Appointing a General as a Concubine: Where Can General Xiao Escape?

Chapter 194 I love you

"Look, look, what beautiful fireworks! And that one, that one is beautiful too!"

Xiao Mo turned her head and looked at him excitedly, then pointed to another place excitedly.

"Wow, there's a lion dance over there! Ah! And there's a pair of dragons playing with a pearl over there, Ah Xiu, did you see that?"

She stamped her feet and jumped lightly in his arms, excited as if she had seen something she had never seen before.

In fact, she had seen all these on the streets at the foot of Qinshan Mountain, but it was not as lively as the imperial city.

Qi Minxiu tilted his head lovingly to look at her profile, and chuckled softly, "I saw it."

Xiao Mo was completely unaware of how seductive her smile was, and she was even less aware of the pair of aggressive eyes next to her.

He was staring at her face inch by inch.

She stared at the various acrobatics downstairs with sparkling eyes, taking a bite of the uneaten candied haws in her hand from time to time.

Just when she was watching intently, Qi Minxiu suddenly turned her body around.

Xiao Mo blinked her deer eyes, met his deep gaze, and handed the candied haws to his mouth.

"Want to eat this?"

Qi Minxiu reached out and took the candied haws that was blocking the way between them, raised his eyebrows and shook his head: "I don't want to eat it."

"Then why did you ask me to turn around?" Xiao Mo stared at him in confusion.

He smiled and leaned close to her ear, breathing gently, and said something that made her feel hot all over and her face flushed to her ears.

Xiao Mo bit her lip and glared at him in shame and anger: "You dirty scoundrel!"

Qi Minxiu laughed out loud and held her in his arms with a look of enjoyment.

"I'll be your husband soon, and you're so embarrassed by words like that. After we get married, you'll be too embarrassed to see anyone."

Xiao Mo pushed him away angrily and was about to scold him, but he held her hands tightly and turned her body back.

"Okay, stop making trouble and just watch the fun."

They were standing together in this position, and coupled with Qi Minxiu's words just now, she immediately felt that something was wrong with his body.

Xiao Mo stood stiffly, not daring to move, causing the people behind her to burst out laughing.

She frowned and glanced at him: "You!"

"Amo." Qi Minxiu ignored her slight anger, tightened his arms, put his head on her shoulder, and called her gently.

She paused for what she was about to say, slowly calmed down her anger, and after a moment, she replied to him in the same tone: "I'm here."

Qi Minxiu looked into the distance with unfocused eyes and put his head close to Xiao Mo's neck.

"Amo, you know what? Before my leg healed, I couldn't even imagine such a warm and romantic moment like this."

"Everyone has the right to pursue happiness, and you are a very successful example."

Xiao Mo did not say any insincere or flattering words, but Qi Minxiu felt very comfortable hearing them.

He tightened his forearms again and held her tightly.

"I don't know if it's because our relationship is going too smoothly, but every time I feel like I'm dreaming."

He has never liked another woman since he was a child, so he doesn't know what it's like to be in love with someone.

Xiao Mo tilted her head slightly, frowning slightly. This was clearly a sign of insecurity.

But she asked herself, since they confirmed their feelings, she has never had any contact with other men.

So why does he feel this way?

"Ah Xiu." Xiao Mo thought for a long time and didn't know how to comfort him, so she could only call him affectionately.

Qi Minxiu had never heard such a sound from her mouth, and he couldn't help but raise his eyebrows.

Just as he was about to tease her, she said something in a serious tone that was enough to make him take off on the spot with joy.

"Ash, I love you."

He stared at her blankly for a moment, his mood changing from happiness to uncontrollable excitement.

He didn't ask her if it was true, but replied to her in a loving tone: "Amo, I love you too."

This was the first time Xiao Mo said she loved him after they had been in love for so long.

He was very moved and so happy that his heart seemed to be jumping out of his chest.

Xiao Mo felt the heartbeat coming from her back and couldn't help but curl the corners of her mouth.

In fact, Qi Minxiu was not the only one who felt that this moment was like a dream. It was the same for her, who was in love for the first time.

In the palace, after the dinner, Qi Yue went to Yongyang Palace.

Concubine Liang advised him to go out of the palace to relax, but he said it was too noisy and didn't want to go.

Ever since he broke up with Xiao Mo, he seemed like a different person.

Although he still devoted himself to handling state affairs as before, people around him could notice that he was different.

In the past, let alone this kind of festival, even a small Lantern Festival would have him going out to play all night.

This sudden "good behavior" actually scared her a little.

Concubine Liang only tried to persuade Qi Yue with a few words, which made Qi Yue very annoyed. He simply lied that he had important matters to deal with in the Eastern Palace and took the opportunity to slip away.

In fact, he was not lying, because the Eastern Palace did have some unfinished business.

After he left, Concubine Liang finally took off the disguise on her face and instantly looked tired.

She closed her eyes and leaned on the chaise longue without giving any instructions. The palace maid beside her knelt beside her and helped her massage her legs.

"Don't worry, Your Majesty. It's a good thing that His Royal Highness is prioritizing state affairs. This way, no one can shake his status."

Concubine Liang opened her eyes, looked at her, and quickly closed them again.

"What do you know? He's been hurt emotionally, and the pent-up energy has been stuck in his heart for a long time, unable to be released. If this continues, his body will definitely be damaged."

"Your Highness, don't you know that this is a harmful thing?"

"So what if I know? I can't control my emotions. I just hope he doesn't feel depressed for too long."

Seeing that Concubine Liang was in a low mood because of Qi Yue's matter, the palace maid couldn't find any good words to comfort her and could only change the subject.

"Your Majesty, did the Emperor listen to what you said at the banquet?"

Concubine Liang's half-drowsy eyes instantly perked up, she sat up straight and sneered, "The emperor is suspicious, he must have heard it."

The maid thought about it for a moment and looked worried.

"Your Majesty, Qin Shan is Xiao Mo's master, and he has extraordinary abilities. If he really returns to the court and becomes an official, I'm afraid it won't be beneficial to us."

"Hmph." Concubine Liang pursed her lips, a hint of disdain flashing in her eyes: "Who said I really want him to come back?"

The palace maid didn't understand what she meant and looked at her in confusion.

Concubine Liang lowered her eyes and looked at her: "He doesn't like the intrigue in the court, so there is a high probability that he will disobey the order. The consequence of disobeying the order is beheading.

But if he really intends to come back for Xiao Mo, then we must kill him before he returns."

In fact, she had planned this matter a long time ago, but she only found the opportunity to do it when Xiao Mo returned to Qinshan some time ago.

This time, she must make good use of this move to defeat either Xiao Mo or Qi Minxiu.
