My Crown Prince Consort Is a Firecracker! Chapter 1170 - Hubby!

Chapter 1170: Hubby!

Qiao Mu cast a glance at him. “Hubby?”
“Mhm.” Mo Lian was overcome with delight as he gave himself ten thousand thumbs up in his heart. How was he just so quick-witted that day, whispering “I am Hubby, I am Hubby” into the little lady’s ear nonstop. Sure enough, it was effective!
The dull-witted little fellow probably thought that his name was… Hubby, tee-hee!
The little lady really listened to him, calling him Hubby whenever she spoke to him. It made him so merry and content.
“Coming, coming, dinner is here.” Shaoyao soon instructed a line of junior royal maids to come in with the platters of food.
While busily setting the table, Shaoyao exclaimed in heartache, “Miss, why have you gotten so skinny! Have you eaten at all during this period of time?”
Qiao Mu naturally wouldn’t pay her any attention. The entire time, her eyes were on the food that was being carried in.
*Tap, tap, tap.* The little fellow strode toward the table.
She then stretched her small, fair and soft hand toward a crispy roast goose drumstick.
Shaoyao: …
Mo Lian sent Shaoyao a look, and she turned around in comprehension. Afterwards, she told the group of junior royal maids, “You are dismissed for now.”
“Yes.”
Upon turning around again, Shaoyao saw her little master nibbling on a roast goose drumstick, and she wiped the corners of her eyes uncontrollably. “Exactly how long has my miss gone hungry.”
It was so pitiful. She was so hungry that she directly grabbed it with her hands, not even bothering with holding chopsticks.
After taking two bites, Qiao Mu noticed the braised pork hock on the platter next to her, and her small hand stealthily reached toward that too.
However, Mo Lian subsequently walked up and grasped her small hand. “Let’s wash our hands before grabbing.”
He took away the greasy roast goose drumstick from her hands as he spoke, pulling her along to wash her hands.
After getting back from washing their hands, Qiao Mu grunted at him, gesturing toward the platter of large shrimp far away with her eyes.
Mo Lian thus brought that platter over and also grabbed the shrimp with his hands. As he peeled them to feed to her, he casually asked, “Qiaoqiao, do you remember my name.”
Qiao Mu nodded emphatically as she swallowed the large shrimp he peeled. “Hubby.”
“That’s right.” Mo Lian pecked her on the cheek with a grin. “You can’t forget in the future.”
At his words, Qiao Mu merely nodded obediently.
Nevertheless, Shaoyao, who was watching from the side, looked up at the ceiling speechlessly.
His Highness was too black-bellied, taking advantage of their miss’s dull-witted state.
Earlier, His Highness had only told her that someone called Ding Yun from Beijing Manor had harmed Miss, causing her to forget a lot of things from the past. Upon seeing her now, she perceived that this truly was the case.
“Your Highness, do you need chopsticks…” Shaoyao inquired with a light cough as she handed over a pair of silver chopsticks.
“No need. Our Qiaoqiao likes to grab with her hands, so I’ll accompany her.” Mo Lian waved his hand, not minding it at all. He then grabbed a fish that she had been staring at in passing.
Shaoyao instantly had nothing to say.
This wouldn’t do, she had to be on the lookout outside. What if Her Majesty the Queen came over at this time and saw? Wouldn’t she be angered to death!
Her son, her outstanding and perfect son, did crazy things with his wife all day.
“Qiaoqiao, is it delicious?” Mo Lian couldn’t help but be amused as he watched her eat with such relish.
Qiao Mu nodded while conveniently wiping her small hands on his sleeve.
Yet Crown Prince Mo pursed his lips as he declared, “You’ve made my whole body greasy. You’ll have to bathe with me later.”
“Let’s bathe together, Qiaoqiao, okay? Qiaoqiao, Qiaoqiao?”
