Chapter 4249: Here We Go Again...

"Saintess, be careful on your journey!"

"Saintess, take care of yourself, and remember to come back soon!"

The chattering shouts of the Feng clan echoed in her ears. Although Qiao Mu maintained a poker face, she was internally a little overwhelmed.

She hadn't told Feng Heping about this trip precisely because she didn't want him to cause such a huge commotion.

But now...

Watching the Feng clan members lined up along the river, enthusiastically waving at her.

Her Royal Highness Qiao, with an expressionless face, reluctantly raised a small paw and waved back from a distance.

Crown Prince Mo looked back at his wife, feeling a strange urge to laugh.

Feng Changqing, however, cleared his throat and stepped forward. "Saintess."

"It's quite windy out here. Please come into the cabin."

Qiao Mu lowered her paw, turned, clasped her small hands behind her back, and with a straight spine, walked into the cabin.

Inside the elegantly furnished cabin on the first floor, the siblings Long Hui and Long Xiangyun were already seated.

Upon seeing them enter, Long Xiangyun's expression turned rather sour.

She had truly never encountered anyone so troublesome.

Who brings so many bodyguards when visiting someone else's home?

Only this Crown Princess could be so overly troublesome.

Qiao Mu pulled Crown Prince Mo along, casually found two seats, and asked expressionlessly, "Where is our room?"

"The last room on the left on the second floor is your cabin," Long Hui said, twitching his lips. "Cousin, rest assured, everything has been arranged according to your preferences."

Golden silk satin curtains, fine silk quilts, even a pillow and a comb—all demanded high specifications...

Why don't you just ascend to heaven already?

Her Royal Highness Qiao simply uttered an "Oh" and said no more.

Long Hui secretly rolled his eyes. He genuinely couldn't stand the Crown Princess's way of speaking to people.

If she was happy, she'd say a few more words; if not, she'd ignore you, too lazy to waste words.

What kind of family could raise such an eccentric personality?

"Since there's nothing to do, how about we play madiao (a card game)?" Long Xiangyun suddenly suggested.

"Once we're at sea, it'll take about half a month to travel across the sea region," Long Xiangyun glanced at Qiao Mu. "It's quite boring doing nothing every day. Oh, by the way, Cousin, do you know how to play madiao?"

"I know a little," the little poker-face nodded her small head, looking very obedient.

Mo Lian twitched his lips.

Long Xiangyun smiled and waved her hand. "Knowing a little is fine. As long as you can play, don't worry, my elder brother and I will go easy on you."

Long Hui nodded with a smile. "Cousin, we're all family. Even if you lose, it won't go to outsiders."

Soon, the card table was set up.

Qiao Mu, Long Hui, and Long Xiangyun took their seats.

Crown Prince Mo moved a stool and sat beside his little wife, diligently serving her tea, offering water, and fanning her.

Long Xiangyun's mouth involuntarily twisted at the sight.

"Crown Prince, won't you play a few rounds?"

Mo Lian impatiently glanced at Long Hui. "How could I win money from my wife?"

Constantly showing off affection is truly annoying, isn't it? Long Hui silently closed his mouth, then turned to a sword-wielding guard standing beside him. "Jiang Song, come play a few rounds with us."

The young guard's eyes instantly widened in terror. He shook his head repeatedly. "Young Master, your subordinate has no money."

Long Hui: ...

Long Xiangyun was eager to regain some face and clapped her hands. "Sit down! You don't have to pay if you lose; Big Brother will naturally pay!"

Long Hui: ...
