Gu Changqing paused, then said, "There are some things you don't need to know too much about. Whether she knows the Empress Dowager or not has nothing to do with the situation in the capital."
Gu Chengfeng cut in, "You’re talking as if I'm going to inform grandfather about it. Besides, who cares about that girl's secret?"
I obviously know more than you anyway!
Do you know that that girl went after Tang Ming?
Do you know that we staked out the Supreme Commander Estate together to wait for the assassin?
Do you know that the Empress Dowager saved us from Tang Yueshan?
Hehehe!
Gu Chengfeng tossed his head up and went out with his nose in the air.
Gu Changqing shook his head, feeling that his second brother was acting weird today.
Just then, Gu Chengfeng, who had already left, appeared outside his window again, and with his arms akimbo, he said loudly, "I rode horses, drank wine, and went rock skipping with her!"
After all that, he ran away!
Gu Changqing:“…!!!”
……
On the other hand, Gu Jiao, who stayed in Renshou Palace all night, also planned to go back home.
She came last night wearing night clothes, but there were a lot of young women's clothes in Empress Dowager’s place. It was unknown if they were specially prepared for her, but they all fit well on her.
Gu Jiao changed into an ice-blue corset dress, with a portion of her hair tied up in a simple bun, leaving a bit of long hair loose on her shoulders. She was wearing the hairpin that Xiao Liulang gave her that day.
Empress Dowager Zhuang had a basket of jewelry brought over.
Gu Jiao didn't want any of it.
Instead, she took a fancy to a mask also decorated with a peacock feather. The mask was inlaid with dragon crystal which was the so-called obsidian.
She put it on and looked in the mirror.
Oh, looks good!
"Thank you Grandaunt." Gu Jiao thanked her.
Empress Dowager Zhuang snorted.
Eunuch Qin personally sent Gu Jiao to Bishui Alley before returning to the imperial palace.
Eunuch Qin came last night, so the family knew that Gu Jiao was resting at Grandaunt's place. They had nothing to worry about, except that Little Jing Kong couldn't see Gu Jiao after getting up, so his mouth was pouting all morning, so much so you could hang two pots of oil on it.
Gu Jiao decided to pick up Little Jing Kong from school and surprise the little guy.
However, after waiting outside the Imperial Academy for a long time, Gu Jiao didn’t see Little Jing Kong come out. What Gu Jiao didn't know was that Little Jing Kong was asked to call his guardian again.
His guardian was of course Xiao Liulang.
Since Xiao Liulang entered the Hanlin Academy, the number of times he was summoned by his superior was far less than the times he was called in school as the little guy’s guardian.
"What, what is it this time?" Xiao Liulang, clenching his fingers, questioned Liu Quan the moment he informed him.
Liu Quan’s expression was uglier than crying, "It’s still better… if you go and see for yourself!"
Xiao Liulang gritted his teeth and replied, "What is there not to say? He even made his teacher cry with anger. Is there anything more serious than this?"
Liu Quan scratched his head and smiled awkwardly: Hehe, there really is.
Xiao Liulang took a deep breath. He usually didn’t lose his temper, but it didn’t mean he didn’t have a temper. It was just that his good self-cultivation kept it hidden.
But this little monk stepped on his bottom line again and again, and he was really about to blow his top.
Liu Quan thought inwardly: Wait till you get there before you blow your top. If you explode now, you'll have to blow your top again later.
Xiao Liulang and Liu Quan headed to the Imperial Academy.
Perhaps Little Jing Kong left him a psychological shadow. After the mishap happened, Teacher Sun still called Teacher Jiang to help him handle the scene.
The expressions of the two teachers were somewhat indescribable.
Xiao Liulang observed Teacher Sun. He didn't cry, he didn't get hurt, and there weren’t any other children complaining either. It shouldn’t be some major blunder, right?
"Teacher Sun, may I ask what happened with Jing Kong?" Xiao Liulang asked politely.
Teacher Sun had a bet with him, but Teacher Sun never thought Xiao Liulang would win, so he had forgotten the bet long ago. Today, he simply talked with Xiao Liulang as Little Jing Kong’s teacher, "You… better go to the classroom and take a look for yourself."
Xiao Liulang followed Teacher Sun to the classroom.
As soon as he came to the door, he felt that today's classroom was particularly bright. He looked intently and saw that the scene in the room was like a bunch of glowing tiny peeled boiled eggs!
His body shook all over. He suspected that he had gone to the wrong room and subconsciously lifted his foot back.
Teacher Sun gave him a wry smile.
Xiao Liulang was a person who had gone through great storms after all, so he was able to quickly respond. He felt a turmoil in his heart but he didn't show any of it on his face, "This... Jing Kong did this?"
Teacher Sun nodded his head, looking like he was about to cry, "He shaved the heads of half the class… Among them was an imperial prince, and several sons and grandsons of important court officials…"
Your mother. How could he continue living after such a thing happened to his class?
Xiao Liulang was at least mentally prepared, but Teacher Sun had no idea whatsoever when he first entered the classroom. As soon as he pushed the door open, he saw a nest of little monks. The shock was simply overwhelming.
Xiao Liulang said, "It can’t be. Why did he do this?"
Teacher Sun wanted to cry, saying, "That's the problem. Jing Kong didn't force them. They begged him to give them tonsure one by one."
That’s right, tonsure. [T/N: Tonsure is the practice of cutting or shaving some or all of the hair on the scalp as a sign of religious devotion or humility. ]
Teacher Sun remembered very clearly that this was the word Little Jing Kong used when he answered him.
Xiao Liulang felt his tooth ache!
Was this child addicted to shaving people’s heads or what?!
Also, how was he able to bring a razor to the Imperial Academy in the first place?
Xiao Liulang pressed down his anger and called out Little Jing Kong, "Spill it, what's the matter this time? Why did they beg you... to give them tonsure?"
Little Jing Kong responded with his hands spread, "Because they all want to be as smart as me!"
Then he added, patting his little bald head with his little hand, "Grandaunt said, smart people don't have hair. It's called ‘the way to become extremely smart!’"
Grandaunt came to play cards yesterday. He was so sad that he asked Grandaunt why he couldn't grow his hair, and that was what Grandaunt told him!
Xiao Liulang felt the corners of his mouth twitching!
Grandaunt!
Is there anyone else who dupes a child like you do?!
"Achoo!"
In Renshou Palace, Empress Dowager Zhuang, who was reviewing the memorandums, sneezed violently.
Hm, JiaoJiao must be missing Aijia!
Little Jing Kong was at the top of his class and he never lied, so his words were very persuasive.
He said that shaving one’s head could make them smarter, which everyone took as a fact.
Qin Chuyu was the first to support his close friend, followed by Xu Zhouzhou, and then the scene got out of hand right after that.
If Teacher Sun hadn’t come early, the whole class would probably have their hair cursed by Little Jing Kong.
As a matter of fact, he shaved their heads quite well.
Seriously though, how could a four-year-old child be so capable at this kind of thing?
Teacher Sun was bewildered, "He’s quite good at shaving head, was he a monk before?"
Xiao Liulang: "Yes."
Teacher Sun:“…”
