Empress Running Away with the Ball

Chapter 815: Holding it in his hands

The weak morning light shined on her face.  Her smile was clear and her eyes sparkled, giving her an indescribable beauty.

He knew what she meant by this.

The sun had risen, it was time for him to go to morning court.

This was his responsibility and obligation as the emperor.

But on such a bright morning and seeing her smile that was like a flower blooming, he wanted to throw away the heavy burdens on his shoulder and he wanted to become a normal person.

Being with his beloved girl in a secluded place like this, even if they said nothing and just sat there looking at each other, it would be an indescribable good thing.

“Ning’er, come with me.”  He suddenly made a decision and held her hand, jumping onto the horse she had ridden with her.

With a soft tap of his feet, the horse flew off.

“Where are you bringing me?  Hey, Mo Chuan, you’re not going to morning court?”

The refreshing morning breeze blew across them.  Chen Ning sat there in Mo Chuan’s embrace. She saw that Mo Chuan wasn’t bringing her in the direction of the capital city nor the direction of Na Mu Cuo, rather they were heading off towards the rising sun.

“Un, I’m not going.”  Mo Chuan firmly replied.

He tightly held the horse’s reins and controlled the direction he was moving in.  His future like would be like this horse’s reins, they would be controlled by his hands!

Chen Ning didn’t ask anything else.  She laid in his embrace and closed her eyes.

No matter where Mo Chuan took her, she didn’t care.  His direction was her direction, they would be together for this life and never leave each other.

The horse finally stopped.  Mo Chuan jumped off the horse and reached out a hand to help Chen Ning down.

Chen Ning found that they were in a large patch of farm land.  There were vegetable fields growing there, looking very green. There were also farmers currently watering and fertilizing the fields.

“Old uncle, do you need helpers?  We can help you water the crops?”

Mo Chuan held Chen Ning’s hand as he approached a gray haired old man.  He was currently sitting with a straw hat panting, with two barrels of water beside him.  It seemed like he couldn’t move after bringing it half the way and was resting on the side of the road.

Hearing this, the old man was pleasantly surprised.  When he looked up at Mo Chuan and found it was a stranger, he became hesitant.

“This little brother, you want to help me move water?  I don’t have money for you.”

“We don’t need money.  We saw that it was hard for this old uncle and wanted to help.”  Mo Chuan replied with a smile.

The old man saw Mo Chuan’s handsome face and heard his polite voice, as well he saw the flower like girl beside him.  They didn’t seem like bad people, so he gave a nod.

“Little brother, your heart is good.  I’ll trouble you to help me bring this water to the other side.  As for this miss, you should sit and rest, you don’t want to tire your wife.”

Hearing the words “your wife”, Mo Chuan and Chen Ning couldn’t stop their faces from turning red as they looked at each other with a smile.

“Alright.  Ning’er, just sit on the side and rest, I’ll help this old uncle with watering the crops.”

Mo Chuan lifted the two water barrels without any effort.  Under the instructions of the old man, he walked to the fields and began to carefully pour water onto the green crops.

After the two barrels were emptied, he went to draw another two barrels.  He directly watered all of the old man’s fields before putting the water barrels back down beside the old man.  His face wasn’t red and he wasn’t panting at all.

“Old uncle, your crops are truly good.  It seems like a rich harvest this year.”  He said sincerely.
