My Crown Prince Consort Is a Firecracker! - Chapter 2706

2706 Advanced a Level Completed
“I spent my time in the southern study, engrossed in studying the details. I also briefed Father about the concept of Heavenly Fate and the situation with the zombies.”

Qiao Mu nodded. Recognizing the significance of this matter, she understood the urgency of conveying it to the Emperor promptly.

She was also determined to prevent the vast Divine Province from falling into turmoil like Sikong Planet had in the past.

To be fair, Sikong Planet’s situation was far better than what she had experienced in her previous life.

At the very least, the zombie outbreak was not as dire as it had been in her previous existence.

She believed that by managing this issue carefully, she could exert a degree of control over the situation.

“Did your father respond in any way?”

“Him? He seemed rather surprised,” Crown Prince Mo said with a hint of disdain, recollecting how his father had reached out to him the previous night. “Such an ignorant man.”

A chuckle escaped Qiao Mu as she observed the expression on the Crown Prince’s face.

“The situation in Luwan City demands our utmost attention,” Crown Prince Mo continued without pause. He skillfully fashioned his wife’s hair into a simple yet lively bun, then selected a hairpin from the box, a Viscount creation he had personally crafted. Without hesitation, he adorned her hair with it.

Crown Prince Mo’s eyes brightened as his wife emerged from behind the screen, wearing a translucent purple gown. He extended his hand to clasp her waist. “Qiaoqiao, you become more captivating with each passing day.”

Qiao Mu didn’t blush like other young women might in such a situation.

Rather, a sense of self-satisfaction welled within her. She agreed wholeheartedly with Crown Prince Mo’s assessment.

“I intend to conduct an inspection of the shop’s progress today, overseeing the handover,” Qiao Mu declared, lifting her delicate chin.

“I’ll accompany you.”

“Time to get some sleep,” Qiao Mu remarked with a swift glance in his direction.

/Didn’t this person pull an all-nighter? Shouldn’t he catch up on his sleep?/

Crown Prince Mo playfully held her dainty hand. “I’ll catch up on my sleep in the carriage.”

“No need. We have that palace banquet to attend tonight. You won’t have the energy,” Qiao Mu pulled at his sleeve. “Go and rest.”

Crown Prince Mo’s eyes sparkled. He embraced Qiao Mu and inquired tenderly, “Qiaoqiao, are you feeling sorry for your Hubby?”

Qiao Mu gave him a look that clearly said, “Don’t be absurd.” She playfully swatted his rear with her small hand. “Go to sleep!”

Subsequently, she turned around and called for Caixiu, the embroiderer, and the others, allowing them to board a carriage and depart.

Crown Prince Mo stood frozen for a considerable moment, even the tips of his ears involuntarily turned crimson.

It took a while for her words to fully register!

/Oh heavens, did Her Excellency Lady Qiaoqiao just tease me?/

Little did Qiao Mu know that she had inadvertently taken liberties with a certain someone. She had been somewhat absent-minded and thoughtless…

Just as she was about to enter the carriage and set off, Qi Xuanxuan’s delighted screech interrupted her chain of thought.

“Oh dear, my dear Qiaoqiao!” Qi Xuanxuan hopped onto the carriage, embracing her tightly and nearly planting a kiss on her. “I missed you so much, Qiaoqiao!”

Qiao Mu quickly covered her mouth with her hand and exclaimed in an uncontrollable manner, “Y-You, hold on right there! You guys have already crossed a line! Ugh, you reek! Hurry up and go take a bath!”
“Yes, indeed,” Qi Xuanxuan nodded. She hiked up her sleeve and took a whiff, almost making herself swoon from the odor.

“Wow, I seriously reek!”

Qiao Mu felt a mix of amusement and exasperation. She gently pushed away the chubby face and turned to address the group that had gathered around: Little Fatty, Ma Ta, Duanmu Qing, and the others. “I’ve arranged rooms for all of you. Eunuch Zhao, please guide them to the Viscount’s quarters to freshen up and rest.”

“Of course, everyone, this way please.”

“Qiaoqiao, are you heading out!? Wait for me, I’ll join you.”

“No need. You’ve been leveling up for quite a while, so take a day to rest. I’ll be back in the evening, so I’ll take my leave now!”
