C133 Gu Jun'an Had Successfully Replaced the Traveling Tool!
Gu Jun’an glanced at him indifferently.
San Qi immediately shut his mouth and slapped his own mouth. “I was wrong. The word ‘Ninth Prince’ is not ugly. It is the most artistic word.”
Gu Jun’an handed the book back to San Qi. “Send her book back to the academy quietly.”
“There are many people patrolling the academy. What if they find out?” San Qi said.
“If they find out, just say that you came to steal the book. Don’t tell them that you are related to the Seventh Prince.”
San Qi thought, [What the hell? How heartless!]
They went to school together.
Gu Jun’an had successfully replaced Lan Qingqian as her transportation. Every day, he had to send her to the academy. In the afternoon, he had to pick her up personally.
Gu Jun’an was not as diligent as when he went to the academy.
When Gu Xinghe was blocking the door, Gu Jun’an was preparing to pick up Lan Qingqian who had left school.
“Oh, Seventh Brother, you’re picking up Little Doudou again. You are such a good driver. You are so diligent and punctual. You are the most expensive driver in the West Province.”
Gu Xinghe was smiling at Gu Jun’an.
Gu Jun’an asked, “Why are you so free?”
Gu Xinghe held his hands and smiled like a spoiled brat. He shrugged and said, “It’s not that I’m free. I just want to drink and listen to some music. You know that I am the most free among us. Who else can I go to if not you?”
“No time!” Gu Jun’an rejected him coldly.
Gu Xinghe leaned over and whispered, “It was Fourth Brother who asked me to come. He gave me five hundred silvers and said that he would be the host tonight. That’s why I came to pass the message.”
“You’re so short on money?” Gu Jun’an frowned. Last time, he also received money from some officials to buy a porcelain vase from his residence and sold it for seven or eight thousand silvers.
“How can I not? Drinking wine, listening to music, and eating meat. Which one of them doesn’t need money?”
Gu Xinghe hit his left palm with his right hand. “This messenger team only gets five hundred silvers for nothing. How can there be such a good thing in this world? If you don’t need it, I can give you one thousand silvers and I will reject Fourth Brother.”
Gu Jun’an said, “My family has a mine that needs to be fed. We don’t have any money.” He said it with confidence.
Gu Xinghe shook his head and laughed, “Normal people really can’t feed your mine. Now that we have so little money, she will eat up all the gold and silver mountains in three or five years. When she returns to Canglan, I will see you as a bachelor!”
Gu Jun’an heard him say that he would wait for her to return to Canglan when she grew up. He frowned and was a little unhappy. When did he start to consider this little thing as his own?
He remembered that when he brought her back, he was thinking about letting her be raised when she had the ability.
“Old Seventh, what are you thinking about? Hurry up and leave. I won’t be able to get that few hundred silvers later!”
“He hasn’t been picked up yet!”
Gu Xinghe patted him on the shoulder. “Let San Qi pick him up. Fourth Brother has something important to tell you.”
Gu Jun’an thought for a moment and then ordered San Qi to go. He then went to the carriage with Gu Xinghe.
When the school was dismissed, all the children rushed out like little pigs that had just been released from the fence.
Lan Qingqian grabbed her small schoolbag and ran quickly towards the familiar place.
However, she didn’t see the familiar figure. She looked around and saw San Qi’s figure from afar. She was overjoyed.
However, when she saw the figure getting closer, she didn’t see Gu Jun’an.
Lan Qingqian’s small eyebrows twitched and she wasn’t happy.
She walked towards San Qi with her head lowered like a frosted eggplant.
San Qi had teased her a few times on the way and she didn’t say a word.
“Coincidentally, I picked up a few copper coins near the school today. Is anyone interested in eating a stick of candied fruits?”
San Qi threw the copper coins in her hand around, trying to attract the little girl’s attention.
Lan Qingqian sighed and shook her head. She looked dispirited.
“What about the hawthorn cake?”
Lan Qingqian lowered her head and didn’t say anything. She continued to walk towards the direction of the Imperial Residence.
San Qi asked, “Are you sick?” Usually, when she heard about food, she wasn’t as enthusiastic as she was today. San Qi reached out to touch her forehead and found that her temperature was normal.
Lan Qingqian went back to her own yard and didn’t say anything.
San Qi looked at her and said to Chun Su, “It seems like someone else is here today. If I didn’t go to pick her up, I would have thought that someone else was here.”
Chun Su stopped what she was doing and said, “Let me go and take a look.”
When she went in, she saw Lan Qingqian lying on the bed with her head covered with a pillow. She looked like a little turtle hiding in her shell.
Lan Qingqian liked to do this when she was unhappy or scared.
She grew up in the palace and didn’t have a mother. She always felt insecure.
“Your Highness? Your Highness?”
She called out twice and Chun Su wanted to pull her pillow and blanket away. “What if you cover your head with your blanket when it’s so hot?”
“Don’t touch me!” Chun Su couldn’t pull her blanket away.
However, there was a clear sobbing tone in her voice.
Chun Su knew that something was wrong. “Your Highness, are you hungry? Or are you being bullied? Your Highness said that I should go to Butler Jiang’s house to talk to him. How dare you bully the princess?”
Lan Qingqian said, “No.”
“Then don’t be unhappy, Your Highness. Fatty Orange has been looking for Your Highness. Why don’t you go and see him?” Chun Su said.
Lan Qingqian took off her pillow and got off the bed. Her eyes were red as she looked down at her things.
“I want to stay in the academy, Chun Chan.” Her voice was full of grievance.
Chun Chan said, “Your Highness, didn’t you say that you wanted to stay in the palace? Why did you change your mind today? The food in the academy is not good. The chefs in the palace cooks for Your Highness.”
Lan Qingqian didn’t say anything and kept her things. She packed her things and walked out with her small backpack.
Chun Chan was shocked, “Your Highness, what’s wrong?”
She didn’t say anything and kept walking out.
San Qi and the others saw her and quickly came over to persuade her, “Your Highness, what are you doing? It’s dinner time.”
“Butler Jiang, please persuade Your Highness. She wants to stay in the academy.” Chun Chan was anxious. The Ninth Princess was stubborn, but even ten bulls couldn’t pull her back.
The ten people kept persuading her. Lan Qingqian’s face was full of buns as she walked in the direction of the academy.
“Your Highness, you should go back. Tonight, we made ginseng chicken soup and caught wild fish to make braised fish.” Butler Jiang coaxed her in a low voice.
Tiantian soup persuaded her, “Your Highness, I made brown sugar ice powder for you. Hurry up and eat it.”
San Qi said, “It’s already so late. If you want to go to the academy, we can go tomorrow morning.”
Gu Jun’an came back and saw the people in the palace chasing after the little girl.
“What’s going on?” Gu Jun’an asked.
