Chapter 556: Seeing Her True Appearance

Of course, Qiao Mu had no idea how racuous the entire Mo Kingdom capital had become.

She slept well into the morning and only realized that it was almost high noon when she opened her eyes.

The crown prince grinned at her while supporting his chin on the edge of the bed. When their eyes met, Qiao Mu instantly retracted her head into her brocade quilt-coc.o.o.n.

What was going on? That fellow’s slightly uplifted phoenix eyes were so alluring that she felt like her heart had skipped a beat when she met his gaze by accident. It was so baffling.

As she hid inside the quilt, she calmly took her own pulse.

It was quite normal! Her body was very healthy.

Suddenly, the entire quilt was lifted into the air, and the little fellow hastily poked her head out. “What are you doing?”

“Get up and change, then eat a little something. We still need to go out to visit your family. If you don’t get moving, we won’t even make it for lunch! We have to at least go back and eat a reunion meal, right.”

A reunion meal again…

The little fellow grumpily pursed her lips.

“You don’t need to work in the southern study today?”

“I’ve finished already.” The crown prince beamed as he wiped the little fellow’s face with a clean and damp face cloth. “Look at how efficient I am. I especially finished my work early so that we can stay with your family for the entire day today.”

Shaoyao, who was holding a change of clothes on the side, chuckled while covering her mouth.

“I’ll do it myself, I’ll do it myself!” Qiao Mu reached for the clothes, but the crown prince evaded her, insisting on helping her wear them.

Today, the little one changed into a light yellow lined gown with wide sleeves, which promptly embellished her delicate figure.

She then draped an extremely rare pearl white ice-thread sable cloak on the outside, its furry collar contrasting against her glossy and rosy face.

After Shaoyao braided her hair and adorned it with beaded flowers, the little fellow sat down in front of the dressing table and took out some medicinal powder, ma.s.saging it into her face.

The crown prince raised an eyebrow and smirked while observing her.

This little one was willing to reveal her true appearance after all.

While our dear Qiao Mu sat there fiddling with her face, she still felt a bit defiant. “Let me ask you, how did you and Duan Yue, as well as Situ Yi, recognize me with a single glance?”

Mo Lian replied with a smile, “Duan Yue and Situ Yi, those two guys, most definitely made a wild guess!”

“As for me, it’s naturally because,” the crown prince said as he walked towards her back, “Qiaoqiao’s every frown and smile has been imprinted deep within my heart. Even if I were blindfolded, I could still recognize you…”

Mo Lian stared blankly, his voice pausing before involuntarily finis.h.i.+ng with “with a single glance.”

The little fellow had turned around to look at him. That small, barefaced face that was colder than snow and more frigid than frost overlapped with the her in his memory.

No, she was even more beautiful than what he had imagined the grown-up her to look like.

Shaoyao widened her eyes abruptly and exclaimed excitedly, “Little Miss, you’ve become so pretty! That’s right, I was saying, how is it possible for the miss that was so fair and adorable as a child to be that ordinary-looking when grown up? I didn’t even dare to say anything about it these two days.”

She was scared that she might jab Miss’s sore spot, and she had originally concluded that girls that were pretty when younger would become ordinary-looking when grown up…

Qiao Mu glanced at her speechlessly.

The crown prince involuntarily broke out into laughter, and he pulled the little lady to his side. “Let’s go, we’ll be riding a carriage over.”

“That’s right, you might not know yet. Your father has been enn.o.bled as the Marquis of Jiayuan, and the entire Qiao Family has now moved into the Marquis of Jiayuan’s Estate, neighboring Minister Song’s family, on Minshun Boulevard.”
