Love Affairs in Chang'an - Chapter 51

Chapter 51 Brothers Gather
Li Ke looked at Qin Mubai seriously and waited for his reply.

“This … Your Highness, please forgive me. Not only do I not know, but even if I do, it is not convenient for me to tell you.” Qin Mubai said, “Otherwise, not only will I be punished by the Emperor, I’m afraid that His Highness will not be able to obtain good fruit from the Emperor himself.”

Li Ke was stunned for a moment and nodded, “That’s right … I was rude, I shouldn’t have asked.”

“Thank you for your forgiveness, Your Highness.” Qin Mubai cupped his hands and thanked him, but he thought to himself, You clearly did it on purpose. The spying information is fake. With your intelligence, you wouldn’t know. I definitely wouldn’t divulge such a thing? Are you trying to test me, someone Qin, for real?

“There’s nothing I can do. I have to go to His Majesty’s place to try my luck.” Li Ke sighed and shook his head. “It has been almost half a year, and Father Emperor should calm down. If I sincerely apologize and ask for compensation, he should also grant me.”

“Your Highness is right.” Qin Mubai nodded and thought to herself, “This is how it is.” The emperor has cut off your food city and grounded you for half a year. This will be enough to explain to the law and the officials. What is there to discuss between you father and son? Why do you have to drag me into this dilemma? Fortunately, I’m not stupid enough to tell you. Otherwise, you, Li Ke, will definitely think that I am a “thief who betrays the emperor”-is it worthy of your trust that I can betray the emperor?

Next, Li Ke skillfully changed the topic, no longer discussing any political issues. Most of them talked about wine starter martial arts, not even the slightest bit about the matters in the imperial palace.

Qin Mubai thought to himself. He could tell that Li Ke really wanted to use me as a “potential stock” to explore and pull the cage. However, he couldn’t figure out what I was thinking. And now that I was very close to the Emperor, he didn’t dare to reveal too much of his feelings to me for fear of causing trouble. Therefore, after a little probing, he stopped pursuing me. On the surface, this person seemed to be gentle in handling matters, but in fact, he was quite stable. If he asks me again and again about the emperor and the court, I really don’t know how to answer.

Not long after, Li Ke said goodbye and left first, saying that it was a private server that sneaked out, so it was inconvenient for him to leave the palace for too long. Now that King Wu’s Mansion’s eldest son had returned from Anzhou, he had been ordered by the Emperor to supervise him like a child every day. This long history was known for his selflessness, and he dared to directly reprimand Quan Wanji, who even the Emperor dared to offend.

Quan Wanji was a stubborn old man who said and did things without hesitation. If Li Ke did anything, he would dare to directly remonstrate with his death. If he didn’t stab the Emperor, Li Ke would be both respectful and afraid.

After Li Ke left, Qin Mubai stayed alone for a while to sort out her thoughts, and then ran to Wu Meiniang’s boudoir that she had been to before.

“Mother Mei, did you invite Li Ke here?” Qin Mubai asked straightforwardly.

Wu Meiniang was stunned for a moment, then she smiled and said, “Yes, what’s wrong?”

“Could it be that he told you to inform him to invite him as soon as I came here?”

‘”That’s right. I rarely stay at the number one wine in the world now. I spend most of my time at home with my mother. Anyway, my family is next to Prince Wu’s Mansion. After I received the report from the servants, I informed the guards guarding the entrance of Prince Wu’s Mansion. Those people used to be your subordinates, you know.”

Qin Mubai nodded, thinking that Li Ke really had a bad idea about me. It’s no wonder that he’s probably a lonely prince now. It’s rare for him to have a friend like me, Fa’er. He’s also working at the Emperor’s side. Can he not pull a cage? Actually, Li Ke is not bad, and he is also kind to me. If you can help him in the future, then help him a little!

“Mother Mei, you don’t have to accept this kind of thing in the future.” Qin Mubai said, “You know the reason and interest.”

“I see–verbose!” Wu Meiniang curled her lips and turned to look at a book.

“The tavern’s books? How much did you earn?” Qin Mubai smiled embarrassedly and asked.

“Hehe, I won’t let you see it!” Wu Meiniang waved her hand and put away the account book. She said arrogantly, “What, are you jealous?”

“Haha!” Qin Mubai smiled and said, “I don’t need you to say that I know that the number one wine in the world is definitely profitable. Your pocket must be bulging. The number one wine in the world is yours, and you are mine-what do you think I have to be jealous of?”

“Humph!” Wu Meiniang’s delicate nose wrinkled and she snorted, “I don’t know. Please don’t always look like you’ve eaten me, okay? To tell you the truth, I don’t know how many nobles and nobles are salivating at me now. You, if you don’t treat me better, I don’t want you anymore. I’ll change husbands anytime!”

“Haha!” Qin Mubai was amused. “Is this a threat or a temptation? Although I know what you said can’t happen, you’re right. I should be nice to you. It’s my fault that I’ve been busy with my own affairs for half a year. I’ll treat you well in the future.”

“Hehe, that’s more like it … But remember, don’t think that you can do whatever you want just because there’s a marriage contract that binds us. This girl has never thought so.” Wu Meiniang held the account book with her hands cut off from her back and paced up and down. “If you treat me well, make me moved, make me happy, and make me feel that marrying you is not bad, then I will be willing to follow you.” Didn’t you always call yourself a love saint and know how to make women happy? Then please let me see it. Ever since I met you, I only remember that you only know how to brag in front of me, and almost never make me happy. ”

“Alright, just wait and see.” Qin Mubai smiled and said, “I’ve just taken a few days off. I’ll have time to accompany you when I come home to visit my father. Besides, Baiji’s work is on track. I won’t be so busy in the future. I’ll be able to come out of the palace to see you when I’m free.”

“I said it’s useless. I’m waiting to see!” Wu Meiniang slapped the book with both hands. “Also, don’t forget that you still owe me a hundred drinks last time. By now, the profit has reached three hundred drinks. General Qin, your grand Commander in Chief of the Royal Guards will not owe the store so much money, right? Otherwise, I will really ask the Emperor for the bill!”

“…” Qin Mubai was speechless. The corner of his mouth twitched a few times and he laughed dryly, “You’re not doing business, you’re clearly robbing! … Forget it, I’ll call someone to deliver the money later. My salary for the past few months can be considered as giving you a full account, so I’ll treat it as giving it to your family.”

“Hehe, it should be, it must be.” Wu Meiniang covered her face with a scroll and smiled like a thief, her face like a peach blossom and her charming eyes like silk.

“Mother Mei, how can you laugh so heartily? Isn’t this forcing me to make a mistake?” Qin Mubai also smiled, but Wu Meiniang’s delicate body trembled slightly. Only then did she realize that there had always been only the two of them in this secluded and elegant boudoir.

“Get out, get out!” Wu Meiniang couldn’t help but push Qin Mubai out. Qin Mubai laughed heartily and didn’t play around with her. It was time for her to go home and report.

Turning around and covering the door, Wu Meiniang giggled and muttered to herself, “Actually, when I first met him, I felt that he was quite good. If the Emperor hadn’t interfered with my heart, it wouldn’t have been impossible for me to follow him.” This stinking man is indeed a bit capable. In just half a year, he has become this kind of person. I can use his convenience to open a wine shop with such success. “Anyway, fate is already like this. I can no longer be separated from this stinking man … Instead of doing this, it would be better for him to treat me better!”

After leaving Mama Mei’s best friend, Qin Mubai went to look for Pang Fei. He found that this kid was lying on his back in the courtyard, and he was still shouting nonsense, “Sisters, drink more, drink more!”

Yao’er and the others covered their mouths and secretly smiled. One of the women said, “Young Master Qin, this disciple of yours is really interesting. He actually dares to drink such strong liquor in large cups and cups. In three or two seconds, he will be drunk.”

Another woman said, “This brat is still an eighteen-year-old buddy who hasn’t married yet. He has never touched a woman before. When he suddenly met the three of us, he was already in a daze. How could he not desperately drink because he dared to be a hero? Hehe!”

Yao’er smiled and said, “Sisters, you guys broke Young Master’s follower. What should we do?”

Qin Mubai shook his head and smiled bitterly, “Pang Fei is usually quick-witted. I didn’t expect that he would faint like this when he saw a woman.” How about this, I won’t take him away anymore, so I’ll throw him in the world’s number one wine and place him in the flowers for a few days. These past few days, you guys have made the sisters in the shop greet him with all their might, but don’t really have … that thing with him. “If he really can’t hold back any longer, let him go to Ying Yuan to fool around-this brat is at least a general or a royal subordinate, and even a few women can’t withstand the attacks, how can he?”

“Hehe, Young Master has an order. We should obey!”

Qin Mubai shook her head and smiled as she left. With Number One Under Heaven’s Wine, a large number of goblins who were bewitching and unwilling to pay for their lives, Pang Fei believed that Pang Fei would be able to possess female “antibodies” as soon as possible. Otherwise, wouldn’t it be a hidden danger if they ran into trouble with women during missions in the future? Qin Mubai had been thinking about nurturing Pang Fei into a trusted confidant beside him, so he had to help him fill this gap.

After spending a lot of time at Number One Under Heaven’s Wine, seeing that it was getting late, it was time to go home and visit his parents, or else he would miss dinner.

Just as they were going downstairs, Qin Mubai suddenly heard a shocked cry, “Third Brother? Why are you here?”

“Big brother, second brother?” Qin Mubai looked around and discovered that it was actually Qin Tong, the two elders’ elder brothers. Qin Bin was calling him. The two of them were sitting in a wine hook bar in the hall, together with another middle-aged man in his forties.

Qin Mubai hurriedly went downstairs to greet Qin Mubai. Qin Tong, the eldest brother, stood up and pulled Qin Mubai to sit down. He laughed loudly and said, “Second brother, why did we forget that the number one wine in the world was made by my third brother’s wife?”
