Hearing Zhao Lanlan's agreement, Du Ziqi breathed a sigh of relief and walked towards his own yard.
…
At the same time.
In a living room of the Zhao family, Zhao Lanlan hung up the phone with a smile and looked at her brother Zhao Qing and a middle-aged man beside her.
"Father, you guessed it right. Qiqi really called me."
Zhao Lanlan said with a smile.
"Haha, this is the old man of the Du family! Well, you guys don't need to get involved in this matter. Just stand on a high place and watch the excitement."
The middle-aged man smiled faintly and then stood up.
Zhao Qing and Zhao Lanlan, brother and sister, also stood up quickly.
"Father, regarding the Xia family's affairs, should we get involved?"
Zhao Qing said.
"Need not."
The middle-aged man waved his hand and looked in the direction of the palace. "Your Majesty has a purpose for punishing the Xia family. It is hard to guess what your Majesty is thinking, and we dare not guess rashly, so let's just wait and see what happens."
After saying that, he left the hall.
Seeing this, brother and sister Zhao Qing and Zhao Lanlan also followed and walked out.
…
In a guest room in the palace.
This guest room was prepared by Ling Zhou for Mi Lan and Qu Xiu.
In the bedroom, Qu Xiu stood in front of Mi Lan with her arms folded, looking at the latter with a smile.
Mi Lan hugged the pillow and curled up on the sofa, looking at Qu Xiu in confusion, and asked, "Why are you looking at me like that?"
Qu Xiu smiled and shook her head, saying, "Mi Lan, I can't tell! When did you hook up with Prince Lingzhou? Where's your childhood sweetheart?"
Hearing this, Mi Lan shook her head and smiled, saying, "Okay, sit down. Your Highness the Prince and I are at most friends. As for our childhood sweethearts..." She sighed, "They are all childhood memories, all in the past."
Qu Xiu was stunned when she heard this. She was Mi Lan's classmate in junior high and high school, so she naturally knew Mi Lan's childhood sweetheart, and she and Chen Jian were also classmates.
At that time, Qu Xiu and Chen Jian were like one person, inseparable. How did it become like this now? What happened in the four years of college?
Immediately, she blinked, sat down, looked at Mi Lan and said jokingly: "Xiao Lan, didn't you meet the real Prince Charming, and then-"
"What are you thinking about?"
Mi Lan threw the pillow at Qu Xiu and sighed.
Qu Xiu looked at Mi Lan in surprise.
She and Mi Lan have known each other for a long time. Every time Mi Lan talked about her childhood sweetheart Chen Jian, she always looked very sweet. Why did she keep sighing this time?
Then, she widened her eyes and said, "Xiao Lan, could it be that I was right?"
Mi Lan turned her head to look at her best friend and sighed helplessly, "Yeah! You got it right. Xiuxiu has good eyes. You were right at the beginning, people will change."
Upon hearing this, Qu Xiu fell silent.
In high school, she told Mi Lan that her childhood sweetheart was unreliable. But at that time, Mi Lan naturally didn't take her words to heart.
Now it seems that I was right.
But she was not proud of anything. She grabbed Mi Lan's hand, giggled, and changed the subject, gossiping, "I haven't told you yet, how did you hook up with Prince Lingzhou?"
Hearing this, Mi Lan glanced at her bestie and said, "What are you talking about? It's so harsh. As you know, I'm currently working at Blue Star Technology in Hong Kong, and Blue Star Technology is a company under the Lanling royal family. Recently, the company and the royal family have jointly developed a project, and this project just happened to need me, so I came here."
As she spoke, she took Qu Xiu's hand and said regretfully, "Tomorrow I will go to a laboratory in the royal family to start working, so I won't be able to accompany you for one night."
Qu Xiu was a little disappointed when she heard this, but she nodded and said, "Oh! Well, I came to Lanling this time to hold a concert. After the concert, I will return home."
Mi Lan nodded and said regretfully: "It's a pity that I can't go to your concert in person."
"That's okay. I still have many concerts to perform. There are plenty of opportunities."
Qu Xiu said with a smile.
Mi Lan nodded and lay down.
Qu Xiu also lay down, and then they talked to each other about their recent situation.
…
The next morning.
In the bedroom, Ling Zhou closed his eyes and stretched lazily.
He opened his eyes, looked at Xiao Yan who was standing beside the bed, and asked, "What time is it?"
"Your Highness, it's seven o'clock in the morning."
Xiao Yan said softly.
Ling Zhou nodded and sat up.
Xiaoyan hurried forward and supported Lingzhou.
"Have Mi Lan and the others woke up?"
Ling Zhou asked, leaning against the head of the bed.
"Your Highness, Miss Mi and Miss Qu have already woken up and are jogging in the garden."
Xiaoyan said.
Hearing this, Ling Zhou nodded, got out of bed and walked towards the bathroom.
After washing up, he changed his clothes with the help of Xiaoyan and Xiaolian and left the bedroom.
As soon as he walked out of the bedroom, Chen Yiru came up and said, "Your Highness, the old patriarch of the Du family and the old patriarch of the Jiang family are here and are waiting in the reception room of the main hall."
Hearing this, Ling Zhou stretched and said, "Oh! Let's ask Mi Lan, Qu Xiu and the others to come over for breakfast first, and we'll talk after breakfast. Also, make some arrangements. I'm going to the Leah Islands with Mi Lan today."
"OK."
Chen Yiru nodded, turned and left.
Ling Zhou smiled, looked at the empty yard, hugged Xiao Yan and Xiao Lian, squeezed their chests, and smiled at them, "Your skills were good last night."
Xiaoyan and Xiaolian blushed and lowered their heads.
Ling Zhou smiled and walked towards the restaurant.
Xiaoyan and Xiaolian hurriedly followed.
