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

Chapter 179 Princess’s Marriage

Although Xiao Mo acted as if nothing had happened after this incident, anyone with a discerning eye could tell that she was pretending.

Murong Shu knew very well that she was feeling bad, and if she wanted to really move on from this matter, she would need more time to pass.

So as long as Xiao Mo is at home, she will prepare all kinds of snacks and chat with her.

In order not to make Murong Shu worry, Xiao Mo would cooperate and put on a forced smile even if she had no interest.

This is true at home. Outside, as long as she goes out, whether to the East Military Camp or to other places, Qi Minxiu will come to find her soon.

She was touched by their companionship.

That's why she didn't dare show her true emotions, because it would make them more worried.

That day, Xiao Mo went to the military camp early in the morning, but strangely, Qi Minxiu did not follow her.

She thought that as a prince, it was impossible for him to do nothing every day. If he didn't come here, he must have something important to do, so she didn't delve into the issue.

At 3 p.m. in the afternoon, she had just come out of the military camp after training the soldiers when she ran into Qi Minxiu, who was rushing over and still panting.

Xiao Mo was stunned for a moment, then chuckled: "It's so late, what are you doing here?"

"Can't you come so late?" Qi Minxiu smiled and handed the reins to Ling Su.

Xiao Mo glanced at him, turned her head and pointed inside the camp: "Since you are here, go in and rest for a while."

He looked up at the sun which had not yet set, walked over and gently placed his hand on her shoulder: "I am indeed tired after coming all the way here, let's go."

Xiao Mo smiled and turned around, walking side by side with him: "If you have official business to attend to, you don't have to come. You still need to rest properly after handling the matter."

"It's not really official business, but it's pretty tricky."

Qi Minxiu looked at her with resentment in his eyes, curled his lips helplessly.

From his expression, it can be seen that the so-called difficult problem he mentioned is not an unsolvable one.

Xiao Mo chuckled softly, a slight arc appearing at the corner of her mouth: "What's that?"

"My sister, Princess Zhaoning, has been married for two years and has never wanted to marry a prince consort.

Just yesterday, the emperor mentioned this matter again, and before he could even say which young man he liked, she started yelling that she didn't like him.

After repeated questioning, I learned that she already had someone she loved."

Xiao Mo nodded as she listened, and looked at him with a raised eyebrow: "This is a good thing, how can it be difficult?"

"What's good about that? The man she likes has a bad family background, and the emperor doesn't want to marry his sister to him.

But the emperor's younger sister insisted on marrying him, and it really troubled my father."

Qi Minxiu sighed, pulled the corner of his mouth and looked at her sideways: "Qi Yue and I tried to persuade her all day today, but it didn't work at all.

She is the only princess in the palace who has reached the age of marriage but is still unmarried. Father is very concerned about her marriage."

Xiao Mo thought for a while, pouted and shook her head: "In fact, I think that feelings are more important than family background.

As long as the man is not a beggar or has no money to eat at home, it is not a big problem."

"But how can a princess of such wealth marry into an ordinary family and live an ordinary life?"

"Then don't let the princess marry."

Qi Minxiu didn't understand what she meant. He tilted his head and frowned, "What do you mean?"

Xiao Mo kept smiling as always, but there was a hint of sharpness in her eyes.

"Wouldn't it be better if the Emperor gave the princess a mansion outside the palace, and the man married into the family, and gave him a small official position?

Under our noses, I don't think the man would dare to disrespect the princess."

Qi Minxiu thought about her words seriously, pursed his lips and sighed: "Let's not talk about this anymore. Let's go in and sit down."

In the military camp, the soldiers were moving around freely. As soon as Qi Minxiu and Xiao Mo entered the tent, a soldier walked to the door with a pot of wine and a smile on his face.

"I greet your Highness and the General."

"What's the matter?" Qi Minxiu was unhappy with his interruption, and even his voice became a little colder.

The soldier smiled innocently and bent down repeatedly.

"This is the Hundred Flowers Wine I brewed myself. I heard the General loves it, so I dug it out today when I had some free time. I hope Your Highness and the General will not dislike it."

Qi Minxiu and Xiao Mo looked at each other and both looked at him.

"Since you brewed it yourself, you should keep it for yourself."

As soon as Xiao Mo finished speaking, the soldiers' mood became visibly depressed.

He slowly lowered his head, and when he raised it again, he seemed to have thought of something, and regained his smile and said, "This wine is not poisonous. If Your Highness and the General don't believe me, I will drink it right now and show you."

As soon as he finished speaking, Ling Su took a bowl and handed it to him.

He took it with both hands, poured a full bowl, tilted his head back and drank it all.

After drinking, he still had a smile on his face: "Your Highness, General, look, how dare I have the intention to murder you?

I have brewed five jars of this wine. If it's not enough, I can get more."

Xiao Mo was moved by his honesty and quickly called him: "Thank you for your kindness. This jar is enough for us to drink. No need to go get more."

The soldier chuckled, saluted, turned around and disappeared at the door of the tent.

Qi Minxiu glanced at the wine on the table and looked at Xiao Mo: "Is this person from the military camp?"

Xiao Mo chuckled softly, "Of course. This guy usually trains harder than the others, so I have a pretty good impression of him."

"Why do you ask?" She looked at Qi Minxiu in confusion.

Qi Minxiu smiled and shook his head slightly: "Nothing, I'm just worried someone might take the opportunity to poison me."

Xiao Mo burst out laughing: "Who would be so stupid as to poison someone in front of me?"

"Then why did you refuse?"

"I refused because I didn't want to drink."

Qi Minxiu snorted, reached out to take the wine jar, opened the lid and fanned the aroma from the bottle: "What a nice smell."

Xiao Mo glanced at his pretentious appearance and looked away with disdain.

"Come and smell it. It has the fragrance of flowers and fruits, mellow but not greasy, just the smell you like."

Xiao Mo was moved by what he said and went forward to smell it carefully.

Just when she was about to say that it was nothing special, she suddenly thought of someone.

Seeing her suddenly sit back on the stool in a depressed mood, Qi Minxiu put down the wine jar and frowned with worry.

"what happened?"

"It's nothing. When I smell this, I think of Aunt Feng." Xiao Mo smiled bitterly.

Qi Minxiu pursed his lips, smiled, sat next to her, and put his arm around her shoulders.

"Why are you mentioning her again?"

"She liked to brew this kind of wine when she was in Quancheng. Although the method is different, the taste of this jar of wine smells similar to the one she brewed."

As she spoke, Xiao Mo stretched out her hand, dipped her fingertips in the liquid and brought it to her mouth: "Even the taste is so similar."

Qi Minxiu was helpless and didn't know whether to laugh or not: "It's just a jar of wine, do you want to drink it?"

"No." She refused without hesitation.

But half an hour later...
