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

Qi Yue narrowed his eyes and looked at her. Although the curve of his mouth widened a little, the smile was gone.

"Since you said you're not married and I'm not married, can I do something unspeakable to you and force you to become Princess Jin?"

Xiao Mo's face suddenly changed when she heard this. She quickly shook her hand and sat back on the stool: "Qi Yue, please behave like a human being. You can even say such words."

"Not only can I say it, I can do it too. Let me ask you again, who kissed you?"

Feeling the pressure from the imperial power, Xiao Mo could only perfunctorily answer: "No one, I accidentally fell to the ground and hit her mouth."

Recalling the scene when she pushed Qi Minxiu into the carriage before entering the palace, Qi Yue's eyes were shocked. It turned out to be him.

"Xiao Mo, listen to this. Although the emperor hasn't given in yet, once he does, you will definitely be the Princess of Jin."

Qi Yue put away his smile and told her seriously: "You are mine."

Xiao Mo didn't listen to his words at all, pointing in the direction of the windowsill, "You should go."

"I don't..." Before Qi Yue could finish his words, Murong Shu's voice came from outside the door.

"Mo'er, are you resting? Dinner is ready, and your father asked you to go to the front hall to eat together."

Xiao Mo looked towards the door, panickedly grabbed Qi Yue's hand, and pulled him towards the window.

"Get out of here right now! If Mother sees you hiding in my room, I'll never be able to wash myself clean even if I jump into the Yellow River!"

"That's perfect. I'll take this opportunity to marry you. Isn't that the best of both worlds?"

She stared at him speechlessly: "If you marry me this way, I will die on our wedding night. Get out of here now."

"Wait, I have something else to tell you." Qi Yue was pushed hard and could only put his arm around Xiao Mo's shoulders.

"Fuck away!"

"I'll be waiting for you on the long bridge on West Street tomorrow morning at noon. You must come."

Xiao Mo looked at him with confusion: "What are you going to do?"

"You'll know when you come." Qi Yue smiled with his eyes curved, looking very beautiful.

"Why should I go..."

"Mo'er, am I coming in?"

Xiao Mo almost forgot about Murong Shu outside the door. She was halfway through her words when she was so scared that her soul flew away: "Wait a moment, mother, wait a moment, I'll be right there."

"What are you still doing? Go away!" After saying that, she turned around and looked at Qi Yue fiercely, who looked like he deserved a beating.

Qi Yue leaned against the window with his arms folded across his chest, a cheeky face on his face: "I'm not in a hurry. I won't leave until I hear a satisfactory answer."

"I'll go, can't I? Let's go."

Although Xiao Mo said this, she had already cursed Qi Yue thousands of times in her heart.

Qi Yue reached out and pinched her little face, then moved closer to her: "If you lie to me, I will come to your place to stay for one night tomorrow. I will walk in through the main door and have your father lead the way for me. I will let everyone know that our relationship is extraordinary."

"Are you done? If you're done, get out of here!" Xiao Mo said as she pushed him out of the window.

Murong Shu, who was waiting outside the door, was getting a little anxious. She knocked on the door again. This time, there was a hint of worry in her tone: "Mo'er, are you not feeling well?"

"No, I'm here." Xiao Mo quickly took off the hairpin on her head, ruffled her hair a little, and took off her coat and pretended to put it on while walking.

After the door opened, Murong Shu quickly took her hand and looked around: "Why didn't you open the door for so long? Are you sick?"

Xiao Mo smiled and led her into the house: "No, I went to accompany Qi today... His Royal Highness Prince Chen exercised for a long time and was a little tired, so I lay down for a while."

Shen Yun secretly glanced at her and felt relieved when she saw that she didn't look sad.

She had been waiting outside with Murong Shu for so long just now, and she thought she had lost her mind. She was so scared that she almost told Murong Shu what Xiao Mo had told her.

After dinner, Xiao Mo took Shen Yun to the yard to drink tea and watch the stars. When she noticed her change, she laughed out loud.

"It's me who's being kissed, not you. Why are you more nervous than me?"

"I'm not nervous, I'm just, afraid that you..."

"Why are you afraid of me?" Xiao Mo smiled and moved closer to her.

Shen Yun frowned and looked into her eyes, tilting her head slightly.

"Is it really okay? My mother taught me when I was little that before I got married, I was not allowed to let anyone touch my face or hold my hand, let alone kiss me."

"Regardless of gender, you shouldn't have intimate contact with the opposite sex before you get married. What happened today was purely accidental. I'm not one to worry about things happening out of thin air. If we kissed, then it's what we did. If I don't tell you, no one will know."

Xiao Mo patiently explained to her, also wanting her to stop worrying about it.

Shen Yun listened to her with shining eyes, pursed her lips and nodded: "That's the truth."

"It's late, go back to your room and rest." Seeing that she had convinced him, Xiao Mo stood up, patted her sleeves, and looked down at her.

Shen Yun glanced at the sky, stood up, cleaned up the leftovers on the table, and hurriedly followed her.

The next morning, just as Xiao Mo was about to get up, she heard Murong Shu's rare joyful voice outside the door.

She put on her coat and walked out of the room in confusion. Before she could get around the screen, Murong Shu pushed the door open and came in.

The servants placed breakfast on the table one by one, and Murong Shu walked straight towards her.

"Mo'er, go wash up and have dinner. Go shopping with your mother later. I'll take you to meet other ladies."

Xiao Mo rubbed her eyes dazedly, yawned, and gathered her coat around her shoulders: "Not today, I have something to do today."

"Didn't you say at dinner last night that you wouldn't go to Prince Chen's Mansion today?"

"Well, I have other things to do. Besides, interacting with dignitaries is not my strong point, nor do I like it, so you should go and have fun on your own."

Murong Shu lowered her eyes in disappointment, and the smile on her face gradually disappeared.

Xiao Mo didn't hear the sound, turned around and looked at her, and smiled helplessly: "I'm serious, next time, I'll go with you to meet them next time if there's a chance."

After receiving her further explanation, Murong Shu finally calmed down a little.

She thought she was making up an excuse just because she didn't want to go out with her.

On the long street, Shen Yun, dressed in white men's clothing, followed Xiao Mo. "Miss, did you really not make this impromptu decision because of what Madam said this morning?"

"of course not."

"That's right. Today is a holiday, so it's better for us to have fun on our own. It's hard to have fun with the elders around, haha."

Holiday? Xiao Mo stopped and looked at Shen Yun blankly: "What holiday is today?"

Shen Yun blinked in confusion: "You don't know? I thought you knew that's why you brought me out. Today is Chinese Valentine's Day."

Xiao Mo was stunned for a moment, her face froze instantly, and she pulled her back.

She looked back puzzledly: "What's wrong, Miss? We'll be at Magpie Bridge soon."

"What Magpie Bridge?" Xiao Mo stopped and turned to look at Shen Yun.

Shen Yun was shocked. She couldn't believe she would ask that. "This is West Street. There's only one bridge on West Street. It was built when Emperor Chang Wan was alive. Because there were marriage temples on both sides of the bridge a hundred years ago, Emperor Chang Wan named the bridge Magpie Bridge after it was built. Don't you know?"

She didn't grow up in the Imperial City, so how could she know, but...
