My Crown Prince Consort Is a Firecracker! - Chapter 2749

“What is the role of the Divine Province’s Council of Elders? It is to ensure the safety and well-being of the common people residing within the Divine Province.”

“Additionally, it is our duty to safeguard the security of His Majesty and the Crown Prince.”

“However, we should refrain from involving ourselves in matters that do not pertain to us. Let us avoid unnecessary meddling!” Senior Elder Kongyin reprimanded sternly, his gray monk’s sleeves swaying as he gestured. “Enough now! Attend to your tasks and dedicate yourselves to closed-door cultivation.”

Senior Elder Kongyin had administered a stern rebuke to Fourth Elder, Sixth Elder, and the rest.

In that moment, memories of Senior Elder’s past bouts of anger resurfaced, reminding them of his temperamental nature.

/Perhaps his temper has been tempered by his monastic life?/
Second Elder and Third Elder exchanged perplexed glances upon seeing their Senior Elder’s newly bald head…

Meanwhile, Qiao Mu continued to fixate on the back of his shorn scalp.

Turning around, Senior Elder Kongyin met the little one’s gaze with a chuckle. He spoke with a conciliatory tone, “Qiaoqiao, fear not. I stand firmly in your corner.”

“The Council of Elders unanimously supports your union with His Highness the Crown Prince. Our collective consent is unwavering!”

With these words, he cast a stern glance toward Fourth Elder and the others.

Promptly, Fourth Elder, Sixth Elder, and their companions nodded fervently, akin to garlic being crushed. “Absolutely.”

/Was this a jest? Had Senior Elder not delivered enough slaps already?/

/Declining was out of the question; who could assure that another slap wouldn’t follow instantly from Big Bro?/

The situation was beyond exasperating.

Qiao Mu eyed Kongyin with suspicion. “Tell me the truth, does Kongkong have a hidden identity?”

/Otherwise, what kind of peculiar habit made this Senior Elder linger by his side?/

“I swear I don’t!” Senior Elder Kongyin vigorously shook his head and assured, “Are you feeling lonely without Kongkong? No worries, I’ll arrange for a team to retrieve Viscount Kongkong shortly. How does that sound?”

“Not very appealing,” Mo Lian retorted, rolling his eyes, and took hold of Qiao Mu’s petite hand.

Meanwhile, a hushed chorus of voices drifted from below.

“I’ve always heard rumors that Senior Elder Kongyin had an enduring friendship with Long Chuyun of the Long Clan. It seems those rumors are true.”

“It explains why she’s treating Long Chuyun’s daughter so favorably.”

“Exactly.”

“The young crown prince consort is truly fortunate.”

“With the unwavering backing of the Divine Province’s Chief Senior Elder from the Council of Elders, who in the Divine Province would dare to question her status as the Crown Prince Consort?”

Chen Baojia’s fingers clenched, her complexion pale, an urge to scream building within her.

But her frustration remained internal.

Much like Chen Baojia, Zhongli Zhiwei concealed her tightly balled fists within her sleeves, struggling to contain her stifled anger that felt suffocating.

Consort Zhongli looked at her daughter with deep concern and heartache. She yearned to speak but found herself choked by her words.

At this juncture, words held little power.

Everyone present understood the significance of the Chief Senior Elder’s backing, a gesture akin to a seal of approval.

In the times ahead, there truly existed no one within the Divine Province capable of undermining the secure position of the young crown prince consort.

The situation had taken a bewildering twist, leaving the Emperor himself nearly puzzled by the unfolding events.

/Yet, as the developments were heading in a positive direction, it seemed fitting to accept it!/

Mo Liusheng remarked with casual indifference, “Given the absence of objections, the Ministry of Rites will oversee the wedding ceremony, which should transpire within the next three months.”

“I acknowledge the imperial decree.” The Minister of Rites promptly rose from his seat, diplomatically concurring.

A subtle exchange of glances passed between the newly affianced pair.

Crown Prince Mo bestowed a smile upon her.
