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

At the banquet, Xiao Mo wore a bright-colored shawl skirt, which was rare for her, and the decorations on her head were much more than usual.

The makeup on her forehead was like the finishing touch, making her look cool, noble and gentle. She attracted most people's attention as soon as she entered the venue.

In fact, she didn't like her outfit today because it was too complicated and restricted her movements.

But Murong Shu insisted that she was born beautiful, but she was wasting all her resources. If Xiao Xiang attended such a banquet, she would definitely dress up very beautifully.

Xiao Mo couldn't stand her nagging in her ears, and couldn't stand her comparing her with Xiao Xiang, so she agreed out of helplessness and anger.

In Murong Shu's eyes, Xiao Mo is everything to her. Whenever she had no other choice, Xiao Xiang would accompany her to all important occasions that required female companions.

If it weren't for Lin, Xiao Xiang might also be her good daughter, but that's just an assumption.

Of all parent-child relationships, only blood ties are the strongest.

Now that Xiao Mo is back, she wants to promote her vigorously and let everyone know that the eldest daughter of the Prime Minister's Mansion is Xiao Mo.

When Murong Shu saw that everyone at the banquet was looking over here at the same time, she couldn't help but smile.

Xiao Mo glanced around the hall expressionlessly, feeling somewhat disgusted by the unfamiliar gazes.

She wanted to urge Xiao Wenbo to take her to a seat quickly, but as soon as she looked up, she saw an official coming up to greet her with a smile on his face.

Xiao Mo didn't know him, but he and Xiao Wenbo seemed to be good friends.

The man looked at Xiao Mo and asked Xiao Wenbo if she was the legitimate daughter who grew up outside, who came back last year and went to the border to resist foreign enemies, and was now appointed a general by the emperor.

In the past, if someone asked about Xiao Mo, Xiao Wenbo would only feel ashamed, but now that she has made achievements, he feels extremely honored.

They were talking about her happily, but Xiao Mo didn't want to listen, so she stood aside and played with her cuffs boredly.

After just a few words, the man's words instantly made her lively.

Xiao Wenbo smiled with wrinkles on his face as he looked at Xiao Mo: "Although the Third Prince and the Seventh Prince have said so, it seems that the Emperor has no intention of granting us a marriage."

"Hahaha, then Miss Xiao, you can take a look at my Bin'er. He is two years older than you and has a handsome appearance. Standing with you, they are definitely a perfect match."

When Xiao Wenbo heard someone praising Xiao Mo like this, his face broke with laughter.

Although Xiao Xiang had been praised like this many times before, this was the first time that she had been matchmaking for her own child in public.

Murong Shu calmly pulled Xiao Mo behind her and took a small step forward with a gentle smile.

"Officer Cao, you're joking. My daughter Mo'er has a very good relationship with the Third Prince, and she also has to treat the Seventh Prince's leg injury. I'm afraid she can't think about marriage for the time being."

As soon as she finished speaking, Qi Yue came up and asked, "What are you talking about?"

Except for Xiao Mo, the other three people present turned sideways in shock, and after a moment of hesitation, they reacted and saluted him.

He curled his lips slightly with a smile that didn't reach his eyes. His eyes swept over Xiao Wenbo and Murong Shu, and finally landed on the official.

The official lowered his eyes guiltily, forced a smile, and bowed to Qi Yue again: "Your humble servant greets His Royal Highness Prince Jin."

Qi Yue narrowed his eyes dangerously, and pulled the corners of his mouth coldly: "Who did you say you would introduce to Xiao Mo? Who is the perfect match for her?"

The official raised his head slightly and met his cold eyes. He couldn't help swallowing.

"Your Excellency, your Excellency is saying that you and Miss Xiao are a perfect match, a perfect match."

These two sentences seemed to be very useful to Qi Yue, and his expression visibly eased a lot: "I can speak."

Xiao Mo stood by and watched several people changing their expressions as if they were singing an opera to compliment Qi Yue. She wanted to laugh but felt it was inappropriate, so she had to hold it back.

Qi Yue saw her strange expression, took her hand and pulled her towards the front of the hall: "Prime Minister, you two can chat. I'll take Amo away first."

Xiao Mo glanced at Xiao Wenbo and Murong Shu, then turned to look at him in panic: "Hey, what are you doing? Let me go."

"Keep the noise down. If you attract attention, you'll have to marry me even if you don't want to."

Qi Yue turned around with a wicked smile, and as soon as he said that, Xiao Mo became quiet.

He deliberately glanced behind Xiao Mo and asked her doubtfully, "Where's your follower? Didn't he come?"

Xiao Mo thought he was talking about Shen Yun, so she shook her head: "I asked her to stay in the mansion."

After all, she, Xiao Wenbo, Murong Shu and several other important people were not at home. Although that group of people did not dare to act rashly, it was always better to leave someone of their own at home.

Moreover, she was brought to the last palace banquet but Shen Hanzhou was not, and Shen Hanzhou was angry.

The last point is that she saw that no matter how high the official was, he only brought one follower with him, and she thought it might be a rule, so she followed it.

"Oh." Qi Yue responded casually and pulled her to sit in the second seat on the left in the hall.

Xiao Mo glanced at the bright yellow soft chair on the high seat, then glanced at the rows of seats, and broke free from his hand while he wasn't paying attention.

"My mother and I are sitting in the second row opposite." After saying that, she pretended to walk out.

Seeing this, Qi Yue grabbed her and said, "If I say you can sit here, you can sit here."

At a banquet, whether inside or outside the palace, the front row is usually occupied by family members, and secondly, the people further back have lower official positions.

As for the place where Qi Yue asked her to sit, she guessed that it was either the third prince or the eldest princess.

Just when she was stunned, Qi Yue gently pressed her shoulders and pushed her down.

"The banquet will begin as soon as the emperor arrives. Don't wander around. Just sit next to me, or I'll use force."

He stood behind Xiao Mo, slightly leaning forward and whispering in her ear.

Xiao Mo blinked speechlessly and was about to retort when Ling Su pushed Qi Minxiu over.

"Amo, you look so beautiful today." As soon as he arrived, he praised Xiao Mo without any reservation.

Xiao Mo glared at him unhappily, but her earlobes turned red.

Qi Minxiu smiled faintly and shifted his gaze to Qi Yue's hands on Xiao Mo's shoulders.

Qi Yue noticed the hostility in his eyes and smiled: "Amo sitting in your seat, you should have no objection, right?"
