Chapter 1185: The Queen Dowager’s Greeting Gift
While leading the little fellow by the hand, Mo Lian walked up to the queen dowager and smiled at her.
Following this, Mo Lian squeezed the little fellow’s hand and sent her a look that said “say grandmother.”
Qiao Mu blinked at the benevolent-looking elderly lady in front of her before saying crisply, “Grandmother.”
“Good, good, good.” The queen dowager was all smiles as she pulled Qiao Mu over and observed her carefully. “Good child, let Grandmother take a close look at you. Feng Gu, look at how good-looking this child is.”
Feng Gu also covered her mouth with a smile, responding, “Is that not right! The crown prince consort truly is like a young celestial maiden who has descended from Heaven. If this old servant encountered her on the street, perhaps this old servant might think that she saw wrongly on account of her aging eyesight. How can there be someone so good-looking in the world.”
Although the little fellow’s face remained stoic, her small face still blushed from their praise.
“Hahaha.” The queen dowager chortled as she nodded continuously. She then grasped Qiao Mu’s small hand and stuffed an interspatial ring into her hands in passing. “Good child, Grandmother learned from the crown prince that you are skilled in pharmacology and also know how to refine pills at such a young age. You truly are amazing. This is a small greeting gift that Grandmother prepared for you, so take it.”
However, when Qiao Mu looked down, her gaze quivered.
This was a rare interspatial ring that was difficult to obtain in the Lower Star Domain. Previously, she had only obtained one from Teacher Long Chuyun.
When the king and queen saw this, they couldn’t help but gawk in surprise.
It looked like Mother was very pleased with this granddaughter-in-law.
“Grandmother, this is too valuable, I…”
“Aye.” The queen dowager patted Qiao Mu’s small hand and explained with a chuckle, “The exotic herbs inside I had gathered during my practical training back when I was young. What use could they have to me? Rather, they will exhibit their greatest efficacy in your hands. Don’t decline. This is a token of Grandmother’s affection for you. If you don’t take it, Grandmother is going to be unhappy.”
When Commandery Princess Yi’an, who was standing behind the queen dowager, saw this, her fingers curled up as she wrung her handkerchief. She pulled her lips into a line as she lowered her head.
“Qiaoqiao, take it then.” Mo Lian said with a smile.
“Then okay. Wait until I refine good pills and then give them to Grandmother.” Qiao Mu nodded and put the interspatial ring away into her inner world.
“Aye, that’s right.” The elderly lady was all smiles as she kept nodding her head cheerily.
At this time, the king finally found a chance to interject, “Cough, Crown Prince Consort. What happened exactly in the Mystic Beast Forest secret realm previously? Why were all of you transferred out in advance?”
Qiao Mu lightly tilted her head to glance at the king, and then she pulled out a thumb ring-shaped defensive mystic weapon and threw it at him.
“No idea, the secret realm just suddenly collapsed. Before leaving, I picked up several items. I’ll give the king this defensive mystic weapon,” answered Qiao Mu expressionlessly.
The king jolted in fright from her motions at the beginning, but when he caught that defensive mystic weapon, he turned it over in his hands repeatedly and fondled it admiringly.
Good stuff, this was good stuff!
This defensive mystic weapon also carried a hint of fire spiritual energy and was probably a beginning-stage spiritual weapon.
“This indeed is excellent.” The queen dowager nodded approvingly after taking a look. “My king, you should wear it at all times.”
“Yes, yes, yes.” The king was elated and nodded repeatedly.
