The Prime Minister's Darling novel Chapter 652

Chapter 652: 310 The Truth Comes Out (Second update of the day)_4

"No need, I will go myself." Gu Jiao paused, "May I?"

Eunuch Qin smiled, "Of course."

Eunuch Qin handed a jar to Gu Jiao, "There are beekeepers over there. If Miss Gu is tired from collecting, you can hand it over to them."

"Alright." Gu Jiao took the jar.

Worried that she might get lost, Eunuch Qin specifically asked a eunuch from Renshou Palace to escort her.

Gu Jiao decided to camp out here, like a patient hunter waiting for rabbits.

After waiting for the whole morning, no one came by except for the gardener and the beekeeper.

Just as Gu Jiao was about to leave, several female silhouettes suddenly appeared at the end of the small path.

The one leading was the Consort of Prince Ning.

Accompanying the Consort of Prince Ning were two eunuchs carrying flower baskets and four palace maids following behind.

The Consort of Prince Ning, who had just miscarried recently, had a slightly swollen face. Despite the hot weather of June, she still draped a cloak over herself.

The Consort of Prince Rui had mentioned this was the third miscarriage of the Consort of Prince Ning.

Every miscarriage was a huge blow to a woman, not to mention she had experienced it three times now. Given the undeveloped medical condition of the olden times, it might be really hard for her to conceive again.

She stayed outside the palace, in the Prince Ning’s mansion, it was unknown why she had come to such a remote southwest corner.

Could it be... was she the person Gu Jiao was waiting for?

Although Gu Jiao was in a small wooden house, her eyes were focused on the Consort of Prince Ning through the window, without blinking.

"Your Highness, you could entrust such tasks to us, why bother coming in person?" A palace maid asked.

The Consort of Prince Ning said, "You all don’t understand, wasting good honey like that. Call the beekeeper over."

"Yes, ma’am!"

The palace maid accepted the request, went into the Bee Garden, and called the beekeeper on duty.

The beekeeper respectfully bowed to the Consort of Prince Ning, "This servant greets the Consort of Prince Ning."

Consort of Prince Ning asked, "What honey have we collected today?"

The beekeeper replied, "In response to the Consort of Prince Ning, we have date flower honey and acacia honey, and half a jar of mixed flower honey."

"Bring it to me to taste." The Consort of Prince Ning said.

"Yes, ma’am!" The beekeeper poured a small cup of each kind of honey.

After tasting each type with her spoon, the Consort of Prince Ning said, "We’ll go with the date flower honey."

"How many jars would the Consort of Prince Ning like?" the beekeeper asked respectfully.
