Chapter 4242: Imperial Rewards

Qiao Mu put the Spiritual Root Refining Pills into a bag and handed it to Mo Lian. "Give these to the Purple Forest Guard children who are less talented."

"They should be helpful for them."

These Spiritual Root Refining Pills could help them improve their inherent talent.

The difference in innate spiritual roots could lead to vast disparities in cultivation.

Those with ordinary spiritual roots, even if they diligently cultivated for hundreds of years, might still not surpass those with superior talent.

Though deeply frustrating, there was simply no way around it.

However, these Spiritual Root Refining Pills could now help cultivators with ordinary aptitudes enhance their talent.

At least on their future path of cultivation, it could make things a little easier, a bit simpler.

Mo Lian nodded with a smile, accepting the bag of Spiritual Root Refining Pills. "I'll have Aoye handle it tomorrow."

He held the little one, softly saying, "Those lads will surely be overjoyed."

The next morning, as the two were still sleepily getting up and washed, Chief Eunuch Chen scurried in with a delighted expression, twirling his fingers, "Crown Prince, Crown Princess, His Majesty's rewards have arrived!"

The little poker-face was holding a spoon, eating porridge. Hearing this, she looked up, asking with some confusion, "What rewards?"

Mo Lian reached out and placed a dish of shredded meat in front of his wife, his face serious. "His Majesty is sending us, husband and wife, as envoys to Forgetfulness Sea. Naturally, there must be rewards."

No kidding, if there were no rewards, who'd want to go? Such a grueling task, having to travel across the sea and spend days on a deserted island—not everyone can endure such hardship!

Qiao Mu's eyes lit up. She dropped her spoon and pulled Mo Lian up. "Let's go, let's see."

Mo Lian chuckled, tugging her small hand, and then picked up her small bowl of rice. "Have someone move a table outside. You can enjoy the rewards while you eat."

Good idea! Maybe if I'm happy, I can eat two more bowls of porridge.

Her Royal Highness Qiao's eyes seemed to sparkle. Crown Prince Mo watched from the side, feeling immense joy.

He knew his wife was happiest when counting treasures.

Old man did well today. He sent gifts first thing in the morning, which also helped Qiaoqiao eat more...

Thus, everyone saw their master early in the morning having the dining table moved outside into the courtyard, accompanying his little wife for a very sumptuous breakfast in the garden.

Everyone in the Eastern Palace knew that the Emperor had sent people to deliver rewards.

The rewards flowed into the Eastern Palace like water; just the reading of the gift list took more than an hour.

The little Crown Princess finished her breakfast, nibbled on some fruit, and then had some pastries after the fruit.

Finally, after the gift list was read, she secretly gasped, her eyes gleaming as she looked at her husband, nodding repeatedly. "Your father is quite grand."

"Of course. Mother opened Father's private vault and dug out a lot of good stuff for us."

Crown Prince Mo chuckled, rubbing against his wife. "Qiaoqiao, all these are for you. Happy?"

Qiao Mu nodded vigorously.

"Don't worry, there's definitely a lot of stuff in Forgetfulness Sea too. Your husband will secretly raid it for you then..." Crown Prince Mo whispered some alluring words into his little wife's ear.

Her Royal Highness Qiao's face grew even more spirited.

Her initial strong resistance to going to Forgetfulness Sea had now mysteriously diminished by half.

Qiaoqiao's Lotus was right.

Since they had hidden motives and ill intentions, Her Royal Highness Qiao and her husband would go and plunder their old den.

Forgetfulness Sea was vast, and its resources were surely abundant.
