The Prime Minister's Darling novel Chapter 1621

Chapter 1621: 780 first watch

The child’s kick seemed to lack strength, but if the child was Xiao Jingkong, that was a different story.

After all, Xiao Jingkong had been practicing basic skills in the Temple since childhood, and not long ago, he started practicing martial arts too.

The power of his kick was extraordinary!

Concubine Han only felt as if her instep had been hit by a small iron weight. She let out a cry of pain, "Ouch—"

Immediately, she lost her balance and fell backward, landing awkwardly on the muddy path.

Mud splattered everywhere. Xiao Jingkong quickly pulled the Little Princess aside!

In the end, the mud only splattered all over Concubine Han’s face.

Concubine Han was stunned.

At her age, she never expected to take such a fall, especially in front of all the servants.

She was furious and embarrassed. The piercing pain in her right instep and ankle made her carefully maintained face wrinkle. She could no longer maintain her usual noble and calm demeanor.

The palace maids beside her were terrified.

Xu Gao hurried forward, "Your Ladyship, Your Ladyship! Are you alright?"

The two little kids stood there blankly, not understanding what had happened.

Though the feeling of stepping on a stone was different from stepping on a foot, how could children be so perceptive in this regard?

Xiao Jingkong was completely clueless: "Why did this old granny fall?"

Concubine Han was about to be helped up when she heard ’old granny,’ making her so angry she almost exploded and fell again.

She! Old granny?!

You brat, don’t you have any sense at all!

Back in her youth, Concubine Han was a top beauty. Even as she got older, she paid extra attention to maintenance, and she looked less than fifty—a beauty with the elegance of time.

Xiao Jingkong tilted his little head, looking at Concubine Han. He didn’t understand adults’ sensitivity to titles since his master, at twenty-seven or twenty-eight, already called himself an elderly person.

Moreover, his grandaunt at home had no anxieties about appearance or age. She even wished people would call her ’old ancestor’ instead.

So Xiao Jingkong’s use of ’old granny’ was actually quite humble.

Concubine Han’s mouth twisted with rage.
