After the banquet, the crown princess also returned to the East Palace.

The prince's expression was a little sullen.

"Your Highness." The crown princess stepped forward, "What are you thinking?" ”

The prince sighed: "The third child has been in the limelight a bit lately. ”

In fact, it's not that the third child has more limelight, but that he has less limelight, and King Rui himself is not afraid, he has no big ambitions, and he only follows King Ning with one mind.

But the more favored the third child is, he will even bring King Ning to get more attention from the emperor.

was originally the eldest son, different from the rest of the princes.

Emperor Xia Jiangnan took King Ning and left him in the court to supervise the country, it seems that he has profited, but along the way, the father is kind and filial to the son, who can say that the emperor's heart will not be more biased towards this eldest son?

The crown princess looked at him reverently: "Your Highness, don't worry, the envoys of the Liang Kingdom have arrived, this is a good opportunity for Your Highness to shine in front of your father, Your Highness will definitely be more favored by your father than anyone else, I will help Your Highness." ”

said that Princess Rui had planned to go to Gu Jiao after leaving the palace, but it was so late, she thought that Gu Jiao should have gone back, so she decided to look for her during the day.

Gu Jiao didn't know what was going on, but she was indeed no longer in the hospital, she was standing under the locust tree at the gate of Guozijian at this moment, quietly waiting for Xiao Liulang to get out of school.

In the evening class, the master answers questions and solves doubts, and the students study on their own, go to the podium to ask the master if they have questions, and do the questions on their own seats if there are no problems.

At this time, the evening class is over, and one after another, the prisoners are coming out of the Guozi prison.

Many people are no strangers to Gu Jiao.

Gu Jiao is not taboo about her appearance, and often sends Xiao Jingkong and Xiao Liulang to school, and Xiao Jingkong and Xiao Liulang are not taboo about her appearance, and generously let people know that she is their sister and lady.

At first, everyone saw Gu Jiao just curious about her appearance, and occasionally looked at her twice, but they didn't take the initiative to greet her.

However, as Xiao Liulang became famous in Guozijian, more and more people nodded and saluted Gu Jiao.

Gu Jiao obviously felt that her status had changed.

This kind of change is not brought about by treating people by himself, it is Xiao Liulang who has become famous in his studies, and the proud sons of the country will be willing to look at her, a small peasant woman in the countryside.

Don't look at it as a simple greeting, but it crosses classes.

How many people have never been able to break through the class barriers above their heads in their lifetime?

So in ancient times, reading was indeed the easiest way to change a person's fate.

It's not that farming and business are bad, but the real carp jumps into the dragon gate, and you have to rely on studying.

"School is already out of school, but there are several prisoners asking Xiao Huiyuan for advice, you may have to wait a little longer." Seeing that Gu Jiao had been waiting for a long time, a prisoner kindly said to Gu Jiao, "Why don't I go and inform Xiao Huiyuan?" ”

Gu Jiao said politely: "Thank you, I'm not in a hurry." ”

"Then, I'll go first!" The prisoner finished and left.

Gu Jiao continued to wait for Xiao Liulang.

Xiao Liulang didn't know that Gu Jiao was waiting for him outside, he was explaining to a few inmates the key points that he didn't understand in today's class, and some inmates from the Reckless Hall also came to listen to him.

The progress of each grade is different, but they can understand what Xiao Liulang said, the senior students will not feel too shallow, and the lower grades will not feel too profound, and they can all gain something.

Xiao Liulang wasn't so powerful from the beginning.

He not only has to tutor elementary school bully like Xiao Jingkong, who knows everything, but also tutors elementary school scum like Gu Yan and Gu Xiaoshun, who don't know anything, so he gradually practiced the strong skills of deepening simple topics and simplifying complex topics.

Approaching the palace exam, the big guy's time is enough not to mention, the people who participate in the palace exam are all opponents, and no one is willing to help classmates improve their grades at this juncture.

Xiao Liulang only taught Lin Chengye and Feng Lin at first, but by chance the classmates around them asked Xiao Liulang questions, Xiao Liulang answered patiently, and gradually, more and more people came to Xiao Liulang, and even the old students of this class would come to ask him for advice.

Xiao Liulang has an advantage, he is not selfish when he lectures, and he never worries about feeding his apprentices and starving his master.

He doesn't have a shelf yet.

Of course, people are also good-looking, pleasing to the eye, and the voice is good.

In short, more and more people came to listen to Xiao Liulang's lectures.

There are fewer and fewer people who think that he has come to this day by walking shit luck, and his knowledge, personality, and character are very admirable.

Of course, he doesn't deal with everyone.

Some female students came to ask for advice, and he slapped his face without grace, and there were many people who cried angrily on the spot, and vowed never to come to him again.

"Hmph, what's there to do with a poor boy in the country? I came to you for advice, I can afford you! I really think of myself as a sweetheart! ”

"That's it! No one is as proud as you! ”

King Anjun has appeared in the hospital more times recently, and has been bumped into several times by the daughters of female students, and someone asks him for teaching, and he will try to answer what he can, and if he can't answer, he will politely say sorry for the inconvenience.

The two ranked first in Chunqiu, and they were inevitably compared by the world.

"Look, this is the cultivation that a son of a family should have!"

Xiao Liulang's reputation in the capital was polarized, the inmates of Guozijian thought he was approachable and did not hide his selfishness, and the female students scolded him for being a little cripple who had not seen the world and had some achievements.

"That's all for today, it's time for me to go home, and everyone should go back and rest." Xiao Liulang finished another important point and closed the book.

Everyone knows that he has a little lady at home, and he is afraid that the little lady will be in a hurry.

Everyone is not too selfish and uninteresting people, Xiao Liulang is willing to spend time to give them a lecture is already very face-saving, there is no reason to drag Xiao Liulang here all the time.

"Brother Xiao, thank you."

"Thank you, Brother Xiao."

And they thanked him.

He is the youngest, and calling him brother is an honorific title.

Xiao Liulang bowed his head, took his crutches and walked out of the country.

When he saw Gu Jiao, his eyes moved, and he stepped forward and said, "Why are you here?" Have you waited a long time? ”

"No, just arrived." Gu Jiao shook her head.

Xiao Liulang looked at the few small dirt pits on the ground that she stepped on, and pretended to believe it.

He took her little basket and carried it on his back.

If this was in a previous life, it would probably be to help his girlfriend backpack, right? Not at all worried about anyone laughing at him.

Gu Jiao is quite happy to think about it.

"Give."

Xiao Liulang suddenly handed over something wrapped in brown paper.

"What?" Gu Jiao took it, opened the layers of kraft paper, and found that it was a piece of jerky wrapped in syrup.

Gu Jiao looked at him stunned.

"For you." Xiao Liulang looked ahead without squinting, "Don't you like to eat?" ”

The jerky was given by one of the prisoners of the Frank Hall, and this kind of jerky coated in syrup was the exclusive secret recipe of their family, and they ate it for a few children in the family without doing business.

A few days ago, Xiao Liulang gave him a lecture, and as a token of gratitude, he gave Xiao Liulang a piece of jerky.

Xiao Liulang took it back and gave it to Gu Jiao.

Gu Jiao gave it to her aunt and three younger brothers, and she only tasted a small bite of the syrup and minced meat stuck to the kraft paper.

Hmm, why is it so delicious?

Gu Jiao, who was not much interested in eating, was amazed by this taste.

But Gu Jiao didn't say it, I didn't expect him to find out.

"Where did you buy it?" Gu Jiao asked.

"A classmate gave it." He said.

In fact, he asked his classmates for it.

This kind of meat is not very easy to make, I asked for it last time, and I only made it today.

The dignified Xiao Huiyuan would be greedy for appetite and ask his classmates for meat to eat, and he was really not afraid of spreading it to make people laugh.

It was given by someone else, and Gu Jiao was reluctant to eat it.

Xiao Liulang knew that this would be the case, and said to her: "I left it for them, and this share is yours." ”

Gu Jiao glanced at him, suddenly pinched the kraft paper with both hands, broke the dried meat into two pieces, and handed him the big one: "You eat it too." ”

Xiao Liulang didn't refuse, pinched the kraft paper and took the jerky.

Gu Jiao began to enjoy her own food.

The jerky itself is spicy, but the outer layer of syrup is very sweet and greasy, it should not be ordinary white sugar, more like honey, so it has a slightly sour taste.

It was so delicious.

Gu Jiao held the jerky and ate it in small bites, like a little squirrel foraging for food.

Xiao Liulang walked beside her, looking at her, until she finished eating, and smashed her mouth with unfinished thinking, before handing her the half of the dried meat that had not moved at all in his hand.

As if afraid that she would refuse, he said, "I can't eat it, you eat it." ”

"Oh." Gu Jiao didn't say anything, and took the piece of jerky from him, but before eating, she broke off a small piece and fed it to him.

Although the envoys of the Liang State have entered Beijing, they have little to do with the common people at the bottom, so what should everyone do.

Xiao Jingkong got up early in the morning to practice, Gu Jiao didn't have to make breakfast today, Mama Fang did, Gu Jiao accompanied Xiao Jingkong to practice the basic skills for a while.

When wiping the sweat of the little guy, Gu Jiao expressed the doubts in her heart: "Why do you always practice these?" ”

Xiao Jingkong tilted his head and said, "That's all I have!" ”

Gu Jiao: "......!! ”

It's too bad to only care about the child's learning, and forgetting that martial arts is also going to be progressive.

The first few years of the temple should be mainly to teach basic skills, and when the basic skills are solid, some boxing techniques and martial arts routines will be slowly taught.

The small clearance went down the mountain early, and he didn't have time to learn martial arts.

Gu Jiao can order Tai Chi and Five Fowl Opera, but she is not proficient, in her previous life, she was all about the ability to kill people and sell goods, and it is not appropriate to teach them to children.

Looks like we're going to have to hire a martial arts teacher for the little guy.

Gu Jiao's first thought was Gu Chengfeng, who had been squeezed more recently, making it easier to think of him.

But that guy is a thief, in case he doesn't pay attention and makes him teach the little clear space to be a thief-

Gu Jiao's mind flashed the picture of Xiao Jingkong wearing a mask and being a ninja thief, and shook her head decisively!

Gu Jiao thought of Gu Changqing again, Gu Changqing was good, but he was too busy, he was in the barracks all the year round, and it was almost difficult to see him on weekdays.

Gu Jiao secretly remembered this in her heart.

After breakfast, Xiao Liulang and Xiao Jingkong went to school in Guozijian, Gu Yan and Gu Xiaoshun went to school in Qinghe Academy, and Gu Jiao went to the medical hall.

Not long after she arrived at the hospital, Princess Rui came.

She was holding the case in her hand.

In fact, after playing it yesterday, she knew that this piano was very valuable, and the reason why she didn't show it in public was because she didn't want it to be too eye-catching.

The two came to Gu Jiao's yard.

Princess Rui said about taking the wrong qin: "My little eunuch is not doing well, I'm sorry." ”

Gu Jiao already understood what was going on, she shook her head: "It's my side's negligence." ”

After all, Xiao Jiangli is a child, she should check the piano case.

Princess Rui held Gu Jiao's hand: "Then I should really thank you for your negligence!" If it weren't for your piano yesterday, I would have made a match! ”

Princess Rui is also competitive, especially in terms of music, she is never willing to match others.

"Wen Linlang must have known this, so she didn't tell me in advance, I was going to play with someone! And Xie Leshi, why did you suddenly fall and get hurt? I don't think she let Xie Leshi play at all! ”

She had already inquired, and Xie Leshi was not injured.

"Humph! She just wants to sacrifice me to curry favor with those envoys of the Liang State! ”

After King Rui returned home last night, he had already comforted Princess Rui, saying that from the perspective of diplomatic means, the crown princess did not make a mistake in this move, but just wronged Princess Rui.

The princess can marry and marry far away in order to make friends with the two countries, and as a royal princess, it seems that it is nothing to sacrifice for the overall situation.

In the final analysis, the crown princess is a politician, but Princess Rui is not, and all the two have conflicting concepts.

Princess Rui was so angry that even his man spoke for that woman!

"Why doesn't anyone think she's doing anything wrong? Shouldn't you say hello to me first? Don't you think that's not respectful enough for me? ”

Princess Rui's concept was very advanced in ancient times, and she awakened a part of the feminist consciousness.

"So, are you playing well?" Gu Jiao asked.

Princess Rui raised her chin and said proudly, "Of course! ”

In the house, she is still very reserved, she doesn't dare to be too public, she is very relaxed here in Gu Jiao, and the little excitement and pride that she has suppressed all night are expressed.

"You don't see their eyes straight!"

"Prince Yu applauded me!"

"That Moonshadow-sama's descendant disciple is nothing more than that!"

Look, look, this little tail is up to the sky.

Fang Cai's depression has all disappeared.

However, Princess Rui returned to the palace and did not forget the good luck: "Actually, thanks to your piano, with my own piano skills, it is difficult to take advantage of that song." ”

Gu Jiao was not too surprised.

After seeing the golden abacus and the deed of the small clearance, Gu Jiao had long since treated this broken qin as an ordinary broken qin.

"That musician from Liang Guo actually wanted to pay for your piano, but I refused." Princess Rui said and looked at her.

"Hmm." Gu Jiao nodded approvingly, "The piano was given to me by Xiao Qingkong, and I don't sell it." ”

Princess Rui breathed a sigh of relief, it seems that she was right to refuse to be nameless yesterday.

Her eyes fell on the guqin: "Then again, what kind of qin is this?" It is engraved with Fuxi, it can't really be the Fuxi qin, right? ”

Princess Rui thought that Gu Jiao would deny it, but Gu Jiao thought about it, sighed, and said seriously: "Maybe." ”

Princess Rui: "......"

The business of the hospital was not busy in the morning, and Princess Rui sat in Gu Jiao's courtyard for half an hour and chatted with her for a while.

Regarding the matter of the envoy, Princess Rui only said one thing, after all, she is not a politician, and secondly, she has no ambition, so she is not too concerned about the envoy's visit.

On the contrary, because Princess Rui and Yao were both pregnant, Gu Jiao was also interested in this topic, and the two chatted about pregnancy and the baby.

After that, the hospital was busy, and Princess Rui also returned home.

In the royal garden on the other side, there is a magnificent courtyard, and from time to time there is a low coughing sound coming from inside.

The subordinates guarding the door all looked solemn and did not dare to come out.

Inside the house, Prince Yu held her son who was coughing and her face turned red, and asked distressed and anxiously, "When will the prince come back?" ”

The accompanying chamberlain said: "If you go back to Niangniang, the prince and the ministers of Zhaoguo have a terrible quarrel, and the slaves can't see the prince at all!" ”

The two sides negotiate like this, always arguing and arguing, and in serious cases, they will flip the table.

Princess Yu didn't care about what they were arguing about, she was only worried about her son's condition.

My son has been coughing for 10 days, and the doctor they brought with him has been medicating, but apparently he can't cure her son's illness.

The chamberlain hesitated for a moment and asked, "Why don't you ...... The minion went into the palace to see Empress Xiao and asked her to send a royal doctor from Zhao Kingdom, right? ”

Prince and Princess Yu thought for a while: "Slow, don't enter the palace first." ”

At the important moment of negotiation between the two sides, she was not worried about putting her son's life in the hands of the other party.

Although the Zhaoguo royal family will definitely not harm her son, if someone wants to use the Zhaoguo royal family's hands to make trouble, her son will be in danger.

Moreover, even if no one makes trouble, Zhaoguo will not be able to negotiate with Liang Guo by treating her son's illness and sitting on the ground.

After all, she has been a princess for so many years, and she always thinks more than ordinary people.

Prince Yu and Princess Yu instructed: "You go and inquire, what are the more famous medical centers in the capital?" Be careful not to be discovered. ”

"Yes!"

The chamberlain changed into the clothes of an ordinary servant and went out of the garden to avoid people's eyes and ears.

An hour later, he came back: "Princess, the servants have inquired, there are three largest medical halls in the capital - Lingzhi Hall, Tongde Hall and Rejuvenation Hall, and there is also a Miaoshou Hall, which is said to have good medical skills. ”

Princess Yu asked, "Which is the nearest medical center?" ”

The waiter said, "Miaoshou Hall." ”
