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

Chapter 35 Temptation (1)

The winter sun sets in the west, leaving a ray of light to reflect the sky.

It only takes a cup of tea to walk from the Prime Minister's Mansion to the Imperial Palace, and it is naturally very close to the Xiao Mansion, which can be regarded as fulfilling Xiao Yi's original intention of buying a house in the city for Mo Yanxiao.

Standing in the distance and staring at the high lintel, Xiao Yi was dazed for a while. Just as Xiao Yi was about to take a step, she suddenly had a change of heart. Please do not enter.

So it didn't take a moment to break the silence in the mansion.

Mo Yanxiao, who came out following the sound, was helpless after seeing several figures fighting in one place in mid-air, "Could it be that Pavilion Master Xiao is still a little worried about the safety of the guards below?"

With a loud smile, she flaunted a feint, exited the battle group and floated to the ground, Xiao Yi clasped her fists in the empty surroundings in the blink of an eye: "Everyone, I'm just kidding, I'm offended!"

Seeing this, Mo Yanxiao couldn't help smiling, and immediately raised his voice: "As long as Pavilion Master Xiao visits from now on, you don't have to stop him."

Xiao Yi jokingly raised her eyebrows: "Aren't you afraid that you will leave me with a chance to plot something wrong?"

Mo Yanxiao spread out his hands in accordance with her expression: "I have no grievances or enmities with Pavilion Master Xiao, why should I be afraid of it?"

"Maybe, for example, they touched your room in the middle of the night or something."

Seeing that he was speechless, Xiao Yi immediately gave a 'haha' smile again: "I've been traveling all the year round, I'm used to not sticking to small details, and I can't help but speak freely without restraint, Master Mo, don't bother with me."

Hearing this address at first, Mo Yanxiao was taken aback.

Xiao Yi stopped at an arm's length away, and tilted her head: "I have officially received the ceremony of apprenticeship, you must not be so heartless, and want to expel me from the teacher?"

Mo Yanxiao looked at her charming appearance with curved eyebrows and eyes, and curled her pale lips: "How could it be, thanks to Pavilion Master Xiao for not giving up."

"Then you don't want to take a bite of Pavilion Master Xiao, let's just follow the previous name, okay?"

"it is good."

"Aren't you planning to invite disciples in for a cup of tea and a chat?"

"Oh, I'm being rude to my teacher, Xiao Yi please."

"Master Mo, please."

In the past, he kept calling her by name, but she called him little master, only she could call him that.

Now, she also calls him Master Mo, like the other two disciples, does it mean that that little difference is about to disappear.

Or, just trying to cover up.If you really don't have any grievances anymore, why bother to change an insignificant name...

Tilting his head slightly and rubbing his forehead, Mo Yanxiao sighed silently and smiled wryly at himself.

Since when have you been so entangled in these inexplicable emotions, thinking wildly, unable to take it up and let it go, it's absurd.

"Is this Master Mo's new work?" Mo Yanxiao said in a daze, Xiao Yi had already walked around the study on her own, and was soon attracted by the paintings on the table: "Everyone says that Mo Xiang's poems and paintings Shuangjue, I used to be ignorant and unappreciative, but in the past two years I have gained some knowledge outside, and looking at it now, it really lives up to the name."

Mo Yanxiao's face paled suddenly when he came back to his senses, he took two quick steps forward and reached out his hand at the same time, as if he wanted to cover something up, but he stopped when Kankan touched the drawing paper, turned around without making a trace, and felt a little curled up Raised corners: "It's just some praises and praises, scribbled at random, not worth mentioning."

"You can't say it like that. Isn't there a saying that can only reflect the truest state of mind if you do it with your own hands?"

Eyebrows twitched, and he suppressed himself again, Mo Yanxiao turned around slowly, picked up the pot and poured tea, and after a while, he casually asked: "I have been a teacher for so many years, and I still don't know the origin of the names of your brother and sister, your lord. The talent is unmatched, I think it must have a deep meaning, right?"

Xiao Yi curled her lips: "There is no deep meaning here, it's just a businessman's nature, and he is determined not to let go of any opportunity to take advantage of others. Don't you think that we will become uncles and aunts when we read and read our names ?"

"Where's Master Mo's name? Mo Yanxiao, Mo Yanxiao, don't talk or laugh?"

"Wouldn't that be a wooden man?" Mo Yanxiao smiled and shook his head: "Actually, it's very simple. Men of my generation are ranked in the generation of 'yan' in the clan, and my birthday is suitable It’s the Lantern Festival.”

"No wonder, there is a word Xiao in your name..." Xiao Yi's eyelashes trembled suddenly, she looked at the painting, then raised her eyes to look at his soft and elegant profile, paused for a while, and smiled sweetly: "The moon on the fifteenth day of the first lunar month It is really big and round, and the wintersweet blooms in this season are also the best and most beautiful. It seems that we will soon be able to eat the wedding wine of Master Mo and Miss Qin."

Mo Yanxiao smiled noncommittally, but said nothing.
