The Prime Minister's Darling

Chapter 1428 - 1428 695 first watch

?Chapter 1428: 695 first watch Chapter 1428: 695 first watch Tianqiong Academy was on holiday today, and it was while going to the Marketplace to buy vegetables that Gu Jiao heard travelers passing by talk about it. The National Master had returned to Shengdu in the middle of the night, and early in the morning, a long queue of people seeking an audience with the National Master had formed outside National Master Hall.

“So many people want to see the National Master?”

The vegetable vendor asked the merchant drinking soy milk at the stall next door, then turned to Gu Jiao and said, “Ten knife coins.”

Gu Jiao handed over ten knife coins to the vegetable vendor and packed two fresh melons into the small backpack behind her.

The merchant guzzled down half a bowl and only then, with his head sweating profusely, said, “How could they not? The line stretched for three li! Carriages could hardly get through! If I wasn’t in a hurry to leave the city for business, I would have joined the queue myself!”

The last time Gu Jiao went to National Master Hall to inquire about the National Master’s whereabouts, the eldest disciple Ye Qing had told her that the National Master would return early in the month if possible, or at the latest by the end of the month.

It was naturally best not to wait until the end of the month, as Gu Yan’s illness grew more serious the longer it was delayed.

After buying the vegetables, Gu Jiao returned to the Mansion.

“You’re back.” Nangong’s mother looked at the beads of sweat on her forehead and hurriedly took the small backpack from her, saying, “I didn’t expect Shengdu to be so hot this year, you must be feeling stuffy, right?”

She was referring to the issue of Gu Jiao binding her chest.

Gu Jiao had grown too well in these past two years, and to hide her feminine body, she had to wrap it tightly, making Nangong’s mother feel hot on her behalf.

Gu Jiao said, “It’s alright.”

She could endure it.

Nangong’s mother said sympathetically, “You really have it tough. I’ve boiled some mint water, it will be ready soon.”
