Chapter 1190: Barred Outside the Door

When Qiao Mu turned around and saw Shaoyao chuckling to herself with a lowered head, she couldn’t help but ask in wonder, “What are you laughing secretly for?”

“No-Nothing.” She just recalled that day when His Highness messed about with Miss in grabbing food with their hands.

The queen had caught him on the spot with his oily hands, and recalling it now made her unable to restrain her smile.

“So weird.” Qiao Mu ate another pastry and drank half a bowl of porridge before rubbing her small, protruding belly. “Where is Mo Lian? He hasn’t returned yet.”

“His Highness is discussing matters with Mister Shangguan. He should be wrapping up soon.”

“Crown Prince Consort, Commandery Princess Yi’an is requesting an audience.” Xiao’xi’zi quickly walked inside.

“Who is she?” Qiao Mu set down her utensils and asked in puzzlement.

Shaoyao explained with a smile, “The day before yesterday, Commandery Princess Yi’an and all the royal concubines sent gifts to congratulate Miss’s advancement.”

“Oh.” Qiao Mu wiped her small mouth as she nodded and asked, “You accepted them all?”

“They’re all in the small storeroom. Does Miss want to go take a look?”

“No need.” Qiao Mu waved her small hand. “They’re all secular items, so what’s there to see.”

“That is so.” Shaoyao nodded, aware that her miss had loads more good stuff on hand, so it was natural that her miss would turn her nose up at these items.

After standing by the side for a good while, Xiao’xi’zi could not help but inquire when he saw that the crown prince consort did not respond, “Does the crown prince consort want this servant to turn away the commandery princess?”

“Turn her away.” Qiao Mu nodded. She did not have the leisure to see this person and then that person. If she had that time, then she might as well quietly refine some pills.

Xiao’xi’zi retreated out of the room with a nod. Subsequently, he went up to Commandery Princess Yi’an with a smile and informed, “Will the commandery princess excuse me. The little master is still resting, so if the commandery princess has something to say, you might as well leave this servant with a message. When the little master wakes up, this servant will then pass it on.”

Commandery Princess Yi’an was stunned, as if not expecting Qiao Mu to bar her outside the door.

Even if it was on account of the queen dowager, no one could do such a thing without regard to other people’s pride. How unversed was this young crown prince consort about the ways of the world?

However, Yi’an did not show any dissatisfaction on her face and just shook her head. “No need, Since the crown prince consort is still resting, I will not be disturbing any further. I will come drop in again another day.”

“Alright.” Xiao’xi’zi was all smiles as he nodded. “Allow this servant to see the commandery princess out.”

Afterwards, Yi’an turned to leave, her deep gaze looking up above the palace.

The young crown prince consort was probably not so easy to deal with.

“Commandery Princess, she does not like us, so why do we have to come and curry favor with her.” Xu’er fumed indignantly while following behind her.

“What do you understand.” Yi’an cast her a faint glance. “Only by knowing your enemy and yourself can you never be defeated.”

“Although this crown prince consort may be young, she exudes an absolute bizarreness.” Yi’an clenched her fists. “Her cultivation is too strange. In all my years, I have never seen anyone who could break through to level-14 cultivation at age 15.”

“It must be because His Highness the Crown Prince gave her many miracle elixirs.” Xu’er pursed her lips and said, “I have heard that people with these pill-induced false cultivation states are actually useless. Once they enter combat, they will get utterly routed in moments.”

Yet Yi’an glanced at her in amusement before saying with a shake of her head, “That might not be the case.”
