Appointing a General as a Concubine: Where Can General Xiao Escape?
Chapter 17: The Distinguished Guest at the Prime Minister's Residence
Seeing Lu Yao's reaction, Xiao Mo looked in the direction of her gaze in confusion, and saw Qi Yue looking at her with a cynical expression.
"I know what you're thinking. She's a woman, and she changed into men's clothes today because she was going out on errands."
Qi Yue put one hand on Xiao Mo's shoulder and looked at Lu Yao with a smile on his face. Sure enough, her expression changed immediately when she heard these words.
Xiao Mo angrily shook off Qi Yue's hand and looked at him viciously: "What do you think of others? Do you think everyone is you?"
As soon as she finished speaking, Yuan Mu came over from a distance: "Sir, the frightened horse has been dealt with."
"You're back just in time. Go and escort Miss Lu back home." Qi Yue looked at Lu Yao as if she were a love rival, leaving Lu Yao stunned.
Xiao Mo laughed at his words and turned to leave, but was grabbed by the hand again: "Where are you going?"
"Why do you care where I go? I'll just go back and pamper those handsome men." She said this on purpose to anger him.
Qi Yue chuckled silently and turned his attention to Shen Hanzhou: "Is this how you serve your master? Is that a place that an unmarried girl like her can go to?"
Shen Hanzhou looked at Qi Yue with a calm expression and said, "She is the master and I am the servant. Where she wants to go and how she wants to spend her time is none of my business."
Okay, okay, you all are so sharp-tongued!
Qi Yue put his hands on his hips and closed his eyes. Just as he was about to explode and curse, Xiao Mo patted his shoulder and said with a smile, "I have something else to do, so I'll leave first."
This time, he didn't stop her, but just coldly asked Yuan Mu beside him: "How can we kill those male prostitutes in the carriage just now?"
Yuan Mu's eyes trembled, and he looked at him: "Master, this, I'm afraid it will be difficult to handle."
"Let's go to the Prime Minister's Mansion." Qi Yue looked at the direction where Xiao Mo left with a fierce look in his eyes.
Prince Chen's Palace.
Qi Minxiu sat in the yard listening to Ling Su reporting Xiao Mo's whereabouts.
His already unhappy expression instantly darkened when he heard that Xiao Mo had ordered a dozen male prostitutes from a brothel.
"What? Brothel?" He looked at Ling Su in disbelief, as if questioning the truth of his words.
Ling Su pursed his lips and nodded affirmatively.
Qi Minxiu's deep eyes flashed, he still couldn't believe that Xiao Mo would go to that kind of place.
After a moment of silence, he raised his head and looked at Ling Su: "Go to the Prime Minister's Mansion to find her and tell her that the acupuncture point on my leg is starting to hurt. If she hasn't come back yet, wait for her there."
After receiving the instructions, Ling Su nodded and turned around and left.
Outside the Prime Minister's Mansion, Qi Yue originally wanted to sneak in like he did last night, but after thinking about it, he decided to enter through the main gate.
Xiao Wenbo, who was looking up information in the study, heard that the third prince had arrived. He excitedly put down his things and went out to greet him.
At the same time, Lin also hurried to Xiao Xiang's yard to tell her that Prince Jin had come to visit the Prime Minister's Mansion.
She was Qi Yue's number one follower. A few years ago, when Qi Yue returned victorious from the war, she saw the high-spirited young man on the long street and fell in love with him at first sight.
In the past few years, he was either on official business outside or providing support on the front line. When he occasionally returned to the city, it was not something she could easily see because of her status.
Now, why did he come to visit the Prime Minister's residence? Was it because of her?
Xiao Xiang returned to the house and dressed herself up from head to toe. She was already certain that Qi Yue was here to find her.
Because Xiao Mo had not lived in the imperial city since she was a child, she had always been the famous eldest daughter in the Prime Minister's Mansion. If he was not here to find her, what else could he be here for?
Although the Prime Minister's Mansion had hosted several banquets of varying sizes, Qi Yue, who had been away from home for many years, had never been there once.
Xiao Wenbo hurried to the front hall and saw Qi Yue already standing in the yard.
Without waiting for him to speak, Lin walked up to him with a smile and invited Qi Yue to sit in the main hall.
Murong Shu stood beside Xiao Wenbo and looked at her with indifference.
Qi Yue walked to the main seat and just as he sat down, Xiao Xiang walked in with lotus steps.
"Your humble servant Xiao Xiang greets His Royal Highness Prince Jin." She bowed and saluted, her voice soft and delicate, giving people a gentle and sweet feeling.
Qi Yue looked her up and down, frowning slightly: "Well, get up."
Xiao Xiang pursed her lips, stood up with a faint smile, and shyly raised her eyes to glance at Qi Yue.
Just one glance and her heart started beating uncontrollably and her cheeks turned red.
I thought Qi Yue would ask her something or ask her to sit down when he saw her eyes.
Unexpectedly, he didn't pay any attention to her at all, but looked at Xiao Wenbo next to him: "Where's Xiao Mo? Ask him to come out and see me."
With just a few words, the flame that Xiao Xiang had just ignited was instantly extinguished.
Xiao Wenbo glanced at the lost Xiao Xiang and replied with a smile: "The eldest girl went to Prince Chen's Mansion early in the morning to treat the Seventh Prince's leg and has not returned yet."
"Nonsense, I saw her on the street just now." Qi Yue was a little annoyed, thinking that Xiao Wenbo was lying to him.
Seeing his reaction, the unsuspecting Lin immediately started to act clever, and walked over to Xiao Xiang with a wry smile: "My lady, you are so reckless. If I have offended His Royal Highness Prince Jin in any way, please forgive me."
She patted Xiao Xiang's shoulder gently, and Xiao Xiang immediately understood. She took the tea brought by the maid and walked to Qi Yue and offered it to him with both hands.
"Your Highness, please have some tea." The same soft voice, the same obsessed eyes.
Qi Yue looked at her expressionlessly, raised his chin, and Yuan Mu took the teacup for him.
"You said she is not in the house, so I will sit here and wait for her to come back." He leaned lazily on the back of the chair, looking at Xiao Wenbo coldly.
Xiao Wenbo smiled and quickly called the maids to check on Xiao Mo's yard.
Because he had been in the study since the morning court session, and everyone else was basically in their own courtyards, so he was not sure about Qi Yue's words.
Xiao Xiang, who was ignored by Qi Yue, looked at the person she loved so closely but was thinking about another woman. She felt so aggrieved that she almost cried.
But Qi Yue was too lazy to even look at her.
Ever since he met Xiao Mo, he finally understood what he really liked in his heart.
It is the confidence and charm that she exudes, her perseverance, her boldness and carefulness, and her spirit of being as brave as men on the battlefield.
In short, anything is fine, the one he likes is Xiao Mo. Even before he met Xiao Mo, the type he likes is definitely not a weak woman like Xiao Xiang.
Besides, he was not blind, so how could he not see that she did it on purpose?
After a while, the maid who went to Suqiyuan to look for someone came back. Facing Qi Yue's gaze, they could only shake their heads no matter how scared they were.
Didn't she go home? Then where did she go with those male prostitutes? Qi Yue withdrew his gaze and narrowed his eyes in confusion.
Just then, the servant outside the door ran in and said that someone from Prince Chen's Mansion wanted to ask Xiao Mo to come over.
This confused Xiao Wenbo. Didn't Xiao Mo go there a long time ago? Why was she asking him again now? Just as he was thinking about it, Ling Su strode in.
Murong Shu watched the whole thing but didn't say a word, because in the morning she saw Xiao Mo come back and change into men's clothes to go out.
She didn't know what she was doing, and she couldn't reveal a single word in such a tense environment. If she got into trouble, it would be more trouble than it was worth.
