1366 Wedding (4)
After boarding the royal carriage, Crown Prince Mo gripped her petite hand the entire time as his phoenix eyes stared straight at his wifey.
Qiao Mu turned to glance at him. "What are you staring at me for?"
"You're especially pretty today," Mo Lian whispered. He then raised her petite hand to his lips and kissed it. "What should I do? I don't want other people to see you like this."
"You're handsome today too." Qiao Mu's eyes brightened as she added with a nod. "Especially, especially handsome."
Mo Lian almost laughed out loud, and while holding her hand, he said "Qiaoqiao, just now when you were smiling at me, do you know what I was thinking."
Qiao Mu shook her small head.
"I was thinking, it would be great if I could capture that moment in a painting. This kind of smile is what I like the most and what I always want to see. It is the most valuable thing in this lifetime…" He squeezed her hand gently.
Qiao Mu pressed her lips together while gently wriggling her fingertips in his palm. "There's no need."
"Hm?"
"There's no need to go through so much trouble to capture it in a painting!" The little fellow winked, saying, "If you want to see it, I'll just smile for you."
Happiness came so suddenly that Crown Prince Mo was wild with joy. He stretched out his arm, wanting to scoop her up into his embrace, but on second thought, he held back as they were still in the royal carriage and surrounded by people everywhere.
His eyes curved with a gentle smile. "Qiaoqiao, you treat me so well."
"But of course." Qiao Mu nodded.
Just as the royal carriage exited Minshun Boulevard, a gift parade blocked their path.
Eight snow-white horses led the way, followed by a line of people holding trays who stood before the crowd.
Xiao'xi'zi, who was also present, rapidly ran over and bent down to whisper into the crown prince's ear.
The crown prince's handsome face immediately turned somewhat sour…
"The fourth young sir of the Duan Clan congratulates the crown prince consort for her wedding and respectfully presents eight pairs of Jade Heavenly Thunder, 18 spirit-freezing beads, one gold-threaded mirage sea robe, one firefox armor, three phoenix flying-cloud knives, five grand emperor miracle pills, 100 dotted starry-leaves…"
The list of various rare treasures, concealed weapons, magical weapons, and miracle elixirs went on for about five minutes…
Qiao Mu looked back at Mo Lian, and the couple exchanged a glance.
The common people lining the sides of the street were stupefied by what they heard.
This list of presents was too terrifying, no? They common people had never even heard of those Jade Heavenly Thunder or that gold-threaded mirage sea robe in their lives!
This Fourth Young Sir Duan was so generous!
A steward from the Duan Clan respectfully handed the list of presents to the crown prince consort.
The young crown prince consort swept a glance over it. She then confiscated it after calmly saying "quite good."
Everyone: "…"
Even though the Crown Prince Mo's mouth curved up, gleaming daggers were flickering in his eyes.
If this Duan Yue dared to walk in front of him right now, he would absolutely beat him to death!
Why the f*ck would you choose to block the way and send presents at this time!
Would sending the list of presents to the Eastern Palace kill you or somethin'?
He was harboring evil designs…
Yet Mo Lian soon discovered that Duan Yue really wasn't the only one harboring evil designs.
It was like those few people had communicated beforehand to send presents by blocking the way.
Qiao Mu received the list of presents from the eldest young sir and second young sir of the Qin Estate in succession.
She appraised the eldest young sir's as "fairly passable."
While for the second young sir's, she just said "mediocre."
Everyone: "…"
