?
Chen Mo was montarily stunned.
He thought the wardrobe might hold so items, but he didn’t expect it to be so complete!
"Wow, Director Xu, I didn’t expect you to have such a contrasting side!" Chen Mo clicked his tongue.
"..."
Xu Qingyi wished she could find a hole to crawl into.
If she had known earlier, she wouldn’t have brought him here. It was utterly embarrassing!
"It’s all your fault, for giving those things and spanking... spanking ... Otherwise, I... I wouldn’t have..." Xu Qingyi clenched the hem of her dress with her delicate hands, biting her lip, "I warn you, don’t you dare tell the Empress about this, or else..."
"Or else what? Are you going to strangle with a thong?" Chen Mo said with a bit of amusent.
Xu Qingyi glared at him, annoyed, "Or else I’ll ignore you forever! From now on, you go your way, I’ll go mine..."
Before she could finish, her body shuddered abruptly, and she looked at Chen Mo in disbelief.
Chen Mo silently released his hand and cleared his throat, "Cough cough, sorry, got carried away... continue speaking."
Xu Qingyi took a deep breath, cald down, and said, "You can’t bully just because you have the Eastern Royal Palace’s edict..."
Chen Mo frowned, "What are you saying? Without the edict, do you think I won’t bully you?"
"..."
Xu Qingyi’s bosom heaved slightly, feeling like this guy would be the death of her soday!
"Just kidding, don’t worry, this is our secret, I won’t tell anyone." Chen Mo blinked and said with a light laugh.
"Secret?"
Gazing into those deep eyes, Xu Qingyi’s heart raced a little faster, she snorted coldly, "Then I’ll trust you this once, but don’t you dare deceive ..."
Bong—
Just then, a steady and long bell sound ca from outside.
"The morning bell has rung, I need to quickly go pay respects to the Empress."
Xu Qingyi ca back to her senses, her expression serious, and climbed off the bed.
At this mont, she had her back to Chen Mo, the taut dress outlining a rounded curve, with a faint trace of a tied string at her waist...
"By the way, is wearing this really comfortable?"
Chen Mo couldn’t help but use a finger to hook the strap.
?
Xu Qingyi’s body stiffened, stamring, "W-what are you doing? Let go quickly?"
"Oh."
Chen Mo obediently let go.
Snap—
The strap rebounded, creating a wave of ripples.
"Mm!!"
Xu Qingyi’s body trembled violently, letting out a low moan, almost collapsing onto the bed.
Watching the scene before him, Chen Mo’s throat moved involuntarily.
Such a strong reaction?
It seems Director Xu has quite the surprising contrast...
...
...
Half a Stick of Incense later.
Two figures walked out of the Palace Chambers.
Xu Qingyi’s gait was sowhat unnatural, with a lingering blush on her cheeks, and she glared at Chen Mo in embarrassnt.
"You did that on purpose, you jerk!"
She still felt a burning sensation, and walking made her legs feel weak.
Chen Mo nodded, "That’s right."
Xu Qingyi: "..."
She found herself utterly helpless against this shaless fellow.
As they left the armpit courtyard and passed by Cangzhen Gate, a crisp voice suddenly rang out:
"Chen Mo!"
The two turned towards the sound, seeing a small boy bouncing over towards them.
"Your Highness, slow down."
Fan Sigui and a group of attendants jogged after him.
The Crown Prince arrived in front of them, dressed in an Imperial Robe with black on the top and red on the bottom, embroidered with a four-clawed dragon pattern, a jade belt around his waist, and a Nine-tassel Crown on his head, giving him a more solemn and noble air than before.
"Greetings to the Crown Prince."
Chen Mo and Xu Qingyi bowed in salute.
"No need for formalities."
The Crown Prince waved a hand, curiously asking, "Chen Mo, did you play with the leather ball last night?"
"..."
Xu Qingyi lowered her head again, wishing for a crack in the ground to disappear into.
Chen Mo looked slightly embarrassed, and whispered, "Your Highness, discussing this topic in public might not be very appropriate..."
"So you did play?" The Crown Prince turned to Fan Sigui, hands on his hips, puffed up, "Look at Director Xu, but then look at you, refusing to let play at all, you’re such a miser!"
"..."
Fan Sigui’s eyelids twitched, looking at Chen Mo with a sowhat unfriendly gaze.
But she held back from getting angry, bent down, and gently said, "Your Highness, we need to hurry, if we’re late, Master Lv will be displeased."
The Crown Prince was clearly afraid of the na "Master Lv," his expression turned cautious, he drew back his neck, nodding, "Alright."
At this mont, he thought of sothing, looked up at Chen Mo expectedly, "Chen Mo, why don’t you co with ?"
Chen Mo asked curiously, "Where to?"
The Crown Prince said, "To attend court."
Chen Mo: ?
Fan Sigui frowned slightly and spoke up, "Your Highness, this is not according to protocol..."
"I’m not asking him to enter the hall, just accompany for a bit, isn’t that even allowed?" The Crown Prince pouted, looking pitiful.
Fan Sigui hesitated for a mont, then said helplessly, "Okay, but only up to Fengtian Gate at most."
"Great!"
The Crown Prince’s face broke into a wide smile as he cheerfully walked towards the outer court.
Chen Mo and Fan Sigui walked side by side, followed by a grand procession of nearly a hundred people, with flags fluttering, wheels rolling, along with the guards in golden armor, and several officials and attendants from the Chamberlain’s Mansion.
"Your Highness, there’s still so distance to the Golden Throne Hall, are you sure you don’t want to take the sedan?" Fan Sigui asked.
"No way, it’s not often I get to co out, I want to walk around properly." The Crown Prince said with curiosity, gazing around. Although he’d been born in the palace, he rarely got a chance to leave Huaiqing Palace, let alone head to the outer court.
