The Prime Minister's Darling

Chapter 1453: 709 Grandparent and Grandchild Meet (Second Update)

After the morning classes ended, the children came out one after the other.

Zhang Dequan stood at the east side of the courtyard entrance, carefully watching each child as they came out.

It was strange; so many children had come out, but why was his own Little Princess nowhere to be seen? Could something have happened to her?

It couldn’t be possible; he had spoken with Teacher Lu from the Genius Class and mentioned that it was an order from the king himself that he should take extra care of the Little Princess.

A mere teacher at the Academy wouldn’t dare ignore the king’s direct order.

Zhang Dequan waited left and right, while in the classroom, the Little Princess was packing up her books at a snail’s pace.

She had never done such a thing before; when she went to classes, she never brought books because her senior tutor would provide them, and a Palace maid would arrange them for her when leaving.

But here, she had to do everything on her own.

She was flustered and clueless, without the slightest idea of which book to pack up first.

Fortunately, her little desk mate was also still packing, or else if she were the only student left in the classroom, she would have felt very pressured.

Teacher Lu sat at the podium, propping his chin with one hand and his head nodding off bit by bit, almost falling asleep.

Little Jingkong’s sluggish packing had made Teacher Lu question life itself, and now the teacher had found a coping strategy; he would sleep, and the child would pack at his own pace.

Little Jingkong finally finished packing the last book after a quarter-hour since classes had ended. He glanced at the Little Princess’s desk, which was as disastrous as the scene of a major car accident, and asked, “Why haven’t you started packing yet?”

The Little Princess was at a loss, “I don’t know how.”

Teacher Lu nearly pecked his way off the podium like a chicken pecking grains, almost falling asleep, but was startled awake to see that Little Jingkong had finished packing and only the Little Princess was left. He immediately perked up, intending to get up and help the Little Princess with her book bag.

Just then he heard Little Jingkong say, “I’ll teach you.”

A foreboding premonition suddenly filled Teacher Lu’s heart.
