Chapter 1173: The Crown Prince Needs to Save Face

“Pfft…” Some of the royal maids behind the queen couldn’t hold in their amusement, and they hastily coughed to mask their stifled laughs.

Crown Prince Mo immediately begged for mercy. “Mom, don’t say anymore.”

His wife was still here. He needed to save face!

However, Queen Zhao just chuckled as she covered her mouth. “But you did have a lot of amusing incidents when you were little. Mom remembers that year you went out on a hunt with your dad when you were seven. You ended up encountering an enormous big bear that chased after your dad. You were still young at that time, and you just pursued the big bear with a small bow on your back. Eventually, the bear wasn’t able to catch up to your dad because he got rescued by the guards. However, when he discovered later that he had lost you, he flared up in agitation…”

Crown Prince Mo let out two embarrassed chuckles as he hastily swung his mom’s sleeves. “Mom, stop talking already!”

“Fine, fine, fine, Mom won’t say anymore.” Queen Zhao finished washing her son’s hands with a gentle sigh. She looked at him affectionately as she said, “You’ve already become so big in the blink of an eye, already about to marry a wife.”

Afterwards, the mother and son pair exchanged gazes with a smile.

Yet at this time, the young crown prince consort pattered over and yanked on the queen’s sleeve. “Royal Mother, who is the big bear?”

Everyone: “…”

Crown Prince Mo twitched his mouth, attempting to hold in his laughter while grasping the little fellow’s hand. “Royal Mother, Qiaoqiao has become a bit muddle-headed from cultivating these two days.”

Queen Zhao gazed at her dumbfoundedly.

Upon hearing the word “cultivating,” she immediately became strung up and looked up at the crown prince. “Hubby! Cultivation ground!”

“Okay, okay, okay.” The crown prince quickly nodded at her before turning to tell Queen Zhao, “Royal Mother, Qiaoqiao is about to break through in these couple of days, so I will be bringing her to the cultivation ground first.”

Queen Zhao nodded before urging soon afterwards, “There are less than two months to your wedding, so don’t be cultivating all the time. See what else you lack and remember to furnish it in time.”

“Your wedding is an important matter, so take it to heart.”

Crown Prince Mo quickly nodded.

“Alright, you both should rest earlier.”

Only then did Queen Zhao call out to Yi’an as she left the room with her.

“Take care, Royal Mother.” Mo Lian gripped the little fellow’s small hand.

Qiao Mu cast him a glance before mimicking him in a stiff voice, “Take care, Royal Mother.”

Crown Prince Mo burst into a chortle only after Queen Zhao and her entourage had exited the doors to the Eastern Palace. He pulled the little fellow into his arms and pinched her small cheek.

Shaoyao had long split her sides in laughter.

However, Qiao Mu merely looked at Mo Lian sternly. “Hubby, cultivate!”

Mo Lian was incredibly amused, and he nodded repeatedly while holding her small hands. “Let’s go, I’ll bring you to that cultivation ground.”

After bringing her into the back room of the bedchamber, he swept across a row of candles with a breeze from his palm. Subsequently, a stone door in the wall opened.

Qiao Mu could immediately sense the dense mystic energy enveloping her from all directions, and her small face promptly eased.

Mo Lian still hugged her without letting go and nuzzled her head with his own. “You can cultivate for the night, but come out tomorrow morning to eat breakfast, okay?”

“Don’t wanna!” Qiao Mu immediately spread her palm, promptly rejecting him.

“You still have to even if you don’t wanna.” Mo Lian lifted her high up and gazed fixedly into her eyes. “Either we bathe together tonight or eat breakfast together tomorrow morning, choose one!”

Shaoyao: … Where is your pride, Your Highness?

Qiao Mu scratched her small head. “Eating breakfast then.”

She felt that this man’s eyes seemed to be shining when he said “bathe together tonight!”

It wasn’t anything good…
