The Prime Minister’s Darling-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.

As the atmosphere on site grew unbearably tense, the monarch arrived with Zhang Dequan.

He was here to find the Little Princess.

He was quite surprised that she hadn’t insisted on going to the National Master Hall today. Had the little girl changed her temperament or grown tired of playing with her friends? Then he heard she had brought her friend back to the palace.

This little girl had even learned to bring people home.

But there was nothing he could say.

Because, as Zhang Dequan reminded him, he had indeed told the little girl that she could bring friends back to the palace to play someday.

The monarch arrived at the scene, seeing the chaos and Concubine Han looking as if calamity had struck, with the two little kids seemingly frightened by her. ƒree𝑤ebnσvel-com

"What happened?" he asked sternly.

"Your Majesty!" Concubine Han and her entourage hurriedly bowed to salute him.

Paying no mind to her appearance, Concubine Han said to the monarch, "Your Majesty, it’s nothing serious, it’s just that the child..."

Accidentally stepped on my foot.

Before she could finish, the Little Princess rushed over to hug the monarch’s leg, turned her head to glance at Concubine Han, and said, "Concubine Han fell, she got hurt, I’m really scared!"

"What are you scared of?" The monarch couldn’t help but laugh, "With such a timid heart, how do you still run around every day?"

Xiao Jingkong came over and politely greeted, "Hello Uncle Xiaoxue."

He already knew the Little Princess’s identity and that her uncle was the monarch of Dayan Country.

But his family never instilled the notion of supremacy of royalty over commoners, nor did the emperor of Zhan Country or Qin Chuyu.

Everyone was simply making friends.

The monarch’s gaze fell on the little guy’s innocent face. If, when he didn’t know his identity earlier, his composure was natural, now knowing he was the monarch of Dayan Country, he could still remain so unflustered.

Is this little guy foolish, not understanding the power of royalty, or is he naturally fearless even when he understands?

The monarch suddenly thought of the Xuanyuan Family, recalling what Xuanyuan Li once said.

He asked Xuanyuan Li what his lifelong pursuit was.

He thought Xuanyuan Li would respond with loyalty to Dayan, assisting the monarch, or revitalizing the Xuanyuan Family and making it Dayan’s top family under his leadership.

But he guessed wrong.

Xuanyuan Li stood under the vast sky, a solemn expression on his face, and said, "To establish a heart for Heaven and Earth, to set destiny for the people, to continue the lost teachings of past sages, and to establish peace for all future generations!"
