Chapter 929 - 929: Stop Bullying My Brother
He watched as the second prince, Gu Zitang, left elegantly.
The child heaved a sigh of relief.
Fortunately, her second brother was usually more naive and foolish.
If it were Fifth Brother, who knew if he would be this easy to fool?!
The third prince stood up and bade farewell to the tenth prince and Gu Nuo’er.
“Third Brother still has to go to the Imperial Academy of Medicine to ask some questions that I’ve encountered when reading books. I won’t stay to play. Tenth Brother, take good care of Nuo’er.”
He even instructed, “She’s young and is curious about some novel things. It’s normal for her to be curious. However, you have to be careful not to let Sister accidentally inhale such medicinal powder.”
The tenth prince quickly stood up and cupped his hands politely. “Don’t worry, Third Brother. I’ll definitely remember it.”
Only then did the third prince, Gu Ziyao, pat Gu Nuo’er’s head dotingly and turn to leave.
Gu Nuo’er also planned to return to Chengqian Hall with the tenth prince.
Gu Ziliang lowered his ice-blue eyes and looked at his sister. His gaze looked extremely gentle under the sunlight.
“Nuo’er, I’ll send you back to the Qiushui Palace first.”
Unexpectedly, the child looked up. “No! I want to accompany Tenth Brother to Chengqian Hall first. Otherwise, that old baddie Master Tao will definitely scold you! Brother, let’s go!”
She tugged with her small hand and pulled the tenth prince forward.
Not long later, the siblings returned to Chengqian Hall.
When they arrived outside the side hall where the tenth prince was having class, before they could enter, they heard Master Tao’s dissatisfied complaints coming from inside.
“Please go and tell Her Highness Concubine Jin that it’s not that I don’t want to teach the tenth prince, but he is just too playful!”
“I left for a while because I had something to do and asked him not to waste time. I had him copy the Analects of Confucius here. Unexpectedly, when I returned, he had already run away!”
When the tenth prince heard this from outside, a hint of helplessness and embarrassment flashed across his eyes.
Gu Nuo’er walked in with him and saw a palace maid standing in front of Master Tao, apologizing in a low voice.
“Master Tao, this is a token of Her Highness’s appreciation. The Tenth Prince has a reserved personality, so please forgive him.”
She handed over a small bag of silver.
Master Tao had his hands behind back, looking like he didn’t care for this.
He glanced at the silver bag. It didn’t look like much, so he decided not to accept it.
The palace maid was still saying good things. “Master Tao, Concubine Jin has also been praising you for being a good teacher. Please accept this gift.”
“After we go back, this servant will definitely communicate well with the tenth prince.”
Master Tao snorted coldly. “The tenth prince doesn’t understand at all how to respect teachers at all! How is it possible to communicate with him?!”
Gu Ziliang walked in. His eyes were dim, making his ice-blue eyes look apologetic.
“Auntie Siyu, this is my mistake. Let me talk to the teacher.”
This palace maid called Siyu was Concubine Jin’s personal maidservant that she had brought with her from her home country.
Like Concubine Jin and the tenth prince, she had tall brow bones and deep brown eyes.
“Your Highness…” Siyu sighed, feeling troubled.
Master Tao raised his head even more. “Your Highness, you’re really making me feel helpless. I asked you to copy books and you ran away. I can’t teach you anymore!”
Gu Ziliang was about to say something when Gu Nuo’er took a small step and stood in front of her brother.
Just now, when she was standing behind the tenth prince, so Master Tao didn’t see her.
Now that he suddenly saw the princess coming out, the teacher’s eyes popped out and he quickly straightened his posture, bowing slightly.
He smiled apologetically and said, “Princess, why have you come?”
Gu Nuo’er placed her hands on her hips, her milky-white face puffed up with anger.
“You just said that you can’t teach anymore, right? Very good. I was just about to change a teacher for Tenth Brother!”
