The Prime Minister's Darling novel Chapter 919

Chapter 919: 421 Scheming Jiaojiao (Two Chapters)_3

Gu Jiao had originally thought that Qin Chuyu, whose nature was completely unleashed, was the norm for royal children, but it wasn’t until she met the Little Princesses that she realized such an individual as him was probably an anomaly.

The two-year-old Little Princesses were already very sensible, they were born to two of the King of Ning’s Concubines, with less than a half year between them.

They were both very close to the King of Ning, clinging to his embrace, refusing to leave.

It was a kind of heartfelt dependence, it was clear to see that in front of them, the King of Ning was a loving father to his daughters.

"Would you like some dessert?" the King of Ning asked his twin daughters gently.

The two Little Princesses nodded in unison.

The King of Ning let them pick for themselves.

One Little Princess took a piece of pea cake, while the other picked a slice of Spicy Dried Meat.

She was so spiced that she stuck out her tongue.

The King of Ning’s eyes were full of mirth.

Gu Jiao rested her chin on one hand, leisurely observing the King of Ning doting on his daughters; when he smiled, it was like the thawing of ice and snow in the winter. He held a high position and power, possessed a good appearance befiting the Imperial Family, and emanated an air of stern integrity.

Gu Jiao couldn’t help but think of Prince An. Prince An was a man also gentle as jade, but compared to the King of Ning, he carried a touch more youthful air, while the King of Ning had the force of a leader and the charm of a mature man.

For such a man, there will be few women who can resist being charmed, right?

Gu Jiao turned her gaze towards the wife of the King of Ning.

The two children were evidently also close to her. They would look for her when they needed a drink or wanted their faces wiped, and after showing affection to the King of Ning, they would go to her.

The wife of the King of Ning fed them water, wiped their hands, just like a biological mother would.

But after all, they were not her own flesh and blood. Could there really be not a hint of discomfort?

Gu Jiao thought about the illness of the wife of the King of Ning.

The most unbearable thing in the world is not that I mind, but that even though I mind, I have to pretend that I don’t. The suffering endured will then be doubled.

The Empress Dowager said to a wet nurse beside her, "Take the Little Princesses to play. Don’t be too strict with the children."

"Yes!" The wet nurses dared not defy the Empress Dowager’s order and took the two Little Princesses to play with the Guozijian’s three unworthy scholars.

Not sure if it was her own misconception, Gu Jiao felt that the wife of the King of Ning seemed to breathe a sigh of relief.

While they were sunbathing in the Imperial Garden, a little incident occurred—the Crown Prince and his wife happened to pass by this way.
