We Agreed On Experiencing Life, So Why Did You Immortals Become Real?

“Husband… you should… you should blow out the candles…”

Qin Siyao bashfully lowered her head.

Xiao Mo looked at Qin Siyao’s appearance, his heart inevitably rising with a trace of guilt.

If this were an ordinary wedding, if he weren’t an emperor, even if this wedding ceremony only married one person, Xiao Mo felt the situation would be considerably better than now but at this moment, Xiao Mo felt in his heart that he truly wasn’t being a proper person.

On the other side, seeing Xiao Mo’s somewhat guilty appearance, Qin Siyao seemed to understand something. Her eyes blinked gently as she smiled and said,

“Could it be that tonight, Your Majesty elder brother isn’t staying here with this concubine, but rather going to Elder Sister Ruxue’s place?”

Xiao Mo, whose thoughts had been guessed, raised his head and looked at Qin Siyao. No longer concealing it, he said frankly, “According to protocol, both your and Ruxue’s red veils must be lifted tonight. However, you and Ruxue are both ‘Imperial Consorts’ with equal status. If I lift your red veil first, then lift Ruxue’s red veil, then tonight I need to stay at Ning Xue Palace. Mujiu, I apologize. I’m afraid I can only come keep you company tomorrow.”

Xiao Mo stood up, bowed in apology, and spoke with a sincere tone.

“Why must Your Majesty elder brother do this?”

Qin Siyao also quickly stood up, helped Xiao Mo rise, her eyes seemingly full of sincerity in thinking of Xiao Mo.

“Actually, this concubine can understand Your Majesty elder brother. Currently, the Yan clan controls Zhou Kingdom’s court affairs. If Your Majesty elder brother stays the night with Mujiu tonight, the Yan clan will surely harbor resentment. The situation would definitely be unfavorable for Your Majesty elder brother then. Since that’s the case, how could younger sister be so insensible?”

“Mujiu…”

Hearing Qin Mujiu’s understanding words, Xiao Mo didn’t know what to say for a moment.

Actually, even if Qin Mujiu got angry, Xiao Mo could understand but Xiao Mo hadn’t expected Mujiu to be so understanding.

This instead made Xiao Mo’s heart feel even more guilty and want to properly compensate her in the future.

Sili, who was eavesdropping outside the door, was also somewhat shocked.

She had also thought this Qin Kingdom eldest princess would be very angry.

After all, she wasn’t someone without status.

This eldest princess had been pampered and protected since childhood yet on the wedding night, after her husband lifted the red veil, he was about to leave…

Sili felt that even if it were herself, she would have some temper with Master but this eldest princess not only wasn’t angry but was thinking of Master in every way…

“However, can Your Majesty elder brother tell Mujiu whether it’s because of the Yan clan’s reasons, or whether Your Majesty elder brother truly wants to go to Elder Sister Ruxue’s place, that you’re going to spend the night at Elder Sister Ruxue’s?”

Qin Siyao asked gently.

“Mujiu has no other meaning. I just want to know what Your Majesty thinks. No matter how Your Majesty answers, Mujiu won’t throw a tantrum.”

Xiao Mo shook his head. “It’s not because of the Yan clan’s power. This was my decision made by tossing a jade pendant. This method is indeed improper, but it’s the most fair.”

“So it’s Elder Sister Ruxue’s luck that’s better than Mujiu’s.” Qin Siyao’s eyes curved, as if relieved. “If that’s the case, then there’s nothing more to say. As long as Mujiu knows that Your Majesty elder brother has Mujiu in his heart, that’s enough.”

Xiao Mo sighed softly and looked directly into her eyes. “Mujiu, in the future, I will properly compensate you.”

“Mm.” Qin Mujiu responded lightly with a smile. “These are Your Majesty’s own words. Mujiu will wait for Your Majesty…”

“Rest assured, I always keep my word.”

Xiao Mo solemnly promised her.

Xiao Mo finally said a few more words to Qin Siyao, telling her to rest well first, then left Qin Siyao’s room.

Qin Siyao stood at the door, watching Xiao Mo walk further and further away until he left her Han Jiu Palace, until he disappeared into the night.

“Husband…”

Qin Siyao looked in the direction Xiao Mo had left, her hands clasped in front of her, the corners of her mouth curving up slightly.

“Siyao isn’t as magnanimous as husband thinks…”

“Siyao can yield anything, but husband alone, Siyao cannot yield.”

…

After leaving Qin Siyao’s bedchamber, before long, Xiao Mo arrived at Ning Xue Palace.

Compared to going to Han Jiu Palace just now, Xiao Mo’s heart was even more nervous at this moment.

For no other reason.

For Xiao Mo, he was more familiar with Qin Mujiu. After all, they had interacted quite a few times before and had gained some understanding of each other but regarding this Zhou Kingdom’s foremost talented woman, Xiao Mo had never met her. At most, he had only heard of her reputation and knew she was proficient in music, chess, calligraphy, painting, poetry, and verse.

Most crucial was that because of Empress Dowager Yan and Yan Shan’ao’s relationship, Xiao Mo’s impression of the entire Yan clan wasn’t very good.

So by extension, Xiao Mo’s impression of Yan Ruxue also wasn’t very good.

Even though Xiao Mo knew Yan Ruxue was also a pitiful person.

Knew she was merely a sacrifice of her clan but her identity as a member of the Yan clan truly made it difficult for Xiao Mo to feel at ease.

Arriving at the main room entrance of Ning Xue Palace, Xiao Mo collected his thoughts. After having Sili guard the door, he then pushed open the door and walked into the bedroom.

Like Qin Siyao, Yan Ruxue sat on the red bridal bed, legs together, her skirt hem clinging tightly to her proportionate, slender legs.

Even though it was relatively loose red wedding attire, when worn on Yan Ruxue’s body, her prominently rising chest was also extremely exaggerated.

In Xiao Mo’s view, even if Sili saw it, she would probably have to concede a point.

Xiao Mo stepped forward, picked up the jade steelyard, and gently lifted the woman’s red veil.

When Yan Ruxue’s countenance that captivated the entire world appeared before Xiao Mo’s eyes.

When red candlelight reflected her myriad colors.

When her eyes gently lifted, looking tenderly toward Xiao Mo.

Xiao Mo also stood in place, staring blankly at her.

Compared to Qin Siyao’s somewhat playful and pure appearance, Miss Yan had more mature steadiness, dignified elegance.

As if you could entrust all your affairs to her to handle.

As if she could manage everything for you, and you needn’t worry about anything.

Of course, what made Xiao Mo lose himself wasn’t only because of Yan Ruxue’s beauty.

It was because he had seen this woman before him before!

“Miss?”

Xiao Mo looked at her in surprise.

He never would have thought that this talented woman of the Yan family was actually the woman in the palace for whom he had retrieved the kite.

Also the refined young lady who drank tea and conversed with him during the lake excursion.

And also the one who accompanied him to Hundred Lamps Temple during the New Year and hung New Year wishes together.

Yan Ruxue’s lips smiled, her beautiful peach blossom eyes lifting in a faint arc. The cat-tail-like corners of her eyes curved gently. Though charming, it wasn’t at all seductive, even giving a feeling of lightness, like spring breeze blowing across the lake surface, raising faint ripples.

“Young Master, we meet again.”
