Chapter 209 I found him, but he couldn’t find me.
Xiao Mo stopped and his eyes fell on the woman standing in front of him.
He waved his hand gently and ordered, "Go and get a jar of the best osmanthus wine."
"Okay, Your Majesty." Wei Xun quickly bowed and retreated.
After Wei Xun left, Xiao Mo walked up to the woman and asked, "What is Fairy Jiang looking at?"
Jiang Qingyi didn't look away, still looking up, and asked with some curiosity: "What is this watchtower used for?"
"This watchtower is actually of no great use. It's just that when the rulers of the Zhou Dynasty felt bored dealing with government affairs, they would come here to climb up and look into the distance, which was a way to relax." Xiao Mo replied.
Jiang Qingyi nodded gently, then asked, "Does Your Majesty usually come here?"
"That won't happen." Xiao Mo smiled and said truthfully, "First of all, I don't have any government affairs to deal with. Secondly, this watchtower is too high. I'm afraid I'll be exhausted if I go up there."
Jiang Qingyi turned her head and looked at Xiao Mo with blinking eyes.
"What's wrong?" Xiao Mo asked with some confusion.
"Nothing." Jiang Qingyi shook her head and turned her gaze towards the watchtower again.
Xiao Mo then suggested, "Fairy Jiang, do you want to go up and take a look?"
"Your Majesty, don't you want to go up?" Jiang Qingyi asked.
"It's boring to go up alone, but it would be different if you go up with friends." Xiao Mo said with a smile.
Jiang Qingyi was silent for a moment, then agreed, "Okay."
As soon as she finished speaking, Jiang Qingyi grabbed Xiao Mo's wrist, jumped up, and landed lightly on the watchtower.
The two stood side by side on the top of the watchtower, gazing at the scenery before them.
The breeze blew by, gently lifting their clothes and brushing their cheeks and hair.
Although the wind is a bit chilly, it makes people feel more relaxed and happy.
Standing on this watchtower, you can have a panoramic view of the entire palace.
Although Zhou was only a small country, this palace was built quite magnificently.
This was also the first time that Xiao Mo saw the complete appearance of the palace with his own eyes.
Jiang Qingyi spoke calmly and asked Xiao Mo, "Isn't your Majesty's bedroom on the other side? Why are you here?"
Xiao Mo placed his hands lightly on the railing and looked into the distance: "The Queen Mother invited me to Lingxin Palace today to reminisce about the past and try on my wedding dress. I just came out."
"Oh." Jiang Qingyi just responded softly.
Silence fell between the two again.
But Xiao Mo didn't feel embarrassed at all.
During these days together, it has become common for them to remain silent with each other. Fairy Jiang is not a talkative person.
After half an incense stick of time, Jiang Qingyi suddenly asked:
"Is your Majesty's queen...beautiful?"
"Huh?" Xiao Mo was slightly stunned. He didn't expect her to ask this suddenly.
"She should be considered very beautiful..." Xiao Mo replied, "After all, she is known as the most talented woman in Zhou State and the most beautiful woman in Zhou State. However, I have never seen her in person."
As he spoke, Xiao Mo's voice gradually lowered, and he sighed softly: "In fact, this Miss Yan is also a pitiful person. She is both talented and beautiful. She may not want to enter the palace at all, but she was born in such a noble family. I am afraid she has no choice."
"hehe."
As soon as Xiao Mo finished speaking, Jiang Qingyi laughed coldly.
"What's wrong with Fairy Jiang?" Xiao Mo noticed that her tone was different.
This Fairy Jiang seems to have some opinions about Yan Ruxue.
"Nothing." Jiang Qingyi turned her head and looked to the other side, with a hint of displeasure in her expression.
“.”
She didn't say anything, and Xiao Mo didn't ask any further questions.
After spending so much time with Fairy Jiang, he has gradually become accustomed to her occasional mood swings.
While the two continued to quietly gaze at the distant scenery, Wei Xun had already arrived at the bottom of the watchtower with a jar of osmanthus wine, waving his hands upwards.
"What's the matter with him?" Jiang Qingyi glanced at Wei Xun and asked lightly.
"I just told him to get a jar of the best osmanthus wine." Xiao Mo explained with a smile.
Jiang Qingyi frowned slightly.
The next moment, she stretched out her hand and hooked the wine jar in Wei Xun's hand in the air. The jar of osmanthus wine flew up and landed steadily in her palm in the blink of an eye.
She opened the wine seal, turned around and drank. The clear wine slid down her fair jaw and slightly wet her clothes.
Wiping the corner of her lips casually, Jiang Qingyi threw the wine jar to Xiao Mo and said simply, "Drink."
Xiao Mo: "..."
"Why?" Jiang Qingyi's tone carried a hint of threat. "Is it because I drank that you dislike it?"
"That's not the case." Xiao Mo smiled and took the wine jar. "Since Fairy Jiang doesn't care, what else can I say?"
After saying that, he picked up the wine jar and drank from it.
Looking at Xiao Mo's lips pressed against the place where she had just drunk, the woman's fair cheeks under the veil couldn't help but blush.
Xiao Mo put down the wine jar, wiped the corner of his mouth, and praised: "This wine is really good."
"Yes, it's okay." Jiang Qingyi responded softly, leaning gently against the fence.
"By the way, Fairy Jiang, is there anything that makes you unhappy?" Xiao Mo suddenly asked, looking at her profile.
Jiang Qingyi tilted her head and asked, "Why do you ask this suddenly?"
"Because I often see the fairy alone in a trance, as if she has a lot on her mind." Xiao Mo answered gently.
"Nothing." Jiang Qingyi snatched the osmanthus wine from Xiao Mo's hand, tilted her head and took a sip, "I'm just looking for someone."
"one person?"
"Yeah." Jiang Qingyi bent down and put her arms on the railing.
"Is this person very important to Fairy Jiang?"
"unimportant."
“.”
Xiao Mo felt that Fairy Jiang seemed a bit contradictory.
It’s not important, so why are you still looking for it?
"What's with that expression, Your Majesty?" Jiang Qingyi looked at Xiao Mo's speechless eyes, her eyes dimmed.
Xiao Mo shook his head: "No, I was just wondering, what will Fairy Jiang do after she finds that important yet unimportant person?"
Jiang Qingyi took another sip of wine.
Perhaps because of the wine, she talked a lot today.
"After finding him"
Jiang Qingyi held the wine jar tightly in her fair palm.
"I want to tell him that I've grown up and am no longer the little girl I used to be. I've fulfilled my original promise and become a capable swordsman.
but.
You are no longer here."
Listening to her gentle words, Xiao Mo smiled and said, "This person is indeed very important to Fairy Jiang."
"I said! It's not important!" Jiang Qingyi said seriously.
"Okay, that's not important." Xiao Mo followed the woman's words, "But I believe that Fairy Jiang will definitely find the other person, and he will definitely be pleased with your current achievements."
"What if we find him?"
Jiang Qingyi tucked her hair behind her ears, and her sword-like starry eyes seemed to have been blown by wind and sand for thousands of years.
After a long time, Jiang Qingyi turned her head and looked directly into Xiao Mo's eyes:
“I found him.
But he couldn’t find me.”
