Coming out of the Government Hall, Zhang Qingjiu held the imperial-given flag with a wonderful expression on his face.
However, there were many people who greeted Zhang Qingjiu in different ways along the way, with a warm tone and a familiar attitude.
"Master Xiao Zhang is really the reincarnation of a god!"
"That is, not only does it ensure that our great emblem is in good weather, but now it can also recruit talents for His Majesty."
…
They lowered their hands and responded one by one. In the short distance, Zhang Qingjiu was stunned to take one step forward and look back three times.
At the entrance of Zhuque Gate, Feng Zhi had already raised his neck and looked around, with obvious worry and anxiety on his face.
It wasn't until a familiar figure appeared in his sight that he felt relieved and quickly turned around to pretend that nothing happened.
When Zhang Qingjiu arrived in front of the carriage, Feng Zhi realized that she was the only one there, and immediately frowned, "Where is my Crown Prince?"
"I'm leaving with Your Majesty." Zhang Qingjiu sighed, threw the flag in his hand into the car, looked at the blue sky with clear layers of white clouds, leaned half of his body on the carriage, and sighed quietly.
.
"What are you sighing for?" Feng Zhi glanced at her. Don't think he didn't hear those people congratulating and flattering her just now. Why are you pretending to be a big-tailed wolf?
"Hey, what do you, a junior, know?" Zhang Qingjiu shook his head and sighed again.
Feng Zhi's lips twitched, and he originally wanted to retort, but seeing the glances thrown at him from time to time, he finally just snorted softly, turned around and got on the carriage.
As soon as he left the Suzaku Gate, Zhong Qingfeng saw the man looking at the sky from a distance, with his chin raised and a proud look on his face. He took a breath and couldn't help but shouted: "Zhang Qingjiu!"
"Huh?" Zhang Qingjiu raised his brows and raised the corners of his mouth as he looked at the young man walking towards him quickly with a look in his eyes that he wished he could get rid of.
"What a good trick. I never thought that Prince Jing would confuse such a witch like you." Zhong Qingfeng narrowed his eyes and his tone was a bit gritty.
Zhang Qingjiu nodded, "The method is indeed better than yours. After all, I have lived longer than you."
"You!" Zhong Qingfeng took a breath and was about to step forward again, but was stopped by Zhong Ling who came from behind.
"Lord Xiao Zhang." He waved his hand towards Zhong Qingfeng and blocked the person behind him. Zhong Ling looked at the woman in front of him who gave many people headaches, and the look in his eyes became more profound.
This time he did underestimate the enemy, but...
Thinking of what he was planning at the moment, how could he know that it was a blessing in disguise?
With a raised lip, Zhong Ling bowed slowly and said, "Congratulations to Mr. Xiao Zhang for receiving the flag given by His Majesty. It is really remarkable that a figure like Mr. Xiao Zhang is included in the emblem. We misunderstood the Kyoto Poetry Festival this time.
Please also ask Mr. Zhang, Mr. Zhang, if you have a lot, don’t argue with the younger members of the family.”
Even though they wanted to strangle themselves to death, they were able to lower their posture. It seemed that the Zhong family and his son deserved to be valued by Chu Wei. After all, with such shamelessness, they really were not part of the same family.
"The younger generation in the family?" Zhang Qingjiu smiled, "Your Majesty is more than five years old. Has he become a dog in these years?"
"You!" Zhong Ling didn't even think that he would be kicked away if he stepped up the stairs. His hot face instantly turned red, and his temples jumped.
When Zhong Qingfeng heard this, he couldn't bear it anymore. He immediately stepped forward, but was grabbed by Zhong Ling.
Taking a deep breath, Zhong Ling's eyes were as dark as a wolf: "Master Xiao Zhang, please take your leave."
After that, he took Zhong Qingfeng's hand and left without looking back.
Zhang Qingjiu looked at the two retreating figures and sighed quietly. The father and son were really better at pretending than the other.
"The matter is over, why do you have to offend them completely?" A faint voice came from behind, which seemed to be mixed with a trace of helplessness, but the tone was more like helpless doting.
Zhang Qingjiu curled his lips and said calmly: "These people are used to being aloof and show off their power, but how can people like Su Zijin get in their way? It's only been three years, to put it lightly.
"
"So you are complaining about Su Zijin?" Chu Lan frowned slightly.
Zhang Qingjiu was immersed in his own thoughts at the moment, and did not notice the subtle changes in Chu Lan's tone. He nodded self-consciously, "Can you not be angry about this?"
Angry? Chu Lan raised his eyebrows, looked at Zhang Qingjiu who was still sighing, got up and got into the carriage, "Feng Zhi, go back home."
"Drive!" Feng Zhi waved the whip in his hand.
gone???
Seeing Zhang Qingjiu's stunned expression, Feng Zhi couldn't help but curl his lips with a proud expression, but the movements of his hands immediately slowed down.
Looking at the carriage that was moving fast but obviously slowing down, Zhang Qingjiu was immediately happy after recalling his thoughts. He caught up with him and opened the curtain with bright eyes, "Is His Highness the Crown Prince jealous? Don't worry.
I only have His Highness in my heart and my eyes!"
These words were extremely explicit, but Zhang Qingjiu's face did not turn red, his heart did not beat, and he did not show the slightest hint of embarrassment or shyness.
When he met those sparkling eyes, Chu Lan's heart skipped a beat. When he came back to his senses, the only words left to dissuade and scold him were four words, "Blue sky and white sun."
"
Are you afraid that others will hear you say this and be embarrassed?
Zhang Qingjiu's heart moved, and he blinked his eyes in understanding, "Don't worry, I won't let anyone else hear it."
Seeing her serious look, the charm that had just risen in Chu Lan's heart was instantly washed away. He narrowed his eyes and said, "Sit down."
Knowing that Chu Lan was thin-skinned and very polite, Zhang Qingjiu immediately stopped and sat down obediently.
Unexpectedly, she sat alone and coldly all the way, and in the end the carriage even sent her directly back to the Prime Minister's Mansion.
When he entered Jianjia Courtyard, Zhang Qingjiu, who had thought about it all the way, was stunned but did not realize what the problem was.
Obviously...it was obvious that Feng Zhi initially took the direction of the Prince's Mansion?
It was not until many years later, when the same scene reappeared, that Zhang Qingjiu understood what Chu Lan meant by "blue sky and white sun".
But unfortunately, at that time, everything could not go back to what it was before.
