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

Chapter 188 Going Back to See Master

In the afternoon, Xiao Mo returned to the Prime Minister's Mansion and felt that the atmosphere was a little strange as soon as she entered the door.

She pulled a maid over to ask, only to find out that Xiao Xiang had committed suicide by cutting her wrists.

When she heard the news, she didn't know what to feel.

It’s not that I feel heartbroken, because they really don’t have much feelings for each other, but it’s not the same to say that they don’t care at all, after all, they have been together for so long, no matter good or bad.

Xiao Mo subconsciously frowned, sighed deeply, and returned to Suqiyuan with a heavy heart.

The next day, she went to the East Army Camp early.

I had thought Yang Zerui would come today, so I arrived half an hour earlier, but when I got there, he was already waiting there.

Xiao Mo held her forehead and lowered her head, then walked past him with an awkward smile: "Follow me."

Yang Zerui followed her obediently and toured the entire military camp under her guidance.

Seeing how respectful the soldiers were to her, his admiration for her increased.

Since ancient times, there have been very few precedents of women serving as generals. In the past, he had only seen it in books. Now, when he saw Xiao Mo, he realized that women can be just as handsome as men.

Yang Zerui's days in the military camp gave Xiao Mo many surprises.

He is not only good at martial arts, but also quite skilled in riding and shooting. I just don't know how he performs on the battlefield.

Xiao Mo often went to the palace to report his situation to the emperor. Occasionally, after going to the emperor's palace, she would also go to Princess Zhaoning's palace.

In her free time, Princess Zhaoning would disguise herself as a man and go to the East Military Camp to visit Yang Zerui.

As an idle prince, Qi Minxiu would go to the military camp when he had no official duties.

The relationship between the four of them quickly warmed up and they became as close as brothers and sisters.

The days passed one after another in a pleasant and happy manner, and in the blink of an eye it was the 20th day of the twelfth lunar month.

That day, after dinner, Xiao Mo and Qi Minxiu stood outside the pavilion on the building to admire the moon.

The wind in deep winter is freezing cold at any blow.

Qi Minxiu stood behind Xiao Mo, put his arms around her waist, rested his chin on her shoulder, and breathed lightly.

"Amo, are you cold? If you are, let's go inside. There's charcoal in the house, so it'll be warmer."

Xiao Mo placed her hands on the big hand on her waist and shook her head: "It's not cold. The moon is so big and round today. Let's look at it for a while."

Qi Minxiu was wearing a thick and heavy black fox fur coat. Xiao Mo was wrapped in his arms, so she naturally wouldn't feel cold.

He tilted his head, touched her earlobe lightly with his cool lips, and laughed muffledly: "It's really tormenting to hold you to sleep every day but not be able to do anything."

Xiao Mo closed her eyes and tilted her head to respond to his kiss: "The seventeenth day of the first lunar month is our wedding date. If you can't bear it, then I will..."

"No, it's only a month. I can bear it. I want to have a complete you on our wedding night."

Qi Minxiu interrupted her sullenly, suddenly raised his head and kissed her heavily on the cheek: "I have already started preparing for the wedding."

He reached out and touched her cheek, sighing, "Amo, I feel so happy."

Xiao Mo pursed her lips, looked at the full moon in the sky, and a faint smile appeared on the corner of her mouth: "Me too."

She turned around to face him, snuggled in his arms, and enjoyed the warm moment.

"Ah Xiu, I want to go back to Qinshan before the Spring Festival."

After the two hugged each other tightly for a while, Xiao Mo raised her head and looked at Qi Minxiu with her clear and bright eyes.

Qi Minxiu turned his head and thought for a moment, then smiled and nodded: "Ten days should be enough, I'll go with you."

"Well, Master doesn't know about us yet. This time I go there just in time to tell him the good news." Xiao Mo smiled happily.

"Just knowing is not enough, he must be present at our wedding."

Qi Minxiu tightened his grip and pulled the fox fur closer to her.

Xiao Mo sighed softly, looked at the night sky and fell into memories.

"Every year before I came back, I spent the Spring Festival with my master and others in Qinshan.

But in the past few years since I came back, I haven't been back to celebrate the holidays once.

Master has raised me for eighteen years, and his kindness is greater than that of my biological parents. I should go back to visit him more often."

As she spoke, she lowered her eyes dejectedly.

Qi Minxiu pinched her nose bridge and rubbed her face lovingly.

"I promise you, we will go back to Qinshan to see him when we have time. If he is willing, we can also take him back to live in the palace."

Xiao Mo's crystal clear eyes looked at him affectionately: "Thank you, Ah Xiu."

Qi Minxiu lowered his head and looked into her eyes. When their eyes met, the atmosphere around them was extremely ambiguous.

They slowly approached each other, closed their eyes in tacit understanding, and gently pressed their lips together.

The moment their soft lips touched, Qi Minxiu's heart trembled slightly, and he unconsciously increased the strength and deepened the kiss.

Because Xiao Mo is no longer an idle person, she can no longer leave for a short period of time as she did before.

She went to the palace to meet the emperor. When the emperor heard about her and Nie Changyuan, he was deeply moved by her filial piety and agreed.

Qi Minxiu originally wanted to follow quietly, but after being persuaded by Xiao Mo, he went to greet the emperor.

After leaving the palace, Qi Minxiu went back to the prince's mansion to prepare the carriage and things needed for the journey.

Xiao Mo returned to the Prime Minister's Mansion. After all, she would be away for about ten days, so she had to tell Murong Shu and Xiao Wenbo.

On top of Qinshan Mountain, Nie Changyuan sat under a plum tree, drinking hot tea and admiring the snow.

Just as I was sighing in my heart that Xiao Mo loved snowy days the most, I heard a familiar voice.

"Master!"

He looked up and saw Xiao Mo and Qi Minzheng striding towards him from afar.

He rubbed his eyes in disbelief and glanced down at his unfinished tea, wondering if he was drunk from the tea?!

"Master!" Xiao Mo trotted to his side and threw herself into his arms before he could react.

This real touch caught Nie Changyuan off guard. After he came to his senses, he hugged the person in his arms tightly, and his eyes instantly became moist.

Qi Minxiu stood aside with his luggage, wanting to say hello but not wanting to ruin the atmosphere.

Xiao Mo coquettishly nuzzled into Nie Changyuan's arms, then raised her head and looked at him happily, "Master."

"The Spring Festival is coming soon. Why are you coming back to see me now? I'm fine. You have your own things to do. Just take care of yourself and don't worry about me."

Nie Changyuan stroked her long hair as he did before, trying hard to suppress the moisture around his eyes, and his words were a little incoherent.

Hearing him say this, Xiao Mo sat up from his arms unhappily, pouting and saying, "Don't you want me to come back to see you?"

Nie Changyuan raised the corner of his mouth and waved his hand quickly: "How could that be? This is your home. You can come back anytime you want."

After saying that, he looked at Qi Minxiu who had been waiting quietly beside him: "Minxiu is here too, come and sit down."

Qi Minxiu smiled at him faintly, put down his things and sat next to Xiao Mo.
