2385 I’m Not Snatching Your Wife!
“Mom, stop feeding her until she bursts!” Duan Yue cried helplessly. He could only watch as his mom carried the little one away.
Why did his mother keep snatching the little fellow from him!?
The elderly nanny who attended to Noble Consort Duan, Nanny Lin, chuckled while covering her mouth. “Your Highness, did you see His Highness’s gaze just now?”
It was so melancholic.
Noble Consort Duan also nodded with a smile. “I saw, I saw!”
“This child is so stingy. It’s not like mom is snatching his wife away from him.” Noble Consort Duan grumbled as she carried the little ermine back to her seat. She happily fed the little fellow.
“Your Highness, this is the Qinghua wine His Majesty has bestowed.” A maidservant walked over to Noble Consort Duan with a smile and bent over to fill Noble Consort Duan’s wine cup.
Noble Consort Duan took a whiff of the wine as it poured into her cup. She exclaimed happily, “Mhm, the wine’s fragrance truly is intoxicating. It’s obvious that it is good wine even before tasting.”
“That is so. Qingzhou Kingdom delivered this wine as tribute. There are only around a dozen jugs every year. Not everyone can have a taste.” The maidservant explained smilingly.
The instant the maidservant poured the wine, Qiao Mu’s small nose also twitched.
At this time, Noble Consort Duan had drawn away her sleeve and picked up the wine cup, lifting it to her lips.
The little fellow cut to the chase and pounced over. She kicked away this cup of wine from Noble Consort Duan’s hand in one swift motion!
*Clang!* The cup shattered on the ground. It did not make a very prominent sound, yet it couldn’t be helped that everyone had their eyes on Noble Consort Duan after His Majesty had bestowed her with the wine. When they saw this scene, all of them became petrified on the spot like dumb wooden chickens.
Noble Consort Duan also froze with her empty hands still up in the air, yet the cup had already shattered on the floor.
“Tsk.” Someone broke out in ill-intentioned laughter on the spot.
After catching her breath, a tall and voluptuous woman who had dressed gorgeously stood up quickly. She curtsied toward the emperor and the empress in the seats of honor. “S-Sorry, Your Imperial Majesties. This concubine has been discourteous, but it was truly too funny just now! Noble Consort Duan’s ermine is truly very interesting!”
Noble Consort Duan stood up nonchalantly and also curtsied toward the emperor and empress. “This noble consort’s ermine is still young and lacks manners. This noble consort will educate it properly in the future.”
Everybody’s expressions distorted.
The consort who had jumped up to mock Noble Consort Duan had freezed up awkwardly. Veins were popping on her forehead.
What was this Noble Consort Duan implying?
She had just said that she had been discourteous, and then Noble Consort Duan also acknowledged that her little ermine lacked manners. Didn’t this mean that she was just like that little brute and failed to be proper!
The empress remarked, “Noble Consort Duan, this empress is not scolding you. However, the Qingzhou Kingdom only sent twelve jugs of Qinghua wine this time as tribute. It truly dampens the mood for your ermine to spill a cup.”
“Her Imperial Majesty is correct.” That beautiful woman from before couldn’t resist chiming in, “This ermine can only pay with its life after kicking over the tribute wine His Majesty bestowed to Noble Consort Duan!”
The empress remained silent. The Ultramarine Province Emperor furrowed his brows and was about to say something when Duan Yue scoffed on the side. “Are you all blind. Look at what that is!”
Everybody followed his finger to see what he was pointing at.
