The study room of the Prince's East Palace, and the entire Prince's East Palace, can be said to be built based on a smaller version of the imperial palace.
At this time, in the prince's study, Lan Yu was sitting on a chair with a sad face.
Zhu Di, who was sitting opposite him, had a rather strange expression at this time.
Zhu Biao, who was sitting in the main seat, rubbed his forehead with a sad look on his face.
"So, Chu Ze has not mentioned breaking off the engagement to you so far... It's just because he showed such thoughts after meeting with Ruoyan yesterday, right?"
After hearing Zhu Biao's inquiry, Lan Yu also nodded silently.
"After Chu Ze left yesterday, Ruoyan's mood was a little low. No matter how I asked her, she didn't speak. She just sat there without saying a word..."
"It wasn't until noon today that I saw that my daughter was getting worse and worse, so I was forced to ask again."
"If I hadn't asked, I would still be in the dark!"
"Under my questioning, my daughter told me that Chu Ze mentioned to her yesterday that he intended to break off the engagement..."
"Your Highness, you have to make the decision for us. We don't have any opinions on this marriage now. Now the entire Yingtian Mansion knows that Chu Ze is my son-in-law."
"I don't want to break off the engagement at this time! Otherwise, where can I put my old face? Will my daughter be a good person in the future?"
"Your Highness, why don't you talk to His Majesty about this matter? I don't dare to do this!"
As Lan Yu spoke, she became a little anxious again.
After Zhu Biao heard Lan Yu's story, he felt a little upset and pinched the bridge of his nose.
Then she had to patiently speak to appease Lan Yu.
"Uncle, don't worry. Didn't you tell me about this? This is just sister Ruoyan's guess..."
"Although Chu Ze mentioned this, he didn't say clearly whether it was right or not..."
"We can't say this clearly. If we wait and he clearly says that he regrets the marriage, what else will we do..."
If Ming said it, there would really be no room for negotiation.
Nowadays, Lan Yu is particularly fond of this son-in-law. Since he listened to Chu Ze's advice, not only has His Majesty often praised him, but Chu Ze can clearly arrange for him many things that Lan Yu cannot see or understand. In vain.
Where can I find such a good son-in-law?
By then, if Chu Ze really wants to break off the engagement, the relationship between the two is so harmonious now.
Chu Ze has such a good relationship with His Highness the Crown Prince. Even if he, Lan Yu, can't understand the situation, he can't forcefully cause trouble!
If there was no trouble, would it be possible to agree to break off the engagement?
If that's the case, then it's better to make a fuss...
"How about that? Let's call Chu Ze and talk to him face to face..."
Zhu Di looked at his eldest brother Zhu Biao, who also had an anxious look on his face. It was really hard for him to interrupt in this kind of thing.
The only thing I can do is to give some advice.
After all, this is considered a household chore.
"No, some things can still be discussed through a layer of window paper. Once this layer of paper is pierced, there will really be no room for negotiation..."
Lan Yu was quite in favor of Zhu Di's proposal.
After all, in his opinion, if the prince comes forward, Chu Ze has to give him some face no matter what...
But Zhu Biao directly rejected Zhu Di's proposal.
This kind of thing is not suitable to be discussed. After all, once it is revealed, no matter what the outcome is, everyone will inevitably feel resentful.
"Then what should we do now? We can't wait for him to break off the engagement. Let's find a way later, right?"
"Uncle, I know this matter is urgent. But please don't be anxious first, okay?"
"Now, we don't even know whether Chu Ze really wants to break off the engagement, or why he is dissatisfied with sister Lan Yan. It's useless to be anxious at this time, right?"
"How about this first? Chu Ze will be attending classes in the main school now. That's good...Uncle, you go back and wait for the news first. I'll go and check out Chu Ze's words in person. If there is news, I will inform you as soon as possible, okay? ?”
"And you are here now. If we meet later and everyone seems embarrassed, I will be the intermediary. You can rest assured, right? If it doesn't work, I will ask my mother again. Come forward.”
"Chu Ze is the adopted son of my mother. Although he doesn't seem to have much respect for my father... He always makes fun of my father in private, but he respects my mother very much! My mother came forward and spoke. It will definitely work. Uncle, please don’t worry!"
"Fourth brother, you see General Lan off, and don't talk nonsense on the way."
Zhu Biao was really feeling tired at this time.
But even if he was tired, he still had to deal with this matter.
But the most important thing right now is to stabilize Lan Yu first.
Don't let it be just a misunderstanding, then everyone will be in trouble if this commotion continues.
Therefore, Zhu Biao's top priority was to get Lan Yu back first, and then privately ask Chu Ze what he thought.
But judging from Lan Yu's appearance at this time, she probably wouldn't be able to do it without someone by her side.
So Zhu Biao simply pulled Lao Si over temporarily to support him.
"Brother, don't worry, General Lan, let's go back first! As long as my elder brother comes forward, you can just put it in your stomach. This matter will be taken care of by my elder brother, and there will never be anything wrong."
After Zhu Di heard the arrangement of his elder brother Zhu Biao, he didn't say much. He stood up and came to Lan Yu to persuade him softly.
Lan Yu raised his head and looked at Prince Zhu Biao. After seeing the other party nodding to him with some assurance, he knew that there was no point in being anxious.
In the end, he could only shake his head and sigh.
"This matter also concerns His Highness Prince Lao."
In fact, after saluting Zhu Biao, Lan Yu could only turn around and leave silently.
Before Zhu Di left, he didn't forget to turn around and mention something to his elder brother.
"Brother, remember my drawings! Don't let Chu Ze forget it in a while."
"I understand, please comfort me on the way and wait for my news. Remember, don't make any bad ideas."
"Brother, don't worry, I can do things reliably."
After Zhu Di gave Zhu Biao a thumbs up, he followed Lan Yu's footsteps and walked directly outside.
After Zhu Di and Lan Yu left, Zhu Biao sighed, and then he could only stand up and walk towards the school hall with heavy steps.
"We said last time that column operations for multi-digit addition and subtraction are followed by vertical operations."
"Like this, vertical arithmetic addition, after aligning the same digits, start adding and subtracting."
"The advantage of the vertical form is that it converts suffering operations into simplified operations. For example, three minus seven."
"Three minus seven is not enough, then borrow one from the previous digit. The first digit is a tens digit. Then after borrowing one, it will be thirteen minus seven."
"So."
"Teacher, what if the person in front of you doesn't want to borrow it?"
".If you don't lend it, I'll beat him."
After arriving outside the school, Zhu Biao did not immediately disturb Chu Ze's teaching.
Instead, he listened silently outside the main hall.
When he heard bursts of laughter in the hall, his originally depressed mood seemed to calm down a lot with the laughter of the children.
After Zhu Biao waited for a short while, Chu Ze's class gradually came to an end.
After assigning homework, Chu Ze directly announced that get out of class was over.
After the class ended, Chu Ze just thought about going out to eat something to fill his restless stomach first.
As a result, as soon as he left the main hall, he ran into Zhu Biao, whose face was as black as a lump of coal.
After the two people's eyes met, Chu Ze subconsciously stretched out his hand and waved it in front of Zhu Biao's eyes.
"What are you doing? Are you acting like you're trying to eat people?"
"What's going on? Come with me and I'll talk to you properly first."
Faced with the confusion on Chu Ze's face, Zhu Biao directly pulled him and walked away.
And Chu Ze looked at the direction Zhu Biao was taking him, and no matter how he looked at it, it didn't look like a place to eat.
He pulled his hand back with a strong force.
"What are you doing?"
"Biao. As soon as I got up, I hurried to class. I only drank two cups of tea in total this day. Let's talk about it. Can we get something to eat first?"
"If I don't eat anything, I feel like I'm going to leave."
"Forget it, you guy. Eat, eat, talk while eating. I've been busy all day, and I happen to be hungry too."
Zhu Biao looked at Chu Ze, who was holding his stomach and with the word "hungry" written all over his face. Although he was anxious, he also knew that he probably wouldn't let this guy eat at this time, and he was afraid that he wouldn't agree either.
I happened to be a little hungry myself, so I might as well eat something together.
After coming to the dining table and sitting down, Chu Ze started to eat hungrily before Zhu Biao opened his mouth.
Seeing how he wanted to swallow all his tongue, Zhu Biaoba smacked his lips, but finally did not ask, letting Chu Ze finish his meal first.
At the same time, on the way out of the palace.
Zhu Di accompanied Lan Yu, whose eyes were full of anxiety, with a leisurely expression.
Lan Yu was anxious because she heard from her daughter that Chu Ze seemed to be breaking off the engagement.
But this matter is not a bad thing for Zhu Di.
To put it bluntly, if Chu Ze really broke off his engagement with the Lan family, then Chu Ze would be homeless!
if
If you introduce your wife’s sister to Chu Ze.
Wouldn't that mean that his relationship with Chu Ze has taken a further step forward!
By then, we will become relatives and brothers, after all!
This guy needs to take more care of him, right?
Therefore, when Zhu Di was sitting in the carriage at this time, all he was thinking about was all kinds of messy things.
From time to time, he would smile inexplicably or something.
"No, His Highness Prince Yan, can you please be quieter when you laugh? I am anxious. When you smile like this, I feel even worse!"
"Ah? I'm sorry, I'm sorry! General Lan, please forgive me. I'm thinking of some personal matters. My wife is about to give birth...I feel a little overjoyed for a moment. Forgive me, forgive me!"
Originally, Lan Yu was somewhat dissatisfied with Zhu Di, who laughed at him from time to time.
But after hearing Zhu Di's words, Lan Yu's eyes narrowed slightly.
His wife is about to give birth?
these words
Is he hinting at something?
"So that's how it is! King Yan and Princess Yan are really very affectionate!"
"That's natural. After all, Miao Yun has given birth to so many children. It's amazing! Looking back on the past few years, I feel like I'm still a half-grown child. In this blink of an eye, I've already become a father. of people.”
"Time flies so fast!"
Lan Yu looked at the unconscious happy smile on Zhu Di's lips when he talked about his wife and children.
His brows gradually frowned deeply.
But then, he seemed to have thought of something, and his frown gradually relaxed at this moment.
There was even a hint of joy in his eyes.
"Thank you, His Highness King Yan!"
"Ah? Thank me? Why are you thanking me?"
"Yes, yes, no thank you, hahahaha!"
After the carriage arrived outside Lan Yu's house, Lan Yu was no longer anxious at the beginning.
After jumping off the carriage, he did not forget to turn around and give a slight salute to Zhu Di on the carriage.
Later, with Zhu Di's face full of confusion, Lan Yu ran towards home happily.
Judging from his hurried pace, he seems to be quite anxious.
"What's going on with this blue jade? Why is he so surprised?"
At this time, Zhu Di was still thinking about what if Chu Ze really broke off the engagement. He frowned and shrugged, and then stopped thinking about Lan Yu's family.
He felt that he really needed to go home and discuss it with his wife.
If Chu Ze really breaks off the engagement, can they take advantage of the situation to make a match?
In the palace, Chu Ze finally felt full after eating two large bowls of rice.
He leaned back on the chair with some satisfaction and touched his bulging belly.
At this time, his face was filled with happiness.
The feeling of having a full stomach is so comfortable.
Just after eating too much, I always feel like sleeping.
"Are you full? Can we talk about business now?"
"Uh, I'm full! Please help me get a glass of water, I'm feeling a little full."
"."
Seeing that this guy Chu Ze had eaten and drank enough and had almost rested.
Only then did Zhu Biao ask again.
"Did you go to see Lan Ruoyan yesterday?"
"Uh, yes. We met yesterday."
After Chu Ze heard Zhu Biao's words, he was stunned for a moment, and then nodded somewhat dullly.
"Then did you say something you shouldn't have said?"
"No! I didn't say anything, okay? Speaking of this, I still want to talk to you. I'm about to be in my early twenties... Why didn't you tell me in the first place, Lan Ruoyan? Is she only twelve or thirteen years old?"
"We're already seven or eight years old, let alone engaged. She called me uncle, and I even dared to agree. Don't you feel awkward about this?"
"So you feel awkward, so you want to break off the engagement? After hearing this, Lan Yu almost burst into tears... Isn't your decision a bit hasty? After all, the entire Yingtian Mansion is now Knowing that you are the son-in-law of the Lan Yu family, breaking off the engagement at this time is not equivalent to putting Lan Yu on the fire, right?"
"No, when did I say I wanted to break off the engagement?"
