Chapter 31 Thanks to my little sister
Hearing this, Zuo Heying suddenly shouted out loud: "Dad!"
Mrs. Zuo's legs and feet softened slightly, and she quickly held on to the seat next to her before barely standing up.
Her face turned red, and she turned to look at Duke Yan, her eyes filled with disbelief.
She could never figure out why her father-in-law didn't care for his son and daughter-in-law, but preferred his married daughter!
Duke Yan's mansion is declining day by day, but Qiao's mansion is prospering. She tried her best to get Ning'er and Dalang to get married, just for the sake of Duke Duke's mansion!
However, Duke Yan did not visit his son and daughter-in-law, but said coldly: "Since my daughter-in-law has made up her mind, the matter has been settled. From now on, the elder man will just pretend that he has no aunt."
"Jing'er, go back and tell Dalang Erlang so that they don't have to wonder why their aunt doesn't come to the house anymore. Their aunt has already disowned them and will never go to Qiao's house again in this life!"
After Duke Yan finished speaking, he snorted coldly and walked away.
Mrs. Qiao looked at Duke Yan's cold back, feeling unspeakable in her heart.
In order to change the tragic fate of the Qiao family, she had to eliminate all potential threats, but this time it was difficult for her father.
Thinking of this, Mrs. Qiao hugged Qiao Jiaojiao and immediately chased after her.
Listening to her father-in-law's heartless words, Mrs. Zuo's last bit of strength was completely drained away. She leaned on the edge of the table and fell to the ground, looking completely lost.
It shouldn't be, things shouldn't be like this.
Damn Zuo Hejing, why is she so cruel!
Zuo Heying suddenly became furious when he saw his father and sister leaving one after another.
"You shrew, are you satisfied now? Why did I fall in love with your face at that time and completely forgot to check what kind of virtue you have!"
Mrs. Zuo was so stimulated by these words that she trembled all over, and a trace of resentment suddenly welled up in her eyes.
"Zuo Heying, how good are you! If it weren't for you, I would..."
Madam Zuo paused in the middle of her words.
Long-lost memories flooded into her mind. If Duke Yan had not come to propose marriage, she would have been married to her childhood sweetheart.
That man loved her so much, how could he be willing to let her suffer such injustice!
Zuo Heying did not delve into Mrs. Zuo's hesitation. He just waved his sleeves fiercely and said coldly:
"If you are sensible, I will go to Qiao's house and apologize. Otherwise, on the day of Da Lang's wedding, I will go alone!"
Mrs. Zuo looked at Zuo Heying's leaving figure and clenched her fists so hard that her nails were almost embedded in her palms.
On the other side, Mrs. Qiao also caught up with Duke Yan.
In fact, it was Duke Yan who didn't want his daughter to chase him with his granddaughter in his arms, so he deliberately slowed down his pace.
Mrs. Qiao lowered her eyebrows and said anxiously: "Dad, do you think I am too unfeeling towards my sister-in-law?"
Duke Yan sighed softly after hearing this.
"Jing'er, actually all this is dad's fault."
Mrs. Qiao's expression changed slightly when she heard this, "Dad, this has nothing to do with you, it's the daughter herself..."
"No."
Duke Yan shook his head, with real regret on his face.
"Back then, my father was busy on the battlefield and neglected to discipline your brother, which caused him to develop a dandy and greedy nature."
"Later on, when I brought him with me, I always felt indebted. So when he fell in love with your sister-in-law and refused to marry her, I indulged him."
"Now that I think about it, if I make one wrong step and make another wrong step, after a hundred years, this Duke's palace will eventually collapse."
These words were so serious that Mrs. Qiao's expression suddenly changed.
"Dad, why did you say that? There is nothing..."
Duke Yan continued to shake his head, "Jing'er, what I found out last time is a hidden danger after all. Your sister-in-law is restless, and your brother is incompetent. I'm afraid there will still be trouble in the future."
"Jing'er, my father is old and I don't know how long he can live. I can only ask you and Zhongguo for something."
When Mrs. Qiao heard this, she burst into tears.
Yan Guogong closed his eyes, and when he opened them again, his eyes were filled with determination.
"If your brother and your sister-in-law do something stupid in the future, you and Zhongguo can deal with it without worrying about the sibling relationship."
"But that child Ning'er is innocent. She has a pure heart and was not raised crooked by her stupid parents. She is a good and sensible child."
"Jing'er, if the Duke's palace is really unsustainable from now on, you can find a good marriage for Ning'er."
After hearing these words, Mrs. Qiao felt sad and distressed for a moment.
Dad was right, my brother and sister-in-law were indeed heartless!
Qiao Jiaojiao felt a little confused.
[Grandfather found out what happened to his aunt? Could it be that my aunt's childhood sweetheart was picked out by my grandfather? But in the original book, the grandfather was still kept in the dark about this incident until the Qiao family was destroyed. 】
Qiao Jiaojiao really couldn't understand, and when Duke Yan mentioned Zuo Anning, she couldn't help but sigh deeply.
[My grandfather still had good intentions. My uncle and aunt were indeed cruel parents. They finally dedicated Ning'er to Prince Jing. 】
[But King Jing only loved Meng Guxue. As soon as Meng Guxue became jealous, King Jing immediately gave Ning'er to one of his guards. 】
[That was the daughter-in-law of Duke Yan's palace. In the end, she became the wife of a guard, and the guard was a big boss and didn't know how to show mercy at all! 】
Mrs. Qiao was so frightened when she heard about Zuo Anning's fate!
It is said that tiger poison cannot eat its seeds, but my brother and sister-in-law actually pushed Ning'er into the fire pit with their own hands!
"Dad, the parents are responsible for the marriage of their children. I'm afraid I, as an aunt, can't get involved."
Duke Yan snorted coldly, "As long as I'm old enough, they can't easily settle Ning'er's marriage!"
"Jing'er, I will arrange this matter. Please help Ning'er pay attention first. It doesn't need to be a high lintel. The main thing is that the man has good character."
After all, Mrs. Qiao couldn't bear the thought of a good girl like Ning'er being punished, so she nodded heavily.
"Dad, don't worry, my daughter understands."
After coming out of Duke Yan's mansion, Mrs. Qiao felt a little heavy.
Qiao Jiaojiao knew that Mrs. Qiao was in a bad mood, so she tried her best to make Mrs. Qiao happy along the way.
When she arrived at the door of Qiao's house, Mrs. Qiao finally felt happy.
"mother?"
A soft voice came from outside the car.
Mrs. Qiao opened the curtain and saw Qiao Tianjing and Qiao Diyizheng coming together, followed by a young man dressed as a scholar.
Upon seeing this, Mrs. Qiao immediately lowered the curtain, but the scholar was also very polite and never raised his head from beginning to end.
Qiao Jiaojiao just glanced at it and was instantly shocked!
【Tan Hanchi! I am not wrong, right? Is the student following my brother and the others Tan Hanchi? 】
Qiao Jiaojiao felt that her brain was about to explode.
[How could Tan Hanchi be related to our Qiao Mansion? He should obviously be from King Jing's side! 】
Qiao Tianjing and Qiao Diyi heard Qiao Jiaojiao's thoughts outside the sedan chair and couldn't help but smile at each other.
Of course, it is thanks to my little sister that the Qiao Mansion can acquire such a talent!
Chapter 32 No, I mind
Mrs. Qiao took Qiao Jiaojiao into the house first. After a while, Qiao Tianjing and Qiao Diyi came over.
When Qiao Jiaojiao saw the two of them, she closed her eyes and was about to fall asleep, but she immediately sat up again with a grunt.
【Ah ah ah! Who can tell me what is going on with Tan Hanchi! 】
[He is such a powerful person, if he can really be used by our Qiao family, that would be great! 】
[And he is the biggest victim of the Chunwei fraud case. If he can be protected, perhaps the fraud case can be thoroughly investigated along Tan Hanchi's line! 】
Qiao Jiaojiao couldn't help but become distracted while thinking about it.
[If you want to talk about a dog, you have to be a male protagonist. While he rescued Tan Hanchi and extended favors, he also protected the treacherous official Qing Guogong in the fraud case. It was a good outcome for both sides! 】
[No wonder he had the last laugh. Could it be that he was playing Mission: Impossible! 】
Mrs. Qiao didn't expect that the scholar who had just followed her two sons would be such an important and key figure, and now even she became curious.
Seeing that Qiao Jiaojiao was still looking at her two brothers eagerly, Mrs. Qiao said casually:
"My mother has never seen the scholar who was following you just now."
Upon hearing this, Qiao Jiaojiao threw herself into Mrs. Qiao's arms and screamed happily.
[Mother, mother, your question really touches my heart! Mom, you always understand me! Woohoo! 】
Qiao Tianjing and Qiao Diyi didn't know that their mother could read Qiao Jiaojiao's thoughts, so they couldn't help but nodded secretly when they heard this.
Sure enough, mother and daughter are connected!
So, Qiao Tianjing explained warmly: "Mom, that person just now is a friend that my second brother and I just met today."
"His name is Tan Hanchi. He is from Zhuozhou. He came to participate in the Spring Festival this year. My son met him once on the Lantern Festival night. He is an upright man and has great literary talent."
"My second brother and I passed by the teahouse today and happened to see him being made things difficult for him by Sheng Langjun of the Duke of Qing's Palace, so we came to help him, and this is how we formed a fate."
When Qiao Jiaojiao heard this, she had to sigh at the magic of fate.
[It turns out that Sheng Mingcheng of the Duke of Qing Dynasty knew Tan Hanchi before Spring! 】
[No wonder the Qingguo Guild chose Tan Hanchi to be the unlucky guy who was replaced. Could this be Sheng Mingcheng's idea? 】
[Unexpectedly, it was such a coincidence that my brother and the others encountered Tan Hanchi being bullied, and they even drew their swords to help him when they were in trouble! 】
[Tsk, tsk, tsk, could it be that God is helping our Qiao family? If Tan Hanchi can be poached, King Jing probably won't be able to come up with so many tricks in the future! 】
When Qiao Tianjing heard this, he couldn't help but shook his head in amusement.
Little sister, it's not God who's helping our Qiao Mansion, but you, this precious pimple!
Since the day of the Lantern Festival, when he learned about Tan Hanchi's extraordinary qualities from Qiao Jiaojiao, Qiao Tianjing sent people to keep an eye on him day and night.
When he heard that he was being bullied today, Qiao Tianjing was furious and pulled Qiao Diyi to rescue him.
In order not to arouse Tan Hanchi's suspicion, they had to act very casually and naturally.
Because during this period of time, I found out that Tan Hanchi had become famous because of the Lantern Festival, and many aristocratic families had offered him olive branches, but he remained unmoved.
It can be seen from this that he has no intention of making friends with powerful people, and he is also very defensive about the approach of others.
Fortunately, everything seems to be going well so far, especially when he and his second brother introduced themselves, Tan Hanchi seemed very surprised.
Qiao Tianjing attributes this to his father who is famous all over the world.
Mrs. Qiao already knew it, so she asked again: "What about Mr. Tan now? Can he be left in Qiao's house?"
Qiao Tianjing shook his head, "He is a man of character. He said that he would come to see you again when the spring period is over and he has achieved success in his studies."
When Mrs. Qiao heard this, she couldn't help but nodded, "He is indeed a rare and good boy."
Qiao Jiaojiao couldn't help but feel anxious after hearing this.
[Oh, you have to keep an eye on this treasure, Tan Hanchi. If Chunwei's ranking is certain, the Duke of Qing will send someone to assassinate him! 】
[If I had been a step too late, I would have been rescued by King Jing! 】
Qiao Tian had already made careful arrangements, and after hearing this, Mrs. Qiao secretly decided to give her husband a warning tonight.
When Qiao Zhongguo returned home in the evening, Qiao Jiaojiao happened to be taken away by Qiao Tianjing to play in the front yard. Mrs. Qiao immediately talked about Chunwei and Tan Hanchi.
Qiao Zhongguo patted Mrs. Qiao's hand and said warmly: "Madam, don't worry, I will talk to the boss tonight."
"The time for Spring Festival has been decided. There will be three events on the 9th, 12th and 15th of February. The person in charge has appointed Xin Ruizhi, the Minister of Rites."
Mrs. Qiao tilted her head when she heard this, "Today is the fifth day of February, isn't that what happened these days?"
"I remember that the Minister of Rites is the son-in-law of Duke Qing, right? This matter really has something to do with Duke Qing's house. Jiaojiao is really amazing!"
Qiao Zhongguo nodded happily, "Yes, if it weren't for Jiaojiao, I wouldn't dare to imagine the consequences!"
Mrs. Qiao once again talked about what happened today at the Yanguo Duke's Mansion. Qiao Zhongguo sighed after hearing this:
"Madam, from now on we just have to be filial to our father-in-law."
Mrs. Qiao nodded slightly, "I think so too."
After a while, Mrs. Qiao brought Qiao Jiaojiao back, and Qiao Zhongguo took Qiao Tianjing and Qiao Diyi to the study.
Qiao Zhongguo got straight to the point and asked about Tan Hanchi. The two brothers looked at each other with solemn expressions, seeming to have made a lot of determination.
Qiao Tianjing was the first to speak: "Dad, do you think my little sister is okay?"
Qiao Zhongguo was slightly stunned, wondering why Qiao Tianjing suddenly turned the topic to Qiao Jiaojiao.
But he didn't deal with his two sons and said without hesitation: "You two brats combined can't even compare to Jiaojiao's toes!"
"That's daddy's baby bump, a caring little cotton-padded jacket. What's wrong with this?"
Before Qiao Zhongguo finished his praise, Qiao Tianjing suddenly fell to his knees with a thud. Qiao Diyi did not hesitate and knelt down with him.
Qiao Zhongguo was shocked. Could it be that these two brats were competing for favor tonight?
I have loved both of them for more than ten years, now why do I love Jiaojiao even more?
"What are you doing? Do you want me to hug you like Jiaojiao?"
The solemn expression on Qiao Tianjing's face almost broke when he heard this.
Dad, can you please stop being so unreasonable!
Qiao Zhongguo also saw that his two sons had serious business to talk about, so he calmed down and said calmly: "If you have something to say, say it quickly, and if you have anything to say, hurry up."
Qiao Tianjing took a deep breath and summoned up the courage to say: "Dad, actually my little sister... my little sister is very extraordinary. From the day she was born, my second brother and I have been able to hear my little sister's thoughts. !"
"And my little sister seems to be able to predict the future. All her predictions have come true one by one, including Tan Hanchi. I only contacted him after listening to my little sister's voice."
"Dad, my little sister is dedicated to our family. Although this matter is really weird, as long as she is a little sister, we are not afraid!"
"Dad, my son didn't want to tell you at first because I was worried that you wouldn't be able to accept it, but the information revealed by my little sister is becoming more and more critical, and my son knows that he can't hide it anymore!"
"You love my little sister so much, so you won't mind this, right?"
Qiao Zhongguo: (☉_☉)
No, I mind.
It turns out that the thoughtful little cotton-padded jacket not only hides the wife, but also hides these two little bastards!
Chapter 33 The highlight: Eastern Suburbs Poetry Society
Seeing their father standing there, Qiao Tianjing and Qiao Diyi became more and more uneasy.
Qiao Diyi was even thinking, Dad wouldn't just take his little sister out and burn her, right?
If Qiao Jiaojiao knew what Qiao Diyi was thinking at this moment, she might roll her eyes: Second brother, I really appreciate your imagination!
"Dad?" Qiao Diyi shouted in a trembling voice, "My little sister is not some ghost or evil spirit. Please calm down and don't be impulsive!"
Qiao Zhongguo cursed angrily: "I'm so calm as a ghost!"
As soon as Qiao Diyi heard this, he winked at Qiao Tianjing and then rushed forward to hug Qiao Zhongguo's legs.
"Brother! Hurry up and carry your little sister! The farther you go, the better. I'll hold dad back!"
This voice howled like a brave and fearless man who loved his sister as much as his life.
Qiao Zhongguo: "..."
How could I give birth to such a stupid son?
Qiao Tianjing: "..."
Second brother, we didn't make an appointment here. Are you sure you haven't read too many martial arts novels?
"Get out of my way, you can all hear Jiaojiao's heartfelt voice, how could I, the father, not hear it!"
Qiao Zhongguo raised his feet, but he didn't expect that these two fools in his family were quite strong. It was hard to tell that his martial arts progressed very quickly.
Qiao Diyi was still immersed in his own martial arts world, while Qiao Tianjing was already smiling.
"Dad, seriously!"
It took a while for Qiao Diyi to come back to his senses, "Huh? Dad, what did you just say?"
Qiao Zhongguo: "..."
Maybe when the eldest child was born, the little bit of wisdom was used up, so the second child was born with a simple mind and well-developed limbs.
"Your mother and I can hear Jiaojiao's thoughts. We all know about the fraud in Chunwei, as well as the misfortune that will happen to the male and female protagonists Meng Guxue and Prince Jing, as well as the crown prince and the fourth prince."
When Qiao Tianjing heard these words, he really felt relieved.
Very good!
During this period of time, he racked his brains and changed his trajectory step by step according to his little sister's prompts, but after all, he was still too young and found it very difficult in many places.
Now that he knew that his father could hear Jiaojiao's thoughts, he felt much more at ease.
Dad is not only a hero in the eyes of outsiders, but in the eyes of his son, he is a mountain that is so calm that it will never waver, giving people an unparalleled sense of security!
"Dad, what are you going to do about the Spring Festival incident?"
When it came to business, Qiao Zhongguo's expression suddenly became solemn.
"Then Tan Hanchi, have you found someone to protect you?"
Qiao Tianjing nodded immediately, "I am using your secret guards. I have deployed two of them."
Qiao Zhongguo has a group of loyal secret guards, who were ruthless characters who went to the battlefield with him in the past. They follow orders and prohibitions, and come and go silently.
When Qiao Tianjing just turned seventeen, Qiao Zhongguo assigned part of the secret guard's scheduling rights to Qiao Tianjing.
Qiao Zhongguo frowned slightly when he heard this, "I'm afraid it's not enough, so I'll add four more people."
Qiao Tianjing couldn't help but be surprised, "Tan Hanchi seems to be just a student with no foundation now. Could the Qingguo Guild have spent so much effort to kill him?"
Qiao Zhongguo's expression instantly became meaningful.
"Boss, what I'm guarding against is not the killer of the Duke of Qing, but the second prince."
"Although he is only thirteen years old now, it can be seen from Jiaojiao's prophecy that he has a deep mind and endless tricks, and he is the final winner."
"So, don't underestimate him just because everything hasn't happened yet. After all, he is the son of destiny that Jiaojiao calls him."
After hearing this, Qiao Tianjing couldn't help but stand solemnly and nodded heavily.
"My son has learned a lesson!"
Qiao Zhongguo is still very relieved about his eldest son, who has been smart since he was a child.
"By protecting Tan Hanchi, we have the upper hand. The rest depends on how I behave in the court!"
Qiao Tianjing remembered that Qiao Zhongguo often used his mouth and his unrivaled momentum to kill everyone in the Jinluan Palace, spraying the air until the sky was dark, and he couldn't help but smile knowingly.
A few days later, spring arrived as scheduled.
All vendors and night markets around Suncheon Street have been banned, and everything is quiet. We must provide the best environment for students to take exams.
On February 18th, three consecutive spring festivals finally came to an end.
The marking process will take nearly a month, and the results are initially scheduled to be released on March 15th.
While waiting for the results to be released, Beijing will usher in one of the largest events - the Eastern Suburbs Poetry Festival!
Qiao Jiaojiao looked around, and finally the third day of March came.
The weather is fine today, and the sun is shining on my body. It is really a beautiful day.
Qiao Tianjing and Qiao Diyi had just come to say goodbye to Mrs. Qiao. Qiao Jiaojiao sat on the couch, clutching the corners of her clothes, looking at her two brothers with tears in her eyes.
[Woo woo woo, some kind brother please take me with him! I promise not to make any noise, not to pee, and not to pee! 】
[Hey, I hate that I was born too late! At least let me open my mouth and talk! 】
[Big brother and second brother, have you seen my eager eyes? Take me with you! 】
Qiao Jiaojiao stretched out her hand towards Qiao Tianjing and Qiao Diyi, screaming non-stop.
Mrs. Qiao had already learned from Qiao Zhongguo that the whole family could read Qiao Jiaojiao's mind. At this moment, she couldn't help but frown when she heard Qiao Jiaojiao whining.
"Boss, second, Jiaojiao seems to want to go with you. Just take her with you. I'll ask Grandma Liu to accompany you."
Qiao Tianjing and Qiao Diyi looked at each other and smiled. They came here specifically to take their little sister with them.
"Son, I obey!"
Qiao Jiaojiao was instantly pleasantly surprised!
【Ah ah ah! Brother, come and hug me! Let's go now! 】
The Capital Poetry Festival is held every year, and Spring Festival is held once every three years. This year, the two events happened to coincide with each other, and the excitement was unmatched by the previous two years.
Today, most of the carriages in the capital were heading to the eastern suburbs. They were so crowded that they could no longer walk on Yintian Road.
Anyway, the weather was fine, so Qiao Tianjing and Qiao Diyi walked over with Qiao Jiaojiao in their arms.
The location is at the foot of Wangjing Mountain in the eastern suburbs outside the city. Peach blossoms bloom there every year in March, which is very romantic.
Qiao Jiaojiao sat in Qiao Diyi's arms, her eyes moving around.
Suddenly her eyes lit up and she screamed.
【Brother! Brother! That's my sister-in-law! Wow, sister-in-law is so beautiful today! 】
The marriage between Qiao and Han has been completed, that is, both parties have agreed with each other, and it is auspicious.
Now that the wedding date has not been decided, the woman is still free to go out.
Qiao Tianjing's heart skipped a beat when he heard Qiao Jiaojiao's words. He immediately looked in the direction Qiao Jiaojiao pointed, and sure enough he saw Han Yaxian in a lotus root pink dress.
The Poetry Festival is recognized as the only day in the year when you don't have to pay too much attention to the defense of men and women.
Therefore, the ladies walking on the street today did not even wear curtains, and men and women would not sit separately at the poetry party later.
During the bustling crowd, Hanya Xian did not look back, but the side of her face showed a peaceful smile, which made Qiao Tianjing's heart beat like thunder.
Qiao Jiaojiao couldn't help but chuckle.
[Tsk, tsk, tsk, even a gentleman like my eldest brother is not exempt from vulgarity. 】
[I remember that the wedding date was later set for September! Brother, if you wait patiently, you will soon be able to stay together with your beautiful sister-in-law! 】
Qiao Tianjing's face turned red when Qiao Jiaojiao said it, and his eyes no longer dared to look at Hanya Xian.
At this moment, someone tapped Qiao Tianjing on the shoulder from behind.
Chapter 34 The stupidity is over!
Qiao Tianjing turned his head to look, and immediately bowed slightly to salute.
"You don't have to be polite, sir."
The person who came was none other than Prince Shen Yuanzhan.
Qiao Diyi was more sincere. When he saw that the prince was visiting incognito again, he immediately grinned, "Brother Shen, we meet again!"
Qiao Tianjing: "..."
Second brother, this... is also a skill!
The prince couldn't help but smile heartily, "Not bad, not bad, just be as casual as Erlang!"
The prince came closer to look at Qiao Jiaojiao again, smiled and stretched out his hand to her, "Brother Shen, can I give you a hug?"
Naturally, Qiao Jiaojiao would not hit the prince in the face, so she immediately smiled sweetly at him and leaned close to him.
The prince was in a very good mood when he saw this, and gently took Qiao Jiaojiao over.
"Last time you and Mrs. Qiao went to the palace to see my mother, my mother was full of praise for you, saying that there is no such lovely girl as you in the world."
The prince said this in an affectionate way, and he really loved Qiao Jiaojiao a little more.
After Mrs. Qiao and Qiao Jiaojiao went to Yikun Palace that day, the prince found that the Queen's face really had more smiles on her face, and she often talked about Qiao Jiaojiao.
"If you have time, go visit my mother with Mrs. Qiao more often. Brother Shen will definitely give you a lot of delicious food."
As soon as she heard that there was something delicious, Qiao Jiaojiao immediately cooperated and jumped in the prince's arms. Her cute appearance instantly made the prince happy.
"Let's go, the poetry show is about to start, let's go and see it together."
The prince said, without any intention of sending Qiao Jiaojiao back to Qiao Diyi, he just carried her away.
Qiao Diyi:?
what happened? I haven't hugged enough yet!
The prince is here to steal his sister!
Qiao Tianjing smiled and shook his head, and asked who could resist hurting their Qiao family's baby bump!
There were a lot of people on the street just now, but Qiao Jiaojiao and her group were still inconspicuous.
Once here in the eastern suburbs, there are three handsome men paired with a soft and cute baby. No one can resist turning a blind eye to this combination!
Moreover, most of the people who came to participate in the poetry meeting were young masters and ladies from official families in Beijing, and soon someone recognized the prince and Qiao Tianjing.
Everyone saw that the prince was very elegant and did not dare to come forward to disturb him, but they couldn't help but become curious about the identity of the little baby in the prince's arms.
"Hey! You don't know yet? That baby must be the little one from the Qiao family!"
"Who would bring a baby who can't even speak to the Capital Poetry Society? It's said that only the Qiao family loves their daughters as much as their lives and their sisters as pearls."
"I remembered, isn't this Miss Qiao who peed all over the prince at the full moon banquet!"
As soon as this statement came out, everyone burst into laughter.
Qiao Jiaojiao had a sharp ear. When she heard this sentence, she hid her head in the prince's arms in embarrassment.
【hateful! This happened many months ago, why do they still remember it? 】
Qiao Jiaojiao can already imagine that when she grows up, someone will bring up this old story to make fun of her!
The prince smiled so hard that his eyebrows curled up, "It's a pity that Xiaosi didn't come today, otherwise he would make fun of Jiaojiao again."
Qiao Jiaojiao couldn't help but be curious at this time.
[That silly Baitian loves to join in the fun. Why didn't he come today? 】
Seeing Qiao Jiaojiao's curiosity, Qiao Tianjing asked her a question.
The prince shook his head helplessly, "Xiaosi is enlightened. His husband is Mr. Di Zaiying, a famous teacher specially invited by the father. He is very strict and he is not allowed to come out to have fun."
"When I left the palace, Xiaosi pulled my sleeve and started crying. He said that the little sister would definitely come, and he would never see her again."
When Qiao Tianjing heard this, the image of the fourth prince bursting into tears appeared in his mind, and he couldn't help but shook his head in amusement.
He couldn't help turning his head to look at Qiao Jiaojiao, thinking that Qiao Jiaojiao would burst into laughter, but unexpectedly, her little face wrinkled slightly, but she looked extremely serious.
Qiao Tianjing's heart skipped a beat when he heard Qiao Jiaojiao whisper:
【It's over! 】
Qiao Tianjing's heart suddenly trembled, what happened?
Qiao Jiaojiao looked solemn.
[It's over, it's over, I'm afraid it's not because the old King of Hell is bored in the underworld and insists on seducing that silly Baitian to accompany him! 】
[Di Zaiying is from the Northern Kingdom, and he is Princess Yuliu's old lover from the Northern Kingdom! 】
[He has been incognito for so many years in the Great Yong Dynasty and made his reputation loud and clear, just to get close to the second prince, help the second prince win the throne, and avenge Princess Yuliu who died that year! 】
[But the article didn't say that he was a silly and sweet enlightenment teacher. I remember that when Di Zaiying and the second prince first met, Di Zaiying was the editor of Wenying Palace. 】
Wenying Palace is a palace in the palace that specifically stores classics and books. Di Zaiying's job is similar to that of a librarian.
When Qiao Tianjing and Qiao Diyi heard this, their scalps were numb and they were filled with shock.
A northerner who was Princess Yuliu's old lover managed to sneak into the palace so easily, and even became the fourth prince's tutor!
Isn't this equivalent to just throwing the fourth prince into the tiger's mouth and letting him pick it up?
Qiao Jiaojiao suddenly said "ah" again, which scared Qiao Tianjing and Qiao Diyi to the point where they almost went weak.
[No wonder that silly Baitian died inexplicably on the Dragon Boat Festival's birthday. Could it be that Di Zaiying threw him into the pool and drowned him? 】
[After all, no matter how precocious Silu Baitian is, he will not be wary of his enlightening teacher. 】
[As the fourth prince's teacher, even if Di Zaiying temporarily calls the fourth prince away, no one will be confused! 】
[Isn't this a case solved? 】
Qiao Jiaojiao clapped her hands suddenly, and the more she thought about it, the more it made sense.
[Di Zaiying is also a tolerant person. Before the Dragon Boat Festival, he clearly had so many opportunities to make a move, but he waited for his birthday just to make the queen and the prince feel heartbroken! 】
Qiao Tianjing and Qiao Diyi breathed a sigh of relief when they heard this.
If Di Zaiying didn't have such vicious thoughts, they wouldn't even have time to react.
After today's poetry meeting, I must go back and discuss it with my father!
[Tsk, tsk, the cause of death of Silly Baitian is broken, then what is the cause of my death? 】
Qiao Jiaojiao suddenly started thinking. She, a passerby, only lived for three years, and the author didn't even bother to make up the cause of her death. He just said "died at the age of three".
Isn't this unconscionable?
At least she made up two more words, and no matter whether it was death by falling, drowning, poisoning or cold, she could figure it out.
Well now, she has to be on tenterhooks the whole year she turns three!
Qiao Jiaojiao's words instantly made Qiao Tianjing and Qiao Diyi lose their mood.
The four words "died young at the age of three" are really like a big mountain, weighing on the hearts of the Qiao family all the time.
The atmosphere was a little dull when a cheerful female voice suddenly sounded not far away, instantly attracting Qiao Jiaojiao's attention.
"Haha, it's really fun to ride a horse! Sister, keep up!"
Chapter 35 The twins of the Xiao family
Qiao Jiaojiao turned around and looked over, and saw a girl in fiery red clothes sitting on a horse by the river embankment not far away, raising her hands.
Her eyes were clear, her cheeks were smooth, and her brows were full of heroic spirit.
The most rare thing is the happy smile on the girl's face, which is more dazzling than the peach blossoms behind her!
Even though today is a poetry meeting, the girl is still dressed in neat riding clothes, looking full of life and lively.
Qiao Jiaojiao looked in the direction of the girl's raised hand again, and she almost lost her sight at this sight.
I saw another girl riding a snow-white horse, slowly walking towards this side.
She wears a white jade hairpin on her head, a green robe on her waist, her face is graceful and soft, her skirt is slightly raised in the spring breeze, her eyebrows are smoky, and her jade muscles are accompanied by the wind. She is definitely a first-class beauty!
The loud voice of the girl in red also attracted the attention of others, and someone immediately revealed the identities of the two girls.
"Aren't those the two daughters of General Hussar's family?"
"That's right, the one in green is the eldest lady Xiao Qianlan, and the one in red is the second young lady Xiao Qianyue!"
"I heard that Xiao Qianlan is known as the most beautiful woman in the capital. When I saw her today, she certainly lived up to her reputation!"
"Hey, brother, if you want to say that the most beautiful woman in the capital, she should be Sheng Xiuran from the Duke of Qing's Palace, right?"
"Yeah?"
"Sheng Xiuran will definitely be there today, won't we know when we compete?"
Everyone started talking, and when Qiao Jiaojiao heard this, she immediately forgot about her own affairs.
Anyway, we are still far away from the age of three, and it is right to enjoy ourselves in time!
【Ah ah ah! The Xiao sisters are here! My silly second brother, did you see that, that is my second sister-in-law! 】
Qiao Jiaojiao jumped excitedly in the prince's arms, turned to the prince and said:
[Prince, Prince Bai Yueguang, your sweetheart is here! That's your concubine! 】
Qiao Diyi didn't need Qiao Jiaojiao to remind him, he was already stunned!
There were countless women in the capital, but Qiao Diyi never bothered to take a second look at them.
Without him, all the ladies are of the weak wind supporting the willow, and they all look soft. He has rough hands and feet, and he is really afraid of breaking their hands accidentally.
But the girl in front of him was full of vitality, with skillful movements and heroic appearance while sitting on the horse, which completely touched Qiao Diyi's heart that had never been moved before!
Miss Xiao Er......
The younger sister calls her second sister-in-law!
At this moment, Qiao Diyi couldn't help but feel elated.
In comparison, the prince was much more reserved.
He had always known that there were two candidates for the position of Crown Princess, one was Sheng Xiuran, the legitimate daughter of the Duke of Qing, and the other was the eldest daughter of the Xiao family not far away.
The queen was interested in Miss Xiao, and the prince secretly preferred the Xiao family more.
However, the choice of the Crown Princess was of great concern to the country, and the Crown Prince did not dare to get involved in too many personal feelings. However, when he saw Miss Xiao, his eyes lit up.
"Little sister, wait for me!"
Xiao Qianlan couldn't help but have a headache when she saw Xiao Qianyue pulling the rope and trying to ride the horse again.
Before going out, my mother warned me not to let my little sister go too crazy, but my little sister has a wild temper, how can she be restrained?
I can only play nonsense with her.
Thinking of this, Xiao Qianlan lightly kicked the horse's belly and galloped away, leaving a green shadow in the wind.
When Qiao Jiaojiao saw this, her eyes instantly shone with longing.
[Wow wow wow, Miss Xiao looks at Wen Jing, but she is actually very good at equestrian skills! The movements are perfect, no wonder Prince Bai Yueguang is also attracted to her! 】
Thinking of this, Qiao Jiaojiao looked at the prince with a narrow look.
Just as the prince calmly looked back, he saw Qiao Jiaojiao staring at him and smiling mischievously.
The prince couldn't help but smile, "You are such a brat, why are you smiling?"
Qiao Jiaojiao snorted softly.
[You were peeking at Miss Xiao, I saw it! 】
[Alas, I hope the queen can convince the emperor to let Miss Xiao become the crown princess. 】
[Otherwise, the Chunwei fraud case involving the Duke of Qing would have been exposed. After committing such a big crime, their family would not be able to occupy the position of crown princess. 】
As soon as this statement came out, Qiao Tianjing took it seriously.
Fortunately, he and his father have already started planning. If Qing Guo Gong really dares to use Chunwei to practice favoritism and enrich himself, his father will definitely skin him!
As for Qiao Diyi, don't mention it, his soul has drifted away with Miss Xiao Er.
The poetry meeting officially started in the middle of the month, and now the time is almost here.
Seeing this, the prince stopped delaying and quickened his pace while holding Qiao Jiaojiao in his arms.
Passing through a peach blossom forest with various shapes, what comes into view is a large open space specially opened up.
A beautiful platform was set up on the north side of the open space, with desks, pens, ink, paper and inkstones already prepared on it.
Under the stage, there are many stone tables and futons scattered at random, and the emphasis is on spontaneity.
The prince has participated in it several times and knows the rules inside.
The Capital Poetry Society does not differentiate between men and women, does not talk about superiority or inferiority, and does not talk about intimacy. Everything is based on literary talent and poetic talent.
Although everyone secretly teases and flatters others, there is always harmony on the surface.
The young ladies who arrived in advance all vacated the first few stone tables with a tacit understanding.
Qiao Jiaojiao took a quick look, oh, the hero has arrived!
He sat in the second seat from the left, lowering his eyes and wondering what he was thinking.
He was so handsome that he attracted everyone's attention just by sitting there. It wasn't until the prince arrived that the situation changed slightly.
Qiao Jiaojiao suddenly thought of the heroine Meng Guxue.
She had just been watching the beautiful women all the way and almost forgot about the heroine!
Qiao Jiaojiao's eyes searched carefully around the right side, and finally saw Meng Guxue sitting on the edge!
She is only ten years old this year, so it is too early to participate in the poetry meeting, and she has not yet fully grown up. Among all the beautiful ladies, she is really inconspicuous.
No one would notice her except Qiao Jiaojiao.
Meng Guxue's body was turned to the left, her small mouth slightly open, and her face was filled with naked surprise.
Her eyes were fixed on the second prince on the left!
Qiao Jiaojiao couldn't help but be confused when she saw this.
[Looking at Meng Guxue's shocked look, why does it feel like this is the first time she has met King Jing? 】
[Or, in Meng Guxue's eyes, King Jing is already so handsome that every time they meet, he is as stunning as when they first met? 】
When her thoughts reached this point, Qiao Jiaojiao suddenly felt extremely sour in her teeth.
In the original work, after the male and female protagonists come together, there are too many descriptions of the plot.
It ranged from three days and three nights in the bed to not being satisfied, and it ranged from wiping each other's mouths after eating. Qiao Jiaojiao couldn't help it, and some of them jumped to watch.
In the final analysis, the author's writing style is not enough. Wang Jing's handsome face makes her write a greasy feeling.
No matter how Qiao Jiaojiao complained, today was indeed the first time Meng Guxue saw the second prince.
And with just one glance, she was completely smitten!
Chapter 36 The heroine's ambition
Identity: Prince
Appearance: The appearance is as beautiful as a painting, and you are astonished by the heavens.
Personality: cold and distant, depressed and reserved
Isn't this the proper male protagonist of a time-travel novel?
Meng Guxue couldn't help but scream crazily in her heart. At this moment, the prince had to step aside!
Meng Guxue was extremely lucky. She was fooling around at home and finally got the cheap girl to agree to allow her to come to the poetry meeting to meet the world.
If she doesn't come, won't she miss out on her rightful husband?
Meng Guxue was excited, and a wave of heat rolled in her chest, making her cheeks turn a little red.
As soon as the title of the poem comes out, she won't wait any longer. She will definitely use the best poem to surprise the second prince and win him over completely!
The prince hugged Qiao Jiaojiao and sat on the left side. When he saw the second prince, he smiled and greeted:
"My second brother is faster than me. He is one step ahead of me."
This sentence was originally just a casual remark of the prince, but in the ears of the sensitive and suspicious second prince Shen Yuanbai, it took on another layer of meaning.
The second prince's eyes were serious. Perhaps the prince felt that he was overstepping his bounds. Was this a warning to him to pay attention to his dignity and propriety?
Qiao Jiaojiao noticed the gloomy look on the second prince's face and couldn't help but curl her lips secretly.
[The male protagonist must be thinking wildly again, right? His character is tolerant of sinister birds of prey, sensitive and suspicious, and typically spends his life healing his childhood. 】
[I used to think that he was pitiful and everything he did was excusable. But now from the Qiao family's point of view, he is so pitiful. He is simply the living king of hell who will do whatever it takes to achieve his goals! 】
[Whether it was the Chunwei fraud case to cover up Duke Qing, or knowing that the river dam was about to collapse later, deliberately concealing it in order to attack the prince's power, or indulging his subordinates in spreading epidemics in Minzhou, each one of them now seems to be extremely cruel. ! 】
[I used to be afraid that I had a wrong outlook on life, which is why I felt this way about male protagonists! 】
[Amitabha, I am a believer who has returned from my lost way. I will definitely do more good deeds in this life. Please God grant me a lot of merit and change my destiny! 】
Qiao Tianjing had just heard about the collapse of the river dam and the epidemic in Minzhou, and he felt that his eyes were black. He didn't know how many people would suffer from this in the future.
Hearing what happened next, he was a little bit dumbfounded. It wasn't until Qiao Jiaojiao said the words "change your destiny against the will of heaven" that Qiao Tianjing finally showed his face.
That's right, what the Qiao family will do next is to go against the will of heaven and change their fate!
"See the prince, see the second prince."
A clear voice suddenly sounded, startling Qiao Jiaojiao who was deep in thought.
She looked up and saw a brother and sister standing between the stone tables of the crown prince and the second prince.
The young man in front is dressed in cloud satin and brocade, with a smile on his lips and frivolous eyes. He is holding a folding fan and has an aristocratic air about him.
The girl who was one step behind was a bit hard to take away.
She was dressed up like a fairy, with apricot face and peach cheeks, and a soft smile on her lips, which made her look very charming.
"Mr. Sheng, Miss Sheng don't need to be polite."
The prince spoke softly, and Qiao Jiaojiao realized that the brother and sister in front of her were actually Sheng Mingcheng and Sheng Xiuran from the Qingguo Palace!
[Hmph, just now I thought the men were handsome and the women were pretty, but now if I look carefully, I see that it's only the third month of the lunar calendar and they are fanning themselves with a folding fan. What are they pretending to be! 】
[And Miss Sheng, don't think I didn't see it, your eyes are almost glued to the male protagonist! 】
When Qiao Tianjing heard what Qiao Jiaojiao said, he quickly glanced at Sheng Xiuran.
Looking at it, I saw that Sheng Xiuran's eyebrows were full of spring, and her eyes were lingering on the second prince, lingering for a long time.
Everyone noticed the situation here and couldn't help but secretly sneered.
Everyone knew that there was no respect for dignity today, so they didn't go to see the crown prince and the second prince, but the two people in the Duke's Mansion wanted to break the rules.
Is this because you are afraid that you won't be able to flatter me on weekdays?
Just now they were discussing whether Miss Xiao or Miss Sheng should be the most beautiful woman in the capital. Now, at least Miss Xiao has no intention of flattering!
Meng Guxue was sitting in the corner. When she saw such a charming beauty standing in front of the second prince, she immediately rubbed her hands anxiously.
Her sixth sense has always been very accurate. That Sheng Xiuran is definitely her love rival, and he is a very competitive one!
Damn it, why hasn't the poetry meeting started yet!
Just as Meng Guxue was feeling anxious, a sudden sound of banging was heard on the stage, instantly attracting everyone's attention.
After Qiao Jiaojiao learned the identity of the Sheng brothers and sisters, she lost interest in them, so she twisted around in the prince's arms, trying to see the scene on the stage clearly.
Seeing this, the prince gently closed his arms to prevent Qiao Jiaojiao from falling, and then raised his eyes to look at Sheng Mingcheng.
"What else does Mr. Shenglang have to do?"
By implication, didn't you see that you and Miss Sheng were blocking Jiaojiao?
Sheng Mingcheng hesitated to speak, and finally decided to find a suitable time to ask the prince for grace, so he bowed and resigned.
Before Sheng Xiuran left, her eyes lingered on the second prince's face.
However, the second prince never raised his head to look at her, which made Sheng Xiuran frustrated.
She asked her mother to spend hundreds of taels of silver on the dress she was wearing, and it took the embroiderer from Jiangnan three months to sew it stitch by stitch.
She dressed up today just to let him take a look at her.
Is it true, as he said at the beginning, that when we meet again we just treat each other as strangers?
Meng Guxue was always paying attention here. Seeing Sheng Xiuran leaving sadly, she couldn't help but raise her eyebrows proudly.
How could such vulgar and vulgar fans get into the eyes of my true destiny! No matter how fancy you dress up, it's all in vain!
Looking at Meng Guxue's triumphant energy, she seemed to have regarded the second prince as the one in her palm.
The field of vision became wider again, Qiao Jiaojiao felt comfortable and leaned in the prince's arms obediently.
I saw two old gentlemen sitting on the stage, one was Mr. Gu Qianshan, whom I had met once during the Lantern Festival, and the other was the equally respected Mr. Zhao Wenzhu.
When everyone saw this, they kept silent to show their respect for the two gentlemen.
In addition to the dozens of stone tables in the field, the grass behind him was also filled with students who came to the capital to take the exam this time.
Gu Qianshan stroked his beard out of habit and said straight to the point:
"Today, throw away the red tape and make friends with poetry."
Zhao Wenzhu continued: "In the past, I often wrote poems with the theme of chanting things, lamenting that the grass grows and the orioles fly, the country is peaceful and the people are safe. This year, Mr. Gu and I decided to do the opposite."
As soon as this statement came out, most people looked surprised, and those who wanted to use the poetry club to get ahead became uneasy.
For today's poetry meeting, many of them had already decided on the topic and scratched their heads to write a few poems. But now it seems that all their efforts were in vain?
Gu Qianshan ignored everyone's reaction. He stood up suddenly, his face suddenly became solemn, and he said in a deep voice:
"On the day of the Lantern Festival, I saw with my own eyes that thieves from the Northern Kingdom sneaked into Kyoto and assassinated the prince. The crime is unforgivable!"
"Although the Great Yong Dynasty is singing and dancing today, we must not forget the hatred and shame of the past, and we must not forget those iron-blooded men who shed their lives and blood on the battlefield to defend their homeland!"
"A gentleman should be prepared for danger in times of peace, a gentleman should learn from the past, and a gentleman should constantly strive to improve himself!"
"Everyone, please—"
Chapter 37 I can only use my ultimate trick!
In a gorgeous and romantic peach blossom forest, hearing such passionate and sonorous words, perhaps because the contrast was too strong, Qiao Jiaojiao couldn't help but get goosebumps all over her body.
She felt that the prince's arm around her suddenly tightened, which showed that the benevolent prince was also filled with emotion and deep feelings.
There was silence in the field for a moment, and suddenly a sudden shout of praise sounded:
"Mr. Gu said it well!"
Qiao Jiaojiao turned her head and couldn't help but put her hand on her forehead.
That's right, the person who is so sincere and boasts so dryly can only be her silly second brother who only knows how to read and knows nothing about poetry!
Qiao Diyi couldn't help but feel confused when he saw everyone staring at him.
"Look at what I do, why don't you still compose poetry? Are you all like me, when it comes to composing poetry, your mind is full of mush?"
puff--
As soon as these words came out, the audience burst into laughter.
Xiao Qianyue was sitting next to Xiao Qianlan, and she smiled particularly briskly when she heard this.
Xiao Qianlan tugged on Xiao Qianyue's sleeve and reminded her in a low voice with helplessness: "Sister, please smile more quietly."
Xiao Qianyue looked confused, "Why are you laughing so quietly? This person is really interesting!"
"Sister, look at this room full of young ladies, who dares to admit so openly that he is a idiot?"
Xiao Qianlan raised her hand and gently poked Xiao Qianyue's forehead, and said dotingly:
"You idiot, sister, you are going to slap me for saying this. This is the second son of the Qiao family. He is just good at martial arts."
"Good at martial arts?"
When Xiao Qianyue heard this, her apricot eyes suddenly brightened.
"Since he is Lord Qiao's son, his martial arts must be far superior to ordinary people, right?"
Seeing this, Xiao Qianlan quickly grabbed Xiao Qianyue's sleeve and said, "Sister, don't be ridiculous. Today is a poetry meeting, not a martial arts competition."
Xiao Qianlan knew her sister very well. If she didn't hold her back, Xiao Qianyue might have stood up and challenged Qiao Diyi on the spot.
Seeing her sister's nervous look, Xiao Qianyue puffed her cheeks slightly and said, "Okay, okay, I understand. Sister, hurry up and write your sour poem. I promise to be good, okay?"
Xiao Qianlan was particularly worried, so she could only tug on her sister's sleeve and ponder the poem carefully.
Although Meng Guxue did not expect Mr. Gu to come up with such a theme, she was not panicked at all.
With the thousands of poems in her mind, any one she picked at random would be outstanding.
But now, in order to make a splash, and to avoid clashing with another unknown time traveler, she could only choose a more tricky or strange angle.
In this case, it would take some thought and careful consideration.
Qiao Jiaojiao's eyes were darting around, while Qiao Tianjing cocked his ears in order not to miss Qiao Jiaojiao's vital thoughts.
[Maybe it's because the plot of the Lantern Festival is different, and due to the butterfly effect, the theme of today's poetry meeting has also been changed. 】
[In this way, I don't know which poem the heroine will choose, but there is no doubt that any poem she copies will definitely amaze the audience! 】
Qiao Jiaojiao does not have confidence in Meng Guxue, but unconditionally believes in the ancestors of China for five thousand years!
【How to do it? The male and female protagonists must not be allowed to fall in love, otherwise they will plot against the Qiao family even though they are plotting against each other under the covers! 】
While Qiao Jiaojiao was thinking hard, Qiao Tianjing was also quickly looking at the entire audience.
How about... find a way to send Meng Guxue away?
In this room, Qiao Jiaojiao's heartbeat just sounded.
[It's probably impossible to make a fuss about Meng Guxue. Judging from her eagerness to try, she is determined to become famous in the capital today. 】
Qiao Tianjing: "......"
Qiao Tianjing didn't understand Meng Guxue. Unlike Qiao Jiaojiao, she understood Meng Guxue's sense of superiority that spanned the ages as a time-traveling woman.
Moreover, Meng Guxue was obviously ambitious. She worked hard to climb up and become a master.
Qiao Jiaojiao's eyes widened.
[Since Meng Guxue's path is unavailable, we can only find a way to remove the male protagonist. 】
Qiao Tianjing couldn't help but frown when he heard this. It was very difficult for the second prince to know his status.
Qiao Jiaojiao was also worried. In her eyes, the male protagonist was much more difficult to deal with than Meng Guxue.
[Let me see if there are any blindness charms or deafness charms in the mall! 】
[Anyway, don't let the male protagonist see the female protagonist stealing the show, just don't let the two of them look at each other! 】
Qiao Tianjing, Qiao Diyi:?
What mall? What blindness and deafness charm?
Qiao Jiaojiao called out the Merit Mall, and a transparent panel appeared in front of her, with Merit Points: 140 clearly written in the upper left corner.
Although Mrs. Qiao has been doing good deeds in the name of Qiao Jiaojiao, her merit points have stopped moving since they reached 140 points two months ago.
Qiao Jiaojiao guessed that this merit mainly had to be done by herself.
Qiao Jiaojiao waved her fingers and looked at all the unlocked products, but there was no blindness or deafness talisman!
There are some leg-stretching pills and epilepsy pills, but these pills don't look like stickers, and the male protagonist is not a fool. Why should he eat something from unknown sources?
Qiao Jiaojiao closed the mall in frustration and couldn't help but sigh.
[Alas, the old King of Hell is still too stingy, the golden finger is not opened wide enough! 】
[In this case, I can only use my own trick! 】
When Qiao Tianjing and Qiao Diyi heard this, their eyes lit up.
The little girl actually has a secret trick hidden?
[In ancient romance novels, the male protagonist always had some kind of problem, such as mysophobia or allergies to all women except the female protagonist. 】
[What a coincidence, King Jing has such a setting! 】
Qiao Tianjing and Qiao Diyi: "..."
Why do I suddenly have a bad feeling?
Qiao Jiaojiao simply hesitated.
[Then I will use my special peeing trick! If I peed on him, a mysophobic person like him would definitely rush home and take a bath for a day and a night! 】
Qiao Tianjing and Qiao Diyi: "..."
Great, the hunch came true.
Although this trick works, it feels a bit shameless...
Qiao Jiaojiao did as she said. She suddenly sat up from the prince's arms, and then reached out her hand to the second prince.
The prince looked puzzled, "Girl Qiao, what's wrong with you?"
Qiao Jiaojiao kept leaning against the second prince, whimpering and confessing.
[I'm sorry, I'm so shameless, I'm going to change my life by peeing! 】
The second prince glanced sideways at Qiao Jiaojiao and immediately chose to turn a blind eye.
But Qiao Jiaojiao was shameless. Seeing that the second prince ignored her, she screamed louder and louder until everyone looked over in surprise.
Seeing this, Qiao Tianjing had to stand up and "make fun of it."
"Be sweet and sweet, big brother will hug you."
Qiao Jiaojiao secretly exclaimed: [Silly brother, you don't know what a great cause your sister is undertaking! Don't stop me! 】
Qiao Tianjing almost couldn't help but laugh out loud, but his face became more serious and angry.
"Be good, Jiaojiao, don't act nonsense, how can you pester the second prince to hug you."
Qiao Jiaojiao's eyes immediately lit up when she heard this.
【Brother! You still understand me! That's right! Let the hero hug me! 】
Everyone suddenly realized that this little girl from the Qiao family wanted to be hugged by the second prince.
Sure enough, children also understand beauty and ugliness, and they know how to dig into the second prince at such a young age!
But this little girl from the Qiao family is so cute, if they were asked to hug her, they would be willing to do so.
With this thought in their hearts, everyone couldn't help but look at the second prince.
Chapter 38 If a woman is not ruthless, her status is unstable
The second prince suddenly frowned when he looked at Qiao Jiaojiao who was fluttering towards him.
He doesn't like children and has never been around children.
What's more, this is the child of the Qiao family.
The prince couldn't help but smile helplessly when he saw that Qiao Jiaojiao was really eager to go to the second prince.
"Second brother, it seems that this girl from the Qiao family likes you very much."
The implication: How about you give her a hug?
The second prince was originally unwilling, but when the prince said this, he had to think more.
If he resists too much, will the prince think that he has a problem with the Qiao family?
What's more, will the onlookers think that he is deliberately putting on airs?
After all, the prince could hug her, but he refused to hug her.
No, Zhu Cui Pavilion had just been destroyed some time ago, and there was an incident involving assassins from the North. This was the time for him to keep a low profile.
Thinking of this, the second prince finally reached out to Qiao Jiaojiao.
Qiao Jiaojiao's shameless plan was half successful, and her eyes suddenly shone brightly.
Seeing the second prince put her dryly on his lap, Qiao Jiaojiao silently prayed for herself.
[Main character, hero, I'm just a child, don't hit me later——]
At this time, one after another people had finished writing poems.
As soon as the rice paper was delivered to Mr. Gu and Zhao, they examined it carefully.
If they came across a certain line of poetry that had merit, they would read it out in public and appreciate it with everyone present.
The young lady who has been recognized holds her head high and accepts the admiration or jealous gazes of others.
Meng Guxue had actually finished writing it long ago, but at this moment, she couldn't help but feel uneasy.
Because her handwriting is really ugly!
Before traveling through time, Meng Guxue had not practiced calligraphy much.
After time travel, she spent all day thinking about how to get ahead, and she had to fight with the concubines and concubines in the house, so she had no time to practice calligraphy!
If this piece of paper is handed over, it won't be thrown away by the two gentlemen as waste paper, right?
Meng Guxue was extremely upset. After much thought, she gritted her teeth and punched the stone table, rubbing the back of her hand until the skin peeled off and bled.
Meng Guxue grimaced in pain and burst into tears, but she resisted not making a sound, and immediately took out a handkerchief and wrapped it around her hand.
If a woman is not ruthless, her status will be unstable!
If the two gentlemen ask later, she will have a perfect reason!
When the time comes, go home and practice your calligraphy quickly, so that it can be said to be perfect!
Thinking of this, Meng Guxue slowly stood up.
Qiao Jiaojiao had been paying attention to Meng Guxue, and when she saw her standing up, she was instantly excited.
Meng Guxue took a deep breath and walked firmly towards the two gentlemen. Halfway through, the corners of her mouth raised uncontrollably.
It's just an unknown imaginary dynasty. Let's see how she, a woman from the new era, plays around with these old antiques!
The most important thing is that she wants to capture the second prince.
Wouldn't it be a matter of minutes for such a jewel-like figure to get the throne once she had her help?
When the time comes, she wants the second prince to clear out the harem for her and pamper her alone. She wants her mother to honor the world!
Wow——
Meng Guxue had just finished thinking about her sweet dream when suddenly there was a commotion at the table.
Meng Guxue quickly stood up on tiptoes to look, and saw that the second prince's face was ashen, his eyebrows were gloomy, and he was holding Miss Qiao's daughter far away with one hand.
Qiao Jiaojiao: "..."
[No exaggeration, I really saw murderous intent on the male protagonist's face just now. 】
Seeing that Meng Guxue was already walking towards the high platform, Qiao Jiaojiao knew that she could not delay any longer.
So she suppressed her shame and opened the floodgates to release the water, and then the scene before her happened.
Qiao Jiaojiao looked down. Because the second prince reacted very quickly, she only had time to wet a small circle on his front.
Of course, for people with mysophobia, even a small amount is intolerable.
Qiao Tianjing had made preparations early. When he saw the second prince holding Qiao Jiaojiao's back collar with a gloomy look on his face, he immediately took it with distress.
If you lift the collar like this, it will strangle your little girl's neck!
But on the surface, Qiao Tianjing had to apologize repeatedly.
"Second Prince, my little sister Wu Zang, please show your respect."
Qiao Diyi was much more straightforward. He rushed over in a few steps, apologetic on his face.
"Second Prince, my little sister is still young. She didn't do it on purpose. If you want to blame me, I'm thick-skinned and thick-skinned. I can withstand the Second Prince's punishment!"
When everyone saw this, they couldn't help but talk about everything.
"I remember that this young lady from the Qiao family peed on His Highness the Crown Prince at the full moon banquet!"
"I also remember that His Highness the Crown Prince seemed to have laughed it off."
"If you ask me, the Qiao family shouldn't be fooling around and bringing their children here."
It was Sheng Xiuran who said this.
She had a lot of followers, and suddenly some people in the audience began to accuse the Qiao Tianjing brothers.
The second prince looked gloomy. At this time, he felt uncomfortable all over his body, especially the area where his hem was soaked, as if he had been stabbed with needles.
Hearing the discussions around him, the second prince felt cold in his heart.
Since the prince is generous and careless, he, as his younger brother, has no reason to have a fit.
Thinking of this, the second prince's eyes were cold, but he said lightly:
"That's all, it's just a child. The weather is cold in March, so Da Lang should take Miss Qiao down as soon as possible to change her clothes."
Hearing this, Qiao Tianjing immediately showed gratitude on his face, "Thank you very much, Second Prince, for your magnanimity. Then..."
Qiao Tianjing glanced at the second prince's hem.
The second prince instantly felt that the wet spot was becoming more and more intolerable. He turned to the prince and said:
"Eldest brother, my second brother will go back to the palace first."
The prince nodded slightly. He knew that the second prince had always been very particular about food, clothing, housing and transportation, especially the personal belongings, which had to be spotless.
When the second prince saw the prince nodding, he strode away immediately, with even a hint of eagerness in his steps.
Meng Guxue opened her mouth slightly when she saw this.
Why... why did you leave so quickly? She hasn't read out her poem yet!
If Madam Meng hadn't taught her some courtesy and integrity during this period, Meng Guxue would have wished she could have spoken out to persuade the second prince to stay.
At this moment, Meng Guxue regretted her procrastination again.
If she had just stopped caring about handwriting and been more decisive, the second prince would have been amazed by her!
Now seeing the second prince's back disappearing into the peach forest, she could only stamp her feet helplessly!
Qiao Jiaojiao finally breathed a sigh of relief as she watched the second prince leave.
Don't doubt it, if it hadn't been in public, if she hadn't been the daughter of the Qiao family, the hero would have strangled her to death.
[Great, even though I became a shameless person, I finally drove the male protagonist away! 】
[The Poetry Club was originally one of the sweet plots, but now I have ruined it. The male and female protagonists will not have such a good chance to fall in love later. 】
[Tsk, peeing can really change your life...]
Chapter 39 It's time to show off
Meng Guxue felt extremely regretful, and the only person present who could share her feelings was Sheng Xiuran.
She had just considered the words and thought she had a good poem. She had just stood up and was about to hand it to Mr. Gu and Zhao, but the second prince was angered by the girl from the Qiao family!
Sheng Xiuran felt heartbroken when she thought that she had been looking forward to this Eastern Suburbs Poetry Fair for half a year.
Now she can only hope that her poems will gain the favor of Mr. Gu and Zhao and spread her reputation as a talented woman.
In this way, the second prince must be able to see her in a different light through other people's words!
It has to be said that Sheng Xiuran and Meng Guxue want to be together again.
While Meng Guxue was still depressed, Sheng Xiuran had already walked in front of her.
There was arrogance between her eyebrows, and she couldn't help but sneer when she saw Meng Guxue standing there in a daze.
Whose girl is this? She looks young, but she is eager to stand out.
ridiculous!
Sheng Xiuran's face was full of contempt, but when facing Mr. Gu and Zhao, she instantly changed her appearance to a dignified and decent one.
"The Sheng family has made a beautiful work, and I would like to invite two gentlemen to take a look at it."
A child on the stage immediately took the rice paper from Sheng Xiuran.
Meng Guxue came back to her senses and couldn't help but roll her eyes when she saw Sheng Xiuran's pretentious look.
In front of my poems, no matter which girl you are from, don't even think about getting ahead!
"Hello, this is my poem, please pass it along!"
Meng Guxue walked to the edge of the stage in a few steps and thrust her poem into the child's hand.
"you!"
Sheng Xiuran suddenly showed displeasure when she saw that Meng Guxue had suppressed her poem.
However, Meng Guxue ignored her and walked back to her seat.
Sheng Xiuran secretly thought that she could not be rude in front of others, so she suppressed the anger in her heart and Shi Shiran returned to the stone case.
On the other side, Qiao Diyi immediately carried Qiao Jiaojiao through the peach grove, while Aunt Liu was guarding outside the peach grove.
[Second brother, hurry up, hurry up! Hurry up! Meng Guxue's poem will be read soon, I don't want to miss it! 】
【Ouch——】
Qiao Jiaojiao urged her too hastily. Seeing that there was no one around, Qiao Diyi simply used Qinggong, scaring Qiao Jiaojiao's whining into ahhhhh——
Aunt Liu was very quick with her hands and feet, and she put Qiao Jiaojiao into clean clothes in just a few seconds.
When Qiao Diyi saw it, he flew out without any urging from Qiao Jiaojiao.
【Ah ah ah! Second brother, you are awesome! You are awesome! 】
Qiao Diyi had just walked out of the Taolin with Qiao Jiaojiao in his arms when he heard Mr. Gu on the stage asking: "Who is Miss Meng?"
Qiao Jiaojiao's eyes suddenly lit up when she heard this.
[Oh ho, I caught up! It's the heroine's show-off time! 】
Meng Guxue slowly stood up and said politely: "I have met Mr. Gu, my daughter Meng Guxue."
Everyone looked at Meng Guxue and were secretly surprised when Mr. Gu called her name.
You must know that those whose names were called just now are those whose poems have been recognized.
Miss Meng looks young, does she still have some hidden poetic talent?
In the audience, Sheng Xiuran clenched the handkerchief and almost broke a silver tooth!
Her poem and this Meng Guxue were handed in together, but Mr. Gu only singled out Meng Guxue without calling her name.
Could it be that the poems she wrote are not as good as those of the unknown Meng Guxue?
While everyone was talking about it, Mr. Gu suddenly said: "Miss Meng's poem is extremely well written."
As soon as these words came out, everyone took a breath of air.
When the word "excellent" came out of Mr. Gu's mouth, it was really a very high praise!
"The whole poem is as follows: I swear to sweep away the Xiongnu without caring about my body, and five thousand mink brocades are mourning Hu Chen. The poor bones by the Wuding River are like those in a spring boudoir's dream!"
After Mr. Gu finished speaking, the whole place was so silent that you could hear a pin drop.
Qiao Tianjing couldn't help but look shocked.
If he hadn't already known from his younger sister that these poems were written by an old man from Meng Guxue's world, even he would be impressed by Meng Guxue's poetic talent.
Unlike other people who either eulogized the soldiers or railed against the northerners, Meng Guxue connected "riverside bones" with "spring boudoir dream", which is really sad and very suitable for her. The identity of the daughter's family.
[Tsk, tsk, tsk, Meng Guxue really chose this song well. 】
Even Qiao Jiaojiao nodded repeatedly, affirming Meng Guxue's move.
The prince looked a little surprised. He did not expect that the ten-year-old daughter of the Meng family could be so talented and outshine everyone present.
Gradually, there were whispers in the venue, including exclamations and doubts.
"How could she write such a poem at such a young age? Maybe she had already hired someone to compose it, just to show off, right?"
"That's right, to do such deceitful things just for the sake of publicity shows that your character is not good!"
These words were provoked by Sheng Xiuran by asking the little sisters around her who only obeyed her.
As soon as this statement came out, it was immediately echoed by most people.
Upon seeing this, Qiao Jiaojiao nestled comfortably in Qiao Tianjing's arms, looking like she was watching a good show.
[How will the heroine respond? It would be great if I could get the melon seeds at this time. It would be standard to watch the fun while knocking! 】
Upon hearing this, Qiao Tianjing took out a carefully wrapped teething cake from his arms and handed it to Qiao Jiaojiao with a smile.
Qiao Jiaojiao took it with a smile on her face.
[Ah~ Such a considerate brother, you want to take advantage of my sister-in-law! 】
Qiao Tianjing: "..."
Little sister, can't you stop your mouth even if you eat?
Seeing the voices of doubt getting louder and louder, Mr. Gu slowly stood up.
He looked solemn and his expression was very serious.
The most important thing for a scholar is character, followed by talent.
If Miss Meng really had such literary talent, he would definitely not have wronged her today.
If Miss Meng is really a person who is seeking fame and reputation, then there will no longer be a place for her in the Eastern Suburbs Poetry Club in the future!
Meng Guxue inhaled slightly, she also knew that today's poetry meeting was very important to her!
"Miss Meng, I have a few words to ask you."
Meng Guxue nodded immediately, "Mr. Gu, please speak."
Gu Qianshan showed Meng Guxue's rice paper to everyone. Qiao Jiaojiao couldn't help but laugh when she saw the words that looked like dogs crawling.
You must be a modern person who can't write calligraphy!
"First, this word..."
Upon hearing this, Meng Guxue immediately raised her hand in public, secretly calling her lucky.
"Mr. Gu, my right hand was injured and it's a little difficult to hold the pen. I didn't mean to stain the eyes of these two gentlemen."
She slowly took off the handkerchief, revealing the blood-stained back of her hand. This reason was indeed impeccable.
Qiao Jiaojiao bared her teeth secretly.
[Let me go, this Meng Guxue has some courage——]
Seeing this, Gu Qianshan nodded secretly, which was understandable.
So he opened his mouth and asked: "Secondly, where did the Xiongnu and Wudinghe come from, and are there any classics to support them?"
Meng Guxue didn't expect these old scholars to be so serious. Fortunately, she had already thought of her words.
Chapter 40 Here comes the wife snatcher!
"Looking back, Mr. Xiongnu, the people who represent the Huns are traitors from the Northern Kingdom. As for the Wuding River, I made it up."
Speaking of this, Meng Guxue also felt a little guilty.
She had traveled through to the present and had no intention of reading a book on geography. How could she know if there was a river between the Great Yong Dynasty and the Northern Kingdom.
This "Wuding River" is harmless, right?
Gu Qianshan frowned slightly when he heard this.
There is indeed a river at the junction of Dayong Dynasty and Beiguo. Coincidentally, the name of the river is "Wuding".
Every citizen of the Yong Dynasty should know about the Great Victory of Wuding. It was a great victory that General Qiao turned the tide of the war. Wuding River is also famous for this.
Miss Meng's change of "Wuding" to "Wuding" is really inappropriate if we look into it further.
Just now when everyone heard Mr. Gu reciting a poem, they all subconsciously thought it was "Poor Bones by the Wuding River". Now that they heard it was "Wuding", their eyes suddenly became subtle.
Qiao Jiaojiao noticed the change in the atmosphere. She thought about it carefully and suddenly slapped her thigh.
[Oh, I almost forgot about dad's great achievements! What a great victory in Wuding! 】
[It's over, it's over, the heroine is kind of carrying it on her back. At a small level, she is ignorant and does not even know about Wudinghe. At a large level, it is possible to set up a literary inquisition! 】
[Now let's see what Prince Bai Yueguang's attitude is. 】
Obviously, everyone was thinking the same thing as Qiao Jiaojiao at this moment, and everyone looked at the prince in unison.
The prince sat at the front seat with a calm expression. Seeing this, he slowly spoke: "Miss Meng, don't you know Wuding River?"
Meng Guxue did not expect that the prince would take the initiative to talk to her, but based on everyone's expressions and the surrounding atmosphere, she was not so stupid as to think that the prince was amazed by her.
Wuding River?
It turns out that there was a river in the Great Yong Dynasty called Wuding River?
The confusion on Meng Guxue's face was genuine, and the prince knew better.
He withdrew his gaze and said calmly: "Ms. Meng's poetic talent is astonishing and rare, but a truly erudite person should not just limit herself to gorgeous words and beautiful verses, but should also read through the past and present, keep her family and country in mind, and never forget her righteousness."
After the prince finished speaking, the whole hall fell into silence.
Everyone's expressions were solemn, respectful and fearful, which made Meng Guxue feel suffocated.
This was the first time she had seen the majesty of the imperial family in this strange dynasty.
The prince just sat there quietly, which already gave people a strong sense of oppression.
At this moment, Meng Guxue, who originally looked down on these feudal dregs, had her legs trembling, and her back was wet with sweat unknowingly.
She had a hunch that if she showed any signs of having heard of Wuding River, she might have been dragged down on the spot...
"Mr. Gu, let the poetry meeting continue. Miss Meng's poetic talent is still worthy of recognition."
The prince made the final decision, and the atmosphere gradually became more relaxed.
After all, the stupid move of writing Wuding River as Wuding River is enough to prove that this poem was indeed written by Meng Guxue himself.
Meng Guxue sat back uneasily, unable to figure out why every time things developed unexpectedly, none of them went smoothly!
Her legs were still weak at this time!
But no matter what, Meng Guxue's poetic talent was recognized by the prince, and she suddenly entered everyone's field of vision.
Afterwards, many other people's poems were picked out for appreciation, but none were as stunning as Meng Guxue's.
Qiao Jiaojiao felt bored after watching it for a while. She looked left and right, seeing the vivid look in the prince's eyes, and couldn't help but think of the fourth prince when he was a child.
"Jiaojiao, come here."
He stretched out his hand towards Qiao Jiaojiao.
Qiao Jiaojiao was also happy to have a good relationship with the prince. She smiled and got into the prince's arms, poking the prince's face or tugging on the prince's sleeves from time to time.
The prince's eyebrows were relaxed and he was very indulgent. When everyone saw this scene, they couldn't help but secretly be speechless.
Isn't it true that the prince is too fond of this girl from the Qiao family?
Meng Guxue quietly paid attention to the prince's side. When she saw the wanton smile on Qiao Jiaojiao's face, she couldn't help but feel envious and felt sour in her heart.
So reincarnation is a technical job.
It would be great if she time traveled to this young lady from the Qiao family. Everyone would love her and pamper her. What kind of man would she not be able to choose from in the future?
Meng Guxue only cared about envy and jealousy of Qiao Jiaojiao, but she didn't know that a pair of rather spiteful eyes were staring at her closely!
At noon, when it was time for lunch, the first half of the poetry meeting stopped.
The prince didn't pay much attention when he was out, so he called brothers Qiao Tianjing and Qiao Diyi to have a meal with him.
Qiao Diyi couldn't help but wonder when he saw that the prince had no intention of letting go of Qiao Jiaojiao.
He was a straight-tempered person, so he couldn't figure it out so he asked directly: "Brother Shen, aren't you afraid that my little sister will pee on you?"
Qiao Jiaojiao: "..."
【I won't pee randomly! 】
Qiao Tianjing and Qiao Diyi: I don't believe it.
The prince raised his eyebrows and smiled when he heard this, "No problem, I brought two extra clothes."
Qiao Diyi: "..."
It seems that the prince is still well prepared...
"Prince! Prince, please stay!"
Suddenly a soft voice came from behind.
The prince turned around and saw Sheng Mingcheng coming quickly, with a somewhat anxious expression on his face.
Qiao Jiaojiao raised her eyebrows along with the prince.
[What is Sheng Mingcheng doing looking for the prince? 】
Seeing the prince stop, Sheng Mingcheng took a breath, glanced at Qiao Tianjing and Qiao Diyi, and said with some embarrassment:
"Your Highness, could you please lend me a moment to speak?"
Qiao Jiaojiao was extremely curious at this time.
[Prince, promise him now! Look what this Sheng Mingcheng wants to do! 】
The prince thought that Sheng Xiuran was one of the candidates for the prince's concubine, so he nodded slowly.
"Let's go forward, Da Lang Erlang is waiting for me here."
Qiao Diyi saw the prince hugging Qiao Jiaojiao and leaving. When he was about to give a warning, Qiao Tianjing grabbed Qiao Diyi's sleeve.
"Let my little sister follow."
Only in this way can we know what Sheng Mingcheng is planning.
Qiao Diyi realized it later, right!
Walking to the foot of a peach tree not far away, the prince looked indifferent and asked, "What do Mr. Sheng want to say to me?"
Sheng Mingcheng looked embarrassed, looking a little embarrassed.
Qiao Jiaojiao:?
[Why does Sheng Mingcheng suddenly act like an innocent young boy? Isn't he a playboy? And there are a lot of them throughout the house! 】
Sheng Mingcheng licked his lips nervously before bowing and speaking.
"Your Highness, I would like to ask for a favor from you!"
The prince raised his eyebrows slightly, "Tell me and listen."
Sheng Mingcheng showed joy on his face and couldn't wait to say: "Your Highness, I am pleased with the eldest daughter of General Qiusi's family. I would like to ask Your Highness to go and say a few kind words in front of the Holy Lord and grant a marriage to your Majesty and Miss Xiao!"
Qiao Jiaojiao:? ? ?
[Let me go, this Sheng Mingcheng stole his wife and got it in front of the rightful owner! Haha, now there is something good to watch! 】
