Chapter 468: 237 Seeking a Doctor (Second Update) _3

Early in the morning, Xiao Jingkong was practicing martial arts. Gu Jiao didn’t need to make breakfast today, since it was being prepared by Room Mother, so she accompanied Xiao Jingkong for a while during his basic training.

While wiping the sweat off the little guy, Gu Jiao expressed her doubt, “Why do you always practice these exercises?”

Xiao Jingkong tilted his head, “Because these are the only ones I know!”

Gu Jiao: “…!!”

Damn, she was so focused on the child’s studies, she forgot martial arts also needed to progress step by step.

The first few years in the temple should focus on teaching basic skills. Only when the basic skills are honed do they gradually teach some boxing techniques and martial arts routines.

But Xiao Jingkong left the mountain early and didn’t get a chance to learn martial arts.

Gu Jiao knew a little Tai Chi and Five Animal Frolics, but was not proficient. In her past life, she was taught killer moves in her organization, which was not suitable to teach a child.

It seems she needs to hire a martial arts teacher for the little guy.

The first person Gu Jiao thought of was Gu Chengfeng, who she’d been extracting more from recently, which made her think of him more easily.

However, that guy was a thief. If he accidentally turned Xiao Jingkong into a small thief—

The image of Xiao Jingkong wearing a mask and becoming a little ninja thief flashed in Gu Jiao’s mind, and she decisively shook her head!

Gu Jiao then thought of Gu Changqing. He was quite good, but too busy. He was in the military camp all year round, rarely seen on normal days.

Gu Jiao kept this issue in mind.

After breakfast, Xiao Liulang and Xiao Jingkong went to the Guozijian for school, Gu Yan and Gu Xiaoshun went to the Qinghe Academy, and Gu Jiao went to the Medical Hall.

She hadn’t been at the medical hall for long when the Prince of Rui’s wife arrived.

She was carrying that qin box.

Actually, after playing yesterday, she knew the qin was very valuable. The reason she didn’t show this in public was because she didn’t want to draw too much attention.

The two went to Gu Jiao’s courtyard.

The Prince of Rui’s wife explained the mix up with the qin: “My eunuch was incompetent. I’m sorry.”

Gu Jiao already understood what was going on. She shook her head, “It was negligence on my part.”

Little Jiang Li was just a child after all. She should have checked the qin box.

The Prince of Rui’s wife grasped Gu Jiao’s hand: “Then I really should thank you for your negligence! Without your qin yesterday, I would have been overshadowed by other players!”

The Prince of Rui’s wife also had a competitive spirit, especially in music. She wouldn’t accept being overshadowed.

“Wo Linlang must have known this and that’s why she didn’t tell me in advance that I was supposed to play with someone else! And Master Xie, he suddenly sprained his ankle? I think she just didn’t want Master Xie to perform!”

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

“Humph! She wanted to sacrifice me to please those Liang emissaries!”

Yesterday evening after the Prince of Rui returned home, he had already consoled his wife, saying from a diplomatic perspective, the Crown Prince’s wife hadn’t made a wrong move, it’s just that it was a bit unfair to the Prince of Rui’s wife.

A princess can marry far away for good relations between two countries, and as a royal wife, it seemed fair to sacrifice a little for the bigger picture.

After all, the Crown Prince’s wife was a politician, the Prince of Rui’s wife was not, so their perspectives clashed.

The Prince of Rui’s wife was furious that even her own husband was defending that woman!

“Why doesn’t anyone think she did something wrong? For such a thing, shouldn’t she tell me in advance? Doesn’t she think it’s disrespectful to me?”

The Prince of Rui’s wife’s concept was quite advanced for ancient times. She had awakened some sense of women’s rights.

So, did you play well?” Gu Jiao asked.

The Prince of Rui’s wife smugly nodded, “Of course!”
