Reborn to marry ex-husband's nemesis

Chapter 292
Han Zhan sneered: "Your Majesty is just joking, Mr. Hai is such a clean official, how can a humble official have the ability to talk about Mr. Hai."

Han Zhan was so upset that just now Hai Xiuyan stepped in and insisted on delivering the squeaky lanterns, but now he speaks in a strange way.

Hai Xiuyan also quickly smiled and said: "Young Master's words are wrong, I have a low status, and it is my blessing to be valued by the young master. Next time, if the young master wants to order my minister to go with me, I will be obliged to do so. "

The implication was that Han Zhan was Lord Hou, and he couldn't refuse even if he wanted to.

His Majesty heard the deep meaning between the two of them's words, looked sideways, glanced at Han Zhan and Hai Xiuyan, and smiled: "Why am I listening to you bickering? Are you taking medicine? Why don't I invite you?" How about drinking and going to get rid of anger?"

The two hurriedly said, "Don't dare."

Hearing this, Emperor Xiao was noncommittal, his eyes fell on Chu Zhi, and he smiled gently: "Is Fu'an going to put up lanterns?"

Chu Zhi paused: "It's just for fun."

"Since that's the case, then I'll go with you!"

After finishing speaking, he took the lead to walk to the shore, and the few people looked at each other, their brows twitching more and more.

Especially Chu Zhi, for some reason, his heart sank a little.

Li Quansheng's eyes flickered slightly, his smile was thick, and he became more courteous to Chu Zhi: "Master, please come here."

Chu Zhi had no choice but to follow Xiao Huang and walked to the shore again.

Emperor Xiao walked a few steps, saw Chu Zhi walking behind with his head bowed, and said with a smile: "What are you doing so far away from me... Come on, come forward."

Chu Zhi hurriedly said: "This is inconsistent with the etiquette and law, and my ministers dare not."

Even the empress can't walk at the same time as her majesty, she has to be half a step behind, this is the rule.

Xiao Huang said: "I've said it all, right now I'm outside the palace, don't pay attention to these things."

Seeing Xiao Huang's insistence, Chu Zhi hesitated for a while, but finally took a few steps forward, whether he was half a step behind Xiao Huang, Xiao Huang saw a slight smile, and no longer forced himself.

Han Zhan in the back frowned. I don't know why, His Majesty is so weird tonight. His Majesty is not very familiar with Zhizhi, so why would he be so amiable to her?Han Zhan felt a sense of vigilance in his heart.

His Majesty was so interested that he was going to set off the lanterns. The guards had already cleared the place by the shore. When Chu Zhi went this time, he saw no one from a distance.

"Bring over your lantern, let me see."

Chu Zhi looked at the lanterns behind him. One was given by Hai Xiuyan and the other was given by Han Zhan. Which one should I give?
Fortunately, His Majesty made his own choice: "That pink lotus lantern looks small and exquisite, and it's very good, just that!"

Chu Yan hurriedly held the lantern that Hai Xiuyan had given him over his head with both hands, and respectfully handed it to His Majesty.

Xiao Huang saw it, and said with a smile: "Master Xiao Chu, you don't need to be so polite, you have already said that you are outside, so it's fine as usual."

The lanterns outside are not as lifelike as those made by skilled craftsmen in the palace. They are exquisite and luxurious, full of nobility, but also have a special charm.

Emperor Xiao seemed to be quite interested in the lanterns outside, and sighed: "This lantern is very well made."

Li Quansheng understood, immediately called a young eunuch, and whispered to him: "Go and ask Mr. Chu where you bought this lantern, and you can buy another one that is exactly the same."

The little eunuch took the order and hurried to do it.

Emperor Xiao personally lit the lanterns, and Chu Zhi hurriedly said, "Master, this cannot be done."

Xiao Huang held the lantern and looked at Chu Zhi: "Why can't it be done?"

After finishing speaking, he handed the lantern to Chu Zhi: "Take it! Others want it, but they don't have the blessing."

Chu Zhi reached out to take it, and said, "Thank you for your kindness, Master."

Emperor Xiao smiled: "Go and set off the lanterns!"

Chu Zhi took the lantern calmly, made three wishes to the lantern, then opened his eyes, put the lantern in the water, pushed it lightly, and it floated away along the water.

Xiao Huang said: "You are calm and composed. If someone else is scared, you will be too scared to speak, let alone make a wish."

Chu Zhi smiled: "Master loves the people like a son, and is kind and gentle. If you have no guilt in your heart, why should you be afraid of it?"

"What a 'no shame in my heart, why not be afraid of it'!" Emperor Xiao sighed, "No wonder Concubine Xian praised you everywhere, and she said earlier that she would marry you to the crown prince as a side concubine, but now it seems that Concubine Xian has discerning eyes. .”

Concubine Xiangui wanted to tell Chu Zhi to be the prince's side concubine, it was a matter of years ago, this matter has already been suppressed, how could Emperor Xiao suddenly bring up this matter again when he is so good?
What's more, it was said in private before, but this time His Majesty personally told Chu Zhi, the person involved, it sounds a little subtle.

Just as Chu Zhi was about to speak, Emperor Xiao said, "It's a pity, the prince disagrees..." He said here, and then chuckled again, "Forget it, it's a good thing, I owe the prince a lot, and I can only do it in these things I will follow his will and make up for him a lot, if he is not willing, I can't force him to go."

Xiao Huang's words were not only for Chu Zhi, but also for other people present, to show his importance to the prince.

Sure enough, he said to several people: "You guys are all new scholars, and you are young and energetic. Now you are an official in the court, you need to support the prince a lot, so that you can win honor for the family and live up to my love for you."

Several people hurriedly said: "My minister obeys the order."

They walked around with Emperor Xiao for a while, and Emperor Xiao felt a little tired, so he proposed to go to Wangjiang Tower for a drink of tea. They went straight to the third floor and found a seat by the window, facing the Lantern Festival outside. The Lantern Festival is very lively.

Looking at the gifted scholars and beauties on the street, Emperor Xiao suddenly asked Chu Zhi: "How old is Fu An now?"

"Return to Your Majesty, it will be fifteen after the new year."

"Fifteen!" Emperor Xiao sighed, "After reaching Ji, it's time to get married."

Chu Zhi has always known that his marriage is not up to him, it is all in Xiao Huang's hands, now hearing what Xiao Huang said, his heart skipped a beat, could it be that he wants to marry him?
In the next moment, Emperor Xiao asked, "Do you have someone you like?"

Chu Zhi smiled slightly: "The subject girl has been separated from her parents since she was born, and now she finally returns home to reunite, she only cares about enjoying the warmth of her relatives, and never thought about it."

Although Chu Zhi was smiling, his eyes were clear, and Emperor Xiao's heart was dumb. Previously, the noble concubine Xian Gui had praised Chu Zhi for her beautiful appearance and was a heart-warming person, but now he saw that this woman was actually cold.

"You're right." Emperor Xiao nodded, "Since that's the case, it's good to marry later, and Chu Qing must be reluctant to let you marry so early."

At this moment, Chu Yan had the most right to speak, he hurriedly said: "Return to Your Majesty, my father has exactly this intention."

Emperor Xiao nodded and said no more.

At this moment, a group of men in black suddenly came from outside, and came straight to Emperor Xiao.

He shouted, "Emperor Dog, take your life!"

Suddenly, no one reacted, and the guards brought by Emperor Xiao started fighting with the man in black.

Chu Zhi was on Xiaohuang's right side. When the assassination came suddenly, she grabbed Xiaohuang and took a few steps back quickly, hiding behind.
