Divine Doctor Mommy Is A True Big Shot-Chapter 133 - 135: Feng Bailing, Can You Also Understand Horses?

Chapter 133: Chapter 135: Feng Bailing, Can You Also Understand Horses?

The next morning, Feng Bailing took the domesticated seeds out of the emergency kit.

Unlike medicinal herbs, the changes in domesticated seeds are not immediately obvious; only after planting, sprouting, flowering, and fruiting can one know to what extent their genes have been domesticated.

Taking advantage of the dim dawn light, she personally set to work, sifting soil, cultivating seeds, watering, and planted all the seeds in the east courtyard that was cleared yesterday.

She also issued a command that without her orders, no one is allowed to enter the east courtyard.

After daybreak, Feng Bailing got ready, and Feng Wan suddenly appeared, reporting to her about the situation in Qi Village.

"Today, my mother and Nanny Su will go to Qi Village together, and you are responsible for her protection. No matter what happens, avoid conflicts with the villagers and we’ll talk after you return."

After instructing Feng Wan, Feng Bailing got into the horse carriage to head for Yuxiu Academy.

She had registered for three classes, and although she didn’t need to attend them daily, she still had to participate a few times in order to pass the monthly review.

Just as she arrived at the intersection leading to Yuxiu Academy and Imperial Academy, she saw a lonely little figure in the distance.

Dugu Xiaojin was gloomy and dejected, carrying a box on his back, his small head drooping like a dispirited, little quail.

"Xiaojin, who has bullied you?"

Feng Bailing ordered the horse carriage to stop. Since it was still early, she let Dugu Xiaojin get on the carriage and took him to the Imperial Academy first.

Dugu Xiaojin carried a heavy heart.

That day, he and Dongfang Jin had a conflict over Dachun. He heard that afterwards, Dongfang Jin had filed a complaint against Dachun, resulting in both Dachun and Dongfang Jin being expelled from school.

Dugu Xiaojin clenched his fists tightly, his eyes slightly reddening.

Dachun was his first friend and also his only friend.

But until Dachun was expelled, he didn’t know where Dachun lived, and now he couldn’t even go see Dachun if he wanted to.

He couldn’t possibly never see Dachun for the rest of his life. freeωebnovēl.c૦m

Thinking about all this made Dugu Xiaojin very upset.

The real Dachun, after recovering, had been sent by Feng Bailing to Fengtian Academy, and from then on, the Princess’ Mansion would continue to sponsor his education until he achieved academic honors.

While the Imperial Academy did have famous teachers, it was dominated by children of officials and was not suitable for commoner students like Dachun.

"Let me guess, is it... your good friend has left?"

Feng Bailing smiled and nudged Dugu Xiaojin’s nose.

Light immediately appeared in Dugu Xiaojin’s dimmed eyes. How did she know?

Dugu Xiaojin liked Feng Bailing very much, but because of previous traumas, he hadn’t fully accepted her yet.

He feared that Feng Bailing would be like that woman before, seemingly kind-hearted on the surface but changing after marrying his father.

"As long as you take your medicine, eat your meals properly, in a few days, I promise that your good friend will return. By the looks of it, you haven’t eaten breakfast properly."

Just as Feng Bailing finished speaking, Dugu Xiaojin’s stomach began to growl loudly.

Dugu Xiaojin’s face instantly turned red.

Feng Bailing took out a food box, inside of which were snacks prepared by Mrs. Su, with warm milk, some eggs, seven to eight kinds of low-sugar pastries, and fruits—both healthy and non-fattening.

People of Great Chu only ate two meals a day, but Feng Bailing’s modern stomach was not used to this; besides, she frequently used her seventh sense and occasionally needed to replenish her energy.

Feng Bailing shared half with Dugu Xiaojin, watching him finish eating before patting his head.

"From now on, I’ll have Feng Wan deliver breakfast to you every day."

Dugu Xiaojin’s eyes widened, feeling a warm sensation in both his heart and stomach.

At the entrance of the Imperial Academy, Dugu Xiaojin already had a smile on her little face. She waved goodbye to Feng Bailing and entered the Imperial Academy.

After arriving at Yuxiu Academy, Feng Bailing saw Feng Ruoyan descending from the horse carriage alone.

Feng Ruoyan wore a white flower in her hair. She looked somewhat haggard, dressed in plain clothes, yet she seemed to carry an added elegance.

Old Madam Feng was proclaimed by the State Preceptor to be possessed by evil spirits; even the funeral could not be properly conducted. Last night, the funeral in Feng Residence lasted one night without a single mourner; at first light, the body was hastily sent out of the city in a thin coffin for burial.

"Did you hear? Feng Xiangxue won’t be coming to Yuxiu Academy anymore. They assigned an Honored Wife from the palace to teach her etiquette. Such grand protocol for a mere concubine."

Just arriving at Winter Tower, Ouyang Chenchen approached and spoke to Feng Bailing.

"She’s not aiming to be just a concubine. I heard from the State Preceptor that Feng Xiangxue’s destiny is favorable and she can bring prosperity to Dongfang Li. Noble Princess Consort Xiao has always been superstitious, and hearing this made her very happy. As long as Feng Xiangxue makes an effort, after entering the family and giving birth to a son and a daughter, she could be promoted to concubine."

A concubine could be placed on the Royal Jade Disc; this was Feng Xiangxue and the Feng Family’s dream.

Feng Bailing knew that Feng Xiangxue must have been afraid Xiao Junci would visit again, but she herself was not worried, after all, she had the protection of a "high person."

Seeing the day’s lessons, Ouyang Chenchen’s face fell.

"Today we have a horseback riding class. I just found out it’s Dongfang Li’s class."

Although Dongfang Li was not known for his character or kindness, as Emperor Yongye’s currently most favored son, he had his strengths—his horsemanship was unmatched among all the princes and was chosen by the discerning Lady Nan Xiu as the male teacher.

Horseback riding lessons, unlike other classes, were conducted outdoors.

The so-called field was a large patch of woods between Yuxiu Academy and the Imperial Academy, with a row of stables built nearby. The horses used for classes by both institutions were kept there.

Nearby was a wide, natural lake, with beautiful surroundings and an idyllic view.

Winter Tower was very close to the horseback riding and archery grounds, and Feng Bailing and Ouyang Chenchen arrived a bit early. Other female students had not yet arrived.

This year, due to Dongfang Li, the number of female students taking riding classes had significantly increased.

Some were there specifically for him, having chosen the tiding class.

Dongfang Li seemed distracted; he had not received any news of the woman he met that day.

He had thought she was one of the Yuxiu Academy female students but despite searching, he couldn’t find any trace of her.

Dongfang Li was almost sick with longing these past few days.

Princess Mingxia was also among the crowd. When she saw Feng Bailing, she hesitated for a moment but did not avoid her this time.

"Don’t just stand there, go pick a horse. Today we’ll ride first, then learn archery."

Dongfang Li, surrounded by a flock of girls, felt a headache coming on. He waved his hand, signaling the female students to go choose their horses.

There were a total of thirty female students in today’s class and there was a bit of trouble during the horse selection—the stables were short two horses.

"The Imperial Academy is also holding a horseback riding and archery class ahead of us and took a batch of horses."

The Coachman managing the stables reported back.

"We’re only short two or three horses, those without a horse step forward."

Dongfang Li had just finished speaking when he saw Feng Bailing, Feng Ruoyan, and Princess Mingxia step out.

"You three, ride my horses."

After Dongfang Li said that, Feng Ruoyan and Princess Mingxia couldn’t help but feel overjoyed; they were both hoping for a chance to get close to Dongfang Li. Even just riding Dongfang Li’s horse was willingly acceptable to them.

"But that leaves one more, I’ll ride that one."

Feng Bailing had no desire to touch anything Dongfang Li had, especially his horse. She pointed towards the far end of the stable, at the black horse standing there.
