The Prime Minister's Darling novel Chapter 393

Chapter 393: 201 Witness Testimony (Updated)_3

Xu Zhuzhu and Qin Chuyu actually didn’t know each other. Qin Chuyu and Little Monk were in the same class – a class for average students. His father introduced them, and he couldn’t disobey him.

Little Monk doesn’t like Qin Chuyu. One reason being, Qin Chuyu is spoiled and unreasonable; the second reason is that whenever he’s with Qin Chuyu, no one pays attention to what he’s saying. Little Monk doesn’t understand what this feeling is, but he instinctively feels uncomfortable.

Xu Zhuzhu has no particular feelings towards Qin Chuyu.

However, he could sense that his friends were not welcoming towards Qin Chuyu.

Feeling like he did something wrong, he said apologetically, “I’m sorry, I won’t bring him next time.”

“It’s okay. For your sake, I can play with him.” Little Monk is a generous child. As long as Qin Chuyu doesn’t try to steal Jiaojiao from him, he could negotiate everything else.

...

“What are you guys playing?” Qin Chuyu asked.

Xu Zhuzhu said, “We are building houses.”

With his arrogant tone, Qin Chuyu said, “What’s the point of building such small houses? If you’re going to build, build the Imperial Palace!”

“What’s the Imperial Palace?” Little Monk, a curious boy, asked.

“The Imperial Palace is where my fath… eh-um, where the emperor lives!” Qin Chuyu almost slipped, breaking out into a nervous sweat.

Luckily, the two children didn’t catch on.

Little Monk asked again, “What is an emperor?”

He grew up in a temple, never exposed to such information, and in his current home, his family never mentioned anything about an emperor.

Xu Zhuzhu, coming from a bureaucratic family, knew the answer and explained to Little Monk, “He is the lord of Zhan Country, the most powerful person in the entire world!”

“Oh.” Little Monk seemed to understand, but not quite. He didn’t really want to understand either. He was only interested in their little house, “I’ve never seen the Imperial Palace, so I don’t know how to build it.”

Xu Zhuzhu shrugged, “Me neither.”

They haven’t even seen the Imperial Palace. What a pair of country bumpkins!
