Traveling through the ancient times

"You said that the second prince went to the academy to pick up Miss Nian and Miss Jiang to go to Zuiyun Tower?" Lu Mingqian listened to the news brought by Tianqing.

"Yes, Your Highness, the two young ladies left the academy and got directly into the second prince's carriage. We followed them all the way to Zuiyun Tower. Her Royal Highness the Princess was also there." Tianqing reported the group's itinerary.

"Are they going to meet someone?"

"No, the Second Prince has booked a private room in Zuiyun Tower. Only the Second Prince, the Princess, and two young ladies are inside."

"I understand. You can go down." After sending Tian Qing away, Lu Mingqian sat at the desk and thought hard.

There are only four of them? One more of me wouldn't be too much!

Lu Mingqian, a man of action, immediately stood up and rushed to Zuiyun Tower.

Arriving at the private room in Zuiyun Tower where Chu Nian Hua was, Lu Mingqian listened to the laughter inside through the door, as if old friends were gathering here for many years.

Button button...

"Come in." Hearing the knock on the door, Lu Mingcheng thought it was the waiter serving the dishes, so he let him in without thinking too much.

"Second brother, you are in a good mood!" Lu Mingqian heard the voice and pushed the door open and walked in.

? …? ? …

The people at the dinner table looked at each other. This voice...why does it sound familiar?

"Third brother, are you eating here too?" Lu Mingcheng was the first to react and said to Lu Mingqian who walked in.

Lu Jinse called him "Third Brother", and Nianchuhua and Jiang Ruixue also quickly stood up and saluted Lu Mingqian.

Lu Mingqian nodded to indicate that they didn't need to be polite, and replied to Lu Mingcheng, "I heard that my second brother and Jinse were also having dinner here, so I came over to say hello. I didn't expect Miss Nian and Miss Jiang to be here too."

"Yes, third brother, my brother and I are here to entertain sisters Ruixue and Chuhua. Would you like to join us?" Lu Jinse smiled and warmly invited Lu Mingqian to have dinner together.

"Okay, then I'll respectfully obey your command." Lu Mingqian said, and sat down on an empty stool.

Huh? You won't even try to refuse?

The confused trio just stared at Lu Mingqian blankly.

"Why are you all standing? Sit down!" Lu Mingqian said, taking the initiative.

"Yes, everyone, please sit down."

Lu Mingcheng greeted the two people and shouted to the outside of the door, "Waiter, bring in another set of bowls and chopsticks."

The second brother quickly brought a new set of bowls and chopsticks and placed them in front of Lu Mingqian. "Dear gentlemen and ladies, please enjoy your meal."

After saying this, the second brother went out, closed the door, and waited quietly outside.

The room was silent for a moment, and everyone was quietly picking up food and eating. It was no longer as lively as before.

Lu Mingqian was a little embarrassed for a moment. Wasn't it quite lively before? Why did everyone stop talking after he came?

Well~ Now that I'm here, I might as well eat this meal.

Thinking of this, Lu Mingqian pretended to be relaxed and started to eat.

The chatterbox Lu Jinse couldn't stand this atmosphere, "Why isn't anyone talking?"

"Don't talk while eating and don't talk while sleeping!" Lu Mingcheng glanced at Lu Jinse and said

Lu Jinse pursed her lips. They were still talking and laughing just now, but now they are silent even when eating or sleeping.

Lu Jinse looked at Jiang Ruixue and Nian Chuhua and saw that they were both eating and had no intention of talking.

Turning to Lu Mingqian, he asked, "Third brother, how did you know we were here?"

"I was doing some work here. Xingyi told me that when he saw you guys come in, he thought about how he hadn't had dinner with his second brother for a long time, so he came over. But he didn't know that his second brother was entertaining guests. I was so sorry for disturbing you." Lu Mingqian said this without blushing or feeling embarrassed at all.

The three confused people rolled their eyes in their hearts. You know you are being presumptuous, but why don’t you leave? You have no sense at all…

"Oh, that's a coincidence." The innocent Lu Jinse

"Brother, is that Zuiyun Peach Blossom Wine? Can you give me a glass too?" Lu Mingqian said while looking at the wine pot in front of Lu Mingcheng.

"Oh, yes. Come, second brother will fill it up for you." Lu Mingcheng filled the glass in front of Lu Mingqian. The two clinked their glasses and drank it all in one gulp.

Just as Lu Mingcheng was about to pour more wine, he heard Lu Mingqian say, "Second brother is in good health, so it's better not to drink too much. I'll help you drink this wine."

After Lu Mingqian finished speaking, he took the wine jug from Lu Mingcheng and started drinking...

Lu Mingcheng's heart was bleeding. This wine was so valuable. Although the money was not earned by him, it was now his nominal property. He felt bad when buying a pot of wine, and now it all went into this kid's stomach. Could he have come here on purpose to get a free meal?

Nian Chuhua and Jiang Ruixue saw from the corner of their eyes that Lu Mingcheng had an expression that was angry but dared not speak. He lowered his head even more, and the corners of his mouth showed a smile that he couldn't suppress.

Third Prince, oh Third Prince, you are such a Third Prince...

"That's right, brother should take care of his health." Lu Jinse chimed in.

"Hey, we are all family, don't be so reserved. Sister Ruixue, Sister Chuhua, eat and be more relaxed." Lu Jinse greeted the two.

"Yes, we are all family, there is no need to be so reserved." Lu Mingqian also echoed.

Next, Lu Jinse started chattering with Lu Mingqian about all sorts of things, with Lu Mingcheng occasionally interrupting. Nianchuhua and Jiang Ruixue acted as invisible people throughout the whole process and would not speak unless they were asked specifically.

The meal was weird and lively. After the meal, Lu Mingcheng wanted to send Nian Chuhua and Jiang Ruixue back. Lu Mingqian suggested that Lu Mingcheng and Lu Jinse go back early, and he would go to send Nian Chuhua and Jiang Ruixue back.

Although the two were unwilling, they were still escorted by Lu Mingqian...

On the road, Lu Mingqian rode in front on horseback, while Nianchuhua and Jiang Ruixue followed in the carriage, swaying towards the Jiang Mansion.

"I was thinking of asking Lu Mingcheng about Lu Mingqian's personality and preferences, but I didn't have the chance the whole night." Nian Chuhua whispered in Jiang Ruixue's ear.

"Why are you asking about him? Do you like him?" Jiang Ruixue stared at Nian Chuhua with her big eyes in surprise.

"Shh, keep your voice down." Nian Chuhua was so scared that sweat broke out on his back. He covered Jiang Ruixue's mouth and said.

"Don't talk nonsense. I just want to know what kind of person he is so that I can avoid offending her in the future. He is my financial sponsor now, so I'd better try not to make him angry."

"Oh, then let's go to his house some other day, so we won't be bothered by anyone."

"Well, why did the Third Prince come to dine with us today? Is it really what he said?" Chu Nian Hua felt that it shouldn't be what he said.

"According to Lu Mingqian's personality, it's impossible for him not to see that we didn't welcome him, but he still sat down and finished his meal. The key is that he even offered to take us home. Don't you think it's weird?"

"It's a bit strange. He must have some purpose." Jiang Ruixue said affirmatively, although she didn't know what his purpose was.

"He doesn't like you, does he? He wants to pursue you." Jiang Ruixue suddenly had an idea.

"How is that possible?" Nianchuhua rolled her eyes.

"How can it be impossible? Think about it, why did he teach you that way in class at the academy that day? Why didn't he teach others that way?" Jiang Ruixue thought it was very likely.

"I'm still a child, okay? He can't be a pedophile, right?" Nian Chuhua's eyes widened in horror.

"Please, sister, this is ancient times, okay? In ancient times, people got married and had children at the age of fifteen or sixteen." The more Jiang Ruixue talked, the more she felt that it was possible

"I have no figure and no good looks. Could it be that he is nearsighted and has astigmatism?" There were no electronic products in ancient times. How could his eyes be damaged at such a young age?

"Maybe he likes your type?" Jiang Ruixue said with a wicked smile

"Well, I'd better grow up quickly." Nian Chuhua hugged his arms and rubbed them.

"I think Lu Mingqian is coming for you and Lu Mingcheng." Nian Chuhua said her thoughts.

"Didn't it always happen that childhood sweethearts got married in ancient times? Maybe the Third Prince thinks that you and Lu Mingcheng are close, and your Jiang family is rich, and he's afraid that the two of you will join forces and it will be disadvantageous to him in his fight for the throne in the future, so he wants to interfere?"

Jiang Ruixue thought about this possibility and nodded, "Well, I think this is possible. It's written like this in the novel.

I will not marry into the palace. I want to travel the world with my prince charming. Even though he is handsome and rich, he is not my ideal type. "

"What's your ideal type?" Nian Chuhua asked, leaning against Jiang Ruixue's face.

"It's hard to say. It depends on your eye for each other. If you like each other, then he or she is your ideal type."

"Tsk... it's as good as not saying anything..."

"Miss, we are here."

Chushūhua wanted to say something, but Mingyue reminded them outside that they had already arrived home.

The two men got off the carriage, and Lu Mingqian had already dismounted and was standing a few steps away.

The two came to Lu Mingqian and bowed. Jiang Ruixue said, "Thank you for seeing me off, Third Prince. It's getting late. Please go back early and be careful on the road."

Lu Mingqian glanced at Nian Chuhua and got on his horse. "The two ladies should have a rest early. Goodbye."

After saying that, he rode away...
