Slowly putting away the scroll in his hand, Chu Lan raised his eyes lightly and looked at Chu Xun's face of "angry for not fighting, sad for misfortune", "Why don't you dare?"
Chu Xun was stunned by Chu Lan's extremely calm retort, and Chu Xun's mouth twitched, "Then Su Zijin is someone who dares to compete with you in the court. He is not bad in appearance and talent, and he will have a bright future in the future. And
There is such a past between them, so you are not anxious?"
"Uncle." Chu Lan gave Chu Xun a steady look, "If you weren't my uncle, I'm afraid that if you say this, people will think that you are trying to sow discord between the prince and the new student."
After saying this, Chu Xun's eyes widened, his lips twitched with a sad expression: "You, you really...are you saying that I am nosy?"
Can you even say this?
Where is this kid’s heart? Was it dug out by that girl and taken away?
"How could that happen?" Seeing Chu Xun suppressing his blush, Chu Lan took a delicate orchid-lined teacup from the coffee table of the carriage, poured a cup of tea for both of them, held it up and smiled slightly, "But
Do you know that my Ajiu is not such a superficial woman who will be fascinated by talent and beauty?"
"What is superficial?" Chu Xun took a breath and said in disbelief, "You mean I'm superficial?"
He didn't even think about why the girl was so focused on running behind him in the first place. If it weren't for that face, he wouldn't believe that Zhang Qingjiu would pay attention to his sinister and iceberg nephew!
"I believe in Ah Jiu, and the emperor should also believe in Princess Shaoqing." Regarding Chu Xun's words, Chu Lan did not comment, picked up the tea and took a sip, frowning slightly.
It didn't taste as good as the cup Ah Jiu served me this morning.
"You kid, don't slap me with random hats." Chu Xun's fingers trembled, and a drop of tea in the cup fell on the back of his hand.
I don't know if it was because the car was shaking or because I was feeling uneasy.
Chu Lan calmly put down the tea cup in his hand and said, "If the emperor doesn't want men from the Wei Mansion to go in, he can go in and find out what's going on. There is no need to use me as an excuse."
Speaking of which, if Chu Xun didn't know his purpose and his nephew had already figured it out, then it wouldn't be called Chu Xun's nonsense.
Taking a deep breath, Chu Xun nodded, and said with gritted teeth every word, "You and that girl are really a match made in heaven. One is better at pretending than the other, and the other is better at speaking."
He finally discovered that although Chu Lan's heart was taken away by Zhang Qingjiu, he was afraid that her mouth was also carried on his body?
Just those words, killing people and killing people's hearts are nothing more than that!
"Thank you for the compliment, uncle." Chu Lan responded with a calm smile, "I will tell Ajiu about your praise for her."
Chu Xun: "..."
Feng Zhi sat outside and felt a gust of wind blowing by his ears. When he turned his head to look, he saw that only his Highness was left behind the hanging curtains.
It was obviously such a natural thing, but Feng Zhi felt inexplicably that Master Xiaozhang should be here at this time.
Otherwise, His Highness the Crown Prince would look a little alone.
Poor...
No, you shouldn’t call her Mrs. Xiao Zhang anymore. She has really become their crown princess.
Thinking of this, Feng Zhi couldn't help but curl up his lips, and the carriage in his hand also drove more cheerfully.
No one knew that after the carriage curtain fell, His Royal Highness the Prince, who was as gentle as jade in the carriage, tightened his fingers holding the tea cup little by little, and the smile at the corner of his mouth disappeared little by little.
Finally, it completely disappeared.
In the Wei Mansion, Zhang Qingjiu opened the door and went in. Unexpectedly, he saw Su Zijin, who was wearing white clothes. He turned around suddenly when he saw him standing in the room.
The young boy who was as thin as a piece of paper and was uneasy when meeting people has transformed into a talented young man who is known by word of mouth in the capital today. He is handsome and handsome.
Although he is still dressed in white, his temperament is completely different.
When Su Zijin saw Zhang Qingjiu, he couldn't help but feel happy, and was about to step forward, but soon he seemed to have thought of something, and suddenly paused and bowed respectfully, "Mr. Xiao Zhang."
"Su is ranked second on the list." Zhang Qingjiu smiled slightly, "Long time no see. Congratulations on your title on the gold list."
Su Zijin was stunned for a moment, with a flash of bitterness in his eyes. He saw her in the main hall just yesterday, but what she said was that she hadn't seen him in a long time.
Is she telling herself that she was actually arrogant in the situation yesterday?
"Thank you so much, Mr. Xiao Zhang." Su Zijin took a deep breath and bowed again, "I dare not forget Mr. Xiao Zhang's care that day. If it weren't for Mr. Xiao Zhang's encouragement, the student would not be where he is today."
"Whether this day will happen or not is not up to you, nor is it up to me. Just like what I told you that day, everyone has their own destiny, and what is supposed to come will always come." Zhang Qingjiu smiled lightly.
, stepped forward and sat down.
This is the second time I heard this.
The first time was at the Prime Minister's Mansion. It was the time he went to express his gratitude after the Kyoto Poetry Festival.
That time, she showed him new life.
And this time...
The emotion in his eyes changed from joy to loss, from loss to indifference, and finally he was pulled out of memories.
Su Zijin nodded, "Today, Zijin understands what Lord Xiaozhang means. Although Lord Xiaozhang is broad-minded and does not ask for anything in return, Zijin also said that day that this kindness must be repaid with a ring of grass.
…”
At the end of his speech, Su Zijin became obviously serious, but before he could finish speaking, he was interrupted by Zhang Qingjiu.
"How big a reward is considered a reward?" Zhang Qingjiu raised an eyebrow, looked at his puzzled look, sneered, and raised his hand, "You have already paid it back."
"Not yet..." Su Zijin was anxious.
"You proposed to me in public in the court, so that His Highness the Crown Prince said those words in front of everyone. To me, it is far better than having a ring tied with grass." Zhang Qingjiu put away the smile on his face and looked serious.
road.
In fact, she never expected that Su Zijin would bring such changes to Chu Lan.
She also didn't expect that Su Zijin's talk about knotting grass and holding a ring would actually have such a causal effect on her.
Now it seems that this is the end of karma between him and himself.
Hearing what Zhang Qingjiu said, Su Zijin was slightly startled and felt inexplicably panicked.
It seemed that from now on, she and I would never interact again.
In a hurry, Su Zijin couldn't help blurting out, "Do you really want to marry the prince? Do you really love him?"
After he finished asking, Su Zijin realized what he had said, and was stunned for a moment in embarrassment.
Zhang Qingjiu was also stunned. This was the first time someone asked him whether he loved Chu Lan or not.
A strange atmosphere began to spread in the air. Su Zijin's face changed again and again, and finally he clenched his fists and said, "Sorry, I..."
"Yes, of course I love him." Zhang Qingjiu chuckled and looked at Su Zijin with certainty.
Of course she loves Chu Lan, how could she not love Chu Lan?
