Barrier

"Marriage? Concubine?"

This sudden reward almost made Pei Mo's jaw drop.

The surprise came too suddenly, and he was completely unprepared.

But there was only Murong Qing in his heart from beginning to end. Now that the relationship between the two has finally made some progress, and the emperor wants him to marry another woman as a concubine, what will Murong Qing think?

She will definitely be very unhappy!

Pei Mo thought about this and immediately wanted to reject the emperor: "Your Majesty, I already have a wife..."

Perhaps the emperor also anticipated what he would say, and interrupted his reply before he could finish his words.

"This woman is not an ordinary person, she is a foreign woman," the emperor said with a smile on his face, as if he really thought he had found a good match for Pei Mo. "But you don't have to worry, this outsourced woman is the one I recognized early on."

A goddaughter of yours, she can be regarded as half a princess. Her status and status are worthy of you, and she will not insult the majesty of your general."

"No... Your Majesty, now that you are focused on protecting your family and country and have no intention of marrying a concubine, please ask Your Majesty to take back your life." When Pei Mo saw that the Emperor seemed serious, he knew that this matter was a bit serious.

He didn't have time to think too much, so he quickly refused.

But the emperor was already immersed in his own world and couldn't listen to Pei Mo's opinion at all. He held Pei Mo's hand and kept praising the woman.

"My goddaughter is not only beautiful, but also has a good personality. She can also dance a lot of Western dances and plays the pipa very well. If you marry such a good girl and keep her at home, you can secretly have fun every day."

But no matter how good the emperor praised the woman, Pei Mo only had Murong Qing in his mind right now, so he didn't seem very happy. He only laughed occasionally to deal with the emperor.

"Huh? I've been talking about why I haven't listened to you for a long time. What do you think? Tell me." The emperor also noticed that Pei Mo didn't speak for a long time, so he stopped and asked what he meant.

In the emperor's heart, with such a good thing, it was too late for Pei Mo to be happy.

However, Pei Mo pondered for a moment, but still refused with a serious face: "Your Majesty, I know that you have arranged a wonderful girl for me, but now that I have married my wife, I have no intention of taking a concubine offline.

Please, Your Majesty, please take back your order."

"Huh? Are you against my opinion?"

The emperor saw that he had been talking non-stop for a long time, but could not say anything. When Pei Mo even tried to touch him and was rejected by him, he felt very unhappy and his face became gloomy.

Pei Mo also noticed the change in the emperor's mood, and was afraid that he would blame him, so he quickly replied: "I didn't mean that, I just..."

"Just what?" The emperor was very unhappy. He had left Pei Mo and sat down on the chair without looking at Pei Mo. His expression was much colder than before.

Even the eunuch standing by couldn't stand it any longer. He secretly ran to Pei Mo and persuaded him: "Oh, General, the emperor is granting you a marriage. That is a great thing. Others think

It’s better for you to refuse me right now.”

As he said this, he secretly glanced at the emperor and saw that he was livid and minding his own drinking of tea. The eunuch then pulled up Pei Mo's sleeves and secretly pulled him aside.

"I said, General, the emperor just happily wanted to grant you a marriage. You just agreed and it was over. Why did you make the emperor unhappy? This will not be good for you." The eunuch gave Pei Mo a few words of sincere advice.

, Pei Mo felt a little more thoughtful.

It is said that being with a king is like being with a tiger. Pei Mo naturally knows this truth very well. If he continues to persist, the emperor may not force him to give orders to you. I am afraid that the emperor will think too much about it and will inevitably put small shoes on him in the future.

This is even worse.

"Okay, okay, this matter is settled. You don't need to say anything more. I'm tired today." The emperor put down the teacup in his hand, looked unhappy, and issued an expulsion order, "You can go back!"

"Thank you for your kindness, Your Majesty." Pei Mo thought about it over and over, and finally had to leave the Imperial Study Room with a heavy heart. When he returned home, his face was still heavy.

But he didn't expect that as soon as he arrived at the gate of the General's Mansion, Murong Qing greeted him immediately.

"You're back. The emperor just summoned you. What did you say?"

Murong Qing saw that Pei Mo had just been called away by the palace guards. He didn't know what was going on, so he felt a little curious. He had been waiting at the door of the general's mansion since Pei Mo left. When he saw Pei Mo appear, he went up to meet him.

But Pei Mo was worried, so he just raised his head and glanced at her, then returned to the study without saying a word, sitting on the stool, without drinking tea or saying anything.

"Oh, you are so worried about me. What happened? Tell me quickly." Murong Qing saw that Pei Mo had been silent since he entered the room and looked very worried. He knew something was wrong in his heart.

Not good.

After urging for a long time, Pei Mo slowly raised his head.

"The emperor summoned me to the palace just now. He said that he wanted to compensate me for what happened a few days ago. He has already decided to grant me a marriage and give me a concubine."

After hearing this, the innocent smile on Murong Qing's face suddenly froze, and his whole body seemed to be struck by five thunders, and his mind went blank.

Pei Mo lowered his head and kept thinking about this matter. He couldn't make up his mind. At this moment, he didn't even think about it, so he asked: "What do you think about this matter?"

He didn't want to mention this matter to anyone, but now he was facing Murong Qing. Because he already had considerable trust in Murong Qing, he asked without any scruples.

But Murong Qing seemed to be stunned. He stared at Pei Mo with his eyes blankly for a while, without saying anything for a long time.

"This..." Murong Qing was speechless for a moment, and after thinking for a long time, she finally said, "It's nothing more. It's good for me to take care of you alone."

"Do you really think so?" After hearing this, Pei Mo felt a little angry for no reason, but after all, what Murong Qing said was for his own good, and it made no sense to lose his temper at this time.

Pei Mo thought to himself: "It turns out that I have no weight in your heart at all. You don't care about me at all. Even if I want to marry another woman, you are not jealous at all."

Murong Qing was also thinking in her mind: "Which man doesn't want to marry more beautiful concubines? Although he is a general's wife, they had an agreement at the beginning. He can't stand up and say that he disagrees now, right?

Are you obviously jealous?"

The study fell into silence again, and neither of them spoke for a long time.

"It's getting late, I'll go back and rest first." Finally, Murong Qing took the initiative and left the study.

I lay on the bed and tossed and turned until midnight. After finally squinting for a while, I vaguely saw a man and a woman not far away, laughing and whispering in front of the flowers and under the moon.

Open your eyes carefully and take a look, who is that man if not Pei Mo?
