Gu Jiao came to pick up Little Jingkong today, but unexpectedly, the little rascal had gone to the palace with the Little Princesses.
Empress Dowager Zhuang twitched her mouth. The little monk was getting by so well? He could even visit the Dayan Imperial Palace?
"So why did you bring the weapon?"
As expected of the Empress Dowager, her eyes were sharp.
Gu Jiao scratched her little head, "Lately, there have been a lot of enemies, it’s for self-defense."
Empress Dowager Zhuang sat in the bathtub behind the screen, calm and collected, and responded with an "Hmm".
It was as if she was saying, this was the correct way to see things, she knew there would be trouble, and she arrived just in time.
When Empress Dowager Zhuang and the old wine master had finished tidying up, Xiao Hen also arrived.
Gu Jiao went downstairs to buy clothes and asked the coachman to make a trip back to the National Master Hall to fetch Xiao Hen to this restaurant.
Xiao Hen didn’t know that his aunt and the old wine master had come. When he entered the private room and saw the two elders sitting in the Grand Master Chair, he was so shocked his mouth couldn’t close.
Opportunities to see Xiao Hen so flustered were rare.
Gu Jiao sat beside her aunt, leisurely watching him, her lips slightly curved.
She evidently thoroughly enjoyed her husband’s bewildered expression.
Xiao Hen took a long time to snap out of his shock. He hurriedly entered the room, closed the door, and inserted the latch.
"Aunt, teacher," he greeted in astonishment.
The old wine master gave a light cough, "Calling me teacher could easily reveal our identities."
"Grand-uncle," Xiao Hen corrected.
The old wine master was fairly satisfied, picking up the teacup beside him and taking a sip calmly.
Xiao Hen was incredibly shocked. He couldn’t believe what he was seeing, yet the two elders had indeed truly appeared in the Shengdu of his Dayan.
Xiao Hen took a deep breath, suppressing the remaining shock inside him, and asked the elders, "Aunt, grand-uncle, why did you come to the Yan Country?"
The old wine master asked deliberately, "Are you asking about the reason or the method?"
Xiao Hen said, "Don’t quibble about words."
"Before answering your question, first tell me what happened to your face?" The old wine master asked, looking at the tear mole under his right eye.
This tear mole had originally been removed by Princess Xinyang.
