Chapter 161 Return to Southern Xinjiang?
Chapter 161 Return to Southern Xinjiang?
Muyuan - located at the junction of Lanling County and Liujia Town, with Guangming Lake in front and Zisu Mountain in the back, is a Feng Shui treasure land that gathers the essence of heaven and earth and the beauty of mountains and rivers.
The garden is long and wide from north to south, narrow from east to west, and symmetrical. It is planted with pomegranate trees. At first glance, it is a sea of bright red, as if in full bloom.
Handan told Mu Yao that the pomegranate tree in the courtyard was specially planted by the emperor. Mu Yao instantly understood what Ji Qi meant, and two red clouds appeared on her cheeks.
Ji Qi stood in front of the window and watched the beautiful girl coming towards him.
When their eyes met, Mu Yao's expression tensed, and she lowered her head slightly and quickened her pace.
"Why did you hide when you saw me?" Ji Qi's face darkened, and he stared at the person he thought about day and night with displeasure.
"How could I hide?" Mu Yao pursed her red lips guiltily and raised her eyes to meet his deep gaze.
Ji Qi stood with his hands behind his back, looking very imposing. The purple robe with golden embroidery made his handsome figure look ascetic. His eyes still held the aloofness and coldness that would not tolerate anyone's questioning.
"You didn't hide, so why didn't you dare look me in the eye just now?"
He was so busy that he didn't even have time to go to bed. Even though he was so busy, he still went against everyone's advice and drove ten days to Dayun to pick up Mu Yao. Today, when he saw her, there was no smile on her face and she was dodging everywhere. How could he bear it!
Mu Yao's heart suddenly ignited a huge flame due to Ji Qi's attitude.
It seems that he wants to have a good talk with me about this issue?
They both have a bad temper, but why is Wei Wushang so much cuter than this man!
Mu Yao stared at Ji Qi for three breaths with cold eyes, then turned around and walked out of the room.
She took nearly an hour to get here in the hot weather, but she didn't even get a sip of cold water and was filled with anger. She won't come next time even if eight people carry a sedan chair to invite her!
Ji Qi was stunned for a moment, then quickly moved in front of her.
"You want to leave?" His voice rose slightly with a hint of urgency, and the cold look in his eyes when he looked at Mu Yao was incomprehensible.
"I can't eat anymore after seeing you! If you don't leave now, I'm worried that I won't be able to sleep!" Mu Yao walked away from him expressionlessly and walked quickly towards the door.
The rising heat in the body merged with the heat, and the inner shirt was soaked with sweat, sticking to the skin and feeling sticky and uncomfortable.
Ji Qi stood there with his eyes lowered, a strong aura of death emanating from his whole body.
He slowly raised his right hand, reached into the void, and firmly held the man back.
"Say what you just said again!" Ji Qi said in a deep and hoarse voice, looking directly into Mu Yao's eyes with cold and weary eyes.
Mu Yao was frightened by his gaze and bit her lower lip without answering.
The two of them remained in a stalemate for nearly half a cup of tea, and Ji Qi still showed no intention of giving in.
Mu Yao was sweating profusely from being held in his confinement. Just as she was about to get angry, she caught a glimpse of the redness in the corners of his eyes.
Her eyes seemed full of reluctance and confusion, as well as an indescribable pain.
Ji Qi was particularly calm today, so calm that the entire void was shrouded in a strange aura.
Mu Yao's mood was gradually calming down. Staring at Ji Qi, she found that she was indeed biased towards this husband. During the time she was away from him, she only thought of him a few times in a flash.
Thinking of this, she couldn't help but soften her voice, raised her hand to touch the black hair on Ji Qi's chest and whispered: "Qi, after receiving your letter, I took a two-hour car ride and rushed here without stopping. I am hot, thirsty and hungry now. If I get angry again, wouldn't it be too pitiful?"
. . . . . .
Ji Qi's eyes were once again filled with astonishment, and all his anger disappeared. The soft and tender voice of the girl in his arms instantly made him lose his temper. He sighed softly, spoke loudly into the void, and ordered the servants to prepare the meal.
Mu Yao was startled and turned her head to look in the direction where he was speaking, but did not see any figure.
Could it be that their conversation just now was overheard by these invisible people?
Fu's face turned red again and she closed her beautiful eyes resignedly.
In the time it takes to drink a cup of tea, the eight-immortals table was filled with twenty-one kinds of snacks.
Lychee pastry, almond porridge, five-blessing cakes, jade dew dumplings, eight-immortals dish, roasted duck, iced sour plum soup...
Mu Yao scooped a mouthful of the crispy mountain, which melted in her mouth. The delicate shaved ice was wrapped in a strong fruity aroma, refreshing and satisfying.
"Eat it later while it's cold." Ji Qi reminded her and pushed the five-blessing cookie in front of her.
Mu Yao picked up one and took a bite. It was stuffed with mutton. The meat was tender, strong and chewy, without any smell. The way the mutton was handled in this dessert made her eyes light up. The food made by the imperial chef was amazing!
"You have so much food here." Mu Yao exclaimed. In just a moment, the table was full, like magic.
"How does it taste?" Ji Qi asked. The kitchen started preparing before dawn today, and there were more than just 21 snacks.
"It's delicious. Especially the five-blessing cake stuffed with mutton, which is very authentic." Mu Yao praised generously.
"Particularly authentic? Have you been to Southern Xinjiang before?" Ji Qi cast a suspicious look at Mu Yao.
Ok?
Mu Yao tightened her jade chopsticks and said calmly, "I ate it when I was a child. I remember the taste."
"Where are you from?" Ji Qi has always been curious about Mu Yao's identity. He once sent someone to check her background, but found nothing.
Mu Yao slowed down her chewing speed, stared at him blankly, swallowed the pie, smiled and said: "If I say that I came from outside the nine heavens, would you believe it?"
"Hehe." Ji Qi chuckled, with a hint of pampering in his eyes.
"what ever."
Mu Yao's identity was not important to him, he was just curious about it.
"Come back to Southern Xinjiang with me tomorrow." Ji Qi said coldly.
He finally said it.
Mu Yao lost her appetite instantly.
"Don't want to?" Ji Qi stared at her expression, but didn't see a trace of joy on her face.
"I don't want to go." Mu Yao spoke the truth bluntly.
"Why?" Ji Qi was very dissatisfied with her answer, but he was not as angry as before. It seemed that he was not surprised by this answer.
"It's too far. A round trip will take more than half a month. And I'm afraid of heat, very afraid. You see, I'm so hot here, if I go to southern Xinjiang, I will melt!" When she thought of the harsh climate there, she lost even the desire to be a human being.
I don't know how the people in southern Xinjiang survived. I heard that even the river water there is hot.
Ji Qi frowned, his handsome face filled with solemnity.
The problem Mu Yao mentioned was indeed unsolvable. He had lived in Dayun for many years before he ascended the throne. Now that he had returned to Southern Xinjiang, even he had a hard time adapting, let alone a delicate woman like Mu Yao.
I couldn't find any reasonable words to refute it for a while.
Moreover, there is only one season in southern Xinjiang, so it would be useless even if Mu Yao went back with him in winter.
"Let me think about it." Ji Qi raised his lips and replied, with a hint of sadness between his brows.
Mu Yao moved her lips to say something, but swallowed it back. She could handle the journey of more than half a month, but she really couldn't handle the scorching heat.
