1340 Special Honor...

Didn't she vow to personally subdue the nightcaw birds?

How did she just fall asleep!

Qiao Mu's short-circuited brain finally got wired again, and those two maidservants also cried out as they came forward.

"Crown Prince Consort."

"Crown Prince Consort, you have woken up!"

Qiao Mu glanced at them bewilderedly before nodding mechanically. "Where is the crown prince."

"Crown Prince Consort, you have no idea. Late last night, His Highness the Crown Prince along with three masterful young sirs shot down eight monstrous birds." That young maidservant's face glowed the moment she started talking about this, as if she were the one who had shot down those eight nightcaw birds.

The other person cupped her face with her hands as she gushed besottedly, "Heavens, the huge commotion last night woke up the entire city. The four young sirs' heroic bearing at the city gate tower simply compels admiration."

Qiao Mu deadpanned, "I'm asking you where is the crown prince!"

What the hell were you yapping about! Qiao Mu bounced off the bed and trotted over to wash her face.

"Crown Prince Consort, do you know how incredible His Highness was! His Highness broke that squawking monstrous bird's wings with his bare hands, pulling it down from mid-air."

"Right, right! That Young Sir Qin, truly is amazing…"

The heck, were you done with your starry-eyed infatuation yet? Qiao Mu pulled over one of the young girls who was cupping her face with her hands and then clobbered the latter's forehead. "I'm asking you, where is the crown prince!!"

Her shout was light and crisp, but the volume was almost about to break through the highest heavens…

Five minutes later, that maidservant pursed her lips into a frown and held her throbbing forehead as she led Qiao Mu toward the City Lord's Estate's rear garden.

After the rainstorm yesterday, the ground had been flushed clean from the rainwater.

Glistening droplets hung from the tree branches. When one looked into the distance, the world seemed to have brightened from this downpour.

After bringing Qiao Mu to a round arched door, that maidservant probed her head inside while still pursing her lips. "His Highness had instructed that he not be bothered. He is inside with the other young sirs."

Rolling up her small sleeves, Qiao Mu asked in surprise as she turned to point at the numerous females hanging onto the outer wall, "What are they doing?"

Frick, these women couldn't be crazy right? Why were some of them also holding banners?

"They've come to the City Lord's Estate to demand for wages?"

"What demand for wages!"

"Aiyah, Crown Prince Consort, you do not know." Speaking of this, that young maidservant's voice became gentle as she recalled with a flushed and smitten look, "Late last night, His Highness the Crown Prince and the three young sirs rapidly charged to our Rice City's tallest city gate tower and fought fiercely with those monstrous birds. Their martial skills truly were too dashing, alright!"

However, Qiao Mu merely raised her hand and smacked the back of that maidservant's head. "Get to the point!"

"As they saved all the citizens in the city, they are now the best husband candidates of all the young girls in Rice City. At present, the girls have already designated them as the four great beaus of Rice City, as well as successfully jumped to the top of the ranking for the ten great beaus of Rice City!"

Qiao Mu gave a chortle before subsequently pulling her little stoic face taut again.

Afterwards…

She was freaking unable to keep a poker face and started howling with laughter.

The maidservant who had been leading the way was dumbfounded, and then she asked confusedly, "Crown Prince Consort, are you unhappy that His Highness is so popular!"

This laughter was probably faked right? Otherwise, why was it so stiff, like an artificial smile. She was probably ballistic on the inside!

Qiao Mu: The four great beaus of Rice City, hahahahaha! What a grand special honor!
