My Crown Prince Consort Is a Firecracker! Chapter 604 - Exhortation

Chapter 604: Exhortation

Just as Qiao Mu walked out of Brilliant Sun Hall, she was pounced on squarely by the chattering Xiao Lin’er.
“Sister, are you coming home with us today?” Qiao Lin asked with a giggle.
“Your sister still can’t go back today.” However, just as Qiao Mu was going to agree, that abominable voice broke her off.
Seeing her turning around to glare at him, the crown prince strode over quickly, automatically reaching for her small hand before turning to smile at Wei Ziqin. “Mom! Qiaoqiao still has to stay here for a few days. Royal Father will summon her tomorrow, and it’ll be too troublesome to make a round trip! Rest assured, Mom, I will take care of Qiaoqiao well.”
This overfamiliar and awfully shameless guy was even calling out “Mom” in front of the noble ladies and daughters that had not left yet!
Wei Ziqin was momentarily startled before she started laughing while covering her mouth.
After her laughter had subsided, Wei Ziqin pulled her daughter’s small hand. “Crown Prince, I’ll leave after speaking privately with Qiaoqiao.”
“Okay, I’ll wait here for Qiaoqiao.” The crown prince nodded with a smile.
Steering clear of him, Wei Ziqin pulled Qiao Mu under the eaves of the corridor and said in a low voice, “Daughter, there’s still three months until your coming-of-age hairpin ceremony, so you’re still young. Don’t do any inappropriate things that will make Mom worry, understand?”
Even with her mom hemming and hawing, Qiao Mu was so clever that she immediately understood what her mom wanted to say, causing her small face to inexplicably flush red. “Mom, what are you saying. He’s been sleeping by himself in the side chamber these two days.”
Wei Ziqin was all smiles as she nodded straightaway, and she couldn’t resist praising her son-in-law. “I just knew that this child Xiao Mo is especially sensible. He has good character and also a good temperament! He’s even handsome! Aiyah, Mom really didn’t misjudge him. You two really are a match made in heaven! Hahaha!”
Mom, I beg of you to stop praising him! Aren’t I the one who’s your own daughter?
“My good daughter, your behavior in the main hall today is also… you should be more careful in the future. That person is the king’s noble consort after all, so you still have to give her a bit of face.”
Qiao Mu humphed. “Those people still aren’t qualified for me to act prudently.”
After saying this, she immediately glimpsed her mother’s anxious expression, so she couldn’t help but nod resignedly and reassure, “I know, I know. Anyways, as long as other people don’t provoke me, I won’t actively provoke other people either.”
“You lass. Alright, Mom is only making herself clear. I’ll be leaving the palace with your sister first then. You have to remember to come back in two days! It’s not good for your reputation to keep living together with him before the wedding. You have to be more mindful, since gossip is a fearful thing after all.”
Qiao Mu nodded her small head. “Mom, I will come back earlier. I miss your home-cooked dishes.”
“You silly lass. Whatever time you come back, Mom will cook for you then. Are you afraid that I can’t feed an extra mouth?” Wei Ziqin laughed giddily, her eyes overflowing with doting affection.
“Sis, when you and Brother-in-Law come back, remember to stop by Uncle Wang’s flatbread shop and buy me one… mhmfmph, Mom what are you covering my mouth for? Bring back Uncle Wang’s flatbread… fmhmph!” The little foodie’s mouth was promptly muffled as Wei Ziqin dragged her away.
Seeing this, Qiao Mu couldn’t resist pursing her lips in laughter as she boarded the carriage.
She had been busy all this time after coming back, so she had forgotten to prepare some snacks for her foodie sister. When she went back in two days, she definitely needed to prepare more delicious things for her to eat.
Besides, she didn’t see Brother Xiao Hu when she went back last time. She wondered if he had come out of closed-door cultivation yet.
On the other hand, the crown prince elatedly gazed in the direction that the little foodie had left in before turning to remark smilingly to Qiao Mu, “Younger Sister truly is a clever one. As expected, her personality takes after you: innocent, vivacious, and entertaining! When we go back in two days, we’ll bring her more than just a few pieces of flatbread. It won’t be a problem even if it’s two stacks.”
