An envoy from Qiu Di State came to visit, which was the first time since the founding of Dahui.
When hearing the news, the court instantly became excited.
Although many people suspected that the purpose of Qiu Di's visit this time was impure, it was a matter of two countries. How could it be decided in a few words just because of the obvious disadvantages? After all, it was scheduled to summon Qiu Di's envoy ten days later.
The war between the two countries was naturally handled by Honglu Temple, but due to the seriousness of the matter, it was recommended by the officials in the court, and ultimately the prince Chu Lan took charge of the overall situation.
Although Chu Wei didn't want Chu Lan to work hard, he thought about it and finally agreed. However, after it was over, he summoned Zhang Qingjiu into the palace.
"I heard that you have been living in the Prince's Mansion during this period? How is the Prince treating you now?" In the imperial study room, Chu Wei, who had to hold a chair all the time, saw that there was no trace of restraint on Zhang Qingjiu's face, and he felt very moved in his heart.
Inexplicably, I felt a little more relaxed.
"What are your Majesty's expectations?" Zhang Qingjiu smiled slightly and turned to Chu Wei.
Chu Wei was stunned for a moment when he was asked, and couldn't help but smile, "I really hope that your relationship with the prince can take a further step."
Is this little girl still doubting his sincerity?
Although Chu Lan does not appear in front of him every day like in the past, and although he still looks depressed in front of others, as a father, how can he not see that the light in his eyes is getting brighter and brighter?
Zhang Qingjiu raised his eyebrows and curled his lips, "If His Majesty hadn't summoned His Highness the Crown Prince to the palace last night, perhaps he would have been able to go a step further."
Hearing these words, Chu Wei suddenly became happy, "Have I become a stumbling block between you in terms of feelings?"
"Weichen didn't say this." Zhang Qingjiu turned around and glanced at Chu Wei.
You didn’t say this, but except for your mouth, which part of your eyebrows, eyes, nose, and mouth are not expressing this meaning?
Thinking about the tangled and helpless look in Chu Wei's eyes last night when he asked Chu Lanzhang if Qingjiu had disturbed him in the Prince's Mansion, although his son said that there was nothing serious, Chu Wei was completely relieved.
.
Who hasn't been young and frivolous yet, but they just don't want to admit it?
When the time is ripe, the melon will naturally mature and fall off.
"Actually, from my observation, the prince treats you differently now." Chu Lan narrowed her eyes and said seriously.
"This humble minister also knows." Zhang Qingjiu sighed faintly. If he had continued as before, how could he have appeared again and again in times of crisis, and once and twice, he had teased her?
It’s not that I don’t feel anything.
"Then why are you still feeling so uncomfortable?" Chu Wei originally thought that she didn't know, so he thought of reminding her, but since she knew, she shouldn't be happy?
"It's the most uncomfortable thing to be neither up nor down." Zhang Qingjiu frowned, and his words were a little more depressed.
If it doesn't make any sense at all, then just reject it and just keep working hard.
But you clearly have something in mind, but you still want to refuse. What should you do?
Seeing Zhang Qingjiu's depressed look, Chu Wei couldn't help but feel dumbfounded. He thought that it would be better for them to resolve their children's matters themselves. After all, wasn't this how he and the Queen came to be?
Smiling, Chu Wei said, "It was really an emergency when we asked the prince to enter the palace last night..."
"About the visit of envoys from foreign countries." Zhang Qingjiu raised his eyebrows.
"You know?" Chu Wei was slightly startled. He looked at Zhang Qingjiu's calm expression before he came back to his senses, smiled and nodded, "Today, all the officials in the court recommended the prince to be the person in charge of this matter.
Man, what do you think?"
"Your Majesty has agreed, so of course you have no words to say." Zhang Qingjiu glanced at Chu Wei and said straightforwardly.
Hearing this, Chu Wei frowned instantly, "What do you mean by this is that the prince should not take over this matter?"
"That's not the case." Zhang Qingjiu narrowed his eyes, "The visit of Envoy Qiu Di this time will not be simple, but...good fortune lies in the presence of misfortune, and misfortune lies in the presence of good fortune."
"Can you be more specific?" Chu Wei was startled.
"There will be a good result, but the process will inevitably be tortuous." Zhang Qingjiu looked at Chu Wei deeply, "Your Majesty's decision is crucial in this matter."
"What decision should I make?" Chu Wei asked.
"Trust." After Zhang Qingjiu said these two words, he stood up, "Your Majesty, as long as you maintain trust, all crises will be solved and all your wishes will come true."
After considering these two words in his mind several times, Chu Wei took a deep breath and said, "Can you explain it more clearly?"
Zhang Qingjiu smiled slightly: "Your Majesty has worked hard for many years, and I believe that Your Majesty can make the right decision."
Seeing the smile on her face, Chu Wei was stunned for a moment, then understood, and couldn't help but sigh, "You little girl really has a heart with seven orifices. That's all. I won't ask any more questions. You can go back."
Bar."
Returning to the Prince's Mansion from the palace, as soon as he entered, he was met by Huo Wu, "Sir Xiao Zhang, His Royal Highness is waiting for you in the study."
"Okay." Zhang Qingjiu smiled slightly and blinked, "Do you think His Highness the Crown Prince will miss me like crazy if he doesn't see me for a day?"
Hearing this, Huo Wu's steps almost slipped, and she couldn't help laughing and whispered: "I don't know whether it is true or not, but after His Highness the Crown Prince came back, he asked his subordinate, Mr. Xiao Zhang, what he was doing. He learned that
Mr. Xiao Zhang was summoned to the palace by His Majesty, and it seems that he is indeed not as happy as he was at first."
When Zhang Qingjiu heard this, he instantly became happy and curled up his lips: "I understand."
Hanging around and seeing each other every day finally had some effect.
but……
"What does Your Majesty want from you?" In the study, Chu Lan looked at the woman who looked straight at him after entering, and couldn't help but cough slightly.
"Ask me if Qiu Di's visit will have a good outcome." Zhang Qingjiu sat down generously and went into the palace. He felt his mouth was dry and he got up and went over to pour himself a cup of tea. He was about to drink it.
At that time, he was called by Chu Lan.
Zhang Qingjiu didn't know what was going on and frowned, "You're not going to let me drink a cup of tea just because I went to the palace without telling you, right? Or do you want to drink this tea?"
With that said, he put the tea on the table.
Chu Lan's eyes darkened and he glared at her, "Feng Zhi, change the tea."
Feng Zhi was already waiting at the door with a pot of brewed tea. Hearing this order, he immediately felt like he was being pardoned. He took the tea cup from Zhang Qingjiu's hand, who looked stunned, and whispered: "It's
It’s cold.”
After saying that, he gave her another cup of tea at a moderate temperature.
When he turned to leave, Feng Zhi turned to look at Zhang Qingjiu, with an almost invisible curve at the corner of his mouth.
In fact, this woman doesn't seem to be that smart.
Did she forget that a few days ago, she drank a pot of cold tea and felt uncomfortable for half a day, and her Highness looked worried?
After that incident, wherever she appeared, there was never a pot of cold tea in the prince's mansion.
If she hadn't been away from the house for half the day today, he wouldn't have had to wait outside with a pot of tea from time to time, right?
Looking at the tea in his hand, Zhang Qingjiu took a long time to recover and subconsciously blurted out, "Chu Lan, if you don't want me to drink cold tea, just say so."
Chu Lan's eyes flashed, and she slowly turned away from her naked gaze: "What do you think of Qiu Di's visit?"
The tea in his hand paused for a moment, Zhang Qingjiu put down the tea cup, looked at the man with his back to him seriously, and slowly stood up, "Your Highness, you will trust Wei Chen, right?"
This was said without any warning, and seemed to have nothing to do with the previous question.
