The Prime Minister's Darling novel Chapter 723

Chapter 723: 336 sets of burlap bags (one update)_2

Perhaps feeling cooler, Gu Jiao’s furrowed brow relaxed.

Yao Family, who was picking vegetables in the front yard, saw this and gently stroked her slightly protruding belly, a soft look crossed her eyes.

Gu Jiao had a long sleep until Xiaoshun returned from the Guozijian.

As soon as the young horn arrived home, he began horn incessantly, making it impossible for Gu Jiao to stay asleep.

Luckily, she had slept enough

Gu Changqing had matters to attend to at the military camp, so he did not stay for dinner.

By evening, smoke curled up from the homes in the alley, and Xiao Liulang returned from his duties at the Hanlin Academy.

He had visited the old imperial counselor and discussed some matters. He arrived home to find Gu Jiao languishing in the east room.

She should have been well-rested after an entire afternoon of sleep.

Yet her long sighs and short gasps perfectly mimicked Xiaoshun mimicking old neighbour Zhao.

Xiao Liulang could not help but curl up the corners of his mouth in amusement.

After dinner, Gu Jiao returned to her room in a slump to continue languishing.

Xiao Liulang knocked on the room door: "It’s me."

Gu Jiao sat up: "Come in."

Xiao Liulang pushed the door open.

Gu Jiao assumed he was again coming to bring her green bean soup, and although she was not hungry, she cooperatively sat down by the table.

However, Xiao Liulang did not hand her a bowl of green bean soup, but just stared at her intently.

Gu Jiao gradually began to notice something was amiss.

She looked up at Xiao Liulang, and asked curiously, "What is it?"

In Xiao Liulang’s unfathomable eyes, bright lights flickered along with a hint of helpless mirth that even he did not recognize: "Don’t you want to try your hand at being a bag?"

"Huh?" Gu Jiao perked up her little ears! Then she blinked, looked towards the window and solemnly said, "I’m not that kind of person."

Xiao Liulang almost believed her, with her knack for pushing everything onto someone else, truly, you’re not that kind of person.

Xiao Liulang held onto his composure and asked, "Then... do you want to visit your aunt in the palace?"

Gu Jiao sat up straight: "This... Of course!"

"Put this on." Xiao Liulang conjured up a set of eunuch’s clothes.
