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

Chapter 150 Marriage Grant

Her words did not scare Xu Renchuan, but made Shen Yun, who was standing beside him, anxious.

"How should I use the medicine for General Xu's health, Miss?"

Xiao Mo didn't think too much and said, "I'll prescribe some medicine. Drink it three times a day and take a medicinal bath once a day.

I didn't bring any needles today, but I'll bring some tomorrow so I can give you some acupuncture. You'll need to take good care of yourself for a while before you're truly alright."

Shen Yun was listening attentively, and the worry on her face caught Xiao Mo's attention.

Xu Renchuan smiled and withdrew his hand, then raised his head and bowed to her: "Thank you very much, General Xiao, for your time and effort."

"There's no need to talk about this between you and me."

"It's almost noon. I'll have someone prepare some simple food. Let's have lunch here."

Xiao Mo smiled slightly with the corners of her mouth curled up, and was about to say yes, but Shen Yun answered for her before she could.

"Thank you for your hospitality, General Xu."

Xu Renchuan didn't notice anything wrong and nodded with a smile on his face: "The food here is not as good as the one in the Prime Minister's Mansion."

"As long as everyone eats grains, there's no such thing as good or bad."

Shen Yun's answer again made Xiao Mo feel more and more that something was wrong.

She looked at her with a chuckle, saying nothing, just observing her face carefully.

Xu Renchuan was amused by her answer, and when he raised his eyes, he met a pair of warm eyes.

When the two looked at each other, Shen Yun quickly lowered her eyes to hide the emotions in them.

After lunch, Xiao Mo saw that Shen Yun didn't want to leave, so she stayed behind under the pretext of strolling around the military camp.

After Xu Renchuan took them on a tour, he pointed to the polo field not far away.

"Would you like to play? Back in Beiyi, you loved playing polo in your free time."

Xiao Mo looked at the spacious venue, then at Shen Yun, and readily agreed.

Although it is early winter now, I still sweat after a little exercise.

After several rounds of competition, Xiao Mo's face was already red from the heat.

She took off her outer robe and mingled with the soldiers again.

Xu Renchuan stood outside the field, staring at her heroic figure.

Before meeting Xiao Mo, he had never thought that a woman could go to the battlefield and even do better than him.

After another round of competition, Xiao Mo went off the court to drink some water. When she looked up, she saw the sun hanging high in the sky, and suddenly remembered something important.

She hurriedly returned the things to Xu Renchuan: "I forgot that there is something important at home. I have to go back quickly. That's it for today. I'll come to see you another day. Yun, let's go."

After saying that, without waiting for Xu Renchuan to react, she mounted her horse and galloped away.

Shen Yun smiled and saluted Xu Renchuan, then quickly caught up with him.

After they left, a soldier who had been following Xu Renchuan for many years came over.

"General, this General Xiao is truly a perfect person. She is smart, capable, and a beautiful woman with a great figure and face. If my status didn't prohibit me, I would have wanted to pursue her."

Xu Renchuan stared into the distance and agreed with him: "She is indeed a very good woman."

"General, I don't have this fate, but you can."

"What can I do?" He put his hands behind his back and turned to look at the soldier.

The soldier looked at him with an expression that said, "Stop pretending." "Of course she's pursuing General Xiao. Doesn't the general like her?"

Xu Renchuan's expression suddenly changed: "I have never considered her as the kind of person you think she is. In my heart, I only regard her as a younger sister."

His eyes were unfocused and he was lost in memories, muttering to himself.

"My biological sister was six years younger than me. Her personality and temperament were very similar to hers. Unfortunately, she fell seriously ill and died at the age of ten."

The soldier was stunned and never dared to say such words again.

Back at the Prime Minister's Mansion, Xiao Mo had just entered the room when the eunuch followed in with the imperial edict.

Everyone was puzzled as to what decree the emperor would issue at this time.

Xiao Wenbo knelt in the courtyard with an ugly and frightened look on his face, thinking that the emperor was going to punish him for the matter between Lin and Xiao Xiang.

Unexpectedly, this imperial edict was not issued to him at all.

"Xiao Mo accepts the order."

The eunuch's sharp voice cut through the air, but it didn't make anyone feel uncomfortable.

"It is God's destiny, the emperor decreed:

I believe that the greatest virtue of heaven and earth is life, and husband and wife are the beginning of human relations.

Here we have the seventh prince Qi Minxiu, who has upright character and outstanding talents; the daughter of the prime minister, Xiao Mo, who is both virtuous and beautiful, and extremely virtuous.

I, mindful of the deep affection and mutual love between the two, have granted them marriage.

I now order Qi Minxiu and Xiao Mo to become husband and wife, and to marry on the seventeenth day of the first lunar month.

You should strictly observe the code of conduct for women, respect each other as guests, live in harmony with each other, expand the family line, and bring honor to the family.

Admire this. "

At the same time, Prince Chen's Mansion also received the same imperial edict.

Qi Minxiu was surprised and happy, even a little bit unable to believe it.

Recalling last night, the emperor told him that he would give him an imperial edict that would make him happy, it turned out that this was what he meant.

In the Prime Minister's Mansion, after hearing the contents of the imperial edict, Xiao Wenbo was stunned at first, then his face was full of disbelief, and finally he looked at Xiao Mo angrily.

This morning, the emperor sent everyone out of the palace and left her alone.

This imperial edict must have been obtained by her from the emperor!

Xiao Mo concealed her inner joy and took the imperial edict with a serious expression.

As soon as the eunuch walked out of the Prime Minister's Mansion, Xiao Wenbo couldn't help but curse at Xiao Mo.

"Xiao Mo, are you crazy? Are you going to ask the emperor to marry you to His Royal Highness Prince Chen?

The prince likes you so much. As long as you nod, the position of the crown princess will belong to you. Why don’t you understand?

Do I need to tell you which one is more powerful and influential, the Princess of Chen or the Crown Princess?

"I don't want anything I don't like, even if it's the position of Queen."

"You! Are you trying to piss me off to death? The position of the mother of a country is something many people want but can't even sit on, yet you refuse it even when it's right in front of you."

Xiao Wenbo was so angry at Xiao Mo's words that his eyes turned black.

Xiao Mo disagreed: "Is the palace so good? If you are in love, there is still some hope.

But if you are imprisoned behind layers of palace walls by someone you don't like, what's the point of living like this?"

Xiao Wenbo was choked by her words for a moment, but he quickly came to his senses.

"In the face of supreme power, is liking someone really that important?"

Xiao Mo looked at him coldly and sneered, "Since true love is useless, why did you marry Lin?"

Xiao Wenbo was choked by her words again. This time, she quickly left the courtyard before he could react.
