Empress: The Old Emperor's Way to Pursue His Wife

Chapter 20

It rained that night, not too much, and it stopped soon.However, after one autumn rain and one cool, the gloomy autumn wind has obviously carried a chill.

The weather improved slightly in the afternoon, and the sun came out for a while.

Mo Yanxiao, who had sent away a few visiting visitors, picked up a book and walked slowly in the courtyard while flipping through it, basking in the warm afternoon sun and enjoying the rare free time, except that he coughed lightly occasionally.

After reading a few pages, Qin Mei unceremoniously snatched the book away. Without any nonsense, she just lowered her face and pointed to the door of the room with her chin.

Mo Yanxiao sighed helplessly, but he didn't dare to refute, so he obediently went back to the house.

"I don't know how to add more clothes when I go out to blow the air. Didn't you see it when the weather changed? How old are you, and you need someone else to watch over you." Qin Mei blew on the freshly brewed soup and muttered angrily: " I'm afraid no one will believe me if I say it out, but our generation of emperor teachers is like a child who doesn't know how to take care of himself in private, and his calm and sophisticated appearance is actually just pretending!"

Mo Yanxiao took the medicine bowl and teased with a smile: "Yes, yes, yes, fortunately, you are watching and taking care of it, otherwise, I would have died of illness on the street long ago, so why would I have the life to pretend to deceive the world?"

"My eyes can't stay on you all the time, how can I stare at you all the time?" Qin Mei waited for him to drink the medicine, and immediately handed him a cup of tea, seemingly casually mentioning: "Like that night, He obviously felt unwell, but he still didn't listen to persuasion and insisted on going out. Moreover, he didn't come back until midnight. If it wasn't for this, how could he be so seriously ill?"

"Didn't I tell you that I met a few friends on the road that I haven't seen for a long time, so we talked late."

"Brother Mo, you didn't hide anything from me before." Qin Mei looked at him for a moment, then smiled and shook her head: "I didn't expect that the first time I was lied to was because of that Miss Xiao."

Mo Yanxiao moved his hand holding the teacup slightly, a few drops of tea splashed onto his fingertips, he was silent for a while, and apologized: "I'm sorry."

"I'm not blaming you..." Qin Mei took out a veil to wipe it clean for him, and said slowly, "I just want to remind Brother Mo that the girl from the Xiao family is probably not an ordinary person, and she can afford it."

Mo Yanxiao was taken aback for a moment, and then he suddenly said, "Such rebellious words, don't have to say another word in the future!"

"Is it really treason?" Qin Mei thought for a while, and suddenly said: "So the emperor has not accepted concubines until now, it is really because of..."

"Xiaomei, don't make wild guesses about the royal family." Mo Yanxiao quickly calmed down, turned around and put the teacup on the table, and said in a low voice, "You just need to know that I have never, and will never, think about who to climb. Family."

Qin Mei looked at his thinner side face, looked at the heavy tiredness between his brows, couldn't bear it flashed in his eyes, hesitated a little, and finally said: "But Brother Mo, if Miss Xiao is interested in you, what should I do? "

Mo Yanxiao said decisively, "Impossible!"

"Why not?"

"She's still a child."

"Child?" Qin Mei laughed softly, but in Mo Yanxiao's ears, it sounded like thunder: "There are not a few girls as old as her who are already married. Besides, thirteen or fourteen years old It's the age when love first begins, and it's easiest to fall in love with someone. Brother Mo, do you really know nothing, or are you just deceiving yourself?"

Emotional...

self-deception...

Mo Yanxiao shook the hand holding the edge of the table, knocking the cup off, and the shards flew.

Before I realized it, I closed my eyes, as if I saw the youth in high spirits from yesterday again.

Therefore, the reason why I came to the door on purpose was actually to say those words in front of him in the name of visiting a sick person.

Could it be that the emperor also saw the clues.

Could it be that Xiao Yi really...

Qin Mei sighed silently, said no more, and silently swept away the broken porcelain pieces with the dustpan and broom in the corner of the room.

When he came back, he saw Mo Yanxiao spreading paper and ink on the desk by the window, drawing with a brush, and a branch of winter plum blossoms in full bloom.

After painting, I put down the pen, but my finger was accidentally pricked by the sharp corner of the inkstone.

A drop of blood just fell on Mei Rui, and when she fainted, she turned into a red plum.

Pretty, proud, brilliant.Like, that girl in the red dress...

Squeezing his forehead hard, forcing down his complicated thoughts, Mo Yanxiao smiled at Qin Mei who had been watching him quietly, and said softly, "Xiaomei, I want to go for a walk, and I'll be back soon."

Qin Mei nodded, took his robe, and put it on carefully for him. Seeing that there was a stitch on the cuff, she took another needle and thread and sewed it up. Finally, she leaned over and smoothed the folds of the robe, her words and smiles were the same as usual: "I'll wait for you for dinner."

"it is good."
