Love Affairs in Chang'an - Chapter 72

Chapter 72 Trouble Upper Body
In the evening, Qin Mubai arrived at the Imperial Bridge as promised.

Princess Gaoyang was indeed waiting here. Seeing Qin Mubai, a smile appeared on her somewhat childish face.

In the past, Qin Mubai had only seen Princess Gaoyang smile strangely, craftily, maliciously, and strangely. However, he had never seen her smile so innocently and shyly like today.

For a moment, Qin Mubai was really not used to it.

“Cough … Your Highness, this lowly position is here.”

“Please take a seat!” Princess Gaoyang smiled and pointed at a stone table and chair near the river in the willow forest. “I’ve already prepared it!”

“That’s good too.” Qin Mubai walked over and discovered that this stone table had just been moved over. There were only two seats. The table was already filled with exquisite Imperial Cuisine desserts and mellow wine. The two handmaidens each held an antique pipa and stood beside them. The other palace maidservants and eunuchs were actually far away from each other to serve them.

Qin Mubai smiled and took the pipa from one of the maids and sat down calmly, “Let’s begin!”

“Why are you in such a hurry? You must have not eaten dinner yet, right? Have some first. I don’t want anyone to say that I abused my teacher.” Princess Gaoyang sat opposite Qin Mubai and looked at Qin Mubai with her hands on her cheeks. She said with a smile on her face.

“Alright.” Qin Mubai casually ate two snacks and said, “Can we start now?”

“Not good!” Princess Gaoyang held her cheeks with one hand and frowned with displeasure. She reached out a small hand that was as smooth as white jade and picked up a piece of deer breast and handed it to Qin Mubai. “You are a grown man, a heroic general. How can you only eat so little? Come and eat a piece of deer breast to make up for it.”

Qin Mubai frowned, “Princess, you should put it down. I’ll do it myself.”

“No, I want you to eat!” Princess Gao Yang stubbornly raised her chopsticks and looked at Qin Mubai with an expression of reluctance.

“Good, good, good. I’ll eat.” Qin Mubai helplessly smiled bitterly and bit the deer breast into his mouth, swallowing it like a jujube.

“I’m full, really full-let’s begin playing the pipa!”

“Hehe!” The two maids next to him covered their mouths and laughed.

“What are you laughing at? Don’t laugh! You really owe me a beating!” Princess Gaoyang’s face instantly flushed red and she glared at us anxiously, “Turn around and don’t stare at us!”

“Yes, Your Highness.” The two maids obediently turned around.

Qin Mubai ignored these things and began to teach her skills. “Your Highness, please take a good look. Actually, there is nothing special about playing the pipa for lowly positions. It is just that the way you play it is different from ordinary ones. You play it directly with your hands-so, I only need to teach you how to do it.”

“Hehe, I didn’t expect that you, a general, would be different from those five big and thick military academies. Your fingers are so delicate and delicate. Besides being able to use a sword, you can also play an excellent pipa. If I hadn’t heard of you personally, I wouldn’t believe those rumors!” Princess Gaoyang didn’t even look at Qin Mubai’s fingers on the string. Instead, she stared straight at Qin Mubai’s face.

Qin Mubai awkwardly grinned, “Your Highness, do you still want me to teach you the lute finger techniques?”

“Yes, of course!” Princess Gaoyang chuckled. She picked up the pipa and hugged it awkwardly. Then, she randomly pressed her fingers on the string and pulled out a few strange notes. “Is that so?” She asked.

‘”Whoosh” Qin Mubai heaved a long sigh of relief and said patiently, “Your fingers are all wrong-are you playing the pipa or cultivating the Nine Yin White Bone Claw?”

“What is the Nine Yin White Bone Claw?” Princess Gaoyang blinked her intelligent eyes and asked curiously.

“… Pretend I didn’t say anything.” Qin Mubai corrected the color and said, “The correct finger technique should be like this …”

Thus, the demonstrations began over and over again.

“What? Why is it so difficult!” Princess Gaoyang followed and learned a few times, but she was still awkward. She snorted unhappily, “Come over here and hold my hand to teach me.”

“Hehe” The two palace maids who turned around laughed again.

“Dead servant, take ten steps! Cover your ears!” Princess Gao Yang’s face turned even redder as she angrily shouted in a low voice.

“Yes, Your Highness.” The two maids did as they were told. In the night willow forest, their figures were almost invisible now.

“Teacher, hurry up and teach me finger techniques! I’m very stupid. If you don’t teach me with your hands, how can I possibly learn it!” Princess Gaoyang snorted coquettishly.

Right now, it was as if she was a different person. The fierce little devil from before instantly looked like a small bird depending on the person. However, when Qin Mubai saw her ambiguous and seductive eyes, he still knew that she was still the weird little witch. However, she doesn’t think of me as an enemy now. Instead, she might think of me as … a man of some other nature.

Forget it, don’t think too much. I-I only teach pipa, not anything else.

Thus, Qin Mubai walked over and bent down behind her. He stretched out his hands to hold her small hands and taught her how to finger.

At this time, Qin Mubai could clearly feel that the little witch’s body trembled slightly, and her fingers became a little stiff.

“Relax a little. Tighten your fingers like this. How can I teach you how to do it?”

“Oh, oh!” Princess Gaoyang’s face turned even redder.

With great difficulty, Qin Mubai finally pressed her fingers down and formed the correct shape of her fingers.

“That’s it. Do you understand?”

“I seem to understand a little!” Princess Gaoyang chuckled, “But you have to change your fingers when pushing, pulling, twisting, etc. It’s so complicated! Teach me one by one!”

“Alright.” Qin Mubai did not stop, he simply held her hand and slowly taught her how to play the song “Mountains and Rivers”.

The melody was intermittent, and Princess Gaoyang’s heart was clearly not wilting. Her fingers did not follow Qin Mubai at all. After teaching for a long time, Qin Mubai stood up and heaved a sigh of relief, “Let’s call it a day. If the princess has time, please familiarize yourself with the practice. I won’t be able to learn it for a while. I won’t teach you too much.”

“Are you leaving?” Princess Gaoyang hurriedly stood up and turned around. She looked at him with some disappointment, “Why are you in such a hurry? … Look, there’s still a lot of wine to eat. What a waste! Father often taught us to be frugal. I also know that you must not be full. The food in the army is not good-you should eat more before leaving!”

“No, please take your leave.” Qin Mubai cupped his hands and turned around to leave.

“No, don’t go!” Princess Gaoyang suddenly jumped up and stretched out her arms to block Qin Mubai’s path.

“Your Highness, if you do this, I won’t come back in the future.” Qin Mubai said calmly.

Princess Gaoyang was slightly stunned. She slowly put down her arm and nodded, “Alright then, I’ll let you go … but can you take this plate of deer breast back and eat it?”

“… Alright!” Helplessly, Qin Mubai had no choice but to agree. He reached out and picked up the plate of deer breast and smiled, “Thank you, Your Highness, for your reward. I bid you farewell.”

“Alright, I won’t send you off.” Princess Gaoyang whispered.

Qin Mubai strode away.

Princess Gaoyang sat on the stone bench and watched Qin Mubai disappear from her sight. She scolded, “Bandit Military Academy, stinking man … Am I really that annoying?”

The two palace maids walked over and glanced at each other from afar, saying, “Your Highness, why did you let him leave like this?”

“What can we do if we don’t let him go? That guy treats me like a ferocious beast … Hey, what does it have to do with you guys?” Princess Gaoyang was momentarily speechless as she blushed and scolded angrily.

“Oh, my servant is too busy. Please forgive me … Hehe!”

“Still laughing, begging for a beating!”

…

Qin Mubai sat in his room, holding a piece of deer breast in a daze.

It wasn’t that Qin Mubai hadn’t experienced such a thing before-the young girl had just begun to secretly make eye contact with him, and she had even posted a copy to chase after him. He had enjoyed this kind of feeling quite a while ago. But now, his mood couldn’t get any better.

“Strange. When did I show off and seduce her in front of her? Remember, we only fought before, and we almost lost our lives, right?” Qin Mubai blinked her eyes blankly. “Could it be that this girl is a little psychopathic? The more she compliments her, the more she doesn’t like her. I always go against her like this, and even bully her to attack her. Instead, her heart is stirring?”

What a sin! Whoever I offend, I offend Princess Gaoyang! This guy’s personality is paranoid and he dares to do anything. If things continue to develop according to this trend, even if I “guard my body like jade”, who knows when the fire will break out when the woman chases after the man’s compartment gauze!

No, I must nip it in the bud–tomorrow, I’ll go ask the emperor for leave, go back to rest, and cool her down for a while!

That night, when Qin Mubai fell asleep, he suddenly heard someone outside the door say, “Is General Qin asleep?”

Normally, no one would disturb Qin Mubai at such a time. When he heard that, it was Pang Fei. This brat had just taken a few days off and had probably just returned to the barracks.

“Pang Fei, is there something that you insist on waking me up at this time?”

“General … I have something important to report.”

“Then come in.” Qin Mubai was still lying there, and when he saw Pang Fei enter, he asked, “What’s the big deal?”

Pang Ji closed the door and knelt down in front of Qin Mubai’s bed. He whispered in his ear, “Master, something happened to Number One Under Heaven’s Wine.”

“What is it?” Qin Mubai’s heart skipped a beat as he asked.

“Master, do you still remember the ‘Three Fairies’?” Pang Fei said, “During this disciple’s vacation, I was ordered by my master to go to the number one wine in the world to visit my future master’s mother. However, I heard that the Han King forcibly invited the Third Fairy to perform in his mansion, and even after six or seven days, he still hasn’t let anyone come back.”

Qin Mubai suddenly sat up and said, “Forcibly invite him over. Is there such a thing?”

“Not only that … Next, I hope that Master won’t be too angry when he hears this.” Pang Fei said with a bit of fear.

“Hesitate! If you have fart, hurry up and let it go!”

“Hanwang said that if he wanted to send the Third Fairy back, there was nothing he couldn’t do, then he had to … Master Niang personally go and replace her!”

“What?!”
