The Prime Minister's Darling novel Chapter 1844

Chapter 1844: 913 Family Reunion (Part 1)

There will be a birthday celebration at Grandma Zhou’s house in a few days. She bought rice, flour, and spices, and Xiao Hen helped carry them inside. He happened to come across the homework of Grandma’s grandson.

The child couldn’t read some characters, nor write the strokes correctly, so Xiao Hen helped him out.

When he returned home, several children had gone to play in the backyard, and Xuanyuan Qi also went to the backyard to enjoy family time with Jingkong.

Although his son was nice, his son was past that adorable age already. Where’s the fun compared to little Jingkong?

Gu Jiao was sorting clothes in the east room, laying beautiful dresses neatly across the bed.

When Xiao Hen entered the room, she was admiring each piece of her clothing.

Her eyebrows revealed a look of enjoyment, along with a bit of pride.

Xiao Hen came to her side, looked at her amusedly, and asked, "What happened for you to be so happy?" As he spoke, his gaze fell on the bed full of clothes, astonished, "So many clothes, where did these come from?"

Gu Jiao raised her eyebrow and said, "My mom made them!"

Xiao Hen smiled unexpectedly, "You called her mom?"

Gu Jiao blinked, "...Uh-huh."

Would this girl have shy moments too? Xiao Hen couldn’t help but chuckle.

"Why are you laughing?" Gu Jiao asked seriously.

Xiao Hen cleared his throat, "Ahem, nothing."

You are adorable.

Of course, Xiao Hen’s laughter was not just from being amused by her but also due to a very important reason. He was deeply happy for her.

He didn’t know what she had gone through to have such an emotional hurdle.

But regardless, today she crossed over it.

Actually, Xiao Hen knew these clothes were made by the Yao Family for her. They left the capital city last March, and now it was May, a whole year and two months without Yao Family seeing Gu Jiao.

But the Yao Family thought about Gu Jiao every day, and whenever she had free time, she would make clothes for her, hardly making any for Gu Xiaobao.

These were just the best ones picked by Yao Family herself, and there were many others she dismissed as not good enough and didn’t bring out.

Having shown Xiao Hen her clothes, Gu Jiao began sitting at the bedside, folding them one by one.

Xiao Hen sat on the other side of the bed, handing her clothes and said, "Let me tell you a good news and a bad news, which one do you want to hear first?"

"The good one." Gu Jiao said.

Seems like this girl was really happy tonight, because otherwise by her usual character, she would definitely hear the bad one first.

Xiao Hen was affected by her mood, with a slight involuntary smile at the corner of his lips, "The good news is, our wedding date has been moved forward, no need to wait until October."

"Eh?" Gu Jiao paused in folding her clothes, looked at him with surprise.

Xiao Hen explained, "The emperor uncle changed it, moved it to the 18th of next month, but hasn’t had time to announce it yet. The reason is that the grand empress dowager of Zhan Country is unwell, needing a wedding to bring joy, so the marriage between the two countries was moved forward."

Gu Jiao: Auntie, you are being naughty.

Auntie couldn’t help but brag about her little granddaughter to Xuanping Marquis day in and day out, so she finally gave up her principles: she wants a great-grandchild, now, immediately!

Xiao Hen looked at her gently and said, "However, rest assured, it’s just the date being moved forward, the wedding won’t be simplified."

In fact, Princess Xinyang started preparing for the wedding since January, and everything was already in place.

Xiao Hen saw her silent, and said, "Of course, if you don’t want to move forward, I can have someone change the date back."

Gu Jiao said seriously, "Whether it’s moved forward or not doesn’t matter, mainly just want to bring some joy to Auntie."

Xiao Hen held back his laughter.

"Then, what’s the bad news?" Gu Jiao asked.

Upon mentioning this, Xiao Hen sighed to the sky, "Ah, the bad news is because we are getting married, I am returning to the identity of Xiao Hen, no longer being Xiao Liulang. According to the rules, I can’t live here anymore before the wedding, and since Uncle will return late, the lessons for Jingkong, Gu Yan, and Xiaoshun... will rely on you."

Gu Jiao: A bolt from the blue!

...

After night fell, the family sat together in the hall for dinner.

Little Jingkong insisted on sitting next to Gu Jiao, while still using his exclusive small dish set and tiny vegetarian dishes.

Xuanyuan Qi sat on his other side, listening to him proudly showing off his dish set: "This wooden bowl was made by Jiaojiao, the spoon was made by Jiaojiao, the patterns on the chopsticks were carved by Brother Xiaoshun..."

He spoke about them in detail, showing he was well-cared for at home.

Gu Xiaobao tried to grab his chopsticks, messing up the carefully arranged dishes, but he didn’t get angry and simply picked up a wooden bowl and handed it to Gu Xiaobao, "You can only play with this, chopsticks and spoons will poke you."

Gu Xiaobao obediently took the wooden bowl and clumsily played with it.

Xuanyuan Qi never thought he could have a day to reunite with family members other than his son.

During the meal, everyone ate happily.
