Chapter 838: Couldn’t Even Control Her Heart
Now, seeing Crown Prince Mo giving her a toothy smile, with waves rippling inside his curved phoenix eyes, her small heart started throbbing crazily and uncontrollably!
Goodness! This was her heart, so how could it not be under her control!
This was all his fault, causing her to be unable to control her own heart! What was so good about smiling? He’s not allowed to smile at her!
The moment she let down the curtain, she still heard his hearty laughter. This infuriated the little fellow into gritting her teeth, and she motioned with her fingertip.
Qiao Zhongbang was very scared and on edge, watching his daughter in case she was about to do something.
In the end, he saw the little fellow pulling out a fresh and juicy carrot from her inner world and chomping down on it, her munching sounds ringing out crisply.
She was chomping on it as if it were a certain person’s head!
Wei Ziqin was promptly amused, and she put her arm around her daughter’s shoulder, pinching her small face with a smile. She found that the little fellow was kind of cute when she was angry, being a bit more lively than her usual expressionless self.
The carriage soon passed through Huabei Gate, entering the palace without a hitch.
They cruised along the spacious greenish-black stone-paved avenue all the way to the Gate of Health, where they finally came to a stop.
After reaching the inner gate, everyone had to alight from the carriage and either board a palanquin or a sedan chair.
The crown prince’s royal carriage had long been parked by the side. Crown Prince Mo dismounted his horse and ran up to the Qiao Family’s carriage, whereupon he saw the little fellow poke her head out of the carriage while holding a carrot in her mouth.
Without even thinking, he stepped forward to carry her up, and he couldn’t help chuckling when he looked down. “Qiaoqiao, you’re hungry? No problem, I’ve already prepared breakfast for you on the royal carriage. Let’s eat a bit before going over.”
“Benefactor, it is improper for males and females to make physical contact…”
“Shut up!” Crown Prince Mo irritably looked down at the little baldy that was clutching to a corner of his robe.
“Have you done your morning recitation?”
“I did, I did half…” The little baldy inexplicably answered, while also feeling a bit guilty.
“What does it mean to have done half?” Mo Lian put on a stern face and rebuked in a low voice, which really made him look quite scary.
Indeed, the little monk was intimidated, and he responded while trembling with fear, “That’s because, B-Benefactr-… Sister was going to run away!”
Qiao Mu gruffly cast a glance at the big and small duo.
‘”Continue reciting your scriptures after eating.” Less prattling on the side, affecting his and Qiaoqiao’s brief time together as a couple!
“Okay.” The little monk knew that he was in the wrong, so after Crown Prince Mo picked him up and set him down in the royal carriage, he picked up his bowl of vegetarian food and took a bite.
After that, his large eyes lit up. “Delicious!”
Wei Ziqin and them also boarded their sedan chairs, heading in a different direction from Qiao Zhongbang and Qiao Sen.
The noon banquet that invited the family members of fifth-rank officials and above were separated into male and female seating, with the male guests heading towards the King’s Palace.
On the other hand, the female guests all headed towards Her Majesty the Queen’s Central Palace. After first wishing the queen a Happy New Year, they would sit down together and eat some dumplings for a small bite before the noon banquet.
In contrast, the night banquet was for the family members of third-rank officials and above, as well as the capital’s eight great patrician families.
They had to take care of the pride of the eight great patrician families, after all.
With the prosperous practice of martial arts on the Sikong Planet, the status of the eight great patrician families in the capital was not inferior to that of the three dukes and six marquis.
The grand banquet at night would be co-hosted by the king and the queen in the garden of Clearwater Fine Park, with no distinction between males and females. After all, the invited guests were people from the patrician families that didn’t bother about trifles, let alone guarding females against males.
Apparently, this Clearwater Fine Park, although newly constructed, had already become a famous scenic spot in the palace. The entire garden also contained three embedded gardens within, so it naturally wasn’t possible to stroll through all of it in one night.
Besides, the banquet was to be held primarily in Clearwater Fine Park’s southern garden.
