Divine Doctor Mommy Is A True Big Shot-Chapter 162 - 164: Dugu Xiaojin’s Worries

In the air, there floated a rich fragrance of flowers.

Feng Bailing’s room usually had some fresh flowers displayed, but today the fragrance was much richer.

A white jade porcelain vase held a few orchids.

These orchids were brought today by Dugu Wu, claiming that Xiaojin had brought them from the Imperial Academy.

Feng Bailing hadn’t paid much attention at the time, but now upon a closer look, her face slightly changed.

She took a medical mask from the first aid kit and put it on, walking over to the vase.

The orchids in the vase, originally rare white Yulan orchids, had changed color at night, turning from white to black. As the color of the flowers changed, so did the fragrance.

Normally, the fragrance of white Yulan orchids was pure and rich, clear and not muddled, with a sweet scent. However, the black orchids had an even denser fragrance, at first smell it seemed pleasant, but after a long exposure, it made one feel drowsy, as if drunk.

Feng Bailing, being a physician, was very sensitive to fragrances, so she didn’t smell them for long.

She hurriedly opened the window, and the night breeze diluted the fragrance somewhat.

There was something wrong with these flowers.

Feng Bailing felt her mind clearing up a bit.

The flowers were given by Dugu Xiaojin; Feng Bailing wouldn’t suspect his intentions, and Dugu Wu was unaware.

The flowers were from Xiaojin, who said he had picked them from Sacrificial Officer Guo’s garden. Tomorrow morning, she would still send Xiaojin to the Imperial Academy to check and clarify the origin of these flowers.

Feng Bailing thought for a moment and put the vase of orchids into the Medical Cabin.

Just as the first ray of dawn appeared, Feng Bailing hadn’t gotten up when she heard noises in the courtyard.

"Brother Xiaojin, you’re up early. Xiao Li is very sleepy."

Feng Xiaoli kept rubbing her eyes and yawning, her chubby little body leaning against Hei Dian.

Dugu Xiaojin had been standing in a horse stance for half an hour already.

"My father says, ’The plan of the day starts with the morning. Get up at the crowing of the cock, absorb the sunlight and the moonlight to strengthen the body.’"

His little face was covered in sweat, his gaze firm.

"Her Majesty says, ’Early to bed and late to rise is good for health.’"

Feng Xiaoli’s voice grew quieter, and she fell asleep leaning against Hei Dian.

Dugu Xiaojin nodded towards Hei Dian, who then carried Feng Xiaoli back inside.

Feng Bailing had already moved aside, seeing Dugu Xiaojin seriously practicing, she didn’t stop him.

Although she didn’t fully agree with Dugu Wu’s method of raising his son, Dugu Xiaojin was a very excellent child. The physical and mental trials were greatly beneficial for his growth.

Feng Bailing quietly left the yard and headed toward the east courtyard.

She had been too busy last night to check on the crops and the Water Holy Seal in the east courtyard.

In the well, the Water Holy Seal was as usual, shining brightly with the moisture and looking lively.

Feng Bailing was not worried about it being discovered. Firstly, only she could enter the east courtyard for the time being, and secondly, she gradually realized, be it the Water Holy Seal or the Dragon Queen, they were like her first aid kit, visible only to her.

Others couldn’t see it, probably because she possessed the seventh sense.

Dugu Wu had sensed the presence of the Water Holy Seal, but he couldn’t see it with his own eyes.

After watering the crops again, Feng Bailing paid special attention to a few mysterious seeds that had sprouted.

Unlike before sprouting, their growth had been extremely slow, but after sprouting, these seeds grew quickly, already sprouting leaves.

Recognizing the pattern of the leaves, Feng Bailing took out the orchids from the first aid kit.

Under the sunlight, the orchids turned back into their translucent white jade color, and the fragrance became pure and exquisite, indistinguishable from other precious orchids.

If it weren’t for what Feng Bailing saw last night, she would have thought that the black orchid she saw was just a dream.

The mysterious seeds bought by Mr. Zhao of the palace were exactly these odd orchids that changed colors from day to night.

Feng Bailing couldn’t be sure now, she could only wait a few days, after the orchids bloomed to confirm.

Returning from the east courtyard, Dugu Xiaojin and Dongfang Lianhua were chatting and laughing. Both had just finished their morning exercise, Dongfang Lianhua wiping the sweat off Xiaojin, her eyes filled with affection, it was clear she also liked Xiaojin a lot.

Taking the opportunity while Mrs. Su was preparing breakfast and Dongfang Lianhua was washing up, Feng Bailing took Dugu Xiaojin to wash up.

Feng Bailing dressed Xiaojin in a new outfit, and he seemed very happy. He was not good at expressing, hesitated for a long time, finally gathered courage learning from Feng Xiaoli, tiptoed, and kissed Feng Bailing.

Feng Bailing smiled. Dugu Xiaojin was slowly changing, a good sign.

After finishing their meals, Feng Bailing planned to send Xiaojin to the Imperial Academy, but the little guy was somewhat reluctant when he heard it.

"Queen Mother, I’ll go by myself."

Dugu Xiaojin said and then ran off.

"What’s wrong with this child?"

Feng Bailing didn’t want to force Xiaojin. She thought for a moment and followed him to the Imperial Academy.

After separating from Feng Bailing, Dugu Xiaojin looked unhappy.

He didn’t actually want to upset his mother. But ever since Dongfang Jin was expelled from the Imperial Academy, students from the Heavenly Class had been ostracizing him; he didn’t want his mother to worry, so he’d rather not have Feng Bailing go there.

Dugu Xiaojin was absent-minded along the way and didn’t notice that Feng Bailing was following him.

Walking all the way to the Imperial Academy, just as he reached the entrance, several kids blocked Xiaojin’s path.

"Dugu Xiaojin, you really have no shame, using your favor from Sacrificial Officer Guo to drive away the Imperial Grandson. If I were you, I’d have dropped out already. These kids were followers of Dongfang Jin; their parents were ministers or nobles in the court; they had always disliked Dugu Xiaojin."

"Get out of the way!"

Dugu Xiaojin said coldly.

"If you want to pass, crawl under our legs. You, a mere commoner, dare to be in the Imperial Academy. Sacrificial Officer Guo isn’t here yet, I want to see who can back you up."

The children hooted loudly, the passing students from the Imperial Academy also saw this scene but just shook their heads and walked away.
