Chapter 223 Why Didn’t You Leave?
Qi Yue walked in quickly with a bad look on his face, and Xiao Mo gave up the main seat according to etiquette.
After he sat down, he glanced sharply at Xiao Mo who was instructing someone to make tea.
"Why didn't you say hello to me when you left last night?"
Xiao Mo smiled and sat down next to him: "I told you two days ago."
Qi Yue looked at him angrily: "You said you would return to the Prime Minister's Mansion after Wu Zhaoyi's funeral.
She was buried yesterday, and I thought you wouldn't leave until at least today, and..."
I even prepared a sumptuous dinner to send her off properly, but in the end, she left quietly.
God knows how depressed he felt when he returned to the East Palace happily after completing the tasks assigned to him by the emperor, only to learn that she had already left.
Later, despite Yuan Mu's dissuasion and the cold night, he insisted on going to the Prime Minister's Mansion to find her, but when he came to nothing again, he became very angry.
Xiao Mo raised her eyebrows and tilted her head slightly: "What else?"
Qi Yue snorted coldly and turned his head away: "Nothing."
He didn't want her to know about the stupid things he did!
Xiao Mo pursed her lips, hummed a laugh, but suddenly coughed twice.
Qi Yue's arrogant face instantly changed into a worried look, but soon turned into a mocking look.
"Isn't he very capable? He came to the barracks before he was fully recovered, so why is he still coughing?"
Xiao Mo was so angry at his words that she laughed: "Who said you can't cough? I just happened to choke on the tea. Besides, I've recovered a long time ago."
"Humph, still showing off."
"I'm not showing off." She corrected him seriously.
His eyes gradually softened as he looked into hers, and as he glanced around, his tone became warm and seductive.
"I don't think there's anything in this military camp that needs you to guard. Let's go back."
Xiao Mo rolled her eyes at him, then raised her eyes and said, "Your Highness, don't you have to attend the morning court? Don't tell me you're leaving court so early."
"The Emperor is not feeling well, so today's court session is suspended."
"Then you don't have anything else to do? And you still have the leisure to come and play in my East Army Camp."
"I'm not here to play, I'm here to see you. Besides, this little delay won't affect anything."
Xiao Mo was about to retort him when Shen Yun brought in a bowl of dumplings.
"Miss, the soldiers have distributed all the dumplings, so I made some glutinous rice balls for you."
She lowered her head, carefully holding the bowl that was as full as it could be, and paid no attention to the other people in the tent.
Seeing this, Qi Yue frowned slightly: "You haven't had breakfast yet?"
"No." Xiao Mo answered him while standing up to help Shen Yun take the soup bowl.
Hearing the voice, Shen Yun raised his head, and when he saw Qi Yue sitting in the main seat, he quickly lowered his head again.
Xiao Mo stirred the glutinous rice balls in the bowl with a spoon and looked at Shen Yun: "You haven't eaten yet? Come, let's eat together."
Shen Yun pouted and smiled faintly: "No, they left some dumplings for me in the kitchen, you should eat them yourself!"
After saying that, she ran out.
Xiao Mo bit her lips, and was so angry that it seemed as if air was coming out of her ears and nose.
Qi Yue was amused by her appearance: "You want to eat dumplings, right? Come back to the palace with me, I will make them for you myself."
"No, it's not that I like it, I just want to be like everyone else. Actually, my taste is a little sweeter."
Xiao Mo quickly refused, then lowered her head, scooped up a glutinous rice ball and put it to her mouth and blew on it.
Qi Yue smiled and walked to the seat next to her and sat down: "Is that so? Then I can make you some snacks, sweet-scented osmanthus cakes, peach blossom lotus root powder cakes, and..."
"Let's talk about it when you're free. Ah, it's so hot!" Xiao Mo put down the spoon, opened her mouth slightly and took big gulps of cool air.
Qi Yue grinned, his eyebrows curved with laughter: "Why are you so stupid?"
As he spoke, he moved the bowl of glutinous rice balls in front of him, stirring and blowing on them.
Xiao Mo looked at him quietly and thought, how nice it would be if the person who helped her blow the glutinous rice balls was Qi Minxiu.
Her revenge plan has just begun, and it is unknown when it will end.
What should she do if he can't wait for her and has someone else in love?
Qi Yue blew it for a while and felt it was about right. He scooped up a little sugar water and tasted it. Finding that the temperature was just right, he quickly moved back to Xiao Mo.
Xiao Mo didn't notice that he had just used her spoon to taste the sugar water. She picked up the bowl absentmindedly and took a sip.
Qi Yue thought she would mind, but he didn't expect that she didn't care at all, which surprised him a little.
Does this mean that she has accepted him, or is ready to accept him?
Thinking of this, he felt secretly happy and couldn't help but smile.
Xiao Mo ate a few and recalled the scene when she and Qi Minxiu went to Qinshan to see her master. She felt depressed and lost her appetite.
Because of what she said to Shen Yun just now, Qi Yue thought that she couldn't finish it, so he took the bowl she pushed away and scooped a taste.
"Mmm, it tastes very good."
He exclaimed in praise and ate all the remaining dumplings in the bowl one by one.
Xiao Mo looked at him in shock: "Didn't you have breakfast either?"
"No, I didn't even eat dinner last night." Qi Yue answered casually and seriously.
Xiao Mo frowned in confusion: "Why, were you busy last night?"
"not busy."
"Then why don't you eat?"
Qi Yue wiped his mouth, raised his head, and smiled happily: "Since you care about me so much, why didn't you accompany me for dinner last night?"
"What does it have to do with me?"
"How can it be okay? I prepared a huge table of delicious food, all your favorite dishes. But when I came back from my work, I found that you were gone. How could I even have the heart to eat?"
Qi Yue raised his voice in an accusing tone, and snorted in annoyance after he finished speaking.
Originally he didn't want to say this, but then he thought, how could he let her know his feelings for her if he didn't say it?
Xiao Mo looked confused when she heard this, with a hint of moisture in her eyes: "I wanted to tell you, but you didn't come back after waiting for a long time, so I left without saying goodbye."
She lowered her eyes, and her voice was filled with deep remorse as she explained.
Qi Yue couldn't bear it and reached out to cover her: "Okay, I was just saying it casually!"
"Why are you joking about something like this? Disgusting!"
Xiao Mo raised her head, pulled her hand back heavily, and turned away pretending to be angry.
Qi Yue quickly approached him with a smile, and said in a soft voice like coaxing a child that it was his fault.
Xiao Mo did not dodge his approach.
Such close contact reminded her of Qi Minxiu, whom she had "abandoned".
During the Spring Festival, they hugged each other and watched the fireworks on a high-rise building in almost the same posture, except that the positions of man and woman were swapped.
Unexpectedly, in less than a month, the person who was so close to her again became Qi Yue.
