2374 Lady Little Emperor...
Qiao Mu turned around, showing him the back of her head again as she ate…
Duan Yue couldn't resist chuckling. He picked up his chopsticks and started eating. He knitted his brows when he saw Xiao'ke'zi freeze up beside him. "Why are you just standing there."
"Y-Your Highness, do you not find this ermine to be quite mystical?"
"Of course she is!" Duan Yue smiled proudly. "Who was the one who adopted her? You think your master, I, would adopt an ordinary ermine!"
Qiao Mu did not wish to acknowledge a certain person's smugness. After finishing her sparerib, she looked at the pot of soup in dismay.
In the end, Duan Yue understood her troubles and poured some soup into a small dish for her to drink, thereby solving her problem.
Xiao'ke'zi was dumbstruck…
This eccentric ermine not only was fussy before eating. It was so human-like even while eating.
It was very particular. It wouldn't eat from a used plate. Anything she ate had to be put into a clean plate. It'd glare at you if the soup was too hot, or bark at you if it was too salty. It also needed its paws washed again after eating.
This wasn't an ermine!
This was a little emperor ermine!
After eating her fill and directing Duan Yue to wash her clean, Qiao Mu laid on his divan, forcibly occupying it!
This weak ermine was only a minor mystic beast that wasn't even level three. It was so d*mn weak.
It would probably starve to death if it didn't eat for a day.
Beside, little Qiaoqiao was hoping that feeding this weak body would make it grow a bit bigger so that it could run faster in times of danger. Even if she couldn't win in a fight, she could at least flee for her life.
Upon turning around, Duan Yue saw the little fellow just lying there like a couch potato.
He curled up his lips in amusement. Just as he was about to walk over and play with her, there was the sound of servants outside the curtain to the yurt.
"Greetings to Your Highness the Noble Consort."
"This noble consort can go inside on my own." Noble Consort Duan's gentle voice ordered her entourage to stay outside.
A personal royal maid helped lift up the curtain for her, and Noble Consort Duan walked inside with a smile.
"Mom, why have you come?" Duan Yue quickly turned around and walked up to his mother with a grin.
"Mom heard that you went outside to play and met with danger. What, I can't come see you?"
"Mom, don't listen to their blabbing." Duan Yue helped his mother to a stool. "Your son is mighty and valiant. How can several petty thieves hurt me?"
"What petty thieves. Mom heard that it was that heartless crown prince from the Nether Province."
"Humph." Duan Yue raised his brow noncommittally. "He's just a defeated opponent. It's not worth mentioning at all."
"You child." Noble Consort Duan glared at her son in both amusement and exasperation. "You're being cocky."
"Mom, your son naturally has the qualifications to be cocky." Duan Yue sat down beside his mother with a smile. He reached out to pour her tea.
On the other hand, little Qiaoqiao laid on the divan and observed Noble Consort Duan with wide open eyes.
Noble Consort Duan's majestic poise and grace, as well as her gentle aura, made Qiao Mu feel that this woman was extremely elegant.
Besides, this was also the first time she saw Duan Yue interacting with his mother.
They were mother and son, but seemed more like friends. There was a very comfortable warmth between them.
"You've just been naughty ever since you were young." Noble Consort Duan smiled with closed lips. She caught sight of the small furball on the divan out of the corner of her eye.
