The Prime Minister's Darling

Chapter 536: 268 Mother and Son (First Round) Chapter 536: 268 Mother and Son (First Round) “Your auntie? Is your auntie in the palace?” Qin Chuyu asked.

Xiao Jingkong nodded, “Yes! I just saw her! They said she lives in the Imperial Palace!”

Qin Chuyu was puzzled.

Living in the Imperial Palace? The ones who truly live in the palace are the royal family, like the Empress Dowager, the empresses, concubines, and their royal children. However, there are many palace maids in the Imperial Palace. Perhaps, one of them is his little friend’s auntie?

“What is your auntie’s name?” Qin Chuyu asked.

“My auntie’s name is… is…” It took Xiao Jingkong a while to remember that he didn’t know his auntie’s name, “I don’t know!”

“This…” Qin Chuyu sighed, “It will be very difficult to find her if you don’t know her name. There are more people in the Imperial Palace than students in the Guozijian.”

Xiao Jingkong pondered for a moment, a sudden flash of light in his mind, “They call her the Empress Dowager!”

“Choke!” Qin Chuyu choked, “Empress Dowager? Your auntie is the Empress Dowager? Are you part of the Zhuang family?”

Xiao Jingkong thought for a moment and answered seriously: “I am a farmer in the countryside, but now we have moved to the Capital City and no longer farm, so I guess I can’t be considered a farmer anymore.”

Qin Chuyu: What does this have to do with farming? Why are you not a member of the Zhuang family once you moved to the Capital City? Can you just change that?

The two children chatted at cross purposes for a while and Qin Chuyu still couldn’t figure out whether Xiao Jingkong was a member of the Zhuang family or not.

He was only eight years old. He was knowledgeable yet ignorant. But he did know that his mother and Concubine Zhuang were on bad terms.

Qin Chuyu said seriously, “If you are part of the Zhuang family, then I cannot play with you in the future.”
