Time Travel: Brothel Maid

Chapter 167 Reading Machine

Xiao Guo'er originally thought that the Eighth Prince would be angry tonight and ignore her luggage and leave, but unexpectedly, the Eighth Prince responded calmly: "It will be very tiring to travel tomorrow, so have a good rest tonight."

"Oh...I obey your command."

Xiao Guoer paused while pushing the door, and sighed again, this Eighth Prince is truly fickle!

After seeing the Eighth Prince and Shen Jing's figures completely disappear at the moon-shaped door, she raised her hand again and pushed open the door.

She ran to the bed happily, Dear bed, I'm here to pamper you!

The next day, the sun was shining brightly and everyone's face was filled with bright smiles.

The Eighth Prince and his entourage, either riding horses or sitting in carriages, traveled through the streets of Huaiyang with great fanfare.

The people stood on both sides, loudly shouting praises to the Eighth Prince, making the scene very lively.

Xiao Guoer was sitting in the carriage. When she opened the curtain, she saw Yuanyuan and Lin in the crowd who came to see her off. She couldn't help but wave goodbye to them excitedly.

If there is anything worth remembering about this trip to Huaiyang, it is the innocent and lovely smile of little Yuanyuan.

As Yuanyuan gradually disappeared from sight, Xiao Guoer was about to lower the curtain, but unexpectedly saw the handsome and tall Eighth Prince riding on a tall horse in front of her. He had an elegant and noble temperament, a gentle smile on his face, and nodded to the people from time to time.

Seeing this, Xiao Guoer snorted in her heart, and with a flick of her hand, she lowered the curtain, curled her lips, and muttered quietly, "Tsk, just pretending! The people thought he was so kind and amiable, but in fact he is a complete conspirator!"

Tang Jingchen laughed and quietly reminded her, "Be careful, there are ears on the other side of the wall."

It was not until we walked out of the bustling streets of Huaiyang that we saw fewer people on both sides of the road.

As the sun rose higher, the Eighth Prince no longer needed to pretend, so he abandoned his horse and got into the spacious and comfortable carriage.

After a while, Xiao Guoer was nestling on Tang Jingchen, eating snacks, when she suddenly heard a guard outside the carriage saying, "The Eighth Prince ordered Master Xiao Guoer to get on the carriage in front."

Xiao Guoer was startled by the voice. Her hands trembled and the snack fell into her neck. She stood up and took the crumbs of the snack out of her collar. She replied unhappily to the carriage, "I know!"

Xiao Guoer frowned and complained, "Can't the Eighth Prince leave us alone for a while? He's really annoying!"

The smile on Tang Jingchen's face disappeared, but he still comforted her, "Maybe he has something to ask you. I think it won't take long. Please be patient."

Xiao Guoer nodded, got off the carriage, and walked towards the enlarged luxury carriage which was more than twice the size of Tang Jingchen's carriage.

When she lifted the curtain, she couldn't help but curl her lips secretly. The Eighth Prince really knew how to enjoy himself. This carriage was like a small bedroom, with an exquisite small table, a comfortable couch, and a small cabinet. It had everything you need.

Various snacks, teas, and fruits were placed on the table, and there was even a stick of incense lit. The rising smoke, with a faint fragrance, lingered throughout the carriage.

The Eighth Prince was leaning lazily on the couch behind him, holding a book in his hand. His eyes wandered over the book. When he heard the sound of the carriage curtain being lifted, he moved his eyes away from the book, raised his eyelids slightly, glanced at the person who came, and then threw the book in his hand on the small table.

"Greetings, Your Majesty." Xiao Guoer bowed respectfully.

"Well, you come and read this book to me." The Eighth Prince's voice was calm, without any emotion.

……

So they let her come here just to be the reader?

Xiao Guo'er was speechless. She looked angrily at the Eighth Prince who had closed his eyes and was waiting to be served.

Damn exploiting class!

They don't even want to read with their own eyes, they just like to enslave and exploit the labor of others.

As if sensing Xiao Guoer's reluctance, Zhao Yunrong waited for a while and heard no movement, so he opened his eyes again.

"Why don't you read?" The indistinguishable voice and sharp gaze made Xiao Guoer's complaints disappear instantly, and she picked up the book resignedly.

Facing this person, she dared not say anything but get angry!

Just study, it won’t cost you anything.

A calm and emotionless tone slowly rang out in the carriage, as if she was really a reading machine.

Xiao Guoer held the book and read word by word like a robot. She could even read a sentence in a way that sounded like jumping beans, which was very unpleasant to the ear.

Yes, she did it on purpose. This silent resistance was obviously useful.

The Eighth Prince indeed called for a stop.

Xiao Guoer thought that if she was not satisfied with her reading level, she could just kick her out.

Zhao Yunrong was very scheming. He only needed to glance at Xiao Guoer's eyes and face to know what this smart boy was thinking.

"If you don't want to read to me here, then go out and read to the guards. The journey is hard, and if you can hear the sound of your reading along the way, it can be considered a relief."

All the way?!

After hearing this, Xiao Guoer shuddered all over, and then said with a wry smile, "Your Highness, you are joking. How could I not want to read to you? It's just that I had a salty breakfast today, and my throat is a little hoarse, so I read a little slowly."

Zhao Yunrong did not expose him. He found it quite interesting to see him trying to find excuses in embarrassment. He wanted to tease him even more and see him look slightly panicked.

"I'm thirsty. There's tea on the table. But if you try to be sneaky again, I'll let you go out and study until dark."

As soon as the threatening words fell, the boy tensed his shoulders, opened his eyes wide, blinked several times, and raised a flattering smile, "I will be fine after drinking some tea, hehe."

As he spoke, he carefully took a cup from the table, poured water into it, and gulped down the water in one gulp.

Zhao Yunrong raised his eyebrows and watched the slender jade-like jaw opening and closing slightly as he drank and swallowed water. The corners of his eyes curled up in an imperceptible arc.

Xiao Guoer drank some water, picked up the book, and started to act like a diligent reader, reading aloud with clear and melodious voice.

Zhao Yunrong's gaze unconsciously fell on the two tender lips moistened by the tea, and his thoughts drifted away in an instant, as if there was suddenly a buzzing sound echoing in his ears.

He could vaguely see the pink tip of the tongue hidden behind the white teeth moving up and down, but he could not hear the reading sound coming from the tip of the tongue.
