1362 Carrying Away the Love Rival
"Qiaoqiao, when did you invite him over? How long has it been?" Most importantly, has it been two hours yet? If it hasn't then he would have to take some measures.
He was a very vigilant person with crisis awareness. He absolutely would not leave such a peerlessly sinful devil with his wife…
Even though the little fellow had yet to be enlightened to the matters of the heart, there was no guarantee that someone wouldn't be able to take advantage of this opportunity!
When Qiao Mu heard this question, she was startled. Then, she tilted her head and thought long and hard. "It-It seems to have been quite long already. I spent the entire afternoon in the ancestral hall…"
Oh, that's right. Just earlier she hadn't even realized that His Excellency the Venerable Immortal had existed for more than two hours!
Crown Prince Mo's expression changed drastically, especially when he thought of Qiaoqiao's oddball summoned beasts. "It couldn't be that he won't return after being summoned right?"
"It couldn't be!" Qiao Mu looked at a certain venerable immortal who had collapsed by the flower rack and was sleeping while sprawled out on his back without any concern for his image. Her mouth twitched speechlessly.
"Qiaoqiao, Qiaoqiao."
"Aiyah, it's Mom! Mom will start nagging again if she sees you!" Qiao Mu pushed the crown prince and exclaimed with her stoic expression, "Leave quickly. Mom said that we can't see each other these few days."
"Fine, fine, fine. Then we'll see each other three days later." Mo Lian swiftly stole a kiss from her cheeks and agilely dodged the little fellow's pinch. He then darted to the Venerable Peach Blossom Immortal and lifted up this drunken guy before jumping up onto the wall.
"Hey, where are you going to throw him?" In any case, this was a great deity she had invited with a deity-inviting talisman…
"Don't worry." Mo Lian waved his hand and ducked his head before he finished speaking, disappearing from the wall.
Wei Ziqin strode in quickly with a group of people and peered around suspiciously. "Qiaoqiao, who are you talking to?"
"No one!" Qiao Mu turned around to look at her mother.
Wei Ziqin only had doubts for a few seconds before a smile filled her face again. "Child, come quickly and try on the wedding dress with its adjustments."
"I just said my daughter had gotten a lot skinnier. Look at this waist, it's so slim that you can't even see it anymore."
"Mom, it's not that excessive."
One day later, Mo Lian sent Qiao Mu a message: 'The guy that you said would vanish in two hours is still inside the palace happily stuffing himself with food.'
Qiao Mu: …
The days just flew by like this amongst the busy preparations.
On the day that had been agreed upon before, the palace sent over many items: jewelry, fabric, silver and jade wares for everyday use, etc. It was simply innumerable.
Just the hairpins and bangles that were inlaid with various gems and pearls numbered more than a hundred.
The pelts used for making bedding and cloaks of various styles were classified into marten, otter, fox pelts, with each numbering more than one hundred. Not to mention, there were countless silk and satin fabrics.
Naturally, it did not lack the various grains and foodstuffs that were in high demand nowadays.
Qiao Mu simply couldn't be bothered to look through these items. When her mom had people send them to her court, she just let them pile up on the floor…
The day before the wedding, the Qiao Family sent the crown prince consort's dowry to the Eastern Palace.
It dazzled people so and was truly characterized by the saying: a thousand mu of fertile fields and ten miles of red dowry. The chests of dowry meandered into a long line as they were hoisted outside one by one.
The items placed in the open area inside Qiao Mu's court had practically filled up the entire space.
Besides the items that the king and the queen bestowed, there was also everything that Crown Prince Mo had privately turned over to her. There were deeds for buildings, lands, and shops. There was so much to look at that it made one's head swim.
She had long known that her hubby was rich, but she truly felt faint when faced with this pile.
