When they came out of the palace gate, the two happened to meet the crowd of people attending the morning court. Many ministers were stunned when they saw Zhang Qingjiu, who was dressed in women's clothing.
After coming back to his senses, he immediately came up to say hello with a smile, "Good morning, Mr. Xiao Zhang."
"Good morning, Master Zhang, Master Li, Master Chen..." Zhang Qingjiu held the brocade box in one hand and waved to the crowd with a smile on his face.
Chu Feng originally wanted to pull Zhang Qingjiu and ask her to leave with him in a low-key manner. After all, he was an official in the court and was not wearing an official uniform today, so it was inevitable that he would follow the truth.
But seeing the friendly faces and friendly attitudes of the courtiers who greeted them, I couldn't help but feel a little proud in my heart.
This is her daughter, the child of their Wei family.
"Where are Mr. Xiao Zhang coming back from today?" Knowing that Zhang Qingjiu does not have to go to court every day, someone couldn't help but come up to talk to him, their eyes and tone full of envy.
"My mother and I went to the palace to visit the Queen Mother." Zhang Qingjiu smiled slightly and held the brocade box in his hand a little higher.
Those people listened to her words, saw the proud smile on her face, and looked at the brocade box in her hand, and couldn't help but sigh in their hearts.
Why is it that comparing people to others makes people angry?
They would get into red-faced arguments over trivial matters in the court, and they might even fall short without telling them. They might end up unknowingly angering His Majesty, and they would have to live in fear with their heads tucked into their belts every day.
And she...
It was clear that the Queen Mother was not satisfied with her at the prince's birthday party some time ago, so why did she let her enter the palace with such swagger and prepare gifts for her?
Thinking of this, the few people couldn't help but smile at each other, and they all saw helplessness in each other's eyes.
One of them couldn't help but sigh, "No, I have to go find a fortune teller and ask when I will be like Mr. Xiao Zhang, no, half as lucky as Mr. Xiao Zhang."
"Yes, yes, I have to go and have a look. I also have to find a temple to burn incense and donate some sesame oil money." Several other people also echoed.
Zhang Qingjiu blinked, "You can come to me?"
Everyone: "..."
Someone was thoughtful and rolled his eyes, "Sir Xiao Zhang, what did you mean just now?"
Zhang Qingjiu: "Didn't I make it clear just now? If you want to know anything, you can ask me and I'll tell you."
"This, this, this..." When they thought of several things that Zhang Qingjiu had deduced, several people immediately became excited. How could they have forgotten that this person is very capable!
"Then Mr. Xiao Zhang, can you help me take a look?"
"And me and me!"
…
Suddenly, the already bustling entrance to the palace suddenly became noisy.
Zhang Qingjiu looked at the blushing faces of the people in front of him, smiled slightly, and shook his head, "Not now."
Someone frowned, "Why not? Didn't you just say that?"
Zhang Qingjiu raised his chin and said, "We are blocking their way."
When everyone heard this, they immediately looked back.
I didn't know this, and I was startled when I saw it. I quickly stepped aside and saluted respectfully towards the oncoming carriage, "I have met His Highness the Crown Prince."
Zhang Qingjiu just watched the carriage coming towards him, not hiding or avoiding it, his eyes were deep.
Humph, if she is not allowed to go to the Prince's Mansion, she won't go!
At worst, I just need to collect my energy outside!
Anyway, what she had gathered before was enough to last for a while. As long as it was not too difficult to deduce, she wouldn't lose her soul!
Anyway, see who can survive who!
Thinking of this, Zhang Qingjiu turned around and walked towards those people, "Well, if you want to deduce anything, just come to the Prime Minister's Mansion to find me. I will go ahead today and see you later."
After saying that, he waved and turned around to get on the carriage.
Several adults watched Zhang Qingjiu's carriage leave, with a look of reluctance on their faces.
Zhang Qingjiu's words just now really moved their hearts.
So much so that they didn't notice the person behind them.
until……
"Your Highness?" One person looked at Chu Lan who had gotten off the carriage at some point, and his face turned pale with fright.
They stood far away in the court hall. They could only see Chu Lan's back on weekdays, and there were no opportunities to curry favor with him. How could they have imagined that the Crown Prince would stand behind them one day.
After the salute, I was so excited that I didn't know what to say, but... why did His Highness the Crown Prince suddenly get off the carriage? Still standing motionless?
Look left and right, the middle is spacious enough, they don't seem to be blocking the road, right?
Fortunately, one of them reacted quickly, "The person who just walked over was Mr. Xiao Zhang. Mr. Xiao Zhang said that if we have any doubts, we can go to the Prime Minister's Mansion to find her. Mr. Xiao Zhang is really warm-hearted."
He thought that the reason why His Royal Highness the Prince came here was naturally not for them. Thinking of the scene that happened at the door of the Yizheng Hall, it was obvious who he was for.
There are three "Sir Xiao Zhang" in one sentence, but she has a warm relationship with these people.
Chu Lan narrowed her eyes, and the carriage slowly passed by everyone, and then stopped again.
They then watched His Royal Highness the Crown Prince get into the carriage again without any expression.
The carriage left, and the scene was completely silent.
Everyone, look at me, and I'll look at you.
"Well, we haven't offended His Royal Highness, right?" one of them asked.
"Are you offended? No, no, right?" Another person replied tremblingly.
"Then, who offended His Highness the Crown Prince?" Another one spoke.
The three people looked at each other, and a name came up in their minds:
"Master Xiaozhang?"
"Shh!" The three of them smiled tacitly, "Don't talk nonsense, we don't know anything."
On the other side, not only others were surprised by Chu Lan's behavior, Feng Zhi also felt that such behavior was worth pondering.
After all, His Highness is someone who would not say a word without negotiating with these courtiers in private. Why did he suddenly get off the carriage today?
Is it possible...
Feng Zhi's mind moved, but before his mind was clear, he had already spoken, "Your Highness, would you like me to catch up to Mr. Zhang's carriage in front of me?"
After a long time, Chu Lan's cold voice came from the carriage, "Do you want to catch up and call her aunt?"
Feng Zhi was so frightened that he almost threw away the reins in his hands.
Your Highness, I was wrong, I was really wrong!
You can punish me however you want, just don't use such a terrifying method to punish me!
In the carriage, Zhang Qingjiu sneezed for the first time.
Seeing her like this, Chu Feng couldn't help complaining, "Look at you, I told you to wear more clothes this morning, but you didn't listen. You're fine now."
"It's really okay." Zhang Qingjiu touched his nose and breathed out softly. Damn it, which bastard was so bold as to talk about her behind her back?
At the door of the Prime Minister's Mansion, a slender figure kept wandering, seeming to want to enter, but very hesitant.
Only she was wearing a gray gauze hat, making it difficult to see her appearance and her identity.
After getting off the carriage, Zhang Qingjiu raised an eyebrow, told Chu Feng to go in first, and then walked straight to the man, "Are you looking for me?"
Although the words were interrogative, the tone was very firm.
