Chapter 1467: Setting Out

Qiao Mu had yet to realize what she had done even after seeing this dummy’s dumbstruck state.
She poked his handsome face. “What’s with you?”
Mo Lian cupped her petite cheeks with his hand before giving her a smack on the lips. “My wife, you kissed me, kissed me, kissed me just now. Give me another one! Here.”
She wouldn’t have realized it if this guy hadn’t said anything, but now that he did, the little lady’s face flushed entirely red.
What was going on? Why did she feel so flustered and have a guilty conscience from this guy’s casual reminder.
Especially when he was presenting her with the side of his face, begging for a kiss…
Mhm.
So, so what if she kissed him? Humph! She’d kiss him if she wanted to! He was hers anyway, so she’ll kiss him. Uh-huh!
After giving him another smack on the cheek, she subconsciously fanned herself with her petite hand.
So strange. Why were her cheeks burning up!
Qiao Mu picked up her spoon and continued to drink the porridge earnestly while commenting for no particular purpose, “Ah, today’s porridge is quite tasty.”
“Is that true?” Crown Prince Mo blinked and then closed in with a smile, saying, “It’s good that you like it, my wife. Hubby will cook it for you every day from now on. How about it?”
Qiao Mu: …
One day later, the queen and crown prince consort of Northern Mo, along with a group of royal concubines, princesses, and commandery princesses, headed to Jun Mountain’s Yating Court to entertain the noble ladies from the other kingdoms.
After dawn broke, everyone had met up at the appointed spot in front of Huazhong Gate.
There was a wide flight of stairs that consisted of a hundred steps leading down from the main hall.
At this time, quite a few carriages had congregated at the bottom of these wide stairs.
While sitting inside the carriages, the noble ladies were bashfully observing the handsome young men across from them through the curtains.
Afterall, today, the male guests would be accompanying the king and the crown prince to the Western Mountain to hunt, while the female guests would be accompanying Her Majesty the Queen to Yating Court, where they would go boating and admire the lotus flowers.
It had been a long time since the Northern Mo Kingdom was so lively, so everyone was in an exuberant mood.
Some girls who were on friendly terms had long gotten together to chatter and gossip about the young men across from them.
The sons of officials and patrician families had also gathered together, but they weren’t as senseless as the noble ladies. Instead, they had gathered to heatedly discuss the prizes of today’s hunt on Western Mountain.
“The king has taken out three mystic weapons as prizes. Haha, Young Sir Xu, I will have to compete with you all during today’s hunt.”
“Likewise, likewise. It’ll all be up to each person’s capabilities.”
“But I say, there’s no use to you guys arguing here.” A youthful young sir gestured with his eyes.
Everyone turned to look, and they saw Northern Wei’s Third Highness, Wei Nanfeng, and Southern Baili’s Second Highness, Baili Xi, currently catching up with the Duan Clan’s Fourth Young Sir, Duan Yue, and Heavenly Dao Sect’s Young Sect Master, Situ Yi.
Additionally, they could see from afar the Qin Estate’s Eldest Young Sir Qin Xuan, the Dou Clan’s two handsome young sirs, as well as Sixth Young Sir Zheng walking over.
This look made them instantly feel like they were totally out of the running!
With so many strong and powerful competitors here, they were most likely going to be mere participants again during this hunt on Western Mountain!
Sigh… why was it just so vexing!
These strong and powerful young sirs must have made arrangements to come together, right!
“The king and the queen have arrived.”
Someone gave a shout, and everyone solemnly looked up.
At the top of the staircase, the king and the crown prince were leading several princes and vassal princes down the stairs.
On the other end, Her Majesty the Queen, with Nanny Qing’s assistance, was also descending the flight of steps, followed by Consort Cheng, Consort Liu, and a large group of womenfolk.
