My Crown Prince Consort Is a Firecracker - Chapter 2373

Chapter 2373 Seeing Ghosts!

When all the food was served, the little fellow hopped onto the table.

Xiao’ke’zi was stupefied and wanted to shoo her away, but Duan Yue stopped him.

“Alright, you can go out.”

“Ah, Your Highness. This little beast…”

!!
“It’s fine.”

Xiao’ke’zi looked at Qiao Mu weirdly.

That ermine was squatting in front of the spareribs. She was looking at her small paws in befuddlement.

It was like she was trying to decide whether to eat with her mouth or while using her paws.

This truly was an odd little ermine!

Xiao’ke’zi mused.

How could it eat with His Highness at the same table?

It would be so dirty, yet His Highness did not find it distasteful at all.

Xiao’ke’zi criticized in his mind as he shuffled outside. Just as he left, he glimpsed the little ermine resolutely reach out to the basin with her paws.

“Awooh.”

Duan Yue had just picked up his chopsticks. He looked speechlessly at the little fellow who was calling for him.

For some reason, he had the misconception that the little fellow was used to ordering him about.

“Awooh!!”

Duan Yue twitched his mouth. He set down his chopsticks and stood to pick her up, carrying her over to a basin at the edge of the yurt. “Where did you learn to be so fussy?”

A little animal actually knew to wash her paws before eating!

“Awooh!” The little fellow barked at him again, looking in distaste at the water already in the basin.

Such a dirty basin of water. Disgusting.

Duan Yue: …

What was the situation? He felt like this little one was acting like a lord in front of him!

Who exactly was royalty here?

“Xiao’ke’zi!”

Xiao’ke’zi was waiting outside the yurt, so he rushed inside at the speed of light when he heard his name.

“Your Highness, is that ermine bothering you from eating? Did you want this humble one to throw it out!”

“Awooh!” Qiao Mu glared at that fellow rushing inside to slander her.

Xiao’ke’zi looked like he had seen a ghost.

He really had seen a ghost. This little ermine was so practiced in glaring at people.

“Toss out the water in the basin,” Duan Yue ordered helplessly.

“Eh, the water in the basin was just changed.”

“Toss it out.”

Xiao’ke’zi hastily carried the water basin outside and tossed it out. Afterwards, he carried it back and queerly watched His Highness fill up the basin with water again.

Xiao’ke’zi inexplicably twitched his mouth.

Sure enough, he saw His Highness place that little animal inside the basin the next instant.

“Awooh!” Lady Qiaoqiao’s round black beady eyes turned round and stared straight at Duan Yue.

Duan Yue mumbled speechlessly, “I really am seeing a ghost.”

How come this prideful expression looked similar to his Qiaoqiao’s?

This was why he thought the little fellow was interesting at first glance…

“Your whole body won’t get wet.” Duan Yue explained for some baffling reason. “Fine, fine, fine. We’ll only wash your paws, only your paws!”

Xiao’ke’zi was at a complete loss for words.

What kind of ermine was this exactly?

It required changing water before washing its paws, and washing its paws before eating food!

Was this a person or an ermine!?

These days, even a small animal was more particular about this than he was!

After helping little Qiaoqiao wash her small paws clean, he wiped away the excess water with a clean handkerchief. Only then did he set the little one on the table again.

*Tap, tap, tap.* The little fellow trotted back over to the spareribs. She picked one that seemed easier to hold with her paws and started nibbling on it.

She even rolled her eyes at Duan Yue when she saw him grinning at her.
