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

Chapter 21

After Mo Yanxiao went out, he wandered aimlessly around for a long time.Finally, he returned the same way, and seeing that it was still early, he passed the house and walked towards a small forest opposite.

When I arrived under a big tree, there was a wind blowing in front of me, and I suddenly felt cool.Then he stopped, and just about to put on his cloak, he suddenly heard a "cracking" sound from the branches and leaves above his head, accompanied by rain-like drops of water, and a living person fell down.

This person's landing posture is really not graceful, and it's just that he didn't fall on all fours.Her hair and clothes were quite wet, and her little face turned pale, whether it was from the cold or from fright.His eyes were red, and his eyelashes fluttered quickly, as if he couldn't figure out what happened at all, he was stunned.

Mo Yanxiao looked at the man who fell from the sky in surprise, and said in disbelief after a while: "Xiao Yi? What are you doing?"

"I... I seem to have fallen asleep..."

"...on this tree?"

Xiao Yi rubbed her eyes, and finally came back to her senses, moved her stiff limbs and joints, wrinkled her nose, and looked quite aggrieved: "I heard that you were sick, so I wanted to see you, but you There are always guests at home, and they call again and again. I am tired from standing, so I have to climb up the tree and continue to wait, and I get sleepy after waiting..."

"when did you come?"

"Come right after breakfast."

"Then... where did you have lunch?"

"I have never come down to eat leaves?"

He raised his hand to wipe off the water droplets on her hair, and straightened her collar. Seeing that she was in such a mess that she had never seen before, Mo Yanxiao felt his heart tighten, full of pity, and couldn't help poking her forehead lightly: "You are also a guest, why don't you just come in and look for me? You usually look smart, but why did you use such a stupid way today. Come, come back with me, change your clothes and eat something, don't be cold and tired." Get sick from being hungry..."

"Little master..." Xiao Yi quickly grabbed his sleeve and interrupted his chatter, looking at him pitifully: "I don't want to go to your house."

"Why? There are no other guests at home now."

"I just want to come and see you. If I see you, I'll be fine."

Mo Yanxiao was startled, and suddenly understood, he couldn't help curling the corners of his lips, but in that clear and shallow smile, there was a trace of bitterness that was not easy to detect.

If she is like this, she must not want to see Qin Mei, right?

If she thinks back on this, the reason why she suddenly lost her temper that day is easy to understand.

Sure enough, sure enough...

Mo Yanxiao's guess was right, Xiao Yi really didn't want to see Qin Mei.In fact, she had seen enough today.

From this big tree, with Xiao Yi's eyesight, almost everything in Mo Yanxiao's courtyard can be seen.

She saw Qin Mei helping to greet the guests, boiling water and serving tea, and treating others with neither humility nor overbearing.

She also saw Qin Mei tidying up Mo Yanxiao's books and manuscripts, rubbing ink and adding fragrance, talking and laughing with him, making medicine for him, dressing him...

They get along so easily, so casually, so harmoniously.

The most important thing is that in Xiao Yi's opinion, Qin Mei is omnipotent. She can go to the living room and go to the kitchen. She has read poems and books and talked well. Let people all kinds of envy, jealousy and hate life can not live!And she looks pretty, and she has a good figure, as big as she should be, and as thin as she should be...

In short, Xiao Yi, who has always made herself feel so good, felt inferior and frustrated for the first time in her life, so she couldn't help but feel very depressed, and then fell asleep after being depressed...

"Are you cold?"

"I have internal strength, not cold."

"Are you hungry?"

"It doesn't matter how full your internal strength is."

Mo Yanxiao smiled: "In this case, let's find a place to fill our stomachs first, shall we?"

Xiao Yi was overjoyed and nodded her head heavily.

After walking a few steps, he rolled his eyes, showing a sneaky expression.Immediately, little by little, both hands sneaked in from the wide cuffs, carefully grabbed his hand, and finally, clenched it tightly.

Mo Yanxiao shuddered slightly, and subconsciously wanted to withdraw her hand, but her fingers were so cold, no matter how much her internal strength protected her body, it would still be difficult to keep out the cold, so her heart softened.

For the time being, just be her hand warmer.

For the time being, it was just such a violation of the rules, just such a indulgence...
