In fact, Zhang Yanqing is far more nervous now than Chu Tianjiao imagined.
He had already received news about what happened on the grassland, and about Qiu Yuchou's arrest. Zhang Yanqing had already guessed that the matter might have been exposed. Knowing that He Lanji and Chu Tianjiao would not let him go, he had already made preparations.
.
However, when he heard the eunuch's announcement that the prince and princess had arrived, he felt helpless disappointment and resentment in his heart.
Taking such a huge risk and ordering someone to put the bloody pill into their porridge, the two of them had nothing to do now. How could Zhang Yanqing not be disappointed or angry with this result?!
It's because the medicine didn't take effect, or they didn't drink the porridge at all, or maybe this little girl found out...
Countless questions and speculations rushed into Zhang Yanqing's mind at the same time, but he could only lie on the ground and kowtow to the Queen Mother's coffin to hide his nervousness and anger.
At this time, He Lanji had also finished the ceremony, walked to the right side of the coffin and knelt down.
According to the rules, Chu Tianjiao should go behind the curtain to keep vigil with the other female family members, exchange glances with He Lanji, and then she should follow the palace maid behind. As soon as she took a step, she felt the hem of her robe sink.
At this time, I heard a young voice calling, "Sister, sister, give me a hug!"
She turned around in confusion, and saw that the little prince Helan Jiayin, who was originally held by the wet nurse, had run to her feet at some point, with his little face raised, and he was stretching out a chubby hand with a small fleshy dimple on the back.
The palms of his hands grasped the hem of her skirt.
"Little prince, let the princess go!" the little prince's nanny said softly, and stretched out her hand towards the little guy's hand holding Chu Tianjiao's skirt. She didn't dare to use force, she just shook it gently and raised it.
He stood up and showed an apologetic smile to Chu Tianjiao, "Princess, don't blame me!"
Helan Jiayin completely ignored the nanny's dissuasion. She just raised her little face and stared at Chu Tianjiao with her big eyes that looked like dewy grapes. She kept saying, "Sister, give me a hug..."
Looking at the little guy's cute and delicate face, Chu Tianjiao's heart moved, so he simply bent down and picked him up from the ground, walked over to He Lanji and sat down next to him.
She held the prince in her arms and sat next to He Lanji. Although the palace officials felt it was inappropriate, they did not dare to persuade her, so they left her alone.
Raising his hand to pinch the little guy's soft face, Chu Tianjiao raised his hand to point at He Lanji and asked deliberately, "I call my sister, then who is he?!"
