Love Affairs in Chang'an - Chapter 567
Chapter 567 This Romance Was a Legend
A few days later, it was Qin Mubai’s birthday. It was unknown who had leaked the news. Early in the morning, guests and friends came to pay their respects to Qin Mubai.
The first person to arrive was the highest official of the Great Tang in the Western Regions, the Great Governor of the Moon People’s Governor’s Mansion, and the Governor of Anxi, Su Dingfang.
“Mubai, I’m here to wish you a happy birthday!” Su Dingfang was so angry that he laughed loudly when he entered the door. “Congratulations! Mubai, you’ve been so happy to be here recently. I’m happy for you!”
“Senior Brother is here!” Qin Mubai smiled and greeted him, “Senior Brother, the military affairs are very heavy. Why bother you to come personally on the day of my mother’s calamity?”
“Haha, that’s too outrageous of you to say that!” Su Dingfang smiled and said, “It’s been a while since we’ve been together. It’s not just me. Zhu Bancheng, Xiao Xuanwu, and the others are coming today. I made an appointment with them two months in advance! Others don’t remember your birthday, can I? Why, don’t you miss them?”
“Good!” Qin Mubai was also delighted. He smiled and said, “It’s been a long time since I’ve had a drink with you good brothers. Today, I specially prepared more than a dozen jars of top-grade Qin Xianjiu-we won’t return until we’re drunk!”
“Third Brother, where’s Third Brother An! Haha, Blackie is here to wish you a happy birthday!” As the two of them were chatting and laughing, a loud thunderous voice came from outside the door. Yuwen Hongtai held his youngest son in his arms, followed by his wife, Su Lianqing. He strode over and shouted from afar, “Where’s the wine? Where’s the wine!!”-Quickly fetch the wine, I want to toast my third brother and three big bowls first! ”
“This black one!” Qin Mubai and Su Dingfang came out laughing together. Qin Mubai said, “You blackie, you’re so troublesome. My birthday is the day my mother suffers. If you want to toast, I’ll toast your godmother first!”
“Hey, Third Brother is right!” Yuwen Hong smiled foolishly and immediately shouted, “Where’s my godmother? Today, she is the main character. I have to show filial piety to her and thank her for giving birth to my third brother!”
“Haha!” Everyone laughed heartily.
At that time, Qin Mother Madam Liu walked out of the room dressed in a royal brocade robe, accompanied by Chen Yan and Princess Gaoyang, followed by Ming Zhu and a few nurses, carrying a group of grandchildren, chattering happily.
Seeing this scene, Su Dingfang happily smiled and said, “Mubai, seeing you like this, I really envy others!”
Qin Mubai smiled and said, “Most commoners are like me. What’s there to envy?”
“Cultivation, Qi Clan, Rule of the Country, Peace of the World-you have all been accomplished. Now that your virtue has returned to its original state and you are happy to have peace and happiness, isn’t that the envy of the people of the world?” Su Dingfang sighed with emotion, “How many people have been able to cultivate and cure them since ancient times? Either they are mediocre and powerless, or they are loyal and filial, or they have abandoned their family or lovers in order to achieve great ambitions.”
Qin Mubai smiled and said, “Alright, alright, alright. You’re here today to celebrate your birthday, not to talk about your ideals and life with me-I’ve already said that you must be drunk if you’re here! Don’t get drunk, you’re not allowed to come into my house next time!”
Both Su Dingfang and Yuwen Hongtai laughed heartily. Just like when they were in the army back then, they cupped their fists together and said, “Order!”
“Come on, I don’t want to lead the troops now!” Qin Mubai smiled and said, “It’s been so hard to relax. Don’t create a nervous atmosphere for me.”
Just as he was speaking, another person came to the door. This time, Wu Meiniang brought a group of ministers and generals from the Great Zhao Martial Kingdom to pay their respects.
Qin Mubai couldn’t help but smile bitterly, “Mother Mei, it’s just an ordinary birthday. Why bother to invite so many people?”
“Do you think I invited him?” Wu Meiniang smiled and said, “I don’t even know how they knew. They came to me together and asked me to bring them to congratulate you. They are guests when they come. Don’t you welcome them?”
“Then how dare you? I’m afraid of causing trouble for everyone.” Qin Mubai hurriedly went forward to greet them and greeted them one by one.
One after another, the City Masters of the Nine Cities under the rule of Zhaowu Kingdom and the chiefs of the various tribes in the Western Regions either came personally or sent their trusted aides to celebrate their birthday. The house was immediately filled with guests and friends, and it was bustling with excitement.
When the banquet was held at noon, the hall of the Prime Minister’s Mansion could no longer accommodate people. Fortunately, the weather was fine, so he decided to host the banquet in the backyard beside the willow forest in the lotus pond. Everyone laughed loudly, their cups crisscrossed, and the atmosphere was extremely lively.
Just as the banquet was about to begin, the door suddenly came to report that an angel from the Great Tang had arrived!
Everyone was shocked, “What a coincidence!”
Qin Mubai and his family went out to greet the angel. The guests also followed him curiously to see what was going on.
Seeing the messenger, Qin Mubai, Madam Liu, Shuang’er and the others were immediately overjoyed-“Second Brother!”
The one who came to declare the decree was actually Qin Bin!
“Third Brother, let’s be selfish first-Qin Mubai accepts the decree!”
“Alright.” Qin Mubai answered and led his family to receive the decree.
Qin Bin unleashed the imperial edict and began to read-“The Great Tang Emperor Zhaoyue …”
The imperial edict was very long, and Qin Bin read it for a long time. The guests outside the hall were also silent as they listened quietly. Listen, listen, everyone couldn’t help but exclaim!
Qin Mubai was bestowed the title of King by the Great Tang Emperor! –Commandery Prince Gongyue, hereditary despicable!
Qin Mubai himself was surprised and surprised. Just as Qin Bin finished reading the Zhao Token, he asked doubtfully, “Second brother, is this really the imperial edict personally issued by His Majesty the Emperor?”
“Of course. Could it be that Foolish Brother still dares to fake it?” Qin Bin smiled and held the imperial edict with both hands, “Why don’t you accept the edict to thank me?”
Only then did Qin Mubai sing Nuo Xie’en’s decree and then began to read it in detail. That’s right, it was Chu Suiliang’s handwriting. He had been at the emperor’s side for a long time, and his seal and Chu Suiliang’s handwriting of the imperial edict would never be mistaken!
“Congratulations, Third Brother, you’ve finally reached the perfection of your virtue.” Qin Bin cupped his hands and said, “My Qin Family has given birth to a king. Lord Father’s spirit in heaven can also be gratified. The ancestors will also be proud of you!”
Princess Gaoyang stepped forward and chuckled, “Mubai, show me the imperial edict!”
“If you want to see it, take it!” Qin Mubai smiled and gave it to her.
Princess Gaoyang smiled and read the edict. Suddenly, her expression changed. She said hatefully, “Too biased, too biased, too biased!”
“What’s the matter?” Everyone exclaimed in shock.
“Hmph! Father Emperor is too partial!” Princess Gaoyang angrily stuffed the decree back into Qin Mubai and said angrily, “My grand princess only has three hundred food cities and is still far away from Xianyang. I’m afraid she won’t be able to eat salaried rice for the rest of her life.” Mubai is lucky. A mere newly conferred prefecture king actually has five hundred food cities and is still in the fertile and fertile Bow Moon City-as soon as my princess left Chang’an, she became poor. In the future, she will have to ask Mubai for pocket money. I won’t do it anymore! ”
Everyone laughed heartily.
Qin Bin smiled and said, “Your Highness, please calm down.” The law of the Tang Dynasty clearly stipulated that there were no more than 400 princesses’ and 700 princes’ food cities, but there were no restrictions on the food cities of meritorious officials. Like Eldest Sun Wuji, Fang Xuanling, and Yuchi Jingde, there were more than 700 food cities, higher than a prince. “The Emperor has bestowed upon you three hundred food cities, which is considered appropriate. However, if the Princess does not go to Xianyang to collect them herself, I cannot blame His Majesty!”
Qin Mubai smiled and said, “Why don’t you go back to Chang’an once a year to collect rent in Xianyang?”
Everyone was amused to hear this.
Princess Gaoyang was both angry and funny. I even walked one round trip a year! Forget it, I’m married to you anyway. You should keep me and give me money to spend! Hehe, in the future, I will be too lazy to eat and drink. I will ask for it from you if I have no money to spend! “If you don’t give it to me, I’ll sell all of your land, good horses, good knives, and all of these things!”
All the guests laughed loudly and bowed back and forth.
“Eh, you loser!” Qin Mubai feigned anger and said, “If you dare to be my Qin Family’s daughter-in-law like this, I’ll see if my mother will teach you a lesson!”
Princess Gaoyang giggled and stuck out her tongue. She hurriedly dodged to Mother Qin’s side and held her elbow. She smiled and said, “Granny is reluctant to teach me a lesson. I don’t know how filial I am to her!”
It was just a joke. Su Dingfang and the rest of the guests came forward to congratulate Qin Mubai Rongfeng. Qin Mubai hurriedly replied and hurriedly made another mess.
Only then did Qin Bin step forward to pay his respects to Mother Qin and kowtow on both knees in full courtesy.
Shuang’er was naturally happy when she saw Second Brother. She said, “Second Brother, it’s not easy to come to Zhaowu Country. At least you’ll have to stay longer before leaving.”
“Don’t worry, Fool Brother will probably live here for a year or two.” Qin Bin said, “Your Majesty has decreed that Third Brother will be the king, and ordered me to build a palace for Third Brother in Bow Moon City and plan for food cities and land. These things can’t be completed in a year or two.”
“Really? That’s great!” Shuang’er said happily, “When will Big Brother come?”
Qin Bin shook his head, “Your big brother has followed the Crown Prince’s Palace down to conquer Liaodong.”
As soon as these words were spoken, the entire hall suddenly fell silent.
Qin Mubai also heard it clearly and came forward to say, “Second Brother, did you say that Big Brother went to conquer Liaodong with His Highness the Crown Prince?”
Qin Bin nodded and told Qin Mubai and the others in detail about Li Ke being made the Crown Prince and the war between Great Tang and Goguryeo.
Samoa was more than twelve thousand li away from Chang’an, so it was not very convenient for him to exchange information. It was only today that Qin Mubai, Su Dingfang, and the others learned of such a major event.
After listening to Qin Bin’s words, Qin Mubai fell into a long silence. She cut her hands behind her back and walked out alone. After thinking for a while, he unknowingly walked to the banquet hall.
“Li Ke has finally become the Crown Prince, and the future of the Great Tang is clear.” He thought, “Looking around the Great Tang, there is only one Goguryeo who is like a clown, always causing trouble.” It was only a matter of time before the Great Tang invaded Liaodong. Presumably, Xue Rengui and my brothers from the Kansai Army have all gone together. With Li Ke in command, Li Xi and Li Daozong as supplements, and Xue Rengui and our Kansai Army’s Hundred Battles Master, it will be easy for us to take down a mere Goguryeo! After this battle, Li Ke not only wanted to build up his prestige and reputation in the army, but also wanted to build a military squad to protect him. With the support of the army, he would be as stable as Mount Tai when he ascended to the throne in the future! “Good, good!”
When Qin Mubai regained consciousness, he saw a family, Su Dingfang, and more than a hundred other guests watching him quietly.
“Sorry, I was absent-minded for a moment.” Qin Mubai hurriedly apologized and raised a glass of wine. “Come, today is a joyful day. Let’s drink together-Mother, today is the day of your sufferings, and this child also wishes to toast you!” He said loudly.
Everyone laughed and raised their wine glasses, “Your Highness, please!”
Qin Mubai was stunned for a moment before laughing loudly, “Goodbye, my lord. I’m not used to the lord’s call. The pressure is also very great!”
“Haha!”
Amidst the laughter, everyone raised their glasses and drank them all in one gulp.
Qin Bin purposely poured a glass of wine and walked over to Qin Mubai and said, “Third Brother, today is your birthday. Foolish Brother wishes to propose a toast to you. Thank you for everything you’ve done for the Qin Family and the Great Tang!”
“Thank you, Second Brother!” Qin Mubai happily accepted and drank a cup with Qin Bin.
“Third Brother, do you know? Right now, you are already a legend.” Qin Bin smiled and said, “Your deeds are circulating in Chang’an, whether it is the Imperial Army or the ordinary streets.”
“Countless scholars and writers have written you into the psalms and passed you down to future generations.”
“In the main hall of the Baiji Superintendent, apart from the mercury wall hanging on the Qilin Sun, you are even more dignified. The first thing you need to do to join the Baiji is to worship your first Baiji.”
“During the Spring Festival, other than painting the door deity on the door, the people of Chang’an also have to offer your statue of the Temple of Life as a tribute to the family, and to protect their home for peace.”
“The place where the statue of the Three Fairies is placed in front of the ‘Qin Xian Pavilion’ restaurant in Chang’an has an additional statue of you playing the zither. It is more than double the size of the statue of the Three Fairies. It is a place of interest in Chang’an and can be viewed by others.”
At this point, Qin Bin couldn’t help but laugh, and then said, “Even a place like Goulan Shiliao has to serve you. If you don’t do this, it would appear that the shop here has no class and is not romantic.”
Qin Mubai was completely stunned for a moment before smiling bitterly, “Then I’m really busy.”
Yuwen Hongtai grinned and said foolishly, “Third Brother, I know why those brothel prostitutes want to serve you.”
“You stupid black fool! Don’t say anything good!” Qin Mubai scolded angrily.
“I won’t listen to you this time. I insist.” Yuwen Hongtai drank a few mouthfuls of yellow soup and was a little fearless. He laughed loudly and said, “You guys say that my third brother is so handsome and he has married so many beautiful wives. Doesn’t he make all the men in the world envy him to death?” The madams of the prostitute squatter are also smart. They want to let the guests in enjoy the treatment of my third brother! Do you think so? ”
“Haha!”
The guests in the hall laughed out loud and fell into a mess.
“You fool, your mouth is really open!” Qin Mubai pretended to be angry, “Someone, get this fellow drunk, then strip naked and throw him on the street, let him run naked!”
“Haha!–Order!” Su Dingfang, Zhu Bancheng, and the others rushed to Yuwen Hongtai’s side. They smiled maliciously and said, “Hong Tai, don’t blame us. Your Highness has ordered you to get drunk and then let you run naked. We have no choice but to obey!”
“Hey, hey hey!” Yuwen Hongtai was already half drunk. He staggered and said, “I’ve been with Third Brother for so many years. What kind of scene have I never seen before? Do you need to scare me? If you’re drunk, then get drunk. If you’re running, then run. What are you afraid of!-Come, drink!”
Qin Mubai watched as they squeezed into a ball and drank each other’s wine. He smiled, and his eyes narrowed with laughter.
“Mubai, let me propose a toast to you.” Chen Yan walked over to him and raised a glass of wine. She smiled and said, “Today is your good day. No matter how many unhappy things have happened in the past, it is all over. From today onwards, you must be healthy, safe, happy and happy!-Your blessing is the blessing of all of us!”
“Thank you, Yan.” Qin Mubai raised her glass and said, “I also want to thank you for all the years of silence you’ve given me.”
“Let’s also pay our respects to you!” Princess Gaoyang came up with Mingzhu. “Mubai, we wish you every day as happy and carefree as you are today!-Where’s Mama Mei?”
Wu Meiniang was entertaining the ministers of Zhaowu Kingdom when Princess Gaoyang called her over. “Hurry up, Meiniang, let’s toast Mubai together!”
Wu Meiniang picked up a glass of wine and said to Qin Mubai, “Mubai, I want to say something to you from the bottom of my heart today.” Actually, I am a very petty person. In the past, it was hard for me to imagine that I would share you with so many sisters, a man like you, without any regrets. I don’t even remember when I fell in love with you. I only know … in this life, you are my first man, and you will also be my last man! In Wu Zhao’s heart, you are the only one who can never be replaced! ”
“Thank you, Meiniang … and Yan, Gaoyang, Mingzhu. Actually, sometimes I feel like I’m a bad man. I’m too playful, I’m sorry.” Qin Mubai raised his glass and said, “I owe you all. So, I can only use the rest of my life to treat you well. I don’t know if I can do the best I can. I can only promise-I will do my best!”
Chen Yan smiled faintly, “Mubai, you are just like this. You never speak your mind. There is a sliver of room for anything you do.”
“Yes, so cunning!” Princess Gaoyang frowned and said, “I want you to swear an oath today in front of my mother-in-law and all the guests!”
Qin Mubai smiled and said, “What oath?”
“It’s–I’ve said it before!” Princess Gaoyang suddenly put down her glass and pointed at Qin Mubai with one hand on her hip and the other at her waist. She put on that classic’teapot shape ‘and said loudly, “From now on, the Qin Family can’t have any more women!”
‘”Hahaha–” The guests laughed again. Even Mother Qin chuckled.
“Look at you, you’re playing with treasures in front of everyone again, making everyone laugh!” Qin Mubai smiled.
Princess Gaoyang was also quite embarrassed. After laughing for a while, she purposely said with a stern face, “Tell me, do you agree or disagree to make this oath?”
“Alright, I’ll stand!” Qin Mubai raised his hand and said to the Heavens, “The heavens are above, I, Qin Mubai, swear that in the future, apart from the women we love deeply and the women I owe, I, Qin Mubai, will never accept any women into my house!”
“I… I… I’m going to faint!” Princess Gaoyang rolled her eyes unladylike, “What’s the difference between making this oath and not making it?”
“Yes!” Qin Mubai smiled and said, “At the very least, I won’t go to the wilderness in Fireworks Alley, nor will I take the initiative to lure around.”
Chen Yan smiled and said, “Princess, you can rest assured! Mubai made such an oath for a reason. Have you forgotten Li Xueyan and the two of them?”
After saying that, Chen Yan pulled the Tantai sisters who had been standing quietly beside her over and smiled, “Granny has already ordered Mubai to marry their sisters earlier. Do you have any objections?” These past few years, they had followed Mu Bai through life and death, and they had always protected the Qin Family without any regrets. “If it weren’t for them doing their best to protect the Qin Family, it would still be unknown whether we would be able to reunite here today!”
Princess Gaoyang’s face immediately turned bitter. “There are two more … Woo! I can’t even get a pillow!”
“Cough!” Qin Mubai coughed dryly and said, “Why don’t we draw lots?”
“Fuck off!” All the girls scolded at the same time.
…
Su Dingfang was drinking wine on the couch not far away. Seeing the Qin Family women “besieging” Qin Mubai, he couldn’t help but smile at Qin Bin, “Looks like Mubai’s cup of wine isn’t easy to drink!”
Qin Bin also smiled and said, “My third brother has a romantic temperament and is extremely well-fated with women. However, it is rare that he managed to capture this bunch of women at home, yet they are able to live in peace. This is something that people have to admire!”
“This romance is a spectacular sight!” Su Dingfang smiled and said, “Presumably, Chang’an is also spreading a lot of his romantic affairs now, right?”
“It’s more than just a rumor. It’s practically becoming a legend.” Qin Bin smiled and said, “Whether it’s a powder affair or a great achievement, in short, my third brother can afford to be a romantic figure. He is destined to be remembered in history, smelled in later generations, and turned into a legend!”
‘”That’s right, that’s right” Su Dingfang raised a glass of wine and looked at Qin Mubai, who was surrounded by Wu Meiniang and the others not far away, and said meaningfully, “This romance is legendary!”
.
“Finished.”
.
Say something out of the ordinary!
Chang’an Fengliu is finished. The new book is under review and will be available soon. Please keep an eye on it, thank you!
Chang’an Fengliu had been written for two years, and it had finally come to an end. With nearly 2.5 million words, I broke two keyboards-maybe I bought a knockoff!
In 700 days and nights, after completing a book, I also experienced a life.
When I knocked on the three words “The End of the Book”, I lit up a cigarette and remained silent for a long time, seeming to have thousands of words, but was unable to speak. I think this is probably the same as when Qin Mubai left Lanzhou.
To paraphrase-why do my eyes often contain tears, because I love “Chang’an” deeply!
Finally, thank you-all those who have laughed, scolded, angered, happy, sad, confused, sighed, excited, angry, domineering and regretful, and wept with Mubai.
This romance was a legend.
It was created by us together!
