The Prime Minister's Darling novel Chapter 1620

Chapter 1620: 779 Noble Consort Dou (second update)_2

Xu Gao laughed and said, "That person was bullied by the chief eunuch when he was eight, and Zhang Dequan happened to save him. Since then, he has been loyal to Zhang Dequan. Zhang Dequan has cared for him for nine years and observed him for nine years."

Concubine Han smiled smugly, "It’s a pity he never saw through it."

Xu Gao continued, "How could he have known that the bullying back then was arranged by Your Highness?"

Concubine Han dipped her brush in ink and said arrogantly, "That little eunuch is quite insightful. We’ve cultivated many secret pawns over the years, but many have been exposed. He’s very clever. Tell him that if he helps this palace topple Shangguan Yun and her son this time, this palace will request a decree to transfer him to the Directorate of the Imperial Household. The position of Director at the Directorate of the Imperial Household happens to be vacant. Although he’s young, it wouldn’t be difficult for this palace to elevate him."

Xu Gao exclaimed, "What a great favor! Even this servant is envious."

Concubine Han said, "Then I’ll transfer you to the Directorate of the Imperial Household."

Xu Gao quickly laughed, "Look at what Your Highness is saying. This servant is envious of his recognition by Your Highness, not the position of the Directorate of the Imperial Household. Serving by Your Highness’s side is a blessing accumulated over eight lifetimes. This servant wishes to follow Your Highness for a lifetime!"

Concubine Han laughed, "You certainly know how to talk."

Xu Gao laughed as he moved forward to grind ink for Concubine Han.

Concubine Han glanced at him and said, "Go change your clothes and come back to serve. You’re sick, and I can’t get used to others serving me."

Xu Gao was deeply moved, "Yes!"

Just as he was about to step back, a burst of childish laughter came from outside the Sleeping Palace.

Concubine Han, who disliked noise, frowned and said, "What’s that noise?"

Xu Gao listened carefully, "It seems to be the little princess’s voice. I’ll go take a look."

The rain wasn’t heavy anymore, and only a light drizzle floated in the sky.

Two little bean-sized children were barefooted, wearing tiny raincoats and little straw hats, splashing around in the puddles.

"So fun! So fun!"

It was the first time the little princess had splashed in puddles, and she was excitedly shouting.

Little Jingkong often splashed in puddles back in Zhan Country, wearing the little yellow raincoat Gu Jiao made for him. But this kind of fun never diminished, no matter how many times he did it.

After all, he was now splashing in Yan Country’s water!

And he was splashing with Xiaoxue!

The two little beans played happily.

Even the wet nurse couldn’t stop them.

From a distance, Xu Gao glanced at the two of them and then returned to the Sleeping Palace to report to Concubine Han, "Reporting to Your Highness, it’s the little princess and one of her little classmates."

Everybody in the Imperial Harem knew that the little princess went to Lingbo Academy to study, so it wasn’t strange for her to bring a classmate back.

Concubine Han heavily placed her brush on the brush rest, "So noisy!"

Concubine Han disliked the little princess mainly because she took away too much of the king’s affection, making the women in the Imperial Harem extremely jealous.

Listening to the laughter of the children outside, Concubine Han’s annoyance grew.

She stood up coldly.

Xu Gao looked at her in surprise, "Your Highness..."

Concubine Han said mockingly, "The little princess is having so much fun. This palace wants to see what she’s playing with."

"...Yes." So, he couldn’t change his wet shoes and clothes?
