The book has no strength, the female supporting role just wants to survive

Jiang Tunan finally left the Xiao residence with Chunhua, ready to pick out the four treasures of the study himself, but Xiao Mingrui would pay for it.

Jiang Tunan glanced at the servant behind him and smiled happily. This was Xiao Mingrui's servant, who had specially followed Jiang Tunan to pay.

"That... inkstone, right?"

"Miss, it's Shuyan."

Shuyan looks very cute. When he smiles, he always opens his mouth wide, revealing two little canine teeth.

"Okay, Xiaoyan, let's go!"

Jiang Tunan was in high spirits. With Shuyan following him, it was as if he was carrying a mobile wallet. He walked with his head held high and his chest puffed out, which made him much more confident.

Shuyan: ...It is Shuyan

Following the introduction of Zhuo Shuyan, Jiang Tunan and Chunhua came to a place that specialized in selling pens, ink, paper and inkstones.

As soon as he entered the door, Jiang Tunan smelled the smell of paper and ink coming towards him. Jiang Tunan took a deep breath, ah, this is the smell of knowledge.

Shuyan was very considerate. As soon as he entered the door, he called the shopkeeper and put on a serious look.

"Boss, this is my cousin. She needs to prepare for an exam. Bring me your best writing supplies."

The shopkeeper may have recognized the inkstone, so he was very respectful. The shop assistants brought many styles of brushes and inkstones.

"Miss, here are the brushes and inkstones. The ink sticks and paper were delivered to the Xiao Mansion on time, so today you only need to choose the brushes and inkstones."

Shu Yan said respectfully, Jiang Tunan nodded and began to choose, and finally chose a purple bamboo wolf hair brush and a carved Duan inkstone.

"Miss Jiang, long time no see."

The voice seemed familiar. Jiang Tunan turned around and found that it was the childish boy she rescued last time.

"Hello, hello. Long time no see. But why do you look so weak?"

Qi Guanming was wearing silk today. Although his face was still full of childishness, he looked very noble.

But Jiang Tunan noticed that his lips were still pale and he looked as if he had suffered a serious illness.

Qi Guanming followed Liangze and shouted to Jiang Tunan,

"How dare you speak to our prince like that!"

"Liang Ze!"

Qi Guanming glanced at Liangze warningly. Liangze knew that he had displeased his master, so he had to retreat.

"Prince?"

Jiang Tunan remembered that at the previous banquet, the Queen Mother had said that she had made a great contribution in saving the Crown Prince. Could it be this girl?

"Miss Jiang, I didn't have time to introduce myself properly last time. My name is Qi Guanming, and my father is the Prince of Guangping stationed in Nanguang County. I am indeed a prince."

Jiang Tunan pretended to be frightened and saluted hurriedly. Qi Guanming stepped forward to support Jiang Tunan.

"Miss Jiang, there's no need to be so polite."

Jiang Tunan looked respectful on the surface, but in his heart he was thinking, what era is this, and why are people still playing this kind of drama where a prince pretends to be a pauper to experience life.

She wanted to see what this boy was going to do.

Qi Guanming said somewhat embarrassedly,

"I traveled from Nanguang County to Kyoto, and I was exhausted from the long journey. After arriving in Kyoto, I was not used to the climate there, and I vomited a lot, so I looked a little worse."

Jiang Tunan nodded.

"No wonder you had low blood sugar last time."

Qi Guanming was puzzled.

"What..is called hypoglycemia?"

"Nothing.. nothing. I was just talking to myself."

Jiang Tunan smiled awkwardly and couldn't help but blurt out what he said. Sometimes he really hated his mouth.

"By the way, why is Miss Jiang here today?"

"I have to prepare for the entrance exam for the Girls' School, so I came here today to pick out some writing brushes, inkstones, and paper."

Qi Guanming was somewhat delighted and said happily,

"You are also going to enter the Imperial College? Then we can be considered classmates from now on!"

As the prince of Prince Guangping, Qi Guanming was bound to enter the Imperial College, unless he was an uneducated playboy who just waited for food and drink every day.

So Jiang Tunan was not surprised that Qi Guanming also wanted to enter the Imperial College.

"You are joking, my prince. It is not certain whether you can pass the entrance examination."

Qi Guanming curled his lips, his eyes were bright and round, and Jiang Tunan was instantly touched by Qi Guanming's cuteness. If this person were in modern times, he would definitely be the type of cute little boy.

"I believe you, you can do it.

"Thank you, Prince. I will definitely work hard."

"Miss Jiang, we are lucky to meet today. Why don't I treat you to a boat trip on the lake?"

Jiang Tunan was a little hesitant. This man looked innocent and harmless, so he shouldn't be in any danger.

Qi Guanming saw Jiang Tunan's alert look and remembered that his mother had embarrassed the eldest young lady of the Xiao family at the welcoming banquet not long ago. He guessed that Jiang Tunan was frightened at that time.

"Miss Jiang, don't worry. My boat is sturdy and reliable. There will be no danger. Even if there are any storms, I will definitely protect you."

Seeing Qi Guanming like this, Jiang Tunan could no longer refuse.

In her previous life, although she lived in the south, she had never been on a boat, so she felt a little excited when she thought about it.

Jiang Tunan was about to follow Qi Guanming, but Shu Yan stopped him in time.

"Miss, I'm out shopping today. If I come back late, I won't be able to explain to the Fourth Young Master."

Qi Guanming frowned imperceptibly, and turned his head to see Jiang Tunan thinking seriously.

"Miss Jiang?"

Jiang Tunan looked up and met Qi Guanming's gaze, then said to Shu Yan,

"What Yanzi said makes sense. Then, Prince, let's go back earlier."

Shuyan:? That’s not what I meant.

And why did he change his name again?

"Let's go, Prince."

Jiang Tunan walked in front with his head held high. Qi Guanming followed with a chuckle. When passing by Shuyan, he said,

"Tell Xiao Mingrui that I will go to see him in a few days to reminisce about the past."

Shu Yan had to retreat after receiving the order. After Jiang Tunan and Qi Guanming left, he immediately went back to the Xiao Mansion to report to Xiao Mingrui.

At that time, Xiao Mingrui was still preparing lessons at home. When he saw Shu Yan coming back alone,

"Why are you back?"

Shuyan replied respectfully,

"Sir, my cousin and Prince Qi are going boating on the lake."

Xiao Mingrui's pen paused for a moment.

"understood."

Shuyan was worried.

"Sir, will my cousin be in danger?"

Xiao Mingrui didn't even raise his eyelids.

"will not."

Shu Yan was about to leave when Xiao Mingrui spoke again.

"Have someone follow them and report their every move to me."

Shu Yan was puzzled, but he didn't say anything. The young master clearly said that the cousin was not in danger, but he still sent people to follow her. It was really confusing.

Jiang Tunan followed Qi Guanming to the lake. Jiang Tunan stared at the boat in front of him in confusion.

“That… is it?”

If she hadn't said that, he was a prince after all, but the boat he was riding on was so shabby.

Qi Guanming didn't pay any attention to Jiang Tunan and walked straight onto the boat. Jiang Tunan and Chunhua followed behind Qi Guanming.

Jiang Tunan entered the cabin and found that although the ship looked plain on the outside, it was actually a whole different world on the inside.

Jiang Tunan could see that all the furnishings inside were of great value. Even the cloth on the small table was made of better fabric than the one she was wearing.

"Miss Jiang, please take a seat."

Jiang Tunan sat down, and Chunhua knelt behind him.

"I didn't expect the prince to be so low-key."

Jiang Tunan started the awkward chat mode.

"I just don't like extravagance."

Jiang Tunan smiled awkwardly. There was nothing to talk about today.

Just as the two of them were looking at each other in silence, the boat shook violently and Jiang Tunan quickly fell to one side. Fortunately, Chunhua supported Jiang Tunan from behind. Qi Guanming also quickly stabilized himself and asked loudly,

"What happened?"
