273 Spoiling Jiaojiao (One more update)_3

The Empress Dowager Zhuang cleared her throat and took the candy with a look of disgust, making sure Gu Jiao didn't see her drool.

The flavour was just as she remembered, pleasantly sour and sweet, with a faint hint of plum aroma.

Unlike the sweetmeats in the palace, they were a little less sweet but unexpectedly tasty.

After finishing the three drops, the Empress Dowager Zhuang was still not satisfied.

Gu Jiao blinked and asked, "Does it taste familiar?"

Empress Dowager Zhuang responded seriously, "How can I tell from just three candies?"

"True." Gu Jiao hesitated for a moment, then pulled out a small paper bag from her pouch containing three more candies.

The Empress Dowager was silent as she watched the candies, then stared at Gu Jiao's pouch.
