Chapter 1413: Congratulations from All Corners
Translator: Henyee Translations Editor: Henyee Translations
It was particularly bright out today, so Qiao Mu had people carry the food box and tea outside so that she could eat while flipping through her medical books in the Eastern Palace’s small garden.
When she reached out with her petite hand, a royal maid would immediately present a plate of sliced oranges to her.
The little fellow looked up, peering at this royal maid, Haitang, who had just been transferred over to serve her.
In reality, she could tell with a single glance that this Haitang must have come from the female Hidden Guard Barracks. Like Shaoyao, she was adept at martial arts.
However, compared to the chatty Shaoyao, this Haitang was much quieter.
She was so young yet had a very steady character. She was scrupulous and methodical in her every action!
It was just that she was simple and slow of speech…
“Crown Prince Consort, would you like a fresh brew of tea?” Haitang suddenly inquired..
“Alright, sure.” Qiao Mu flipped the page as she replied absentmindedly.
“Then Haitang will change the tea for you, Crown Prince Consort.”
“Mhm.” Qiao Mu watched her skillfully pouring water and brewing the tea before she suddenly asked, “What has the crown prince been busy with these two days. Why haven’t I been seeing a trace of him all day?”
“His Highness the Crown Prince has been busy receiving guests from the other kingdoms. There are still two days until Her Majesty the Queen Dowager’s birthday feast, so His Highness the Crown Prince will continue to be very busy,” Haitang answered woodenly.
Qiao Mu pursed her lips. “How many kingdoms have come.”
“After Northern Wei makes it to our Mo Kingdom capital today, all the kingdoms in the northern region will basically be present. As for the southern region, Southern Baili and the Southern Xiao Kingdom will come, also…”
“Ah, okay okay.” Qiao Mu had merely asked an offhanded question, and her head hurt when she heard Haitang reeling off the names of various kingdoms.
It wasn’t like she really wanted to get to know them.
If she had that leisure, she might as well go take a nap.
“My lady! My lady!” Shaoyao ran over jubilantly, but Qiao Mu started teasing her before she could speak.
“Calm down, my sister-in-law.”
Shaoyao’s pretty face instantly flushed bright red, and she rolled her eyes at her in embarrassment. “My lady, you’re making fun of me again.”
“Whatever do you mean. Your wedding has already been pushed up the agenda.” Otherwise, the crown prince wouldn’t have assigned Haitang to her side.
He had transferred this female hidden guard Haitang to the open for her use.
“I-I’m not talking to you about this anymore.” Shaoyao stomped her foot. “You almost made me forget official business. I wanted to tell you that the princess of Southern Xiao Kingdom has come.”
Qiao Mu’s eyes lit up as she inquired quickly, “Where is she?”
“Her entourage is almost at the city gate.” Shaoyao asked with smiling eyes, “My lady, do you want to take a look outside the palace? It’ll be more lively on the streets today compared to yesterday!”
“Do I look like someone who likes watching the excitement,” Qiao Mu deadpanned.
Shaoyao was just about to fawn over Qiao Mu and answer “no” when she heard Haitang beside her abruptly answer with a solemn “yes.”
Shaoyao: …
Goodness, this sis, you couldn’t be Little Master’s personal female guard like this!
Seeing that the little stoic was about to go ballistic, Shaoyao hastily placated with a smile, “My lady, of course you’re not someone who likes to watch the excitement. But it can’t be helped that we, your subordinates, like joining in on the fun!”
While saying this, Shaoyao yanked Haitang’s sleeve and winked at her continuously.
Thereafter, Haitang nodded woodenly. “I love watching the excitement the most.”
Even though Qiao Mu was twitching her mouth, she did find it funny. Subsequently, she summoned a gigantic Qingluan with a wave of her fair hand. “Let’s go.”
“Let’s go meet those old acquaintances.”
Yet she did not expect this meeting to stir up trouble…
