are you afraid that you will go to the willows in the streets to have fun?”

“It can’t be!” Qin Mubai said righteously, “I, Qin, am a romantic person, but I am definitely a romantic person! I have never provoked a woman like Feng Chen! Heaven and earth can learn from this, and I can swear on my oath!”

“Then you” Wu Meiniang paused halfway through her words, as if she was a little embarrassed. After enduring a puchi laugh for a while, she covered her mouth and looked at Qin Mubai with her eyes flashing. “Isn’t it useless to drain the girls every night?”

“It can’t be!”

Qin Mubai immediately shouted.

Men may not be handsome, but they must not be “no”. After all, Wu Meiniang was a girl who hadn’t stepped out of the pavilion. Although she had this kind of knowledge, she didn’t have much experience. This sentence was originally spoken out of curiosity, but it violated the big taboo of men and instantly stimulated Qin Mubai to the point where the Evil Fire flourished!

“For more than a day, Ye Yu and his wife, do you really think you’re made of iron?” Although Wu Meiniang was exceptionally intelligent, she was still ignorant and said this.

“They’re just … looking at me, I’m not doing anything with them!” Qin Mubai said shamelessly.

“Guess if I don’t believe it?” Wu Meiniang’s eyes flashed with suspicion.

Qin Mubai’s mouth immediately became dry and his tongue became irritable. His eyes lit up as he snorted, “Then you want to give it a try?”

Wu Meiniang rolled her eyes, “Do you dare?”

“Holy shit!!!”

In an instant, Qin Mubai’s beast blood boiled!

Qin Mubai’s teeth were open and his claws were dancing. Just as he was about to bring Wu Meiniang to justice on the spot, he suddenly heard a loud noise coming from the door. It was obvious that someone had kicked him.

With the roar of the Hedong Lion-“Bandit Military Academy, stinking man! If you don’t want to die, quickly open the door!”

Qin Mubai was dumbfounded. He looked at Wu Meiniang and said, “I said, why aren’t you afraid of death today? So you’ve already hired a helper to set up an ambush?”

“Of course.” Wu Meiniang smiled as she emerged from Qin Mubai’s embrace. She stood upright gracefully and pulled on her mink cloak. She smiled happily and said, “Think about how to explain it to Her Highness Princess Gaoyang! She must have heard everything you said just now without missing a single word.”

Qin Mubai blinked his eyes stiffly and couldn’t help but laugh, “I said you two are really interesting! Forget it, I lost today. But you think too highly of Princess Gaoyang. What can this girl do to me?”

After saying that, Qin Mubai stood up and opened the door.

When the door was pulled open, Princess Gao Yang almost ran into Qin Mubai. She gritted her teeth and glared at Qin Mubai angrily, saying hatefully, “You really, really …”

“What is it?” Qin Mubai smiled. It was completely beyond Princess Gao Yang’s expectation of calmness and calmness. She said, “Gao Yang, you didn’t sleep obediently in the middle of the night. What are you staring at?”

“I…” Princess Gao Yang was momentarily dumbfounded.

“You what?” Qin Mubai snorted coldly, “Are you here to catch adultery again?”

“That’s right!”

“It’s you!” Qin Mubai shouted angrily, “You are my wife, and Meiniang is also my unmarried daughter-in-law. Both of you are my Qin Mubai’s women. Who caught who raped you? It’s not embarrassing for you to make such a big noise! Do you have to make our Qin Family uneasy and embarrassed?”

Princess Gao Yang was a little dazed for a moment. Qin Mubai had never scolded her like this. She looked at Qin Mubai with her eyes wide open in grievance and surprise. Her face was filled with surprise, disbelief, and, of course, anger.

The four maids behind Princess Gao Yang were also surprised. Qin Mubai had never reprimanded Princess Gao Yang no matter how much nonsense she made. Today … this is truly unprecedented!

Wu Meiniang was also a little surprised. Originally, it was only because Princess Gaoyang accidentally broke her “secret date” with Qin Mubai that she had no choice but to let Princess Gaoyang be her little tail and play a prank on Qin Mubai. She did not expect that she would really make him angry.

“Mubai, what are you doing? Everyone is joking!” Wu Meiniang hurriedly stepped forward to complete the match.

Qin Mubai didn’t even want to use this as a pretext. He just wanted to take the initiative and not be bullied by the two women together. At this time, he got off the donkey along the slope, but his expression was still a little cold. He said, “In the middle of the night, you are not afraid of freezing. Come in and roast the fire.”

With that, Qin Mubai grabbed Princess Gao Yang’s hand.

Princess Gaoyang’s hand was quite cold. She was pulled for a moment and still stood there. Qin Mubai glared at her and used some dark energy. Princess Gaoyang trembled and obediently walked in. She sat down by the fire. Wu Meiniang hurriedly walked over, took off her mink and covered her lap with Princess Gaoyang to keep warm.

Qin Mubai was somewhat depressed, and with great difficulty, the duo’s world with Wu Meiniang was broken by Princess Gao Yang. “Ah, I failed again …”

This stinking girl!

Princess Gaoyang was blocked by Qin Mubai’s call. She did not say anything for a long time and sat in a very aggrieved manner. She looked straight at the fire. Seeing her suddenly become extremely quiet, Qin Mubai couldn’t bear it anymore. He sat beside her and gently bumped into her, “Are you angry?”

Princess Gaoyang shook her head and continued to look down at the fire. “No. Am I really annoying?” She murmured.

“No.” Qin Mubai and Wu Meiniang said in unison.

Princess Gaoyang pouted and whispered, “You don’t have to deny that I’m annoying sometimes. I really shouldn’t have come today …”

“Don’t.” Qin Mubai hurriedly pulled her back and smiled, “Gaoyang, why are you being so stingy? I’m just playing with you. Are you serious?”

“What’s wrong? If I were Mother Mei, I would definitely be angry and depressed if others kept messing with me and you.” Princess Gaoyang whispered, “I’m going back first. Sorry, Mubai, Mama Mei.”

With that, she was about to leave.

For a moment, Qin Mubai and Wu Meiniang were really not feeling good in their hearts. The two of them came forward together to stop her. The four maids also helped persuade her that the city gate was closed late at night. It was dark and cold. It was better not to go back.

After advising for a long time, Princess Gaoyang still lowered her head pitifully and remained silent, insisting on returning.

Qin Mubai couldn’t help but be a little annoyed and said, “Gaoyang, can you not be so childish? It’s almost midnight, it’s impossible not to make a ruckus!”

“Alright!” Princess Gaoyang suddenly raised her head and smiled strangely. “It’s fine if I don’t leave. Then … let’s go to the bridal chamber together. How about it?”

Everyone was petrified and speechless.

The “bridal night” that had been planned for a long time was still ruined. Apart from Princess Gaoyang, everyone stayed, not knowing whether to laugh or cry, and could only rest.

In the blink of an eye, it was the New Year. Wu Meiniang had carefully prepared for it for a long time, and the New Year was quite lively. The Qin Xian Trading Firm’s large mansion was filled with a joyous atmosphere. With his mother, sister, Princess Gaoyang, Wu Meiniang, Pang Fei, and the others, Qin Mubai was like the head of a family, the core of everyone. This year’s Qin Immortal Trading Firm was also the core of Xiangyang City. All the officials in Xiangzhou were thinking about how to pay New Year’s greetings to Qin Mubai. Gifts could not be too expensive, nor could they be too cheap, nor could they be yellow and white. This really became a headache for the officials and generals.

It was more than half a month since he had gone home to visit his friends. In the blink of an eye, he had left the 15th day of the first month. He had seen the lanterns on the river during the Spring Festival. The festive aura of the New Year was still faint, which was a common sight in prosperous times.

At this moment, two important pieces of news entered Qin Mubai’s ears.

One of the messages came from Su Lianqing’s “secret report” in Chang’an. The three of them had been in Chang’an for more than half a month, and under the meticulous packaging and promotion of the Qin Immortal Pavilion, they were very popular. The Tantai Sisters Flower had become Chang’an’s famous “Leng Yan Shu”. They were good at sword dancing and their temperament was cold and beautiful. Their fresh limelight even surpassed the Third Fairy’s, sweeping Chang’an.

Not surprisingly, Han King Li Yuanchang, this perverted disciple, quickly stared at them, like a fly, only looking around the three of them. If it weren’t for his previous miserable encounter and his fear of Qin Mubai, he would have already used his power to win over the beauty.

Qin Mubai replied to Su Lianqing’s letter. He only needed to keep his appetite high. There was no need for him to be in a hurry to submit. The sooner he “got his hands on”, the better. It was best not to let him get any substantial benefits. However, he might as well earn enough money from him. Only in this way would he be considered “honest”.

The other piece of news wasn’t just Qin Mubai’s concern, it also caused the entire Great Tang to tremble.

The news came from the Korean Peninsula.

In recent years, Koguryo, Baekchi, Silla, and the three kingdoms on the Korean Peninsula have fought endlessly, and Silla can’t help but ask for help from the Great Tang. At this moment, the main energy of the Great Tang was invested in the Western Regions, so they had no time to interfere with the situation on the Korean Peninsula, so they could only send Li Ke to lobby and mediate as the sovereign state.

Li Ke had been gone for almost a year, but now he finally had some results. The war on the Korean Peninsula subsided slightly. The three countries sent envoys to pay tribute to the Great Tang and presented their credentials to stop the military conquest and to shake hands.

In other words, Li Ke, a diplomat, had beautifully completed the task given to him by the Imperial Court. Without spending a single soldier, the situation on the Korean Peninsula presented the situation that the Great Tang liked to see the most.

Why did the Great Tang like to see the three kingdoms stand on the peninsula?

The reason is simple.

The three kingdoms were divided, but they restrained and restricted each other, and the internal conflicts in the civil war weakened each other, which was convenient for the Great Tang to control. If Silla was destroyed, Baekchi’s days would not last long. If Goguryeo divided the kingdom into three parts, it would definitely become a problem for the Great Tang.

It was almost an open secret that Li Shimin had the intention to crush Korea. First, out of his selfishness, he wanted to completely surpass the former Emperor Yang of the Sui Dynasty. If he failed to recruit Korea, Li Shimin wanted to succeed. Secondly, in Li Shimin’s own words, although Korea is small, it will surely be ruined after a long time. Pacify Korea, accumulate blessings for future generations.

Qin Mubai, from the 21st century, fully agrees with Li Shimin. It was a pity that the Tang Dynasty did not completely take down the Korean Peninsula.

Nowadays, it is most appropriate for the Great Tang to devote its main energy, financial resources and military strength to the western frontline, so that the Korean Peninsula will show a three-pronged situation of mutual restraint and restriction.

Li Ke, the messenger of the Great Tang, was quite successful!

Qin Mubai did not know the exact news, but he heard that Li Ke was still in Koguryo and was regarded as a distinguished guest. He might stay there for quite some time. It would not be easy for the two of them to meet.

Moreover, Qin Mubai did not want Li Ke to come back for the time being. He himself did not want to return to Chang’an too early.

The longer he left Chang’an, the more Qin Mubai felt that Chang’an was only calm on the surface, and the undercurrents inside were surging. Someday, something big will happen.

It is better to watch the fire from the shore than to suffer from it. Therefore, Qin Mubai decided to stay in Xiangyang for the entire first month and enjoy the rare leisure time. When the wedding day is near, it is not too late to return to changan.

Something interesting and exciting will definitely happen there …
