My Crown Prince Consort Is a Firecracker! - Chapter 1473

Chapter 1473: Caught Red-Handed

Qiao Mu trotted up to a slim bamboo around a meter tall and flicked it with her finger: This bamboo is short and skinny with no appreciative value. There was completely no way to compare it with the bamboo grove the Holy Water Sect’s Old Sect Master had nurtured back then.

“Masta, these really are spiritual bamboo shoots!” Qiuqiu suddenly piped up.

Afterwards, two slim vines shot out from her sleeve without any prompt from her. They directly unearthed a stubby bamboo shoot before quickly pulling it into the paradise.

“Hehe!” Qiuqiu exclaimed happily, “You’re in luck, Master! Walk further inside so we can dig up more spiritual bamboo shoots to bring back with us.”

“At that time, we can also plant a bamboo grove on Paradise Planet. How about that.” The more Little Qiuqiu talked, the more worked up it got. “In the future, our Paradise Planet will have flowers, bamboo, and trees. Hahaha, don’t you think that it’s perfect?”

“Mhm.” Qiao Mu nodded, and then she questioned, “Flowers?”

“The jasper begonia!” Qiuqiu declared proudly, “Masta, I helped you grow a large patch of jasper begonia. Do you like it? You can come in and play when you have nothing to do!”

Qiao Mu couldn’t help finding it funny.

She hadn’t expected this little fellow to also smuggle the jasper begonia from her inner world into the paradise.

“Don’t get rid of the original pot of flowers. I have to return it to Grandmother afterwards,” Qiao Mu instructed.

“Don’t worry. There was originally a Sumeru seed inside that jasper begonia that was wreaking havoc. Masta, I extracted the Sumeru seed and planted it in the Hundred Poisons Valley.”

“Ah, is that so.” Qiao Mu couldn’t help but find it surprising.

This Sumeru seed was the seed of a poisonous plant. How did it drop inside the jasper begonia, nearly killing it? It truly was quite strange.

As Qiao Mu talked to Qiuqiu, they walked further along the stream, allowing for Qiuqiu to give free rein to its bandit nature. It dug out all the spiritual bamboo shoots that could be gathered and dragged them into the paradise.

“Masta, Masta. With Little Earth and Little Water’s help now, it will probably take some time for the spiritual tea to grow. But these spiritual bamboo shoots don’t need to be too pampered. I reckon that we will be able to feast on them soon after growing them in our paradise for several days.”

“I saw that you dug out quite a lot of spiritual bamboo shoots. Why would this Manager Hu say that there aren’t any spiritual bamboo shoots? Is he not an honest guy?”

“That is obviously the case!” Qiuqiu smirked, “From how this guy is telling lies and half-truths, he is most likely concealing selfish motives.”

Now that Qiao Mu was aware of the situation, she deliberately kicked away the dirt on the bank of the stream and allowed the only spiritual bamboo shoot that Qiuqiu did not dig up to show its tip.

This small bamboo shoot was truly too tiny and also ugly, so Qiuqiu did not fancy it.

Fourth Princess Mo Shuang had sharp eyes and noticed it at once. She could not help but shout, “Isn’t there a spiritual bamboo shoot here? Manager Hu, how come you said that you haven’t dug up spiritual bamboo shoots this year? You couldn’t be hiding something from Her Majesty the Queen, right.”

“Aiyo, heaven and earth can attest to my conscience. How would this humble one dare to deceive esteemed guests?” Manager Hu explained with a poker face, “Look at how ugly this tiny bamboo shoot is. What about it looks like a spiritual bamboo shoot. Moreover, if everyone does not believe it, I can immediately order servants to go cook this bamboo shoot for everyone to taste. This absolutely is the most common type of bamboo shoot, and not a spiritual bamboo shoot.”

“Haitang, where’s the pot!”

“The pot is here!” Haitang took out a small black pot from her inner world and held it in her arms. She then asked the crown prince consort earnestly, “Crown Prince Consort, do you want to cook it now?”

The young crown prince consort nodded emphatically. “Cook it for a taste!”

“Yes! Crown Prince Consort!”
