"Your Highness." Huo Wu pushed the door open and went in, saluting Chu Lan.
Chu Lan, who had already changed her clothes and put on her regular clothes, glanced at him and asked naturally: "She went back?"
"No." Huo Wu shook her head, "Ms. Xiao Zhang asked her subordinates not to follow. She will see for herself."
When she walked to the bookshelf and picked out a book, her fingers paused slightly. Chu Lan narrowed her eyes and said, "You actually listen to her now."
"I don't dare." Huo Wu's expression changed.
Just as he was about to say more, Chu Lan waved his hand and said, "After she reads it, I will send her back."
"Yes." Huo Wu knew that this would be the final result of the matter. He could just wait outside and there was no need to come over to announce this.
But somehow, he always felt that something was wrong.
"Still not leaving?" Chu Lan picked a book, walked to the table and sat down in front of the desk.
"Your Highness." He gritted his teeth and Huo Wu breathed out softly, "I feel that... Sir Xiao Zhang seems to be not right today."
Chu Lan's hand paused slightly as he was about to open the book.
When Huo Wu said this, she was also thinking about whether she should say it or not. She wanted to see Chu Lan's reaction, but she saw that he didn't seem to hear it and his eyes had already fallen on the book in his hand.
After hesitating again and again, Huo Wu continued to speak, "Just now, Master Xiao Zhang asked my subordinates if they thought there was someone in the sky. The subordinates saw that Master Xiao Zhang's face was solemn, and wondered if something happened while going to the Prayer Palace."
Chu Lan raised her eyes leisurely, glanced at him, and calmly ordered, "Go down."
Huo Wu's face turned pale and she gritted her teeth, "This subordinate is talking too much."
At this moment, a clear voice came from the door, "What did you say to make him unhappy?"
Zhang Qingjiu entered Chu Lan's palace as if he were in a deserted place, followed by Feng Zhi who looked angry, depressed but helpless.
"Your Highness..." Feng Zhi followed up panting, his face flushed, and he glared at Zhang Qingjiu. Why couldn't he stop her?
Chu Lan looked at the few people who suddenly appeared in the room, and there were some unexplainable emotions in her eyes.
The slender figure standing in front of him was wearing a white dress today. Maybe he had been running around for a day, and the skirt was stained with a lot of dust.
"Everyone, go down." Chu Lan looked away.
Seeing Chu Lan's reaction, Feng Zhi and Huo Wu couldn't tell what they were feeling, so they responded and retreated.
As for the word "du", a certain person would naturally not add himself to it.
Hearing the sound of the door closing from outside, Zhang Qingjiu curled his lips with satisfaction, approached Chu Lan carelessly, and sat down on the chair next to him, "Have you had dinner?"
Chu Lan's fingers holding the book trembled, "No."
"That's just right, you can ask them to get me a pair of bowls and chopsticks." Zhang Qingjiu curled his lips and shook his calves, "I'm exhausted from hiking today."
In her previous life, she was almost able to enter the highest realm of deduction master. Although she could not live for thousands of years, it was not a problem to live for hundreds of years. It was considered to be free from the limitations of ordinary people and different from the mortal body.
But now her body... In addition to her own foundation, now she has to eat when she should, sleep when she should, and be tired when she should.
His eyes fell on the book, but in the corner of his eye he could see unrestrained movements, and he couldn't hide the calves hidden under the white skirt.
Chu Lan sighed softly, put down the book after all, and turned to look at Zhang Qingjiu, "If you don't go back, Princess Shaoqing should be worried."
Zhang Qingjiu paused slightly and frowned, "Don't call her Princess Shaoqing, she doesn't like to hear it."
Chu Lan was startled for a moment. He called Chu Feng by his title out of respect.
"If you don't know what to call me, just call me mother." Zhang Qingjiu glanced at him and said clearly, and then said, "And don't worry, I specifically told her that I came out today to be the prince.
Mansion."
Chu Lan:......
Are you here at the Prince's Mansion? Why didn't you tell me that you had been hanging out with Uncle Nine Emperors all day?
Before Chu Lan could speak, Zhang Qingjiu suddenly turned his head, "By the way, what do you think about the construction of the Palace of Prayer?"
Chu Lan narrowed her eyes, "You and Uncle Nine Emperors went to the Palace of Prayer today. What did you find?"
This man actually pretended to be stupid with her!
Zhang Qingjiu took a breath and gritted his molars, "They say it was caused by rain and it collapsed naturally. I will report the nonsense to Your Majesty tomorrow."
"Yeah." Chu Lan frowned.
The word "false talk" is really skillful...
"I know you don't want to, and it's not easy for you to get involved in this matter, but as for the construction of the Palace of Prayer, I think you have to come forward." Zhang Qingjiu sighed, with a hint of helplessness in his tone.
Ever since she was exposed to all kinds of hardships in the court, she rarely showed such embarrassing emotions.
Chu Lan narrowed her eyes slightly, "Why me?"
"Who made you the prince?" Zhang Qingjiu said a little irritably.
After all, the Palace of Prayer is a holy place for the royal family. Chu Xun has made it clear that it must be repaired, and the ministers in the court certainly don't want to put it aside.
Even Chu Wei could listen to what she said alone, but after all, if they all spoke one word, Chu Wei would not be able to withstand the pressure.
Moreover, this matter was more serious than the fate-changing formation that happened to Chu Lan. She was still confused, so how could she talk about it casually.
This is a country, not a person.
"Ha..." Such blunt words made Chu Lan laugh.
Yes, he is the prince, what a simple truth.
Seeing Chu Lan's reaction, Zhang Qingjiu felt that something was wrong, but she couldn't think too much now, "It's okay to build the Palace of Blessings, but it can't be built there. It needs to be rebuilt somewhere else."
"Why?" Chu Lan raised an eyebrow, "Rebuilding is a waste of money and people, so why go to war in such a big way?"
Unexpectedly, the other party would question him like this. Zhang Qingjiu took a breath and curled his lips, "That place is not a feng shui treasure."
Forget it, just bear with it for now, after all, he doesn't understand.
"What do you mean?" Chu Lan's eyes were a little deeper.
You have to break the casserole and ask the truth, right?
Zhang Qingjiu gritted his teeth and said with a bit of irritation in his tone, "Don't you even think about it, if it was really a blessed place, where would something like that happen to me? Can Chu Kuo do such a good thing?"
She couldn't say certain things yet, so she had to use these excuses.
Anyway, in the end this prayer palace can no longer be repaired.
After a long time, Chu Lan slowly raised his head and said, "I can help you with this matter, but I have two conditions."
"What conditions?" Zhang Qingjiu narrowed his eyes.
"First, you are not allowed to interfere in this matter. Second, from now on, you are not allowed to enter my bedroom without my permission." Chu Lan stared at Zhang Qingjiu's eyes, and his eyes became a little colder, "
If you violate it, the only place you can find in the Prince's Mansion is the Stargazing Pavilion."
Zhang Qingjiu didn't expect that he would put forward such a condition, and couldn't help scolding him several times in his heart. But thinking of the urgent task now, he could only nod and agree, "Okay, I agree."
No matter what she says, it will be fine as long as the Prayer Palace is not repaired.
As for not letting her in? She's not happy to do so!
Let’s see who can hold on!
Although the conversation ended on bad terms, the Prince's Mansion would not miss Zhang Qingjiu's dinner.
But the atmosphere between the two people seemed particularly dull, especially when the maid brought a plate of "pear blossom cake" to the table, the air seemed to freeze for a moment.
Everyone could see that Master Xiao Zhang was angry.
It was night, Chu Lan looked at the curtain above his head, and couldn't fall asleep for a long time.
After dinner, Mu Qing returned to the room and asked him, "Since Mr. Xiao Zhang doesn't agree with the restoration of the Prayer Palace, why didn't His Highness tell her that he had this idea? With her help, wouldn't it be twice the result with half the effort?"
He could hear the confusion in Mu Qing's words.
But……
What Huo Wu said came to mind again.
She asked: Is there anyone in the sky?
This was the second person he heard such thoughts from besides himself.
