Love Affairs in Chang'an - Chapter 89

Chapter 89 Little Demon’s Tears
Qin Mubai did not see Princess Gao Yang’s men when he arrived at the entrance of the barracks. Ask the camp guard. The guard said that the princess showed her face and left just now, saying, “Your general knows where I am.”

Qin Mubai muttered in her heart, “No, it’s not like the little devil’s habitual style of” stubbornly fighting “or” not stopping until it reaches its goal “, as if I” will definitely “go to the Imperial Water Bridge to find her if I’m sure of it.” She even said that she would die if I didn’t come … It seems that something must have happened, otherwise she wouldn’t have suddenly become so abnormal.

After some thought, Qin Mubai decided to take a look.

Beside the Imperial Bridge, Princess Gao Yang sat on a stone stool as usual when she was learning the zither. She held her cheek with one hand and stared blankly at the glowing river water. Bai Chi bit her lips. Her usually arrogant and mischievous expression was replaced by melancholy and sadness. She sat motionless like a statue.

When Qin Mubai walked over and saw her like this, he couldn’t help but feel a little surprised. How could this be the normally energetic and eccentric little devil? She was clearly like a little bitch who had just lost her love!

“Princess, I’m here.” Qin Mubai walked to her side and whispered, “What’s wrong with you?”

Princess Gao Yang did not say anything. She still stared blankly at the surface of the river. The tears in her eyes could not help but roll down from her fair face to her cheeks. Threads of tears dripped down her cheeks.

Qin Mubai raised her eyebrows in surprise. She bent down and patted her shoulder. She said softly, “What’s so serious that it made you cry? Don’t cry. Tell me, what’s going on?”

“Wu …!” Princess Gaoyang’s suppressed emotions were stimulated by Qin Mubai’s gentle words, and she immediately burst into tears. She turned around and hugged him in Qin Mubai’s arms, crying profusely.

“Alright, alright. It’s alright now. If you cry, it’s alright.” Qin Mubai could only pat him on the shoulder because he didn’t know why or what to say to persuade her.

Princess Gao Yang’s body shrugged and cried, only venting her grievances from her chest. After a long time, her emotions finally calmed down a little, so she let go of Qin Mubai. She turned around awkwardly and faced him with her back, wiping her tears with her sleeves.

Qin Mubai sat down on the stone bench behind her, not in a hurry to speak. He sat quietly with her like this. He thought to himself that the people and things that could cause Princess Gaoyang such pain must have something to do with the Emperor. Since it was a royal family matter, why would he take the initiative to ask about interfering too much? She would like to say, then say, as her friend as a listener is necessary, can help as much as possible to help; If she was unwilling to say it, she would never ask.

After a long time, Princess Gaoyang finally calmed down, but she still carried Qin Mubai behind her back and muttered to herself, “Marry me.”

Her tone was neither questioning nor sighing, but as calm as saying something that had nothing to do with her.

“What are you talking about?” Qin Mubai simply doubted his ears.

“I say, marry me!” Princess Gaoyang turned around and stared straight into Qin Mubai’s eyes. Her eyes and expression were firm and stirring.

“This! … Why did you suddenly say this?” Qin Mubai furrowed his brows and quickly calculated, Judging from Princess Gaoyang’s reaction just now, she must have been wronged by the Emperor. Otherwise, there wouldn’t be anything else that could make her so excited and sad. And now she suddenly said she was going to marry me–the Emperor must have married her out of nowhere, and to a man she disliked!

Could it be that Li Shimin wanted to marry Princess Gaoyang to Fang Yiai, just like in history? !

“Don’t talk about him around, and don’t ask too much–I told you to marry me, did you hear me?” Princess Gaoyang suddenly stood up excitedly and waved her arms, shouting hysterically.

“Princess, don’t get excited!” Qin Mubai hurriedly stood up and grabbed her shoulders. “What’s there to explain slowly? There’s no problem that can’t be solved. If you’re so excited and impulsive, it’ll only make things worse!”

“I don’t care! I won’t marry that useless playboy even if I’m beaten to death!” Princess Gaoyang bit her lips and struggled to shake off Qin Mubai’s hands. She suddenly waved her hand and pointed at Qin Mubai. “Are you a man? I told you to marry me, but you refused to say anything. Don’t tell me that I, Li Ling, am not worthy of you?”

Sure enough! Qin Mubai’s heart skipped a beat. Indeed, the Emperor was going to betroth Princess Gaoyang. Moreover, this marriage made Princess Gaoyang feel extremely disgusted!

“That’s not what I meant at all. The princess is so beautiful that she can match up to a hundred Qin Mubai.” Qin Mubai said, “But the main question is obviously not whether I am willing to marry you. Even if I am willing, can I marry you? At the very least, His Majesty the Emperor will not agree, right?”

“Don’t mention him!” Princess Gao Yang was even more excited. She covered her ears and shouted, “He doesn’t like me anymore. He doesn’t want me anymore! He wants to reward me as an item. He is no longer my father!”

‘”Wuwuwu” After Princess Gao Yang finished shouting these words, she suddenly sat down on the ground and cried bitterly.

Qin Mubai shook his head and sighed. It seemed that Princess Gaoyang had indeed been greatly stimulated by the Emperor. For so many years, her father had always been her most respected and beloved person. Li Shimin had indeed always doted on her very much. This had also become her greatest capital and spiritual pillar.

But now, the one-brown marriage had destroyed all of this. The current Princess Gaoyang must have the feeling of being abandoned by Li Shimin, thinking that she had nothing left. The backing and pillars that she used to be proud of collapsed in an instant … This blow was far greater than letting her marry a man she did not love. Thus, she rebelled. She would rather die than marry the person her father had appointed for her to fight and vent her anger. In fact, in the end, she still hoped that she could win back Li Shimin’s father’s love and take back everything that she had once possessed.

This little girl might have a good impression of me, but she definitely wouldn’t have developed to the point where she wouldn’t marry someone else. In fact, she was still very young now, and even if she matured early, it was at most the beginning of love. How could she think of discussing marriage on her own initiative? Therefore, what she said about wanting me to marry her was just a cover and a weapon to stimulate and retaliate against Li Shimin. But … she dragged me into the water like this, isn’t she too “destructive and tireless”? Didn’t she push me, Qin Mubai, onto the muzzle of the Emperor’s gun?

After thinking about this, Qin Mubai squatted beside the crying Princess Gaoyang and patted her shoulder, saying, “Princess, things are not as bad as you think. Perhaps there is still room for recovery.”

“Is there?” When Princess Gao Yang heard this, she immediately became spirited. She released her hands that were covering her face and turned to look at Qin Mubai. Her eyes were bright red, and the rouge powder on her face was drenched in tears.

“Let’s see, what are you crying about?” Qin Mubai smiled and handed him a handkerchief. “Wipe it clean. Sit down. Let’s talk slowly and come up with a plan. It’s definitely not the best way for you to act recklessly against His Majesty. You’re always so smart and understand the Emperor’s thoughts. Why are you suddenly confused?”

Qin Mubai’s words were too useful to Princess Gaoyang. She took the handkerchief and stood up. Turning around, she wiped her face and pointed at the stone stool. “Then sit down and talk! I say, Fourth Brother, you have the most stupid ideas. Quickly think of a way for me!”

“Haha, I obey, Your Highness!” Qin Mubai smiled and sat down beside her. She pretended to be nervous and looked around. She whispered, “It’s a matter of the royal family. I, an outsider, have no right to interfere. This is a taboo matter. Therefore, you must keep it a secret!”

“Don’t worry!” When Princess Gaoyang saw his thieving appearance, she immediately broke into laughter, “Am I the kind of person who betrays a friend? Really!”

“The princess has always valued honesty and righteousness as her friend. Everyone knows this, haha!” Qin Mubai kissed her ass and made Princess Gao Yang laugh again.

“Stop spouting nonsense. I hate it. It makes me cry and laugh!” Princess Gaoyang complained awkwardly and wiped her eyelids with her handkerchief.

“Alright, that’s enough nonsense. Tell me, how did the Emperor plan to arrange your marriage?” Qin Mubai asked.

Princess Gao Yang bit her lips and told Qin Mubai about the emperor’s plan to marry her to Fang Yiai.

“Sure enough … it’s exactly the same as in history!” Qin Mubai sighed in his heart, “Could it be that this is Princess Gaoyang’s destiny that cannot be changed?”

“Hey, I’m done. Help me think of a way!” Princess Gaoyang said anxiously, “I won’t marry that Fang Er even if I’m beaten to death!” I’ve seen that fellow before at Third Brother Wei King’s mansion. He was so stunned that he was simply a barbarian. All he knew was riding horses, shooting arrows, hunting, drinking, and even hanging out with some young masters to form a gang all day long, wandering around, eating, drinking, and gambling. I’ve only seen him once before and I hate him so much. “How am I supposed to marry such a person … How am I supposed to live in the future?”

“That’s right … I saw that Fang Yiai when I was at the Wei Palace’s Qushui Swimming Cup. He said that he was waiting to marry the princess now, and that he would be prosperous and carefree for the rest of his life. Tsk tsk, he’s a man with great ambitions!” Qin Mubai shook her head.

“You’re still ridiculing me at this time?” Princess Gaoyang glared at Qin Mubai angrily. “Everyone in Chang’an knows that the Second Young Master of the Fang Clan is a useless trash, but his father ignored him. In order to show his favor to Fang Xuanling, he would treat me as an item and reward them. “He also doesn’t think about how his daughter will live in the future. Can he live a good life with someone like Fang Yiai?”

“Alright, alright, calm down. Just explain everything clearly. Don’t talk about the Emperor. We’ll just think of a way.” Qin Mubai rolled her eyes and thought.
