Vassal King Consort Wu blustered, “This girl may be young, but she is a total seductress and absolutely obscene!”
A witch?
At this thought, a cold light passed through Chou Fu’s eyes.
Witches should be disposed of as soon as possible to avoid bringing disaster to people!
“Fu’er.” Vassal King Consort Wu recollected her sorrowful emotions, wiping her reddened eyes as she smiled at Chou Fu. “Speaking of which, you are already twenty-five this year. Mom has selected a few good young ladies and plans to invite them to a flower-viewing banquet. At that time, you can take a look and tell Mom which one strikes your fancy…”
“No need, Mom.” Chou Fu shook his head lightly. “This son already has someone in mind for the position of vassal prince consort.”
“Oh?” The Vassal King Consort of An’nan was taken aback, but she inquired with a smile, “Which family’s young lady caught my proud son’s eye?”
“It is Commandery Princess Yi’an, Mother.”
“What? That hoodoo?” The Vassal King Consort of An’nan’s face fell, and she hastily shook her head in objection. “No way! You cannot marry that jinx who caused her parents’ deaths. Who knows if she might curse our Vassal King’s Estate.”
“She is destined to have a hard lot in life! You cannot marry her. Besides, her family background makes her useless to you. That Marquis of Su’an’s Estate is under her aunt’s charge, so she has no connection to it at all!”
“Mother, as long as the queen dowager is standing behind her, what does a mere Marquis of Su’an’s Estate amount to?”
Wu Hongmo sighed before acknowledging with a nod, “That is indeed the case. The queen dowager likes her very much, but unfortunately, she is still destined to have a hard lot in life. After hexing her parents to death, what to do if she also hexes Mother and your father?”
“Mother, if you are worried, you can go request the Great Sea Monastery’s Abbot Konghui for several Buddhist seals to keep her in check.”
“Mother, at present, no noble lady is as honorable as her.” Chou Fu rephrased his words with a thought, “This son will naturally marry the best in this world.”
Wu Hongmo smiled with closed lips and assented with a smile, “Child, you are correct. Then I will host the flower-viewing banquet as planned and also invite Yi’an.”
—-My Qiao’s section break—-
*Knock, knock, knock, knock, knock!*
After knocking on the door to the secret room, Mo Lian led his wifey out. However, before he could sit down for breakfast, they heard the sonorous sounds of gusts and blows due to fighting coming from beyond the courtyard.
“Why is it you? You audacious guy, how dare you barge into our Eastern Palace!” Huifeng yowled twice outside before turning silent.
A swift figure suddenly flitted inside with a whoosh, sitting before Mo Lian at once.
“Qiaoqiao, Qiaoqiao, I am Duan Yue. Remember me?” Duan Yue pointed at himself with one hand while propping his chin with the other as he observed Qiao Mu’s expressionless face like this.
Qiao Mu had grabbed a thin pancake with her hands and was nibbling on it. However, the sound of fighting could be heard again.
Crown Prince Mo raised his eyebrow with a spurious smile.
Subsequently, Situ Yi also darted inside with a flash. “Good morning, Little Junior Sister! Your senior brother, me, has still not eaten breakfast. This is perfect, let us eat together.”
Mo Lian gave an ironic chuckle as he looked at these two uninvited fellows.
“From the fact that you two have barged into This Highness’s Eastern Palace without permission, are you thinking of rebelling?” Mo Lian curled his lips satirically.
“What rebelling? We came to see Little Junior Sister (Qiaoqiao).” The two answered in unison.
Meanwhile, Huifeng and the others rushed inside while panting, and they spoke while wiping their heads of sweat, “Your Highness.”
“Alright, you all go out first.”
