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

Xiao Mo looked him in the eye steadily. "I'll only say this once. Shen Yun is mine and only listens to me. Even if I become the Princess of Chen, it will remain the same."

"I never thought of taking your maid away. I just asked her to do what a servant should do."

Xiao Mo turned her eyes and looked at Shen Yun: "Yun, go down and rest."

Seeing that she was a little angry, Qi Minxiu pursed his lips and pushed her to sit on the stool, his voice softening a lot.

"Okay, if I can't order your people around, then I can only order my people around. Come on."

Xiao Mo thought he would be unhappy, give her the cold shoulder, and act like a prince, but he didn't do that. He even coaxed her in a gentle voice.

This made her feel narrow-minded, and she lowered her head in embarrassment.

Qi Minxiu smiled and took her hand, rubbing it in his palm. "Just now you said, 'Even if you become the Princess of Chen', do you mean that you acknowledge this identity?"

"Didn't you have a wedding? Although I didn't attend, the person you married is indeed the eldest daughter of the Prime Minister's Mansion." Xiao Mo said without changing her expression.

Qi Minxiu's heart blossomed after hearing this: "You have to make up for the wedding night I missed, right?"

Xiao Mo was drinking porridge and almost choked to death by his words.

Qi Minxiu quickly reached out and patted her back to help her calm down: "Why are you so excited? The wedding night is an indispensable part of the wedding.

Since you've already acknowledged the wedding, you can't escape this no matter how embarrassed you are."

Xiao Mo smiled awkwardly at him, pretending to suddenly remember something. She looked at his legs and asked, "When did your legs get better?"

Qi Minxiu supported his cheek with one hand and looked at Xiao Mo tenderly: "Half a year after you left for the expedition."

"Such good news, why didn't you tell me in the letter?"

"forget."

"Forgot?" Xiao Mo raised her eyebrows and looked at him.

He nodded as if it was a matter of course. "It's not like I could walk so fast all of a sudden. I learned it step by step by following the method you gave me."

Xiao Mo lowered her eyes and thought for a moment. Indeed, before she left, he was able to stand up and walk slowly with the help of something.

It has been almost a year, and it is normal to have recovered to this point.

"Amo." Qi Minxiu straightened up and sighed softly: "Although I really don't want to hear it, can you tell me what happened after you fell off the cliff?"

Xiao Mo paused while eating, was silent for a moment, and suddenly smiled, and told him what happened in the wooden house in the bamboo forest as if she was telling a story.

Qi Minxiu's brows furrowed as he listened, "So those body fragments belonged to the Kang people."

He recalled that when he thought there were Xiao Mo's remains in there, the feeling of fear made him almost unable to breathe.

But fortunately, it was all a false alarm, and now his Amo is back.

"I'm full. I'm going to take a shower first." Xiao Mo's voice interrupted his bad memories.

Qi Minxiu stood up and saw her walking towards where she usually took a bath. He quickly called out to her, "You're going the wrong way. It's not that way."

Xiao Mo turned around in confusion: "Wasn't it always this way before?"

Qi Minxiu walked up to her, took her hand, and pulled her in the opposite direction.

Although she was confused, she did not refuse.

They walked around the front room and came to the back, pushed open a half-open door, and what came into view was a room full of red and sparkling decorations.

Beyond a folding screen, you'll see a steaming spring embedded in the ground.

Faintly, it seemed as if there were red petals floating on the water.

Xiao Mo, who always took showers with clean water, had never seen such a scene before. She pulled up her trouser legs and ran back.

Qi Minxiu quickly grabbed her arm and said, "Why are you running? Don't you want to take a shower?"

"I'm a rough man, just prepare two buckets of hot water and a ladle for me." Xiao Mo twisted her arm and tried to pull her hand back, but Qi Minxiu didn't give her any chance.

"I don't care whether you were a rough or delicate person before. From today on, you are the Princess of Chen. This is the standard for a princess' bath."

"Princess, do you want to bathe by soaking? Then you can prepare a wooden tub for me that is big enough for me to sit in."

Xiao Mo pulled her hand back with force, but before she could even lift her foot, Qi Minxiu grabbed her by the waist and lifted her up.

He placed her on the edge of the hot spring, his hands supporting her sides: "Either wash like this, or don't wash at all."

"I, you're going too far!"

"There are two more choices." Qi Minxiu approached her ambiguously: "Either I help you wash, or I accompany you to wash."

Xiao Mo blushed instantly and turned her head away, too embarrassed to even resist: "I, I choose the first one."

Hearing the answer, Qi Minxiu let go of his hand: "Okay, today is the first day, I don't want to scare you, take your time to wash, I'll wait for you in the room."

Xiao Mo didn't understand what he meant, and when she saw him leave, she didn't ask any further questions.

Today's bath was the most comfortable and relaxing one she had taken since the war.

The hot water eroded the soreness in her body, and after soaking, she felt as relaxed as if a layer of skin had been peeled off.

The clothes the maid gave her were a set of bright red pajamas. She had never worn such bright clothes before.

But after hearing the maids repeatedly emphasize that it was Qi Minxiu who prepared it for her, she stopped asking.

In the room, Qi Minxiu was also wearing bright red pajamas. He sat at the desk, flipping through the letter Xiao Mo wrote to him with a smile on his face.

Xiao Mo walked to the table puzzled: "Why haven't you gone to rest yet?"

"Isn't this waiting for you?" He put away his things and placed them in an exquisite box.

Xiao Mo looked at him blankly: "What are you waiting for me for? This is my room. If you want to sleep, go back to your room."

After saying that, she yawned and turned to walk towards the bed.

Qi Minxiu followed her from behind with a smile, then hugged her around the waist: "You slept for so long today, you probably won't be able to sleep tonight, right?"

Xiao Mo's body stiffened, and she instinctively reached out to pull the hand on her waist: "What does it matter if I can't sleep?"

"Amo, you smell so good." Qi Minxiu did not answer her question, but buried his head in her neck and took a deep breath.

"What are you doing? Let me go." She struggled and twisted her body.

Qi Minxiu closed his eyes and enjoyed it for a while, then suddenly picked her up by the waist and ran straight to the bed.

He gently placed her on the bed, quickly pressed forward and pinned her down, "Didn't I just tell you? Tonight is your wedding night for me."

Xiao Mo was stunned for a moment, then reacted and pushed the person on her with all her strength: "When did I ever say such a thing? Get out of the way."

Qi Minxiu smiled playfully, his lips curled up. "Amo, you've already admitted that you're my princess. How can you deny this? I'll give it to you sooner or later."

"I, I, I'm not ready yet..." She grabbed her collar tightly and stretched her neck as far as possible.

Qi Minxiu's big hand gently covered her small hand, lowered his head and whispered, "It's inevitable to be nervous for the first time, it's okay, I will guide you, come, relax first."
