PDLP Chapter 224 Commitment
Chapter 224 Commitment
The faint fragrance from Qi Yue interrupted Xiao Mo's thoughts.
She came to her senses and gently pushed him away: "Don't do it again."
She had never thought of doing such flirting with Qi Yue.
Qi Minxiu, Qi Minxiu...
I was busy with Wu Zhaoyi's affairs these days and had no time to think about him.
Now that she has some free time, whenever she gets along with someone who has even a little bit of his shadow, she starts to miss him.
Qi Yue smiled dotingly, his charming smile captivating everyone: "Then let's go back to the East Palace?"
Xiao Mo turned her head to the side, avoiding his gaze: "I haven't been back to the Prime Minister's Mansion for many days."
"Then I'll go back with you, um, have lunch and then go back to the palace, okay?"
Qi Yue thought about it seriously and asked for her opinion.
Xiao Mo narrowed her eyes and thought for a moment before evading the question, "I'm not from the East Palace. It's not like I should live there every day."
In fact, being able to live in the Eastern Palace permanently would be very helpful for her to deal with Concubine Liang and Qi Yue.
But she couldn't just move in like this without knowing the reason.
Qi Yue seemed to know what she would say, and patted her hand comfortingly: "That's simple, wouldn't it be legitimate for you to marry into the East Palace?"
Xiao Mo knew that he would say this sooner or later, but she had never thought of how to respond.
She could no longer refuse outright like before, but she couldn't agree right away either, so she could only deal with it ambiguously.
"I promised the Emperor that I would observe three years of mourning for Master. Master has been so kind to me, I cannot break my promise. Besides..."
"Besides what?"
Xiao Mo glanced at him with a sad look in her eyes: "Besides, my engagement with Qi Minxiu is still ongoing. It is against etiquette for me to live in the Eastern Palace in this capacity for a long time."
Qi Yue looked at her with shining eyes. He thought she would say that she didn't like him or something like that, but he didn't expect it was due to other factors.
As long as she is willing, anything in the outside world that prevents them from being together is a small matter.
He tightened his palm and held Xiao Mo's hand tightly: "These things are not a big deal, leave them to me."
Xiao Mo pursed her lips, blinked her beautiful eyes, and raised her eyelids to look at him.
"Everything else is up to you, but I can't handle Master's affairs."
Qi Yue's smile froze and he lowered his head in disappointment.
Seeing this, Xiao Mo quickly added something that made him very happy.
"Ayue, I think as long as you have the will and I have the intention, three years is just a small test."
As she spoke, she stood up, her eyes unfocused, looking away with a look of longing.
"As long as two people truly love each other, I believe that three years won't change anything. Maybe it will even make our feelings grow deeper."
Qi Yue looked at her with burning eyes, his mouth almost broken with laughter, but soon, he put away his smile and put on a serious look.
"Amo, I have a question I want to ask you..."
Before he could finish his words, Xiao Mo interrupted him softly: "I know what you want to ask."
She looked at him, her head tilted slightly: "If I said I loved you, would you believe it?"
"Believe it." Qi Yue quickly answered Xiao Mo without waiting for her to finish her sentence.
She lowered her eyes and smiled, curled her lips and shook her head: "But if you loved another woman before, and you said you loved me right after falling out with her, I wouldn't believe it.
Ah Yue, I don't want to lie to you. Actually, my feelings towards you right now are not that much.
But I am willing to give it a try. I will try to forget Qi Minxiu, forget everything about him, and start over with you. Are you willing? "
Qi Yue felt like he was possessed by a poison after hearing Xiao Mo's words. He could no longer see anything else except her.
He nodded woodenly, then smiled, stood up and hugged her in his arms.
"I do. You don't have to ask me."
He never thought that Xiao Mo would say such heartfelt words to him.
Not to mention that she was willing to take the initiative to forget her past with Qi Minxiu, even if she was unwilling, he would find a way to make her forget it.
It seems that she is sincere and she really wants to be with her.
Before this, he had even thought of other ways, but unexpectedly, she gave him an unexpected surprise.
Qi Yue hugged Xiao Mo tightly, put his head on her shoulder, took a deep breath and felt her scent.
"I know it's not easy to forget someone you truly love, but I'm willing to wait and try. Three years from now, you'll be the Crown Princess of the Eastern Palace, and the future Queen."
Xiao Mo hugged him back and slowly tightened her arms, humming softly.
Such a warm and romantic moment was interrupted by the noisy Shen Yun running in.
Yuan Mu followed behind her and seemed to have tried to stop her but failed.
As soon as Shen Yun came in, she saw Xiao Mo and Qi Yue hugging each other tightly. She was stunned for a moment and then quickly turned around and walked out.
"Why don't you say anything!" When she came outside, she didn't care about herself, but started accusing Yuan Mu.
Yuan Mu folded his hands in silence: "I told you not to go in, but you insisted on forcing your way in."
"Brother, please tell me the reason! How would I know why you said I can't go in?"
"What do you want me to say? I said His Highness and General Xiao were in there. Um... I didn't know they were hugging each other!"
Yuan Mu spread out his hands and gestured helplessly. He thought for a long time but still didn't know how to explain it.
Shen Yun raised her chin proudly, glanced away, and only looked at him out of the corner of her eyes.
"Why don't you just say that only His Royal Highness the Crown Prince and General Xiao are inside?"
Yuan Mu was just about to argue with her about his skills when Xiao Mo and Qi Yue walked out side by side.
The two of them quickly put away their attitudes and ran to their master happily.
"Your Highness, please forgive me. I didn't mean it." Shen Yun stood beside Xiao Mo and apologized to Qi Yue.
Qi Yue was about to reply to her, but Xiao Mo answered for him first: "You already said you didn't mean it, so His Highness will naturally not argue with you."
Shen Yun didn't give him another chance to answer. She smiled and nodded, saying, "Thank you, Your Highness. You are indeed the one favored by the Emperor. You are truly magnanimous."
Qi Yue glanced at her speechlessly and found that since his relationship with Xiao Mo warmed up, she had become much bolder in speaking in front of him.
Could it be that she was like this when Xiao Mo and Qi Min reconciled before?
She was brought back by Xiao Mo from the battlefield of Beiyi. Although she usually followed Xiao Mo as a maid, Xiao Mo never treated her as a servant.
Maybe they had discussed him or Qi Minxiu in private.
Does Shen Yun's attitude towards him mean that she already regards him as her son-in-law in her heart?
It is said that a personal maid is a lady's second mouth. Perhaps, it was also her credit that Xiao Mo accepted him so quickly.
But even so, she can't be so confused about good and evil and just do whatever she wants!
Just now, if she hadn't barged in to interrupt, he would have taken action against Xiao Mo!
Not to mention kissing, at least we can be affectionate for a while.
Because she was so impetuous, Xiao Mo thought she had something to report to her, so he hugged her for a while before she pushed him away.
If there really is something wrong, then forget it. Isn’t this nothing?
