Chapter 360 What if you get tired of reading it?
After returning to his residence, Xiao Mo sat in his study, recalling the conversation he had with the King of Qin in the imperial study.
To be honest, Xiao Mo felt that he probably shouldn't be saying these things now.
Because this reform involved too many aspects, and most of those who implemented the reform did not have good endings.
However, Xiao Mo felt that Qin was now under a wise ruler with mutual trust between the monarch and his ministers, and that it was the right time for reforms. Even if they were not fully implemented, they could at least lay a foundation.
Otherwise, if we wait until the next ruler, it's really hard to say what will happen.
As for his own safety.
In Xiao Mo's view, with his reputation and prestige in Qin, plus tens of thousands of Snow-Treading Dragon Riders, no one really dared to touch him.
However, Xiao Mo didn't know whether the emperor would implement the reforms.
Regardless of the circumstances, he had already planted a seed in the heart of the King of Qin.
What happens next can only be discussed later.
"Hmph! You stinky father! You stinky second brother! I'm ignoring them! I'm never talking to them again!"
Just as Xiao Mo was pondering, the woman's angry voice came in.
Not long after, Qin Siyao stormed into Xiao Mo's study.
"What's wrong with the Second Prince again?" Xiao Mo asked with a smile.
Qin Siyao sat next to Xiao Mo, her legs together, her small hands on her thighs, and puffed out her pink cheeks as she said, "My eldest brother just brought me some books. They all talk about how to be a good wife and how to take care of your husband. He also personally told me to be magnanimous and not to hold grudges against Father and my second brother."
What does that mean?
My older brother said I'm not like a wife, but more like a little girl, and that I'm stingy!
"It was clearly my second brother who stole our wedding date."
"It's nothing," Xiao Mo said with a smile. "The Second Prince didn't do it on purpose. After all, a marriage alliance between Qin and Jin is no small matter, so it's best to get it done as soon as possible. Besides, it doesn't matter whether we get married sooner or later. What, does Siyao want to run away? Does she not want to marry me?"
"I'm not running away!" Qin Siyao leaned closer to Xiao Mo and tugged at his clothes tightly. "Even if you run to the ends of the earth, I'll catch up with you. You can't shake off this princess anymore."
"well."
Xiao Mo smiled and tucked a strand of her hair behind her ear.
Looking at Xiao Mo's face, Qin Siyao's cheeks flushed slightly, and she lowered her head shyly.
In the study, only Xiao Mo and Qin Siyao were there, undisturbed. As the woman felt the warmth of her beloved's hand, a beautiful blush gradually spread from her cheeks to her ears.
Qin Siyao's heart pounded faster and faster, and she couldn't help but raise her head, wanting to get closer to her beloved.
"Siyao, it snowed again yesterday. I've been thinking of a place. Want to go check it out together?"
Just as Qin Siyao was feeling somewhat dazed, Xiao Mo spoke up.
"What place?" Qin Siyao came to her senses and quietly loosened her grip on Xiao Mo's clothes.
"You'll see when we get there. Let's go."
Xiao Mo pulled Qin Siyao out of the study and rode the Snow-Treading Horse towards the outskirts of the city.
As the snow-treading horse gradually came to a stop, Xiao Mo led Qin Siyao to the foot of a mountain.
"Close your eyes," Xiao Mo said.
"Ooh." Qin Siyao nodded and obediently closed her eyes.
Xiao Mo carried the woman in his arms and flew towards the mountaintop.
Before long, Xiao Mo gently placed Qin Siyao on the ground, and the woman's small feet made a "crunch" sound as she walked on the snow.
"Alright, you can open your eyes now," Xiao Mo said.
Qin Siyao opened her eyes.
Upon seeing everything before her, the woman's beautiful, glassy eyes shone with a crystalline luster.
The pines, firs, bamboos, and cypresses in the mountains and valleys are all bent deeply towards the ground by the thick snow, lying silently.
The icicles hanging from the branches, when illuminated by the sunlight, refracted into a cold, knife-like gleam.
The lake not far below the mountain has become a single piece of solid green jade, with fine cracks in the ice, like the frozen blood vessels of the earth.
The outlines of the mountains softened in the twilight, as if painted with very light ink on plain silk.
The snow-covered mountain ridges undulate, connecting with the iron-gray cloud bases on the horizon, making it impossible to distinguish where the mountain ends and the sky begins.
A pale, chilly twilight had already descended upon the mountain valley, rising in wisps from the frozen lake and the shivering forest, as if enveloping this crystal world in its hazy dream.
That night you took me to the lakeside and gave me a view of the lake. I was thinking about how to repay you.
When I last set off for the Northern Wilderness, I happened to pass by that lake, so I wandered around and came to this mountaintop. I thought this place must be beautiful in the snow season.
"So, what do you think? Does it look good?"
Xiao Mo stood beside the woman and asked softly.
"Yes! It's beautiful!" Looking at the towering mountains, Qin Siyao's eyes shone with joy.
After a while, Qin Siyao turned her eyes away from the distance and turned to Xiao Mo, saying, "Xiao Mo, sit there for a moment."
"What's wrong?" Xiao Mo asked.
"Just sit there."
Qin Siyao pulled Xiao Mo's hand and walked back, pressing him down to sit on a rock on the mountaintop.
After Xiao Mo sat down, Qin Siyao ran forward again, walked to the edge of the cliff, picked up a branch from the snow, cleared her throat, and bowed to Xiao Mo with her sword in her hands: "Such a beautiful scene, how can there be no dance? I'll make a fool of myself."
As soon as she finished speaking, Qin Siyao used a tree branch as a sword and danced gracefully in the white snow.
Every time the pink and white palace dress fluttered, it seemed to carry the translucent white snow.
The snowflakes, like flower petals, danced on the tip of the woman's sword before slowly falling.
Looking up, I saw fluffy white clouds interwoven with the azure sky.
Looking down, one sees towering mountains covered in silver.
Looking ahead, one sees a graceful woman dancing with a sword, every movement exuding elegance and gentleness.
"How is it? Does it look good?"
As the last corner of the woman's skirt fell, she smiled gently in the snow, as if a snow goddess were asking you, "Is winter beautiful?"
"It looks good." Xiao Mo came back to his senses and nodded.
Hearing her beloved's praise, the woman happily stepped forward.
But soon, as if remembering something, the woman lowered her head in disappointment, clutching the hem of his shirt:
"Xiao Mo, I actually know that too."
I know that all I can do is study music, chess, calligraphy, and painting.
There are many other things that I can't do well.
I learned to cook from Aunt Zhou for so long, but I still couldn't cook very well.
I wanted to make you a pair of shoes, but no matter how I made them, they looked terrible.
Moreover, I, as a wife, wasn't very forgiving; I was angry for many days because of the postponement of our wedding.
but"
The woman raised her head and looked into Xiao Mo's eyes.
"But Xiao Mo, I will definitely study hard."
I will also learn to cook.
I will also make shoes and clothes for you.
I will also try to be more magnanimous and composed, and be a sensible and understanding Frost Queen.
Xiao Mo, you...
Will you dislike me?
"It's no use complaining, His Majesty has already bestowed the marriage upon us," Xiao Mo joked.
"You," Qin Siyao pouted, tears welling in the corners of her eyes, as if they were about to fall at any moment.
"Silly girl, I was just joking." Xiao Mo smiled and reached out a finger to wipe away the tears from Qin Siyao's eyes. "How could I possibly dislike you?"
"Really?" Qin Siyao blinked as she looked at Xiao Mo.
“Of course it’s true,” Xiao Mo replied. “And who said you’re useless? Siyao’s sword dance is also very beautiful.”
"But you get tired of watching sword dances."
"I never get tired of looking at it."
"But what if you get tired of it?"
"What does Siyao suggest we do?"
Well...
Qin Siyao thought about it seriously for a moment, and then her eyes lit up.
"I've got it!"
If you're tired of watching me dance with my sword.
Then you have to love me for the rest of your life, and never get tired of me.
