Love Affairs in Chang'an - Chapter 73

Chapter 73 The Little Demon’s Wonderful Plan
Seeing Qin Mubai’s anger leap up, Pang Fei panicked, “Master, keep your voice down. This matter shouldn’t be publicized. This is in the Imperial Palace!”

“I know.” Qin Mubai’s brows furrowed as he slowly sat down and said, “Tell me what happened in detail.”

“Yes.” Pang Fei said.

It turned out that the number one wine in the world was becoming more and more famous, attracting countless high-ranking officials and scholars to gather here, as if it had become a scenic spot in Chang’an. Apart from pipa music, royal wine and the name of the Third Fairy, the name of Wu Meiniang also spread throughout Chang’an.

Coupled with the story of the emperor preparing to accept Wu Meiniang as his concubine and Qin Mubai’s “Horizontal Saber Stealing Love”, Wu Meiniang became even more mysterious and legendary.

This way, Wu Meiniang would become a beautiful flower. It was impossible not to attract a group of wild bees and butterflies to disturb her. However, Wu Meiniang did not usually stay in the number one wine in the world anymore. Ordinary romantic elegant guests and prodigal disciples could only stay in their hearts at most. No one dared to do anything out of line with her. Naturally, Qin Shubao and Qin Mubai were the deterrents, and the fact that Wu Meiniang was involved in a number of connections was also an important reason. For example, King Wei, Li Tai, intentionally or unintentionally protected her, and King Wu, Li Ke, needless to say, he was originally the matchmaker between Wu Meiniang and Qin Mubai, and everyone knew about him.

Thus, although Wu Meiniang had always faced the covetousness of the wolves, she had never been in danger.

But recently, Han King Li Yuanchang, this “strange wolf” appeared.

Han King Li Yuanchang was the seventh son of the high ancestor Li Yuan, the half-brother of Emperor Li Shimin. He was only around twenty years old this year, and was a well-known romantic prince’s playboy.

Li Yuanchang had been brought up by Li Yuan in the harem since he was young, and he was quite spoiled, so he had always relied on his favor to be arrogant. Apart from Li Shimin, it was as if no one else cared about him. After Li Shimin ascended to the throne, out of some guilt towards his father, Li Yuan had no choice but to indulge in this younger brother that his father doted on. He had always kept one eye open and one eye closed.

In this way, Chang’an City’s greatest “dandy prince” was born. It was said that Li Yuanchang was quite talented. He was most skilled in calligraphy and horse painting, and was highly respected as an elegant scholar. In addition, his attainments in “playing” were extraordinary. Whether it was flying eagles, running dogs, Cuju gambling or playing chess pop music, there was nothing he was not proficient in.

In addition, he was especially proficient in … playing with women, and lecherous, almost everyone in Chang’an knew about it.

‘”I don’t know why Hanwang suddenly took a fancy to Master Niang …” He was cunning enough not to directly harass Master Niang. Instead, he’invited’ the Third Fairy from the number one wine in the world. The waiters in the shop naturally didn’t dare to disobey Hanwang. Afterwards, Hanwang kept the Third Fairy for a long time, forcing Master Niang to personally appear. ” Pang Fei said, “Master, you know that Li Yuanchang is the younger brother of the emperor, the royal uncle of King Wei and King Wu, and he has a very close personal relationship with the Crown Prince … This time, even King Wei and King Wu can’t help him, let alone the others. Therefore, the Third Fairy is still detained in the Han Palace, and Mistress doesn’t know what to do.”

“I see. You go out first.” Qin Mubai waved his hand and Pang Fei obediently retreated.

“Li Yuanchang, I’ve never seen you provoking me in my life. You want to mess with my Qin Mubai’s woman? Isn’t this a blatant call to give me a cuckold? You bastard!” Just as Pang Fei left, Qin Mubai smashed his fist into the bed, venting the anger in his chest.

After a while, he calmed down and thought patiently.

In terms of status, only Li Shimin could control Li Yuanchang in Chang’an City. However, the current situation is that Li Yuanchang is Li Shimin’s younger brother, and I am only a subordinate … Moreover, Wu Meiniang’s identity is very sensitive. If I file a lawsuit against Li Shimin, he will definitely be enraged!

Firstly, it was naturally because of Li Yuanchang’s absurd rudeness. Secondly, the protagonist of the incident is Wu Meiniang. This must have aroused his past worries. Perhaps Li Shimin would take this opportunity to “take revenge on the public” and fight 50 blows each. He might even anger me!

Moreover, Li Yuanchang has not acted too aggressively. So far, he has only “invited” the Third Fairy to the manor to perform. The words “let Wu Meiniang change people” have not become a reality, so it is not enough evidence for me to testify against him. If I did complain, it would be akin to stirring up a storm and making a big fuss. That would be a royal scandal. Not only would Wu Meiniang and I be drowned by the wind and rain, even Li Shimin’s face wouldn’t be able to rest. Even if he could get the Third Fairy back and let Wu Meiniang escape from Li Yuanchang’s claws, he would still set up Li Yuanchang as his mortal enemy and leave an embarrassing shadow in Li Shimin’s heart.

Therefore, he couldn’t go to Li Shimin’s place to complain unless he had to. He had to think of a roundabout way to silently eliminate this matter!

However, what could be done? After pondering for most of the night, Qin Mubai felt a little clear in her heart. She finally had a “brilliant plan” that wasn’t a brilliant one.

Ai, I actually have a chance to turn to that fellow for help! …

The next day, Qin Mubai went to the harem as usual. At noon, he arrived outside the Immortal Palace Hall and invited the palace maids to pass on a message, saying that he had specially requested to see Princess Gaoyang.

Princess Gao Yang was taking a nap. She heard that Qin Mubai had come to ask for help. She hurriedly got up to get dressed and invited him to the pavilion beside the Taiye Lake behind the palace hall to have tea and talk.

“Hehe, it’s rare for a teacher to take the initiative to look for me. Do you teach pipa at noon?” Princess Gaoyang hugged a pipa and asked with a smile.

Qin Mubai smiled and gave him a look, signaling for her to leave. After the palace maids and eunuchs left, Qin Mubai said, “Your Highness, it’s only natural that you won’t be able to play the pipa in the middle of the day, causing others to take a nap. I came here because I have something to ask of Your Highness.”

“Alright, tell me!” Princess Gaoyang seemed to be quite excited. She put down her pipa and looked at Qin Mubai seriously with an expression of anticipation.

“Before saying this request … I would like to ask, how is the relationship between His Highness the Princess and His Highness the Crown Prince …?” Qin Mubai asked.

“Eh, why did you suddenly ask this?” Princess Gaoyang blinked her big eyes a few times and didn’t break the casserole. She still replied, “Big brother Crown Prince … he always loves me very much. We have always been very close. Basically, he will agree to anything I ask him or ask him for a small favor. What, your matter has something to do with big brother Crown Prince?”

Qin Mubai felt a little happy in his heart, “That’s good!” Hanwang Li Yuanchang and Crown Prince Li Chengqian have always been inseparable. They are a typical pair of close friends. King Wei and King Wu feared that his status as the royal uncle would not be good, but it would be best if they could ask the Crown Prince for help. First, since the Crown Prince was the country’s ruler, even if Li Yuanchang was the royal uncle, he would still have to give him face. Moreover, the two of them had a very close personal relationship, so they wouldn’t have the face to make a big deal out of it.

“It’s like this.” Qin Mubai said, “I have an unmarried wife named Wu Meiniang who opened a family in Chang’an …”

“The number one wine in the world. It’s famous. I know.” Princess Gaoyang giggled and said, “Your wife, who has never been through the door before, I have heard of her like thunder!” I heard that when Father Emperor was about to accept her into the harem, he was defeated by a thieving brat like you. “You’re amazing, Qin Mubai. You actually managed to snatch away the woman that Father Emperor liked. Furthermore, Father Emperor still trusts you so much now, so he doesn’t have to worry about the brown matter anymore.”

“Cough, this is not the main topic. Don’t go too far.” Qin Mubai said, “I have encountered a small problem this time. It has something to do with Wu Meiniang, and … it has something to do with Hanwang.”

“Seventh Imperial Uncle? What did he do?” Princess Gaoyang’s eyes widened in shock. “Did he … provoke Wu Meiniang?”

Qin Mubai was slightly stunned. Looking at Princess Gao Yang’s expression and hearing what she said, one could imagine that this Han King, Li Yuanchang, was indeed not a good person.

Thus, Qin Mubai told Princess Gaoyang the whole story.

“It’s like this … I’m just a little lawless, even more troublesome than me.” Princess Gao Yang curled her lips and said, “You said for a long time that you wanted me to go to the Crown Prince’s place to persuade the Han King not to make things difficult for Wu Meiniang after letting the Third Fairy go?”

“Smart. That’s what I meant.” Qin Mubai smiled.

“Hehe” Princess Gaoyang instantly revealed a demonic smile. “Then you have to tell me first, what’s the benefit of me doing you a favor?”

“What does Your Highness want?” Since Qin Mubai had come, he was already prepared to be slaughtered.

“Well … I haven’t thought about it yet. I’ll tell you when I think of it!” Princess Gaoyang happily clapped her hands and stretched as if nothing had happened. “Don’t worry, I’ll take care of this!”

“You really can do it?” Qin Mubai was a little suspicious.

“What, you can’t trust me?” Princess Gaoyang smiled and said, “Don’t worry, there’s no need to work on such a trivial matter. I, Princess Gaoyang, will go and tell Seventh Imperial Uncle that he will let him go. I, Seventh Imperial Uncle, grew up in the harem. Even though I am now living outside the imperial palace, my personal relationship with me is not bad. I am confident, don’t worry!”

“Then remember not to move out of me.” Qin Mubai said, “I don’t want to make this matter big. No matter what, this matter is detrimental to the royal prestige. It’s not good to spread it out.”

“It also damages the reputation of a grown man like you, Qin Mubai. I know, hehe!” Princess Gaoyang smiled happily and said, “Don’t worry, I know. Do you think I’m really an idiot?” I only need to scare my Seventh Emperor Uncle for a moment before saying that there is an advisor secretly playing the role of Father Emperor. Father Emperor has already heard the news of this matter, so I specially came out of the palace to give him a message to let him go and stop messing around. Can my Seventh Emperor Uncle not let go of his people and stop fighting from now on? Hehe! ”

“… What a good plan.” Qin Mubai was speechless.

To him, such a tricky matter could be solved in just a few words … This was her innate advantage, and she couldn’t refuse to accept it!

“Hehe, remember, you owe me a favor-whenever I remember in the future, you must return my favor and do not deny it!”

“Alright.” Qin Mubai answered with a single breath, with a sense of righteousness as if he was looking at death as if he were returning home.
