When the news that His Royal Highness the Crown Prince and the Crown Princess were making a triumphant return reached the capital city, the people instantly became excited.
And when they heard that His Highness the Prince's carriage had arrived at Xuanwu Street in the upper capital, almost all the people, whether they were doing laundry, cooking, or feeding pigs, dropped what they were busy doing and rushed onto the streets.
For a time, the streets were empty and crowded.
"Why are there so many people?" Zhang Qingjiu twitched the corner of her mouth. Even in the carriage, she could hear the sounds outside.
"It doesn't matter." Chu Lan turned around and smiled gently, holding Zhang Qingjiu's hand.
The corners of Zhang Qingjiu's mouth moved, and he wanted to say something but didn't say anything.
How was she going to tell her? She learned from Feng Zhi what happened on the day of the engagement, and she also knew that she had made Chu Lan lose such a big face.
I originally wanted to go back low-key, but now this scene...
However, just when Zhang Qingjiu was feeling uneasy, several happy and proud voices came into the carriage.
"Sure enough, our princess is really capable!"
"Yes, if the Crown Princess hadn't known about Qiu Di's ambitions in advance and went to inquire about the enemy's situation, our army would have suffered heavy casualties."
"Isn't that right? The Crown Princess is willing to give up her engagement party for the sake of state affairs. With a woman like her, how can there be no role model for Dahui women?"
…
All kinds of things like this are endless.
As their carriage passed by, everyone, male, female, old and young, knelt down one by one, their voices full of respect and admiration.
Zhang Qingjiu blinked and turned to look at the man next to him who was reading a book with his eyes lowered and looking calm, "Chu Lan, what did they just say?"
Chu Lan didn't move, her eyes were still in the book.
The corner of Zhang Qingjiu's mouth twitched, and the bitch began to pretend again. If you didn't tell me, wouldn't I know that these words were 100% your handwriting?
"Chu Lan, look at me." Pulling the book in Chu Lan's hand, lifting Chu Lan's chin, Zhang Qingjiu looked into those deep ink eyes domineeringly, "Go ahead."
"Ahjiu." Chu Lan frowned, "I don't know."
Still pretending?
Zhang Qingjiu smiled, "No one deliberately released these words, they will spread it by word of mouth?"
Chu Lan's eyes flashed, "I just told Uncle Nine Emperors that you are coming back and let him see what the people in the capital have to say."
Zhang Qingjiu raised his eyebrows, "You mean, these are all lies?"
Chu Lan pursed her lips, and the tips of her ears turned red.
Zhang Qingjiu chuckled in his heart, and finally couldn't help but place a kiss on Chu Lan's lips, "Man, you don't have to be so cautious. I'm not afraid of anything when I'm with you."
What nonsense, if there was no idea from him, she would have written the words "Zhang Qingjiu" backwards.
Chu Lan's pupils shrank at the touch of a dragonfly, and then he pressed back the person who was about to leave, his movements frantic but extremely cautious.
Zhang Qingjiu had just acted on a whim, who would have known that such an action would cause thunder and fire from the sky and the earth.
After the dog man ran away last time, I don't know why, but he was so good that he didn't do anything excessive. Even last night at the inn, when the critical moment came, he pulled the quilt to cover himself, and then slept in his arms for the whole night.
night.
How come today...
This is a big crowd!
The occasional cheering outside made Zhang Qingjiu suddenly come back to his senses. He quickly stepped away and took a breath: "Chu, Chu Lan...don't, don't be here."
After waking up, Chu Lan's eyes were darker than ever before, and she stared at Zhang Qingjiu. Finally, she lowered her eyes and took a few breaths, then reached out to help her straighten the slightly loosened skirt.
In the car, which had regained its calmness, no one continued the topic of "Who said these words?"
After a long time, Chu Lan turned to look at Zhang Qingjiu, "Where do you want to go back first?"
"Huh?" Zhang Qingjiu was stunned for a moment.
Seeing her confused look, Chu Lan let out a smile, "I have already sent someone to notify the Wei Mansion. Your mother and Uncle Jing are both here. The Prince's Mansion..."
"I'll accompany you to the palace." Zhang Qingjiu answered bluntly.
After returning from fighting in other places, no matter who they were, they had to go to the palace to report on their duties as soon as possible, even if Chu Langui was the crown prince.
But the meaning of what he just said was obviously that he planned to send himself back first.
Chu Lan hesitated for a while, but finally nodded in agreement, and the two of them headed towards the Zhuque Gate together amidst the calls of the people.
However, what the two of them never expected was that as soon as they entered the Zhuque Gate, they saw a group of ministers wearing red and purple court uniforms lined up on both sides. The moment Chu Lan and Zhang Qingjiu appeared, they bowed in unison.
He stood up and said, "I, please greet His Royal Highness the Crown Prince and His Majesty the Crown Princess in triumph!"
Chu Lan seemed not to have expected the scene before him. After looking at each other, Chu Lan and Zhang Qingjiu both threw towards the end of the crowd——
There, two figures in golden dragon and phoenix robes with kind and gentle faces were looking at them with serious smiles.
Chu Wei watched the two figures coming hand in hand approaching him step by step, and endured it again and again, but in the end he was unable to hold back the excitement in his heart and pulled Murong Qingwan down.
Defu followed beside him, his anxious heart finally returned to his stomach, and they were finally back.
"I've met my father, the Queen, and my mother."
"I have met His Majesty, Your Majesty."
The two of them saluted and spoke at the same time.
Chu Wei helped Chu Lan up, and Murong Qingwan held Zhang Qingjiu, their eyes full of excitement.
Especially Murong Qingwan, whose eyes were red, took Zhang Qingjiu's hand and said, "Xiaojiu..."
Needless to say, Zhang Qingjiu knew how frightened he made these people, "Mother, it's my fault, I shouldn't..."
Unexpectedly, before Zhang Qingjiu could finish speaking, Chu Wei suddenly spoke in a low and serious tone: "That's right, it's just you who's wrong."
"Father?"
"His Majesty?"
Murong Qingwan and Chu Lan turned their heads at the same time, one with confusion on their face, the other with vigilance.
As if Chu Wei didn't see those two looks, he walked up to Zhang Qingjiu in front of all the courtiers.
Zhang Qingjiu gritted his teeth, okay, what is supposed to come will come, she did do something wrong indeed.
However, just when Zhang Qingjiu was getting ready to face the storm, an almost invisible laughter came from above his head, "Everyone at the door has already called you Princess, why do you still call me and the Queen your Majesty?"
Zhang Qingjiu was stunned for a moment and raised his head suddenly.
"???"
Murong Qingwan's heart suddenly dropped again. She gave Chu Wei an angry look and said, "What are you doing to scare the child?" Then she immediately looked at Zhang Qingjiu and whispered, "We are already engaged, and there are also
We're getting married in half a month, so it's time for Xiaojiu to call your majesty and me father, emperor and mother."
"Father, emperor, mother?" Zhang Qingjiu blinked.
This turn of events made her a little unresponsive.
"Yeah." Chu Wei raised his lips proudly and raised his eyebrows at Chu Lan, who had just looked at him with a deep expression.
Do you think you are the only one who loves this girl?
You can specifically ask Chu Xun to spread the word around the capital.
I can also make the civil and military officials directly change their words and tell them that this is his daughter-in-law recognized by the royal family!
In this case, who in the world dares to talk about that matter again?
"It's good to come back, it's good to come back." When Zhang Qingjiu called out the mother's name, Murong Qingwan couldn't bear it anymore, and two lines of tears fell from her eyes, "Come, let the mother take a look, we
Is Xiaojiu suffering again?"
"No, I'm fine." Zhang Qingjiu now understood why Chu Wei had summoned all the ministers here, and he felt indescribably moved in his heart.
Rebirth in another world, maybe God saw her pity and let her meet Chu Lan, right?
