The Prime Minister's Darling novel Chapter 1842

Chapter 1842: 911 Clearing and Xiaobao (1st update)

He only poked out his round little head.

He was too short, just a bit taller than the threshold, all legs at first glance.

He struggled especially hard to lift his head, the child’s head is heavy, this action made his already unstable little body sway precariously.

Finally, he fell onto his bottom.

However, he did not fall onto the ground, but was caught by a soft, plain hand just in time.

Gu Jiao bent down and gently picked him up with both hands.

Looking at the face almost molded exactly like Gu Yan’s, Gu Jiao exclaimed in surprise.

This little nose, little mouth, little face, it’s simply a tiny version of Gu Yan.

Human cubs are just too adorable!

Want to pinch!

Cubs are very fragile, after all, Gu Jiao suppressed her impulse to pinch cheeks, only used her index finger to poke his little face.

One poke on each side.

So soft it melted her heart.

"Do you remember me?" Gu Jiao asked him with a smile.

Gu Xiaobao looked at Gu Jiao blankly, clearly not remembering.

Gu Jiao nodded: "That’s right, when I left you were only five months old, in the blink of an eye, you are over a year old."

Gu Xiaobao didn’t understand what she was saying, his eyes wide and round, glistening.

Gu Jiao turned to Xuanyuan Qi and Liao Chen and said: "My younger brother, Gu Xiaobao."

"Oh dear—"

At the end of the corridor, Zhou Granny’s son was carrying several bags of rice home, one of the bags fell.

"I’ll go check it out." Xiao Hen said to Gu Jiao.

"Hmm." Gu Jiao nodded.

"Xiaobao, Xiaobao—"

The sound of Yao Family calling came from under the corridor.

Gu Xiaobao heard his mother’s voice, twisted his little body, wanting to get down from Gu Jiao’s arms.

Gu Jiao was worried he might fall in a hurry, so she carried him and pushed open the courtyard gate, walking inside.

Yao Family saw her returning daughter at a glance, in a long green dress, standing graceful, her skin a shade darker than before, her features matured, her brows showed more heroic spirit, more radiant than before.

In Yao Family’s eyes, her daughter is always the most beautiful.

Looking at her daughter she hadn’t seen for over a year, she suddenly felt a pang of emotion in her nose.

"Mom, mom."

Gu Xiaobao reached out his little hand to her.

She turned her back to wipe her reddened eyes, and smiled as she walked towards Gu Jiao, taking Gu Xiaobao over: "When did you come back..."

She meant when did she arrive at Bishui Alley.

She has somewhat learned about what Gu Jiao did in Yan Country from Xiao Hen and Gu Yan, also knowing she was supposed to return to the capital today with the Emissary of Yan Country.

But she heard there was a banquet at the palace, thinking Gu Jiao would go to the palace first, coming home only after the banquet ends.

Gu Jiao said: "Just arrived, I knocked on the door, Xiaobao came out."

Yao Family amusingly looked at her son: "Normally you are too lazy to go out, what happened today? Did you know your sister came back? Did you specially go to open the door for her? Did you call sister?"

Gu Xiaobao buried his head in Yao Family’s embrace.

Yao Family couldn’t help but laugh, and said to Gu Jiao: "He’s shy."

Gu Jiao poked at his little round bottom.

Gu Xiaobao’s little face remained buried in Yao Family’s embrace, he lifted his little hand, reaching behind his little bottom, clumsily trying to scrape Gu Jiao’s fingers away.

Gu Jiao laughed heartily.

"By the way, I brought two guests along." Having poked enough, Gu Jiao invited Xuanyuan Qi and Liao Chen into the courtyard and told Yao Family, "Xuanyuan Grand Marshal of Yan Country, Grand-uncle of Jingkong, this is his son Xuanyuan Shizi, Jingkong’s... uncle."

After speaking, she introduced Yao Family to the two, "This is..."

She paused.

Yao Family glanced at her, her lashes slightly trembled, and warmly said to the two of them: "I’m Jiaojiao’s mother."

"Madam Gu." The father and son greeted her with clasped hands.

At this moment, the Xuanyuan Family’s carriage has also arrived, servants unloading several boxes, which are their welcoming gifts.

"We are all family, no need for such formality." Yao Family said.

"A small token, please accept it, madam." Liao Chen said.

Gu Jiao held Yao Family’s arm gently, said: "Please accept it."

Since her daughter said so, Yao Family had to accept it.

She looked at the father and son amiably: "You came to see Jingkong, right? Jingkong, Yanyan, and Xiaoshun went to the fruit garden to pick fruits, they have been there for a while, should be back soon, come in and have tea first."

Little Jingkong only had eyes for Gu Jiao, noticing neither him nor Liao Chen nearby.

Liao Chen’s mouth twitched.

Little brat, after all this time as your master, you don’t even look at me?

"Jiaojiao, did you miss me?" little Jingkong asked coquettishly.

"I missed you," Gu Jiao replied.

Only then was little Jingkong satisfied, lifting his head slightly to greet the Yao Family and Gu Xiaoshun, "Benefactor Yao, Xiaobao."

At this point, Gu Xiaoshun and Gu Yan also came inside.

"Sister!"

"Sis!"

They both chimed in almost in unison, clearly not expecting to see Gu Jiao at home.

They gave each other a little pinch, and the pain assured them they weren’t dreaming, Jiaojiao really was back!

Unlike the little monk, they noticed the guests in the room.

The Yao Family smiled and introduced them, "Jingkong’s great uncle, the Grand Marshal Xuanyuan, and the other one... is the young master of the Grand Marshal’s family, you can call him Xuanyuan Emissary."

They hadn’t seen Liao Chen in Yan Country, let alone Xuanyuan Qi at the border pass.

But they knew about the Xuanyuan Family, even having the Grand Marshal of Xuanyuan’s family in their home?

They looked towards Xuanyuan Qi, who sat there like a small mountain, seemingly feeling an invincible aura of battle and conquest from him!

Gu Yan: "Wow!"

Gu Xiaoshun: "Wow!"

Gu Xiaobao copied: "Wow!"

"Jingkong, your master is here," Gu Jiao reminded little Jingkong who was clinging to her and didn’t want to get up.

"My master didn’t come." Little Jingkong pouted, speaking with his back turned, "He’s so lazy, how could he come?"

Just as he finished speaking, a slender hand reached over and lifted him up, dangerously saying, "Who did you say was lazy?"

Gu Xiaobao: "Lazy."

Little Jingkong looked at Liao Chen, his eyes rolling around, "Xiaobao is lazy."

Gu Xiaobao: "Xiaobao is lazy..."

After copying, he quickly waved his hands and seriously said, "Xiaobao is not lazy."
