Chapter 878: Chapter 697: Hands Off? Next Time There’s a Fee!
Doghole? Doghole!
Everyone’s lips twitched violently!
But with the principle of not missing a good show, everyone still chose to follow along!
After all, their Little Highness provided such good conditions, even preparing a peephole for spying. If they didn’t take a look, they’d feel way too sorry for themselves!
So, with Maomao leading the way, a string of curiosity-bubbling people followed behind. Even Yue Xilou, who was avoiding Borjigin Nian’s entanglement, was drawn by these shady figures towards the rear palace. Naturally, Borjigin Nian, who followed Yue Xilou, joined the group without hesitation.
The group watching the show became more and more spectacular. The doghole was ready, only spring scenery was missing!
"Little Highness, won’t we get caught doing this?" Even though Hongyan Jiaojiao was curious about her own emperor’s embarrassing matters, she struggled to maintain a bit of reason. She thought, her own emperor was somewhat better, generally living in his own world, not caring much about external matters, and rarely releasing Inner Strength to explore the surroundings. But the Imperial Husband was different, obviously a serious and cautious person!
Their whole group of onlookers, hoping to be ignored by the two masters inside, seemed genuinely difficult!
Hongyan Jiaojiao’s question was very practical and immediately drew everyone’s attention. They all turned their eyes towards the little ringleader of the show, Mr. Maomao!
"Do you understand the concept of sticking your fingers in your ears?" Maomao snorted, looking mischievous, and opened his mouth with confidence, "My mom says, if you can cover your ears well, you might just manage to steal a bell. But I’m not stealing a bell, I just want a sister! A sister!"
He had already found out that when Mom and Uncle Wood played kissy-face often, he’d get a sister!
As a future good brother, Maomao felt it necessary to witness his sister’s birth! So, he needed to pay special attention to his mom and Uncle Wood’s kissing process, so he could tell his sister in the future!
Paw fist! Good brother Maomao was full of fighting spirit!
Upon hearing this, three black lines immediately slid across everyone’s foreheads, as a row of crows flew over their heads.
Is this okay too?
It turned out, it really was okay!
Because their Little Highness had a really authentic skill in digging dogholes. The one dug into the Bed Chamber of the traveling palace offered an exceptionally wide view, directly facing the center of the bedchamber, with a standing cabinet outside as disguise. However, the cabinet’s door was made of transparent glass...
This! This really hit the spot!
Everyone showed endless admiration for this doghole, of course, collectively choosing to ignore the improper behavior of the little kid’s idle wall-boring!
"Sister! Sister! My sister!" Maomao lay outside the doghole, poking his little head inside, pulling at his little paws and muttering earnestly. He really didn’t want to be the smallest in the family anymore, so he wanted someone even smaller!
"Shh!" Little Han Mo with the Black Face, since returning, had entered a conjoined twin mode with Maomao. Seeing Maomao like this, he quickly signaled him to be silent.
Maomao was very obedient and immediately fell silent, blinking his round, bulging eyes, watching the show eagerly. Behind him, countless pairs of eyes were also peeking inside through the doghole. Although they watched rather discreetly, there was no hiding each of their Eight Trigrams hearts!
Inside the bedchamber, all the decorative items which were part of Great Zhou’s Weixing Palace had long been cleared by Hongyan Jiaojiao and others, replaced with articles they brought from the Southern Country. Looking around, how exquisite it was!
Soft gauze draped from the top of the palace like falling silken rivers of the sky, the Palace Tassels swaying gently without wind, radiating a shimmering glow. Several large Luminous Pearls were placed in various spots in the bedchamber, covered with yellow gauze, exuding a diffuse light, dazzling but not blinding, imbued with the Crystal Palace’s beauty in its vagueness, making one feel like they were in Fairyland.
This was the setup of the Southern Emperor’s bedchamber in the Great Swamp Mountain Heavenly Palace. Even though they were now in the Great Zhou’s traveling palace, old subjects like Hongyan Jiaojiao found it difficult and didn’t demand much, only managing to arrange it like this. In their eyes, it seemed a bit shabby!
"I heard my love had everything in the traveling palace tossed out onto the street. I originally didn’t believe it." Zhou Mu glanced at the bedchamber setup, chuckling softly.
"Hehe..." Trapped in the embrace of a certain evildoer, a certain Changsheng couldn’t escape and smiled awkwardly.
This wasn’t her fault! How could she have known her idling old subjects were so nitpicky? See how they’ve practically moved her Heavenly Palace Bedroom here, right?
She originally thought bringing a moving palace with the Imperial Carriage was exaggerated enough, but clearly, she underestimated her subjects’ moving capacity. They were simply a group of porters, like ants!
She felt embarrassed to have brought it all the way to Great Zhou! It made her feel so disconnected from the people when she was actually very down-to-earth! Such a display wasn’t the result she wanted!
Of course, being captured by a certain uninvited evildoer and sent onto the bed wasn’t the result she wanted either!
"Evildoer! Evildoer! How about we talk about life?" Gu Changsheng nervously grabbed Zhou Mu’s sleeve. She felt she had to say something because that big bed was so conspicuous, she’d get thrown onto it any minute!
Zhou Mu raised an eyebrow at her words, a helpless yet indulgent smile flashing across his face like a Divine Residence, "But, I would much rather talk about strangers with you?"
Good grief!
The lesson disciple pits the master — this was something she shouldn’t have said in front of others. Look, it reached the evildoer’s ears and got her cornered!
Gu Changsheng felt blood gush within her heart, her face turning into a little lobster!
The Luminous Pearls under the gauze exuded a hazy halo. Why did she feel the temperature in the bedchamber was so high? It was a little scorching!
And then that bed, that large Dragon and Phoenix Grand Bed capable of housing several people rolling around, why was it so dazzling? It made her heart unsettled, oh so unsettled!
"My love, why is your face so red? Are you sick?"
The chiseled face moved closer, breaths mingling. Gu Changsheng was startled by the question from above, then quickly nodded, "Yes, yes, I’m sick!"
Damn, and it’s a serious illness!
Looks like I’m about to get burned alive here!
Damn it! How am I courting disaster? Clearly, this fire came to me on its own, okay?
Gu Changsheng couldn’t help but glare fiercely at the culprit!
"Hehe..." A muffled laugh came from above.
In a blink, Gu Changsheng was spinning in circles, and when she came to her senses, she was already placed on the Dragon and Phoenix Grand Bed.
A long, strong hand pulled the brocade quilt from the bed and covered her with it. Then, Gu Changsheng felt the spot next to her sink, prompting her instinctively to roll away!
Damn it! The evildoer has come to bed!
Run!
"Don’t move!"
A man’s deep voice came, a long arm scooped up and retrieved the escaping young woman, trapping her in his embrace!
The brocade quilt quickly covered both of them, shielding them from outside prying eyes.
The faint scent of ambergris constantly reminded Gu Changsheng that there was a man beside her, with scorching body heat and a steady yet urgent heartbeat in her ears, coupled with the hot breath grazing her hair tips. The close embrace was hard to ignore!
However, the person beside her made no other moves, just held her quietly, making her momentarily doubt if she was overthinking the situation?
Could it be that Zhou Mu, this evildoer, is actually a gentleman, and she’s the one with the petty suspicions?
"Sleep," came the suppressed and unwilling voice from above.
"Huh?" Was she really overthinking this? Gu Changsheng looked up, disbelief in her eyes as she gazed at the handsome face merely inches away.
Zhou Mu looked at the restless little woman in his arms, sighed, then kissed the top of her head, speaking in a low, helpless voice, "My love, Xiao Gu Ze’s habit of digging holes needs to be fixed!"
Little bun? Digging holes?
Upon hearing this, Gu Changsheng’s brow furrowed slightly, and then a wisp of Internal Breath subtly spread throughout the bed chamber. Moments later, she zipped into the quilt and refused to come out!
Damn it!
She didn’t even notice!
There are lots of people’s scents on the walls! Damn, this is utterly humiliating!
Little bun! Xiao Gu Ze! Gu Yaoyao! Ever since he tunneled out his Old Handsome Grandpa at the Great Swamp Mountain, his hole-digging skill has become second nature. He even dared to dig a hole in her bed chamber and bring people to watch!
Holy smokes! She’s going mad!
Tomorrow! Tomorrow she must have a good talk with her precious son about the difference between humans and mice; digging holes is absolutely unacceptable!
"Tomorrow, I must discuss with Xiao Gu Ze about the necessity of not looking when you shouldn’t!"
Clearly, Zhou Mu and Gu Changsheng shared the same thoughts, but what’s with the gritted teeth and unwillingness in his voice?
Gu Changsheng rolled her eyes at Zhou Mu. She thought again; maybe she was overthinking. An evildoer who’s adept at stealing kisses is nothing like a gentleman. If it weren’t for little bun’s excellent hole-digging, she might have been pinned down by now. Although little bun saved her a bit by digging a hole, some person’s hand under the quilt was rather restless, stirring up trouble.
"Your hand!" Gu Changsheng grumbled through gritted teeth. Where are you touching? Where? Do you think this is a bun or something?
Gu Changsheng really wanted to shout at the evildoer, "Touching will cost you!", but unfortunately, she lacked the courage because there were still spies on the wall hole!
"What’s wrong with my hand?" The man innocently asked, "Sleep, as always, I await the grand wedding."
Damn, you’re actually an actor, aren’t you? Your words are sweeter than a song. Awaiting the grand wedding, yet why are you crawling into my bed before marriage? Collecting pre-wedding benefits, huh?
Stop touching! Stop touching! You’ve got me all goosebumps!
If she wasn’t careful, damn it, she might turn into a caterpillar!
"Changsheng, don’t move, or people will see and it’s not good!" Under the quilt, wriggling, the man kindly reminded the young woman avoiding the devil’s hand...
