It was something that was tacitly understood at first, but in the end it naturally ended in the way Zhang Qingjiu expected.
When she went to court, she specially smiled at Zhangtai Liuzuo and said, "Thank you, Prime Minister, for speaking up."
Seeing this scene, Duke Zhen Guo glared at Zhang Tailiu fiercely, said angrily, "A raccoon dog of the same kind" and walked away.
Zhang Tailiu's mouth twitched and he didn't react for a long time.
When he came back to his senses, Zhang Qingjiu was nowhere to be seen around.
Thinking that from today on, he could interact with Chu Lan openly and go to court as he pleased, Zhang Qingjiu felt so happy that his steps were much lighter than usual.
To say this was the happiest thing for her in this other world.
Unfortunately, some people can't see how good she is.
Zhang Qingjiu, who had just left the palace gate and was about to catch another ride, was stopped by someone.
"Master Xiao Zhang." Chu Kuo looked at the woman in front of him with a gloomy look, looking around obviously looking for someone. Chu Kuo felt angrier than ever before.
"What are you doing?" Zhang Qingjiu raised his eyebrows and his eyes were cold, "Is something wrong?"
Chu Kuo was startled, then realized that he had blocked her path unknowingly, but he didn't even think clearly about what he was going to do.
"It's okay, I'm leaving." Zhang Qingjiu rolled his eyes unceremoniously.
Chu Kuo took a breath: "Are you trying to attract my prince's attention in this way?"
Zhang Qingjiu paused for a moment before turning his head, with a puzzled look on his face. He looked up and down at the person in front of him, and said in a contemptuous tone: "Eighth Prince, do you have any misunderstandings about your own knowledge?"
"You!" Chu Kuo's eyes turned cold, "Why didn't this prince realize that you are such a sharp-tongued woman before?"
"I didn't realize that the prince like you is so petty." Zhang Qingjiu said.
With Chu Kuo's status, except for His Majesty, this would be considered treacherous to anyone, but Zhang Qingjiu said it so righteously.
Chu Kuo couldn't help but laugh, "You are not afraid of death. Do you really think that now that you have been granted the title of official prince, there will be nothing you can do about it?"
Zhang Qingjiu glanced at him and looked up at the sky. When I had no name or status, I didn't see you doing anything to me.
Forget it, I'd better not say this to avoid jumping over the wall in a hurry.
Zhang Qingjiu's indifferent expression made Chu Kuo feel as uncomfortable as if he had been scratched by a dog. He suddenly thought of something and couldn't help but laugh, "Are you plotting against the prince now?"
Zhang Qingjiu raised his eyebrows and looked at him again.
Chu Kuo was surprised and knew that he had guessed correctly.
But there was no joy of guessing in his heart, "If you think that everything will be fine if you follow Chu Lan, then I would like to advise you not to have such wishful thinking. If you don't say whether he will marry you, even if he marries you, you will not
It’s just a life of widowhood.”
He said this so proudly and confidently that he didn't realize that there were some things he couldn't say.
Zhang Qingjiu's eyes widened and he pretended to be surprised: "Being a widow?"
It seems that she guessed well and Chu Kuo really knew something.
"Yes, I am a widow." Chu Kuo showed a hint of ridicule at the corner of his mouth, thinking that she was scared. He walked closer to Zhang Qingjiu, lowered his head to her ear and blew lightly, "What, are you scared? You
If you ask me for help now, I might be kind enough to give you a concubine."
At this moment, a vaguely angry voice sounded from not far away, "Master Xiao Zhang, so you are here!"
Zhang Qingjiu twitched the corner of his mouth. He had been looking for him for so long. He didn't show up earlier and later, but he showed up at this time.
The carriage parked firmly next to it, who else could it be besides Prince Chu Lan?
Sighing, Zhang Qingjiu waved his hand, "Wait a minute, I'll be here soon."
When Feng Zhi saw her reaction, he was so angry that he almost ran away, turned around and jumped back into the carriage.
This woman is really careless. His Highness personally ordered him to turn around and pick her up. He didn't know how to come over quickly, but he still got entangled with His Highness the Eighth Prince!
"What? Why don't I, the prince, send you back and talk to Mr. Zhang by the way..."
"Eighth Prince." Zhang Qingjiu leaned closer to Chu Kuo's ear.
In an instant, a special fragrance belonging to a girl came from the tip of Chu Kuo's nose. It was indescribably refreshing and made people want to get closer.
However, what happened next was like Shura's knife, cutting people's hearts and minds inch by inch.
"Do you believe it, if I marry you, it will be easier to be a widow?"
Slowly leaving Chu Kuo, watching the expression on his face change from pride to shock, and finally to anger, Zhang Qingjiu curled his lips and waved his hand, "Let's go, see you later, my... good brother-in-law."
"Come on, come on, let's go." Zhang Qingjiu smiled and waved to Feng Zhi.
She was wearing a court dress today, which was much more flexible than a skirt. She got into the carriage with great enthusiasm and smiled so proudly.
"Drive!" As the coachman shouted, the Shura field that was bustling just now was instantly filled with chicken feathers.
Chu Kuo looked at the departing carriage with a strange and unpredictable look in his eyes, and a hint of a sinister smile appeared at the corner of his mouth.
OK, she is really brave!
One day, he will make her kneel in front of him and beg to marry her!
"Didn't you leave? Why did you come back?" In the carriage, Zhang Qingjiu blinked and looked at the man in front of him who was drinking tea calmly.
His fingers were slender and as smooth as jade. When he gently held the teacup as thin as cicada wings, as the curtain gently swayed, the bright and dark shadows seemed to have a little starlight falling on it.
Feng Zhi curled his lips, thinking who would want to come back, "If His Highness hadn't asked me..."
"Feng Zhi." Put down the tea cup in his hand, Chu Lan raised his head slowly, "I forgot something, come back and take a look."
"Oh." Zhang Qingjiu nodded clearly.
Love doesn't come to her, it comes to her...
wrong!
In a daze, Zhang Qingjiu came back to his senses.
Did this man just say that she was a thing? No, she was not a thing... Bah! He was not a thing!
Zhang Qingjiu's eyes widened and he wanted to say something, but found that if he really answered the call, he would be wrong in every way. In the end, he drank the tea in the cup in anger.
"Niuyin!" Feng Zhi, who was pouring tea at the side, snorted softly.
Zhang Qingjiu: "When will you change your name?"
Feng Zhi:……
He might as well serve tea.
"Why did you put so much effort into doing this?" Slowly putting down the tea cup in his hand, Chu Lan calmly raised his head.
Zhang Qingjiu said: "Are you asking me whether I must go to your house or if I can't go to court?"
Pausing her fingers slightly, Chu Lan narrowed her eyes and said, "You don't avoid your thoughts at all."
How can people in this court tell the truth so easily? Even if their hearts are guessed, they have to keep their mouth shut.
"What do you and I need to avoid?" Zhang Qingjiu snorted softly, his eyes a little confused, as if what Chu Lan just said was incomprehensible.
Chu Lan was slightly startled, knowing clearly that she didn't mean what she meant, but she felt an indescribable feeling in her heart.
Out of nowhere, Chu Lan asked, "Then you and Lao Ba just..."
