Chapter 725: One Merit
However, Lu Manting insisted that Zhou Tianqi made a move to save her. Pen @ fun @ pavilion wWw. ļ½ļ½ļ½Uļ½Eć info is a bit far-fetched, but it's understandable.
However, Zhou Tianqi didn't want to have anything to do with her, which made Zhou Changan and Lu Qishan in the hall frown secretly.
"Thank you, His Royal Highness Prince Ximen for your help!" Lin Wan bowed to Ximen Yuqing, and with a light and light sentence, he immediately attracted all his eyes again. Especially Lan Ziling's gaze, which was full of resentment.
Ximen Yuqing smiled slightly, just nodded faintly, and walked back to his seat and sat down, as if he had always been just a bystander, just now he was just making an occasional cameo, not wanting to steal the limelight of the protagonist.
Lu Qishan looked at Zhou Tianqi inquiringly, and then at Lin Wan. I wanted to see some clues from their looks, but I didn't find any problems. Zhou Tianqi and Lin Wan didn't even glance at each other, let alone any expressions of concern. Could it really be that Manting is too sensitive? Is it really that she is too worried?
Lin Wan turned around and walked to Lu Manting's side, took her hand, and persuaded: "Sister Manting, although Wan'er knows that you and His Royal Highness the Seventh Prince have been close since childhood, Wan'er believes that you are innocent. Can you tell me what happened last night? So that the Queen Mother will not be so angry, so worried about you, and return you and His Royal Highness the Seventh Prince to innocence, okay?"
Lu Manting was stunned, she didn't expect Lin Wan to suddenly ask her about last night, and the reason she said was not allowed to refuse. From this morning to now, she has kept her mouth shut, only crying and blaming herself. The emperor and the queen mother couldn't bear to ask her again, they only felt that she was a victim and couldn't bear to let her be hurt again.
Zhou Tianqi didn't bother to let Lu Manting explain for him, so no one proposed to let her, the client, tell the truth of the facts.
Lu Manting couldn't avoid it, nodded slightly, and said in a low voice: "Yesterday, the emperor said that he would let me go to the concubine selection banquet of Xiling Kingdom, and I was anxious, so I couldn't sleep at night, so I thought about going to see how Brother Tianqi's injury was, and by the way, let him give me ideas." However, after I went to the Yichen Palace, Xiao Liu didn't let me in at first, saying that the Seventh Prince had already slept. Later, I said that I would just go in and have a look, and I wouldn't wake up the Seventh Prince, but he still wouldn't let me in. I was in a hurry, so I pushed Xiaoliu away and rushed in. I found out that Brother Tianqi was not in the dormitory, so I asked Xiao Liu, where did the Seventh Prince go? Xiao Liu said that he didn't know where he had gone, and he didn't know when he would come back. I didn't feel at ease, so I stayed there and waited. Later, I somehow fell asleep in bed, and when I woke up, I saw Brother Apocalypse taking off his coat and standing in front of me. I was so frightened that I pushed him away and ran out......"
Zhou Changan couldn't help but breathe a sigh of relief, nodded slightly, and said, "It turned out that it was really just a misunderstanding, just make it clear." ā
Lu Qishan frowned and looked at Lu Manting, with a lot of hatred for iron not becoming steel, and after a long time, he turned his head to Zhou Changan and said, "Your Majesty, although the misunderstanding has been explained clearly." However, Manting and Qi'er are not young, and you should plan for them as soon as possible. If you had given them a marriage earlier, it would not have happened today, let alone staged such a forced marriage drama in front of Prince Simon. ā
Zhou Tianqi suddenly raised his head and said coldly, word by word: "Imperial grandmother, do you also know that you are forcing marriage?"
"Presumptuous, is this how you talk to your imperial grandmother?" Lu Qishan stood up angrily, pointed at Zhou Tianqi, and asked Zhou Changan: "Your Majesty, look at it, this is the good son of you and that woman!"
Zhou Changan raised his hand and was about to reprimand Zhou Tianqi, but suddenly heard Lu Qishan mention Feng Xueyu, and couldn't help but swallow back the words that came to his lips. Putting down his hand, he sighed and sighed: "Qi'er, quickly admit your mistake to your imperial grandmother." ā
Zhou Tianqi didn't say a word, knelt on his knees, kowtowed to Lu Qishan, and said: "Imperial grandmother, grandson is wrong, grandson should not contradict the imperial grandmother, and it also affected the mother concubine." ā
Lu Qishan secretly regretted that she shouldn't have mentioned Feng Xueyu, originally she wanted to say that Feng Xueyu didn't teach Zhou Tianqi well, but she didn't expect that it would arouse Zhou Changan's apology for Feng Xueyu and Zhou Tianqi.
Zhou Changan sighed lightly and interceded for Zhou Tianqi: "Queen Mother, Qi'er has no mother since she was a child, and her temper is naturally stubborn, but her nature is not bad, please forgive him this time." ā
Lu Qishan didn't give Zhou Changan face in front of so many people? He had no choice but to nod, sighed, and said softly to Zhou Tianqi: "Qi'er, the mourning family also knows that the death of your mother and concubine has a great impact on you, so much so that you are almost fifteen years old, and there is not a woman by your side. Manting is the same year as you, you have grown up together since childhood, and your relationship has always been very good. The mourning family thought that it would be a merit to take advantage of this birthday banquet to finalize the marriage for your children. didn't expect to cause such a big mess. ā
Zhou Changan also nodded and agreed: "Queen Mother, for the marriage of these children, I am also very sad. Since Qi'er is unwilling, let's talk about this matter later. You can't really force them to get married, and in the end, you will provoke their complaints. ā
Zhou Tianzheng saw that the curtain had come to an end, so he slowly stood up and smiled flatteringly at Lu Qishan: "Imperial grandmother, you feel sorry for your cousin and seventh brother, and you want to promote their good deeds, but they still don't appreciate it." Why don't you save this thought, worry more about Zheng'er, and choose a talented and good-looking third princess for Zheng'er?"
When Lu Qishan heard this, she couldn't help laughing, and said angrily: "Although there is no concubine in your house now, there are many side concubines and concubines, how can you actually fight with your seventh brother." Besides, you are the best-looking and most talented of the princes, so where can the mourning family find you a woman with the same talent and appearance, and a status that matches you?"
Zhou Tianzheng hooked his lips and smiled, and said, "Thank you for the praise of the imperial grandmother, but it is not that such a woman is absent, it's just that my aunt doesn't agree." ā
Lu Qishan was stunned, and suddenly realized that Zhou Tianzheng was looking at Zhou Changying's mansion, and her niece Ning Wuwu, who had just met her, was the emperor's newly crowned county lord. In terms of talent and appearance, Ning Wuwu can indeed be regarded as one of the best in the capital, and in terms of identity and status, he is indeed worthy of Zhou Tianzheng, and there is also Zhou Changying, a big backer.
However, of course Lu Qishan would not respond to Zhou Tianzheng. Not only because, Zhou Changying had already greeted her early and wanted to stay in Ning for a few more years. What's more, Ning Wuwu is a descendant of the Ning family, and she must have a grudge against the royal family in her heart, how can she let Ning Wuwu be her granddaughter-in-law?
