The Prime Minister's Darling novel Chapter 1535

Chapter 1535: 746 Net Empty Life (First Update)

Gu Jiao and Xiao Hen had stayed on the second floor of the Book Pavilion until the disciples came to close it but didn’t see Master Mu come down.

Xiao Hen said, "They might be busy late into the night. Let’s go first and ask Ya He later."

Gu Jiao agreed, saying, "Okay."

The two left the Book Pavilion and returned to Qilin Palace.

Little Jingkong had just woken up and was sitting cross-legged on the bed, staring blankly.

He had slept so long that he was befuddled by sleep.

However, the moment Gu Jiao crossed the threshold, he instantly perked up, hopped off the bed, squeezed into his shoes and ran over, calling out in a particularly soft voice, "Jiaojiao!"

He couldn’t let others hear.

Gu Jiao patted his little head, "Did you sleep well this afternoon?"

"Mhm!" he nodded.

Kids are full of energy. Even after a day and night of frightening ordeals, a whole day’s sleep was usually enough for them to recover.

"Eh? Where’s Xiaoxue?" he asked.

Gu Jiao answered, "She’s with her uncle."

She had seen Zhang Dequan carry the sleeping Little Princess up to the third floor while she was in the Book Pavilion. By now, she should be sleeping by the King’s side.

The Little Princess didn’t have the same energy as Jingkong; Gu Jiao guessed she could sleep until the next morning.

"Are you hungry?" Gu Jiao asked.

"Hungry," Jingkong said.

Xiao Hen walked in and glanced at the little guy, saying, "What would you like to eat? I’ll have the kitchen prepare it."

Jingkong instantly frowned.

If you hadn’t spoken, Jiaojiao would have made something for me to eat!

Xiao Hen, seeing him puff up like an angry little pufferfish, curved his lips and said, "Oh, by the way, Jiaojiao, you should check Jingkong’s teeth."

"What happened? Do you have a toothache?"

Jingkong quickly covered his mouth, muffledly insisting, "It doesn’t hurt!"

"How come it doesn’t hurt? Weren’t you the one who complained about a toothache a few days ago?"

"I, I, I, when did I?" His childish hands were clasped behind him as he looked upwards to the sky.

Jingkong indeed claimed he had a toothache two years ago, but that was to avoid writing the extra homework his brother-in-law had assigned.

Gu Jiao remembered that Jingkong was five and a half years old now and likely at the age of losing milk teeth, so it was time for a dental check-up.

"Let me have a look," Gu Jiao said.
