The old queen mother smiled when she heard this, "You bastard, you know what's interesting. Forget it, for the sake of the genius, the Ai family won't care about you!"
Hearing the old queen mention him, Chu Tianjiao hurriedly let go of her arm and said, "Tianjiao pays homage to the emperor!"
"We are all one family, no need to be too polite!" He Lanxuan raised his hand to help him, his eyes naturally moved to Chu Tianjiao's face, the smile in his pair of black eyes did not diminish, "I have long heard that my siblings were born very elf-like.
When I saw it today, it certainly lived up to its reputation!"
"Your Majesty, thank you!" Chu Tianjiao smiled without being humble or arrogant.
Someone from the palace had come over to inform her that lunch had been prepared. He Lanxuan and Chu Tianjiao helped the old lady to the left and right, and walked to the side hall to eat.
The old lady was sitting on the main seat. Chu Tianjiao originally wanted to sit down next to Helan Ji, but the old lady pushed her down on the chair next to him and said, "There are no outsiders today, so there is no need to be polite. We are just like a family and there is no need to separate."
Honor and inferiority!"
When the old queen mother spoke, whoever dared to disobey, the Helan brothers immediately sat down in the remaining two empty seats, and all the servants, except Cuiyu, who had been ordered by the old queen mother before, respectfully left the door.
While eating, He Lanxuan naturally asked about the situation of the Chu family, and the topic unknowingly turned to the night when Chu Tianjiao was assassinated.
"I heard from the third brother that even Long Xiang was seriously injured at that time. Tianjiao did not take the opportunity to escape but still protected him. He was really brave!" He Lanxuan smiled ambiguously, "Everyone in the palace said that the princess is blessed with great fortune.
Let me tell you, Tianjiao and the third brother have a tacit understanding, and they have already thought that the third brother will rush back to save him!"
When Chu Tianjiao heard this, he was shocked.
He Lanxuan's words seemed to be ridiculing, but there was a hint of thorn in his words. It was not difficult to hear that he seemed to have some suspicion about He Lanji's unlucky appearance at that time.
Before, Chu Tianjiao was a little confused as to why He Lanji reminded him like that last night, but now he had a vague feeling that the relationship between the two brothers did not seem to be as harmonious as it seemed.
Thoughts were racing in his mind, and Chu Tianjiao had already pretended to have a look of shame on his face.
"The emperor is joking, how could Tianjiao know that the prince would arrive? At that time, he was just thinking about General Long and all his subordinates having no life to protect Tianjiao. Even though Tianjiao has no ability, if Tianjiao escaped like this, he would never feel sorry for himself!
"Looking sideways at He Lanji beside her, she smiled softly, "Actually, Tianjiao also thought at that time that he would never see the prince again!"
