C28 (1/2)

The style of the pastries on the plate was very exquisite. Although it could be said to be imitated from the cherry blossoms in her palace, they had been pinched by the chef into six petals, which were dyed crystal clear.

Ye Qiongjiang's eyes moved, sshe raised her hand and took out a piece of the plate, taking a small bite, without looking at Mo Hua, he turned and said in the direction of the carriage: ”Young Eunuch Qing is interested.”

He had ordered the two of them to separate, and now he was using food to curry favor with them?

Ye Qiongjiang finally set her gaze on Mo Hua, and stared fixedly at him, waiting for his next words.

Mo Hua let out a light sigh, then continued: ”But you are a Imperial Consort Qiong, you have been too close to the Empress these past two days, have been too often … With so many people talking in the palace, it is hard to avoid people from becoming suspicious. ”

Ye Qiongjiang's gaze, was not thick nor was it calm; it did not contain any signs of life nor did it contain any joy.

Mo Hua was a little uncomfortable, ”Actually … I don't mean to separate you guys intentionally, it's just that the day of the Heavenly Worship is about to come, we need two days to travel to Stellar Soup Pool, and then, we need to bathe and change clothes. We also need three days of fasting.

Ye Qiongjiang said indifferently, ”Your majesty, there is no need to explain.”

Mo Hua's heart skipped a beat, was he trying to explain?

Why would he need to explain things to others when he was a self-proclaimed hero, decisive in his killing and killing?

Although their conversation was not loud, it was loud enough for Qing An who was sitting on the carriage to hear it clearly.

He shook his head slightly. If this carried on, the wise and mighty Emperor would fall into the hands of the Lady Qiong sooner or later.

”Cough.”

Mo Hua coughed lightly, concealing his embarrassment, and pretended to be indifferent, changing the topic: ”It's still early, we have to walk twenty miles before we can set up our camp to rest. Taking advantage of this time, I will tell you about the Heavenly Worship. ”

Hearing his words, Ye Qiongjiang's attitude became serious. No matter which empire it was, the Heavenly Worshipper was an extremely important ceremony for them. Although she had never participated in it before, she knew that there couldn't be any mistakes.

The Great Deity Official will personally deduce it and choose the day. Then, the Emperor and Queen will pay equal pay to the heavens and the earth, and pray for a good harvest in the autumn, bringing good fortune and prosperity to the nation over the next year.

This time, the Shen Qing sent someone over to deliver a day. On the day of A/C, the five elements of Heaven and Earth were all sun trees. They represented towering trees that reached into the heavens. They were upright and unrighteous, symbolizing the growth of all living things. They were flourishing with vigor.

Although these days were given out through his hands, it was actually the gift of heaven and earth. A Yin day, this is the divine edict that the heavens and earth sent down. It means that our Da Xia Empire will become even more prosperous, welcoming an even greater glory.

”Before that day comes, we need to bathe in fasting, and have a light diet to purify our bodies so that we can use our purest bodies to face the heavens and earth and experience the blessings they bestow upon us.”

Mo Hua paused, seeing how serious Ye Qiongjiang was listening to her lecture, she couldn't help but chuckle, and when she saw her unconsciously clench her fair hands, she mysteriously grabbed her and held her in her palm, ”Don't worry, at that time, every step you take, you will receive a reminder from the officer beside you that you will be doing very well.”

Suddenly, he grabbed onto Ye Qiongjiang's hand. Ye Qiongjiang was startled, wanting to struggle free, but he felt that his smile was extremely gentle, the messy hair on his face made the cold Emperor's Qi disappear, as though she was a playmate that was used to playing around with him when she was young.

”What if I accidentally made a mistake?” Ye Qiongjiang also didn't understand how his heart felt at this moment. Although he didn't retract his hand, he felt that what he had done was wrong, and his voice couldn't help but soften a little.

”You won't make a mistake.” Mo Hua held her hand tightly, he only felt that soft and smooth skin, holding her small and tender little hand. It was as if he had suddenly become an ignorant kid who had just met a woman for the first time. His palm felt slightly hot, as if it had been melted by that slender jade-like hand. It was so hot that it flowed all the way to his heart.

The atmosphere in the carriage also had some subtle changes.

”With me here, who would dare to touch you!”

At the top of the carriage hung a glass lantern, and each ”petal” was covered by a transparent cover over a small candle. The light from the lamp swayed on the thick blanket, forming blossoming flowers.

When Mo Hua said this, his handsome appearance turned into a unique shadow in front of his eyes under the flickering light and shadows.

Ye Qiongjiang inexplicably panicked. She immediately retracted her hand, and used her other hand to tightly press on her leg, as a thin layer of sweat seeped out from the center of her palm.

”Are you afraid?” Mo Hua saw that she was tightly pressing his hand, and that his slender fingers were intertwined with each other, as if his heart's emotions were tangled up, and the corner of his mouth curled up into a slight smile.

”Why should I be afraid?” Ye Qiongjiang lowered his head, stealthily took a deep breath, and asked a question in reply.

Mo Hua didn't answer her question. Instead, he leaned against the wall of the carriage and leisurely said, ”In my entire life, I have seen many people. There are some people that aren't used to hiding their true emotions, and they often laugh out loud when they are happy or frown even when they aren't happy. There were others who were just the opposite. They could laugh heartily when they were sad, and they could pretend to be depressed when they were in a good mood. And then, the third kind of people. ”

”This third type of person is much more interesting,” He paused for a moment, and seeing that Ye Qiongjiang had raised her head to look at him, he could not help but reveal a smile.

”What does the Emperor want to say?”

Ye Qiongjiang tilted her head, and avoided his gaze somewhat guiltily.

”What I'm trying to say is, why don't you face your feelings? You dare to say that to me... ”To me …”

Looking at her averted gaze, Mo Hua suddenly felt a little disheartened. Besides, outside the carriage, other than Qing An, there was still the carriage driver and the imperial guards that stood on both sides of the carriage.

”Forget it.”

Leaning on the carriage wall, Mo Hua closed his eyes. The night was long, but Mo Hua continued to rest.

In the quiet of the carriage, there was only the sound of the horses' hooves and the rolling of the wheels.
