1410 Perspicacious
"You're saying that. That Commandery Princess Yi'an likes you and wants to get married to you? So that's why she's been approaching me and has been attempting to act like good sisters with me?"
Look, this little fellow was just so perspicacious, being able to learn by analogy.
She was able to understand completely with just a hint.
It looked like guiding her to cognizance was a promising idea. He had to push it up the agenda as soon as possible!
Meanwhile, Qiao Mu was feeling vexed.
For some reason, when she heard Mo Lian say that that whoever commandery princess had actually wholeheartedly wanted to get married to him, she felt as if she had swallowed a fly. She felt disgusted all over!
"When is she getting married?"
Wasn't this topic shifting too abruptly? Mo Lian replied while being unable to restrain his smile, "After the queen dowager's birthday feast."
"You can't let her get married right away?" Darling Qiao deadpanned.
Mo Lian let out an uncontrollable chortle. "It is already considered a slapdash wedding for a vassal prince and commandery princess to get married in one month."
Darling Qiao frowned. "Then fine, I wish them a long and happy life together."
Look at how awkward she was acting with her cheeky expression.
Laughing out loud, Mo Lian scooped her up onto his legs. "Qiaoqiao, so you're not happy."
"I am indeed not happy." Qiao Mu nodded candidly. "I don't like that she likes you."
Mo Lian's eyes shone brightly as he looked down at her. "Darling, do you know why."
Qiao Mu nodded and replied straightforwardly, "Because you are mine. I prohibit her from liking you."
Oh my, goodness. This answer simply made Crown Prince Mo wild with joy…
"What should I do, darling. You mesmerize me to death."
This guy had drawn up to her so closely that she could see the light flitting through his beautiful eyes. Sure enough, his handsomeness made her heart flustered.
Qiao Mu coughed dryly and chided herself for being a failure, while her large eyes glanced around skittishly in embarrassment.
"Do you know Qiaoqiao." Mo Lian cupped her petite face and turned it back to him. He then looked straight at her as he asserted seriously, "My like for you cannot be described in words."
Qiao Mu contemplated before responding with a nod, "Me too."
Crown Prince Mo restrained his smile as he continued seriously, "You cannot begin to imagine the depth of my love for you."
Darling Qiao tilted her head and contemplated again before nodding subsequently. "Me too."
Look, this little fellow was too interesting! She was just someone who didn't commit herself until success was certain.
You had to make a big stride first before she would follow suit with a small step. Some day, her small steps would catch up to him, and they would walk abreast.
Crown Prince Mo once again praised himself in his heart. Thank goodness, how was he just so brilliant and wise back then. He admired his quick wit very much.
Qiao Mu reached out to knead his face. "I just don't get it. Since the fourth princess had already been given a clear rejection, then why can't she just switch to another path. Must she bash her head against Eldest Qin, this iron tree?"
"Not everyone is as resolute as you." Crown Prince Mo's heart throbbed, and he hugged her tightly while stroking her hair.
You say she didn't understand love, yet sometimes she was so perspicacious about it.
Mo Lian bent down to kiss her cheek. "Qiaoqiao, let me ask you something. The small illustrated booklet I found in your trunk yesterday, was it for you to learn… mfhm, mhfph! Hmfph?"
Mo Lian's phoenix eyes opened wide as he aimed a perfectly guileless look toward Qiao Mu, who was covering his mouth.
He watched as the little fellow spat in annoyance before she immediately hopped off his thigh and ran outside with a reddened face…
