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

Chapter 53 Proposal (2)

In the afternoon of this day, Xiao Yi stole a moment of leisure and made a pot of tea with the last snow this winter.

"Master Mo, there have been clear instructions in almost all dynasties that the harem is not allowed to interfere in politics. If you do this now, aren't you afraid that you will teach me to be a powerful empress Lu?"

"Not afraid."

"So sure?"

Mo Yanxiao, who was able to get out of bed and walk around a little, smiled slightly: "My apprentice, I know." He walked slowly to the window, opened half of it, and the breeze blew his face: "Since ancient times, the struggle in the harem has never been just a group of women. , It’s as simple as a phoenix crown. What is involved is the forces of the government and the opposition behind it. I know that the emperor has a soft spot for you, and I believe in his firm intention to protect you. But Xiao Yi..."

Turning around and staring at her, her black eyes seemed to sparkle with brilliance: "I don't want you to be a vine attached to others, I want you to fulfill that promise together, the promise of one emperor and one empress. I hope to see you in the future, It is you who stand side by side with him and support each other, not only guarding the family, but also guarding the country."

"I will." Xiao Yi looked back, her bright smile was like a bright moon in the sky, she nodded vigorously: "We will!"

Before dinner, Xiao Yi bid farewell and left as usual, while Mo Yanxiao checked the completed documents carefully.

The cursive ink on the paper is pretty elegant, but it lacks neatness, is a bit scribbled, and has a strength different from that of ordinary women's brushwork.

Take another look and sort it out.

After a while, Qin Mei pushed the door open and came in: "Brother Mo, it's time to rest."

Mo Yanxiao just closed the last document, and looked up with a smile: "Xiaomei, your timing is always just right."

"As time goes by, it's natural." Qin Mei walked over and tidied up the desk: "I remember the first time we met, it was also the season when winter turned to spring and the weather was cold."

"At that time, you were still a timid little girl, you only dared to hide behind your father's back and look at me secretly." Recalling the past, Mo Yanxiao rubbed the center of his brows and smiled lightly: "In a flash, it's been ten years."

"I have been waiting for that person for ten years."

Mo Yanxiao was startled, and raised his eyes: "You..."

"Brother Mo, I have been with you day and night for ten years. I think I should be the person who understands you best in this world, just like you understand me." Qin Mei, who stood with her back to the window and against the light, had a vague expression. Only the voice is still gentle and gentle: "Although, I don't understand why you suddenly went back to your hometown to worship your ancestors, and then insisted on returning to this place of right and wrong that you have been far away from."

Mo Yanxiao sat up straight, unable to hide his concern: "Why did you mention this so well? Did something happen?"

"No, I just think that no matter what your reason for doing that is, it should be enough by now, right?" Qin Mei's calm words showed some fluctuations: "Father once said that although you have the talent to govern the world, But you are humble by nature. You took part in the scientific examination, just to give me a life without worrying about food and clothing, to find a place for myself to settle down, to study knowledge and write books, to write poems with ink and landscape, is what you really want .So I know, maybe only I know, what losing your right hand means to you..."

"Xiaomei!" Mo Yanxiao frowned and reprimanded her, interrupting her words: "The matter has come to this, what's the point of talking about it?"

Qin Mei paused, as if she was adjusting her mood, and after a while, she slowly squatted down, put her hands on his knees, raised her face, and the evening photo flicked lightly: "Because I figured it out, a person's life is really too much." It's too long, and I have to find a companion to spend it with. Who else is more suitable than you and me who have been living together for ten years?"

Mo Yanxiao was stunned for a long time, then Fang murmured: "But, you have been waiting..."

"After waiting for so many years, I'm tired, aren't you tired?" Qin Mei looked at him softly, and asked softly, "Brother Mo, marry me."

Are you tired?are you tired.

Tiredness filled my heart in an instant.
