I Became the Devil Queen's Heart Demon novel Chapter 534

Chapter 534: Chapter 208: Empress Baby: I Am So Awesome! The Empress Steps on Me! _3

However, as they passed through the Cangzhen Gate on the East Inner Court Road, a sudden gust of strong wind blew by.

Chen Mo instinctively dodged to the side, only to see a red ball fly past and land in a nearby pond.

Soon after, a little boy about four feet tall ran out from the gate, with rosy lips and white teeth, a face sculpted like fine jade, wearing a bright yellow robe with cloud patterns, black leather boots, and a golden longevity lock with a Bright Jade around his neck.

"My ball, my ball..."

The little boy lay down by the pond’s edge, reaching out to try to get it.

But his arms weren’t long enough, and after waving for a while, he could only watch as the ball drifted farther away.

He turned his head to Chen Mo and said in a childish voice, "Hey, tall guy, help me fetch that ball."

Chen Mo had already guessed the little boy’s identity and nodded, "I obey your command."

Then, with a slight movement of his hand, he drew the ball up from the pond, evaporating the moisture with True Yuan.

"Here you go."

"Amazing!"

The little boy’s eyes sparkled, as if seeing such a skill for the first time, and he clapped his hands excitedly.

Then he realized he was a bit undignified, cleared his throat, and said with forced maturity, "Hmm, well done..."

He reached out intending to pat Chen Mo on the shoulder as a form of praise, but the height difference was too great, even on tiptoes he couldn’t reach and frowned, "Bend down a little."

Chen Mo squatted down as instructed.

The little boy patted his shoulder with satisfaction, "Well done, deserves a reward."

Chen Mo asked, "What reward does Your Highness plan to give me?"

"Ah?"

The little boy was momentarily dumbfounded.

Usually, whenever he said such things, the palace attendants would be terrified and thank him while kneeling, saying it was a servant’s duty, no one had ever dared to actually ask for a reward?

So he hadn’t really thought of giving Chen Mo anything...

But since he already said it, it would be disgraceful to go back on his word...

The little boy fumbled around in his bosom for a while and took out a Jade Pendant, smooth and delicate, engraved with the character "Yan."

"Here, I’ll give you this." He handed the Jade Pendant to Chen Mo.

"..."

Chen Mo’s eyebrow twitched, this thing... I don’t dare accept it!

"This Jade Pendant is too precious, Your Highness should keep it."

"I said I’d give it to you, so take it. Refusing is disrespecting me!" the little boy puffed his cheeks.

Chen Mo shook his head and said, "Can’t Your Highness give gold or silver treasures instead? Or perhaps reward me with a couple of beauties..."

Thump-thump-thump—

At this moment, a series of hurried footsteps sounded.

Several palace attendants quickly ran out from the Cangzhen Gate, looking around, and one of them saw the little boy and shouted loudly, "The Crown Prince is here!"

A young female officer hurried forward, picked up the little boy, and frowned, "Your Highness, why have you run out on your own again? What if something happens..."

"My legs are on my body, I’ll go where I want, I don’t need you nagging, it’s so annoying..."

The little boy impatiently covered his ears and looked at Chen Mo, "Is she considered a beauty? I’ll reward her to you."

Chen Mo: "..."

The female officer glanced at Chen Mo, "And you are...?"

Chen Mo said, "Personal Merit Guard Yulin Lang General Chen Mo, just off duty, happened to be passing by."

"Oh, it’s Mr. Chen."

The female officer didn’t say much, lightly nodded a greeting, then carried the little boy towards the palace gate.

The little boy looked all despondent but didn’t forget to wave at Chen Mo.

"Wait for me here tomorrow, I’ll keep my word and be sure to reward you!"

Chen Mo raised an eyebrow, "Why are you sending gifts to my mother?"

Xu Qingyi’s fingers clutched her skirt and said, "It’s just that we got along well, nothing else."

Chen Mo stroked his chin and said, "If that’s the case, why don’t you deliver it yourself?"

Xu Qingyi said, "Isn’t it convenient for you to do it, saves me a trip."

"Is that so?"

Chen Mo leaned closer to her, smiling with narrowed eyes, "Director Xu wouldn’t be trying to find the back door, would you?"

"What back door?" Xu Qingyi asked, confused.

Chen Mo said seriously, "The love interests Mr. Chen has can’t be counted on two hands, the Chen Mansion is getting full, if Director Xu wants to get in line, one packet of tea isn’t enough."

?!

Xu Qingyi’s fair face quickly turned red, stammering, "What nonsense are you talking about? Who’s going to live... live at the Chen Mansion?!"

Seeing the surrounding palace attendants casting odd glances, Xu Qingyi glared at him, stomped her foot, and then turned to run away.

"Just a joke, didn’t need such a strong reaction..."

Chen Mo shrugged and walked into the Frozen Sky Palace.

As soon as he stepped into the main hall, a powerful suction force drew him directly to the center of the hall, and a white delicate foot stepped on his face.

Yu Youhan’s cool voice sounded:

"Mr. Chen truly is amorous, even my personal female officer can’t resist, seems the Chen Mansion will be overcrowded in the future?"

"..."

Chen Mo supported the Exquisite Foot, expertly performed a grand flattering, and said seriously, "Empress, no need to worry, I’ll always keep a spot for you in my heart."

Yu Youhan spat, "What nonsense, who wants to cut in line with you?"

Chen Mo nodded, "Then I can cut in with you."

Yu Youhan: ?
