Little Jingkong suddenly conjured up a flower as if by magic, and, like a proper little gentleman, presented it to Princess Xinyang, "Only such a beautiful flower is worthy of someone as beautiful as you."
This little tyke’s mouth must have been smeared with honey.
But why does this flower look a bit familiar...
Did Long Yi mess with her Flower Room again!!!
Picking Princess Xinyang’s flowers to give to Princess Xinyang, nobody does it quite like that.
Afterward, Little Jingkong invited Princess Xinyang to his west chamber and boastfully showed her his homework, which was nearly faultless except that the handwriting was not neat enough.
The real reason for the untidy handwriting was that he was still too young, lacking in wrist and hand strength, and Gu Jiao didn’t allow him to write too much for fear it would affect his growth.
He really was an incredibly smart child.
Xiao Hen came from the next room and what he saw was Little Jingkong showing off and puffing himself up in front of Princess Xinyang.
He only acted like this with people he liked; he was very aloof with those he didn’t.
For instance, whenever Gu Jinyu visited, he completely ignored her.
Of course, while bragging, Little Jingkong didn’t miss the chance to smear his ’bad brother-in-law,’ making Princess Xinyang stifle her laughter.
When she heard Little Jingkong reluctantly say— "Really, Princess, you might not believe this, but the bad brother-in-law, who is already eighteen years old, still wets the bed! And after doing it, he even blames it on me! How can adults nowadays be so irresponsible?"
Princess Xinyang almost cried from laughing.
Xiao Hen’s handsome face, however, had turned utterly dark.
Little Monk, you can’t go a day without bad-mouthing me, can you!
"Have you finished practicing your Chen Country character copybook?"
"Have you memorized the ancient Liang Country poems?"
"Have you read the Yan Country Three Character Classic?"
Little Jingkong, with a humph and a pout, said, "Jiaojiao said I can do it tomorrow."
Xiao Hen raised an eyebrow, "Oh, so did you tell Jiaojiao about all the homework you have for tomorrow?"
Little Jingkong, in order to have a lazy day today, had cunningly concealed tomorrow’s catch-up tasks.
