First Lady of the Crown Prince

Chapter 911 Jingkong and Xiaobao (first update)

 He only poked out his round little head.

The man is too short, only a little higher than the threshold.

 He raised his head with great effort. The child's head was heavy, and this movement made his already unstable little body teeter.

 Finally, he fell down.

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

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

Looking at the face that was almost exactly the same as Gu Yan's, Gu Jiao let out an amazement.

With this small nose, small mouth, and small face, he is just like a smaller version of Gu Yan.

Human cubs are so cute!

 Want to pinch!

The cub was very fragile. Gu Jiao suppressed the urge to pinch his face and just poked his little face with her index finger.

Hand aside.

 She was so soft that her heart melted.

“Do you still remember me?” Gu Jiao asked him with a smile.

Gu Xiaobao looked at Gu Jiao blankly, as if he didn't remember.

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

Gu Xiaobao couldn't understand what she was saying, and his eyes were wide and round.

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

 “Ouch—”

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

 “I’ll go take a look.” Xiao Heng said to Gu Jiao.

 “Yeah.” Gu Jiao nodded.

 “Xiaobao, Xiaobao—”

 Yao's call came from the corridor.

Hearing his mother's voice, Gu Xiaobao twisted his little body and was about to get out of Gu Jiao's arms.

Gu Jiao was worried that he might stumble while walking in a hurry, so she simply held him and pushed open the courtyard door and walked in.

Mrs. Yao caught a glimpse of her daughter who was returning home. She was dressed in a long blue dress and had a graceful figure. Her skin color was darker than before, her facial features were longer and her eyebrows were more heroic and brighter than before.

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

 Looking at her daughter, whom she had not seen for more than a year, she was so excited that the tip of her nose suddenly became sore.

 “Mother, mother.”

Gu Xiaobao stretched out his little hand towards her.

She turned her back and wiped her red eyes, walked towards Gu Jiao with a smile, and took Gu Xiaobao over: "When did you come back..."

 She was referring to when she arrived at Bishui Hutong.

She learned a little bit about Gu Jiao's affairs in Yan State from Xiao Heng and Gu Yan. She also knew that she would return to Beijing today with the Yan State envoy.

 It was just that she heard that there was a banquet in the palace and thought that Gu Jiao would enter the palace first and then go home after the banquet was over.

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

Yao looked at her son funny: "I don't even bother to let you go out on weekdays. What happened today? Did you know that sister is back? Did you go to open the door for sister? Did you call sister?"

Gu Xiaobao dove into Yao's arms.

Yao couldn't help it, smiled, and said to Gu Jiao, "He's shy."

Gu Jiao poked his raised little buttocks.

 Gu Xiaobao's little face was still buried in Yao's arms. He raised his little hand, reached behind his little butt, and awkwardly pried Gu Jiao's fingers.

Gu Jiao laughed.

"By the way, I brought two guests here." After enough poking, Gu Jiao invited Xuanyuan Qi and Liao Chen into the hospital, and said to Yao, "Marshal Xuanyuan of the Yan Kingdom, Jingkong's great-uncle, this is his My son, Crown Prince Xuanyuan, is Jingkong’s…uncle.”

 After saying that, she introduced Yao to the two of them, "This is..."

 She paused.

Yao glanced at her, her eyelashes trembled slightly, and she said to the two of them in a warm voice, "I am a delicate mother."

"Mrs. Gu." The father and son greeted her with cupped hands.

While talking, the Xuanyuan family's carriage also arrived, and the servants moved a few boxes from the carriage as a welcome gift to them.

 “We are all our own people, so there is no need to be so open-minded.” Yao said.

 “It’s a little thought, Madam, please accept it.” Liao Chen said.

Gu Jiao held onto Yao's arm and said softly: "Take it."

Since his daughter said this, Mr. Yao had no choice but to accept it.

She looked at the father and son with a pleasant look: "Are you here to see Jingkong? Jingkong, Yan'er, and Xiaoshun went to the orchard to pick fruits. They have been there for a while and should be back soon. Let's go inside and have a cup of tea."

Rather than being respectful, the father and son obeyed the order and entered the house together with Yao.

"Huh? Did you meet Ah Heng when you came from the city gate?" Yao asked Gu Jiao.

　　What's more, if you have a clear mind, you've encountered it? There was also a bowl full of dog food, and my stomach was still full at the moment.

Gu Jiao said: "We came back together. He went to Grandma Zhou's house to help."

Yao was pleased: "That's good, that's good."

Mammy Fang is not here today, and Yuyaer has gone to buy spices.

Mrs. Yao couldn't handle the child alone, so she hired a maid and a cook. The cook was cooking in the kitchen at the moment, and the maid was called Yuanyang.

"Yuanyang has been here for a year, and her hands and feet are very nimble." Yao said to Yuanyang, "Pour tea for the eldest lady and the guests."

As soon as Yuanyang heard this title, he understood Gu Jiao's identity and hurriedly made tea.

 Gu Xiaobao is still hiding in Yao's arms, but he will secretly turn his head to look at Gu Jiao from time to time. If he finds that Gu Jiao is also looking at him, he will turn his head away and bury himself in Yao's arms again.

It was dark outside, and Yao couldn't see their faces clearly. There was an oil lamp in the house.

Yao's eyes fell on Chen's face, and he suddenly whispered in surprise: "I have seen you."

 Liao Chen looked at her unexpectedly: "Oh?"

Yao didn't mean to offend, but in order to verify whether she was dazzled, she took another look, and then said firmly: "Yes, I did see it, it was the temple near Qingquan Village, and you are from the temple Monk...I remember...the presiding abbot...even called you junior brother..."

 Lochen switched to monk mode for a second, performed a Buddhist salute with one hand, and said calmly: "Amitabha, it turns out that donor Yao has met the poor monk."

Yao was shocked and didn't understand what was going on. Is he the prince of Yan State or the monk of the temple?

After Xiao Heng, Gu Yan and others returned home, they talked a lot about their experiences in the Yan Kingdom with Yao, but they mainly talked about Gu Jiao.

Gu Jiao explained: "It's a long story. Crown Prince Xuanyuan is both Jingkong's uncle and Jingkong's master. They both became monks in that temple."

Yao had an epiphany: "So that's it."

 The noble prince of the upper country actually went to the lower country to become a monk. A lot of things must have happened. Yao knew it in his heart, but he did not dig into the details on such an occasion.

The four of them had not sat down for long before three young men came back carrying baskets.

 “Jiaojiao!”

 Xiao Jingkong was the first to cross the threshold, and he caught a glimpse of Gu Jiao in the main room.

He carried the small basket, ran over, and threw himself into Gu Jiao's arms: "Jiaojiaojiaojiao! You are finally back! I miss you so much!"

Xuanyuan Qi sat diagonally opposite Gu Jiao. When he called out Jiao Jiao for the first time from the small clearing, he looked towards him.

 Is this Xiaoliu’s child?

The sound is crisp and pleasant.

Xuanyuan Qi was like a dead tree that suddenly came to life, staring at the small clear space with bright eyes.

Xiao Jingkong only had Gu Jiao in his eyes, and didn't notice him or Liao Chen beside him.

 The corner of Liao Chen's mouth twitched.

Little smelly monk, after all, I have been your master for so long, but you can’t even see me?

“Jiaojiao, did you miss me?” Xiao Jingkong said coquettishly.

 “I missed you.” Gu Jiao said.

Xiao Jingkong then raised his head with some satisfaction and greeted Yao and Gu Xiaobao on the side: "Donor Yao, Xiaobao."

At this time, Gu Xiaoshun and Gu Yan also entered the room.

"elder sister!"

"sister!"

 The two of them almost said the same thing, as if they did not expect to see Gu Jiao at home.

The two pinched each other, and it hurt so much that they were not dreaming, Jiaojiao was really back!

 Different from the young monks, they noticed the guests in the house.

Yao smiled and introduced to them: "Jingkong's great-uncle, Grand Marshal Xuanyuan, another... son of the Grand Marshal's family, you can call him Prince Xuanyuan."

The two of them had never met Chen in Yan State, let alone Xuanyuan Qi at the border.

But the Xuanyuan family knew about it, and even the general marshal of the Xuanyuan family came to their house?

The two of them looked at Xuanyuan Qi, who was sitting there like a hill, and seemed to feel the unrivaled strength of the other party!

Gu Yan: "Wow!"

Gu Xiaoshun: “Wow!”

Gu Xiaobao imitated: "Wow!"

“Jingkong, your master is here.” Gu Jiao reminded Xiao Jingkong, who was lying in his arms and didn’t want to get up.

"My master didn't come." Xiao Jingkong curled his lips and said without looking back, "How could he come if he is so lazy?"

As soon as he finished speaking, a slender hand reached over, lifted him up, and said dangerously: "Who are you calling lazy?"

Gu Xiaobao: "Lazy."

Xiao Jingkong looked at Chen Chen and rolled his eyes: "Xiao Bao is lazy."

Gu Xiaobao: "Xiaobao is lazy..."

 After learning the words, he waved his hand belatedly and emphasized seriously, "Xiaobao is not lazy."
