Chapter 141 Grandfather is awesome!

Zuo Anning has lived in Qiao Mansion for three days.

She was worried about disturbing Mrs. Qiao too much, so she asked to resign several times, but Mrs. Qiao stopped her every time.

Duke Yan also came to Qiao Mansion early this morning and was chatting with Qiao Zhongguo in the study.

Qiao Jiaojiao was sitting on Duke Yan's lap, playing with an educational toy similar to the nine-link ring given to her by the fourth prince.

In fact, she would understand it after seeing it, but she was worried about scaring her family, so she pretended to be dumbfounded and shook the nine-ring ring.

Duke Yan protected Qiao Jiaojiao with a doting look on his face, and said with emotion: "Jiaojiao looks exactly like He Jing when she was a child."

Qiao Zhongguo smiled heartily when he heard this, "It's best to be like the madam, but it's the end of the world for someone as rough as my son-in-law!"

When Qiao Jiaojiao heard this, she looked up at her father with a look of disapproval.

[Daddy shouldn't call himself a rough guy, daddy is called a ruffian! And the more mature you are, the more attractive you are! 】

Qiao Zhongguo was very proud to hear Baobaodu praise himself.

That is!

He is actually just being humble!

If he wasn't handsome, his wife wouldn't have taken a fancy to him at first glance at the poetry festival!

After chatting for a while, Duke Yan looked slightly solemn and got down to business.

"Zhongguo, do you think four days are enough?"

It has been four days since Zuo Heying and Liniang reconciled, but the news has been kept secret, so no one in Beijing knows about it.

When Qiao Jiaojiao heard this, she also put down the nine-ring chain in her hand, and her young face showed a serious look.

[Grandfather is talking about the separation of uncle and aunt, right? That depends on whether the tail is swept clean or not. 】

[For the second prince, there is still a difference between Li Xusheng and other subordinates. After the second prince succeeded in usurping the throne, he directly made Li Xusheng the general of the hussars, which is evident in his honor and favor. 】

[So this time Li Xusheng dies, the second prince will definitely not let it go! 】

[Once the news of the separation of his uncle and aunt spreads out, the second prince will definitely guess that Li Xusheng suffered a setback at the hands of Duke Yan. 】

[Grandpa will be careful when the time comes, the hero will definitely find ways to take revenge! 】

Qiao Zhongguo kept nodding his head when he heard this. This is what worries him most now.

Qiao Jiaojiao stretched out her little hand and scratched her chin, then continued thinking:

[There is also the place where my aunt goes. 】

[My grandfather sent a message before that his aunt was sent out of Beijing under arrangements by his parents, but I really can't trust those parents. 】

[What if the male protagonist follows the clues, digs out the traces of his aunt, and brings her back to the capital...]

"ah!"

When Qiao Jiaojiao thought of this, she suddenly let out a low voice, and her little body immediately sat upright.

Duke Yan was startled by Qiao Jiaojiao's sudden move. He quickly leaned over and asked, "Jiaojiao, dear, what's wrong with you?"

Qiao Zhongguo felt itchy in his heart, anxiously waiting for what Qiao Jiaojiao would say next!

Qiao Jiaojiao grabbed Yan Guogong's lapel, her eyes widened, and she shouted in her heart:

[My grandfather lived an honest life with no flaws. If the second prince wants to take revenge on his grandfather, there are only two ways: one is to start with his uncle, and the other is to start with cousin An Ning! 】

[My uncle spends all day living and drinking. He has too many flaws. We must pay attention to this! 】

[If we start with cousin An Ning, then the most important things for a boudoir daughter are nothing more than reputation, chastity, and marriage. 】

[If the second prince comes into contact with his aunt and learns the cause and effect, he will definitely use this to discredit cousin An Ning and ruin her life! 】

【no! The second prince must not be allowed to find his aunt. Even her parents will be severely beaten. If this matter is leaked, it will be a disaster for cousin An Ning! 】

When Qiao Zhongguo heard this, his expression was extremely solemn. He picked up the key points and analyzed a few sentences with Duke Yan, especially the whereabouts of Mrs. Zuo.

Qiao Jiaojiao nodded repeatedly and her eyes lit up!

[Fortunately, dad is smart and thinks about the same thing as me, so it's just a reminder to my grandfather! 】

After hearing this, Duke Yan Guo glanced at Qiao Zhongguo and suddenly showed a profound look on his face.

"Loyalty to the country..."

Qiao Zhongguo was slightly excited. He had not heard this tone from his father-in-law for a long, long time.

I still remember that when he was pursuing his wife, looking for opportunities to visit his father-in-law, and taking the opportunity to come to please his wife, his father-in-law looked at him like this and said lightly: "loyal to the country..."

Thinking of this, Qiao Zhongguo immediately stood up and said seriously: "Please give me some advice from my father-in-law!"

Qiao Jiaojiao looked curious.

[Why did Dad react so strongly? 】

She turned to look at Duke Yan, and saw that Duke Yan looked calm and said calmly:

"I've lived a long time. If the city didn't have this, how could we have made it this far?"

"Then the Chen family and his wife were able to kill Li Xusheng's family in order to gain access to the Duke's palace. This shows that they were also vain and ruthless."

"So I never trusted them at all!"

"It's true that Liniang was sent out of Beijing by them, but I had already sent someone to wait halfway, and took advantage of the opportunity to take Liniang to another place."

"After all, she is An Ning's biological mother. I will not kill her, but she will never get in touch with the capital in this life!"

"So let alone the second prince, even the Chen family and his wife will never know where Liniang has gone."

Qiao Jiaojiao was shocked and happy when she heard this!

【Ouch! Grandfather is so mighty! 】

"Not only that......"

Duke Yan smiled lightly.

"The second prince can't pry out any information from the Chen family and his wife, because Chen Qi has resigned and left the capital, and his whereabouts are unknown."

Qiao Jiaojiao was stunned when she heard this!

[I'm so numb, I'm just worrying too much, there are so many human beings around me! 】

"On the night when Heying and Liniang reconciled, I lay on the couch and couldn't sleep. I always felt that there were too many mistakes in this matter, and I was afraid that something would happen sooner or later, so I thought about it for a long time and came up with this plan."

"Chen Qi was unwilling at first, so I could only be mean and use my power to pressure him, use the murder case back then to threaten him with the lives of everyone in the Chen family!"

"Then Chen Qi is also a traitor but not courageous. My attitude is extremely tough. Chen Qi saw that he was powerless and handed in his resignation in despair. I then worked hard on his behalf and approved it on the same day."

"So yesterday, Chen Qi wrapped himself up in gold and silver and left the capital with his good wife and concubine."

"He was slippery. He was afraid that I might do something evil to the couple along the way, so he and his servants split into three groups and left the city, and finally escaped!"

"In this way, although the matter of He Li and the Chen family's departure from Beijing will cause some rumors, in the end they are rootless rumors and will dissipate over time."

Duke Yan spoke eloquently, and after he finished speaking, he saw Qiao Zhongguo and Qiao Jiaojiao, one big and one small, staring at him.

He raised his lips slightly and said, "What's wrong? Is there anything else that's not thoughtful enough?"

Qiao Jiaojiao: [Bull! Grandpa, you are awesome! 】

Qiao Zhongguo looked at Duke Yan meaningfully, and wanted to think more deeply in his heart.

My father-in-law was an old man who followed the late emperor in his wars in the north and south, and his methods of killing were unfathomable.

Although the father-in-law said that he would spare his sister-in-law's life, Chen Qi's family also disappeared.

But in the final analysis, only his father-in-law knows their whereabouts, and only his father-in-law knows whether they are dead or alive...

Qiao Zhongguo, like Duke Yan, had spent half his life in the military. He had some guesses about what Duke Yan would do.

Thinking of this, Qiao Zhongguo felt filled with emotion:

I finally know where all these smart people in my family come from!

It turns out that the father-in-law passed it on to the wife, and the wife passed it on to the eldest son and Jiaojiao, leaving him and the second child alone!

Chapter 142 An Ning's husband choice

Thinking of this, Qiao Zhongguo looked at Duke Yan with some resentment.

"Master-in-law, since you are already confident, why do you come to ask my son-in-law?"

Are you sure this isn't meant to insult him?

Duke Yan smiled faintly, "Zhongguo, you are smart and smart. Aren't you worried that you might have missed something?"

Qiao Zhongguo: "..."

confirmed! It's an insult that goes against the truth!

How could he deserve the words "agility and intelligence"?

"My son-in-law doesn't see anything missing. It's time to take good care of his brother. Since there are no problems with the Chen family, the second prince will most likely start with his brother."

When Duke Yan heard this, the smile on his face suddenly disappeared.

He sighed softly, "This incident has hit Heying hard. He seems to have changed a bit, but I still understand that nature is unchangeable."

"Let's wait and see, He Ying...it's time for him to make a big mistake."

Duke Yan's voice weakened and his brows knit together tightly.

Seeing this, Qiao Jiaojiao raised her little hand and touched Duke Yan's eyebrows, and shouted with a smile: "Wai...Wai Zuhu!"

Duke Yan Guo lowered his head and looked at Qiao Jiaojiao's little face. His heart instantly melted. He couldn't think about his bastard son. He hugged Qiao Jiaojiao and stood up.

"It's better to be Jiaojiao, Jiaojiao is my grandfather's sweetheart~~"

Qiao Jiaojiao chuckled, and the nine-ring ring in her hand jingled.

When Qiao Zhongguo saw this scene, he couldn't help but raise the corner of his mouth.

He suddenly remembered that there was another thing that could make his father-in-law happy.

"My father-in-law, didn't you ask Madam to pay attention to An Ning's husband before?"

When Duke Yan heard this, his eyes lit up.

"Did you find it?"

Qiao Zhongguo smiled and nodded, "I wonder if my father-in-law has ever heard of the name Tan Hanchi?"

Duke Yan's expression changed slightly, "But what about Tan Xiuzan, the upstart in the imperial court and the famous figure next to the Holy Emperor?"

Qiao Zhongguo smiled broadly, "Exactly!"

Duke Yan frowned slightly, "I wonder what his character is like. Can he behave properly?"

Duke Yan was absolutely trustworthy, so Qiao Zhongguo didn't hide anything. From the spring fraud to the last military power in the southern border, he praised Tan Hanchi like a flower.

Duke Yan was surprised when he heard this. He didn't expect that Tan Hanchi was such a capable person.

"In this case, it's really great..."

Duke Yan murmured and repeated.

Qiao Zhongguo was also moved when he saw Duke Yan, and then he continued:

"Although the good relationship between Mr. Tan and Erlang Dalang cannot be made public, Mr. Tan is now a popular person in front of the Holy Emperor. He must be invited to Dalang's wedding in September no matter what."

"At that time, my father-in-law can look at him carefully at the banquet. He will definitely be the best among people!"

When Duke Yan heard this, he couldn't help but raise his eyebrows, "Zhongguo, I haven't seen you exaggerate Lang Erlang like this on weekdays. It shows that you really like him."

Qiao Zhongguo laughed when he heard this, "It's just that this kind of thing is based on your own will."

"If the father-in-law is satisfied by then, we will give them a break and let them make their own decision."

"It's not sweet to be forced. They are both excellent children. They must not mess up the couple's rules."

Duke Yan knew it well and nodded lightly:

"Once the news of Heli comes out, the capital will be full of rumors. It's just a good time to spy on that boy Tan. If he believes the rumors, then I don't dare to have this grandson-in-law."

Qiao Jiaojiao has great confidence in Tan Hanchi.

[Haha, then my grandfather will be ready to see his grandson-in-law. Based on my understanding of Tan Hanchi, he will never let the wind take its course. 】

[He and Cousin An Ning met last time. I wonder if he has this intention. 】

[But having said that, this marriage probably still needs Emperor Yong's approval! 】

[After all, in the eyes of outsiders, Duke Yan's Mansion and our Qiao Mansion are one, and Tan Hanchi is now a very useful person to Emperor Yong. 】

[Hey, it's really troublesome! 】

Qiao Jiaojiao sighed, which also aroused Qiao Zhongguo's sad thoughts.

It depends on whether Emperor Yong is more respectful or more suspicious of the Qiao family.

Of course, it would be great if Emperor Yong was willing to think the opposite and use Tan Hanchi as his spy to infiltrate the Qiao Mansion.

Because in this case, this marriage will be a mistake!

After lunch, Duke Yan did not take Zuo Anning away, but went back alone.

He had decided to release the news about his son, daughter-in-law, and divorce when he returned. If An Ning followed him back to the Duke of Yan Kingdom, he might hear some bad rumors.

Simply let her stay in Qiao Mansion for a longer period of time, and Jing'er will properly protect An Ning.

————

In the afternoon, the news of the divorce between Duke Yan and his wife swept the capital.

After hearing this, everyone looked like they were watching a good show.

Although according to the news released by the Duke of Yan State, the two of them decided to separate because of their emotional discord.

But everyone knew Zuo Heying's virtue, and secretly speculated whether he had misbehaved, which made Mrs. Zuo frustrated, and this was how Heli's incident came about.

Everyone was jumping up and down. Seeing that the Duke of Yan's mansion couldn't find any gossip, they turned their attention to the Chen family.

When they found out, everyone was shocked.

It turns out that Chen Qi had submitted his resignation the day before yesterday, and now he is missing!

Such a strange situation has made the reconciliation between the Prince of Yan Kingdom and his wife become very confusing, and various bizarre versions have been spread.

Zhufeng originally sent people to inquire carefully, but as a result, everyone knew about it, which made it easier for him to go back and resume his life.

In the clan's mansion, the second prince's expression was extremely gloomy when he heard Zhufeng's report.

He knew what Asheng had experienced in the past.

So when he decided to let Ah Sheng approach Mrs. Zuo, he had hesitation in his heart.

Unexpectedly, he just mentioned it a little, and Ah Sheng agreed immediately.

According to Ah Sheng's previous report, Mrs. Zuo has agreed to find out information about Qiao Mansion for him.

Now that Madam Zuo and the Crown Prince Yanguo have suddenly separated, and Ah Sheng has disappeared inexplicably, there is no doubt that the affair between Madam Zuo and Ah Sheng must have been discovered!

Zuo Heying naturally did not have the ability to do things so beautifully, so the person who killed Ah Sheng... must be Duke Yan!

The Qiao family and the Duke of Yan's mansion are considered one and the same. I wonder if the Qiao family is also involved...

"Can we find out the news about the Chen family?" the second prince asked coldly.

Zhufeng shook his head with a look of shame on his face, "Your Highness, my subordinates have carefully inquired about Chen Qi's resignation from the official position the day before yesterday."

"The people of the Chen family were divided into three groups. Their family disguised themselves and hid among them. They scattered as soon as they left the capital. It is almost impossible to find traces."

Hearing this, the second prince slowly clenched his hands, with murderous intent in his brows.

"Keep looking! The Duke of Yan's Palace will find a way to deal with it. Chen Qi and his wife once harmed Ah Sheng's family. Now that Ah Sheng is dead, we will make them pay with their blood!"

Zhufeng saw the second prince's anger and hurriedly responded respectfully.

He was about to exit when he heard the second prince's tone suddenly become much gentler.

"Just keep it a secret from Ah Sheng's mother. Zhufeng, please assign two people to take good care of her. If anything happens, report to her at any time."

Zhufeng was slightly startled, and now he was truly sure that His Highness indeed had a very high regard for Li Xusheng.

He responded softly, and at this time, Zhou Bo Feng Feng Huo Huo walked in from outside the hall, with a hint of joy in his voice.

"Your Highness, the eldest princess is here to see you!"

Chapter 143 The choice of the eldest princess's consort

When the second prince heard this, he was slightly startled at first, and the next moment his face showed genuine joy.

He stood up suddenly and asked quickly: "Where is the imperial sister now?"

As soon as he finished speaking, a lake-green figure walked in, with a pearl hairpin on his head, looking pretty and decent.

"Second brother!"

The visitor is none other than the eldest princess Shen Yuanxian!

"Sister Huang, why are you here!"

The second prince walked around the long desk and walked in front of the eldest princess. His slightly curved eyebrows made his already charming face look even brighter.

The eldest princess looked him up and down and couldn't help but her eyes were slightly red.

"Second brother, you have lost so much weight."

The second prince waved his hand nonchalantly, "Now that the weather is hot, people have become thinner. It doesn't matter."

"It's just Princess Huang. This is the clan's mansion after all. You shouldn't come. This is...not good for you."

The clan mansion is a place where clan members are punished and everyone avoids it. The second prince did not expect that the eldest princess would actually come to see him in person.

In his memory, this sister who was only three years older than him had always taken good care of him.

When he was a child, he often gave him delicious cakes. When the cakes got older, some powerful palace servants would secretly try to stumble him, and the imperial sister would not hesitate to help him seek justice.

Later, he slowly started to think about it and began to plan to bury the truth, so that no one could bully him anymore.

But the imperial sister's care and love for him remained undiminished, and she would occasionally visit Chonghua Palace to chat with him.

To be honest, in the huge palace, the imperial sister gave him the greatest kindness, and he has always kept it in his heart.

The eldest princess turned around and took the food box from the palace maid's hand, and said with a smile: "What's wrong? Second brother, you can stay with someone as beautiful as a jade, so what's wrong with me just sitting there for a while?"

"I brought you some pastries, which are not available in this family. I'm afraid you might be greedy!"

The eldest princess' eyebrows were curved, and she walked up to the case. When she saw the "Book of Filial Piety" on it, she paused slightly.

"Sister Huang, I'm coming."

The second prince followed up and helped take out all the pastries from the food box.

The eldest princess turned to the others and said, "Go down, I want to have a nice talk with my second brother."

When they were the only two people left in the palace, the eldest princess looked at the "Book of Filial Piety" with red eyes.

"How could your father be so cruel——"

"Sister Huang! Stop saying these words."

The second prince stopped the eldest princess in time.

Seeing this, the eldest princess said nothing and held the small plate containing the sweet-scented osmanthus cake in front of the second prince.

"Second brother, don't worry about your favorite sweet-scented osmanthus cake. I know you don't like it too sweet, so I've asked the chef to put less sugar in it."

The second prince felt warm in his heart, raised his hand, picked up a piece and put it into his mouth.

"Thank you, Sister Huang. I know it's definitely not easy for you to come here."

The eldest princess smiled and shook her head, "It's nothing, I'm just asking for a favor from my father."

Under the gaze of the eldest princess, the second prince couldn't bear to brush her off and ate a few more pieces.

When he raised his head, he saw the eldest princess looking at the sweet-scented osmanthus cake in front of her in a trance, looking at her with deep thoughts.

The second prince frowned and asked with concern: "Sister Huang, have you encountered any difficulties? But where did you get angry?"

The eldest princess was stunned for a moment when she heard this, and then laughed.

"Silly second brother, who can make this big princess like me feel angry? I just...well, there is nothing I can't tell you."

The eldest princess spoke casually: "Father is going to choose my consort."

The second prince suddenly relaxed his brows when he heard this, "Sister Huang, this is a good thing, why aren't you happy?"

The eldest princess sighed softly, "I have never met those people. I can't say whether they are happy or not. It's just up to my father to make the decision."

The second prince subconsciously knocked on the long case. He was now used to the rough touch.

"Sister Huang, do you have someone you like?"

The eldest princess blushed slightly when she heard this, and then shook her head.

"Second brother, to tell you the truth, I thought the Qiao family's eldest son was good at first. He was suitable in all aspects."

"My father actually had this intention at that time, but the eldest son of the Qiao family made it known at that time that he would not consider marriage in a short time."

"I'm also a proud person, so naturally I can't rush to find a consort, so I gave up."

When the second prince heard this, he was stunned.

It was his negligence that he didn't see the emperor's sister's intentions. Otherwise, if he had planned for the emperor early, there would be a way for the emperor to get what he wanted.

"My father mentioned a few people to my mother and concubine, and I watched..."

When the eldest princess said this, she shook her head sadly.

The next moment, she suddenly raised her head again and smiled.

"Don't talk about whether these are available or not. How is my second brother doing lately?"

When the second prince saw the eldest princess's smile, he felt a little uncomfortable in his heart.

Looking at the entire capital, among so many young talents, the Qiao family's son is indeed the best.

But now that the marriage has been decided and the wedding date is approaching, it's too late to say anything.

"Sister Huang, this is not a matter of having something or not, this is related to Sister Huang's life."

"If the imperial sister doesn't mind, could you tell your second brother some of the candidates proposed by your father?"

When the eldest princess saw that the second prince cared so much about her, her heart warmed, and she immediately told the names of those people.

The second prince knew the forces in the capital very well. Hearing the names of these people, he could always find faults, big and small, in his mind, so he shook his head.

"Sister Huang, none of these people can do it."

The eldest princess lowered her head in disappointment after hearing this, and then smiled in relief for a long time.

"Second brother, as the eldest princess, my father must have considered the choice of his consort. I cannot be picky and picky. I have long accepted my fate."

When the second prince heard this, his brows furrowed tightly, and he was sifting through suitable candidates in his heart.

After a while, his eyes suddenly brightened.

"Sister Huang, I do have an excellent candidate in mind!"

The eldest princess was suddenly startled, "Who?"

The second prince raised his lips slightly, "The new champion, Tan Hanchi!"

The eldest princess's heart skipped a beat when she heard this, and a glimmer of light flashed in her lowered eyes.

In fact, a few days ago, when she was delivering health soup to her father on behalf of her mother-in-law, she saw a young man coming out of the imperial study.

When he passed by her, he bowed and saluted, wearing his official robes meticulously, and his voice was warm and clear.

She glanced briefly and vaguely saw a very handsome face.

The maid next to her quickly reminded her in a low voice: "Princess, this is Tan Xiuzuan."

She suddenly realized that it was said that this year's new top scholar was awarded the post of editor in the Hanlin Academy, which was extremely useful in front of her father.

"Sister Huang, this Tan Hanchi is from Zhuozhou, with outstanding literary talent and excellent reputation."

"He has no foundation in the capital, but now he is highly valued by his father. If he is recruited as his consort, he will definitely rely on the emperor's sister."

"In this way, he is much better than the arrogant young masters of other aristocratic families."

"Sister Huang, what do you think?"

Chapter 144 Where are the fools in the royal family?

The eldest princess blushed when she heard this, and after a long while, Qiqi Aiai said: "Since the second brother says he is good, then he must be good indeed."

"only......"

The eldest princess suddenly looked hesitant.

Seeing this, the second prince tilted his head and asked, "Sister Huang, what worries do you have?"

The eldest princess nodded slightly, "Since ancient times, if someone is recruited as a consort, he can only take a casual position in the court. If Tan Xiuzhan has ambitions in his heart, he may not agree."

"Furthermore, my father relies heavily on Tan Xiuzhuan now, so he must not be able to let go of his capable minister."

"Look at this time, my father didn't mention Tan Xiuzan to my mother and concubine, which also shows my father's attitude."

"If I rashly mention that I want Tan Xiuzhuan to be my consort, I'm afraid my father will misunderstand my intentions."

The eldest princess thought carefully about every word, as if she had already gone through these things in her mind.

The second prince's eyes flashed slightly when he heard this, but he didn't show any signs of strangeness.

He looked calm and said in a gentle voice: "Sister Huang, we can't rush this matter. If you just leave this sect's house and you turn around and mention Tan Hanchi, I'm afraid my father will think that I am causing trouble."

"Wait a minute..."

The second prince gently knocked on the long table, his face full of thoughtfulness, and then his eyes lit up slightly.

"Sister Huang, I remember that the wedding of the eldest son of the Qiao family is in September, right?"

The eldest princess nodded, and then blurted out: "The tenth day of September."

After finishing speaking, the eldest princess lowered her head in embarrassment.

She was a little unwilling in her heart, so she paid more attention to the news about the eldest son of the Qiao family. When the wedding date first came out, she remembered it firmly.

The second prince didn't want to embarrass the eldest princess, so he directly talked about his plan as if he didn't realize it.

"The Qiao family is in a state of great favor now, so my father will definitely send his royal brother to congratulate him."

"As for Tan Hanchi, just look at it, sister. If the emperor really wants to train him to become a close minister of the emperor, he will definitely let him attend, and even let him accompany the eldest son of the Qiao family to the wedding."

"After all, if you want to be someone useful to your father, you must be well-rounded. Tan Hanchi is still young. If you can gather all the young talents in the court together, your father will definitely be happy to see it happen."

"When the time comes, Sister Huang, please find a reason to go with Brother Huang."

When the eldest princess heard this, her eyes suddenly brightened.

The second prince leaned slightly closer to the eldest princess and lowered his voice and said:

"Sister Huang will definitely be able to meet Tan Hanchi when she arrives. There are many people in the Qiao Mansion at that time. Sister Huang, please bring more people there. It would be best if you can meet Tan Hanchi..."

When the second prince finished speaking, a look of deep thought flashed across the face of the eldest princess.

The second prince saw this and sat up straight, with a faint smile on his face.

"Sister, even if my father is reluctant to let go of Tan Hanchi, you are my most beloved daughter after all. Whether it is for my sister's happiness or the reputation of the royal family, my father will compromise."

"As for Tan Hanchi, even if he was unwilling at first, when he realizes that he can only rely on Sister Huang for his future, he will definitely be obedient to you, Sister Huang."

When the eldest princess heard this, a blush appeared on her face, and she finally showed sincere joy.

"Second brother, thank you for planning this for the emperor. The emperor will listen to you."

The second prince's eyes were deep. He always took one step at a time and looked at ten steps, so there was naturally a deeper consideration in his eyes.

The emperor's sister had always been on good terms with him. If Tan Hanchi could become the emperor's sister's husband, and his wife would follow her husband, even if Tan Hanchi could not be used by him, he would not be on his enemy's side.

As long as a smart person like Tan Hanchi does not surrender to the prince, it is excellent news for him.

Moreover, Tan Hanchi made a mistake in the Qiao Mansion, which caused his father to lose a capable minister. If the father angered the Qiao Mansion because of this, it would be a real surprise...

The eldest princess only sat there for half an hour, then she picked up her food box and left.

After all, she couldn't stay in this house for too long.

The second prince got up and walked to the entrance of the palace. The eldest princess earnestly asked him:

"Second brother, the emperor knows that you are not used to living here, but you still have to take good care of yourself. Look at how much weight you have lost in the past two months. My mother and concubine will feel distressed if she sees it."

The second prince smiled and nodded, "Sister, don't worry, I will take good care of myself."

He stood at the entrance of the palace and watched the eldest princess drift away surrounded by four maids.

The shadow of the eaves of the palace just fell on him. His eyes were deep and the expression on his face was somewhat intriguing...

————

It wasn't until she left the sect's mansion and got on the carriage that the maid next to the eldest princess asked cautiously: "Princess, how are you?"

The eldest princess slowly raised her head, with a shrewd smile on her lips.

"Cai Lan, my second brother is very smart, so he can naturally give excellent advice."

Cailan immediately beamed with joy when he heard this, "Great, congratulations to the princess! I was worried that the princess's trip would be too risky."

A few days ago, she accompanied the princess to deliver health soup to the emperor, and happened to meet Tan Xiuzhuan at the door of the imperial study.

The princess was feeling depressed at that time. It turned out that the prince of the Qiao family that she liked was engaged to be engaged, but the emperor's favorite prince-in-law was not satisfied with the choice of the princess.

But this Tan Xiuzan was tall and handsome, and the princess was delighted when she saw it, and she immediately became interested.

It's just that he is now a popular person in front of the Holy Emperor. If he is recruited as his consort, it will be equivalent to ending his official career. Not only will the Holy Emperor be reluctant to part with him, but Tan Xiuzhan himself may not agree.

After being troubled like this for a few days, the princess suddenly remembered the second prince who was far away in the clan mansion.

As the princess's personal maid, she naturally thinks of the princess wholeheartedly. She is really worried that the second prince has been abandoned by the Holy Emperor, and the princess's trip will not be worth the gain.

Unexpectedly, the princess was particularly persistent.

"Cai Lan, never be fooled by appearances. You don't know how obsessed my father is with that woman. Although my second brother went to the clan mansion, he will come back one day."

"And this is the time when my second brother is in despair. If I go to see him, he will not know how to be happy and grateful in his heart."

"I have cared for him for so many years since I was a child. Are you still afraid of the past two years?"

So the princess went to the Holy Spirit to ask for grace.

She originally thought that the Holy Emperor would reject the princess, but the princess had a meaningful look on her face.

"Cailan, just watch, my father will definitely allow me to go. As long as my father doesn't dislike that woman, he will always have a place for his second brother in his heart!"

Obviously, the princess was right again.

Now that she knew that the princess had indeed obtained a proper plan from the second prince, she was also happy for the princess in her heart.

As soon as the princess gets married, they can leave the palace and live in the princess' mansion. That will be the real good days!

Cailan was happy in her heart. Seeing the eldest princess's confident look, she couldn't help but ask:

"Princess, you said that His Highness is extremely intelligent, so will he be aware of your intentions?"

The eldest princess smiled lightly when she heard this, "I think my performance just now is acceptable. Of course, if the second brother really notices something, it won't matter."

"After all, this is a win-win plan. My second brother must be hoping that Tan Hanchi can become my consort..."

Cailan changed his mind slightly and flattered her gently, "The princess is wise."

The eldest princess raised her lips slightly.

Where are the fools in this palace?

The second brother's scheming is really the best, but these brothers and sisters are not bad either.

As the carriage moved forward, the eldest princess stared at the food box in the corner and thought to herself:

Second brother, second brother, you have to strive for your best. I and my concubine have bet their chips on you from the beginning.

If I can get what I want this time, I will naturally bring Tan Hanchi under your command for your use...

Chapter 145 Sister Qiao, Xiaosi misses you so much!

Zuo Anning continued to live in Qiao Mansion for a while.

Qiao Jiaojiao knew that Zuo Anning was not feeling well, so she often stayed with her, which caused the fourth prince's mentality to collapse.

"Master, why doesn't Sister Qiao come to see Xiaosi recently?"

He held in his hand the wooden spear that Qiao Zhongguo had specially cut for him, and looked at the tall Qiao Zhongguo with wet eyes.

Qiao Zhongguo raised his eyebrows. He had nothing polite to say to the fourth prince now.

"What's the matter? I've worked so hard to teach you martial arts, but you still miss my Jiaojiao?"

The fourth prince nodded honestly, "Master, I like your Jiaojiao family the most!"

Qiao Zhongguo: "..."

Are there such honest children? How should he handle this?

It shouldn't matter if you just tell the Fourth Prince to go fuck yourself, right?

The fourth prince was always very observant of words and expressions. When he saw Qiao Zhongguo's eyes widening, he knew that he was about to curse, so he quickly added:

"Master, Xiaosi just feels that when Sister Qiao is here, Xiaosi seems to have endless energy and is full of energy all the time, so I hope Sister Qiao can continue to supervise Xiaosi!"

Qiao Zhongguo snorted softly when he heard this, "You are so slippery, you already know what to say to me!"

"Don't worry, Jiaojiao will probably come to see me this afternoon!"

Early this morning, An Ning was picked up by someone sent by her father-in-law.

Half a month has passed, and the rumors in Beijing have almost disappeared, and An Ning, the kid, also wants to go back to accompany his father-in-law as soon as possible.

When the fourth prince heard this, his big eyes suddenly lit up!

"Are you serious? That's great! Master, please teach Xiaosi a new shooting technique. Xiaosi will dance for Sister Qiao this afternoon!"

Qiao Zhongguo: "..."

You kid suddenly got a lot of blood...

Okay, looking for abuse, right?

If you miss Jiaojiao at such a young age, I will scare you to death!

"Stand up straight! Arms up!"

"Don't stick your butt up!"

"Yes! Keep it tight for me!"

.......

Qiao Jiaojiao took a good nap at noon, and in the afternoon, accompanied by Grandma Liu, she stumbled to the back garden step by step, resting several times because of lack of physical strength.

When she finally reached the corridor, she suddenly heard a shout: "Sister Qiao!"

Qiao Jiaojiao raised her eyes and saw the fourth prince flying down from the wooden pile, running around the corridor and running straight towards her.

"Sister Qiao! Xiaosi misses you so much!"

The fourth prince rushed up to Qiao Jiaojiao, suddenly squatted down and hugged Qiao Jiaojiao's legs, and then picked her up!

"ah!"

Qiao Jiaojiao was so frightened that she screamed.

Afraid that the fourth prince would fall to Jiaojiao, Aunt Liu hurriedly bent down and stretched out her arms to protect her carefully, and said urgently:

"Your Highness, please be careful! Be careful!"

The fourth prince grinned happily, "Mommy, it's okay! I'm much stronger now, and I can even lift two sisters Qiao! Look!"

As he spoke, he hugged Qiao Jiaojiao and spun him around.

【Hey Hey hey! Slow down! 】

Qiao Jiaojiao was so frightened that she hugged the fourth prince's neck tightly, her eyes widening.

After the fourth prince stood firmly, he gave Qiao Jiaojiao a shake and used the opportunity to adjust the posture of his hands.

"Sister Qiao, does this make you feel better? The mistress didn't strangle you, right?"

The fourth prince looked at Qiao Jiaojiao eagerly, his face full of joy and a little proud!

During the Dragon Boat Festival Palace Banquet, Mrs. Qiao said that he could not hold Sister Qiao until he was seven years old. Now that he has been practicing with Mr. Qiao for nearly two months, he is already very strong!

Look, he is holding Sister Qiao very firmly!

Qiao Jiaojiao twisted tentatively, and seeing that the Fourth Prince's arms were indeed strong, her tense body gradually softened.

"Xiao Si!"

Qiao Jiaojiao glared at him angrily.

【You just scared me to death! I really thought I was going to be knocked down by you! 】

The fourth prince smiled innocently at first, and then looked aggrieved.

"Who told you, Sister Qiao, not to come see me for half a month? I miss Sister Qiao very much. Don't you miss me at all, Sister Qiao?"

Qiao Jiaojiao: "..."

[Think about it, will it work? Why don't you put me down first? I still think you can't bear my weight! 】

It's a pity that she couldn't speak at all and could only mutter a few words casually: "Little four, little four, little four!"

"Hey!"

The fourth prince responded happily, carried Qiao Jiaojiao forward, walked around the corridor, and firmly placed Qiao Jiaojiao on the small stool where she usually sat.

"Sister Qiao, just sit here. I have recently started learning the gun dance. I will dance for you!"

The fourth prince said as he picked up the wooden gun leaning on the side and made a gesture with his hands, his expression became serious.

Qiao Jiaojiao originally wanted to laugh at him, but when she saw his eyes were firm and focused, she immediately straightened her expression.

Everyone who works hard deserves to be respected, especially when they show results!

The fourth prince looked solemn as he raised the tip of the gun, then drew out the gun, turned around, and pressed the gun down, all in one go.

Qiao Jiaojiao was dazzled by what she saw. She didn't expect that the fourth prince had made such rapid progress and could even dance with a spear!

The fourth prince caught a glimpse of Qiao Jiaojiao's serious expression from the corner of his eye, and felt that he had endless strength again. He gritted his teeth and decided to try the moves he had just learned this morning.

I saw him step forward, turn around, and suddenly pull out the gun backwards, and then with a pop, he fell on his butt...

Qiao Jiaojiao was so engrossed in watching it that she couldn't help shouting "ouch", which made the fourth prince on the ground turn red with shame.

This time the carbine is too difficult. I would have been dissatisfied if I had known it. I will show it to Sister Qiao after I have mastered it!

Qiao Jiaojiao stood up unsteadily, walked up to the fourth prince, and when she looked at him, her face was filled with a teasing smile.

[Hey, look at your little red face, are you embarrassed? 】

Although the fourth prince couldn't hear Qiao Jiaojiao's thoughts, when he saw her smile, his face suddenly felt hot and he sat up immediately.

He hesitated for a moment, then raised his head and vowed: "Sister Qiao, if you watch next time, I will definitely practice it!"

"You... forget about today! Forget everything!"

Qiao Jiaojiao couldn't help but giggle when she heard this.

[I must remember it and laugh at you when I grow up! 】

The fourth prince listened to Qiao Jiaojiao's innocent laughter and looked at her cute little face, and the shyness in his heart gradually disappeared.

He couldn't help but think that it was great to have Sister Qiao here.

With Sister Qiao here, the July afternoon doesn't seem so hot anymore.

He felt sweet in his heart, wishing that time would pass slower, allowing him to stay in Qiao Mansion for a while longer, and allowing him to stay with Sister Qiao for a while longer...

"Ahem!"

Qiao Zhongguo coughed twice, which frightened the fourth prince so much that he stood up with his gun in hand.

"Daddy!"

Qiao Jiaojiao greeted him with joy on her face.

Qiao Zhongguo picked up Qiao Jiaojiao with a doting look on his face and thought to himself:

"I just went to drink a bowl of water and see my wife's skills, but this brat actually started to be courteous in front of Jiaojiao! Practice! Let him practice to death!"

Thinking of this, Qiao Zhongguo carried Qiao Jiaojiao to the shade of the tree and gave the fourth prince a stern look.

"Xiao Si, haven't you started practicing yet? Have you learned how to turn around?"

The fourth prince remembered his embarrassing appearance just now, his face turned slightly red, and he raised his voice and responded: "Disciple, let's practice now!"

Chapter 146 A room full of human kindness

The hot July ended with the fourth prince falling and getting up again and again.

Time soon came to the tenth day of August, which was the day when Qiao Mansion hired Han Mansion.

Mrs. Qiao got up early. Although she had checked the betrothal gifts according to the gift list many times, before going out, she still checked it again uneasily.

Qiao Zhongguo specifically took leave today and stood aside obediently to strike at any time.

But Mrs. Qiao thought he was rough, so she didn't let him interfere even once.

According to custom, the man will invite two to four female relatives to meet with a matchmaker to deliver the bride price and betrothal gifts to the woman's home.

Mrs. Qiao is very happy to have Miss Han as her daughter-in-law, but there are not many high-status female relatives in the Qiao family and the Duke of Yan.

In order to prevent Miss Han from being wronged, Mrs. Qiao directly called the sisters in the Beijing circle who played well with her.

In addition to the matchmaker Mrs. Yang, there are also Mrs. Xiao of Dingguo Gong family, Mrs. Wang of the Ministry of War Shangshu, and Qiao Tianjing's immediate boss Mrs. Dou of the Hubu Shangshu family, etc.

Such a strong recruitment lineup really gave the Han family plenty of opportunities.

As Qiao Tianjing is the groom-to-be, he does not need to participate in the appointment.

So he held Qiao Jiaojiao and stood at the door of Qiao's residence, watching everyone beat gongs and drums as they carried Yishui's betrothal gift over.

Qiao Jiaojiao smiled broadly, her heart full of joy.

"Yeah yeah!"

She was screaming, and her inner voice didn't stop for a moment.

【It's so lively! Sister-in-law, come over quickly! 】

[Look at my brother, he's still holding it in! You might say he's reserved, but actually he's more like a coquettish person, haha! 】

[Maybe the eldest brother was so happy that he rolled around on the bed in the middle of the night and couldn't sleep! 】

Qiao Tianjing: "..."

He didn't!

He was just secretly happy in his heart!

Miss Han...is about to become his wife.

Thinking of this, the corners of Qiao Tianjing's mouth raised unconsciously. He pressed it again and again, but failed to suppress it.

Seeing this, Qiao Jiaojiao couldn't help covering her mouth and snickering.

[Hehe, there is no shame in being happy. In the future, eldest brother can also be like his father and build up his reputation as a doting wife! 】

[A shameless person is invincible. You can tell just by looking at his father. When people laugh at him for being henpecked, how many times can he still laugh along with him! 】

Qiao Zhongguo, who had just followed the betrothal procession out of the door, happened to hear these words, and he immediately nodded with deep understanding.

He, Lao Qiao, is famous for doting on his wife!

This should become the family motto of their Qiao family, so that both the great man and the young man can carry it forward!

It took more than an hour to carry all the betrothal gifts from the Qiao family to the Han family.

The onlookers on the road couldn't help but secretly gasped when they saw this scene.

I originally thought that the lintel of the Han family was too different from that of the Qiao family, so the girl from the Han family would not be taken seriously. Unexpectedly, the Qiao family had prepared such a generous betrothal gift, which was enough to give the girl from the Han family face.

At this time, people had already gathered in circles outside the Han Mansion, and the Qiao family's housekeeper was standing in the hall reading out the gift list. This was a rule and a sign of respect for the woman's family.

Mrs. Yang and Mrs. Xiao stood together. Seeing this joyful scene, they couldn't help but feel happy for Mrs. Qiao who couldn't come.

After the ceremony is completed, the woman returns the gift, which is still brought back by the man, indicating that the woman is very satisfied with the marriage.

Hanya Xian stood in the back hall, listening to the sound of gongs and drums in the front yard, and her heart was beating fast.

These days, she has been waiting at home to get married. Her father knows that the Qiao family is special, and he has also begun to talk to her about the things in the court during this time.

"Xian'er, the eldest son of the Qiao family has a gap in his chest, so he will definitely not be able to live under others for a long time. Daddy said this not to ask you to fight for anything, but I just hope that you can keep up with the footsteps of the eldest son of the Qiao family."

"Women can speak less and be careful in their words and deeds, but they cannot be empty-headed and empty-minded."

"Of course, dad also knows Xian'er's abilities. When you get to Qiao's house, Xian'er, you don't have to belittle yourself."

"You are a good daughter that my father has worked so hard to raise. Even if you are allowed to compete with the men in Beijing, my father can confidently say that you may not lose!"

When Hanya Xian heard this, her nose suddenly became sore.

She naturally knew how much her father loved her. Her mother was in poor health and would not be able to have children after giving birth to her.

Because of this, my father never said anything coldly to my mother, nor did he ever take a concubine to support my concubine. He just devoted himself to cultivating her.

Although her father was ostracized by the courtiers for being too upright, she always understood that her father had loyalty in his heart. He was devoted to the people and had already put his personal life and death aside.

Daddy is the person she respects and admires the most!

"Dad, don't worry, even if Xian'er arrives at Qiao's house, she will never forget the character of our Han family!"

"Xian'er is my father's only daughter. How can I disgrace my father's reputation?"

When Han Mingzhe heard this, he felt ashamed first.

His reputation was so bad that there were very few boudoir girls who were willing to make friends with Xian'er. He was worried that there wouldn't be enough manpower on the day of the wedding...

The day that everyone had been looking forward to finally arrived on the ninth day of September. This was the day when the Han family sent the dowry.

Qiao's mansion opened the door early in the morning. Qiao Tianjing happened to have a rest today, so he waited at home.

The inside and outside of the Green Bamboo Courtyard have been cleaned several times. Red silks and satins are hung everywhere, and lights and colors are decorated, making it extremely festive.

At around noon, Miss Han's dowry was brought in, filling the Qingzhu Courtyard to the brim.

Big red silk flowers were hung on each of the camphor wood boxes. There was a large dressing table that Han Mingzhe spent a lot of money on having the craftsmen make it several months ago, and it was now placed in the main room.

After all the servants left, Qiao Tianjing stared at the main room in confusion.

He has always liked elegance and does not like those complicated and luxurious things, so the main house has always been simple and the colors are very plain.

Now that he saw the exquisite dressing table and the red color, he felt for the first time that such a lively and lively place was good and full of human touch.

Especially when he thought that Miss Han would live with him here in the future, and this place would be filled with her breath, Qiao Tianjing felt a sense of urgency and expectation in his heart.

Just as he was blushing and heartbeating, Qiao Zhongguo suddenly walked in from outside the hospital.

He did not enter the house, but shouted outside the door: "Boss, get out!"

Qiao Tianjing quickly calmed down and walked to the door. Several books were thrown at him.

After all, he was skillful and caught it calmly, looking at his father with a puzzled look on his face.

"Dad, what is this?"

As he spoke, he lowered his head. When he saw the big words "Secret Techniques in the House" written on the cover of the book, his hands shook in fright and his face turned red.

Qiao Zhongguo touched his nose in embarrassment and said in a low voice: "We in the Qiao Mansion don't have any rules about intercourse with maids. I guess you, a young boy, are still confused."

"Study carefully, don't-"

After all, Qiao Zhongguo couldn't say any more. He gave Qiao Tianjing a meaningful look and ran away!

Qiao Tianjing felt his blood rushing all over his body and his whole body was warm. Seeing no one around, he walked into the main room holding the book.

He...should study hard...

Chapter 147 Welcoming the bride!

Before dawn the next day, Qiao's house was already decorated with lanterns and colorful and full of people.

Qiao Jiaojiao woke up early and put on a festive little red dress. Her hair was now thick enough to be combed four times!

Qiao Zhongguo and Mrs. Qiao were busy early in the morning. Qiao Tianjing was the groom's official and was wearing a wedding robe. Qiao Jiaojiao quickly took care of her second brother who had nothing to do.

"Brother! Brother!"

[Second brother, second brother, I will go to the Han Mansion soon to welcome the bride. You must carry me with you no matter what! 】

【I want to join in the fun too! I want to see the bride too! 】

"Hey, little sister, you're so good! Just stick to my second brother today. My second brother promises to take you with him wherever he goes!"

Qiao Di smiled broadly and rubbed Qiao Jiaojiao's little face.

Qiao Jiaojiao was so happy that she screamed.

Qiao Diyi bumped her head and said with a smile: "Let's go! Let's go see the bridegroom with my second brother!"

After entering the Qingzhu Courtyard, Qiao Tianjing stood in the hall, fully dressed.

He is dressed in a red brocade robe, embroidered with gold silk cloud patterns, and has a jade belt around his waist. His shoulders are wide and his waist is narrow, and his back is as straight as a pine tree.

Qiao Jiaojiao only took one look, her eyes were full of amazement, and she screamed.

"elder brother!"

Qiao Tianjing heard the sound and turned around to look over, with a smile on his lips. He was as handsome as a piece of warm jade under his attire.

Qiao Diyi hurriedly greeted him, walked around Qiao Tianjing twice, and praised him:

"Brother, there's something different about you looking like my mother! As the saying goes, the first time I saw my eldest brother, I thought you were like the moon!"

Qiao Jiaojiao couldn't help laughing.

[Second brother is always good at praising others. Look how sincere and simple the words he uses! 】

Qiao Tianjing patted Qiao Diyi on the shoulder and said with a smile: "When the second brother becomes the groom's official, he will definitely compare with the eldest brother."

Qiao Jiaojiao touched her chin.

[The eldest brother is a gentleman and the second brother is a high-spirited young man. They are both handsome in different ways! But the second brother still has time to wait. I remember that the second brother was already eighteen years old when he got married! 】

When Qiao Diyi heard this, he immediately clenched his fingers in his heart.

He is only fifteen now. He cannot marry the second young lady of the Xiao family until he is eighteen. He has to wait another three years?

so long! ?

Thinking of the second young lady of the Xiao family, Qiao Diyi felt another kitten in his heart.

I finally managed to talk to Miss Xiao Er at the Dingguo Palace two days ago. She said that she would participate in the wedding ceremony at the Han Palace today!

Thinking of this, Qiao Diyi was even more impatient than Qiao Tianjing.

Due to nature, Qiao Diyi's heart was still full of youthful spirit.

He believes that if you really like someone, you should express your heart and soul, so he never hides his feelings, and he wishes he could see Miss Xiao Er all the time!

As soon as the Qiao Mansion was ready, the friends invited by Qiao Tianjing came to the door one after another.

In addition to the equally young colleagues in the DPRK and the Central Government, there are also old friends who were in the same department.

Tan Hanchi also came.

This was a favor given by Emperor Yong. He said that Tan Hanchi was young and asked him to join in the fun.

Qiao Jiaojiao could probably guess a little bit of Emperor Yong's thoughts.

There is no absolute solitary minister in the court. Since Tan Hanchi wants to become a close minister of the emperor, he should have eyes and ears in all directions, and be able to welcome and send off in the capital with ease.

Moreover, with Emperor Yong's suspicious temperament, if he wanted to truly reuse Tan Hanchi, he would definitely test him in every possible way until he completely grasped all of Tan Hanchi's flaws and preferences.

Maybe Emperor Yong had a lot of spies on his eldest brother's wedding today, waiting to see the whole situation!

Qiao Jiaojiao secretly cursed in her heart, but Tan Hanchi's appearance still shocked her!

Because Miss Han has few close friends, cousin An Ning went to the girl's side to help her early.

Tan Hanchi might be able to meet cousin An Ning face to face during the wedding reception today!

The auspicious time to welcome the bride came soon. The gongs and drums were played in the Qiao Mansion. Qiao Tianjing tied a lotus and red flowers on his chest, mounted a tall horse, followed by a group of wedding brothers, and led a large procession to the Han Mansion. OK.

Qiao Jiaojiao was sitting in Qiao Diyi's arms, with a small red flower on her head, following the wedding procession, smiling so hard that her teeth could not be seen.

Many children were running and jumping along the road. People from the Qiao family immediately gave them wedding candies and carefully warned them not to be trampled.

Finally, we arrived at the entrance of the Han Mansion. The place was already crowded with people. Those blocking the door were all the relatives of the Han family. They were all smiling, waiting to "embarrass" the groom!

Qiao Tianjing got off his horse. Before he could enter the door, relatives of the Han family had already started to stop him.

"Etc., etc!"

"It is said that Qiao Dalang is a famous prostitute in the capital. Are we not allowed to see him today?"

"Haha! Hurry, you have to write ten makeup-inducing poems before you can get in!"

As soon as this statement came out, everyone started booing and their emotions were high.

Qiao Jiaojiao sat on Qiao Diyi's shoulder, her face full of surprise when she saw this place.

[Isn't this just blocking the door when welcoming a bride? Haha, interesting! 】

With a smile on his face, Qiao Tianjing stretched out his hand and said to the young man blocking the door:

"It's a bit awkward for one person to sing ten songs. There are so many good brothers here to help. I'll sing one song first, and the brothers will share the rest with me. How about that?"

Upon hearing this, Qiao Tianjing's brothers immediately shouted: "It is necessary! Today, I, Brother Qiao, must let me hold this beauty home!"

"Haha! Da Lang, you come first, hurry up, we are waiting to welcome the sister-in-law!"

After all, Qiao Tianjing is a real flower hunter, and he can't even write poems about makeup.

The rest of them all had poems and books, and Tan Hanchi finished the last one.

The relatives of the Han family did not expect that these ten makeup-inducing poems would not be a problem for the man at all. Just as they were about to change their approach, Qiao Tianjing winked at the brothers, and the next moment everyone swarmed in!

"Welcoming the bride!"

"Red seal! There is a red seal here!"

Under the commotion, Qiao Tianjing and others broke in, and everyone walked quickly inside.

There was someone waiting in Han Mansion to lead the uncle-to-be to the yard where the young lady was to be married.

At this time, the courtyard door was closed tightly, and the word "Double Happiness" was posted on the door.

Qiao Tianjing took a deep breath, raised his hand and knocked on the courtyard door.

Tuk-tuk-tuk——

A silver bell-like laughter immediately came from the courtyard.

Then a woman raised her voice and asked, "Who is your master? Why are you here?"

Qiao Jiaojiao's eyes lit up when she heard this familiar voice.

Isn't this cousin An Ning?

A few days ago, cousin An Ning sent a message saying that because Miss Han had too few friends, she was introduced by Mrs. Yang and went over to help Miss Han support the scene.

She was a little embarrassed at first, but when she met Miss Han, she was overjoyed.

Cousin An Ning said in the letter that she had never seen such a transparent girl, and she admired her so much that she and Miss Han soon became close friends who talked about everything!

Qiao Jiaojiao also didn't expect that the relationship between the two would heat up so quickly, and cousin An Ning would even take the initiative to get married!

Qiao Tianjing naturally recognized Zuo Anning's voice. He had a smile on his face, but before he spoke, a good brother beside him answered for him:

"A distinguished family in the capital, a gentleman from the Qiao family!"

Chapter 148 A qualified CP player

As soon as these words came out, there was laughter again in the yard.

Standing next to Zuo Anning were two young ladies from the Xiao family. She looked at each other and smiled with the two sisters, and spoke again:

"If you don't check your intentions, what do you want?"

This time, Qiao Tianjing said loudly without waiting for his brothers to speak:

"My fair lady, a gentleman is so brave!"

There were soft calls from the yard, followed by teasing laughter.

Qiao Tianjing's face was slightly red, but his eyes were extremely bright.

Xiao Qianyue was participating in a wedding ceremony for the first time, and her face was full of surprise. Seeing Qiao Tianjing being so candid, she immediately asked:

"If you get a lady, how should you treat her?"

When Qiao Diyi heard this, he stood up straight immediately with a look of joy on his face.

It's the voice of the second young lady of the Xiao family!

Qiao Tianjing looked serious and said in front of everyone:

"This one person will last forever!"

"good!"

Xiao Qianyue gave a soft drink and approved Qiao Tianjing's answer.

Zuo Anning knows the rules of the Qiao family. Men do not marry or take concubines. Cousin Qiao will definitely cherish Yaxian!

Thinking of this, she smiled and shouted into the room: "I have passed the test and I am sincere!"

Han Yaxian was sitting there in a full dress. She had just heard Qiao Tianjing's shouting, but now she was teased by Zuo Anning, and her face turned red and she felt shy.

Zuo Anning smiled brightly, leaving Xiao Qianlan to accompany Hanya Xian while she and Xiao Qianyue went to open the courtyard door.

"Cousin, are you ready for the red seal?"

The maids and maids who were standing beside me all smiled brightly upon hearing this, waiting for rewards.

Tan Hanchi was standing next to Qiao Tianjing. Hearing this address, he suddenly realized that the person who had just called was Miss Zuo from Duke Yan's mansion.

The last time he saw her in Qiao Mansion, she was very shy and her voice sounded like a mosquito. He didn't recognize her at all.

At this moment, Zuo Anning's beautiful face suddenly flashed through his mind, but he quickly concentrated his thoughts.

"Get ready, cousin, just come and get it!" Qiao Tianjing's voice sounded with a smile.

"Put it through the crack in the door! I am Miss Han's side today. I want to see if my cousin is sincere enough!"

As soon as Zuo Anning finished speaking, several red envelopes were stuffed in. Xiao Qianyue took them, weighed them, and nodded with a smile.

"It's done! Everyone has a share!"

When the people outside the door heard this, they knew that the wedding ceremony had passed, and they all geared up to help Qiao Tianjing win the beauty back.

Tan Hanchi thought that Zuo Anning was behind the door, and was about to remind everyone to be careful not to hit the girl, when the door creaked open.

"It's open, it's open!"

"I'm picking up my sister-in-law!"

Everyone crowded in.

Qiao Tianjing was about to tell everyone to slow down when he was pushed directly in by the brothers behind him.

Miss Xiao Er is a skilled person and quickly retreated when she saw this.

Zuo Anning was also preparing, but she thought that her cousin's friends were all modest gentlemen, so they would not get in the way.

She didn't expect these people to be so reckless and impatient that they almost hit her!

"Miss Zuo, be careful!"

Tan Hanchi and Qiao Tianjing were pushed in together.

Seeing that someone else was about to bump into Zuo Anning, he pulled Zuo Anning out of desperation and took her aside with big strides.

Everyone's attention was focused on the newlyweds and they did not notice this scene.

Tan Hanchi was a man of etiquette. Seeing that Zuo Anning was safe, he immediately let go of his hand.

Zuo Anning was a little shocked. She thought it was Qiao Tianjing who saved her, so she rubbed her chest and said gratefully: "Cousin Qiao, thank you!"

After she finished speaking, she suddenly noticed that the person in front of her was not wearing a wedding robe. She looked up suddenly and was stunned.

"Tan... Mr. Tan..."

Tan Hanchi turned slightly to the side and asked in a low voice: "Is Miss Zuo okay?"

Zuo Anning's face turned red suddenly, and she suddenly felt the place on her wrist where Tan Hanchi had pulled her get hot.

"I'm fine, thank you Mr. Tan."

Tan Hanchi nodded gently, "That's good. There are many people today, so Miss Zuo must be careful."

After he finished speaking, he bowed and chased Qiao Tianjing in front of him. When he walked past Zuo Aning, a faint scent of fragrance passed through his nose.

Tan Hanchi couldn't help but feel his heart move slightly. He slowly closed his palms and then slowly released them...

Qiao Jiaojiao sat on Qiao Diyi's shoulders, taking in everything just now, pink bubbles arose in her heart.

[The most basic quality of a qualified KCP person is to pick out candies and eat them yourself! Hey, I think the couple An Ning and Tan Hanchi are so sweet! 】

【Ah ah ah! Sister-in-law is out! The second brother and the second lady of the Xiao family also see eye to eye! Wow wow wow! There are too many CPs around me, I am so happy! 】

Qiao Jiaojiao was so excited that her face turned red.

What's the point of wearing a book?

Just want to see a pair of Cp cultivation achieve positive results, how sweet it is!

Miss Han was covered with a hikerchief and was led by her nanny beside Qiao Tianjing. She walked toward the main hall surrounded by everyone.

Sitting here are Miss Han's parents, Mr. Han and Mrs. Han.

Before a daughter gets married, she must say goodbye to her parents.

Seeing Qiao Tianjing and Hanya Xian bowing and saluting them, Mr. Han and Mrs. Han's eyes turned red.

All the instructions that should be given before were carefully explained to Hanya Xian, but now they are just talking for the occasion.

Hanya Xian's nose suddenly sore when she heard her mother's trembling instructions.

Raising a daughter to adulthood and sending her off to get married are probably the happiest and most reluctant moments for parents in the world.

"Daughters should remember their parents' teachings."

Qiao Tianjing heard the tears in Hanyaxian's voice, and his heart twitched slightly.

"With my father-in-law and mother-in-law, my son-in-law will definitely cherish Xian'er and treat her well, and will often bring her back to see her."

Master Han was still very relieved about Qiao Tianjing, and gently waved his hand, indicating that they could go out.

The next step is to get on the sedan chair and enter Qiao's house, everything is done according to customs.

After a busy day, it was already dusk when it was time to worship.

At this time, Qiao's residence was full of guests and extremely lively.

The auspicious time was approaching, Qiao Tianjing and Han Yaxian were walking out holding red silk knots, when suddenly a shout came from outside the house:

"His Royal Highness the Crown Prince has arrived! The Fourth Prince has arrived! The Eldest Princess has arrived!"

Everyone had long expected that with the current status of the Qiao family, someone from the palace would definitely come, so they all knelt down to greet them without any hesitation.

The prince hadn't been to Qiao Mansion for a long time. Seeing the joyful atmosphere, he couldn't help but feel very good.

The fourth prince felt much more at ease, after all, Qiao Mansion was now like his second home.

The eldest princess had a dignified manner, and her eyes swept across the audience, secretly looking for a certain figure.

"I am here today to attend the wedding of Mr. Qiao and Miss Han. You don't need to be polite."

The prince gave a weak hand in front of him, and everyone stood up respectfully.

Qiao Zhongguo came forward and was about to usher the prince into the throne, but the prince was already waving his hands.

"Master Qiao, there is no need to be formal. Everything will remain as usual. I, the imperial sister, and my mistress will all be watching the ceremony."

The fourth prince was a little frightened when he saw Qiao Zhongguo now, and just smiled.

The eldest princess nodded in agreement, "Listen to your royal brother."

So Qiao Zhongguo and Mrs. Qiao were still sitting in the main seats in the hall, while the prince and others were sitting at the bottom, and everyone else was standing.

After the eldest princess sat down, she turned her eyes slightly and soon saw the handsome Tan Hanchi not far away.

But for some reason, Tan Hanchi was looking at his right hand with a thoughtful look on his face.

Chapter 149 It's time to have a wedding!

"The auspicious time has come!"

The shouts of praise drew everyone's attention.

Tan Hanchi also subconsciously raised his head.

His eyes glanced across the crowd opposite him casually, and he immediately caught sight of Zuo Aning, who was standing next to Duke Yan.

She changed into a festive silver-red dress, covered with a layer of white gauze. Her beautiful eyebrows were full of joy, and she was looking at the newlyweds in the hall with a smile.

Tan Hanchi suddenly remembered the rumors that were rampant in the capital these days. Some said that the prince of Yan Kingdom had misbehaved, and some said that the former prince's wife did not observe women's ethics.

Fortunately, she didn't seem to be greatly affected...

After meeting Miss Zuo in Qiao's house that day, Brother Qiao suddenly asked him about his marriage. At that time, he had not yet recovered.

Later, when he went back and thought about it carefully, he felt that Brother Qiao seemed to want to tell Miss Zuo to him.

Perhaps because he had such a thought buried in his heart, he couldn't help but pay more attention to Miss Zuo. When he saw her almost getting hit during the day, he went up regardless...

Thinking of this, Tan Hanchi looked at his right hand again.

At that time, in a hurry, he instinctively used great strength, and he didn't know whether he hurt her...

"Two surnames come together in marriage, make a contract together, and have a good relationship forever, and they have the same name!"

The voice of the praising person once again brought back Tan Hanchi's mind. His eyes quickly passed over the others and landed on Qiao Tianjing.

The eldest princess had always been paying attention to Tan Hanchi. When she saw that he was looking in a certain direction, her eyes moved slightly.

It's a pity that she is now in the wedding hall. In order to maintain dignity, she cannot look around.

Qiao Jiaojiao was held in Qiao Diyi's arms, and her heart was filled with joy and comfort as she watched her elder brother and sister-in-law begin to worship heaven and earth.

She didn't know what the eldest princess was thinking. After all, in the original book, Tan Hanchi was just a shady adviser around the second prince, and the eldest princess didn't look down on him at all.

The second prince did not reveal Tan Hanchi's existence to the public until he ascended the throne. By then, the eldest princess had already had a consort, and Feng Fengguang was named the eldest princess.

"We worship heaven and earth and make a happy marriage!"

"Second thanks to Gao Tangji for his kindness!"

"Husband and wife, let's get married!"

"The ceremony is completed——"

"Send it to the bridal chamber!"

As the shouts of praise fell, cheers erupted in the hall.

Qiao Jiaojiao hurriedly moved forward, shouting: "Brother! Brother!"

[Second brother, let's go to the wedding ceremony! 】

Soon a group of young people left with the newcomers. Zuo Anning said something to Duke Yan, then lifted up her skirt and chased after them.

Tan Hanchi followed without hesitation. After all, he went to welcome the bride together this morning.

When the fourth prince saw Qiao Jiaojiao leaving, he couldn't sit still and turned to look at the prince pitifully.

"Brother, I want to go too~"

The prince shook his head helplessly, "Go ahead, go ahead, follow people around you, don't run around."

The fourth prince nodded repeatedly, jumped off the stool and chased after him. Only when there were fewer people around did he dare to shout:

"Sister Qiao! Wait for me! I'm going too!"

Qiao Jiaojiao vaguely heard the fourth prince's voice, looked over Qiao Diyi's shoulder and saw a short-legged man rushing towards her.

She was in a very good mood today, so she grinned and waved to him.

"Xiao Si!"

The fourth prince's eyebrows arched and he quickened his pace.

Most of the young people in the wedding hall suddenly ran away. The older ones had to be dignified and solemn. They smiled and stepped forward to congratulate Qiao Zhongguo and Mrs. Qiao. They secretly looked at the prince and exchanged polite greetings with each other.

The eldest princess saw Tan Hanchi following him out, and immediately turned to look at the seat below.

She was a little curious as to who Tan Hanchi was looking at just now.

Wherever he could see, there were courtiers who could be named by their names. If he could focus on the area, the direction Tan Hanchi was looking at just now seemed to be... Duke Yan Guo standing there?

When mentioning Duke Yan, the eldest princess thought of the Heli incident that had been making a lot of noise in the past few days.

She checked Tan Hanchi and found that he was reserved and calm, so he probably wouldn't be interested in those baseless rumors.

If there is anything else in the Duke of Yan's Mansion, the first is the in-laws of the Qiao Mansion, and the second is...

Thinking of this, an idea flashed in the princess's mind!

She remembered that there was a Miss Zuo who was waiting to be married in the Yanguo Duke's mansion!

Perhaps because the eldest princess had her own thoughts on recruiting Tan Hanchi as her son-in-law, she became particularly keen and focused on it.

She suddenly raised her eyes and winked at the maid who had been waiting outside the door.

The maid did not wear palace clothes, but dressed like an ordinary official lady.

After looking at each other with the eldest princess, the maid nodded lightly and chased them in the direction of the bridal chamber.

The Qingzhu Courtyard was really lively at this time. The main room was full of people, and everyone was cheering and cheering.

The newlywed bride sat on a new bed sprinkled with red dates, peanuts, longan, and lotus seeds, and was also covered with a festive red hijab.

Mrs. Yang smiled brightly and handed Qiao Tianjing a scale beam wrapped with red silk, and said in a loud voice: "The bridegroom has lifted his hijab!"

Qiao Tianjing took the scale beam and walked up to Hanya Xian.

When everyone saw this, they stopped talking and prepared to take a look at the beauty of the bride.

Qiao Tianjing's heart was pounding, and heat was rising on his face. The scale in his hand was not much heavier than the pen, but he felt his hands were trembling.

He leaned forward slightly, lowered his voice and said, "I...I'm going to lift my hijab."

Hanya Xian's hands were already clenched tightly under the large wedding robe. When she heard Qiao Tianjing's voice, her face turned red with embarrassment.

This idiot, doesn't he know that she can't speak until the hijab is lifted?

Seeing that Qiao Tianjing remained motionless without receiving a reply, her long eyelashes trembled slightly and she nodded slightly.

Almost the next moment, a scale reached in front of her eyes and she slowly lifted the hijab.

The sudden light made Hanya blink in discomfort, but soon, a black shadow thoughtfully blocked the light source for her.

Hanya Xian instinctively raised her head and looked into a pair of gentle, watery eyes.

The young man has handsome features, a smile on his lips, and a picturesque face tinged with genuine joy, which completely overlaps with the startling glimpse he had during the Lantern Festival.

Dense joy suddenly surged up, and Hanya Xian felt the soreness on the tip of her nose and quickly lowered her head.

At this time, the sound of breathing could be heard in the new house.

Just because this newlywed's eyebrows are like a crescent moon, her eyes are full of autumn water, her cheeks are full of spring, and her lips are dotted with vermilion. She is really gentle and beautiful, and her face is radiant.

Qiao Diyi held Qiao Jiaojiao in his left hand and the fourth prince in his right hand, looking at them with a beaming smile.

Qiao Jiaojiao shouted happily: "Brother! Brother!"

[Brother and sister-in-law are a perfect match! ! ! Come on, I want to watch the talented man and the beautiful woman drink together! 】

At this time, two people walked out of the crowd. They were Tan Hanchi, who represented the man's relatives and friends, and Zuo Anning, who represented the woman's relatives and friends.

Each of them held a wine glass in their hands, and both walked towards the newlyweds.

Tan Hanchi didn't look sideways, smiled and put the wine glass into Qiao Tianjing's hands, and said auspicious words:

"Locked together, we will always be united."

Qiao Tianjing took it with a smile.

Zuo Anning stood next to Hanya Xian and happily handed over the wine glass.

"As long as eternity lasts, we will never leave you."

Hanya Xian blushed and took the wine glass, nodding gratefully to Zuo Anning.

Tan Hanchi and Zuo Anning immediately stepped aside, while Qiao Tianjing and Hanya Xian drank in front of everyone.

Warm cheers and teasing immediately erupted in the main room, and Tan Hanchi and Zuo Anning were also squeezed into the same place as everyone was pushing and making noise.

Zuo Anning felt their sleeves rubbing together, and his face turned red from the heat.

Tan Hanchi leaned back as hard as he could. Although his face pretended to be calm, in fact, his ears were already red.

In such a festive atmosphere, everyone has long forgotten the so-called red tape and only focused on congratulating the beautiful couple in front of them.

Outside the crowd, a woman stood on tiptoe and looked desperately in. She saw Tan Hanchi and Zuo Anning standing together with red faces, her eyes flashed suddenly, and she turned and left in a hurry...

Chapter 150 Destroy her...

After the bridal chamber, everyone wisely retreated, and the banquet in front of them was about to start.

When Qiao Jiaojiao was carried out by Qiao Diyi, her eyes were still glued to the newlyweds in the room.

Seeing them standing there with blushing faces, Qiao Jiaojiao couldn't help covering her mouth and snickering.

[Hey, two shy monsters are getting together. This scene is really sweet and funny! 】

[Brother, you have to take the initiative! Sister-in-law, you are holding this big cabbage in your hands, you must hold her in the palm of your hand! 】

[Tonight's scene may not be suitable for children! hey-hey......】

Qiao Tianjing's face became hotter and hotter when Qiao Jiaojiao said this in her heart, and she could only pray silently in her heart:

Can the second brother walk faster and take the little sister away quickly? If you continue to listen, he will really have to find a crack in the ground to crawl in!

Qiao Diyi knew that his eldest brother was thin-skinned, so he laughed in his heart, walked quickly, and closed the door behind him.

Seeing that there was no one else in the room, Hanya Xian squeezed her hands nervously, feeling that her palms were a little sweaty.

She was feeling a little uneasy when Qiao Tianjing suddenly leaned over and gently took her hand.

His hands were very warm and large, able to easily wrap around her palms.

"Don't be nervous, Xian'er..."

After saying this, Qiao Tianjing's face turned red.

"I thought, I would call you Xian'er like your parents, so that you would feel more comfortable."

"The wedding banquet ahead is about to start, and I have to go out to toast. I'm afraid I won't be able to come back for a while."

"You can cleanse your face and take a bath first. Don't worry about the rules. Eat something first. Don't starve yourself."

"If you are really exhausted, you can have a peaceful sleep."

Qiao Tianjing's heart was filled with enthusiasm, and he was afraid that Hanya Xian would be uncomfortable, so he gave instructions warmly one by one.

Seeing Hanya Xian gently nodding, he felt a little relieved and was about to turn around and leave when Hanya Xian suddenly used a slight force to hook his fingers.

"Qiao Lang, I'm waiting for you to come back."

Hanya Xian said something tremblingly, and immediately retracted her hand in shame, turning her head and not daring to look at Qiao Tianjing again.

When Qiao Tianjing heard this, he felt a rush of hot breath rushing to his forehead, and he felt dizzy in an instant.

Xianer calls him Qiao Lang...

That's great, no one has ever called him that.

After coming back to his senses, Qiao Tianjing responded in a low voice and left the bridal chamber with a blushing face.

Han Yaxian's face was also blushing, and she didn't even dare to peek at his back this time.

————

Before the banquet started, Mrs. Qiao took the time to feed Qiao Jiaojiao.

Today, the eldest son got married. Mrs. Qiao's whole face was radiant and the corners of her mouth were not depressed.

While she patiently fed Qiao Jiaojiao, she listened to the servants report on the situation everywhere, and she handled it with ease.

Qiao Jiaojiao rarely participated in such lively scenes in her previous life. Her short life had always been deserted.

Now eating good food and watching the people coming and going in front of her, she couldn't help but feel filled with emotions.

[It's great. I've already lived a life that I couldn't even imagine in my previous life. 】

[Hey, I haven't been out for a long time, and I don't know what's going on at the relief hall. 】

[If I want to help them, I have to at least wait until I can actually speak. 】

[As long as they wait, my coffers are getting fuller and fuller. I should be able to help them a lot by then! 】

When Mrs. Qiao heard this, she looked at Qiao Jiaojiao with eyes full of pity.

Today is Dalang's big day, how could she forget the children in the relief hall.

Early this morning, she sent someone to deliver a lot of food, and also prepared a small red envelope for everyone!

Jiaojiao still doesn't know that the relief hall has changed drastically now. She will definitely be shocked the next time he takes her there.

Thinking of this, Mrs. Qiao had a smile on her face.

Seeing that Qiao Jiaojiao was full, Mrs. Qiao gently wiped her mouth. Seeing that everything was arranged properly, she suddenly remembered something and asked the maid next to her:

"By the way, don't forget to sprinkle some food for the dogs outside."

Qiao Jiaojiao:? ? ?

[Mom, you're so kind-hearted, how come your eldest brother can be so nice to the dogs around him when he's married? 】

Mrs. Qiao:? ? ?

Didn't Jiaojiao herself say that Da Lang would be a spoiler when he got married?

Dog outside:? ? ?

Dog food from heaven?

No matter what, today is the best meal the dog has ever had! Eat eat eat!

————

The eldest princess listened to the maid's report while changing her clothes. When she learned that Tan Hanchi and Zuo Anning seemed to be connected, her eyes darkened and there was a hint of anger on her face.

"Do you see clearly?" the eldest princess asked coldly.

The maid nodded with determination, "Princess, I can see clearly that the two of them were squeezed together, their faces were red, and they looked like a couple——"

"enough!"

The eldest princess shouted lowly, and the maidservant was so frightened that she immediately shut up.

The eldest princess sneered. No wonder Tan Hanchi looked at Duke Yan in the wedding hall just now.

At that time, Miss Zuo was probably just standing there, right?

"Princess, what should I do now?"

After all, Cailan is the most useful maid around the eldest princess. Others dare not speak at this time, but she is not hindered.

The eldest princess looked calm. She lowered her eyes and glanced at the kodan she had just dyed. The bright color made her hands as white as jade.

"Cai Lan, are everything ready?"

Cailan's heart trembled when she heard this, knowing that the princess had made up her mind.

She nodded solemnly, "Princess, don't worry, I have already prepared it. I have tried it on others and it is very effective!"

The eldest princess nodded with satisfaction when she heard this, and said in a calm tone: "Then let's go according to the plan. As for Zuo Anning...hehe, how can I have a sweetheart for the person I like?"

Cai Lan's eyes flashed slightly, "Princess, what do you mean?"

The eldest princess smiled lightly and said, "Don't kill her. After all, she is the legitimate daughter of Duke Yan. It will not end well if she is killed."

"Cailan, destroy her..."

When Cai Lan heard this, she immediately responded respectfully. She had always done what the princess said.

In the palace, she was a good assistant to the princess, handling more lives than she could count on her ten fingers.

————

The wedding banquet finally started.

As usual, men and women are still seated separately.

Brothers Qiao Zhongguo and Tian Jingdiyi entertained the male guests in the outer courtyard, while Mrs. Qiao accompanied the eldest princess and a group of ladies and ladies to have a banquet in the inner courtyard.

Qiao Jiaojiao was held in Qiao Zhongguo's arms.

This was Qiao Jiaojiao's own request. She was babbling and wanting to hug Qiao Zhongguo just now when she saw him.

Without him, she wanted to see how her grandfather looked at Tan Hanchi!

At this time, Qiao Zhongguo was holding Qiao Jiaojiao in one hand and holding a cup in the other, and could easily accompany Qiao Tianjing in toasting.

Qiao Jiaojiao stared in Tan Hanchi's direction with her big eyes.
