Quick Wear: She is the White Moonlight

Chapter 139 The Princess of a Lost Country is Everyone’s White Moonlight (24)

Before Zhou Mingxuan and Jiang Chenying had time to hide the roasted peacock in their hands, the oil paper package containing the peacock was snatched away by Zhou Qinghe.

They had never seen Zhou Qinghe so emotional before. Instead, Yuebai smiled slightly. Just now Zhou Qinghe was saying that he envied Zhou Mingxuan's recklessness, but this guy was also good at making trouble.

Seeing that the truth was revealed, Zhou Mingxuan picked up Jiang Chenying and prepared to run away, but he discovered sadly that he couldn't even lift Jiang Chenying. What did this little brat eat to grow up!

Unlike Zhou Mingxuan, Jiang Chenying was very happy. They were finally discovered and his master was going to start paying attention to him. So when he realized that Zhou Mingxuan was going to take him away, he exerted force on his lower body. Jiang Chenying's internal strength was extremely high, so Zhou Mingxuan, who was skilled in Triangle Cat Kung Fu, naturally could not lift him.

But in order to monopolize Yue Bai's attention, Jiang Chenying shouted to Zhou Mingxuan: "Uncle Xuan, run! Leave the things here to me!"

This sound made Zhou Qinghe very angry. Because Yue Bai was his apprentice, he had given him a lot of conveniences in the academy. Now, he and Zhou Mingxuan were working together to eat his pet, and they were pretending to be close to each other to disgust him.

"Hehe...you guys are quite loyal." Zhou Qinghe slammed the door shut and took out a ruler. Only then did a look of regret appear on Zhou Mingxuan's face.

But based on Zhou Qinghe's understanding of him, Zhou Mingxuan would probably only regret running too slowly.

"Sister..." Zhou Mingxuan felt that he couldn't avoid it and started to wink at Yue Bai, "I just took my nephew to have a bite to eat. He is still young and growing."

Jiang Chenying knelt on the ground and said, "Master, Uncle Qinghe, this has nothing to do with Uncle Xuan. I am just greedy..."

Zhou Mingxuan really didn't expect that Jiang Chenying was so good to him. He was already touched when Jiang Chenying asked him to go first, and now he felt that he couldn't let the child down.

"Sister, actually I just wanted to make trouble because I couldn't stand Zhou Qinghe. I instigated my nephew..."

Upon hearing this, Jiang Chenying clenched his fists slightly, feeling somewhat unhappy that Zhou Mingxuan did not put all the blame on him as he had expected.

While he was still thinking, a white hand stretched out in front of him. When he looked up, it was his master. Jiang Chenying put his hand on it. Yuebai helped Jiang Chenying up and motioned for him to sit next to him.

"Junior Brother Qinghe, it was indeed Chen Ying who did something wrong. I apologize to you directly on his behalf. Senior Sister Kongque doesn't have the one you like. If Senior Sister has anything you like in the future, just come and ask Senior Sister for it."

Zhou Qinghe didn't really want to bother with a child, otherwise he would have ordered the secret guards to capture the two men. Since he didn't do so, he felt that these things were unimportant.

After all, they were just two kids who had not grown up and were greedy. He was not a narrow-minded person, but not caring did not mean he was not angry. His fellow disciples were more important than a few peacocks, even if he did not like these two fellow disciples very much.

"What are you talking about? How can I let you spend money? I should have given my nephew some gifts, but I don't have any prepared. So I'll just give him the peacock."

Seeing that Zhou Qinghe had taken all the limelight in front of his elder sister, Zhou Mingxuan immediately said, "So this is just your nephew? Although I don't have anything, if you have anything to do in the future, please ask your uncle to do it. I will definitely do it for you. Your uncle is very capable!"

Yuebai had a smile on her lips as she watched the three people getting along harmoniously. Jiang Chenying noticed Yuebai's emotions and also curled the corners of his lips.

Then he took out the grease bag, quietly stuffed it to Yuebai, and said, "Master, eat it while it's hot."

The moment the oil paper was opened, Zhou Qinghe and Zhou Mingxuan both looked at the roasted peacock in Yuebai's hand.

Zhou Mingxuan smelled a familiar scent. It was actually very delicious. Otherwise, they would not have eaten up half of the peacock in half a month.

Zhou Qinghe didn't expect that the peacock could be so fragrant. Although it was his pet, after smelling it, he couldn't say with a clear conscience that it didn't taste good.

Seeing this, Yuebai invited, "Why don't we share it together?"

"This is specially for Master," Jiang Chenying insisted, "Uncle Xuan and I have already eaten it, and Uncle Qinghe has a lot of food to cook for himself, so this one is for Master."

Zhou Qinghe was not a person who cared about food and immediately agreed, "Sister, since this is a token of my nephew's kindness, it would be bad if you let him down. As my nephew said, I still have a lot."

Seeing that they didn't seem to be eating, Yuebai got up and went to the inner room and took out a few plates of pastries.

"These are some snacks made by Liao Luo. Today, Junior Brother Qinghe has contributed the peacock. Xuan Er and Chen Ying have been the cooks. I brought a few plates of cakes. Let's all get together."

Indeed, they had never sat together like this before. Yuebai was the young palace master and was often busy practicing medicine. Zhou Qinghe also taught some subjects in the academy. Zhou Mingxuan had not been in the academy since he was a child. However, Jiang Chenying had never had such a warm moment in her life.

In this way, the four of them drank tea instead of wine, ate cakes and chatted about everything, including their respective ambitions.

"I haven't felt so comfortable for a long time," Zhou Qinghe ate a piece of cake. He tasted that it was a palace cake from the Kingdom of Jiang. Perhaps that Liao Luo was also from the Kingdom of Jiang.

Zhou Mingxuan stuffed a piece of cake into his mouth. It was so soft that he liked it. He asked, "Sister, the new maid is quite skillful."

"I picked up Liao Luo. When the country of Jing was destroyed, she wanted to commit suicide. I rescued her, but she had nowhere to go, so I took her in." Yuebai explained as she wiped the pastry crumbs from the corner of Zhou Mingxuan's mouth.

Jiang Chenying nodded and said, "So the master picked up the Liaoluo that I picked up before."

"Of course." Yuebai glanced at Jiang Chenying, "What do you want to do in the future?"

Jiang Chenying barely hesitated. He looked at Yuebai and said, "I will do whatever my master wants me to do."

Yuebai looked at Jiang Chenying meaningfully and said, "Then Chenying must remember what I said today and listen carefully to what I say in the future."

Jiang Chenying nodded and said, "From now on, I will listen to whatever Master says. I will do whatever Master tells me to do, and I will never do anything Master doesn't allow me to do."

Hearing this, Zhou Mingxuan smiled and patted Jiang Chenying on the shoulder: "I didn't expect you to be so filial. Although you are a little bit naughty, at least you have good intentions towards your sister."

The four of them chatted and laughed from the afternoon until dusk. The afterglow sprinkled in the courtyard, and the seven-leaf Fritillaria dahliae drying in the courtyard were coated with a layer of golden afterglow.
