Chapter 98 "As long as I remember, I will come to you."

The welcoming banquet was specially held for the victorious soldiers, and all important officials in the court could attend the banquet with their wives and children.

The banquet was filled with all kinds of delicacies. The dishes carefully prepared by the imperial chefs were fragrant and mouth-watering.

The jade belts and golden ornaments, the candles burning brightly, the singing and dancing are so peaceful and harmonious that it makes people intoxicated.

Emperor Suian first lavishly rewarded the emperor and said many words of praise. Only after he had said everything he needed to say did he start to eat.

Chu Mo sat in the front row, lowered his eyes to look at the wine glass, and sighed slightly in his heart.

Sure enough, after a while, someone came to toast him.

Chu Mo had no reason to refuse, even though he was already extremely anxious.

After one person left, another came, and this continued. I became more and more anxious, and I didn't even eat much.

Suddenly, a low laugh came from my ear.

Chu Mo looked over and met Jing Ce's gloating eyes, "Your Highness..."

Jing Ce didn't look at him. His eyes fell on a little girl in the women's seat, but he said to him: "Want to find Yu Yu?"

Chu Mo rubbed his brows and said, "I finally came back, but it's hard to talk to her."

"So miserable?" Jing Ce raised his eyebrows and smiled wickedly: "Before the banquet, I talked to her for a long time."

Chu Mo: “…”

Jing Ce: "Xuanxuan is very well behaved. She kept saying that she missed me a lot and told me what she did during this period and what interesting things happened. She is very considerate."

Chu Mo: “…”

envious! envy! !

Jing Ce: "Poor someone, she only said a few words at the palace gate. The key is that she still can't remember you. Who knows, she might still think you are weird."

Chu Mo: “!!”

How is that possible! !

His head got hot and he didn't want to care about anything anymore, he just wanted to leave.

Just at this moment, the little girl at the end of the sight stood up and left the banquet alone without letting the servants follow her.

"Go ahead." Jing Ce said, "I'll help you block it."

"Thank you very much."

Chu Mo only had time to say thank you before leaving without looking back.

Wen Qingjue on the side raised his eyebrows, "He is going to..."

"Looking for love." Jing Ce opened his lips lightly.

Wen Qingjue had a good relationship with him and spoke freely. Thinking about what happened at the palace gate in the afternoon, he raised the corner of his mouth and said, "Looking for your sister?"

Jing Ce: “…”

“This is a good feeling.”

"roll!!"

…

On the other side, Jing Xuan left the palace and walked alone to the pavilion by the lake. She was wearing a thick cloak and holding a hot water bottle in her hand, so she was not too cold.

Although the palace was lively, it was too stuffy and she didn't like it.

Looking at the lake quietly, my thoughts gradually drift away.

Most importantly…

The little princess buried her face in the white fluff at the collar of her cloak, leaving only a pair of clear and clean eyes full of shyness and timidity.

They say beauty lies beneath the lamp, and it is true. The candles in the hall were burning brightly, and the candlelight shone on the man in the distance, making his already handsome face even more stunning, and she couldn't take her eyes off him.

Jing Xuan secretly despised her, thinking that she was so superficial that she only cared about General Chu's appearance and was not very polite.

but……

"So handsome~"

Jing Xuan sighed softly, and then shyly hid her little face, rubbing the white fur. It was as if a bunch of fireworks exploded in her heart, and she was so happy: "Hehe, so handsome~~"

"Hmm?" A deep voice entered Jing Xuan's ears. He seemed to be smiling, and the slightly lingering ending tone was like a feather, making her heart feel itchy and soft.

Jing Xuan turned around abruptly and met the gentle and doting eyes when she lowered her eyes. A familiar voice came to her ears again: "Who is the little princess praising?"

His voice was deep and powerful, with a lingering smile, so beautiful that it warmed my ears and made them blush instantly.

Glancing at the little ears with only the tip of the ears showing through the fur, Chu Mo's smile deepened. He bent down slightly, looked at the little girl straight in the eye, and said softly, "Why don't you answer Chu's question, little princess?"

Too close! !

Jing Xuan's cheeks flushed, and she took a few steps back in panic, hesitating, "I didn't praise anyone..."

Chu Mo raised his eyebrows and sighed regretfully: "Really? It seems that Chu is too arrogant."

He looked slightly annoyed, as if he was really frustrated and lost.

Jing Xuan's eyes widened slightly and she shook her head quickly: "No! I, I was praising you..."

"General Chu is very handsome, very beautiful." She buried her little face in the fur again, looked at him obediently with her clear eyes, and said in a muffled voice: "But, but I don't want you to think that I am..."

Chu Mo's voice was slightly hoarse: "Very what?"

The girl looked away uncomfortably and muttered, "So superficial and rude."

Chu Mo was stunned.

"The general is intelligent, skilled in martial arts, virtuous and talented, extraordinary, with great military exploits, and awe-inspiring..." She said a string of words without repeating herself until she saw the bright smile in his eyes, then she quickly stopped talking and lowered her eyes guiltily: "But I only paid attention to appearance, was rude to you, and was superficial. I was wrong."

No one knew what Chu Mo was thinking at this moment. Looking at the shy little girl in front of him clutching the corner of her clothes with a cute look of anger, he felt his heart was about to jump out of his throat, and it hurt his chest.

"Little Princess..." The gentle call almost became a whisper. He bent down again, his peach blossom eyes smiling gently, looking into her round almond eyes, and whispered, "I am also superficial."

Jing Xuan tilted her head, full of confusion.

"Chu likes it most when people praise my good looks. Her voice was so gentle that it seemed like water was about to drip out of it: "It's not rude. Every word you say makes me happy. ”

He will always remember that in his dream, the little princess took advantage of the fact that no one could hear her thoughts and praised him countless times in her heart for being handsome and good-looking.

When he was young, he was proud of his outstanding appearance, but later he no longer cared about his appearance. But now, he is especially grateful to his parents for giving him a handsome face.

Jing Yu was shocked: "General Chu is so superficial!"

Chu Mo choked and sighed helplessly: "Yes, so...little princess, don't feel guilty, just do what you want and say what you want."

Jing Yu was stunned, and looked into his dark and deep eyes, pursed her lips and smiled, and said softly: "General Chu, handsome!"

"The little princess is also very beautiful." Chu Mo's eyelashes trembled slightly, and his expression was very serious, so serious that Jing Yu blushed.

After waking up from the dream, Jing Xuan regained her true appearance, which was the face that Chu Mo had memorized inch by inch many years ago.

Many years ago, he was unable to get the love he wanted, but now...he finally got what he wanted.

The winter wind blew, lifting the sleeves and hair of the two people. In the quiet pavilion surrounded by green plants, one of them lowered his eyes slightly, and the other raised his head, with bright smiles on the corners of their mouths, they looked at each other quietly and silently.

General Chu has such beautiful eyes, Jing Yu thought.

There was an unbreakable tenderness in his dark and narrow eyes. Without the sharpness and hostility of the past, the love deep in his eyes was shown to the one he loved without any concealment.

Jing Xuan felt a burning sensation in her heart. She didn't dare to look at him again and lowered her head silently.

"Is it cold?" Chu Mo asked.

Jing Xuan shook her head and buried her delicate chin in the fluff without raising her head.

He is so gentle, so gentle that it makes people's heart beat fast. But... the more I palpitated, the clearer Wen Xu's words became in my mind -

"Didn't you forget? Will General Chu be unhappy?"

Will he be unhappy?

Jing Yu was extremely distressed and wanted to ask but didn't dare to speak out loud.

This tangled and uneasy feeling made her feel helpless.

Someone once said that when love strikes, it is accompanied by joy and...fear of loss.

——Are you worried about gains and losses?

Jing Xuan inadvertently puffed up her cheeks, and her fair and smooth face looked even softer under the fluffy white hair, which immediately attracted Chu Mo's attention.

Before she could say anything, she heard the little princess hesitantly say, "I... forgot."

Chu Mo was slightly stunned.

"I'm sorry..."

"Little princess." Chu Mo sighed softly, and finally couldn't help but raise his hand to rub Jing Xuan's furry head.

The latter looked up in confusion and looked at him questioningly.

"I like you." Facing her clear amber eyes, Chu Mo said word by word: "I have liked you for many years."

For a moment, Jing Xuan's eyes widened, and she felt her heart skip a beat. The chaotic heartbeat was irregular, like a deer bumping into the ground, or like the beating of a drum.

Chu Mo had no intention of scaring her, and his voice became softer, "So... don't worry."

"It doesn't matter if you forget, because I remember. As long as I remember, I will come to find you."

"I once said - a thousand miles is too far, I don't want you to go there, you just need to be free and worry-free as before, and I will do my best to come to you."

Chu Mo bent down slightly, his smiling eyes full of tenderness, "As long as you are safe and sound, and smile at me, the hardships along the way will not be worth mentioning."

"Don't hesitate. Even if you forget, I will tell you word for word, once, twice, three times... It doesn't matter. As long as you want to hear it, I will tell you without getting tired of it."

"To us, tomorrow is more important. I want to walk into the future with you."

A burst of heat suddenly rushed to the tip of her nose, her eyes became sore, and her clear eyes were filled with mist. Jing Yu bit her lip, stubbornly holding back her tears, but she couldn't help but took two steps forward and grabbed the corner of Chu Mo's clothes, and rested her forehead on his chest stiffly but boldly.

The violent heartbeat beside his ear was almost the same as hers. Chu Mo was also palpitating and nervous. He was not as calm and composed as he appeared.

Such a powerful and majestic general had his heart beating like a drum because of her, and plunged into the deep love like a young boy.

Jing Xuan felt her heart swell and warm, and an indescribable satisfaction and joy filled her whole body, as if it was about to seep out from every pore.

"Chu Mo, I like you too..."

The arms that had been empty for a long time were once again filled by his beloved. Chu Mo's fingertips trembled slightly as he carefully held her thin shoulders, not daring to use any strength.

"I want to know everything in the dream." Jing Yu said in a muffled voice.

"Okay." Chu Mo chuckled, "I'll tell you."

He told her everything in his dream in detail, from the time he picked up the kitten in the small village, to how he could hear his heart, to how they fell in love with each other, and finally to when he woke up from the dream.

Chu Mo handed her the cat jade pendant that he was wearing close to his body. Jing Yu was slightly surprised: "Is this me?"

"Um."

"So well-behaved?" Jing Xuan raised her chin slightly, full of pride: "Sure enough, this princess is always the prettiest."

Chu Mo: "Yeah, very well behaved and very pretty."

His serious attitude made Jing Yu feel quite embarrassed.

The two talked for a long time and stayed together for a long time. They didn't realize that time passed very quickly and the dinner was almost over.

It was not until Jing Ce sent a young eunuch to deliver a message that the two of them smiled at each other and then returned to the palace.
