Traveling through ancient times: daily life on the run

Chapter 310: Not wanting to restrain her nature

The maid who followed closely led them into an elegantly styled guest room.

Zhu Jinyou put Luo Yu on the couch.

The maid then brought a pot of tea.

Luo Yu took the tea, blew on it, and then handed it to Zhu Jinyou with both hands, smiling and saying, "Drink it. Thank you for taking me back to the house."

Zhu Jinyou smiled slightly and sat down to drink tea with her. He asked the maid to bring a basin of warm water. The maid didn't understand the official language, so Zhu Jinyou could only make a gesture to indicate.

Luo Yu chuckled.

"Mr. Zhu has been here for so many days, and yet he still can't speak the local dialect?"

“I can understand some, but I can’t speak it very well.”

"Then I'll teach you."

"The student Zhu Jinyou would like to ask Miss Luo Hong for advice."

Luo Yu waved his hand, and his rosy face was so charming that every frown and smile could captivate the whole country.

Zhu Jinyou couldn't help but stare at her in a trance. Her beauty was not just about having a peerless appearance, nor was it about having alluring charm, nor was it about having a cold and aloof temperament that was indifferent to the world.

She exudes a unique aura. Anyone who stays with her will feel relaxed and comfortable. She is born with a feeling that makes people want to get close to her.

Seeing that he was staring at him in a daze, Luo Yu looked back at him with a frown.

"How could a student look at a teacher like that? Is it because your talent makes you feel inferior to him?"

"Because he's handsome."

Luo Yu was not shy at all by his sudden praise, but smiled brightly and accepted his praise with pleasure.

After a while, she stretched out her palms and placed them on both of his cheeks, rubbing them up and down. Zhu Jinyou was stunned. The drunken Miss Luo Yu was really capable of anything. He stood straight and did not move, letting her do whatever she wanted.

"I'll warm your cheeks. You'll look great with a red face." Before Zhu Jinyou could react, she suddenly pinched his face and winked. "How about I teach you another interesting way to play. The loser can let the other person rub their face, okay?"

"What kind of gameplay?"

Zhu Jinyou looked at her slender, white hands rubbing his face vigorously, and actually listened to her continue with a smile.

"Let's play rock-paper-scissors. We throw punches at the same time. The winner shouts out a human feature, and the loser has to find it immediately. If they can't find it, the winner gets to pinch their face."

"Can't you knead other places?"

Luo Yu chuckled twice: "Zhu Jinyou, you thought I was drunk, didn't you? You deliberately tried to seduce me."

As soon as she finished speaking, she felt something in her throat trying to flow out, and she immediately covered her mouth.

Zhu Jinyou was anxious. How could someone who had only drunk two bowls of rice wine really be so drunk?

He immediately found a spittoon and placed it in front of her, motioning her to squat down.

Luo Yu vomited a few times, but nothing came out. She patted her chest and muttered, "It's okay, it's okay. There's nothing to vomit. It's mainly because this wine has a strong aftereffect, and I drank it on an empty stomach..."

Zhu Jinyou patted her back gently: "You can't drink alcohol. Don't drink from now on."

At this moment, the maid brought a basin of warm water and wanted to wipe the girl's face herself, but Zhu Jinyou asked her to leave.

Luo Yu vomited a few more times into the spittoon, and she felt a little uncomfortable just listening to it.

After a while, a stream of diluted liquid really flowed out of his mouth...

Zhu Jinyou brought her tea for rinsing her mouth and wet a towel to wipe her face, just like he was serving his own master.

No, when has he ever served anyone...

After he had nothing left to vomit, Luo Yu sat up and his whole body was empty.

When Zhu Jinyou tried to wipe her again with the handkerchief, Luo Yu felt a little embarrassed. If he saw her like this, wouldn't he mock her in the future?

She took the handkerchief and whispered softly, "Thank you, I can do it myself!"

Zhu Jinyou said with a half-smile: "I'm serving you, and you're not happy?"

"To show kindness when there is no cause for concern is either treacherous or deceitful."

"It seems that Miss Luo Yu has regained her composure."

Luo Yu wiped his face and looked at him: "Are you trying to trick me into saying something?"

"Why do you always like to think the worst of people?"

"Then why are you being so nice to me? Haven't you already rejected my feelings?"

Zhu Jinyou wondered, "When did I refuse? How come I didn't know?"

Luo Yu pondered for a while and felt that they were indeed not suitable for love. If they really fell in love, the distance in status and identity would cause trouble.

If you deceive others and create false feelings for your own benefit, that is not acceptable. This kind of deception is despicable.

She couldn't be such a mean person, and she couldn't allow others to treat her with so-called affection.

"I suddenly feel that what you said is right. You just helped me. Come on, what do you want to ask me?"

Zhu Jinyou: ...

"Tomorrow, we will leave the tribe and return to the capital."

Luo Yu nodded, and then what?

"Will you not go with me to see the Emperor?"

Zhu Jinyou poured her tea, and Luo Yu took it naturally, completely forgetting the class system of the time.

"Aren't you afraid that your identity will be discovered by the Emperor?"

Luo Yu suddenly understood.

Instantly, she said heartlessly: "So what? I can go back to who I was before!"

"You think it's that easy?"

"Then the Emperor, knowing that I am no ordinary noble, will probably spare my life and support me, right?"

When Zhu Jinyou heard this, he couldn't help but laugh for no reason.

"I can also support you."

Luo Yu placed his hands on the table, held his chin and looked at him, the corners of his mouth raised: "Master Zhu, are you trying to help the emperor support me as his sister-in-law? Oh my god, what kind of taboo is this..."

"Qin Luohong... do you really want to return to the palace and become the bound golden phoenix?"

"That's not okay. Wouldn't I be locked up in the courtyard anyway if I were with you? What's the difference?"

Zhu Jinyou's heart suddenly slowed down...

He was now even more afraid to say those words.

This kind of free and easy Miss Luo Yu is his favorite state. For the first time, he discovered that when he really likes someone, he doesn't want to restrict her nature.

Finally, he smiled dimly.

"You have a good rest. I will go to the temple to talk to the clan leader first."

Luo Yu nodded. Seeing that he was not very happy, she was not in the mood to tease him. As for what he wanted to know, Luo Yu knew it very clearly.

Going back, the Queen is really a trouble.

I don’t know if the secret guards she sent went back to report.

Zhu Jinyou returned to the hall and was shocked by the unusual atmosphere.

Miss Qin and Eunuch Yao were almost dancing and drinking together. Qin Bingrui held the cup in one hand and the sword in the other, and insisted on asking Eunuch Yao to teach her a few more moves.

Teach her a trick, she toasted three times, as if the wine was just plain tea.

Eunuch Yao discovered that this woman had a free and easy temperament. Although her swordsmanship was not top-notch, she was gifted.

If she weren't a woman, he would have wanted to adopt her as his adopted son.

But then he thought that this group of people would be a big trouble if they returned to the imperial city, so he couldn't lose his mind for a while.

When Qin Bingrui saw Zhu Jinyou come in, he immediately raised his glass and went over to ask him to drink with him.

"Mr. Zhu, why did you take so long? Are you taking advantage of my sister again?"

Zhu Jinyou: You are so drunk and still talking and laughing with an old eunuch. Aren’t you afraid that he will take advantage of you?

Xia Liang took Yan Xuan and said goodbye to Zhu Jinyou and the clan leader. She was full and just wanted to go out and relax.

Qin Bingrui poured Eunuch Yao another glass of wine and said politely, "Master Yao, who's better, you or Master Zhu? How about a duel?"

The wine that Eunuch Yao was about to drink suddenly lost its flavor.

He was ten years older than His Royal Highness Prince Ning, so his martial arts skills had naturally improved by ten percent. However, this competition could not be just started casually. Winning or losing was not a good thing.

Zhu Jinyou, contrary to his usual attitude, said nonchalantly, "I don't have any objections. It's just that I haven't stretched my muscles in a while. Master Yao, if you don't mind, let's go practice outside now."

Qin Bingrui was very happy, thinking that the drinking was not in vain.

Clan leader Ran knew that their kung fu was all top-notch, so he immediately called over several capable guards to come and observe.

Quickly, the large platform outside the hall was surrounded by people.

Mr. Zhu standing in the middle is very elegant. Although Eunuch Yao is not as tall as him, he is not inferior in imposing manner.

Qin Bingrui, the referee, explained a few simple rules and then shouted, "The competition has officially begun. Please feel free to perform!"

Luo Yu was sleeping soundly and could only hear bursts of noise outside, which sounded very lively.

She muttered to herself, "Is it some kind of festival today?" She's leaving tomorrow, and she hasn't had a proper stroll through town yet. She'll buy some unique local jewelry for her mother later. The knives here are pretty good, and they're not regulated. She'll have to buy a dagger each for Bai Lingyi, Mei Zhengyan, and Mei Yaoer. And what should she get for Xiao Tao, Er Ya, and San Ya? She'll definitely pass by Liangzhou City when she returns to the Imperial City, so she needs to prepare some local gifts for the Fang family.

As she thought this, she struggled to get up from the bed, put on her clothes, and prepared to go shopping with Qin Bingrui and Xia Liang.
