Chapter 522 Husband, I have something to ask of you

After sending Chu Juan back to the room and just closing the door, Chu Juan hugged Chen Mo from behind.

The cloak he was wearing unexpectedly slipped off his shoulders and fell to the ground.

"Husband, can you stay with me tonight?" Chu Juan said softly.

Chen Mo turned around and looked at Chu Juan, who was leaning her head against his chest. Judging from her makeup, she had obviously dressed up specially.

As a princess, she has been pampered since childhood, which naturally makes her skin excellent. Her face is like a beautiful painting, with every detail just right.

A delicate nose, pink lips, lively eyes, and high eyebrows.

If you look down, you can see from the neckline of the light green long skirt that she is not wearing anything underneath, it is in a vacuum state.

Hearing the obvious "purpose" in the words, Chen Mo sighed.

Sometimes he would deliberately ignore it, but if he really thought about it, among all the girls in the backyard, the ones who truly loved him purely were probably Han Anniang, Wu Mi, Yi Shiyan, Xia Zhiqing, Xia Zhining and Song Min.

The feelings of the other women towards him were not the purest kind.

Of course, he also understood where they came from, and to insist on craving their purest emotions was tantamount to nitpicking.

However, even though he understood it, Chen Mo still felt a little uncomfortable when he saw it was so obvious.

Facing Chu Juan's gaze, Chen Mo pinched her cheek and said with a smile: "Miss me?"

"Yeah." Chu Juan hugged Chen Mo even tighter and said, "I miss you very much."

"How much do you miss it?" Chen Mo said with a smile.

Chu Juan bit her pink lips lightly, and a few strokes of red appeared on her painted face. Then she let go of the hand that was holding Chen Mo.

The next second, Chen Mo heard a rustling sound. The laces of Chu Juan's skirt were untied, and the skirt slid to the ground. She hugged Chen Mo again, her soft body pressed tightly against him, and said in a trembling voice: "Think so."

Chen Mo didn't say anything, but he used practical actions to show how much he missed her.

He raised his hand to lift her chin, which was like a work of art, and lowered his head to kiss her.

Chu Juan's hands that were hugging Chen Mo's waist changed to hugging his neck.

In order to make the kiss less strenuous for Chen Mo, she even stood on tiptoe slightly.

Although Chu Juan is tall, this is only compared to other women. Her actual height is only about 168cm.

After Chen Mo broke through to become a top-grade warrior, his body seemed to have undergone a secondary development, and now his height has reached 190cm.

Wu Mi and Han Anniang were both feeling unwell. After coming out of the two women's rooms, Chen Mo was already very angry. After being intimate with Chu Juan for a while, this anger exploded.

Chen Mo picked up Chu Juan and walked towards the soft couch inside.

The bedding that had been laid out on the bed sank slightly, and a soft and fragrant body lay on it.

Soon, the calm bedding began to waver. The wind was howling outside and the temperature was low, but inside the room it was as warm as spring.

After a long while, Chu Juan and Chen Mo hugged each other. After her breathing calmed down, Chu Juan said, "My dear, did you receive the letter I sent you before?"

Chen Mo nodded: "In the first great victory of Yi County, Li Mingfan and Li Mingzhong both made contributions to our army. Even if you don't mention it, I will not treat them unfairly."

When Chen Mo first received Chu Juan's letter, he didn't plan to use Li Mingfan and Li Mingzhong.

After all, if both of them could betray Prince Huai, they might betray him in the future.

But on the way here just now, he thought that now that he had just recovered the north, he needed someone to help him manage such a large territory.

Even if the court agreed to restore the imperial examination, it would take at least a year to select and appoint people. During this year, the North could not just ignore it, so people had to be sent. And he was in great need of talent. If he appointed the children of Xiao and Wu, it would make the two families bigger and extend their influence to the North.

As for the children from poor families, few of them can be of great use.

For this reason, they are the only ones available.

After all, Li Mingfan and Li Mingzhong are both mid-level warriors.

"In fact, my great-uncle is still very capable and can be of great use." Chu Juan spoke for Li Mingfan.

Li Mingfan is her mother's uncle. In terms of relationship, Chu Juan calls him her mother's uncle-in-law.

"Juan'er, I naturally believe you when you say that." After Chen Mo pondered for a while, he said, "Well, Youzhou has just been recovered, and everything needs to be rebuilt. It's a good opportunity for your great-grandfather to display his talents. Let your great-grandfather go to be the governor of Youzhou, and Li Mingzhong will be the magistrate of Bingcheng County."

It just so happened that Chang'en and his army were in Youzhou, so Chen Mo was not afraid that the situation would get out of control.

"Going to Youzhou, so far?" Chu Juan was stunned.

She hoped that Li Mingfan and Li Mingzhong would stay in Linzhou to work so that she could take care of each other.

"Carrying a heavy burden, how can you not suffer a little? This distance is nothing. Of course, if Juan'er really thinks it's far, then forget it."

As soon as Chen Mo finished speaking, Chu Juan quickly said, "Not far, not far. I was just talking."

The prefect of a state is a high-ranking official of the fourth rank. Her husband did not lie to her and he really gave him important positions.

"It's settled then. I will issue the documents to them tomorrow and they will take up their posts immediately." Chen Mo said.

"Thank you, husband." Chu Juan's voice was soft and tender.

"We are one family, so we should keep separate conversations." Chen Mo stroked Chu Juan's jade back, thinking that if Madam Xiao begged him again, he would transfer Xiao Yi to Youzhou to be the captain, and let Xiao Yi and Li Mingfan fight each other, so that they could check and balance each other.

Chu Juan leaned her head into Chen Mo's arms, hesitated for a while, and said, "My husband, I have something to ask of you."

Chen Mo realized what it was, but still asked calmly, "What is it?"

"I know that my father took advantage of you, my husband, to resist Jin Xia and raided Huaizhou. My father was wrong and he got the lesson he deserved. But he is my father after all. I hope you, my husband, can spare his life when the time comes." Chu Juan said.

"Is that all?" Chen Mo said.

Chu Juan: “???”

"Okay, I promise you."

Chu Juan: “???”

Chu Juan widened her eyes. She never expected that Chen Mo would agree to her so easily.

As the saying goes, when something is out of the ordinary, there must be something fishy going on. Chu Juan asked nervously, "Really?"

Chen Mo nodded again and said, "But I will only spare his life."

Maybe the surprise overwhelmed Chu Juan's mind. She didn't hear the hidden meaning of Chen Mo's words. She raised her head and took the initiative to kiss Chen Mo, and said excitedly: "Husband, you are so good."

Chen Mo smiled and said nothing.

Perhaps she wanted to repay him, so Chu Juan shrank back, but Chen Mo pulled her and hugged her, saying softly, "It's getting late, go to bed."

"Yeah." Chu Juan nodded heavily, looking at Chen Mo's eyes, which seemed to be shining, and her heart felt warm.
