Others don't know what happened in the palace, how can Jun Qinglan not know? The emperor did not dispose of Empress Zhang for the time being because of the fetus in her womb, once the prince landed, no one can say what would happen after that.

In this situation, she has undoubtedly become a thorn in the side of Prime Minister Zhang Cheng's house.

Zhang's family banquet, can you go?

The fifth day of the first lunar month is the last day of the Northern Summer Holiday. On this day, just after dawn, the door of Duanwang's Mansion was knocked again. The purpose remains the same, please come to the house. However, the candidate for the invitation has changed from the former subordinate butler to Zhang Qian.

Jun Qinglan never thought that the Prime Minister's Mansion would be able to make such a heavy investment for her, and let Zhang Qian personally invite her!

Zhang Qian is different from others, he is highly talented, down-to-earth and low-key. His personal ability and background are superior, and he is the only younger brother of the queen of the dynasty. In Yanjing City, his future is limitless. Although the queen is now out of power, the emperor has not publicly disposed of her, the queen is still the queen, so Zhang Qian is still Zhang Qian.

Let such a person invite, how to refuse?

Jun Qinglan has been thinking about it in her heart for a long time, but she still can't find a suitable reason to reject Zhang Qian. Li Congyao was recuperating from illness, and she also hid for several days in the name of serving King Duan, and this reason would be rotten if she used it again. What's more, it's Zhang Qian who came today? His persistence Jun Qinglan has seen it, if he doesn't achieve his goal, he can really live directly in Duanwang's Mansion and not go anywhere.

After thinking about it for a long time, Jun Qinglan chose to compromise. When she saw Zhang Qian, Jun Qinglan was taken aback. He waited in the porter, silently and without smiling. His gaze was gloomy, without the slightest hint of joy, and the beard on his cheeks had not been groomed for days, and was disheveled.

Such a haggard and melancholy Zhang Qian, where is he still the high-spirited noble family in the past?

"Jun Qinglan?" Zhang Qian's eyes stared at Jun Qinglan, and he didn't bother for a moment: "You came quickly." ”

His voice was calm, as if he had already decided in his heart that Jun Qinglan would appear, but he didn't expect her to come so quickly. The Prime Minister's Mansion invited Jun Qinglan several times to no avail, but he never thought that he would also sink into the sand. This kind of self-confidence and calmness is probably the most critical point that distinguishes him from the noble children next to him.

"Lord Zhang personally invited, Jun Qinglan naturally wants to put down the things next to him." If it weren't for you today, I'd probably still be very busy.

Zhang Qian hooked the corners of his lips slightly, and the two of them had something to say, and they knew each other.

"Let's go." Zhang Qian turned his body to the side and made a gesture of please: "How about inviting Lord Jun to share a car with me today?" ”

He came as if he was prepared, and made up his mind to stare at Jun Qinglan, and he definitely couldn't allow her to escape for a moment. Rong Han was about to step forward, but asked Jun Qinglan to stretch out his hand to stop him.

"Lord Zhang is a gentleman, since he can invite Jun Qinglan out of Duanwang's mansion, he can naturally guarantee that Jun Qinglan will return to Duanwang's mansion, isn't it?"

Zhang Qian's breath froze, but he still nodded slightly after a long time: "I once heard that you are ashamed to call yourself the pillar of the country in the Dingguo Mansion, although this is arrogant, it is not false. For a person who is useful to the country, I, Zhang Qian, naturally will not let him be harmed. ”

Jun Qinglan looked at Zhang Qian, and her eyes gradually became solemn. After all, he half lowered his eyebrows, Zhang Qian is a true gentleman!

Knowing that he and Zhang Fu were in the same situation, he was willing to let go of his personal enmity for the sake of the so-called national righteousness. Such a state of mind is admirable, and she ...... Can't do it.

"Ronghan, you follow the car on horseback. It is not rude to be a guest in the house of others. ”

Zhang Qian attaches great importance to affection, and she naturally can't be too bad. must not be rude, that is, to remind Rong Han not to act at will. Although Prime Minister Zhang Cheng is in a high position, he is a civil official, and there is only one military general in the whole government. If you really start to do it, I'm afraid you really can't withstand the hardships of tolerance. However, Jun Qinglan respects Zhang Qian, and she doesn't want to tear her face with the Zhang family as a last resort.

Let's save some face for each other.

Zhang Qian's eyes moved slightly, but he didn't say a word. It wasn't until he got into the carriage that he stared at Jun Qinglan for a long time before he sighed slowly: "Jun Qinglan, I'm really ...... I don't want to be your enemy. ”

Jun Qinglan hooked the corner of her lips: "I don't want to." ”

"Why do you want to ...... when you are so talented." Zhang Qian frowned, as if he felt that the next words were difficult to speak. After pondering for a moment, he still spoke: "Why do you want to stoop under a man and tarnish your name in vain?" ”

"Ahem." Jun Qinglan was choked by her own disordered breathing, and her honey-colored and moist skin was dyed with a thin layer of red because of excitement, and she actually radiated a different demeanor from the past.

Jun Qinglan knew that she was angry when she blushed. However, this scene was not like that at all in Zhang Qian's eyes, it was just that it was on her mind, and she was shy.

"You...... You...... I...... I. ”

"You don't have to explain it to me." Zhang Qian lowered his eyebrows: "As long as you don't forget your original intention of serving the people." As for...... Others have no right to interfere in the matter of bedding. Although there is no shortage of captive boy pets among the Yanjing nobles, it ...... After all, you can't get on the stage, and it's always not as good as a woman, if you have the opportunity, you should reconsider it and stay. ”

Jun Qinglan pursed her lips tightly. Counting it, this is the second time she has met Zhang Qian, is she already familiar with talking about such a private matter? In other words, what kind of bed, what kind of boy pet? Does it have anything to do with her? Does it matter?!!!

She took a deep breath, and she still had to have the self-cultivation she should have. Don't care, don't get angry, harmony is the best.

"Thanks for the reminder, I'm quite happy with my life now." Jun Qinglan tried her best to keep her voice steady and not agitated.

Zhang Qian glanced at her, and his expression gradually faded: "After all, it's your own business, that's all you say, Zhang won't say more." ”

Jun Qinglan squinted her eyes and ...... Do not say? She seemed to want Zhang Qian to say something, but she didn't want him to speak. They really don't know each other, and they always talk about men and women, so embarrassing!

Jun Qinglan didn't speak, and the atmosphere was really a little weird.

Fortunately, the Prime Minister's Mansion was not far from Duanwang's Mansion, and the carriage stopped without much effort, and Jun Qinglan didn't need to be greeted, so he got off the car by himself. She had never been so happy to arrive at the Prime Minister's Mansion as she was now, it turned out that talking to a gentleman was the most painful thing in her life!

"Jun Qinglan, I can only send you here." Zhang Qian stood on the high steps of the Prime Minister's Mansion and looked at her solemnly: "The person who invited you to meet today is not me, and someone will send you to her side next." As for your safety, there is no need to worry, I can get you here, and I will definitely be able to send you back. ”

"Thank you." Jun Qinglan's thanks are sincere.

There is no shortage of icing on the cake in this world, and sending charcoal in the snow is the most rare quality. Zhang Qian knew that he and Jun Qinglan were enemies, but he still tied her safety to himself. This kind of mind and courage is not something that everyone can have.

"Hold the pen, take Jun Qinglan to see your master." Zhang Qian only said such a sentence, and never looked at Jun Qinglan again. He had strode away without looking back.

Jun Qinglan's heart trembled, and her whole body was shrouded in an ominous feeling. Of course, this ominousness does not come from Zhang Qian, but from the woman he calls the pen.

The woman is upright and in the year of the letter, although she only has the posture of a middle-aged person, she has a detached temperament, standing with her hands tied up and inside the corner gate, and her whole body reveals a kind of inviolable fierceness. She had seen that person, it was the head of the two palace ladies beside Empress Zhang.

She...... How is it here?

Zhang Qian said that there was someone else who wanted to meet her today, could it be...... Empress Zhang?!

This realization made Jun Qinglan deeply uneasy, didn't it mean that Empress Zhang was grounded in Changxin Palace to raise a baby? She suddenly returned to the Prime Minister's Mansion, which was in ...... What to reveal?

"Your Excellency is polite." Holding the pen and bowing to Jun Qinglan, he squatted down and saluted, using standard palace etiquette, humble and thoughtful: "The queen has been waiting for you for a long time, please go with the slave." ”

"The tired girl leads the way."

Jun Qinglan's heart has gradually stabilized. What if Empress Zhang summons her? Since we are destined to take a walk to the Hongmen banquet today, let's go with the flow. Jun Qinglan is worthy of heaven and earth, but are you still afraid of facing life and death?

"Ronghan." Jun Qinglan turned to look at the eunuch who followed her: "The queen's status is noble, you don't need to be too close to me." Later, you only need to wait outside the hospital, and you will not be allowed to enter without a summons. Don't make mistakes. ”

The Prime Minister's Mansion is in full swing, and no matter what, let them grasp the handle in terms of etiquette. Rong Han is also a transparent person, as soon as Jun Qinglan gave an order, he figured out the trick, replied in a low voice, and followed the two of them far behind.

The speed of writing and walking is extremely fast, and I have never talked to Jun Qinglan along the way. After passing through the house, he gradually moved away from the central axis of the Prime Minister's Mansion and walked towards the southwest corner. I didn't stop until I walked in front of an old courtyard in the southwest corner.

"This is the family temple in the Prime Minister's Mansion, and Niang Niang is practicing in it now, please go in by yourself."

Jun Qinglan was taken aback. Empress Zhang not only returned to her home, but also lived in the family temple? In the end, she is the queen, although for some reason the emperor didn't even think about the flesh and blood affection and sent her out of the palace, but he never issued an edict after the abolition. No matter what, she is also the queen of the dynasty, and Prime Minister Zhang Cheng didn't even give her a decent courtyard?

Jun Qinglan faintly felt that something big was going to happen.

"Since Lord Jun has already arrived, why don't you come in?" Mama Fang opened the courtyard door and came out, far beyond Jun Qinglan and arched her hand: "Niangniang is very busy, please don't delay the time." ”

The two women sandwiched Jun Qinglan in the middle, one left and one right, and there was a posture that she would put her in if she didn't go in. Jun Qinglan sighed secretly: "Jun Qinglan meets the queen." ”

The sound of the wooden fish in the courtyard paused abruptly, and I faintly heard the woman's voice come in lightly.

Mama Fang retreated outside the courtyard gate with the pen, Jun Qinglan glanced at them, and sighed in her heart. These two people seem to be different from themselves to meet Queen Zhang, this courtyard is very small, and they can see the side at a glance, and it seems that there is no one to serve except for Mama Fang and the pen.

Now, both of them are outside, isn't Queen Zhang the only one in the house?

Summoned in private! What is Queen Zhang's idea?!
