Chapter 11 I saw the evil male protagonist!

Soon, Mrs. Meng and Meng Guxue walked in with smiles.

I don't know if it was because of what happened last time that Mrs. Meng specifically hit Meng Guxue. She lowered her head and was no longer as showy as the last time they met.

But if you take a closer look, you will find that her eyes are still looking around quickly, and she is not restless.

Qiao Jiaojiao suddenly remembered something very important.

It was mentioned in the original book that the male and female protagonists first met in Qiao's Mansion. She had not thought much about it before, but now she thought about it, wasn't she just setting up a bridge between them?

The most disgusting thing is that after the Qiao family was wiped out, the hero and heroine returned to the Qiao family again, euphemistically saying: revisiting the old place and reminiscing about the beautiful first meeting.

Qiao Jiaojiao asked, when they were chatting with each other, didn't they feel that all the angry souls of the Qiao family were staring at them?

【ah! Mad! Who would have thought that the first meeting between the heroine and King Jing was caused by my full moon banquet! 】

[Woo woo woo, is there any way to prevent them from meeting? If the male and female protagonists had never been together from the beginning, wouldn't the Qiao family be so miserable later on? 】

Mrs. Qiao was still looking at Meng Guxue, and her heart skipped a beat when she heard this.

Is it possible that this Miss Meng family is such a powerful person?

According to Jiaojiao, as long as Meng Guxue is not allowed to meet any prince, it will be fine, right?

Now that Snowman Meng Gu is in the back house of her Qiao family, this kind of thing is naturally easy for her as the head matron!

At this time, the Meng family's mother and daughter had already stepped forward to congratulate her. Qiao Jiaojiao raised her eyes and saw Meng Guxue's eyes glazed over and her mind wandering.

Qiao Jiaojiao naturally knew what Meng Guxue was thinking.

It was heavily described in the original work that Meng Guxue always believed that she was a time-traveling woman from modern society, and that she was superior to others in this ignorant and backward dynasty.

When she heard that the prince would bring three princes to congratulate him today, she immediately forgot about Qiao Tianjing.

Meng Guxue firmly believes that only the most noble men in this world are worthy of her, such as the prince who is inferior to one person and superior to ten thousand people, and the crown prince of a country!

Thinking that she could become the queen of her mother's world, Meng Guxue's lips raised a proud smile.

"Xue'er? Xue'er?"

Mrs. Meng's face turned red with embarrassment, and she gently tugged on Meng Guxue's sleeve.

This girl is getting more and more out of shape now. When Mrs. Qiao asked her something, she was still in a daze!

When Mrs. Qiao saw this, she frowned slightly, her face no longer happy.

She really couldn't figure out how their huge family could be defeated by such a girl.

Qiao Jiaojiao understood clearly.

[Meng Guxue's thoughts are probably all about the prince. She had a clear goal from the beginning and wanted to be a master. 】

[However, the prince did not fall in love with her, and she was immediately attracted to the beautiful and charming second prince. The two looked at each other across the waterside pavilion and fell in love at first sight. 】

Qiao Jiaojiao couldn't help laughing when she thought of this.

[Isn't this just the halo of the protagonist? Meng Guxue is only ten years old now, with a figure like a bean sprout and not very outstanding appearance. The second prince has never seen any beauty, so why did he fall in love with her at first sight? 】

Meng Guxue reacted and hurriedly saluted Mrs. Qiao, but her movements were somewhat distorted in her haste.

When Mrs. Qiao saw this, she shook her head calmly.

With such a character and demeanor, you still want to be a crown princess?

Mrs. Meng felt the critical and mocking gazes of the ladies around her, and her ears felt hot and hot. At this moment, the voice outside the door rescued her in time.

"Madam, the prince is here with the three princes. The master asked his servant to carry the young lady over."

Upon hearing this, Mrs. Qiao straightened up slightly, handed Qiao Jiaojiao to Aunt Liu, and told her to be careful.

When Meng Guxue heard this, a flash of light flashed in her eyes.

Qiao Jiaojiao was also extremely excited.

[Oh ho, I'm going to meet the hero! Let me see how evil he looks! 】

Mrs. Meng took advantage of the situation and pulled Meng Guxue to sit down. Meng Guxue's eyes were darting, and her mind had long followed Grandma Liu away.

She looked around, and there was no one missing her.

So she twisted her body pretending to be impatient, lowered her voice and said, "Mom, I want to change my clothes."

Mrs. Meng's face darkened, "Didn't I tell you not to drink too much tea before going out?"

Meng Guxue was afraid that she would not be able to keep up with Nanny Liu, so she said in a hurry: "Oh mother, people have three urgent needs, it is only natural!"

Mrs. Meng had no choice but to give careful instructions: "Ask the maid of the Qiao family at the door to take you there. Go and come back as soon as possible."

Meng Guxue responded happily, and carefully walked out of the door while everyone was not paying attention.

How did she know that with Qiao Jiaojiao's reminder, Mrs. Qiao was always paying attention to her.

Seeing that Meng Guxue was really restless, Mrs. Qiao called the maid Liumo beside her and whispered a few instructions.

Liu Mo respectfully agreed and went out quietly.

On the other side, Qiao Jiaojiao was successfully delivered to Qiao Zhongguo's arms under the escort of Grandma Liu.

Compared to the lively chatter among the ladies in the back hall, the front yard was eerily silent and solemn.

Qiao Jiaojiao's eyes moved around curiously.

[Quick, let me see where the hero is! 】

Qiao Zhongguo heard his daughter's thoughts and immediately turned her face to the second prince.

Qiao Jiaojiao took a closer look and took a breath of air.

The young man has exquisite facial features, a high nose, a face like white jade, and slanting black eyebrows.

His eyes are deeper than ordinary people, and the ends of his eyes are slightly raised, adding a touch of charm to this extremely handsome face.

Qiao Jiaojiao objectively commented:

【handsome! The 360-degree spiral ascending to the sky with no blind spots and the split is so cool! 】

Qiao Zhongguo:?

Qiao Tianyi:?

The second prince has a beautiful face, which is indeed rare in the world.

His biological mother was Princess Yuliu, the most beautiful woman in the North at that time.

After the defeat of the Northern Kingdom, Princess Yuliu was brought for marriage and became the concubine of the current emperor. She passed away after giving birth to the second prince.

When it comes to palace secrets, the water involved is unfathomable.

Qiao Jiaojiao sighed in her heart, her stance really determined her attitude.

When I first read the original work, I felt that the male protagonist was truly beautiful, powerful and miserable in the world, and it would be great to take revenge later on.

Now from the standpoint of the Qiao family, the male protagonist colludes with the Northern Kingdom for the great cause of revenge, kills the good ministers who are loyal to the emperor and the country, and eliminates all stumbling blocks. He is really ruthless.

[Alas, it was the matter of leaving the mother and leaving the son that made the second prince hate the emperor and the empress. 】

[Even though he is standing here weak and helpless with an innocent face, he has actually stretched out his fangs! 】

[Soon, people from the North Country will also come to contact him. 】

[Why is the evidence of treason and treason that my aunt thrust into the Qiao family so authentic? Because the seals on the documents above are all true! 】

Qiao Zhongguo's heart trembled violently, and at the same time he was frightened, and at the same time, an uncontrollable anger surged up.

The second prince actually colluded with the people from the Northern Kingdom?

You know, the people from the North invaded the Yong Dynasty border without any reason, burned, killed and looted, and cruelly killed tens of thousands of people on the border!

Countless men of the Yong Dynasty threw their heads and blood on the battlefield. After three years of hard fighting, they completely defeated the Northern Kingdom and ushered in this peaceful and prosperous scene.

How could the second prince collude with the enemy and put the Yong Dynasty in danger of war again!

Chapter 12 Prince Bai Yueguang

"Oh? Is this Mr. Qiao's little one?"

A handsome and gentle man leaned over, his purple cloud satin brocade clothes made him graceful and elegant.

The anger in Qiao Zhongguo's heart suddenly stagnated, and he was respectful.

Qiao Jiaojiao's eyes lit up slightly.

【Prince! This is the prince, right? well--】

Qiao Jiaojiao's sudden sigh made Qiao Zhongguo's heart skip a beat.

Does the prince also have a problem?

Qiao Jiaojiao continued to sigh.

【well--】

Qiao Zhongguo's scalp was already numb.

My dear girl, don't just sigh, say what you have to say!

[Hey, what should I do if I'm starting to get hungry and I can't bear to leave? 】

Qiao Zhongguo: "..."

Anyone who hangs him like this would have already punched him!

But since this person is Jiaojiao, it would be fine to hang him with a rope~

"Lord Qiao, can I also give you a hug?"

The prince suddenly stretched out his hand towards Jiaojiao in Qiao Zhongguo's arms.

As soon as these words came out, the eyes of everyone around him changed instantly.

What an honor this is. His Majesty and His Royal Highness the Prince have really given the Qiao family face.

The prince's move naturally had profound meaning.

Last night in the royal study, the Holy Father summoned the prince alone and gave a special instruction:

Qiao Zhongguo is a loyal, direct, and capable minister. Now that he has no military power, he can be trusted and reused.

Qiao Zhongguo was a little flattered and immediately handed Qiao Jiaojiao over.

Qiao Jiaojiao curled up in the prince's arms, staring straight at the prince with her big eyes without blinking.

[Ah, what a pity. Is this the prince who died young? 】

As soon as these heartfelt words rang out, the two brothers Qiao Zhongguo and Qiao Tianjingdiyi almost fell to their knees on the ground in fright.

die young! ?

The prince has always been strong and healthy, how is this possible!

Qiao Jiaojiao was also muttering at this time.

[Alas, in fact, the fact that the prince died prematurely is quite intriguing. The cause of death was sudden and sudden death overnight without any warning, as if he would naturally give way to King Jing when the time came. 】

[Although the article does not say that it was written by King Jing, I always feel that it is inseparable from King Jing. 】

[After all, the character of the prince is too perfect. If it is stated that King Jing killed his brother, readers may not buy it. King Jing, as a perfect male protagonist, has another flaw. 】

Qiao Zhongguo was indescribably horrified, and he looked at the second prince calmly.

His Royal Highness the Second Prince, who is usually quiet and ordinary except for his appearance, has hidden himself so deeply!

No wonder, in the future that Jiaojiao foresees, the Qiao family will fall into the hands of the second prince.

Now if it weren't for Jiaojiao's reminder, how could he have noticed the second prince standing in the shadows!

Qiao Jiaojiao looked at the prince who was as white as the moonlight, feeling full of regret in her heart, and stretched out her hand towards him.

She was born white, tender and cute, and was fed to make her plump and plump. She was really lovable.

The prince's eyes were gentle and he actually put his face into her palm.

Qiao Jiaojiao touched him gently and thought to herself:

[Prince, Prince, even if it is for our Qiao family, you must live well. 】

[Calculating on my fingers, there are still four years until your sudden death. If I, Qiao Jiaojiao, can survive until that time, I will definitely try my best to save you. 】

[When the time comes, you have to treat our Qiao family well and protect my father and my two brothers. 】

The prince couldn't hear Qiao Jiaojiao's thoughts, but felt that her eyes were as bright as pearls, and he was filled with joy.

"Xiaosi, aren't you clamoring to see your little sister? Come here quickly."

The prince called behind him softly, and a child with a tiger-like head and a thick brain appeared.

That was the queen's second son, the prince's biological brother, and the current fourth prince.

The prince slowly knelt down, and the fourth prince immediately came over with a curious look on his face.

【Fourth Prince? 】

Qiao Jiaojiao couldn't even remember such a person for a moment.

With her round little head, big eyes, and long eyelashes, she looks about four or five years old. She has lost her babyish look, but is still very cute.

"Wow, what a cute sister, brother, I want to hug her too!"

The prince shook his head gently, "Fourth brother, you are still too young, be careful of hurting Miss Qiao."

When the fourth prince heard this, he immediately pouted in grievance, with a look of reluctance.

[Where did Silly Baitian come from? Is there such a number one figure in the royal family? ] Qiao Jiaojiao's head was filled with questions.

"Brother, I will be very careful, please let me hug you too!" Silly Baitian was still reluctant.

The prince looked slightly stern when he saw this, "Fourth brother, this can't be a joke. It will be fine when you are older."

Silly Baitian's mouth tightened slightly, "Then when will Xiaosi be old enough?"

The prince's stern look suddenly disappeared, and he freed his hand to rub the fourth prince's head lovingly.

"When you celebrate your birthday during the Dragon Boat Festival next year, you will be old enough."

When Sha Baitian heard this, she immediately burst into tears and laughed, "Then wait a little longer, Xiaosi, when he grows up, he can hold his sister!"

Qiao Jiaojiao felt a flash of lightning flash through her mind, and she finally remembered who this so-called fourth prince was!

[Isn't this the passerby Yi who is destined to die young like me? 】

[On his fifth birthday, which was the Dragon Boat Festival, the fourth prince drowned in the imperial garden, which directly hit the queen to the point of becoming ill and left the prince devastated. 】

[After losing his beloved son, the emperor was frightened and furious, and he pursued the blame at every level. Nearly a hundred people were executed in the palace. Later, when he wanted to recruit maids and eunuchs, King Jing took the opportunity to stuff many people in. 】

[That's right, it's this unlucky guy, the ruthless plot tool who has really hit the mark! 】

When Qiao Zhongguo heard this, he felt numb. He was completely numb.

The prince died young, the fourth prince died in infancy, and the third prince was disabled. Wasn't this God paving the way for the second prince?

Dragon Boat Festival next year...

Every year during the Dragon Boat Festival, a dragon boat feast would be held in the palace, and the Qiao family should also be in the palace by then.

No matter what, we must save the Fourth Prince!

Qiao Jiaojiao didn't know how many times her appearance had shocked Qiao Zhongguo.

At this time, Qiao Jiaojiao's face turned red and she couldn't hold it in any longer.

【Ah ah ah! Need to pee! Woohoo, I can't hold it in! 】

Qiao Zhongguo's expression changed slightly, and just as he was about to say something to take Qiao Jiaojiao's hand, her pants were already filled with moisture.

"Huh--"

The fourth prince just screamed in disgust, but the prince had already stopped him.

"Xiaosi, don't laugh at my sister. You were like this before."

The fourth prince's face turned red suddenly, and he covered his face and did not dare to speak.

Qiao Zhongguo took Qiao Jiaojiao and said in panic: "My little girl is shameless and bumped into His Highness the Crown Prince. Please—"

The prince waved his hand, without any embarrassment on his face.

"Master Qiao, the child is like this, no need to say more, I just go and change my clothes."

Qiao Zhongguo immediately arranged for someone to follow him and wait on him, holding the wet Qiao Jiaojiao in his hands and he couldn't laugh or cry.

The first time they met, the prince peed all over his body. This was truly unprecedented.

Qiao Jiaojiao: (ฅωฅ *)

She is still just a baby!

Chapter 13 The family is unfortunate

Aunt Liu carried Qiao Jiaojiao all the way back to the backyard, where the banquet had already begun on both sides.

Mrs. Qiao said she was sorry, stepped down from the table, and fed Qiao Jiaojiao.

Grandma Liu told an interesting story about Qiao Jiaojiao peeing her pants in the front yard, which made Mrs. Qiao laugh.

"Madam, there is no need for tomorrow, just tonight, the news that our young lady peed on His Highness the Crown Prince will probably be spread throughout the capital!"

Qiao Jiaojiao: (/ω＼)

Could this be the legendary pee that made the world famous?

The atmosphere in the room was harmonious, when there was a knock on the door.

"Madam, I am a slave."

That was the voice of another maid reading books.

"Liu Shu, come in." Mother Liu responded in a low voice.

Liu Shu opened the door and came in, looking a little anxious, "Madam, Mrs. Meng just said that Miss Meng went to change clothes before the banquet started and she has not returned yet."

"She was worried that Miss Meng would bump into the distinguished guests in front of her. She seemed a little angry at the moment and wanted Madam to send a few people out to look for her."

Qiao Jiaojiao was already drowsy, but she immediately became excited after hearing this!

【What! Meng Guxue is missing? 】

[It's over, it's over, she must have quietly slipped into the front yard! Now Zhi Bu Dingzheng and King Jing are looking at each other through the air, expressing affection. 】

[This sister is really brave and reckless. If she didn't have the halo of the protagonist, she would have offended the prince and the prince against the official daughter, which would have made her drink a pot! 】

Mrs. Qiao looked calm when she heard this, and said calmly: "Send a few clever maids to look for them. There are many people in the house today and there is a lot of noise everywhere. I guess we can't find anyone until the banquet is over, right?"

Liu Shu's eyes flashed slightly when he heard the words, and he understood instantly.

"My slave understands."

Mrs. Qiao nodded with satisfaction, and then said: "Don't make trouble, today is Jiaojiao's full moon banquet, no mistakes are allowed."

Liu Shu went out in response.

Qiao Jiaojiao looked at Mrs. Qiao with her shining eyes.

[Why do I feel like there is something in my mother's words? 】

Mrs. Qiao raised the corners of her mouth slightly and coaxed Qiao Jiaojiao softly, "Jiaojiao is exhausted today. Let's take a nap first."

Qiao Jiaojiao was shaken and shaken, her eyelids soon began to fight, and then she fell into a deep sleep.

Mrs. Qiao looked out the window with deep eyes, a glimmer of light flashing in her eyes.

There is a small garden in the backyard of Qiao Mansion, which was built by the husband in his spare time. There are rockeries and locust trees scattered in it. It is based on the method of arranging troops. If there is no one to guide it, it will be difficult to get out.

Miss Meng is so restless and wants to use her place in Qiao Mansion to cling to powerful people, so let her stay there until the banquet is over.

At this moment, in the small garden, Meng Guxue came to the same intersection for the sixth time.

Looking at the familiar marks on the rockery wall, Meng Guxue collapsed completely.

Damn it! What the hell is this place!

Moreover, she really needs to pee now!

The banquet lasted for a full hour, and Mrs. Meng was so anxious that her mouth was blistering.

Seeing that all the guests had almost left, Mrs. Meng slumped in her seat, almost crying.

At this moment, Liu Shu hurriedly walked forward, leaned over and said in Mrs. Meng's ear:

"Mrs. Meng, we found Miss Meng. She just got lost in the backyard. It doesn't matter."

Mrs. Meng's whole body was agitated, and she felt like a drowning person rising to the surface of the water.

"Quickly, take me to see that dead girl!" Mrs. Meng said through gritted teeth, not caring about her face.

After seeing the miserable Meng Guxue, Mrs. Meng wanted to slap her in the face.

As a result, Meng Guxue's first words were: "Mother, His Royal Highness and the others are all gone?"

Mrs. Meng suddenly felt dizzy because Meng Guxue asked directly in front of Mrs. Qiao's maid, this and this...

The family is unfortunate!

"Damn girl, come back with me quickly. You won't even be able to step out of the door for half a year!"

Liu Shu pretended not to hear and wanted to give her away. Mrs. Meng was so embarrassed that she repeatedly asked Liu Shu to stay, grabbed Meng Guxue's arm and left.

When Liu Shu went back and reported everything to Mrs. Qiao, Mrs. Qiao's face instantly turned cold.

"She really has such thoughts."

After all the guests had left, Duke Yan came to the door carrying a wooden box.

Mrs. Qiao was happy and close to her biological father when she saw him.

"Dad! Why did you come here!"

Although Duke Yan has turned white on his temples, he is tall and strong, with a straight back and looks very healthy.

He chuckled and said in a loud voice, "Jing'er, it's not like you don't know that dad hates that kind of occasion."

Mrs. Qiao shook her head helplessly and hurriedly went to hug Qiao Jiaojiao.

Qiao Jiaojiao was almost asleep, but the bumps on the road made her completely awake.

Mrs. Qiao pushed Qiao Jiaojiao into Duke Yan's arms, "Jiaojiao, meet your grandfather soon."

Qiao Jiaojiao's eyes widened.

[Wow, is this my grandfather? He looks so young, not like someone in his sixties at all! 】

Mrs. Qiao pursed her lips and smiled. It was a pity that her father couldn't hear Jiaojiao's thoughts, otherwise he would be extremely happy.

Duke Yan held Qiao Jiaojiao lovingly and handed over the wooden box in his arms.

"Jing'er, put it away for Jiaojiao. This will be her dowry from now on."

Mrs. Qiao took the wooden box with a curious look on her face and almost dropped it on her foot.

"So heavy!?"

She opened the box and took a look, and couldn't help but let out a low sigh.

A box of gold, full of various longevity locks, bracelets, and hairpins.

Mrs. Qiao looked shocked, this is worth a lot of money!

"Dad, there are too many, and my daughter cannot accept them."

Yan Guozheng said seductively: "It's not for you, it's for Jiaojiao. Don't refuse, that's what Grandma Jiaojiao wants."

Mrs. Qiao was startled when she heard this. Her mother had been gone for more than ten years.

While teasing Qiao Jiaojiao, Duke Yan Guo said softly: "Your mother has been preparing for Diyi's child since she was born. She said that there will definitely be a girl in the future."

"Girls have to get married, and the dowry must be generous, so they have been prepared for it early. Who would have known that this baby has been waiting for a full fourteen years."

When Mrs. Qiao heard this, she recalled her mother's gentle and caring appearance, and couldn't help but feel a sour taste in her nose.

Qiao Jiaojiao couldn't help but feel heartbroken when she saw Mrs. Qiao's eyes were red.

[My mother also misses her mother. My grandmother must be a very kind elder to think so long-term for my mother. If she knew that my mother would be depressed, she would not know how distressed she would be. 】

When Mrs. Qiao heard Qiao Jiaojiao's words, her heart felt sour and painful, and she almost shed tears.

Ruoniang would be so sad if she knew that Duke Yan's mansion would be so abused by her eldest brother and sister-in-law in the future, and that the couple would kill Qiao's mansion.

Thinking of this, Mrs. Qiao pinched her sleeves hard and made a decision in her heart.

After Qiao Jiaojiao was taken away by Grandma Liu, Mrs. Qiao said seriously: "Dad, my daughter has something to tell you."

Chapter 14: Destined encounter fails

Seeing his daughter's serious expression, Duke Yan couldn't help frowning, "What's wrong with you, that boy from Zhongguo?"

Mrs. Qiao was a little dumbfounded, "How dare he? Dad, what I want to tell you is about my brother and sister-in-law."

Duke Yan leaned back in his chair, with a slight distress on his face.

"Your brother, the one who doesn't live up to expectations, will just live his life in a hazy state. I've stopped expecting him to do anything. Just don't cause trouble."

Mrs. Qiao looked solemn, "Dad, if you don't want your brother to cause trouble, you'd better keep him under restraint. You don't know, my brother actually... actually wants to take Diyi to a place like that with fireworks!"

"What!"

Duke Yan was so bad-tempered that he broke the armrest of the chair with one punch.

"That bastard!"

Mrs. Qiao couldn't help but feel guilty when she saw Duke Yan's furious appearance.

Although this matter has not happened yet, since Jiaojiao mentioned it, it must be true!

I just used this as an excuse to ask my father to treat my brother carefully and supervise him carefully.

When her father taught her brother a lesson about such an unbearable thing, he would definitely not tell her about it.

"No, I'm going to take him back and give him a good beating now!"

Duke Yan was about to leave in a hurry, but Mrs. Qiao quickly stopped him.

"Dad, wait a minute, my daughter has one more thing to do!"

Duke Yan's eyes suddenly widened, "Could it be that that little bitch is still arrogant? The crime is aggravated! The crime is aggravated!"

Mrs. Qiao: "..."

"Dad, don't be too conceited when you go back. It doesn't matter if your arms and legs are broken. Don't hurt my brother's brain."

Duke Yan: "..."

As you say, who is in charge?

Mrs. Qiao saw Duke Yan's dazed look, covered her mouth and smiled, and then straightened her expression.

"Dad, what my daughter wants to tell you is about my sister-in-law."

Duke Yan frowned, "What's wrong with your sister-in-law?"

In fact, he has always been dissatisfied with this daughter-in-law, who is too calculating and petty.

Of course, it was also his fault that his bastard son refused to live peacefully.

Therefore, over the years, he has never shown any favor to his daughter-in-law, and the internal affairs of the Duke of Yan Kingdom have been basically delegated to her, which is considered a sign of respect.

Mrs. Qiao looked a little ugly and lowered her voice and said: "A few days ago, my sister-in-law mentioned that she wanted Tian Jing and Ning'er to get married. I refused. My sister-in-law looked like she was angry with me. Today, Jiaojiao is full moon. The banquet never came."

"Moreover, I heard something at the banquet today that involves the face of our Duke Yan's palace, so I dared to mention it in front of dad."

Duke Yan frowned, "What's the matter?"

Mrs. Qiao seemed a little embarrassed to say anything, and she hesitated for a long time before saying: "Dad, I shouldn't talk about women's matters like this in front of you. But my mother passed away early, so only you can make the decision."

"My daughter heard that my sister-in-law had a childhood sweetheart who was very close to her. Recently, for some reason, some rumors have spread."

"Look, do you want to check it carefully?"

After careful consideration, Mrs. Qiao was still unwilling to reveal the secret of being able to hear Qiao Jiaojiao's heart.

She was really scared. Qiao Jiaojiao had the ability to predict the future. If someone knew about it, she would be doomed.

But in this case, she couldn't explain how she knew her sister-in-law had a childhood sweetheart, so she could only lie casually, hoping to use her father's methods to find out.

When Duke Yan heard this, his brows furrowed tightly.

"Your sister-in-law doesn't seem like that kind of person. Let's do this. I'll send someone to check carefully when I get back."

Mrs. Qiao looked at her father apologetically. This time, she was resorting to unscrupulous means to prepare for a rainy day.

At this time, Qiao Zhongguo sent away the guests in front and rushed to see his father-in-law immediately.

Duke Yan Guo had something on his mind, so he chatted briefly with Qiao Zhongguo and left in a hurry.

At night, Qiao Mansion finally returned to calm after a busy day.

Qiao Zhongguo sat in the study with a solemn expression and did not light a candle. Only a piece of moonlight cast from the open window became the only light source in the room.

"What's going on over there in the North Country?" Qiao Zhongguo asked in a low voice.

"Back to the general, the Crown Prince of Beiting is still undecided. Looking at the changing situation, I am afraid that there will be civil strife."

A hoarse voice suddenly sounded, and it turned out that there was a man in black kneeling in the shadow in front of Qiao Zhongguo.

Qiao Zhongguo showed a thoughtful look, and then said calmly: "Send a few people to guard the city gate. If there is anyone who looks like Bei Guo, watch carefully. If there is anything suspicious, just turn around."

"Also, send a few people to keep an eye on the second prince. They must stay far away to see if there is anyone suspicious around the second prince."

The man in black said yes firmly and respectfully without asking for any reason. When he jumped out of the window, he made no sound, like a black shadow.

Qiao Zhongguo stood up slowly, walked to the window and looked at the full moon in the sky, sighing secretly in his heart:

"Jiaojiao, dad has already made arrangements according to what you predicted. I hope to use this to preserve the hard-won peace of the Yong Dynasty and change the fate of my Qiao family."

With his thoughts at this point, he suddenly missed his gentle wife and well-behaved daughter, so he turned around, pushed open the study door, and walked towards the main room.

————

Outside the gate of Qiao's Mansion is Chengtian Street, and an inconspicuous carriage is parked at the corner of the street.

There was a driver standing next to the carriage. He was slightly stooped and looked very old.

But if you look carefully, you will find that the driver has bright eyes, a smooth chin, and slightly convex temples. He is clearly a middle-aged master.

"Master, it's late at night, it's time to go back."

The driver's voice was hoarse and easily drifted away in the night wind.

"hold on."

A clear and elegant young voice came from the car. If Qiao Jiaojiao could see this person at this time, she would be shocked.

Because the person guarding here is none other than the current second prince, the male protagonist Shen Yuanbai!

The driver was a little confused, "Master, who...are you waiting for?"

As soon as these words came out, Shen Yuanbai's face became a little confused.

In fact, even he himself didn't know who he was waiting for.

Before he came to Qiao Mansion, he had a strong premonition in his heart that he would meet someone extremely important to him today.

He had no idea whether the person was male or female, tall, short, fat or thin.

This premonition was obviously so strong, but until the banquet at Qiao Mansion dispersed, this destined person never showed up.

About half a quarter of an hour later, there was no one on Chengtian Street, and it would be too conspicuous to stay any longer.

Thinking of this, Shen Yuanbai waved helplessly, "A Sheng, let's go."

"Yes, Master."

The driver jumped onto the carriage lightly and drove the horse away steadily.

Shen Yuanbai slowly leaned against the car wall, his originally cold eyes filled with a hint of sinisterness, and his brows furrowed tightly.

He always felt as if he had lost something important today.

Chapter 15 Jiaojiao's first Spring Festival

The days of eating and drinking as a little baby passed quickly.

Under the careful care of the whole family, Qiao Jiaojiao slowly learned to raise her head and turn over. When she was four months old, she was trying to sit up with her buttocks raised all day long.

Time came to the twelfth lunar month, and Qiao Jiaojiao ushered in her first Spring Festival in this world.

Qiao Zhongguo really doted on Qiao Jiao to the point where he could not let go of her when she was sleeping. Even Mrs. Qiao hated him for becoming his daughter's slave.

As soon as these words came out, Qiao Zhongguo felt proud.

He used to learn exquisite wood carving with his subordinates in the military camp in his spare time. Now he carves every month, vividly recording Qiao Jiaojiao's growth and changes.

Qiao Diyi came over and said, "Dad, carve one for me too, the kind that looks heroic!"

Qiao Zhongguo raised his foot and kicked him, "Get out of here! You didn't hit me enough, did you?"

After hearing this, Qiao Diyi trembled all over and shouted dissatisfied: "Dad, why do you always hit me!"

Qiao Zhongguo snorted coldly, "You are the only one in the whole family who has a strong skin. Who will hit you if I don't hit you?"

Who told you that if you don't learn well, you dare to follow others to that place of fireworks!

Although this hasn't happened yet, it doesn't stop me from beating you up in advance!

Mrs. Qiao came over holding Qiao Jiaojiao, who was wrapped up into a small ball. Seeing the father and son fighting again, she couldn't help but shake her head.

Qiao Jiaojiao giggled when she saw this.

[Hey, second brother, don't you know? There is an old saying that goes, the oldest child is pampered, the third child is spoiled, and the second child is the unlucky one to be offended by! 】

Qiao Diyi: "......"

Insightful!

"I want to hug my little sister! It's my little sister who knows how to care about me the most!"

As soon as Qiao Diyi stretched out his hand, Qiao Jiaojiao was already hugged by Qiao Zhongguo.

It was snowing heavily in the twelfth lunar month in the capital. Qiao Jiaojiao was wearing a thick coat and a white fox fur cloak. The little doll was made of pink and jade, as if it were made of jade.

Qiao Zhongguo handed the wooden sculpture to Qiao Jiaojiao as if he were presenting a treasure, which made Qiao Jiaojiao's eyes light up.

【Wow wow wow! so beautiful! So much like me! My dad is so ingenious and ingenious! 】

Hearing this, Qiao Zhongguo was very pleased and smiled like a flower. He secretly made up his mind to carve hundreds more for Jiaojiao!

It was getting late. Sitting in the house with a burned floor cage, the family took off their heavy coats and chatted together, enjoying themselves.

Qiao Jiaojiao looked at the sumptuous dinner on the table and couldn't hold back her saliva.

[Woo woo woo, roast chicken, steamed duck, roast suckling pig, wait for me, I will grow up soon! 】

When several people heard Qiao Jiaojiao's thoughts, they couldn't help but laugh, but they were also afraid that each other would find something strange.

So Qiao Zhongguo pretended to pour wine, Mrs. Qiao lowered her head and pretended to tidy Qiao Jiaojiao's hair, Qiao Tianjing pretended to cover her mouth and cough, and Qiao Diyi leaned over and pretended to look for something under the table.

Qiao Jiaojiao looked at everyone and suddenly became busy:?

Crackling——

Amidst the burst of festive firecrackers, the family with eight hundred minds finally laughed heartily.

Qiao Jiaojiao was not afraid of the sound of firecrackers at all. She jumped excitedly in Mrs. Qiao's arms and screamed.

At this moment, even her eyes were a little wet.

This is a warmth and reunion that I have never experienced in my previous life without a father or mother. It is so comforting.

There is a rule of keeping the year old on New Year's Eve. Qiao Jiaojiao was still young and soon couldn't hold on any longer and fell asleep in Mrs. Qiao's arms.

At midnight, the sound of banging was heard, and the Qiao family members unanimously made the same wish at this moment:

May their Jiaojiao life be smooth, safe and happy.

On the third day of the Lunar New Year, Qiao Zhongguo and his family went to the Yanguo Duke's Mansion to pay New Year's greetings.

This was Qiao Jiaojiao's first visit to Duke Yan's mansion. Duke Yan had received the news and was waiting at the door early.

The moment he saw Qiao Jiaojiao, Duke Yan's eyebrows curved and he immediately hugged her over.

"Jiaojiao, it's cold outside. Come inside with grandpa quickly."

Duke Yan said and turned around and left, leaving the rest of the Qiao family where they were.

Qiao family:?

"Sister, brother-in-law, come in quickly!"

Qiao Jiaojiao's sharp eyes saw her uncle who was still a playboy even in middle age.

If this person wants to be romantic, he must have capital, otherwise he will be called a gangster.

Mrs. Qiao was once the most beautiful woman in the capital. As Mrs. Qiao's biological brother, Prince Zuo was naturally very good-looking.

It's just that I have neglected self-management over the years, and that big belly is really noticeable.

Mrs. Qiao asked politely: "Where is my sister-in-law?"

There was a hint of dissatisfaction in the look of Prince Zuo Heying, "I went back to her parents' home early in the morning. I had planned to go there tomorrow, but suddenly changed my mind. I really don't know what she was thinking."

Mrs. Qiao understood, she just sent the message to come, and then the sister-in-law left. It seemed that she was still angry with her.

That's fine.

Mrs. Qiao smiled lightly. She was here to see her father.

Zuo Heying chatted with the three fathers and sons of the Qiao family in the hall, while Mrs. Qiao chased Duke Yan into the back hall.

She looked up and saw another big red envelope in Qiao Jiaojiao's arms.

"Dad, Jiaojiao doesn't need anything. You don't have to be so generous every time." Mrs. Qiao said angrily.

Duke Yan's eyes widened, "This is my grandfather's wish. How can you, a daughter, comment on it?"

He turned his head to look at Qiao Jiaojiao in his arms, even his voice was suppressed.

"My dear, Jiaojiao, don't listen to your mother, keep it! It will be our Jiaojiao's dowry from now on!"

Qiao Jiaojiao held the red seal in her hand and looked excited.

[Thank you to my handsome, charming and generous grandfather! Woohoo, this red seal is really thick! 】

Mrs. Qiao helplessly held her forehead. Neither she nor her husband cared much about external things, but Jiaojiao was a little obsessed with money.

Qiao Jiaojiao played in the house for a while, and after a bumpy ride on the road, she fell asleep again.

Upon seeing this, Mrs. Qiao asked Aunt Liu to take Qiao Jiaojiao to the greenhouse next door to sleep for a while.

Seeing that there was no one around, Duke Yan suddenly spoke: "Jing'er, that matter is indeed a bit strange."

Mrs. Qiao was about to take the initiative to ask, but her heart skipped a beat when she heard this.

The last time I mentioned my sister-in-law's childhood sweetheart, my father told me to go back and check. However, there was no news for three months, so she had a premonition that the matter was not simple.

Duke Yan looked solemn and said in a deep voice:

"That man's name is Li Xusheng. He is actually a relative of your sister-in-law's family. The family was desperate and came to the capital to seek refuge."

"It is said that he grew up with your sister-in-law and they have a very close relationship. Li Xusheng is also promising. He has great kung fu and his family intends to recommend him to the military camp for training."

"It seems that the two families have the intention to get closer."

"The bad thing is that your eldest brother fell in love with your sister-in-law. After our two families agreed to get married, Li Xusheng's family disappeared."

When Mrs. Qiao heard this, her heart sank.

She knew that her sister-in-law was very happy when she first married into the Duke's palace. From this point of view, she was also satisfied with the marriage.

Could it be that the sister-in-law's family drove away the Li family in order to successfully marry them into the Duke's mansion?

Thinking in a darker direction, could it be that someone was killed?

Chapter 16 The fairy love between father and mother

Whatever Mrs. Qiao can think of, Duke Yan will naturally not miss.

"I sent someone to the Li family's ancestral home to inquire. The Li family has never gone back since they came to the capital."

"In the past few months, when I had people carrying portraits around for secret visits, I found some clues by coincidence."

"The Li family used to make a living selling tofu in the local area. There was a tofu stall on the corner of Gutian Street. The stall owner was an old woman with a broken leg. She looked very similar to Li Xusheng's mother."

"After several contacts, the spies learned that the stall owner's husband seemed to have been beaten to death, and his son was also missing."

"However, after staying several times, the spies found that occasionally there would be a man with a rickety back in the stall who would come to help. Although that man looked older, he was actually an expert!"

When Mrs. Qiao heard this, she covered her mouth and whispered, "Could this person be Li Xusheng?"

Duke Yan nodded solemnly, "Jing'er, you will never guess who this Li Xusheng is working for now."

Mrs. Qiao's heart was pounding. It turned out that everything was traceable. Jiaojiao had really said it all!

Duke Yan's next words completely confirmed Mrs. Qiao's suspicion.

"Second Prince, that Li Xusheng is now the Second Prince's subordinate, and he is guarding the Second Prince closely, never leaving!"

Duke Yan was pacing back and forth in the room, with a little worry on his face.

"Jing'er, your sister-in-law's family most likely killed the Li family because of this marriage. Li Xusheng not only escaped death, but is now on the rise."

"This person can endure what ordinary people cannot tolerate. He is definitely not a kind person and must be guarded against!"

Mrs. Qiao's face turned slightly pale, yes, that Li Xusheng was indeed remarkable.

In Jiaojiao's prophecy, he could even suppress his hatred and use his old feelings to lure his sister-in-law to do things for him, pushing the Qiao family into an abyss of eternal destruction!

This matter has exceeded the limit of her interference in the back house, and it's time to give her husband a warning.

Mrs. Qiao looked solemn. This time, she would not allow any evil person to harm the Qiao family or the Duke's mansion!

After Duke Yan said these words, he secretly looked at his daughter with a searching look on his face.

Jing'er told him that day that she heard some rumors and thought of checking it out.

But in fact, the in-laws covered up this matter very well, and people in the Beijing circle didn't even know the existence of the Li family.

So how did Jing'er know such a secret thing and bother to lead him to investigate?

However, Duke Yan really loved his daughter. Seeing that Mrs. Qiao was not prepared to say anything, he had no intention of pressing her.

He firmly believed in his heart that his daughter had been smart and smart since she was a child. She was also close to and filial to his father, and would never do anything that would harm the government.

The Qiao family had lunch at the Duke's Mansion before leaving.

Back at Qiao's house, Qiao Jiaojiao was taken to play by Qiao Tianjing and Di Yi, so Qiao Zhongguo and his wife closed the door and talked about themselves.

Mrs. Qiao grabbed her husband's big hand and said with a flash of her face:

"Husband, I heard a big thing from my father today!"

Qiao Zhongguo, who was already a little distracted, became slightly serious when he heard this, "What's wrong, madam? But what difficulties did the father-in-law encounter?"

Mrs. Qiao snuggled into Qiao Zhongguo's arms and said softly: "Dad heard some rumors about my sister-in-law, so he sent someone to investigate, and the result was unexpected!"

Qiao Zhongguo immediately remembered what Qiao Jiaojiao had mentioned about Mrs. Zuo's childhood sweetheart, and he immediately sat upright.

His attention has been focused on Beiguo and the second prince these days, but he has almost ignored this matter!

At that moment, Mrs. Qiao recounted what happened to Li Xusheng, and said with a worried look:

"Husband, although it was my sister-in-law's family who attacked his Li family, will he also hate the Duke's Mansion and our Qiao Mansion because of this?"

Qiao Zhongguo's face was gloomy and his eyes were cold, but he gently touched the top of Mrs. Qiao's hair with his hand and said softly:

"Madam, don't worry, everything is taken care of by my husband."

Mrs. Qiao leaned on Qiao Zhongguo's shoulder, hugged Qiao Zhongguo's waist affectionately like a young couple, and nodded lightly.

"With her husband here, Jinger has always felt at ease."

The room was quiet for a while, then Qiao Zhongguo suddenly turned his head and whispered into Mrs. Qiao's cheek with slightly red ears.

"Jiaojiao is four months old. Madam, have you rested well? My husband has been looking forward to seeing you for a long time."

Mrs. Qiao's face suddenly turned red with embarrassment.

Since Qiao Jiaojiao was born, she had taken her with her every night. Qiao Zhongguo also cared about her and held it in for four months without speaking.

Thinking of the absurd enthusiasm between the two of them in the past, Mrs. Qiao suddenly felt a little weak all over.

She fell in love for half a day, still as shy as a young girl.

"Let's talk later...at night."

Qiao Zhongguo leaned down, his eyebrows brightened, and he lowered his voice and said, "Why don't you let Aunt Liu take Jiaojiao to sleep tonight? My husband has been holding it in for a long time."

When Mrs. Qiao heard this, she felt a rush of hot air rushing up to her head. She punched him in shame, but her heart was filled with sweetness, and then she lowered her head and acquiesced.

Qiao Zhongguo smiled happily and suddenly hugged Mrs. Qiao, making Mrs. Qiao scream in surprise.

Qiao Tianjing hugged Qiao Jiaojiao and walked to the door. Hearing the commotion in the room, his face suddenly turned red and he quickly stepped away from the scene.

Qiao Jiaojiao chuckled mischievously.

[Hey, brother, are you allergic to romance? Run so fast! 】

[If I can publish a book in the future, I will write a book called "The Fairy Love of Mom and Dad". Wow, wow, it's really sweet and enjoyable! 】

Qiao Tianjing was thin-skinned and walked very fast, but Qiao Jiaojiao kept talking about the train.

[The family tradition is just different. Other people's young masters have already arranged to have a marriage. Look at my eldest and second brother, they are pure and clean! 】

[Hehe, I'm starting to look forward to my sister-in-law again. I know the Lantern Festival is coming soon! 】

[Brother, you have to live up to your expectations! Marry your sister-in-law home as soon as possible! After more than ten years of eating dog food, things have changed, and it's your turn to show your affection to your parents! 】

Qiao Tianjing's ears were red, and he didn't know whether it was from the cold or from embarrassment.

That night, Qiao Jiaojiao was indeed arranged to sleep with Grandma Liu.

Before leaving the room, Qiao Jiao's narrow eyes flickered between her father and mother.

【Ah ah ah! My parents are finally going to be sweet, are they so happy? 】

Qiao Zhongguo froze slightly, and Mrs. Qiao's face was so red that she couldn't even lift her head.

This is the first time in their lives that the couple hopes that Qiao Jiaojiao is really just a simple and ignorant little baby.

Qiao Jiaojiao was still excited.

[Oh my God, my stumbling block has finally been removed! Dad and Mom, I am very willing to help you! Don't even bring me back tonight! 】

[Woooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooo yeah yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah! 】

Aunt Liu was here. She looked happy and quickly took Qiao Jiaojiao out very wisely.

The couple just breathed a sigh of relief when the childish little voice vaguely said again:

[Hey, will you give me another younger brother or sister...]

Qiao family couple: "......"

Chapter 17 Let's go out to play

Soon the day of the Lantern Festival, the fifteenth day of the first lunar month, arrived.

After breakfast early in the morning, Qiao Zhongguo began to use various reasons to urge Qiao Tianjing to go out cleverly and without leaving any trace.

Today is Xiu Mu's last day. Give him some refreshing news so that he can be in the mood to go to court tomorrow!

Qiao Tianjing was obviously a little out of shape today. His eyes were slightly green and he looked listless.

I was really poisoned by my little sister!

The closer the Lantern Festival was, the more she kept talking about Miss Han in her heart all day long. Even he became inexplicably nervous. Last night, he drifted off to sleep after midnight.

Qiao Jiaojiao can now eat some thin rice cereal. Seeing her father urging her eldest brother to go out, she couldn't help but wonder.

[Isn't it time to take a bath today? It's so cold outside, why did dad ask eldest brother to go out? 】

[Let me tell you, brother, hurry up and recharge your batteries! It's time for the hero to save the beauty during the lantern parade tonight! 】

Qiao Zhongguo suddenly realized that he had to wait until night to save his future daughter-in-law.

Girl, please reveal some details, such as which street, which entrance, and how many steps your brother should take to save your sister-in-law!

Qiao Tianjing calmly breathed a sigh of relief when he heard this. It turned out to be night, so he really needed to have a good night's sleep in the afternoon.

Qiao Jiaojiao was eager at this time.

[What should I do? I really want to go woowoo! I want to witness the birth of a fate, and I also want to watch the heroine show off! 】

[The lantern parade is very lively tonight. Some building seems to have held a grand couple event, and then the heroine stole the show. The highlight moment was even seen by the hero! 】

【I really want to join in the fun! Can you let the eldest brother and the second brother take me there? Ahhhh! I hate myself for not being able to speak! 】

Qiao Jiaojiao was so excited that she babbled and screamed, and accidentally knocked over the spoonful of paste handed over by Mrs. Qiao.

Qiao Jiaojiao: "......"

[Ooooooo, mother, I'm sorry, I didn't mean to be bad, I also want to go to the lantern festival! I really want to go! 】

Mrs. Qiao was not angry. She patiently wiped Qiao Jiaojiao's dirty arms and kissed her forehead tenderly. She was already considering the feasibility of Qiao Jiaojiao going out.

She really couldn't bear to restrain Jiaojiao, after all, she had such a strong desire to go out.

The boss wants to save Miss Han, but he is afraid that he will not be able to take care of Jiaojiao.

The second dick has not yet been determined, it is too rough, it will not work if it hurts Jiaojiao.

Or, let your husband——

"Mom, my little sister is a little older now. Can I take her out tonight to see her?"

After weighing things up, Qiao Diyi was pleasantly surprised to find that he was the best person to take Qiao Jiaojiao out!

Reliable, gentle, caring, and highly skilled in martial arts!

When Qiao Jiaojiao heard this, she excitedly pointed her fleshy little finger at Qiao Diyi and screamed!

【Second brother! Second brother! You are handsome and loving. With your light, I will soon see a world I have never seen before! Please continue to radiate your charming charm and take me out! 】

Qiao Zhongguo frowned suddenly, why did this little brat get so many compliments from Jiaojiao!

But Qiao Diyi was obviously over the top.

Look how dazzling I am in my little sister's eyes, how could I let her down!

So he stood up suddenly and vowed: "Mom and dad, don't worry, I promise with my life that I will take good care of my little sister!"

Qiao Tianjing couldn't bear to disappoint Qiao Jiaojiao, so he added: "Mom and dad, I will take care of my little sister with my second brother."

Qiao Jiaojiao looked at Qiao Tianjing with excitement.

【Ah ah ah! Big brother is a great assist! 】

Qiao Zhongguo looked at his wife, and there was also a plea for mercy in his eyes. This matter needed to be finalized by his wife.

Qiao Jiaojiao glanced around and immediately turned around to curry favor with the family's final decision-maker.

She arched her buttocks and struggled to get into Mrs. Qiao's arms, looking at Mrs. Qiao with a pair of wet eyes.

[Ah ah ah, the most beautiful and kind-hearted mother in the world, please promise to let me go! Such a lovely daughter is begging you, are you not soft-hearted at all? 】

[Only mother is good in the world, and a mother's child is like a treasure~]

Seeing that Qiao Jiaojiao was so flattering that she started singing, Mrs. Qiao's eyebrows arched and she couldn't help but laugh.

She closed her arms and said, "Go, go, I can rest for a while."

【Wow wow wow! A light suddenly shined in my eyes! Is it sunshine? No, that is the brilliance of a loving mother in my mother's body! 】

Mrs. Qiao: Pfft——

A girl as big as a kid!

"Second brother, you have to keep an eye on your sister at all times and don't bump into her when she's cold." Mrs. Qiao warned her worriedly.

Qiao Diyi immediately patted his chest and promised.

As night fell, there was a faint noise outside the house.

Qiao Jiaojiao was wrapped up inside and out, put on a tiger-head hat, tiger-head shoes, and a red fox cloak. She was nestled in a small ball, like a little girl next to the Bodhisattva.

Mrs. Qiao couldn't hold back and left a few more fragrant kisses on Qiao Jiaojiao's face.

Qiao Jiaojiao immediately laughed out loud.

Qiao Diyi came in and took Qiao Jiaojiao away, weighing her fondly, "Little sister, second brother will take you out to play!"

【Let's go out and play! 】

Mrs. Qiao looked at the big one and the small one walking briskly out of the house, feeling happy and worried at the same time.

When she arrived in the front yard, Qiao Jiaojiao saw her eldest brother dressed in white. He was standing under the green pine trees, with picturesque features and cheerful expressions.

Qiao Jiaojiao suddenly screamed.

【Yes, yes! That's it, don't be obsessed with me, hahaha! 】

Qiao Tianjing trembled slightly and immediately turned away, his face flushed.

This little girl's mouth is really...

Qiao Diyi just chuckled narrowly on one side.

The three brothers and sisters boarded the carriage that had been prepared. The carriage was toasty warm and there were some soft and chewy desserts.

Aunt Liu sat in a carriage behind and followed. If Qiao Jiaojiao peed in the middle, she would change Qiao Jiaojiao's clothes at any time.

The lantern parade was arranged on Putian Street, the largest street in the capital. When it reached the street entrance, the carriage was not allowed to enter.

Qiao Tianjing asked Nanny Liu to wait here, and he walked in with Qiao Diyi, who was holding Qiao Jiaojiao.

Qiao Jiaojiao felt warm all over her body. She looked like a bird out of its cage when she got out of the car. She looked around with a pair of smart eyes and shouted excitedly.

[Wow, this is the kind of grand scene of the Tang Dynasty that was described in the book, right? It's so lively! I feel like the country is peaceful and the people are living and working in peace and contentment! 】

[Uuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuah, thinking that this grand scene is due to the Qiao family's battle on the battlefield, I suddenly feel so proud! 】

When Qiao Tianjing and Qiao Diyi heard this, they couldn't help but puff up their chests.

When they were fighting against the Northern Kingdom, the Qiao Family Army was the ace army that frightened the enemy the most!

【Ah ah ah, that cerebellar ax lantern is too cute! I want! 】

Qiao Jiaojiao's mind jumped very fast. As soon as she opened her eyes, she saw a conspicuous tiger lantern in the distance.

Qiao Tianjing followed Qiao Jiaojiao's gaze and saw an unexpected figure.

Chapter 18 White Moonlight Matches White Moonlight

Qiao Tianjing's expression changed slightly. He looked around and felt a little relieved when he saw the guards scattered among the crowd.

Qiao Diyi was not so attentive. When he saw Qiao Jiaojiao asking for the tiger lantern, he walked over without hesitation.

At this time, a childish voice sounded.

"Brother, I want this little tiger!"

Qiao Jiaojiao's ears trembled, why did this voice sound so familiar?

"Okay, then go pick it yourself."

The gentle voice came slowly, instantly awakening Qiao Jiaojiao's memory.

[It's the prince and that silly Baitian! 】

When Qiao Diyi heard the word "prince", he was instantly excited.

where? The prince is here too?

Qiao Tianjing pulled Qiao Diyi's sleeve aside and motioned for him to look towards the tiger lantern.

At this time, under the little tiger lantern, a young child was sitting on the shoulders of a young man. The child was trying hard to reach for the lantern.

When Qiao Jiaojiao saw this scene, she couldn't help but open her mouth in shock.

[Isn't Prince Bai Yueguang too arrogant? Just let Sha Baitian sit on his shoulders? Tsk tsk tsk, the deep brotherhood that is rare in the royal family! 】

Qiao Jiaojiao's sophisticated complaints can be said to have touched the hearts of Qiao Tianjing and the brothers.

Even they didn't expect that the prince would be so doting on the fourth prince in private.

At this time, a guard came to the prince's side and whispered something.

Upon hearing this, the prince turned his head slightly and saw the Qiao Tianjing brothers standing not far away.

He didn't feel any embarrassment at being spied on. Instead, he smiled gently and waved to them.

At this time, Sha Baitian shouted: "Brother, don't move, I'm about to reach the lantern!"

"Xiaosi, the little sister is here, don't you take a look?" Prince Shen Yuanzhan asked with a smile.

"Little sister? Is she the beautiful little sister from Qiao Mansion?"

The fourth prince Shen Yuanling's eyes suddenly lit up when he heard this. He didn't care about the little lantern anymore and turned around to look for it.

When he turned around, he saw Qiao Jiaojiao, who was as gentle and lovely as a porcelain doll, and he was instantly overjoyed.

Qiao Diyi came to the prince with Qiao Jiaojiao in his arms. He was about to greet the prince, but was immediately stopped.

"Don't be too polite tonight, just hang out with friends."

Qiao Diyi was also a straightforward person. As soon as the prince said this, he really relaxed and said politely:

"Brother Shen, are you coming to see the lanterns too?"

Qiao Tianjing: "..."

This stupid second brother should at least call the prince "young master"!

Qiao Jiaojiao: "..."

【²³³³³³³6666666666²³³³³³³ 666 Second brother is awesome! ²³³³³³ ⁶⁶⁶⁶⁶⁶ Awesome²³³³³³³³³³66666 Hahaha 66666²³³³³³³]

Qiao Diyi:?

Why did the little sister suddenly praise her?

The prince was startled, then smiled heartily.

This second child of the Qiao family is so interesting!

The fourth prince couldn't wait to see Qiao Jiaojiao.

"Brother, please hold me down, I want to kiss my little sister!"

Qiao Tianjing and Di Yi: That won't work! Not even if you are a prince!

The guards on the side helped carry the fourth prince down. He immediately climbed into the prince's arms and came over to look at Qiao Jiaojiao.

Qiao Jiaojiao glared at him, "What are you looking at, little brat!" 】

Qiao Tianjing and Di Yi: "..."

It's a good thing that others can't hear it!

When the fourth prince saw Qiao Jiaojiao glaring at him, he shouted happily: "My sister likes me! She also likes me! Brother, can I choose my sister to be my fourth prince's concubine?"

[You are so young, but you have a big heart. What a beautiful idea! You little short-lived ghost, it's not certain whether you will live to grow up! 】

Qiao Tianjing: Thank God, only he and Lao Er can hear these rebellious words.

The prince shook his head helplessly and said to the Qiao brothers:

"The palace has been busy choosing a princess for me recently. After hearing this, Xiaosi went in and clamored all day long for your little girl to be the princess."

Qiao Tianjing immediately smiled politely and said, "This is a great event, congratulations, sir."

When Qiao Jiaojiao heard this, she suddenly became excited.

【etc! etc! The key factor in the sudden death of the prince came out! You must be careful when choosing this princess! 】

[Sheng Xiuran, the concubine of the Qingguo Palace, was designated as the crown princess by the emperor, but she always liked Prince Jing! Even to the point of obsession! 】

[After King Jing and Sheng Xiuran got online later, King Jing knew everything about the prince's every move! Moreover, the prince died suddenly, who knows if Sheng Xiuran's handiwork was involved! 】

When Qiao Tianjing and Qiao Diyi heard this, they broke out in a cold sweat.

Qiao Jiaojiao was so worried!

[The eldest daughter of General Hussar's family, Xiao Qianlan, is very good! It's a pity that she only became a concubine. She was sincere to the prince, and the prince and her had the best relationship after marriage! 】

[After the sudden death of the prince, Miss Xiao always insisted that the prince's death was suspicious, but she died inexplicably in love a few days later. 】

[Woo woo woo, Bai Yueguang and Bai Yueguang, they are obviously a match made in heaven! 】

[Moreover, Miss Xiao's biological sister is still my second sister-in-law! My stupid second brother, he is stupid but blessed, and he is paired with a girl who is willing to go to the battlefield with him! 】

Qiao Diyi was worried about the prince just now, but now his heart suddenly felt hot, and he felt a little dizzy for a moment.

The second young lady of the Xiao family...

His wife is the second young lady of the Xiao family!

Qiao Tian has been in the court for a long time. Compared with Qiao Diyi, he understands the importance of choosing the crown princess better.

That is the future mother of a country and the wise wife of the future emperor!

However, the news about the selection of the Crown Princess has not been widely publicized, and the candidate is still pending. If he rashly reminds her today, the Crown Prince will definitely be suspicious!

Fortunately, the selection process for the crown princess is very complicated and it will take a long time to finalize it. He must come up with a way to have both ends before then!

At this time, the prince looked at Qiao Tianjing who was thoughtful and suddenly said:

"Da Lang, you are now of marriageable age. Mrs. Qiao must know a lot about the marriageable women in the capital, right?"

Qiao Tianjing's heart moved slightly when he heard this. Could it be that the prince's words meant that the queen intended to inquire about information from the ladies in the capital.

If this is the case, maybe you can use your mother's advice to exclude the concubine of the Duke of Qing from the list.

But in this way, my mother will have to take some risks, and this must be done in a flawless manner, otherwise it is very likely to attract the resentment of the Duke of Qing!

Qiao Tianjing was filled with thoughts for a moment, and then nodded helplessly, "My mother is also a worrier. It looks like she has done a lot of homework."

The prince understood instantly and said with a smile: "Xiaosi always talks about how cute your little sister is in front of the queen mother. The queen mother has long wanted to meet her."

"If it is convenient for Mrs. Qiao, could she please bring Miss Qiao into the palace to chat with my mother?"

Qiao Tianjing immediately responded: "That is my mother's honor."

The prince nodded with satisfaction and said warmly: "Let's go shopping together again."

When Qiao Jiaojiao heard this, she suddenly became excited.

[So I can go visit the palace? Wow wow wow, so happy! 】

Chapter 19 The hero saves the beauty

Several people walked forward together. The fourth prince stopped looking at the lanterns and focused entirely on Qiao Jiaojiao.

He talked to Qiao Jiaojiao for a while, and made faces for a while, but Qiao Jiaojiao ignored him.

【Sister-in-law! My fragrant and soft sister-in-law, where are you? 】

[The crowd searched for him thousands of times, but suddenly looking back, he was in a dimly lit place! Where is this dimly lit place? 】

Qiao Tianjing's whole body tensed up as she was being recited by Qiao Jiaojiao. When she saw her mouthing a line smoothly, she automatically sighed in her mind:

My little sister actually has such outstanding literary talent?

"Quick, quick, quick! The activities in the Caifeng Building have begun!"

"It is said that a big stage has been set up, and the person in charge is Mr. Gu Qianshan, one of the famous Confucians!"

"Lottery! What's today's lottery?"

"It's a strange colored lantern that even spins around when it lights up!"

A burst of cheers suddenly broke out from the crowd, and then everyone squeezed in one direction like mud flowing into the sea.

"Be careful! Protect the two young masters!"

The palace guards were instantly alert and formed a faint circle to protect the crown prince and the fourth prince.

Seeing Qiao Jiaojiao being swept away by the crowd, the fourth prince shouted anxiously: "Sister! I want my sister!"

When the prince saw this, he shouted: "Protect Mr. Qiao and Miss Qiao!"

Qiao Diyi was highly skilled in martial arts, and his chassis was extremely stable. No matter how many people collided with him, he still held Qiao Jiaojiao tightly and remained motionless.

Although Qiao Tianjing is a scholar, he has been following Qiao Zhongguo to keep fit, and he is now firmly on his feet.

Just at this moment, an urgent cry came from beside me: "Miss! Be careful!"

Qiao Tianjing turned around and saw a girl in green, pushed by the crowd, falling straight into a lantern stall nearby.

He didn't think too much at this moment, and decisively squeezed past the two people in front of him, grabbed the girl's wrist, pulled her up with a smooth movement.

The girl bumped against him moderately before she managed to stand still. She raised her head in panic, her eyes red and full of fear.

"Thank you, thank you!"

The girl was filled with gratitude, but the next moment she was slightly stunned.

She didn't expect to meet such a beautiful and gentle face.

The young man has outstanding facial features and graceful appearance, and is truly a handsome young man.

Qiao Tianjing felt a sweet fragrance coming to his nose, and then fell into a pair of watery eyes.

There was still lingering fear on the girl's face, but she could not conceal her beauty and calmness.

He still held the girl's wrist in his palm, and the crowd pushed them closer.

Qiao Tianjing reacted suddenly, hurriedly let go and stood up straight, turning his head slightly, not daring to look any further.

"This girl, please obey the authority in urgent matters. Please forgive me if I have caused any offense."

The girl blushed and turned her head to the other side, humming softly. The faint scent of pine and cypress penetrated her nose.

Qiao Tianjing's heart beat very fast, and he couldn't help but look for Qiao Jiaojiao's figure in the crowd.

Because he really wants to know whether the person in front of him is Miss Han, whether he is his future... wife?

This flow of people slowly passed by, and the surrounding area instantly became much more relaxed.

Qiao Jiaojiao saw with keen eyes Qiao Tianjing and a girl standing opposite each other.

There was a sharp thrust in her throat.

[Second brother, hurry over and see if the eldest brother has rescued the sister-in-law! 】

When Qiao Diyi saw that it was a matter of his eldest brother's life, he walked to Qiao Tianjing's side in a few steps.

Qiao Jiaojiao raised her eyes and screamed instantly.

【Ah ah ah! Sister-in-law! It's my sister-in-law! Brother, you lived up to my expectations and really saved my sister-in-law! 】

[Although the story of a hero saving a beauty is really cliche, I have to say, it's still very heartwarming! This is called a thousand-mile marriage held together by a thread! 】

[Brother, look at how beautiful your sister-in-law is! Oops, why am I, a silly brother, still standing there in such a daze? Hurry up and report your family status! Otherwise, how would my sister-in-law know that you saved her? 】

Qiao Tianjing was already blushing with embarrassment at Qiao Jiaojiao's straightforward words.

Qiao Diyi was so hasty that he was afraid that the sister-in-law whom Jiaojiao was optimistic about would slip away, so he said directly:

"Brother, what is this?"

Miss Han came to her senses and saluted hurriedly.

"Thank you for rescuing me, sir."

When Miss Han's maid saw that the person in front of her was dressed unusually, she immediately called the door.

"Thank you so much, young master. My young lady is the daughter of the minister of the Ministry of Industry."

Qiao Tianjing knew that he had not saved the wrong person, and a hint of secret joy surged up.

He bowed to Miss Han and said politely: "Miss Han, it's not worth mentioning, I am the eldest son of the Qiao family."

The eldest man of the Qiao family!

Miss Han's heart moved slightly. There was only one Qiao family in the capital, and she had attended Miss Qiao's full moon party some time ago.

At this moment, when she looked at Qiao Jiaojiao, she saw something familiar between her eyebrows.

"It turns out to be Mr. Qiao, thank you very much."

The blush on Miss Han's face has not dissipated, but now it is becoming more eye-catching.

Because after returning from the last full moon party, she overheard the conversation between her father and mother, and Mrs. Qiao looked at her as if... she meant to get married.

Qiao Jiaojiao blushed at the sight of the lovers and couldn't help but giggle.

[Heroes are saddened by beauty——]

Qiao Diyi: "..."

The younger sister knows quite a lot, so why doesn't she tell her when he can see the second young lady of the Xiao family?

Although the defense of men and women in the Yong Dynasty was not so strict, official ladies still had to pay attention to their manners and upbringing outside.

Miss Han knew that it was not advisable to stay for a long time, so she bowed to Qiao Tianjing and Qiao Diyi respectively.

"Thank you again, Mr. Qiao, for your kindness, and I'll say goodbye."

"Miss Han, walk slowly."

Qiao Tianjing watched off with a smile.

Qiao Jiaojiao looked at Miss Han's back and smiled, but couldn't help but worry.

[My thin-skinned brother, you have to go back quickly and ask your parents to go to Han Mansion to propose marriage. If you go late, there will be another setback. 】

When Qiao Tianjing heard this, his heart suddenly thought, and he heard Qiao Jiaojiao continue to spoil the story.

[Girl Han is very popular. Your parents will agree to it while you are hesitating! 】

When Qiao Diyi heard this, he quickly winked at Qiao Tianjing.

Brother, did you hear what my little sister said? I'll mention it to my parents when I get home tonight! If you don't say it, I will say it for you!

You've even touched Miss Han's hands! Be responsible!

Qiao Tianjing's face felt hot when he heard this, but he still nodded firmly.

My little sister is right, there are many girls in a family, so since you have identified this girl, you should show your responsibility and courage!

At this time, the prince came up from behind with the fourth prince in his arms.

He had obviously seen the scene just now, and with a smile on his face, he said meaningfully:

"It seems that good things are about to happen for you, Dalang. The Minister of Industry is an upright man and conscientious. This marriage is going to be a good one."

Qiao Tianjing didn't expect that even the prince would tease him, so he couldn't help but shake his head and smile, "My parents make the decision regarding marriage."

At this time, Qiao Jiaojiao no longer had the intention to pay attention to the conversation between Qiao Tianjing and the prince.

[Brother has finished rescuing sister-in-law. Today's biggest task has been completed. It's time for us to join in the fun! 】

[Wow, I really want to go to that Cai Feng Building. The heroine might be showing off like crazy! 】

Chapter 20 Ancient Classic Couplets

Qiao Diyi heard Qiao Jiaojiao's thoughts, so he suggested: "Everyone just ran to the direction of Caifeng Tower. Brother Shen, eldest brother, let's go and have a look too?"

Upon hearing this, Qiao Jiaojiao immediately grabbed Qiao Diyi's lapel tightly, with a look of excitement on her face.

[Second brother really understands me! Could he be the roundworm in my stomach? 】

Qiao Diyi: "..."

Thanks for not being sensitive.

When the prince heard the name "Brother Shen", he couldn't help but raised the corners of his mouth again.

No one has ever called him like that in his life, it's strange.

I heard that Erlang of the Qiao family was highly skilled in martial arts and such a straightforward person, but he didn't know what his strategy was when leading troops to fight.

If you can get some of Qiao Yushi's true biography, you will definitely become a fierce general of the Great Yong Dynasty in the future!

"Then let's go and have a look together. This year's spring is about to begin. It's the time when many talented people come to Beijing, so it must be very lively."

The prince had already opened his mouth, and the group of people walked towards Cai Feng Tower.

Qiao Jiaojiao was looking around and thinking:

[There are indeed many talented people in Beijing at this time, but tonight all the talented people will be overpowered by one person! 】

Qiao Tianjing couldn't help but be surprised when he heard this. Could it be that Meng Guxue was so powerful?

Qiao Jiaojiao was still thinking to herself:

[After all, what Meng Guxue possesses is the crystallization of five thousand years of Chinese wisdom, and just memorizing a few poems is enough to shock everyone. 】

Qiao Tianjing was secretly stunned when he heard this. Although he had long known from his younger sister that Meng Guxue was now a soul from another world, he had no idea that her origin had such a profound cultural heritage.

[It's best not to let King Jing see such a radiant Meng Guxue, otherwise the two of them will really fall in love. 】

When Qiao Tianjing heard this, he looked at Qiao Diyi, and both of them secretly expressed their concerns.

Soon, the Caifeng Tower, decorated with lights and colorful decorations, was in sight.

The palace guards surrounded them and soon opened a path for them through the crowd.

Qiao Jiaojiao and her party came to the front of the crowd.

In front of him was a makeshift stage, covered with red cloth, with only one table, one chair and one person.

The man sitting on the chair has white hair on his temples and a long beard hanging down to his Adam's apple. He looks like an old scholar.

There is an exquisite first couplet hanging next to him, and no one has yet read the second couplet.

Qiao Jiaojiao only glanced at it and couldn't help laughing.

[As expected of ancient romance, classic couplets must have a place! 】

Qiao Tianjing was an extremely knowledgeable man and was once famous as a prostitute in the capital. He read the first couplet and raised his eyebrows with interest.

I saw the words written on the red paper: Wangjiang Tower, Wangjiang Flow, Wangjiang Tower Wangjiang Flow, Jianglou is eternal, and the river is eternal.

[Hey, isn't this the famous couplet of Wangjiang Tower passed down from generation to generation? Yes, for the heroine, it's just a sub-question. 】

[I remember the second line is: Yin Yue Well, Yin Yue Shadow, Yin Yue Well Yin Yue Shadow, Yin Yue Well for ten thousand years, Yue Ying for ten thousand years. Haha, I have such a good memory! 】

Qiao Tianjing tasted it carefully and nodded in approval.

Qiao Diyi: "..."

What a well-written, literary, so boring thing!

[Where is the heroine? Let me see where the heroine is! 】

Qiao Jiaojiao's eyes wandered around.

Qiao Tianjing suddenly had an idea, so the second line that the younger sister just answered was one that Meng Guxue would answer?

Meng Guxue wanted to make a name for herself in the world and become acquainted with the second prince, and then the two of them joined forces to destroy their Qiao family?

How can there be such a good thing in the world!

Thinking of this, Qiao Tianjing signaled Qiao Diyi to be optimistic about Qiao Jiaojiao, and he quickly squeezed into the crowd.

The prince noticed Qiao Tianjing's departure but didn't think much about it.

On this side, everyone in the audience murmured for a long time, but they still could not come up with a satisfactory second line.

On the other side of the red table, Meng Guxue was protected by several maids, her eyes shining and she was confident.

Who would have thought that she happened to know the second line that made the talented people in the capital scratch their heads!

However, she is in no rush to get on stage.

She just wants to wait for everyone to be helpless, wait for Gu Qianshan to announce that no one can match this pair, and then stand up like a goddess descending to earth!

By then, all the talented people in the capital will bow down to her literary talent!

If she casually recited a few lines of ancient poetry, wouldn't they be convinced that she was the most talented woman in the capital?

Thinking of this, Meng Guxue raised the corners of her mouth proudly.

This is the unique advantage of time-traveling women, no one can compare with it!

"I'll try!"

At this time, a loud shout came from the crowd.

Meng Guxue's heart trembled when she heard this. No one could tell her, right?

As soon as these words came out, the crowd took the initiative to let the person out. It was a young man in linen and coarse cloth.

Although the young man is plainly dressed, his eyes are bright and he looks very handsome.

On the stage, Mr. Gu nodded to him, "Come up, right?"

The young man walked onto the red stage step by step and bowed respectfully to Mr. Gu.

"Junior Zhuozhou Tan Hanchi has made a fool of himself in front of Mr.

Mr. Gu stroked his beard and shook his head, "No need to be polite, just put pen to paper."

Tan Hanchi walked to the table and started writing.

Just as everyone was whispering and looking forward to it, Qiao Tianjing came back.

His eyes were bright and there was a smile on his face.

Qiao Jiaojiao was shocked when she heard the name Tan Hanchi.

【ah? Did Tan Hanchi appear so early? This is a big shot! 】

[Even though he is just a commoner scholar now, he is actually very talented, courageous and resourceful, very powerful! 】

[He is the victim of fraud in Spring this year. Not only was the test paper faked by someone else, but the other party also wanted to assassinate him in order to silence him! 】

[King Jing accidentally rescued him, and from then on he had a top-notch strategist who was devoted to death. He came up with many of Prince Jing's strategies and strategies in the later period! 】

[This person is too powerful and cannot be left to King Jing! 】

Qiao Jiaojiao is so anxious, why couldn't she have been reincarnated a few years earlier so that she could speak now!

Upon hearing this, Qiao Tianjing looked steadily at Tan Hanchi, who was writing calmly on the stage.

If it hadn't been for the younger sister's revelation, he would never have imagined that the scholar in front of him was so powerful!

The second prince's luck is also very good. He can rescue even dragons and phoenixes among people by accident. It's like God is helping him!

However, now that their little sister has foresight, they will no longer sit still and wait for death.

The Qiao family had reserved this Tan Hanchi first!

Just when Qiao Tianjing thought of this, Tan Hanchi also stopped writing.

He respectfully handed the red couplet to Mr. Gu.

Mr. Gu lowered his eyes and nodded slightly, "That's right."

Hearing Mr. Gu's approval, everyone instantly became curious.

There were seven or eight people in front of me who mustered up the courage to correct the second line, but Mr. Gu was not satisfied with them all. He was the only one who was recognized.

Meng Guxue's heart skipped a beat when she saw this in the audience.

No way? Could it be that Tan Hanchi had taken the lead?

But except for her, the time traveler, no one else could know about that second line!

Unless...unless this Tan Hanchi is also a time traveler!

Thinking of this, Meng Guxue's face suddenly turned pale.
