The Prime Minister’s Darling - Chapter 651

Chapter 651: 310 The truth comes out (two updates)_3 Chapter 651: 310 The truth comes out (two updates)_3 “Do you know how to?” asked the Emperor.

“Of course I do!” Xiao Jingkong said, patting his little chest.

He combs Xiao Ba’s fur every day!

Xiao Jingkong took a comb from the dressing table, kicked off his shoes, and climbed on to the bed. Standing behind the Emperor, he began to comb the Emperor’s hair.

He did it quite well.

The Emperor was amused and started talking more: “Do you know how to recite poems?”

Xiao Jingkong said, “I do, but I don’t like reciting poems.”

The Emperor laughed, “Then what do you like?”

Xiao Jingkong said, “I like singing.”

He had just learned a few new songs with Jiaojiao recently.

“Oh?” The Emperor laughed, “You can sing too? Sing a few for me to hear.”

“Um…” Xiao Jingkong thought hard and paused his combing.

He summoned a little emotion, raised a small hand, and began to sing with a flair: “The northern wind is blowing~ The snowflakes are drifting~ The snowflakes are drifting~ The New Year is here~ My father goes to dodge the bill~ A whole seven days~”
The Emperor shuddered.

Why such a sad song?

Did he think his mood wasn’t miserable enough?

Xiao Jingkong was extremely immersed in the song, with a look of sorrow in his eyes, and teardrops glistening.

The Emperor could hardly bear to watch: “Can’t you, a child, sing something cheerful?”

“Sure!” Xiao Jingkong switched his emotions in a second, tying the Emperor’s hair into a braid while singing merrily, “Other people’s daughters have flowers to wear~ Your poor father doesn’t have money to buy~ I’ll take down a two-foot red headband~ And tie it up for my darling daughter~ Hey~ tie it up~”
The Emperor’s face darkened with his hair tied into a big braid!

What a mess!

The Emperor felt he couldn’t listen anymore, or he would explode with anger.

“I.. I… I have another song!” Xiao Jingkong cleared his throat, grasped the Emperor’s braid, shivered his petite body, and cried out, “Ya!”

He used too much force, pulling the Emperor’s hair and almost tearing off his scalp!

“Cough, Cough. I got the tune wrong. Let me try again!” Xiao Jingkong gathered himself, his face became serious, and he used all his strength to-
“Ya~ Uncle Ba and Little Uncle~
Yi~ Give it to Lhasa without showing off wealth~
Died~ Killed his father and didn’t say a thing~
Le~ It’s probably about killing mother~
Father died a lot~”
Actually, the last sentence didn’t have the “one” sound, but Xiao Jingkong felt it wasn’t smooth and rigorous to sing it that way, so he added a “one” himself.

He really was a clever little ghost!

The Emperor wasn’t enjoying it as much as Xiao Jingkong.

What on earth was this kid singing? Talking about killing fathers and mothers, was it really appropriate for a child of his age to sing such violent songs?

The Emperor decided to give Huo Xian a good talking-to about what he was teaching the kids in Guozijian!

Also, can he just sing and stop pulling his hair?

At his age, retaining such thick hair wasn’t easy. Be careful not to pull him bald!

Xiao Liulang came back from Guozijian first, and Xiao Jingkong finally stopped his double torture on the Emperor’s hairline and dragon ears.

He went to brag to his mean brother-in-law about his growth.

After bragging, he sat by the door, stretching his little legs, putting his trousers in the most conspicuous position. Each time someone came home, he would brag once.

Gu Xiaoshun touched his nose and said, “Could it be that you pulled up your trousers?”

Gu Xiaoshun pulled Xiao Jingkong’s waistband back to his navel, “See? It can cover your shoes again.”

Xiao Jingkong: “…”

Xiao Jingkong burst into tears with a loud cry!

Gu Xiaoshun, the true villain of the human world!

Finally, Gu Jiao measured Xiao Jingkong’s height and showed him her former record to confirm he really had grown, though not by two inches.

“You’ve grown one inch,” Gu Jiao said.

Xiao Jingkong was sitting in Gu Jiao’s arms, playing with Gu Jiao’s hair pitifully, “Is an inch considered growing taller too?”

Gu Jiao patted his little head, “Of course.”

Xiao Jingkong looked down at his fingers, “Then, then I should be rewarded with a kiss.”

Gu Jiao gave him a kiss on the top of his head.

Xiao Jingkong hopped off the ground, covered his head with his little hands, and quickly ran back to the room.

In the night, Gu Jiao asked the Emperor when she was changing his medicine if he had seen the tassel.

The Emperor shook his head, “I haven’t seen it.”

The next day, Gu Jiao made a trip to the Imperial Palace.

The Empress Dowager had gone to court, Gu Jiao took the tassel and asked Eunuch Qin, “Eunuch Qin, have you seen this tassel before?”

Eunuch Qin shook his head, “This old servant has not seen this tassel.”

“Eunuch Qin, is there a place to collect honey in the palace?” She asked.

Eunuch Qin answered, “There’s a Bee Garden in the southwest corner. Do you want some fresh honey, Miss Gu? I can have someone collect it.”
