Zhang Qingjiu came all the way from the palace and hurried to the city gate, but still hadn't caught up with Chu Lan's carriage.
Looking at the empty and clean entrance of the palace, where even a bird did not dare to rest when it flew by, Zhang Qingjiu couldn't help curling his lips.
I have seen stingy people, but I have never seen Chu Lan so stingy. Isn’t it just that I can’t understand it? As for why he didn’t even wait for her as promised?
He sighed quietly and was about to walk back when a carriage drove quickly not far away and stopped directly in front of Zhang Qingjiu.
Looking at the person coming, Zhang Qingjiu raised his eyebrows.
"Master Xiao Zhang!" Huo Wu couldn't help but smile and say hello to Zhang Qingjiu after getting off the carriage.
I went to see the twins born to my sister-in-law early this morning. When I was about to go back to the Prince's Mansion, I happened to meet General Huo coming back from the palace and muttered.
After hearing that "a woman was appointed as the supervisor of the Qintian Prison, and she taught those old scholars a lesson, her name is Zhang Qingjiu", Huo Wu couldn't wait for General Huo to finish speaking, and Huo Wu couldn't wait for it again.
Out the door.
As a result, just halfway through, he bumped into Chu Lan's carriage returning home.
She was so embarrassed that she didn't know how to explain her actions. Who knew that Chu Lan didn't pursue the matter and instead asked her to go to the palace gate to pick up Zhang Qingjiu.
"Why are you here?" Zhang Qingjiu narrowed his eyes, "Have you seen your children?"
"I've seen it, I've seen it, they're so good-looking." After saying this, Huo Wu couldn't help but feel excitement on his face, but he didn't forget his mission and purpose of coming here, "Congratulations to Mr. Xiao Zhang for getting your wish, Your Highness the Prince
Let me pick you up and take you back home."
"He has some conscience." Zhang Qingjiu snorted softly.
I was about to get in the car when I was suddenly startled.
"What's wrong?" Huo Wu was shocked when he saw that she looked wrong.
"It's okay." Zhang Qingjiu sighed quietly, got up and got into the car, "Take me back to the Prime Minister's Mansion."
She actually forgot to remind Chu Wei to tell Chu Lan about letting her move into the Prince's Mansion...
If I had known earlier, I would have avoided such a quarrel with Old Fox Zhang today...
On the carriage, Huo Wu looked at Zhang Qingjiu with such eager eyes that he almost took out his eyeballs and pressed them on her body.
Zhang Qingjiu endured it for a while, but finally couldn't bear it any longer, "If you have any questions, ask directly. Don't just look at me. You're not me. Let's see what you can tell."
Huo Wu was stunned for a moment, the corners of his mouth twitched slightly, and he coughed awkwardly.
If these words were said to others, anyone would feel that what he had just done was a bit rude, but why did he feel that the person in front of him was showing off?
But unfortunately, her expression couldn't be more serious.
"Lord Xiao Zhang, do you know that with this imperial edict, within three days, you will be famous for thousands of miles!" The more Huo Wu spoke, the more excited his tone became.
"Is this a good reputation?" Zhang Qingjiu raised his eyebrows, and there was a bit of distress between his brows. Sometimes being famous is not necessarily a good thing.
For example, it is difficult to do things.
"What's wrong with this?" Huo Wu is a passionate young man after all, with the great success he brought from those years on the battlefield engraved in his bones. He doesn't bother to delve into the deeper meaning of her words and can't wait to ask, "Today
How did you outsmart the ministers in the court and get His Majesty to issue such an imperial edict in one fell swoop?"
"It's just that their business capabilities are a bit broader than theirs." Zhang Qingjiu narrowed his eyes.
She was thinking about how she could keep the two things on her arms motionless before she could move into the Prince's Mansion.
Perhaps, developing a business is also a way. If you can't come back with one soul, you can at least use the energy of others to fill the gap.
but……
"If I get kicked out when I return to the Prime Minister's Mansion later, is there any way you can let me continue to stay where I was last night?" Zhang Qingjiu suddenly raised his head and asked.
Huo Wu was still immersed in what she just said about "business ability". She couldn't help being stunned when she heard this, "Isn't it possible? You have already shined on the lintel, and Prime Minister Zhang still treats you like that?"
Although he has seen Zhang Tailiu's attitude in the past few visits to the Prime Minister's Mansion, but now that his daughter has become an official, wouldn't he be really stupid if he does this again?
"He." Zhang Qingjiu chuckled, a trace of disdain flashed in his eyes, "If he looks down on me, can't I look down on him?"
The corners of Huo Wu's mouth twitched: Are you doing this on purpose?
"How about it? Is it okay?" Zhang Qingjiu turned around and asked again.
When he got down to business, Huo Wu pondered for a moment, "I have no problem."
"Don't worry, I will pay you the room fee when the time comes." Zhang Qingjiu smiled slightly and patted Huo Wu on the shoulder.
Huo Wu:……
This was not a matter of money or lack of money, it was just that something seemed inappropriate to him, and he had an inexplicable feeling that something would happen sooner or later.
At the gate of the Prime Minister's Mansion, Huo Wu had just sent Zhang Qingjiu off the carriage when a group of people came out cheering and cheering, with eager smiles on their faces.
Zhang Qingjiu glanced back, snorted softly, then turned to look at Huo Wu who was saying goodbye to him, "When you have time when you go back, please also advise your prince, don't be so stubborn, and don't think too much.
, it’s not bad for him that I marry him.”
Huo Wu looked at her back, holding in her hand the two safety buckles that she had given to her on the carriage that were meant for her nieces and nephews, and secretly made up her mind.
As soon as Zhang Qingjiu stepped into the Prime Minister's Mansion, the housekeeper Zhang Yuan came up to him with a slight smile and said, "Miss, oh no, Mr. Zhang, the Prime Minister invites you to come to Shenxing Hall to discuss matters."
"Is it Shen Xingtang again?" Zhang Qingjiu immediately retracted his raised foot, "Is he still finished?"
"No, no, no, no, it's not." Zhang Yuan was startled and couldn't say anything right. He quickly apologized to Zhang Qingjiu, "I don't want to punish you, I have other matters."
"Oh." Zhang Qingjiu narrowed his eyes, "Then let's go."
Zhang Qingjiu went back to the Prime Minister's Mansion, but Chu Lan, who had already returned to the Prince's Mansion, uncharacteristically did not go to the study after the morning court, but went directly to the bedroom.
Feng Zhi, who followed Chu Lan back, was cautious all the way and couldn't figure out why he had lost another round inexplicably.
Just as he was thinking about it, Chu Lan leaned slightly, but luckily he had quick eyesight and quick hands to catch him, "Your Highness!"
"Nothing." Chu Lan narrowed her eyes, pushed Feng Zhi away, and stabilized her body.
Seeing Chu Lan's face become visibly pale, Feng Zhi's heart also started to pound. He gritted his teeth and said, "Your Highness, I'm going to find her now!"
Unexpectedly, what greeted him was a cold shout from Chu Lan, "Who are you looking for?"
"Looking for Zhang..." Feng Zhi was startled, and the words he blurted out were stuck in his throat. His expression changed again and again, "Subordinate, I asked Shangguan Que to show His Highness."
"No need, just go down." Chu Lan sneered, waved his hand, and entered the palace alone, "Ask Mu Qing to come find me."
