Rebirth: Traveling To Ancient Times As A Companion Reading Chapter 43

shocked

Qilu Lake is not far from the capital, only two days’ journey.

Joey and Lou Ling lived in the same tent, and the location was relatively remote.So when Joey wanted to find someone, he couldn’t tell which one among so many identical tents was where the third prince Xiao Qi lived.

Covering his head with a headache, Joey was heartbroken and walked back the way he came from, pulling out Lou Ling, who was still reading and drinking tea in the tent.

“What do you want to do?” Lou Ling followed Joey and asked, “You’ve been working hard for two days, aren’t you going to rest?”

Joey pulled Lou Ling forward, “I thought I saw Fang Qingzhou just now. Can you take me to find the third prince?”

Lou Ling helplessly pointed to the yellow colors on the tops of several tents that were obviously different from the others, and said, “Those are the prince’s tents. You can count them in order and you will know where he is.”

“Oh.” Only then did Joey see the yellow color that he hadn’t noticed. He immediately put down Lou Ling’s hand, turned away and refused to recognize anyone. He left Lou Ling where he was and walked towards Xiao Qi’s tent.

Before leaving, Joey didn’t forget to turn around and say to Lou Ling, “Thank you.”

“By the way.” Joey almost forgot to ask before leaving, “How does the pastry I made two days ago taste?”

“…” Lou Ling thought of the pastry he was forced to finish and was silent for a long time without answering.

Joey: “Isn’t it delicious? Isn’t it? Haven’t you finished eating it? It should taste good.”

“…” Lou Ling: “It’s quite delicious.”

Joey was relieved, “That’s good. I’ll bring some to Fang Qingzhou to try.”

“…”

Lou Ling looked at Joey’s leaving figure and didn’t shout to stop, nor did he stop him from giving away those pastries.

When Joey found Fang Qingzhou, the latter was doing something under a tree wearing a dusty eunuch costume.

“What are you doing?” Joey walked up behind Fang Qingzhou, reached out and patted his shoulder, and asked, “Didn’t you come with the third prince? Why are you squatting here?”

When Fang Qingzhou heard the noise, he turned around and saw that it was Joey. He twitched the corners of his mouth perfunctorily and replied, “It’s nothing.”

Joey clearly noticed something was wrong with Fang Qingzhou’s mood. He squatted down and squatted side by side with Fang Qingzhou, “What’s wrong with you? Are you in a bad mood?”

Fang Qingzhou casually broke the branch in his hand and threw it away. He said calmly: “It’s okay. I’m just tired from walking. Come here and rest for a while.”

Only those with status can ride in a carriage or ride a horse. Fang Qingzhou, who had long been demoted to a commoner, was able to sneak in with Xiao Qi. His status meant that he could not appear openly in front of everyone.

Joey clearly understood this fact from Lou Ling, so he didn’t ask any more questions, but directly took out a piece of white cloth from his arms.

Fang Qingzhou looked at Joey’s movements and seemed a little confused about what he was doing. He frowned slightly and asked, “What is this?”

“Dang, dang, dang!” Joey opened the white cloth and showed his work to Fang Qingzhou, “Cloud cake and pineapple cake!”

Fang Qingzhou looked at the pastries and then at Joey, as if he didn’t understand why Joey was so excited. These were just a few pastries.

“Don’t underestimate it.” Joey’s tone was very proud, “I made this myself! I brought a few pieces here for you to try.”

“Did you make it yourself?” Fang Qingzhou’s tone was a little hard to explain. He obviously hadn’t forgotten the last time Joey almost burned down the kitchen.

Joey obviously saw the disbelief in Fang Qingzhou’s eyes and said dissatisfied: “Hey! Don’t look down on people so much, okay? It was just an accident that time! It was just an accident, do you understand?”

Fang Qingzhou: “Haha… accident…” That was indeed an accident.

“So perfunctory.” Although he was not satisfied with Fang Qingzhou’s attitude, Joey still didn’t say anything about this matter. Instead, he urged Fang Qingzhou to try the pastries he made by himself. “Have a try. I made this completely myself. Even Minghuan and Minghua wanted to help me, but I didn’t let them do it. This is full of my love for you!”

“…” Fang Qingzhou listened to Joey’s exaggerated words that were full of pride and expectation, then looked at the seemingly normal and perfect yellow pastry in his hand. He hesitated, then tentatively stretched out his hand and pinched a piece of pastry.

“Hurry up.” Joey touched Fang Qingzhou’s shoulder, looking forward to it.

Fang Qingzhou held the pastry, slowly put it into his mouth, and took a small sip.

Fang Qingzhou froze.

When Joey saw Fang Qingzhou motionless, he thought Fang Qingzhou was so amazed by the taste of the cake that he was speechless. He was smiling and was about to praise his craftsmanship.

But before Joey could say anything, a familiar and annoying rough voice came from behind.

“Yo! What are you doing here?”

Joey turned around, and sure enough, it was Jiang Xu again.

Today, Jiang Xu is not wearing the plain robes he usually wears in Imperial College. Instead, he is wearing a silver armor, armor on his head, and a long sword in his hand. He seems to have just come out of the army.

Joey didn’t want to talk to Jiang Xu. He felt that this person was simply incomprehensible, but he only met him once and insisted on pestering him to be his companion. He was even more shameless than Lou Ling at the time.

“You’re ignoring me.” Jiang Xu wasn’t angry at Joey’s attitude, but squatted down together.

When Jiang Mi got closer, he realized that there was someone else beside Joey. When he saw Fang Qingzhou, he was surprised and said, “Ayi, do you have friends?”

“I’ve told you several times, don’t call me Ayi, I’m not familiar with you at all!” Hearing Jiang Xu’s disgusting name that made his skin crawl, Joey was almost driven crazy by this man, “Can you please give me some face? I told you, I won’t be your companion. Are you deaf or stupid? You just can’t understand human words, right?!”

Jiang Xu looked innocent, spread his hands and said, “But we all call people like this in Northern Xinjiang, and I’m used to it. Ayi, you’ll get used to it if you listen to it a few more times. Don’t be angry.”

Joey closed his eyes and moved towards Fang Qingzhou unbearably, not wanting to talk to this man anymore.

After Fang Qingzhou finally swallowed the pastry, he asked, “Who are you?”

Jiang Xu was very familiar with him. He patted his chest and introduced, “I am Joey’s friend. My name is Jiang Mi. What is your name? Are you also Joey’s friend?”

“Hey!” Joey seemed to have heard a joke, “You have the ability to say that in front of Lou Ling.”

In just a few days, I don’t know how many times I’ve been beaten, but this person still doesn’t have a long memory.

However, Fang Qingzhou seemed to have heard some news and asked with certainty: “Are you the prince of the Zhenbei Hou Mansion?”

Jiang Xu: “Do you know me?”

Jiang Xu went to Taixue as soon as he returned to Beijing. He had never met Fang Qingzhou, and he was surprised to hear that Fang Qingzhou actually knew him.

Fang Qingzhou smiled: “I just heard about it.”

Jiang Xu nodded without thinking much. He turned his attention to the pastries in Joey and Fang Qingzhou’s hands and asked, “What are you eating?”

“What are you looking at?” Joey was not polite at all, “This thing is none of your business!”

“It’s not my share!” Jiang Xu reached out and grabbed a piece from Joey’s hand while Joey wasn’t paying attention, “We are classmates, you can’t miss my share.”

“Hey!” Joey was caught off guard and was really snatched away by Jiang Mi.

Jiang Xu had quick hands and eyes. He took it and stuffed it into his mouth. His mouth was bulging and he said, “Why don’t you let me eat…”

“Ugh!” Before he could finish his words, Jiang Xu spat out the cake that he had not finished chewing. “What is this?! Why does it taste so bad!”

Joey already disliked Jiang Xu’s behavior of asking for food without asking, and now he was even more fed up, “It’s not delicious and I didn’t let you eat it! Get out!”

It’s like being sick.

Fang Qingzhou casually handed the handkerchief he had just prepared to wrap pastries to Jiang Xu and said, “Wipe it.”

“Oh.” Jiang Xu didn’t think much, took it and started using it, “Thank you.”

Joey didn’t want to say anything, so he looked at Fang Qingzhou aside and said, “You still have a good temper. Neither you nor Lou Ling said anything, but he found it unpalatable. It was really… not delicious and I didn’t let him touch it! It was a waste of the pastries I spent two hours making.”

Fang Qingzhou: “It’s okay. Everyone has his own taste. Maybe he is used to the food in Northern Xinjiang, but he just doesn’t adapt to the food in the capital.”

“Forget it! Leave him alone.” Joey pulled Fang Qingzhou up and wanted to take him to another place to avoid Jiang Mi.

But when he turned around, Joey saw Lou Ling and Xiao Qi standing not far away, watching them.

Fang Qingzhou followed Joey’s force and turned around, and also saw Xiao Qi.

The distance between the few people was not too far, and Fang Qingzhou could just see Xiao Qi’s expression clearly, which seemed to be a little bad.

Fang Qingzhou had just had a big quarrel with Xiao Qi. Even if he knew that Xiao Qi was in a bad mood, he didn’t want to take care of it.Xiao Qi was angry, wouldn’t he be angry?If it weren’t for…

Fang Qingzhou’s mood improved a little. He didn’t want to think about those unpleasant things, so he simply turned to Joey and said, “I have something else to do, so I’ll leave first.”

After saying that, Fang Qingzhou turned around and walked in the other direction, and Joey didn’t have time to call him out.

Then Xiao Qi followed closely, and Joey watched helplessly as the two figures disappeared from his eyes one after another.

“They…” Joey stood there in confusion, pointing at the two people leaving in confusion, trying to say something.

But before he could finish speaking, Lou Ling came over.

After regaining his composure, Jiang Xu also stood up and looked face to face with the two of them.

Lou Ling pulled Joey to her side with one hand, and looked at Jiang Xu with very indifferent eyes, “As a royal guard, the Prince of Zhenbei is not with His Majesty to protect the safety of His Majesty and the noble concubine. Why does he leave his job privately and come here?”

Perhaps Zhang Wujing’s death a few days ago had stimulated the Zhang family. This time, Xiao Ming actually brought the pregnant Zhang Qianying directly to the winter hunting, and he even dared to let Jiang Xu join the Imperial Guard Army.

But Jiang Mi is only twelve.

Lou Ling only found Xiao Ming’s behavior funny. Could it be that Xiao Ming really thought that Jiang Wanyu would be willing to let Jiang Xu do these things in his teens?He also asked Jiang Xu to serve as a guard in front of him, wasn’t he just trying to take advantage of Jiang Wanyu?

But how could Jiang Wanyu compromise with him and hand over military power so easily?

Lou Ling looked at the armor on Jiang Mi’s body across from him with an expressionless face, and felt it was ironic, Xiao Ming, it’s really…

Jiang Xu didn’t know what Lou Ling was thinking when she looked at him. He only noticed Joey who was clinging to Lou Ling’s side. He frowned and said, “I don’t understand. I’m obviously so good to you. Why are you willing to be Lou Ling’s reading companion but not willing to say a word to me?”

Joey resisted the urge to roll his eyes and said speechlessly: “Who are you? I’ve only known you for a few days. Don’t act like I know you very well?”

Jiang Xu: “In terms of identity, status, and ability, in what way am I inferior to him, Lou Ling? Can’t you be my companion? Anyway, I don’t understand the things they learn. Don’t you want to learn too? Isn’t it good for the two of us to go together? Besides, my riding and shooting is definitely better than his, and I can teach you too.”

Speaking of this, Joey was even more speechless.He had asked Jiang Xu why he had to be his companion after meeting him only once. The answer Jiang Xu gave was that he had watched the students in Kai Tak Academy attend class, and he felt that Joey was in good condition during class. If Joey was his companion, the two would get along very well. Even if his father forced him to study, he would have someone to accompany him to laze around, so he would not be too tired at all.

When Joey first heard this, he was speechless, wasn’t he?Brother, who told you that I don’t want to learn anymore? I don’t know how to do it. It’s not that I don’t want to learn. These are two completely different things, okay?

But Jiang Xu was not only straight-looking, but also straight-minded. He felt that Joey was being imprisoned by Lou Ling and wouldn’t let him go. No matter how many times Joey explained it, he didn’t believe it.

Later, even though he was beaten several times by Lou Ling, Jiang Xu still refused to give up and wanted to instigate Joey to come to his side.

Joey took a deep breath and said, “No… I don’t understand. Am I the only one in the Imperial Academy who is poor at studying and doesn’t want to learn in the entire capital? Why do you have to hold on to me?”

“Because you are good-looking.” Jiang Xu thought Joey was really asking him why, so he answered him seriously, “No one else is as good-looking as you.”

Joey couldn’t stand it anymore and shouted: “Being good-looking is useless!”

“It works.” Jiang Xu replied seriously: “My sister likes good-looking people. If our relationship gets along well, maybe I can be your uncle.”

“…”

Joey was really speechless.

Lou Ling on the side frowned more and more as she listened, and glanced at Joey.

“I don’t even know your sister.” Joey didn’t want to say it anymore. He expressed the fact that Jiang Xu had been deliberately ignoring with an expressionless face.

Jiang Xu: “Although you don’t know her yet, you will definitely know her after this winter hunting. My sister is very well-behaved, cute and beautiful, and you will definitely like my sister too.”

“…”

Joey was tired. He didn’t want to talk anymore. He just felt that there was something wrong with Jiang Xu’s brain in front of him. He was only eleven, and it was too damn outrageous to talk about getting married or liking him.

“Let’s go…”

Joey turned around and pulled Lou Ling to leave, but Lou Ling didn’t move at all.

Joey was surprised and raised his head. Just as he was about to say something, Lou Ling’s head popped down.

Suddenly he felt a cold and soft touch on his cheek. Joey looked at Lou Ling’s face close at hand. After realizing what was touching his face, his eyes widened suddenly. He couldn’t believe it. What the hell is that thing?Is he hallucinating?

At this touch, not only Joey was stunned on the spot, but Jiang Xu, who was still wanting to speak, was so shocked that he shut his mouth.

The kiss on the cheek didn’t last long. Lou Ling stood up and looked at Jiang Xu opposite, “Do you see clearly? Joey is mine, get out of here!”

Perhaps he was too shocked. As soon as Lou Ling said these words, Jiang Xu turned around and left without saying a word.
