When Pretend Meets Pretend [Quick Transmigration]

"Master National Teacher?" Gu Jiajin called him, but Ling Chen closed his eyes tightly and couldn't wake up, but after a quarter of an hour, Ling Chen's eyebrows relaxed again, as if nothing happened just now.

Gu Jiajin frowned, her drowsiness dissipated a bit, and she closed her eyes in a daze until the middle of the night when she couldn't hold on anymore.

The next morning, Gu Jiajin stayed in bed for a long time and couldn't get up.

Ling Chen called him several times, but he didn't answer, but his small face rubbed against Ling Chen's wrist skillfully.

Ling Chen chuckled, the little guy is quite good at acting like a baby.

He didn't call him again, he packed up his clothes and got up.

When Gu Jiajin woke up, most of the morning had already passed, and when he went to look for Ling Chen in the study, he found some new books on the table Ling Chen had prepared for him.

"You will learn these today."

"Okay." Gu Jiajin responded obediently.

Gu Jiajin spent half a day reading those books, and then took the initiative to ask Ling Chen to ask questions. Seeing Ling Chen's surprised eyes, she was secretly happy.

Seeing that the time was almost up, Gu Jiajin shook Ling Chen's clothes, "Master, did you feel unwell last night?"

"What happened to me last night?"

Gu Jiajin described Ling Chen's state last night in detail.

After hearing this, Ling Chen looked surprised, "Last night...was it really hard?"

"Ok!"

Ling Chen touched his head, "Didn't you have a nightmare?"

"No, it's really not a dream, it's real, you were in pain for a while last night, and then you returned to normal."

Ling Chen was quiet for a while, "It may be another cold illness, I will pay attention to it in the future."

"The weather is fine today, let me take you home."

Gu Jiajin couldn't hide the disappointment in his eyes, but it was really outrageous to live in the National Teacher's Mansion all the time, so he could only nod his head.

Ling Chen accompanied Gu Jiajin to the palace without using a carriage.

It was not until he sent the person back to the dormitory that Ling Chen waved his sleeves and left.

Many people in the palace directly saw the Master Guoshi escorting the Seventh Prince back.

Not long after, Gu Jiajin was called to talk by the old emperor. The other party was already five or sixty years old, and the wrinkles on his face were clearly visible. When he saw Gu Jiajin, a smirk appeared on his face.

"Ajin, I heard that you slept in the National Teacher's Mansion yesterday, and today you were sent back by the National Teacher in person."

Facing an eight-year-old child, the old emperor remained vigilant.

Gu Jiajin replied, "Yes, Royal Father. I was not feeling well yesterday, and it happened to be known by the Master of the State Teacher. He took me to his house for a fortune-telling."

Upon hearing this, the old emperor asked anxiously, "What's the matter?"

"I don't remember much of the words of Master Guoshi. I only heard that my illness will be cured the next day, and Jin Kingdom will be healthy and worry-free for decades to come."

The old emperor remained calm, "The national teacher really said that?"

"Yes, Father."

The old emperor has always been cruel and decisive in the government and the opposition, but he is somewhat afraid of the national teacher.

The national teacher is the aspiration of many people in the state of Jin. They all think that the national teacher has the ability to reach the sky, and they have always been in awe of him.

"Since Ah Jin was ill yesterday, let's rest well today."

After the old emperor finished asking, he didn't intend to let Gu Jiajin stay longer.

Gu Jiajin saluted, and then went back to her bedroom alone.

When Ling Chen returned to the National Teacher's Mansion and recalled what Gu Jiajin said, his expression changed a little. He took out a bamboo slip and wrote a few words on it.

Ling Chen had prepared all the books that Gu Jiajin wanted to learn, and every time he went to Ling Chen empty-handed.

After Gu Jiajin didn't go to the Zhaishufang for a few days but went to study at the National Teacher's Mansion, the people in the palace were eager to move.

One day, Gu Jiajin was about to walk to the National Teacher's Mansion when the five-year-old Ninth Prince, dressed in yellow, walked up to him.

"Brother, can you play with me?" The other party held a sandbag in his hand.

"No, I'm going to study."

Gu Jiajin didn't like to coax children, so she walked straight forward.

"Brother." The Ninth Prince grabbed Gu Jiajin's clothes, but refused to let go.

Gu Jiajin's expression turned cold.

The Ninth Prince looked like he wanted to cry, "Brother, don't you like me?"

At this time, the imperial concubine in purple clothes came, followed by several people in a big way.

"Aqi, come here. I said why can't I find you."

She looked surprised when she saw Gu Jiajin at the side, "Yeah, the little seventh prince is here too."

The Ninth Prince pulled Gu Jiajin's clothes and glanced at his mother and concubine.

The imperial concubine smiled, "It seems that Ah Qi likes you very much! Would you like to come to Xiangxiu Palace for a sit down?"

She pulled the Ninth Prince and said to Gu Jiajin.

"Thank you, Concubine, but I still have to go to class today."

"Isn't the Zhaishufang open for a day today, where does the little seventh prince go to class?"

Gu Jiajin knew that the women in the harem must have a lot of thoughts, and today the Ninth Prince suddenly wanted to come and play with him, it must be the concubine's handwriting.

He doesn't want to miss the time with his lover because of irrelevant people

"My concubine, I'm going to the National Teacher's Mansion."

"Oh?" The other party's red lips curled up, "Is the national teacher accepting students now? Little Seventh Prince, can I ask for me, is the national teacher willing to teach my chess?"

Gu Jiajin's complexion gradually became forbearing, as expected, the harem's scheming was the worst in ancient times.

"I will help the imperial concubine to ask."

"Thank you very much. Come and sit with me often in the future. We hit each other very well, and I like you very much. You are a sensible and obedient child at first glance."

The concubine's hand touched Gu Jiajin's face, and pinched his face with her fingers.

A strong smell of rouge came to the nostrils.

Gu Jiajin said without changing her face, "Thank you, Ma'am."

The imperial concubine and the people around her came suddenly, and they left without delay.

Gu Jiajin sighed, and continued to walk outside the palace.

"Today is later than usual." Ling Chen looked at Gu Jiajin who entered the door, "Is someone looking for you?"

Gu Jiajin nodded, "The imperial concubine asked me to ask if you would like to teach the Ninth Prince."

Ling Chen didn't know where to find a handkerchief, and wiped his face.

Gu Jiajin snickered inwardly, obediently allowing Ling Chen to move.

"Don't pay attention to her, stay away from her next time you see her. The imperial concubine's luck has been very bad recently. If you follow her, you will easily get bad luck."

"really?"

"I won't lie to children. It's time for you to read."

Gu Jiajin sat down obediently.

Sure enough, something happened to the imperial concubine later.

Gu Jiajin was a little skeptical, did Ling Chen do this, or did Ling Chen really count as destiny?

For the next two years, Gu Jiajin also studied with Ling Chen. After she was nine years old, Gu Jiajin was allowed to learn martial arts.

Seeing the exceptionally superior performance of the children who had just come into contact with these, Ling Chen expressed his satisfaction, this is the apprentice he taught.

One day, Gu Jiajin was reading in Ling Chen's study when a servant came in to deliver a message.

Ling Chen got up and said to Gu Jiajin, "I'll go out for a while, you stay here."

After Ling Chen came back, his face was reddish, he looked like he had drunk alcohol, but the smell of alcohol was not strong on his body.

Gu Jiajin looked at Ling Chen, who was a little sleepy, propping his chin with his hands, and secretly thought that Ling Chen's body would not be "a glass poured down".

Without Ling Chen's instructions, none of the servants in the mansion showed up.

Gu Jiajin couldn't help thinking that she could finally stay tonight.

Ling Chen accidentally fell asleep lying on the table, revealing half of his fair face.

Gu Jiajin walked up to him, reached out and poked his face.

no response.

Gu Jiajin was relieved.

He found another higher chair, put it next to Ling Chen's chair, and put his head on the table.

After staring at Ling Chen intently for a while, Gu Jiajin closed her eyes contentedly.

But in the middle of the night, Gu Jiajin was awakened by Ling Chen's movement.

Still the same as two years ago, Ling Chen looked very uncomfortable.

Gu Jiajin's heart sank, and she quickly shook Ling Chen's hand.

"Master National Teacher?"

After calling several times in a row, Ling Chen was finally woken up by Gu Jiajin.

"My lord, what happened to you just now?"

Ling Chen opened his eyes, his eyes were not normal black, but dull gray.

"you……"

Ling Chen blinked, and his pupils turned black again.

Gu Jiajin hastily tugged on Ling Chen's sleeve, "My lord, are you... not feeling well? Your forehead was sweating just now."

Ling Chen looked calm, "It's okay, I've got something wrong." Thinking that the child might be frightened, he rubbed Gu Jiajin's head soothingly.

"What kind of old problem is this?"

"It's just a common problem of fortune-tellers. You don't need to know too much."

Ling Chen actually lied, but at the moment he really just wanted to prevaricate the child, and too many explanations were useless.

Gu Jiajin understood Ling Chen's expression, pursed her lips and stopped talking.

"It's already midnight? Why don't you go back? But it's so late now, you can go back to the room with me to rest."

Ling Chen took Gu Jiajin's hand and walked towards his room.

Gu Jiajin felt a little uncomfortable. Her lover had a physical problem, so she didn't care.

It's time to look through medical books tomorrow.

……

"My lord, are you really not going to tell me the truth? What happened to your body?"

In the past few years, Ling Chen's preference for Gu Jiajin can be regarded as an upright one, and he didn't mind letting people know that he was sent by the Seventh Prince.

He has always indulged Gu Jiajin.

However, regarding his physical illness, he has been reluctant to tell Gu Jiajin the truth.

"Ajin, I told you that you don't need to worry about it."

Gu Jiajin was unhappy, "But I care about you!"

"I saw a strange man last time. When you saw him, his expression was obviously wrong. What's going on?"

Ling Chen didn't expect him to say this suddenly, "When will I..."

"I have noticed, Mr. National Teacher, I have studied with you these years, and I still know how to read your emotions."

Ling Chen didn't want to say more, turned around and left.

Gu Jiajin saw that the man was about to leave, but was not reconciled, stepped forward to hold him, and suddenly apologized, "Lord National Teacher, I'm sorry, I was impulsive, but I really care about you."

Gu Jiajin softened her tone and spoke to Ling Chen slowly.

And that man seemed to really know Ling Chen, but Ling Chen didn't like him very much.
