Rebirth: Traveling To Ancient Times As A Companion Reading Chapter 40

protect shortcomings

Everyone looked at Joey.

After seeing clearly who Jiang Xu was referring to, Xiao Ming’s originally good mood suddenly fell to the bottom. His expression instantly dimmed, and he said indifferently: “He is the companion of Crown Prince Rong Hua. You have to go to Crown Prince Rong Hua to find out.”

“Prince Lin?” Jiang Wanyu asked in surprise: “How come Yunlan’s child can be the companion of Prince Lin?”

Wei Shanlian raised her eyes and said, “Princess Lin’s mother’s family belongs to the Lou family. The Lou family is in Jiangzhou, and Yun Lan is the wife of the governor of Jiangzhou. Isn’t it normal for the children of the two families to know each other?”

Jiang Wanyu laughed twice, stroked his beard, and said, “I thought Yun Lan still remembered the past.”

Wei Shanlian did not respond to this sentence.

Although Xiao Ming didn’t know much about the past affairs of Qiao Yunlan and Jiang Wanyu, both of them had contributed a lot to the consolidation of his throne, so he thought it was very appropriate to say: “Yun Lan is coming back from Jiangzhou soon. If you want to reconnect with old friends, you might as well wait until she comes back.”

As soon as these words came out, everyone was silent for a while.

Wei Shanlian ignored Xiao Ming.

When Jiang Wanyu heard Xiao Ming’s words, his face froze. He did not respond to the words, but directly changed the topic back to Jiang Mi and Joey.

“Since that is Prince Rong Hua’s study companion, you should not get involved.” Jiang Wanyu said, “You just came back from Northern Xinjiang, so you don’t know many people. You will get familiar with it if you go out more and get along with peers. Enroll first, and then find a study companion later.”

Jiang Xu obviously didn’t think much about it, but he still said stubbornly: “But I just want him to be my companion.”

“?!”

Hearing these inexplicably familiar words, Joey felt very frightened. Am I someone particularly attractive?Why do you want me to be your companion reader?

Joey looked at this and that, his heart pounding. Since he had a true understanding of the feudal society of this world, he clearly understood that people who grew up in the top class of this society, even if they were only teenagers, were much more mature mentally than he imagined.

Not to mention that Joey had never seen these people before. If he left Lou Ling’s side, who knew whether the place he went to would be a wolf’s den or a tiger’s den.

When Joey was hesitating whether he could directly refuse this situation, a hand suddenly put his shoulder from behind.

Then there was a familiar voice.

“Joey is my reading companion and there’s no way he’s going to leave me.”

Joey turned around in surprise, and Lou Ling had already arrived behind him at some point.

Sensing Joey’s gaze, Lou Ling turned her head slightly.

The two of them met each other’s eyes.

Looking at Lou Ling’s peach blossom eyes as calm as water, Joey thought for a moment, then hesitated for less than half a second before choosing to stand behind Lou Ling.

“Prince Ronghua.”

The palace maids and eunuchs standing behind all knew the identity of the visitor, and they all leaned forward and saluted Lou Ling.

Jiang Xu turned to look at the figure that suddenly appeared and asked, “Are you Prince Rong Hua?”

Lou Ling said nothing.

Seeing that the visitor was Lou Ling, Xiao Ming tried to smooth things over, “It’s just a companion reading, Rong Hua, why do you have to argue with Jiang Xu. If you want, I can naturally choose a few for you among the sons of hundreds of officials. Jiang Xu just came back from Northern Xinjiang, and maybe he will get along with Joey, and the relationship between them will definitely be better than that between you and him. Rong Hua, why don’t you…”

“Your Majesty.” Lou Ling interrupted Xiao Ming directly, regardless of the latter’s sudden change of expression due to his attitude, “Before you say these words, why don’t you mention Joey’s previous injury by Zhang Wujing?”

Xiao Ming, who wanted to expose the matter, froze for a moment, and his expression began to fade, “What do you think? What is Joey’s identity, and what is Zhang Wujing’s identity. If the Zhang family’s only son, the concubine’s only biological brother, is punished just because he is the son of a domestic slave, and if the concubine’s body suffers from any problems because of this, do you think he can shoulder this responsibility?”

Lou Ling: “So what your Majesty means is that if Zhang Wujing did something harmful to others while studying in Taipei, let’s just let it go?”

Xiao Ming: “If Joey hadn’t skipped the exam and went to the Zhuoqing Academy to fight with Zhang Wujing, how could he have been injured? In the end, he was the one to blame.”

“Fight?” Lou Ling met Xiao Ming’s eyes and tilted his head, as if he was a little confused, “But I remember that it was Zhang Wujing who killed Joey unilaterally, right? If Joey hadn’t been lucky, he would have died in Taixue.”

Xiao Ming was obviously very annoyed that Lou Ling kept insisting on this matter. He said angrily: “Then what do you want? Joey is injured, the medicine that I should reward and the doctor that should be sent have been sent to Prince Lin’s Mansion. Aren’t they fine in the end? Lou Ling, are you really going to talk to me like this just because of a lowly companion?!”

Lou Ling: “Joy’s status is not lowly. Zhang Wujing is the only son of the Zhang family, so how can Joey not be the only son of the Qin family? Now Joey is not only the only son of the governor’s wife of Jiangzhou, he is also my companion, and Prince Lin’s Palace is on Joey’s side. If Your Majesty does not bring the murderer Zhang Wujing to justice, I am afraid that the public will no longer believe in Your Majesty.”

After hearing what Lou Ling said, Joey raised the seriousness of the matter to a higher level with just a few words. He turned his head in surprise. This was the first time since he came to the capital that he heard someone dare to be so tough on the emperor to protect him.

“You!!!” Xiao Ming was obviously angry at what Lou Ling said. He pointed at Lou Ling, “I thought you were a good person, but you ended up getting into this trouble with me because of a companion?! Does your father know what you are doing now?!”

Lou Ling: “I am talking to your majesty about Zhang Wujing’s hurtful things. Why should your majesty involve my father? You know how Zhang Wujing usually does many evil things among the people, but because of your partiality and protection, Zhang Wujing can still brag about it outside. I don’t believe you don’t know how the people talk about your behavior. You don’t care. Don’t those folk rumors not exist?”

Xiao Ming glared at Lou Ling angrily, and stretched out his hand to attack Lou Ling, but after raising his hand for a while, he finally didn’t dare to do it.

In anger, Xiao Ming turned around and wanted to settle the score with the culprit. It was all because of Joey. It was all because of him that things became like this. He wanted to kill Joey. As long as he killed Joey, everything would return to normal.

“You…” Xiao Ming pointed at Joey and said angrily: “It’s all because of you! Come on!”

“Emperor!” Wei Shanlian shouted: “Why do you have to do this?!”

King Cheng, who knew he shouldn’t get involved at this time, took Xiao Chen and took a few steps back to prevent the war between them from spreading to their grandfather and grandson.

The Jiang family father and son, who didn’t know why, were even more confused and couldn’t say a word at all.

Lou Ling stood in front of Joey and met Xiao Ming’s eyes without any fear, “If your Majesty’s decision is right, why worry about others mentioning it.”

Xiao Ming laughed angrily, “Lou Ling, do you think a companion is more important than the lives of a noble concubine and a prince?”

“Concubine Zhang is pregnant?” Lou Ling didn’t expect it.

Xiao Ming thought Lou Ling would relent because of this, he was about to say something.

But the next moment, Lou Ling made no secret, “When did the prince actually get linked to a murderer? Does your majesty have to let go every time Zhang Guifei mentions the prince in her belly? Then where does your majesty place Dayong’s laws? Where does your majesty place the love of the people of Dayong for your majesty?”

Lou Ling originally didn’t want to quarrel with Xiao Ming to this point, but she couldn’t bear the fact that Xiao Ming was so stupid that he really wanted to let Zhang Wujing and the Zhang family go.

Xiao Ming was extremely angry and pointed at Lou Ling, unable to speak clearly: “You…you…”

Lou Ling looked at Xiao Ming and calmly said the last sentence, “Let’s not talk about Mrs. Qiao for the moment. I think my father and mother don’t want to see your Majesty’s attitude of being so biased, right?”

“…”

Xiao Ming was so angry that he finally had no intention of caring about who was Joey’s reading companion.

Joey finally stayed with Lou Ling.

Although Jiang Xu was dissatisfied when he finally left, he also knew that he couldn’t compete with Lou Ling at this time.With one last glance at Joey who was hiding behind Lou Ling, he followed Jiang Wanyu and left Taixue.

King Cheng and Xiao Chen didn’t dare to say a word, and left quickly after them.

Before Wei Shanlian left, she was different from the others. She had a smile on her face, touched Joey’s head, and looked at Lou Ling, “Your relationship is much better than the Ai family expected.”

Lou Ling didn’t have much contact with Wei Shanlian, so he didn’t plan to talk too much to Wei Shanlian. He pulled Joey to leave, “We have riding and archery lessons in the afternoon, so we’ll go change clothes and get ready. I won’t disturb you, Queen Mother.”

Wei Shanlian was left standing there watching the two people leave.

Aunt Ming, who was beside Wei Shanlian, also watched Lou Ling and Joey’s leaving figures, and said, “I have been in the palace for so long, and this is the first time I have seen Crown Prince Rong Hua treat His Majesty so hard, and it was for Young Master Qiao.”

Wei Shanlian looked forward and said calmly: “It’s a good thing that Lou Ling will resist. King Lin has a soft temper. As long as it doesn’t involve his wife and children, he will never pay too much attention to it. The emperor is so aggressive in order to protect Concubine Zhang and the Zhang family. If it were not for Yun Lan, the Ai family would not tolerate it.”

Aunt Ming: “Speaking of this, doesn’t the Queen Mother think it’s strange that Concubine Zhang has not received any good news for more than ten years, but she suddenly became pregnant at such a critical time?”

“Even if the Ai family knows that there is something fishy about this matter, so what? Where is the emperor?” Wei Shanlian sneered, “The Ai family thought that the emperor was a clear-headed man, but it turned out that he was a dull head. He was still so emotional. He wanted to do anything, but in the end he couldn’t do anything.Okay.The Ai family thought that after the emperor got rid of the Fang family, he should know how big a threat the Zhang family is in the court. Even if he cares about his friendship with Concubine Zhang, he shouldn’t be so ignorant that he doesn’t distinguish between right and wrong. But what’s the result?”

Aunt Ming lowered her head, not daring to respond to these words.

“But…” Wei Shanlian became angrier as she thought about it more and more. Her thoughts inexplicably began to drift to the past. She was thoughtful, as if she was thinking about something, “If I had known that the emperor had always been like this… if Prince Lin succeeded to the throne…” After thinking about it, she seemed to understand something. She looked at the direction where Lou Ling and Joey left, and murmured: “The child Lou Ling and his father’s temperament… are two extremes.”

Aunt Ming didn’t know why Wei Shanlian said this, but she still responded thoughtfully, “Prince Lin and Princess Lin are as affectionate as ever. They only have one child, Crown Prince Rong Hua, so naturally they love her more.”

Wei Shanlian shook her head, knowing that Grandma Ming had misunderstood her meaning.However, she obviously didn’t want to explain anything more, and just said: “Since the child looks pretty good, the Ai family won’t stay here for a long time. The Ai family is tired, let’s go.”

“Yes.”

Aunt Ming stretched out her hand and helped Wei Shanlian leave Taixue.
