Traveling through the ancient times

Chapter 44: The frightened and confused trio

Because he didn't know where Jiang Ruixue was or when she would return home, Lu Mingqian sent someone to the Jiang Mansion to pass a message, asking the servant of the Jiang Mansion to tell Jiang Ruixue that Lu Mingqian invited her to a banquet at Zuiyun Tower.

Jiang Ruixue finished a day's inspection and when she returned to the Jiang Mansion, the servant told her the news.

The Third Prince invited her to a banquet at Zuiyun Tower. What was going on? Jiang Ruixue was also very surprised!

"Has Chu Hua come today?" Jiang Ruixue asked the servant who came to deliver the message.

"Miss Chu Hua did not come today."

[Not here... Where did this little girl go? ]

Jiang Ruixue thought to herself and asked Lu Mingcheng again, "Where is the Second Prince? Has he been here?"

"His Royal Highness the Second Prince has never been here either."

[Didn’t you say you’d come over for dinner? Why didn’t you come? Could it be that you were invited by the Third Prince? ]

Jiang Ruixue was thinking about it in her mind, so she asked Mingyue to change her clothes, and then she left the house and went to Zuiyun Tower.

Nianchuhua had already followed the two Lu brothers to the private room of the restaurant in advance. The three of them drank tea and chatted casually while waiting for Jiang Ruixue to come.

When Jiang Ruixue got off the carriage, Nchu Shuhua was sitting by the window. She saw her immediately and turned to Lu Mingqian and said, "Ruixue is here."

Lu Mingqian then ordered Xing Yi to go downstairs and bring Jiang Ruixue upstairs.

Jiang Ruixue followed Xing Yi all the way to the private room on the second floor. She was relieved to see Nian Chuhua and Lu Mingcheng were also there.

"I'm late, please forgive me, Your Highness the Third Prince." Jiang Ruixue walked in and was the first to apologize to Lu Mingqian. Who knew that he would suddenly invite her to dinner, catching her off guard.

"Nothing. I would also like to thank Miss Jiang for coming here." Lu Mingqian did not put on airs.

"Your Highness, you are too polite." Jiang Ruixue walked over, greeted Lu Mingqian and Nian Chuhua, and then sat down next to Nian Chuhua.

As soon as Jiang Ruixue arrived, Xingyi ordered the waiter to serve the dishes. At this time, the most delicious dishes were served one after another, and soon the table was full.

Jiang Ruixue took advantage of the time when the waiter was serving the dishes and whispered to Nian Chuhua, "Why did the Third Prince suddenly invite us to dinner? I was so scared when I first heard it."

Nian Chuhua stole a glance at Lu Mingqian, then turned her head and whispered in Jiang Ruixue's ear, "I don't know either. I was at Lu Mingcheng's house in the afternoon, and he suddenly came over. He scared both of us. He said that after eating our meal, he wanted to treat us to a reunion dinner, and then he ended up here..."

After the two of them finished their whisper, they glanced at Lu Mingcheng at the same time, and then glanced at Lu Mingqian who was sitting there calmly. The three of them were a little unsure as to what Lu Mingqian was up to...

Lu Mingqian also saw what the three did, but he didn't say anything. He just handed a pot of fruit wine to the waiter and gestured to pour it for the two young ladies. "Miss Jiang and Miss Nian, it's inconvenient for you two girls to drink too much. Just drink this fruit wine. It has a wine aroma, but it won't make you drunk."

Then he filled his and Lu Mingcheng's glasses with wine, "This is the Zuiyun Peach Blossom Wine that Second Brother likes. We won't go home until we're drunk tonight."

Lu Mingqian raised his glass as he spoke, and the other three also raised their glasses upon seeing him.

"Thank you all for your presence. Cheers." Lu Mingqian said and drank it all in one gulp.

"You're welcome, help yourself to food."

Lu Mingqian invited a few people to start eating. During the meal, Lu Mingqian saw several times that Nian Chuhua's eyes were looking at the braised lion head in front of him.

So he picked one up and handed it over.

When Chuanxihua saw that she was discovered, she blushed and refused, "No, no, you eat it, don't give me any."

Jiang Ruixue knew that her little sister liked to eat this dish. She glanced at Nian Chuhua, and then at Lu Mingqian who was holding the lion's head in his hand.

He took the bowl in front of the New Year's Eve painting, caught the lion's head that Lu Mingqian passed to him, and said, "Take it. Don't let the Third Prince down."

Lu Mingqian smiled and sat down to continue eating. Jiang Ruixue winked at Nian Chuhua, making her blush to her ears.

Nian Chuhua said thank you to Lu Mingqian, then lowered her head and started eating in silence.

I was so embarrassed that I even brought shame to my grandma's house. I just looked at her a few more times, but how did she get discovered?

Lu Mingqian found it funny, but also felt a little upset.

According to Tianqing and Tianqing, Nianchuhua is a casual person. When the three of them are together, if Nianchuhua wants to eat something but can't get it, he will just stand up or walk over to get it. Why is she so reserved in front of him? Does she still have a grudge against him?

Everyone had their own thoughts during the meal. After dinner, it was already late. Lu Mingqian suggested that he would send Nian Chuhua back, and Lu Mingcheng would send Jiang Ruixue back. No one had any objection.

Nian Chuhua sat in Lu Mingqian's carriage, and they looked at each other in silence for a while.

On the other side, Lu Mingcheng and Jiang Ruixue were chatting animatedly.

"Do you think Lu Mingqian is interested in Chu Hua?" Jiang Ruixue thought of Lu Mingqian's behavior at the dinner table and combined with their recent contacts, it was hard not to imagine.

"You can see that too. I think there should be some meaning to this. I've been here for so long and Lu Mingqian has never come to my house for no reason, let alone invite me to a reunion dinner." Lu Mingcheng felt that Lu Mingqian had other purposes in inviting them to dinner.

As for the purpose, it seems that it should be painted at the beginning of the year!

"It seems like we were just a byproduct!" Jiang Ruixue also sensed something was going on.

"That's right! You don't know, today Chu Hua and I were watching my team play football, and he suddenly appeared from behind, and scared me so much that I almost had heart arrest." Lu Mingcheng is still scared when he thinks about it now. Fortunately, they didn't say anything that shouldn't be said, otherwise it would be terrible!

If Lu Mingqian knew that he was not the real Second Prince, wouldn't he kill him on the spot?

"I just don't know what Chu Hua was thinking." Jiang Ruixue thought about Chu Hua's foodie look.

"You'll know if you ask again some other day. Once Chu Hua takes down Lu Mingqian, we can relax a little." Lu Mingcheng thought that since Lu Mingqian was with Nian Chu Hua, he wouldn't use them as cannon fodder.

"Well, if you ask me, you don't need to be so scared. You are just a soul traveling through time, and your body is the real Second Prince. The most they know is that you are different from before, but they can't find out anything.

If you say something and they become suspicious, just say that you were in a coma for two years and it was like a long dream. The things you said were all in your dream, and they can't go into your dream to verify the truth." Jiang Ruixue looked at Lu Mingcheng who looked frightened and gave him some advice. Anyway, she was adapting well in this body now.

Now that we are here, let us make the best of it. Maybe this was all just a dream?

As to whether it was a dream in the past or it is a dream now, no one can tell clearly. In the end, it is you who are experiencing this life.

"What you said makes sense, but doesn't the book say that emperors have always been suspicious? What if he dislikes me one day and sends someone to kill me secretly? It's better to be careful in front of them." Lu Mingcheng also had his own ideas. After all, this was a society with imperial power.

"You decide for yourself!" Jiang Ruixue also knew that what Lu Mingcheng was worried about was not impossible.

Didn’t the TV show say that? Living with the emperor is like living with a tiger. If the emperor wants to kill you, it’s just a matter of a word…
