My Crown Prince Consort Is a Firecracker!

Qiao Mu nodded before explaining in whispers, “I’ve had them for a long time. Before, I only sent them out to scout for information and stuff. Xiaoxiao told me recently that they’ve advanced in level after consistently absorbing the mystic energy in my Paradise Planet. Now, they can track down targets by differentiating scents.”

Mo Lian’s eyes lit up. “That’s awesome, Qiaoqiao. In the future, I’ll rely on you if I need to find anything.”

*Mwah.* As they spoke, he caught her off guard and planted a kiss on her cheek.

Qiao Mu instantly flushed red and peered about guiltily. She only saw the royal guards lined up behind them like door gods with their heads and eyes down, pretending to not have seen anything.

. 

She then beat him with her petite fist and rolled her eyes at him. “Stop fooling around.”

“I’m not fooling around.” Crown Prince Mo gave a perfectly guileless look as he winked at her. “I am engaging in normal communication with my wife.”

Ha ha, how very funny. Qiao Mu swept him a speechless look.

The crown prince immediately waved his hand, leaving behind one hundred royal guards to escort Shu Quan and her sister home. The other people would follow him back to South Xiluo Street where the disturbance broke out.

By this time, much of the cacophonous crowd had already dispersed, and the ground was littered with debris and broken wooden frames.

Qiao Mu’s eyes flickered, her gaze landing on a young girl who was bawling while sitting on a heap of trash.

Because the girl’s mother was coaxing the young boy in her arms, she was unable to attend to the little lass sitting on the trash heap. This kind of scene could be witnessed everywhere in the slums on Xiluo Street.

Qiao Mu shook her head. “Have you distributed the winter fruit from last time?”

Mo Lian nodded. “I entrusted it to Song Yuan, and he handled it quite well by putting a portion of the people to work with the winter fruit as their monthly pay. Isn’t that good?”

Qiao Mu also nodded when she heard this. She did not advocate giving them out for free either. She especially could not tolerate those strong and able men being indolent. Only getting rewarded when you worked was the correct path.

“I’ve harvested a lot of winter fruit again. I’ll give them all to you too.” After saying this, Qiao Mu placed around a dozen storage talismans in Mo Lian’s hands.

Yet Mo Lian instantly became unwilling. “No, how can I let my wife fork out supplies every time.”

Qiao Mu looked at him silently before honestly pointing out, “I really can’t store it all. It’s all heaped up outside the storehouse. You can go see for yourself at night.”

Mo Lian: …

Alright, his wifey was just too loaded! Since the rich lady didn’t care, then he’ll accept it. Just treat it as… helping his wife out in consuming the food, ha ha.

People would laugh their heads off if they were to hear of this. Who didn’t hide their food stores nowadays? Only this little oddball could do such a thing.

“The southern defensive wall needs reinforcing lately. I’ll have Official Song come select able-bodied adults for this mission. With food as payment, I’m certain that many people will be up to accept such an easy mission.

Qiao Mu hummed in agreement as she bobbed her head like a chick pecking at rice. In Mo Lian’s eyes, she looked so very cute that he stared at her in a trance the entire time.

Qiao Mu was unaware of his gaze at the beginning. By the time she was, she abruptly shielded his eyes with her hands. “You’re not allowed to look!”

“Naughty,” he groused. He pulled down her petite hands with his own and beamed at her while saying, “You’re not allowed to stop me from looking at you.”
