Love Affairs in Chang'an - Chapter 62

Chapter 62 The Little Demon Intercepted.
Seeing the innocent cheers of the two children, Li Shimin chuckled.

Qin Mubai could clearly see the crow’s tails at the corner of Li Shimin’s eyes, as well as the kindness and sadness written on his face. It had been so many days since Companion Monarch Qin Mubai had seen Li Shimin smile like this. At this moment, it was as if he was no longer the omnipotent monarch who ruled the world, nor was he the Li Er who killed his brother and forced his father.

Who would have thought that a man who had been soaked in political intrigue and saber-light battles all year round would have such a tender side. At this moment, Li Shimin was only a calf-loving father. He had so many children, perhaps he couldn’t be so serious and tender to each and every one of them. However, it could be seen from his treatment of Li Zhi and Li Mingda that Li Shimin was not a cold-blooded animal that ate poisonous tigers, nor did he not want to be a good father at all … What was the reason why most of his children were so clumsy and ill-fated? With Li Shimin’s ability, he could cure a country and repair the entire world. Could it be that he still wasn’t able to manage his own children?

Looking at this benevolent father in front of him, Qin Mubai was puzzled.

The two grown men teased Li Zhi and Li Mingda for a while before the wet nurse came to take the two Little Highnesses away.

Li Shimin watched his two children walk far away until they disappeared from sight. He slowly waved his hand and the smile on his face did not fade.

“Your Majesty, Princess King Jin and Princess Jin Yang, one is filial and the other is smart, both of them are quite good.” Qin Mubai took the initiative to change the topic, breaking the silence and making Li Shimin, who had been absent-minded for a moment, less embarrassed.

“Haha, that’s true.” Li Shimin was in a good mood. He smiled and sat down. He picked up a cup of tea and took a sip, saying, “Mubai, it seems that Slave Pheasant and Son Chi have a good impression of you. Then I can rest assured that you will take care of them.”

The quickest way to win a mother’s favor is to praise her child. This move seemed to be quite useful to Li Shimin.

Qin Mubai smiled and cupped his hands. “To be honest, I don’t have every confidence that I can satisfy King Jin and the Princess. I can only do my best to try. The only thing I can guarantee now is their absolute safety.”

“Well, I’m completely at ease. With your and Baiji’s abilities, I’m afraid no one in the palace can hurt these two children.” Li Shimin looked at Qin Mubai and nodded and smiled with satisfaction. “You lied to me just now … but I’m also curious. What do you plan to do if Slave Pheasant and Young Master Shen fight for your mother in the future?”

“I will tell them stories.” Qin Mubai smiled and said, “This official will tell them that the Eldest Sun Empress has gone to Heaven Kingdom, a very beautiful and warm place. She is there very well, praying for the blessings of her children for a very long time. If they love and miss their mother, they should stop crying and living happily every day. In short, this story will last forever.”

“Haha, that’s a good story. Just distract them. They are still young and may not feel so deeply about the pain of losing their mother. But as they grow older, the feeling of lack of maternal love becomes more intense.” Li Shimin said, “Therefore, I hope that you can resolve their knot as soon as possible and not affect their character or even their lives because of the loss of their mother when they were young.”

“Your Majesty is far-sighted and diligent. This lowly official feels both admiration and admiration. Your Majesty, rest assured, this lowly official will work hard to accomplish this.” Qin Mubai cupped his hands and agreed, thinking to himself, “Looks like my daddy’s task is quite arduous, not only to protect these two little princes, but also to become psychiatrists and even enlightenment teachers … What would happen to the future Emperor Li Zhi if I, someone from the Qin Dynasty, had influenced his personality and outlook on life from childhood?” What kind of deflection will happen in history?

This is getting more and more interesting.

Li Shimin was in a good mood today, with a smile on his face. At this time, the tone of Qin Mubai’s voice was no longer the usual conversation between a monarch and his subjects, but rather the conversation between close friends and even relatives. He said, “Mubai, you are young and talented, and I hope you can teach them more, especially Pheasant Slave.” He is my youngest direct son. I don’t want him to be a playboy and wait for his death in the future. You can use your talent and martial arts to teach him. What he wants to learn, what you teach him. If not even you, tell me, I will choose your teacher. ”

“Yes, Your Majesty.” Qin Mubai smiled and said, “Well, this is not only Daddy, but also Li Zhi’s companion, Teacher.” My identity is so complicated.

Li Shimin frowned and remained silent for a moment. His mind seemed to be brewing, and he said, “The harem is a very complicated place.” If the Empress is still alive, I can entrust her with all my worries. “But now that the harem has no lord and the fourth concubine of Virtuous Virtue does not have the ability to completely renovate the harem on behalf of me, I am not at ease with Pheasant Slave and the others … Mubai, do you understand what I mean?”

“I understand.” Qin Mubai’s heart trembled as he thought to himself, “According to what Li Shimin said, isn’t it that after the Empress passed away, there were some hidden currents in the harem?” The four imperial concubines, who were second only to the Empress, were likely to compete for the throne of the Empress? The harem’s restlessness was likely to affect Li Zhi and Li Mingda. What else could these two immature children do, apart from being sacrificed in the turbulent harem battles?

“Mm … Keep them away from unnecessary things.” Li Shimin frowned slightly, as if he wanted to say something, but in the end, he smiled helplessly, “You don’t need to care about these things anymore. Just do your job with peace of mind.”

“I understand.” Qin Mubai cupped his hands and agreed. Who would dare to interfere with the Emperor’s household affairs? Qin Mubai wasn’t that stupid, nor was he interested. Nuo Da’s harem, the only thing he was interested in was admiring the various beauties that were elegant and elegant, and it also restrained his impulse to hunt for beauty. There was no such thing as grass in the world, so why did he have to cuckold the emperor? That’s a long life.

“There’s another small matter.” Li Shimin skillfully changed the topic and said, “Gaoyang has been talking endlessly to me just now. I did not ask you what you mean, nor did I agree to him immediately.”

Qin Mubai couldn’t help but be a little stunned as he hurriedly said, “Once His Majesty opens his golden mouth, what other things in the world can’t be accomplished?”

“No, I have to ask for your opinion on this matter.” Li Shimin chuckled and said with ease, “Those are the four palace maids you detained!” They had indeed violated the laws of the army by encouraging Gaoyang to charge into the holy carriage. Originally, it was handled the way it should be handled. I remember that the Baiji military order was to charge into the holy carriage to dissuade those who do not retreat, but to kill them first and then kill them later, right? However, they have served Gaoyang since they were young and grew up together. Without them, I would really be a little worried … Therefore, I am begging you for mercy in the name of a father. Can you let them off lightly for their first offense? ”

“Your Majesty has already said so. I can only agree.” Qin Mubai said, “Your Majesty is responsible for protecting the law. I admire you.”

“Mm, we can’t just let him go just like that.” Li Shimin placed the lid of the cup on the cup and knocked it a little heavily. He said, “I have long heard that these four palace maids are arrogant in the harem because of Gaoyang’s favor. Take this opportunity to treat them and teach them a lesson. As for Gaoyang, you don’t need to worry. We have our own district.”

“Yes, Your Majesty.” Qin Mubai smiled bitterly in his heart. You want me to fix those four palace maids? Actually, you’re going to teach Gaoyang a lesson in disguise … It’s your job to teach your daughter a lesson, but why did you drag me into this? Didn’t you make it clear that I offended Gaoyang? With you pressing down on Gaoyang, she might not be looking for revenge on me right now. But once this beam is tied up, will she end up with me in the future? I’m not afraid of thieves, but I’m afraid of thieves thinking about me. Who knows how that evil little loli with a stomach full of bad water will deal with me in the future … Mom, it’s easy to get into trouble when you’re on duty with the Emperor!

After chatting for a while, Li Shimin told Qin Mubai not to worry too much about Baiji these days and to spend more time in Penglai Hall to take care of the two little princes. Shortly after, Qin Mubai resigned and returned to the barracks.

After exiting Penglai Palace, Qin Mubai walked all the way to Taiji Palace. When he arrived at the Imperial Bridge in front of Danfeng Gate, he suddenly heard a low shout, “Stop!”

“Princess Gaoyang?” Qin Mubai could not help but frown when he saw the person. Princess Gaoyang brought more than a dozen palace maids along and blocked the road in front of the bridge like a street tyrant. Little Niang Pi was still dressed in luxurious clothes. No matter how she looked at it, her face was the best of the Idol Sect. However, the strange smile on her face and the evil gaze in her eyes instantly reminded people of one word-Little Demon!

“Come here!” Princess Gaoyang proudly tilted her cherry red lips, and her right index finger hooked towards Qin Mubai.

“Do you still want to beat me up? … The princess brought people to beat up her subjects. Isn’t this too sensational?” Qin Mubai didn’t feel the slightest bit nervous or scared. He just felt that it was ridiculous enough, which made him unable to laugh or cry.

A few steps forward, Qin Mubai stopped and cupped his hands. “What’s the matter with the princess?”

The ten or so palace maids and eunuchs really rushed out like saddles, surrounding Qin Mubai at the core. Princess Gaoyang clapped her hands and laughed proudly, “It’s very simple. I’ll make you–let go, man!”

“I’m sorry, Princess. This humble position is hard to follow.” Qin Mubai’s answer was very simple. He completely ignored the people around him and said with a smile, “Military orders are like a mountain. Prisoners captured here cannot be released without trial and conviction.”

“I knew you would say that.” Princess Gaoyang wasn’t angry this time, instead giggling a few times.

Qin Mubai was so happy that she couldn’t help but shake her head, “Little bitch, this smile is really full of demonic energy!”

“Beat him!” Princess Gaoyang suddenly snorted coldly, “No one has ever dared to treat me like this! Give him a hard lesson!”
