Zhang Qingjiu's words were so true to the occasion that even the Queen Mother couldn't help laughing and said happily: "I have long heard that Mr. Zhang is very knowledgeable about things. With her words, the Ai family will feel relieved."
After saying that, he turned his eyes to Chu Lan and said, "Prince, it's not the Ai family and His Majesty who want to marry Ningxue to your eighth brother. It's really Mr. Xiao Zhang who said this, which is reassuring."
The smile on Zhang Qingjiu's lips twitched. Queen Mother Xie's face was really thick-skinned. Everyone could see that she had to shoulder the blame.
but……
Looking up at where Chu Lan was, Zhang Qingjiu blinked hard.
For your sake, I will take the blame. At worst, I will get it back from you later.
"Don't worry, Grandmother Royal. This is a match made in heaven. Naturally, my grandson will not stand in the way of God's will. Congratulations to the Eighth Emperor Brother." With all the eyes in his eyes, Chu Lan turned around, bowed respectfully to the Queen Mother Xie, and then said to the Empress Dowager Xie.
Chu Kuo nodded.
Chu Kuo, who had already known what happened today, nodded with a smile, his eyes and brows filled with pride, "Thank you, Crown Prince."
With the two major clans of Ying Gong and Zhen Guo Gong as his arms, he was in an invincible position among the military commanders, and Zhang Tailiu was paying attention to the civilian officials.
From now on, Chu Lan's title of prince will exist in name only.
Thinking of this, Chu Kuo felt so happy that he subconsciously turned his attention to Zhang Qingjiu, who was the first to stand up to support this matter, but found that she was looking straight at something at this moment.
Take another look, who else is it if it’s not Chu Lan?
Inexplicably, Chu Kuo's anger suddenly rose.
Shouldn't she...shouldn't she be in unbearable pain? She used to be the one who had to marry her life and death, but now...
You're still here flirting with Chu Lan? You just don't know how to live or die!
Perhaps the anger in his heart was too strong and his eyes were too direct, so that everyone at the scene noticed something was wrong with Chu Kuossi.
Thinking of Zhang Qingjiu's breakup of their engagement, the expressions of some ministers couldn't help but become playful.
Concubine Xie was shocked and quickly called her son twice.
"Ningxue is your cousin. We can be considered as close friends. How about we ask Mr. Xiao Zhang to help us figure it out, pick a good and auspicious day, and ask His Majesty to order your wedding." Concubine Xie said,
He also set his sights on Zhang Qingjiu.
What a great move.
Zhang Qingjiu curled his lips and said, "The tenth day of the lunar month in a month will be a rare and auspicious day for getting married."
Perhaps she didn't expect Zhang Qingjiu to answer so quickly. Concubine Xie was stunned for a moment, and her head swayed. "Is Mr. Li Chaoli, the Qintian Supervisor, here? Please help me with Mr. Xiao Zhang.
A month is too much, and I'm afraid I won't have enough time to prepare."
Li Chao, who was called by Concubine Xie, slowly moved out of the crowd. It had only been half a month, but the man in front of him had obviously changed a lot, and gray hair had grown on his temples.
The son who was originally sent back to his hometown fell seriously ill for unknown reasons. When he woke up, he became crazy. Three days ago, he slipped and fell into the water and died.
I received a letter from home and learned that my son's death was probably no accident.
He was heartbroken when his family suffered such a huge change, but he did not dare to think deeply about it.
Whether it's royal disputes or certain karma, it's not something he can control.
He had already made up his mind to retire and return home after one month.
But if it is true as the letter from home says...
Gritting his teeth, Li Chao raised his head and said, "Back to your Majesty, it is true that as Mr. Xiao Zhang said, the tenth day of the month will be a rare good day."
Concubine Xie was stunned again, with a hint of sullenness in her eyes.
She would naturally be dissatisfied after a month. If she really agreed to this time, how would the wedding be rushed?
The reason for letting Li Chao come out was firstly to change his life, and secondly to let Zhang Qingjiu know that what he said didn't mean anything, but why did he agree with it by opening his mouth?
"Master Li and Master Xiao Zhang think about it again, but there are other good days, so there is no need to rush for a while." Queen Mother Xie saw her niece's uneasiness, gave her a comforting look, and then turned her gaze to Chu Lan,
"Speaking of which, the Crown Prince has not yet married the Crown Princess. Lao Ba's marriage has been decided, but the wedding may not necessarily take place before the Crown Prince."
Damn, are you still talking about Chu Lan? Zhang Qingjiu was stunned for a moment, and just as he was about to speak, Chu Lan, who had been silent all this time, suddenly spoke, "Emperor Grandma, the eighth brother's wedding is an important matter for my great emblem, but it's not
It must be after my grandson’s marriage.”
After saying that, he turned his head again and said, "The Ministry of Rites always does things quickly. It only takes a month. You think you can prepare it?"
Chu Lan, who had stayed away from the incident, suddenly made a voice that shocked everyone at the scene.
When they came back to their senses, everyone was shocked to realize that this was their Crown Prince. Today was also his birthday party. Isn't this a little off topic?
Especially the Minister of Rites, whose name was called, was even more frightened and broke into a cold sweat.
This birthday banquet was hosted by them, so what is happening now? Being upstaged by the Eighth Prince is not an act of prestige.
He immediately touched his forehead and said, "If it takes a month to return to His Royal Highness, it will be too late."
Hearing this, Queen Mother Xie and Concubine Xie frowned at the same time.
Seeing that they were about to turn their finger on Chu Lan, Zhang Qingjiu grinded his molars, smiled sinisterly, stepped forward and stood beside Chu Lan, "If there were other good times, it wouldn't be impossible, but
This will be August 15th one year from now."
Chu Lan frowned slightly, but someone suddenly grabbed her sleeve, and she swallowed the words that came to her lips.
Lowering his eyes, his gaze passed over those slender white fingers, and the corners of his lips curved almost invisible.
Concubine Xie breathed a sigh of relief, "It's going to be quite good after one year..."
"But the noble concubine, Wei Chen has a rule that I want to confirm."
"Sir Xiao Zhang, please speak." No one interrupted her. Concubine Xie took a deep breath.
"The wedding will be held in a year. I wonder when the eighth prince's concubine, Wei Chen's sister Chacha, will enter the eighth prince's mansion." Zhang Qingjiu raised his eyes and asked.
After her reminder, everyone couldn't help but think of the Eighth Prince and his concubine, who was a young lady from the Prime Minister's Mansion and the younger sister of the now-famous Lord Xiao Zhang.
Listening to this, could it be that you want to get some benefit for your sister?
Concubine Xie was also stunned by this question. She pondered for a moment and then said, "According to the rules of Dahui, the wife comes first and the concubine comes second. After the wedding, she will wait until Ningxue returns to peace.
Send it to the mansion."
Although her tone was calm, Zhang Qingjiu still heard a hint of dissatisfaction and hatred in her words.
Yes, it touched her sore spot. After all, she was just a concubine.
The corner of his mouth curved, and Zhang Qingjiu nodded, "Weichen understands, but Weichen still wants to advise the empress that it would be better to rush this day than to drag it out, otherwise I'm afraid it won't be good."
After being provoked by Zhang Qingjiu again and again, Concubine Xie finally lost her temper and turned to Chu Wei: "What can be wrong? Your Majesty, I think that on August 15th next year...
"
At this moment, a loud noise came from the screen next door.
Immediately afterwards, there were exclamations from all the female relatives.
