2554 His Highness the Crown Prince Is Here
The little fellow nodded. She sat there grumpily.
She couldn't help but mull over what the Kang Prince Consort had mentioned just earlier.
Young Lady Chen was going to make a comeback and claim a spot in the crown prince's estate?
Phooey!
Chen Baojia, this woman could dream!
She completely understood by now what exactly Chen Baojia wanted to feel out.
Chen Baojia wanted to probe her temperament.
Presumably, they thought that she, a "village girl" who followed the crown prince to the Divine Province from the Lower Star Domain, must be a meek and subservient wimp.
They did not expect the little fellow to be an ignited firecracker that could explode people's skeletons to bits.
If she was a wimp, this Young Lady Chen must have plotted to approach her using various methods and then slowly bide her time.
Right now, Chen Baojia must be regretting having said too much that made Qiao Mu figure out the truth.
The little fellow scrunched up her petite face and wrung her sleeves.
Liu Yiran was stomping inside indignantly when she just so happened to see this ethereally beautiful face.
This encounter promptly made her chest hurt from fury.
She had gone to the banquet with the Kang Prince Consort! Yet when she came out, she didn't see the Kang Prince Consort's carriage.
It was only when she asked Young Lady Chen that she learned the Kang Prince Consort had long left with the crown prince consort!
This promptly made Liu Yiran's stomach churn from anger, and her entire body also screamed painfully from hatred.
The Kang Prince Consort had just abandoned her!
Did she not want her pride?
This had never happened before!
Even after adopting her, the Kang Prince Consort and her were not close because their temperaments were not compatible. However, the Kang Prince Consort at least gave her face in front of outsiders!
Yet now?
The Kang Prince Consort actually left her hanging and eagerly brought back this stoic-faced crown prince consort!
Liu Yiran's lips jerked from anger, and she pointed at Qiao Mu. "What, what are you doing here?"
Qiao Mu looked at her and answered evenly, "Waiting for Imperial Aunt. We're eating dinner together."
"Who, who's eating dinner with you?" Liu Yiran cried out. Afterwards, she realized her slip of the tongue and glowered at Qiao Mu. Before waiting for Qiao Mu to react, she hastily dashed out the door to her own courtyard.
Qiao Mu watched her flee with distaste, but she didn't say anything.
There was nothing worth haggling about with an immature dummy.
The old prince came back as expected. The Kang Prince Consort hastily pulled over Qiao Mu and personally introduced her to the old prince.
The old prince was very happy. After chatting a bit with Qiao Mu, he was even more pleased.
The couple had Lady Qiaoqiao stay and eat with them.
Liu Yiran sat at the table like a cooling machine, intangibly emitting cold air, yet the other three people treated her as invisible. They continued talking and completely ignored Liu Yiran's existence.
At this time, the steward jogged inside. He wiped his brow and quickly reported, "Reporting to the prince and the prince consort, His Highness the Crown Prince is here. His carriage has arrived at the entrance."
The Kang Prince Consort was stunned.
The old prince couldn't resist throwing down his chopsticks and walked out. He chided, "This little brat! He must have come to look for his wife. How long has it been? He's so impatient."
