Chapter 312 Fool!
Yun Zhao changed his clothes and prepared to go to bed.
The door of the room was pushed open with a bang.
She frowned slightly, raised her head, and saw Xie Jingmo standing at the door, waving at her with a big smile, "Come out quickly, I made you something delicious."
Yun Zhao looked at Xie Jingmo, who had his shirt tucked around his waist with a bold posture.
"I'm not going. I'm going to sleep."
"Oh my..." Xie Jingmo walked over without saying anything and pulled the man up. "Let's go. It's delicious. I roasted it for you myself. It's beggar's chicken!"
Yun Zhao's eyes lit up.
But he was quickly suppressed, "The nanny who teaches etiquette said that dinner is easy to eat-"
"Why--"
Before he could finish his words, Yun Zhao was pulled up.
The air filled with the fragrance of lotus flowers came towards her, and Yun Zhao was pulled out. Then she heard Xie Jingmo say in front of her: "Silly, you still listen to those old stubborn people. I know the tricks in the palace best. They are just deliberately disgusting. You are the queen mother now. Eat whatever you want. Why do you care about those things?"
Yun Zhao was dragged out.
She saw Xie Jingmo turning his head with a smile on his face. He said, "You are so young, you can eat whatever you want. When you get older, it will be easy to get indigestion when you eat midnight snacks. Then you will regret it. Why don't you eat more now?"
Yun Zhao looked at Xie Jingmo's profile coldly.
The wind blew, the man's clothes and hair were disheveled, but his hearty laughter spread throughout the palace.
Xie Jingmo pulled Yun Zhao over to the fire. Fu Hai's face was flushed red by the fire. His eyes were bright and he squatted on the ground with a smile on his face, holding a chicken in his hand. "Yun Zhao, this is really delicious! It smells so good!"
Deputy General Gao was drinking on the side, laughing at Fuhai for being naive.
Xie Jingmo brought a stool and said to Yun Zhao, "Sit down," then he tore off a small piece of chicken leg and handed it to Yun Zhao.
Yun Zhao glanced at the shiny chicken leg and didn't move.
Xie Jingmo laughed, "Why? Do you dislike me? My hands are clean. If you don't believe me, ask Fu Hai."
Fu Hai nodded, "Yes, I saw General Xie washing his hands with soap with my own eyes, and he said this while washing his hands so that you wouldn't be disgusted."
Yun Zhao took the chicken leg.
Xie Jingmo half-knelt on the ground, looking at her with bright eyes, and asked, "Is it delicious?"
Yun Zhao nodded.
Xie Jingmo's smile widened. "The palace is not as good as the frontier. Those broken rules restrict people all day long." Xie Jingmo turned his head to meet Yun Zhao's eyes. "Look at your face. You don't have any flesh on you. You are not as pretty as before at the frontier. You were so beautiful before. Now you have a serious face all day long and act like a queen mother. It's pitiful."
Yun Zhao ate chicken legs and listened to him chattering.
Deputy General Gao got drunk and fell asleep on a stone pier.
Fu Hai curled up and looked at the stars.
Xie Jingmo sat next to the stone pestle, the dancing flames mixed with the crackling sound of firewood.
Xie Jingmo took out a handkerchief from his arms and leaned over.
Yun Zhao leaned back subconsciously.
"What are you afraid of?" Xie Jingmo held Yun Zhao's hand and let her wipe the grease off her hand. "I've seen everything on you." Xie Jingmo smiled and said, "That's enough for today. If you eat any more, you'll have indigestion. If you want to eat it next time, tell me and I'll make it for you."
As Xie Jingmo spoke, he wiped Yun Zhao's mouth again.
Yun Zhao said disdainfully, "Why do you wipe your hands first and then your mouth?"
Xie Jingmo smiled helplessly, "That's your mouth, isn't it? I didn't feel disgusted when I wiped myself, but you do. Okay, I'll tidy up here, you go in and sleep."
Yun Zhao stood up.
Xie Jingmo smiled and raised his head, "Oh my god! Yun Zhaozhao, do you have any conscience? I told you to go to sleep, and you really went. You didn't even bother to keep me company."
Xie Jingmo shook his head, "You are not as considerate as before."
Yun Zhao frowned, "I'm no longer the person I used to be at the frontier."
Xie Jingmo paused for a moment while collecting the firewood on the ground, then smiled bitterly, "Okay, got it, go in and sleep."
This time, Yun Zhao did not move immediately.
Instead, he blinked and asked, "...I...am not as good-looking as when I was at the frontier?"
Upon hearing this, Xie Jingmo put down the firewood in his hand and stood up.
With his hands behind his back, he leaned over and looked at Yun Zhao for a moment.
"Fool!"
"Just kidding!"
"You have big eyes and a high nose bridge, you always look good!"
Xie Jingmo watched Yun Zhao returning to the house and laughed.
No matter how much time has passed or what position she holds, Yun Zhao is still the little girl at the border who cares about her appearance.
After packing up, Xie Jingmo woke up Fu Hai and Deputy General Gao and asked them to go back to their rooms to sleep.
Deputy General Gao pointed to Yun Zhao's room and asked, "Are you still guarding it?"
Xie Jingmo nodded, "After the first assassination attempt by Yu Xiang's men, there will be a second one. I will guard it myself. I feel at ease. You can go and rest."
Deputy General Gao yawned, "Your sleep schedule is completely reversed. You only slept for a short while while Yun Zhao was at court. Is that enough?"
Xie Jingmo nodded, "That's enough, just don't say anything more to her."
Deputy General Gao and Fu Hai waved goodbye and left.
Mu Chengyan was upset all night.
His original plan last night was to have a happy dinner with Yun Zhao, and then invite Yun Zhao to his house.
Then-
Without further ado, is physical desire important between men and women?
He felt that it also happened between him and Yun Zhao.
He hoped to prove it with this, but he didn't expect that yesterday's meeting would end in a rather unpleasant mood.
So, Mu Chengyan came to Yun Zhao early the next morning to apologize.
But I didn't expect it.
Mu Chengyan had just stepped in when he saw Xie Jingmo coming out of Yun Zhao's room.
The apology that Mu Chengyan had prepared in his mind disappeared at this moment.
He narrowed his eyes and looked at Xie Jingmo coldly, "How come you came out from inside!"
Xie Jingmo glanced at him and washed his face without any emotion. "Is it strange? This is not the first time you have seen me come out of this room."
Mu Chengyan was furious and was about to yell.
Then he heard Xie Jingmo say in a cold voice: "She's still sleeping in there! If you wake her up, I'll kill you!"
Mu Chengyan's eyes were bloodshot, "Who do you think you are? Kill me! Come and try if you dare!"
Xie Jingmo sneered when he heard this, "Are you looking for a fight so early in the morning? Or are you pretending to be innocent and weak again? Mu Chengyan, you used to be quite manly, how did you become like this now? To be honest, I'm too lazy to beat you up."
Mu Chengyan said coldly, "Really? That's much better than pretending to be pitiful in front of Yun Zhao. If you are capable, don't come to this palace again!"
Yun Zhao heard Mu Chengyan talking outside while he was inside.
After washing up, she opened the door of the room.
"What are you guys arguing about so early in the morning?"
The two people at the door laughed and said in unison, "Nothing."
When Yun Zhao went to court, Mu Chengyan said to Xie Jingmo in a gentle voice, "General Xie, you must remember to copy the scriptures a hundred times. This is a punishment ordered by the Queen Mother herself. Otherwise, you will not be allowed to attend court."
Xie Jingmo narrowed his eyes and watched Mu Chengyan follow Yun Zhao as the two of them went to court.
At the foot of Yanggu.
Mu Chengyan leaned over to Yun Zhao and whispered something to him.
