Traveling through ancient times to escape famine, the prince led me to rebel

Chapter 226 Jade Pendant

It’s no wonder that Sun Qingyuan always reminds Luo Xingchen and Niu Dan to practice their calligraphy well, because their sister Luo Xiaoran’s handwriting is really not that good.

Sun Qingyuan was so afraid that his two students would be influenced by Luo Xiaoran and start writing in a poor handwriting style.

Qiu Niang and Du Kongqing were both coaxing Luo Xingchen, so Luo Xiaoran didn't try to squeeze in.

To be honest, Luo Xiaoran was a little depressed. She seemed to have messed things up. Not only did she fail to give Chen'er a surprise, but she also scared him.

Chen Ji and Yun Hu arrived at this time.

Uncle Xiang did not hesitate to let Chen Ji and Yun Hu in this time, especially Chen Ji. Luo Xiaoran had carefully told Uncle Xiang that whenever Chen Ji came, Uncle Xiang must be extremely careful and treat him with much higher standards than Yun Hu...

"What's going on here?"

Qiu Niang was comforting Luo Xingchen with her back to everyone, so when she suddenly heard a familiar voice, her body stiffened, but she didn't dare turn around to confirm.

Luo Xiaoran was convinced. The house was in chaos. How come these two big Buddhas came by such a coincidence?

"My brother has his birthday today." Luo Xiaoran explained.

Yun Hu was a little confused and asked, "Isn't a birthday a happy occasion? Why did you make him cry?"

Luo Xiaoran was already depressed, and Yun Hu made her feel even more angry when he said that she made Luo Xingchen cry: "Be careful with your words, what do you mean by making me cry!"

Luo Xiaoran had never expected that Luo Xingchen would be reminded of his family. Yun Hu asked casually, which made Luo Xiaoran a little angry and embarrassed.

Yun Hu shrank her neck. Why was Luo Xiaoran being so hot and cold towards her?

The last time he came, he personally cooked for him and also gave him gifts. Even though the gift was confiscated by the master, it was still for him after all, right?

Why are you so fierce this time? Yun Hu felt wronged.

If Luo Xiaoran knew what he was thinking, she would definitely sneer.

I have already received your master, do I need to curry favor with you?

Yes! I am so snobbish!

"I guess you're missing your parents?" Chen Ji raised his eyebrows and asked Luo Xiaoran.

He knew that Luo Xiaoran and her brother all came here to escape famine, and most of their family members were probably gone. In the past, they would have had many family members around them when they celebrated their birthdays.

Luo Xiaoran smiled bitterly, "That's right, my brother is still young, and he has a fulfilling schedule of studying and playing on weekdays, so he doesn't have time to think about random things.

Today is a special day, and I wanted to celebrate it properly, but it backfired."

Chen Ji didn't say anything after listening. He walked into the restaurant. Seeing his powerful aura, everyone made way for him.

Luo Xingchen was still sobbing, his eyes were red, and the tall figure of Chen Ji was reflected in his black grape-like eyes.

The first time Chen Ji saw Luo Xingchen, he felt that the child looked familiar. Now that he was closer, the strange feeling in his heart became even stronger.

Chen Ji frowned, wondering what was wrong with him?

Could it be that just because he is Luo Xiaoran's younger brother, I feel a sense of closeness to him for no reason?

Seeing Chen Ji frowning, Luo Xingchen seemed to be frightened and stopped sobbing for a moment.

Luo Xiaoran didn't care about anything else and followed him into the restaurant, squeezing between Chen Ji and Luo Xingchen. To be precise, she blocked Luo Xingchen behind her.

"It's normal for children to cry and make a fuss. You don't have to take it to heart."

Seeing Luo Xiaoran behaving like a hen protecting her chicks, Chen Ji suddenly felt depressed.

Do you look like someone who would bully children?

Chen Ji turned his head away, deliberately not looking at Luo Xiaoran, staring straight at Luo Xingchen and said:

"It's normal for you to cry because you miss your family, but looking at this table of food, your sister wants to celebrate your birthday well, you shouldn't let her efforts go to waste."

After saying this, Chen Ji also took off a jade pendant from his body.

He himself had no habit of wearing jade pendants, but inspired by Yun Hu's dressing up last time when she came to Luo Xiaoran's house, he wore one today.

"I didn't know it was your birthday today, so I didn't prepare any gifts. I'll just give this to you."

"No, no!" Luo Xiaoran directly refused on behalf of Luo Xingchen.

Are you kidding! The jade pendant worn by a prince must be extraordinary. Their family cannot just accept such a valuable gift.

"Take it, it's not a valuable item!" Chen Ji handed the jade pendant to Luo Xiaoran.

Luo Xiaoran still declined, as she was afraid that such a valuable item would be targeted by thieves.

Yun Hu interrupted, "Just keep it! It's just an ordinary jade pendant."

Luo Xiaoran: ...Okay, she was overthinking it.

It seems that His Royal Highness the Prince of Yan is indeed down-to-earth. He lives in the same tent as ordinary soldiers, is very skilled in cooking, and even the accessories he wears are not expensive.

"Thank you then... Sir, I will accept it on behalf of my brother."

Shit, I almost called him His Highness again.

Luo Xingchen had now come out of the sadness that he couldn't get rid of just now, and took Luo Xiaoran's hand from behind, saying timidly:

"I'm sorry, sister. I was naughty just now."

Luo Xiaoran patted his little head, "This has nothing to do with being obedient or not. What's wrong with missing your family? When you stop crying, we can celebrate your birthday again."

Luo Xiaoran looked at Chen Ji again, "Sir, you came at the right time. I made a cake for my brother's birthday today. You can have a taste."

After that, Luo Xiaoran asked Aunt Ji to go to the kitchen to make longevity noodles for Luo Xingchen, while she divided the cake into equal portions and put them on small plates, and then served them to everyone with small wooden forks.

Everyone had never seen cake before, so when they saw Luo Xiaoran use a small wooden fork to pick up a piece and put it into her mouth, they followed suit and tasted it.

The cake tasted great. No one had ever eaten this kind of cake before. They wanted to praise Luo Xiaoran's cooking skills, but because Chen Ji and Yun Hu were there, it felt a little awkward.

The sudden visit of Chen Ji and Yun Hu brought a sense of oppression, making this birthday party very quiet. Luo Xiaoran tried to liven up the atmosphere, but to no avail (? ^ ?)

After eating, Luo Xiaoran asked everyone to leave as usual.

"I wonder why you two are here?"

"Ahem!" Yun Hu suddenly coughed, a hint of embarrassment flashing across his face, "How is the matter I entrusted to you last time going?"

Luo Xiaoran was speechless. Only a few days had passed, and he couldn't wait to come again.

She had originally planned to go to Yizhou to find Yunhu after celebrating Chen'er's birthday and inform Yunhu of Qiu Niang's attitude, but this guy couldn't wait and came again.

"Qiu Niang has no feelings for you, so just give up!" Luo Xiaoran sentenced Yun Hu's secret love to death in a very cold tone.

The smile on Yun Hu's lips just disappeared, "Miss Qiu Niang, do you have a lover?"

"No." Luo Xiaoran told the truth.

Yun Hu was silent.

Luo Xiaoran looked at Chen Ji again, asking him what the purpose of his visit was?

Chen Ji immediately understood Luo Xiaoran's eyes and didn't know how to respond because he hadn't come up with a good reason yet.
