“Your Highness, the crown prince consort is still young, so don’t bully her,” Shaoyao reminded in a low voice.
The way you’re saying it sounds like… he was that impatient to get on with it! Crown Prince Mo felt like it would be impossible to explain himself.
Could it be that you’re all blind? Couldn’t you see that your crown prince consort was the one that pounced over here by herself and pushed me down?
“Alright, alright, all of you leave now.” The crown prince snatched the little fellow’s hand from Shaoyao and chased everyone out.
Didn’t you see how his darling’s eyes were currently hazy? She obviously still wanted to sleep, yet these bunch of tactless people were still lingering about when the sky was already about to brighten in a while!
“Qiaoqiao, you had a nightmare?” The crown prince held her small hand and carried her as he walked towards the bed. “Sleep for a bit more. Everything’s fine, it’s only a dream.”
“Snake, there’s a snake.” Qiao Mu hooked tightly onto his neck, not letting go, and she refused to sleep on the bed again no matter what.
Snake? The crown prince quickly walked up and checked the bed, both inside and out, but didn’t discover anything.
The servants would clean the Eastern Palace every day, so it was normally dry and tidy. How could there be a snake?
However, the little fellow wouldn’t randomly make a fuss over nothing; if she said there was a snake, then she certainly saw it with her own eyes.
“Don’t worry.” Mo Lian carried the little one back to the soft couch beside the window with an aching heart. “You sleep here for now. I’ll go around to check again.”
Qiao Mu truly was drowsy, and she fell asleep as soon as her head hit the pillow.
However, because she had been spooked earlier, she couldn’t sleep very soundly.
It wasn’t until after a pair of warm hands caressed her face that Qiao Mu was finally able to fall into a deep slumber.
Early the next morning, Qiao Mu had a weird dream while half-asleep.
In her dream, she saw that little snake slithering around for a bit while burrowed in the snow. A full and bulging sack was wrapped around the top of its head as it aggrievedly glanced back at her with pitiful, watery eyes.
The character “Summon” could faintly be discerned beneath its slanted crown.
Summoned beast? Qiao Mu immediately woke up with a start!
When her small hand thwacked a bulging sack, Qiao Mu was slightly at a loss.
She immediately lowered her head to take a look. Wasn’t this the cotton print sack that the little snake was carrying on its back in her dream?
Coming to this realization, the little fellow shuddered with a jolt, and she kicked the sack off the soft couch with a trembling leg. However, the sack opening loosened, and a variety of items dropped out of it with a rustle.
Gold, silver, and jade wares, inkstones, incense, pearls, jadeite, coral, agate, amber, ivory, and all kinds of colorful gemstones. There was too much to list, but in short, there was everything valuable that one could think of.
Oh my heavens, this nondescript cotton print sack was actually hiding an entire cosmos! Did it sack half of the royal palace’s treasury!!
As our dear Qiao Mu sat on top of a growing pile of jewels, she gazed in bewilderment at the jadeites and jewelry that kept spilling out of the sack nonstop. She simply didn’t know what to say.
“Miss!” Shaoyao walked in cheerfully, but her eyes bulged immediately afterwards, and she hastily turned around to shut the door tightly.
“T-This?? Miss! Where did this come from!” Why were these precious stones and metals still piling up unceasingly without end?
Shaoyao’s yell caused Qiao Mu to come to her senses, and she quickly stood up from the pile of jewels, frantically putting everything away.
It was with great difficulty that they finally stuffed these items back into that frumpish cotton print sack, returning the room to its original state.
Afterwards, the master and servant both looked at each other in stupefaction.
“M-Miss, t-this is a Cosmos Treasure Sack, right. According to legend, only divine weapon engineers can fabricate such a treasure sack. W-Where did Miss get it from?”
Qiao Mu opened her mouth.
