Rebirth: Traveling To Ancient Times As A Companion Reading Chapter 32

vent one’s anger

Joey stood next to Lou Ling. He just wished that he couldn’t turn into a mosquito immediately so that he could fly away from these people.

Lou Ling looked sideways, looked at Joey’s head next to him, which was almost touching the ground, and stretched out his hand.

Joey was startled and glared at Lou Ling sideways.

Lou Ling motioned to Joey to look forward.

Joey slowly raised his head, and Xiao Ming was staring at him.

Joey twitched his lips and said, “Your Majesty.”

Xiao Ming looked at Joey and reached back.Qu Fu immediately handed over a booklet.

“There were two exams yesterday, one in civil and one in martial arts. The paper you handed in in the morning was blank, and you skipped the riding and shooting assessment in the afternoon. So… it’s equivalent to all your assessments yesterday being below Ding level.” Xiao Ming flipped through the booklet in his hand, with sharp eyes, and glanced at Joey, “You escaped yesterday’s exam just to go to the Zhuqing Academy to fight with Zhang Wujing?”

Joey: “No…”

Xiao Ming: “No? Then tell me, why did you skip this exam? Everyone in Taixue took part and almost all got first-class results, but you didn’t take part. What? Do you dislike the test questions that I gave myself?”

Joey: “No…it’s not that ordinary people don’t want to take the exam, it’s…”

Xiao Ming was already in a bad mood, but it got even worse after seeing Joey’s attitude. His voice became more and more serious, “Or are you running away from this exam just to fight Zhang Wujing?”

“The common people don’t know Zhang Wujing, why do you want to skip this exam just to fight with him?” Joey felt that what Xiao Ming said was really nonsense, “It was clearly Zhang Wujing who hurt me, why does Your Majesty always defend a murderer?”

Seeing that Joey dared to challenge him, Xiao Ming was furious and threw the book in his hand at Joey’s face, “Who do you really think you are?!”

Joey couldn’t avoid it for a moment, so Lou Ling stepped forward and blocked the booklet.

“Emperor!” Wei Shanlian didn’t expect Xiao Ming to be so angry today. She was afraid that Xiao Ming would really attack Joey, “That’s Yun Lan’s child! What are you doing?!”

Xiao Ming: “What child? It’s just a slave born by a cheap servant. Qiao Yunlan said it casually. Do you think he is really Qiao Yunlan’s child? You didn’t even ask Qiao Yunlan if she could give birth to it?!”

Wei Shanlian couldn’t believe what she heard. She pointed at Xiao Ming and said angrily: “Xiao Ming! Do you really think you got this position all by yourself?! Without Yun Lan, do you think…”

Wei Shanlian was so angry that she couldn’t even say another sentence.

Joey was stunned and suddenly realized that he had followed Lou Ling to the capital this time. Except for Lou Ling, he didn’t know or understand anyone else. The Queen Mother and the Emperor would appear in Zhuoqing Courtyard, and he could stand here now all because of Qiao Yunlan.

If there is no Qiao Yunlan, if these people don’t recognize him as Qiao Yunlan’s child, then he is nothing.

But now Qiao Yunlan is far away in Jiangzhou, and Joey is alone in the capital. There is no one behind him to help him. Even if the emperor and others kill him, it will take at least seven or eight days for the news to reach Jiangzhou.By the time Qiao Yunlan finds out, so what, the person is already dead.What’s more, Qiao Yunlan’s feelings for him are not that deep at all, so he…

After thinking everything through, Joey’s legs were so weak that he could hardly stand. He might die here.

Noticing something was wrong with Joey, Lou Ling frowned and reached out to support Joey, “Does the wound hurt?”

Joey shook his head and pushed Lou Ling away, “I’m fine.”

Lou Ling looked at Joey’s obviously wrong state, frowned, turned to look at Xiao Ming, and took the initiative to say: “Your Majesty, you also know that Joey used to have a low status. He has never learned to read or write, and he has never learned to ride and shoot. Even if he takes the exam, what will happen?”

When Joey heard Lou Ling’s words, his eyes widened in disbelief, and then he turned his head blankly. He didn’t expect that Lou Ling would actually speak for him?

Xiao Ming’s eyes slowly turned to the person next to Joey, and he shouted expressionlessly: “Lou Ling.”

Lou Ling bent down and knelt down, “Your Majesty, Joey is my study companion. He did not take this exam seriously. The main problem lies with me. I am willing to bear all responsibilities.”

Xiao Ming looked at the kneeling Lou Ling and said coldly: “Prince Rong Hua is truly worthy of being the little overlord of the capital, protecting his shortcomings like this.”

Lou Ling turned a deaf ear and said to herself: “Joey is the person I brought back from Jiangzhou, and he is also the companion chosen by my mother for me. If the emperor does not think he is a member of the Qiao family, then he is a member of the Prince’s Palace. If he does something wrong, I will naturally be jointly and severally responsible.”

Xiao Ming originally came here to vent his anger on Joey, but now he was protected by Lou Ling. He was extremely angry, but he couldn’t get angry with Lou Ling. In the end, he could only wave his sleeves and leave Quanqing Hall angrily.

Wei Shanlian was the only one left in the palace.

Wei Shanlian didn’t expect that things would develop to this point. She also didn’t expect that Zhang Qianying was so capable and could really coax Xiao Ming to do this.

Looking at the pale Joey, Wei Shanlian didn’t know why, but she suddenly remembered Qiao Yunlan after she was hit and injured more than ten years ago. She opened her mouth, as if she wanted to say something.

But before Wei Shanlian could say anything, Lou Ling spoke first.He stood up, bowed and saluted Wei Shanlian, and then said, “Thank you, Queen Mother, for taking care of Joey yesterday. I will take him back to the palace today.”

Wei Shanlian wanted to keep someone, but looking at Joey’s bad state and remembering Xiao Ming’s appearance just now, she still didn’t say anything and just let the two of them leave Quanqing Palace.

—

The news that Lou Ling brought Joey back to the palace naturally did not escape Xiao Feng’s ears.

Xiao Feng came to Baixiang Courtyard and walked into the back room. When he saw Lou Ling guarding Joey’s bedside, he obviously paused for a long time.

“You seem to like this person very much?” Xiao Feng stood not far away, his voice was neither loud nor quiet, just enough for Lou Ling to hear.

Lou Ling heard Xiao Feng’s voice and turned around, “Father.”

Xiao Feng: “Come and talk, he is still resting.”

Lou Ling came over.

The two father and son sat together in a pavilion in Baixiang Courtyard.

Xiao Feng looked at Lou Ling opposite him and spoke first: “I heard from your mother and concubine that this is the companion reading you chose yourself?”

Lou Ling: “Yes.”

Xiao Feng seemed to have a headache, “There are so many people in Jiangzhou, and the Qin family is not the only one with children similar to yours. Why did you choose him?” It didn’t matter if it was someone else, but why did it happen to be the child chosen by Qiao Yunlan.

Lou Ling: “He is very interesting. I like him.”

Xiao Feng paused. He stayed there for a long time, and it took a long time before he found his voice.Xiao Feng’s voice trembled a little as he spoke, and he tentatively asked, “Lou Ling, do you know what you are talking about?”

Lou Ling heard the trembling in Xiao Feng’s voice. He felt a little baffled. He raised his eyes and said calmly: “I said I like his character very much. Is there any problem?”

“…”

Xiao Feng breathed a sigh of relief and spoke much more naturally, “Oh, I just like his character!”

Lou Ling looked at Xiao Feng who seemed relieved, and instantly understood what Xiao Feng had just thought, “No matter how rebellious I am, I still won’t fall in love with a man.”

Xiao Feng, who was seen, clenched one hand into a fist, put it to his lips, coughed a few times, and whispered: “Who can say for sure?”

Lou Ling didn’t want to say this, so he simply asked directly: “What did you want to say when you asked me to come over?”

Xiao Feng: “Your birthday is one month away. Your mother-in-law said she would come back to celebrate your birthday.”

Lou Ling: “Is the mother-in-law coming back? Didn’t she have a lot of fun in Jiangzhou? Why does she want to come back all of a sudden?”

Xiao Feng: “In which year did Ahli not spend your birthday with you? Of course she will come back this year. She will go back to Jiangzhou after spending your birthday with you.”

Lou Ling: “My mother is not in good health, so there is no need to go back and forth so much trouble.”

Xiao Feng: “Anyway, Ah Li passed the news to me, which means that she will definitely come back this year. By the way, after celebrating your eleventh birthday this year, I will give you everything I have. I want to go out with your mother and concubine.”

Lou Ling: “I’m only eleven.”

Xiao Feng: “What’s wrong with Eleven? Your father and I have learned how to hide and survive in the palace since we were five years old. You are already Eleven, so you should know some real skills.”

Hearing Xiao Feng take the initiative to mention this matter, Lou Ling was silent for a while, and then asked: “Why did Xiao Ming ascend the throne in the first place? Didn’t my father ever think about it…”

Xiao Feng didn’t want to talk about these things in detail. He waved his hand and said: “Why are you talking about this all of a sudden? Your father, I am not the material to be the emperor at all. I can just be an idle prince. If I really become the emperor, the whole Dayong thing will be over.If you want me to handle it, go to court every day and approve memorials, I can’t do it.Besides, being an emperor doesn’t give you the freedom of an idle prince. I only like your mother and concubine.If I really want to fight for the throne, how can I only have your mother and concubine?”

Lou Ling was silent.

Xiao Feng didn’t want to talk too much about the past with Lou Ling, so he stood up and prepared to leave.But before leaving, he seemed to have thought of something again. Before leaving, he looked back at Lou Ling, who was silent, and suddenly said, “Just do whatever you want. Your father, princess, mother and concubine will protect you, even if you want to do something earth-shaking.”

Lou Ling looked up.

Xiao Feng had already turned back, “Your father and your mother don’t have any particularly lofty ambitions. They just want to live a normal life. But we will not ask you to be like us. No matter what you want to do, your father and mother will support you.”

As soon as he finished speaking, a red token was thrown over.

Lou Ling caught it and looked down. It was the dispatch token from Long Mosquito Pavilion.

“I know your mother has already given you the butterfly talisman of Yuan Lifang and the key to the Lou family’s warehouse. However, your father and I have been pretty good at protecting ourselves over the years. Take it and do what you want.”

After saying this, Xiao Feng left, leaving Lou Ling standing in the pavilion alone, looking at the token in his hand and remaining silent for a long time.
