After Qiao San retreated, there was silence in the study.

After a long time, Qiao Zhongguo slowly murmured: "It's so dangerous..."

Qiao Tianjing was convinced and nodded solemnly.

Yes, it's really dangerous.

From the moment he learned about the tragic ending of the Qiao family, he deeply realized that their enemy was the second prince who was favored by the world.

He has a peerless appearance and a great scheming mind.

The Holy One loves him favorably, women will be addicted to him without any regrets, and he has incredible opportunities. Even talents like Tan Hanchi have been used by him.

The Qiao family has come to this day thanks to their little sister's ability to predict the future. Even so, the second prince's methods are still endless, making it difficult for people to guard against.

If Meng Guxue, who had also foreseen the future, returned to the second prince, Qiao Tianjing could not imagine how difficult it would be for the Qiao family, and how powerful the second prince would be.

"She... shouldn't be so stupid, right?" Qiao Diyi said after hesitating for a while.

Even if he is as straight-hearted as he knows, with the cold-blooded and ruthless nature of the second prince, if Meng Guxue dares to tell everything, she will be imprisoned forever until the last bit of her value is squeezed out!

When Qiao Tianjing heard this, he shook his head unoptimistically.

"She doesn't know how to do it now, and there's no guarantee she won't do it in the future. Meng Guxue is not very smart, and she doesn't seem to be very scheming. She can't play with the second prince."

When Qiao Diyi heard this, he frowned tightly, and then he seemed to have made up his mind and said coldly:

"Then..."

He raised his hand and wiped his neck.

In order to protect the Qiao family, Qiao Diyi didn't mind getting blood on his hands, not to mention that Meng Guxue was the enemy who wanted to harm the Qiao family!

If there is any divine punishment for this, it will be borne by him alone, Qiao Diyi!

Qiao Tianjing's face was full of thoughtfulness, and he was still thinking about it.

At this time, Qiao Zhongguo suddenly stood up.

His face was more serious than ever before and he said in a deep voice: "Boss and Second Brother, I will teach you a lesson now."

"Sometimes, you don't have to kill with your own knife."

When Qiao Diyi heard this, he looked at his father in confusion, but a glimmer of light flashed in Qiao Tianjing's eyes!

Qiao Zhongguo walked to the flickering candlelight and said slowly:

"Meng Guxue may become a sharp weapon in the hands of the second prince. In the same way, she can also become... a sharp knife to stab the second prince!"

"Similarly, the second prince wants to take advantage of Meng Guxue, but when the situation becomes impossible, he will... destroy Meng Guxue without hesitation!"

At this point, Qiao Zhongguo turned around.

His eyes are bright, his eyebrows are stretched, and his grin is full of cunning, just like when he was playing tricks on the battlefield, he was so high-spirited!

"Boss and Second Brother, tell me what a wonderful drama it will be when the male protagonist and the female protagonist fight to kill each other..."

Qiao Diyi shuddered suddenly.

Dad...Dad is so scary!

Qiao Tianjing slowly raised the corners of his mouth.

Dad, that's wonderful——

Qiao Zhongguo chuckled, "Okay, come closer, I already have a plan in mind!"

"Then it will be like this...and then like this..."

Qiao Tianjing would interject from time to time, "Dad, wait a minute, we can still do this and this here..."

Qiao Diyi listened eagerly, and finally became the atmosphere group. From time to time:

"Ah? Can this still happen?"

"Ah? Is this okay?"

"ah???"

...

When the father and son came out of the study.

Qiao Zhongguo: It's been a long time since I've played my tricks. It's so enjoyable!

Qiao Tianjing: I really learned a lesson today and feel refreshed!

Qiao Diyi: Huh? So, he turns out to be the only stupid person in the family!

————

After the morning court on the second day, Qiao Zhongguo was named by Emperor Yong to stay.

The atmosphere in the Imperial Study Room was a bit gloomy.

Qiao Zhongguo was waiting respectfully. Opposite him stood the prince with a calm expression, and next to him stood an expressionless Tan Hanchi.

Emperor Yong sat behind the case with a heavy eyebrow.

"Qiao Aiqing, there is news from the Northern Kingdom mission that they will arrive in Kyoto on February 15th."

Qiao Zhongguo was suddenly surprised when he heard this. It turned out that the Northern Kingdom's envoy was about to arrive.

"Qiao Aiqing will greet you at the city gate that day."

This was intended to give the Northland mission some power.

After all, Qiao Zhongguo was the one who reached outside the capital of the Northern Kingdom in one fell swoop!

Qiao Zhongguo's eyes flashed slightly when he heard this, and he accepted the order calmly on his face.

Emperor Yong seemed to be in a bad mood and asked them to retreat after giving instructions.

After leaving the imperial study, the prince walked in front, followed by Qiao Zhongguo and Tan Hanchi.

The prince took the initiative to start the conversation, "Mr. Qiao, how is Xiaosi's behavior recently?"

Qiao Zhongguo immediately replied: "Your Highness, the Fourth Highness is working hard as always. If he can persist for a long time, he will definitely make great achievements in martial arts in the future."

The prince nodded happily after hearing this, and chatted again: "How is Jiaojiao doing lately?"

Hearing the prince ask about Jiaojiao, Qiao Zhongguo had a smile on his face, "Children are just the same every day. Jiaojiao has a more lively temperament and just likes to join in the fun."

"No, I don't know if my second brother mentioned the Eastern Suburbs Poetry Club in front of her, and she kept talking about it all day long, clamoring to join it!"

The prince's expression moved slightly when he heard this, and he took a deep look at Qiao Zhongguo.

Qiao Zhongguo was magnanimous, still smiling and letting the prince look at him.

The prince's mind was spinning, and he suddenly said with a smile: "Speaking of which, I attended the Eastern Suburbs Poetry Festival last year with Jiaojiao in my arms."

"This year, Nanli Kingdom and Northern Kingdom have sent envoys one after another. If nothing unexpected happens, I will take them to see them."

When Qiao Zhongguo heard the answer he wanted, he looked back at the prince deeply, then nodded with a smile.

"We in the Great Yong Dynasty are full of talented people, and we should let them see them."

Tan Hanchi: "..."

Playing tricks early in the morning, right...

The prince went to the East Palace halfway, and Qiao Zhongguo and Tan Hanchi continued to leave the palace together.

The two of them looked distant, and even though they were talking, to others, it was just ordinary greetings between colleagues.

"Lord Qiao, the purpose of the Northern Kingdom's mission is unclear, so you should be careful."

Tan Hanchi spoke calmly and meant something.

Qiao Zhongguo nodded politely, "People from the North regard me as a thorn in their side and a thorn in their flesh."

"It's just a small envoy, but it can't make any big waves. Just be afraid..."

When Qiao Zhongguo said this, he suddenly paused and then laughed.

"It's nothing. If the soldiers come to block it, the water will come and the earth will cover it."

Tan Hanchi knew what Qiao Zhongguo had left unfinished.

Mr. Qiao didn't take his former subordinate Beiguo seriously at all. What he was worried about... was the suspicious emperor sitting here.

Thinking of this, Tan Hanchi also smiled politely.

"Yes, when the troops come... they will be stopped by their own generals. Don't worry, Mr. Qiao."

The profound meaning——

Mr. Qiao, I am very happy to be the general who blocks the troops and covers the water for you.

The corner of Qiao Zhongguo's mouth raised slightly, but he immediately suppressed it again.

Boy Tan, I know you are reliable!

February 15th is the day when the Northern Kingdom's mission enters the city.

In the clan's mansion, the second prince sat behind the case, holding the "Book of Filial Piety" with a calm expression.

Uncle Zhou sat beside him, adding some tea to the second prince from time to time, but he seemed a little absent-minded and kept looking out the window in a trance.

The second prince saw this and asked, "Uncle Zhou, what time is it?"

Uncle Zhou was slightly excited. He had been counting the time in his heart, and now he blurted out:

"Your Highness, I think you've already been hit."

The second prince nodded slightly when he heard this, and then said calmly:

"Uncle Zhou, if you achieve great things, you should remain calm and avoid being overjoyed or sad."

Uncle Zhou felt a little ashamed when he heard this. It had been too long since he had seen his compatriots, and he couldn't help but feel excited when he learned that the Northern Kingdom's envoy was coming.

The second prince did not criticize Uncle Zhou too harshly. He gently put down the "Book of Filial Piety" in his hand, with waves in his eyes.

From the moment he responded to King Jinyu, he had already embarked on an irreversible path.

Today is the beginning of the head-on game between him and Qiao Zhongguo!

The general's ending is generally like this when he achieves great feats and shocks his master, but then kills his donkey.

Qiao Zhongguo, let me see how capable you are!

This time, can you avoid leaking and save the day?

————

Qiao Jiaojiao sat in the same private room in Zuixian Tower again.

Compared with the excitement when the Nanli State Mission entered the city on the eighth day of the lunar month, the atmosphere on the street today was much duller.

Both sides of the street were also filled with people, but everyone looked serious, and the expressions on their faces were indescribable disgust.

Some people even gritted their teeth and cursed loudly.

Qiao Jiaojiao could understand the mood of the people of Yong Dynasty very well.

History is like a grain of sand, and when it falls on a person's head, it becomes a mountain.

In the original work, there is just a light sentence: "The Northern Kingdom invaded the northern territory of the Yong Dynasty for no reason, burned, killed, plundered, and committed all kinds of evil."

For the people of the Yong Dynasty, this was a bloody and cruel history. It was the countless soldiers of the Yong Dynasty who sacrificed their lives to regain the peace and contentment they live in today.

Qiao Jiaojiao was lying by the window, her little hands slightly clenched, and she was already feeling worried in her heart.

"Daddy..."

[Although my father and brother have arranged manpower in advance, but now the people on the street are furious, no one knows what trouble will happen! 】

[Daddy will appear later. If the common people are led by someone with ulterior motives to say something treacherous, it will be like putting daddy on the fire! 】

Qiao Diyi obviously knew the seriousness of the matter. He was looking back and forth among the crowd with a straight face.

Just at this moment, there was a commotion on the street.

Qiao Jiaojiao knew that the Northern Kingdom's delegation was coming, so she stuck her head out.

The first thing that caught her eye was her tall and handsome father!

He sat upright on the horse, with a calm expression and sharp eyes.

Behind him was the Northland envoy.

They wear brocade hats, with snow-white fox fur wrapped around their necks. They have thick eyebrows, big eyes, and are tall.

As the team marched, all the Yong Dynasty people were strangely silent, following the Northerners with hateful eyes.

At this time, an extremely angry voice suddenly sounded from the crowd.

"Thieves from the North, get out of Yong Dynasty!"

As soon as these words came out, it was like hot oil poured into water, and Putian Street exploded in an instant!

"Get out! Get out!"

"Thieves from the North, get out!"

The people were so excited that they crowded towards the center of the road, and the street immediately became a mess!

When Qiao Jiaojiao saw this scene, she sat upright with a worried look on her face.

【It's still here...】

The hatred and indignation of the people is understandable.

However, since ancient times, the two countries have been at war without cutting off envoys, not to mention that the envoys from the Northern Kingdom came in the name of congratulating Emperor Yong on Christmas.

Whatever happens to the envoys of the Northern Kingdom today, the Imperial Court of the Northern Kingdom will make a fuss about it!

Qiao Zhongguo is not afraid of war, he is a seventy-year-old man. As long as the Yong Dynasty needs him, he is willing to wear armor and go into battle at any time!

But now the situation in the DPRK is complicated, and the hidden danger of the Second Prince has not been eliminated. If a fight breaks out, he will have to worry about being stabbed in the back with a knife!

Emperor Yong gave him the task of welcoming the Northern Kingdom envoy. Whether it was a matter of appreciation or testing, he must handle the matter beautifully!

Seeing the crowd pushing and shoving, and the streets full of dangers, Qiao Zhongguo took a long breath and suddenly shouted:

"Stop it!!!"

This sound was so powerful and majestic that it forced the people of Yong Dynasty to drink up their blood.

When Qiao Zhongguo saw everyone looking at him, he spoke solemnly:

"The Holy One worked hard to govern, loved his country as much as his family, God favored him, the Yong Dynasty had good weather, and the people lived and worked in peace and contentment."

"The country is prosperous and the army is strong, and the congratulations from all over the world are the best proof!"

"Why do we, the Yong Dynasty, have the appearance of a great nation, a state of etiquette, and a mere envoy, causing you to be so indignant!"

Qiao Zhongguo tightened the reins, straightened his back, and spoke loudly every word!

The Northern delegation behind them couldn't help but show anger when they heard Qiao Zhongguo describe them as "merely".

However, Qiao Zhongguo's name is very popular in the northern country. There are only twenty or thirty people among them now, and they really dare to be angry but dare not speak out.

Furthermore, they had already been told to follow Qiao Zhongguo obediently today and not fight back when hit or scolded...

After hearing Qiao Zhongguo's words, the people's impulse and resentment faded away a little. Seeing that the envoy from the North didn't dare to let out a fart, they finally calmed down.

Yes, we can't lose their Yong Dynasty etiquette in front of the northern thieves!

"Listen to General Qiao! Let's stand down!"

"Yes, everyone, stand down!"

The common people were still accustomed to calling Qiao Zhongguo General Qiao. Seeing that his majesty was still as majestic as before, they all showed respect and respectfully made way for him.

When Qiao Jiaojiao saw this, her vigilance reached its peak, and her eyes widened!

At this moment, a cry came out from the crowd again, extremely passionate.

"General Qiao! We only believe in you! We will do whatever you ask us to do!"

"Yes, listen to General Qiao! General Qiao is our great hero in the Yong Dynasty!"

"Yes! Hero! Hero!"

Qiao Jiaojiao was at a high place, her eyes fixed at this moment, and she immediately shouted: "That mud!"

In the crowd, I saw a strong man with a loud voice, shouting red-faced and shouting General Qiao.

【Bring the rhythm! This guy is definitely setting the pace! This is going to kill dad! 】

As a martial arts practitioner, Qiao Diyi reacted faster than Qiao Jiaojiao.

Almost at the same time that man shouted loudly, Qiao Diyi signaled to the Qiao family's secret guards who were mixed in the crowd.

Then he took a deep breath and shouted at the top of his voice:

"The Holy One loves the people like his own son! Long live the Holy One!"

The secret guards of the Qiao family in the crowd immediately responded: "Long live the Holy Lord!"

When the people saw this, they almost instinctively shouted: "Long live, long live, long live!"

More and more people joined in, and the shouts almost lifted the roof of Putian Street!

Qiao Zhongguo secretly exhaled a breath, and then led the Northern Kingdom delegation to continue walking forward.

Qiao Diyi shouted with all his might, his face turned red, and when he saw that everyone's voices were finally unified, he cursed secretly:

Damn it, isn't it just the rhythm? Who wouldn't!

Until the Northland team led by Qiao Zhongguo walked out of Putian Street, the shouts of long live still persisted.

Qiao Jiaojiao finally breathed a sigh of relief when she saw this.

The task of welcoming the Northland Mission was a thankless task for Chunchun!

If his father had failed to appease the people just now, whether there was a stampede or an envoy from the Northern Kingdom was injured, Emperor Yong would be able to punish his father.

Even if the matter is settled, it will be even worse if the second brother just failed to suppress the rhythmic person and the people chanted the name of daddy in unison!

Fortunately, this level has now been passed, but they cannot relax yet.

Because this is just an "appetizer" given by the male protagonist, there will be opportunities for him to become a monster later on during the Wanshou Festival!

————

Emperor Yong was sitting in his imperial study, with Tan Hanchi at his side.

Soon, the guard who went to inquire about the news came back.

He knelt respectfully in front of the case and reported truthfully everything that had just happened on Putian Street.

When Emperor Yong heard that some people were shouting "General Qiao", his expression did not change.

However, Tan Hanchi, who was observing meticulously from the sidelines, still found that the corners of Emperor Yong's mouth were slightly tightened and his eyes were gloomy.

When the guard then said that the people on Putian Street shouted long live, the scene was huge and stirring people's hearts, the corners of Emperor Yong's mouth suddenly relaxed and slowly rose.

Tan Hanchi saw this, bowed and said, "Your Majesty, Putian Street is not far from the palace. At this time, lingering sounds may still be heard outside the palace."

Emperor Yong stood up immediately after hearing this, looking very interested.

"Let's go out and listen."

Emperor Yong strode out of the imperial study, looking beyond Zhu Wa into the distance. Sure enough, he could still vaguely hear the sound of rising to the sky.

When Tan Hanchi saw this, he immediately complimented him and said, "All the people have expressed their wishes and expressed their feelings. It can be seen that the Holy One is a wise king and a holy Lord, and he is a blessing to the world."

No one doesn't like to hear good words, even Emperor Yong is no exception.

His eyebrows were stretched and the corners of his mouth were raised, and he seemed to be in a very good mood.

Tan Hanchi looked at the opportunity and then spoke carefully: "Your Majesty, you asked me a few days ago what the purpose of the Northern Kingdom mission was. I couldn't answer it at the time, but now I have an idea."

Emperor Yong raised his eyebrows slightly when he heard this, with a curious look on his face.

"Oh? Come and listen, Aiqing."

Tan Hanchi bowed and said, "Your Majesty, I just heard what the guards said. The envoy from the Northern Kingdom allowed the people to scold and push him on Putian Street without saying a word in return."

"But according to my understanding, the people in the North are reckless, brave and aggressive. Their behavior today seems to be against common sense, right?"

Emperor Yong nodded lightly, and after a while he suddenly said meaningfully: "Maybe it's because the leader of the team is Qiao Aiqing."

Tan Hanchi nodded immediately, "Your Majesty, this is where the weirdness lies!"

Emperor Yong tilted his head when he heard this and finally became interested.

"Oh? What do you say?"

Tan Hanchi looked serious and said in a deep voice: "Your Majesty, if you want to say who the people of the North hate the most, it is Master Qiao."

"Master Qiao is leading the team today. With the blood feud between them, how come the people from the Northern Kingdom cooperate obediently?"

"What's more, the crowd has been heated just now, which is the best time to stir up trouble. Once the envoys of the Northern Kingdom are injured in the capital, won't they be able to use this to pursue threats and cause trouble with us?"

Emperor Yong's eyes darkened slightly, "What exactly does Tan Aiqing want to say?"

At this time, Tan Hanchi bowed deeply to Emperor Yong, and said neither humble nor arrogantly: "Your Majesty, I would venture to guess that this Northern Kingdom mission...may be just for Lord Qiao!"

"It has been nearly fifteen years since the Northern Kingdom and our country stopped fighting. During these fifteen years, the Northern Kingdom has been recuperating and recuperating."

"Now if they want to make a comeback, Master Qiao must be their number one thorn in the side."

When Emperor Yong heard this, his expression was unclear.

At this time, Tan Hanchi suddenly said: "Your Majesty, I am bold and want to make a bet with you."

Emperor Yong was slightly startled when he heard this, but then showed interest, "Bet with me? Tan Aiqing, no one in the civil and military circles of this dynasty has ever bet with me."

Tan Hanchi also laughed, "Thanks to Your Majesty's high regard and respect, now I want to be the first person to make a bet with Your Majesty. Is Your Majesty willing to give me this opportunity?"

Emperor Yong's interest was completely piqued. He thought for a moment and then asked: "What does Aiqing want to bet with me?"

Tan Hanchi said loudly: "Let's bet on the purpose of this northern mission."

"I bet that the purpose of their trip is to get rid of Lord Qiao, and the method is... to give the Holy Lord eye drops to make the Holy Lord suspicious of Lord Qiao!"

"Of course, Your Majesty, you are extremely wise, so you will not be fooled by the tricks of the Northern Mission. I am just playing a trick with you, hoping to get a reward from you in disguise."

When Tan Hanchi said these words, he also tried his best and played all kinds of tricks.

He first flattered Emperor Yong with a few words, then elicited the intention of the Northern Kingdom envoy, and then made Emperor Yong feel more novel by making a bet.

Emperor Yong asked, and he praised Emperor Yong again in a moderate way, and finally ended with a joke, attributing the gamble to his "little greed" and covering up his true purpose.

After all, he worked so hard just to keep Qiao Zhongguo, a loyal minister of the Yong Dynasty!

Even if Emperor Yong doesn't agree, he has already given a hint, which can be regarded as achieving his goal.

After that, no matter what tricks the northern envoys played, as long as they were targeting Qiao Zhongguo, Emperor Yong would definitely be on guard because of what he said today!

At this time, Emperor Yong thought carefully and nodded.

"Since Aiqing is so confident, it doesn't matter if I bet with you."

"I want to see if those thieves from the North are really so audacious and have come all the way to get in front of me!"

When Tan Hanchi heard this, his face showed real joy.

"Thank you for your kindness, Your Majesty. You have given me the capital to brag to my colleagues."

Emperor Yong looked at Tan Hanchi with a smile on his face and had to admit in his heart that Tan Hanchi was indeed a wonderful man.

He entered officialdom through the imperial examination and had outstanding literary talent, but he did not have the aloofness and pride that scholars are accustomed to.

He is smart, quick-witted, eloquent, and able to judge the situation. He is the most satisfactory minister to him over the years.

Looking at all the young people in the dynasty, it seems that only Qiao Tianjing can be on par with him.

It's a pity that Qiao Tianjing is a member of the Qiao family, but he cannot become a close minister.

"Tell me, dear, if you win, what reward do you want?"

Tan Hanchi "hesitated" for a moment when he heard this, and then said with a smile: "Your Majesty, whatever you reward is good."

Emperor Yong saw Tan Hanchi's hesitation, his thoughts changed slightly, and he suddenly said: "Are you still interested in the young lady from the Yan Kingdom's family?"

Tan Hanchi's face felt "panic" for a moment, but he quickly calmed down and said respectfully:

"Your Majesty, I come from a humble background and dare not climb high."

When Emperor Yong heard this, his expression turned serious.

"You are my close minister, and I can give you infinite honor, no matter how high you are or not."

"I have considered this matter in my mind. If you really win the bet, I will give you an explanation."

Tan Hanchi suddenly raised his head when he heard this, his face was "flattered", and even his voice "unconsciously" became a little louder.

"Thank you, Your Majesty!"

Emperor Yong smiled lightly.

What he loves to see most is the grateful look of his ministers.

Just at this time, someone from the palace came to report, and Qiao Zhongguo led the envoys from the North Kingdom to wait at the gate of the palace.

Emperor Yong waved his hand: "Xuan, go to the Hall of Supreme Harmony."

Tan Hanchi hurriedly followed up, a faint light flashing in his eyes...

The days passed by in a hurry, and soon the first day of March came.

Qiao Mansion.

Since he slowly handed over Qingzhou's business to Hanya Xian, Qiao Tianjing finally felt more relaxed.

But the price is that Qiao Tianjing went from being very busy alone to now that both husband and wife are very busy!

Han Yaxian was very happy. She lived a fulfilling life every day and could often learn something new.

She also often consulted with Mrs. Qiao, and the mother-in-law and daughter-in-law worked together to think about new styles of lipstick and perfume.

Of course, Mrs. Qiao can often get some surprises and inspirations from Qiao Jiaojiao's inner voice, and then secretly tell her...

She once asked Qiao Lang whether it would be a good idea to hide this from her little sister.

Qiao Lang asked her a question seriously:

"Xian'er, even if you are open and honest in your heart, how would you feel if you knew that others could hear your thoughts?"

After Han Yaxian pondered for a moment, he immediately shook his head in pain.

Because after she took over, she found that she couldn't help but panic, subconsciously suppressed her thoughts, restrained herself, and even wanted to escape from everyone.

At that time, Qiao Lang sighed slightly, his face full of unbearability.

"Actually, we can hear the little sister's voice. This is unfair to the little sister, but this seems to be God's arrangement, allowing the little sister to guide us out of the predicament and change our destiny."

"Xian'er, we all love our little sister so much that we even value her more than our own lives."

"When my little sister grows up, maybe she will have new ideas. If the time is right, I think we will tell her."

"Or maybe one day, when we completely change our destiny, maybe we will never hear my little sister's voice again."

"Now all we can do is hide it from her and let her grow up happily without any burden or restraint."

After hearing this, Hanya Xian understood the painstaking efforts of Qiao Tianjing and the others. She just pretended not to know about this matter and did not reveal any clues in front of Qiao Jiaojiao.

In the study room of Qiao Mansion.

Qiao Tianjing has been focusing a lot on Meng Mansion and Meng Guxue recently.

Because in the next period of time, Meng Guxue will be a crucial part of their plan!

When he learned that Mrs. Meng had always disagreed with Meng Guxue's participation in the Eastern Suburbs Poetry Festival the next day, Qiao Tianjing decided to take action.

In front of him stood the secret guard Qiao San, who was now fully responsible for the Meng Mansion line.

Qiao Tianjing said in a deep voice: "Third uncle, find an opportunity to tell Meng Guxue about Baili Chengyou's participation in the poetry meeting."

"If she still can't think of a way, then on the third day of March, we will help her leave the Meng Mansion."

Qiao San nodded respectfully: "Yes!"

————

Meng Mansion.

Meng Guxue has been feeling aggrieved recently.

Because no matter how coquettish she was, Mrs. Meng was determined not to let her participate in this year's Eastern Suburbs Poetry Festival.

In fact, she didn't have to go.

Because she can also go to the Wanshou Festival palace banquet on the fourth day of March.

If the development in the dream was followed, she would indeed have stunned Baili Chengyou at the palace banquet.

But since everything had not gone well for her since she time traveled, she still wanted to try her luck at the poetry festival first, which would give herself one more chance.

If Baili Chengyou also went to the poetry meeting, wouldn't she be able to impress Baili Chengyou one day in advance?

However, Mrs. Meng was really stubborn and said that the letter sent to Qingzhou had been answered and that the so-called cousin would come to the capital to pick her up in person.

She doesn't want to go to Qingzhou!

"well--"

Meng Guxue rolled around on the bed, upset.

At this moment, muffled voices sounded outside the door.

"Miss Tao, these are the clothes that were delivered for washing the day before yesterday. They have been washed and dried."

"Mother Wang, why did you personally deliver this today?"

"Miss Xiao Tao, didn't you ask for news for the young lady a few days ago? I overheard some information. I wonder if the young lady still wants to know?"

When Meng Guxue heard this, she sat up.

"want!"

She whispered, hurriedly got down and opened the door.

Grandma Wang in the laundry room was short and thin, and she hurriedly saluted when she saw Meng Guxue.

Meng Guxue got straight to the point and asked, "What do you know? Tell me quickly."

Grandma Wang said hurriedly: "I heard what they said. It has nothing to do with us slaves. We are just joining in the fun."

"It has been spread outside that this year's poetry festival will be extremely grand, because even the envoys from the Southern Kingdom and the Northern Kingdom will participate."

When Meng Guxue heard this, her eyes lit up.

"really?"

Grandma Wang quickly shook her head, "Miss, I just listened to it once, but I can't guarantee it."

Meng Guxue didn't care anymore.

Since the news can spread, it must not be groundless.

She must go to this poetry gathering!

"Xiao Tao, show the reward to Grandma Wang quickly. Grandma Wang, if you have any news later, remember to come and tell us in time!"

Grandma Wang took the broken silver and happily agreed.

Meng Guxue returned to the room, and Xiao Tao immediately followed in holding clothes and said with a worried look:

"Miss, you...you don't want to go to the poetry club, do you? But the madam won't agree."

Meng Guxue had already made up her mind and shook her head nonchalantly.

"Even if mother doesn't let me go, I will try my best to go! Xiaotao, this poetry fair is really important to me!"

Xiaotao didn't understand at all.

"Miss, your talent has already been recognized by the capital. I'm sorry to say this, but you don't need to prove yourself at the poetry festival."

"My servant saw that you were so talented in writing that day and wrote so many poems in one breath. I'm afraid there is no one in the world who is better at writing poems than you."

Xiao Tao praised her sincerely, and Meng Guxue also knew that Xiao Tao treated her sincerely.

She hesitated for a moment, then said: "Xiao Tao, I'm not going here to show off, I want to fight for a future for myself!"

"The future?" Xiao Tao looked confused.

Meng Guxue nodded firmly.

"Yes, because I am not willing to be mediocre. What I want is a vigorous life and someone who treats me wholeheartedly!"

Xiao Tao suddenly understood and couldn't help but look shocked.

"Miss, it's taboo to give or receive in private! You already sent poems to me that day. If we meet again in private, it will really...be irreversible!"

"Miss, don't do such a thing!"

Meng Guxue shook her head, "Xiao Tao, it's not him. What I want to fight for is another person."

Xiao Tao reacted for a long time and suddenly covered her mouth.

The lady is in love with another young master again?

"But miss, your poem and your handwriting are still in the hands of the previous gentleman. This...this is a handle!"

When Meng Guxue heard this, her delicate face lifted slightly, and a smile suddenly appeared.

"Xiao Tao, although you and I are not smart at all, my whole life is about my future. How could I be unprepared?"

Xiaotao looked at Meng Guxue in surprise when she heard this.

Meng Guxue said with a faint smile: "There are more than a hundred poems in my mind. As for my handwriting, if others can recognize it, I lose!"

When she wrote poems silently for the second prince, she had only learned calligraphy for two months. Although she could read the calligraphy, she was still very immature.

Since then, she has made a conscious effort to learn another font.

In the past year, her handwriting has become completely different from before.

"By the way, Xiao Tao, please do your best tonight and burn all my posts about calligraphy practice. Not a single one will be left!"

"Forget it, let's burn them together! I have to watch them all turn to ashes before I can feel at ease!"

Meng Guxue said, walking towards the wooden box where the written posts were stored with a determined expression.

If Baili Chengyou really loves and protects her like in the dream, then she will abandon the uncontrollable second prince and seek another future!

On the third day of March, Qiao Jiaojiao got up early.

The little person sat obediently on the couch, wearing a pink skirt.

There are plump little balls on the left and right sides of the round little head, which are then wrapped with light green and tender pink ribbons and hang down on the side of the body.

Anyone who sees this little face with pink makeup and jade will be unable to take their eyes away.

Aunt Liu looked at it again and again with joy, and kept praising: "Madam, there is no more beautiful girl in the world than Miss."

When Qiao Jiaojiao heard this, she tilted her head and smiled, with big eyes and two small dimples.

When Qiao Diyi entered the main room, he saw such a heart-warming picture.

"Little sister, let the second brother hug you!"

Qiao Di stepped forward with a smile on her face, hugged Qiao Jiaojiao, and then couldn't wait to rub her cheek affectionately against Qiao Jiaojiao's little face.

"Whoever wants to steal my little sister from me today is not allowed!"

"Brother! Play! Go play!"

Qiao Jiaojiao grabbed Qiao Diyi's lapel and shouted excitedly.

【Going to the poetry club! So looking forward to it! ! ! 】

"Okay, second brother will take you there now!"

Qiao Diyi nudged her gently, said something to Mrs. Qiao, and then walked out with Qiao Jiaojiao in his arms.

Aunt Liu still followed.

In the Qingzhuyuan study room, Qiao Tianjing was making final confirmations.

"Third uncle, has Meng Guxue gone?"

Qiao San nodded, "Master, the news came back early this morning that Meng Guxue has successfully left home."

Qiao Tianjing raised his eyebrows slightly when he heard this, "Oh? Have you taken action?"

Qiao San shook his head.

"Mrs. Meng always disagreed, so last night, Miss Meng went to Mr. Meng's study. The father and daughter had some words inside. When they came out, Mr. Meng agreed."

When Qiao Tianjing heard this, the corner of his mouth raised slightly.

"She's not stupid."

Mrs. Meng loved her daughter very much, but she was afraid that Meng Guxue would cause some trouble again, so she refused to let go.

But Mr. Meng likes to be high-ranking, so it will be much easier to convince him.

"Okay, Third Uncle, the line with the Meng family will continue to be maintained, and I will handle the affairs of the poetry meeting."

After leaving the study, Qiao Tianjing first went to the main room.

Hanya Xian was sitting by the window, doing needlework.

Her expression was focused, and her whole body was filled with tenderness and tranquility.

Qiao Tianjing took one look and felt very relieved. He did not come forward to disturb him and quietly retreated out.

If it were an ordinary poetry gathering, he would definitely bring Xian'er along.

However, there were also delegations from two countries at the poetry meeting today, and the situation was complicated, so she had to stay at home.

After leaving the gate of Qiao Mansion, Qiao Diyi and Qiao Jiaojiao were already waiting for him in the car.

The three of them went together. Just like in previous years, the carriage couldn't move when it reached Yintian Road.

Just when Qiao Diyi got out of the carriage with Qiao Jiaojiao in his arms, a familiar voice rang out.

"Sister Qiao! Second brother Qiao!"

When Qiao Diyi heard the sound, he turned around and saw the fourth prince jumping out of the carriage happily. He saw that he was waiting here specially.

Qiao Diyi: "..."

I knew this kid must be haunted!

The fourth prince walked up to Qiao Diyi and his eyes immediately lit up when he saw the lovely Qiao Jiaojiao.

"Sister Qiao looks so beautiful today!"

Qiao Diyi: "..."

Take a look, I'm starting to be attentive!

"Xiao Si!"

Qiao Jiaojiao was happy when she heard the compliment and immediately gave the fourth prince a smile.

Qiao Tianjing also got off the carriage at this time. When he saw this, he asked warmly: "Your Highness, Fourth Highness, where is His Highness the Crown Prince?"

The fourth prince smiled and replied: "Brother Qiao, my brother has accompanied the delegations from the two countries to the eastern suburbs. I stayed here to wait for you."

"It's so boring hanging out with those envoys. I want to play with Sister Qiao!"

Qiao Tianjing couldn't help but smile when he heard this, "Then the Fourth Highness will come with us."

There were many people on the road, so Qiao Diyi did not put Qiao Jiaojiao down. The fourth prince walked beside Qiao Tianjing and suddenly said casually:

"Actually, the mission is not all boring people."

Qiao Tianjing's expression changed slightly when he heard this, and then he heard the fourth prince continue to say in an innocent tone:

"The third prince of Nanli Kingdom is quite interesting. He acts casually and seems to have no taboos. After arriving, he openly inquired about a lot of information."

"Xiaosi felt that he seemed to be particularly interested in the second brother. He didn't see the second brother when he arrived, and he looked regretful."

"He also said that he longed for the literati style of our Great Yong Dynasty, and he also had many wonderful poems copied and appreciated carefully."

"When the prince's brother saw this, he mentioned the Eastern Suburbs Poetry Club to him. He quickly said that he wanted to come. I don't know, I thought he had been looking forward to it for a long time."

"Brother Qiao, you will know when you see him soon. He is a very interesting person."

Qiao Tianjing lowered his eyes slightly when he heard this. The fourth prince had grown taller in the past six months, but his face was still full of childishness.

These words came out of his mouth with a smile, as if they were just joking words.

Qiao Tianjing didn't show anything strange, he just smiled and said: "Your Highness said this, I am really curious."

Qiao Jiaojiao felt something strange in her ears.

[This silly Baitian waited here specially just to say this, right? 】

[Did he want to say it himself, or did the prince teach him to say it? 】

[Tsk, according to what Sha Baitian said, it seems that Baili Chengyou is also a bit interesting...]

【Even I can't help but start looking forward to it! 】

After arriving in the eastern suburbs, my horizons suddenly broadened a lot.

Passing through the peach blossom forest is the large open space where the poetry meeting was held. It was full and many people were already sitting there.

Qiao Jiaojiao glanced around and immediately saw Meng Guxue.

At this time, she was sitting upright behind the case, talking in a low voice to the maid next to her. Compared with the previous year when she looked around, she was really much calmer.

Some time ago, Qiao Tianjing found an opportunity to calmly tell Qiao Jiaojiao about the news about Meng Guxue that Qiao San had found.

So Qiao Jiaojiao was already convinced that Meng Guxue definitely knew the plot!

[It seems that Meng Guxue has really thought about changing her target. If she wholeheartedly decided to be with the male protagonist, there would be no need for her to come to today's poetry gathering. 】

[I just don't know what's going on with the second male lead. If he loves the country as much as the male lead but not beauty, will Meng Guxue's mentality explode? 】

【etc! I suddenly remembered something very interesting! 】

Qiao Diyi hurriedly raised his ears.

what? What?

Qiao Jiaojiao chuckled.

[Although the second prince cannot be present, there is no way he can be blind in such a lively occasion today! 】

[So there must be people arranged by him for this poetry meeting. In this way, Meng Guxue's performance will soon reach the ears of the second prince. 】

[As long as Meng Guxue is determined to attack Baili Chengyou, the second prince will definitely guess that Meng Guxue has changed his mind...]

[Hehe, I originally thought that the Shura Field would only be staged at the Wanshou Festival Palace Banquet tomorrow, but now that I look at it, it's probably going to be a storm tonight! 】

As soon as Qiao Jiaojiao's thoughts reached this point, there was a noise behind her.

She turned around and saw that the prince was coming with the envoys from the two countries!

Qiao Jiaojiao's eyes widened and she rubbed her hands expectantly.

[Let's first see what kind of sparks Meng Guxue and Baili Chengyou will create! 】

[If the two of them knew each other, the eldest brother wouldn't have to take action! 】

Chapter 186 Incredibly smooth

Everyone had already consciously reserved the first few seats.

At this time, the crown prince and the fourth prince walked forward with the third prince of the Nanli Kingdom and an elderly envoy from the North Kingdom, while the rest of the envoy found a seat nearby and sat down.

Qiao Jiaojiao had long heard from her father that this envoy from the Northern Kingdom was Che Hebi, King Jinyu's teacher. According to what the Northerners called him, he was the Grand Master.

Today he took off his mink hat and fox scarf. His temples were slightly white, and he looked like a strong, ordinary old man.

Baili Chengyou was still dressed in flamboyant red, and the bell tied behind his hair was hung on his waistband, jingling with every step he took.

He raised his chin slightly and looked around casually. Just as the fourth prince said just now, he was very casual and had no taboos.

Perhaps because of the presence of the delegations from the two countries, Qiao Jiaojiao felt that the atmosphere was a bit dull. Unlike last time, everyone was chatting separately.

She calmly took out a small biscuit and sat back to watch the show.

From the moment the Nanli State delegation entered the scene, Meng Guxue lowered her head.

Under the stone table, she clasped her hands together, feeling very nervous.

The last time, it was also in this position that she was attracted by the beautiful second prince at a glance.

She had countless poems in her arms and waited with great ambition to impress the second prince. However, everything went wrong and she failed.

Baili Chengyou was the only two quality men in her dream.

If she failed again today, even she wouldn't know what to do in the future.

So she must be more cautious and use the best image to appear in front of Baili Chengyou to attract his attention...

Meng Guxue was wandering in the sky, hesitating, when Xiao Tao beside her suddenly tugged on her sleeve.

"Miss......"

Meng Guxue frowned and asked in a low voice: "What's wrong?"

"Miss, look up..."

Meng Guxue didn't know why. When she raised her eyes, a piece of red clothes came into view.

red?

Her heart skipped a beat, and she quickly looked up and saw Baili Chengyou standing in front of her case, looking down at her intently.

"you......"

Meng Guxue was stunned.

Why is Baili Chengyou here?

She didn't hear the bell ring!

etc! The way she looked up just now wasn't very stupid and ugly, right?

It's over!

Meng Guxue felt vaguely desperate and wanted to cry.

She knew that nothing she did would go smoothly!

At this time, Baili Chengyou suddenly said: "Are you Miss Meng who is good at composing poetry?"

His voice was clear, and his eyes moved around Meng Guxue's face many times without any scruples.

Meng Guxue stared at him blankly and nodded instinctively, "I am."

The corners of Baili Chengyou's mouth raised slightly, and a smile penetrated his eyes.

"I admire Miss Meng's talent very much. I will also ask Miss Meng to give you some advice, so that I can see Miss Meng's style with my own eyes."

After he finished speaking, he walked away.

This time, he did not hold on to the bell around his waist, and the sweet sound of tinkling slowly followed him away.

Meng Guxue didn't react until Baili Chengyou sat down.

This...what the hell is going on?

She looked around blankly and saw everyone's eyes wandering back and forth between her and Baili Chengyou.

At this moment, Meng Guxue suddenly felt that for the first time, she was treated as a "heroine" should. A handsome man came forward and became the center of everyone's attention.

Qiao Jiaojiao watched this scene intently, with a thoughtful look on her face.

[Just now Silly Baitian said that Baili Chengyou is very interested in poetry...]

[So, did Baili Chengyou make such an abrupt move after hearing about Meng Guxue's talent, or... did he have a deeper meaning? 】

This time, it was still the highly respected gentlemen Gu Qianshan and Zhao Wenzhu who presided over the poetry meeting.

The two sat on the stage and mentioned the theme they had already discussed - "harmony".

Now that people from the three countries are here, this theme is indeed very timely.

Because Baili Chengyou praised Meng Guxue just now, most people's attention is now on her.

Meng Guxue did not disappoint everyone. She quickly wrote a poem and handed it to the stage.

In view of the low-level mistakes made in the last poetry meeting, she had already learned about the history and geography of the Yong Dynasty in advance, and she did not violate any taboos this time.

She even took extra precautions and chose poems that had never been written to the second prince.

Qiao Jiaojiao couldn't help but nodded when she saw Mr. Gu Qianshan already praising Meng Guxue on the stage.

[It is said that one learns from one's mistakes, and Meng Guxue is indeed different. 】

[It seems that we still can't take it lightly. After all, Meng Guxue cannot stand still. Underestimating anyone may lead to fatal flaws! 】

Hearing this, Qiao Tianjing nodded with deep understanding.

The little girl had previously said that Meng Guxue was the "heroine" of this world, and they had been wary of her for a long time.

But later, they slowly discovered that apart from the knowledge in her head, Meng Guxue had nothing worthy of praise in terms of intelligence or scheming, so they gradually paid less attention to her.

Looking back today, she has improved a lot compared to a year ago.

Sure enough, you can't underestimate any enemy...

Meng Guxue stood and listened to Mr. Gu Qianshan's comments, enjoying the looks of surprise, admiration or jealousy from everyone, and her heart was filled with a sense of unreality.

It went so well...

It was the first time since she time traveled that everything went smoothly. Is there really no problem?

Will someone try to push her into the water soon? Or will something else happen that will make her miserable?

Meng Guxue sat down uneasily, feeling that she had been beaten by reality and developed "persecution paranoia".

Qiao Jiaojiao couldn't help but feel a little funny when she saw Meng Guxue worrying about gains and losses.

[I guess Meng Guxue herself felt that today was incredibly smooth. 】

[From this point of view, if I hadn't "made a hindrance", Meng Guxue would really have followed the established track and become the leading heroine of Shuangwen. 】

The half-time poetry meeting in the morning became Meng Guxue's personal show. She single-handedly won the three best poems in the audience.

Baili Chengyou did not hesitate to praise Meng Guxue, and even slapped Meng Guxue once.

His enthusiastic attitude made everyone's eyes become subtle.

After all, it is said that the third prince came to Yong Dynasty for another purpose-marriage!

Qiao Jiaojiao looked at the earnest third prince, her face full of deep thought.

[This Baili Chengyou is a bit interesting, he can't be...]

At this time, Gu Qianshan announced that the first half of the poetry meeting was over.

Meng Guxue stood up dizzy, wishing she could find a place to get some fresh air.

Today is really unreal, she needs to take it easy...

Seeing this, Qiao Jiaojiao quickly grabbed Qiao Diyi's lapel, her face full of seriousness.

[Second brother, second brother, we have to follow Meng Guxue closely today. Maybe... we will discover something incredible! 】

Chapter 187 What a pity...

Qiao Diyi had already received instructions from Qiao Tianjing, and he only had two tasks today:

One is to hug my little sister tightly, and the other is to follow Meng Guxue closely.

Seeing Meng Guxue stand up and leave, Qiao Diyi looked at Qiao Tianjing calmly and followed him out.

As for Qiao Tianjing, the prince will have dinner with the envoys from the two countries today. As an official of the imperial court, he must accompany him.

A group of people cheered and stood up. Baili Chengyou noticed Qiao Tianjing following the prince, and couldn't help but raise his eyebrows and asked:

"His Royal Highness, who is this?"

The prince smiled and said, "This is Qiao Tianjing, the minister of household affairs."

Qiao Tianjing then bowed and saluted Baili Chengyou, "I have met His Highness the Third Prince."

"Qiao Tianjing?"

Baili Chengyou repeated it lightly, and suddenly seemed to have thought of something, showing a meaningful expression.

"It's the Qiao family..."

Qiao Tianjing saw Baili Chengyou's expression in his eyes, smiled lightly and straightened up, calmly and magnanimously.

Baili Chengyou was just a prince from another country. As an official of the Yong Dynasty, he represented the face of the Yong Dynasty. It was enough to be polite, but there was no need to be groveling.

But as the fourth prince said before, this Baili prince is indeed interesting.

His expression just now seemed as if he knew some unknown secret...

In the courtyard in the eastern suburbs, a sumptuous lunch has already been prepared.

Everyone was seated, drinking and drinking, and the atmosphere was harmonious.

At this time, Baili Chengyou suddenly started talking.

"His Royal Highness, your Yong Dynasty is indeed full of capable people. Today's poetry meeting is so lively, and tomorrow's Wanshou Palace banquet will surely be an eye-opener for this palace."

"But it's a pity..."

The prince's expression did not change when he heard this, and he asked with a smile: "I wonder what the third highness is regretting?"

Baili Chengyou drank a cup by himself, and then said: "This palace has long heard about the amazing reputation of the second prince of your dynasty. There will be a banquet at the Wanshou Palace tomorrow, but I wonder if I will be lucky enough to see his elegance?"

As soon as these words came out, the atmosphere in the venue instantly became subtle.

Qiao Tianjing looked at Baili Chengyou with a smile, guessing his intention in saying this.

At this time, Baili Chengyou said without any scruples: "I heard that the second prince's mother-in-law was the princess of the Northern Kingdom. Grand Master Che came to Yong Dynasty for the first time, so he must also want to meet the second prince, right?"

"Well, I don't know what mistake the second prince made, and he was banned for a year. It's really unbelievable."

"But as a son, no matter what mistakes he makes, he will always attend his father's birthday party. Master Che, what do you think?"

Baili Chengyou tilted his head and looked at Che Hebi with a smile, his peach blossom eyes shining brightly.

When the Northern Kingdom was defeated, they eagerly sacrificed Princess Yuliu, and they were able to survive.

This is a shame that the people of the North will never be able to wash away in their lifetime, but Baili Chengyou said it in front of the North Country envoys.

Che and Bi Meiyu were gloomy, but before they could speak, Baili Chengyou continued:

"Alas, the second prince is half of the blood of the Northern Kingdom. Grand Master Che has come all the way. It would be a pity not to see him."

"I do have an idea."

"There will be a banquet at the Longevity Palace tomorrow. If you didn't know anything about the grounding, then you will be begging to see the second prince in front of all the civil and military officials."

"It's not easy for Emperor Yong to slap your face in public. He will definitely issue an order to release the second prince in advance."

"Master Che, what do you think of our method?"

Baili Chengyou had a smile on his face, with a sincere look on his face, as if he was sincerely considering the envoy from the Northern Kingdom.

Qiao Tianjing raised his glass and took a sip, covering the corners of his slightly curved mouth.

Is Prince Baili giving advice to the Northern Kingdom mission? This is obviously tearing off someone's fig leaf in front of them!

However, listening to the meaning of Prince Baili's words, he seemed to have long been convinced that the Northern Kingdom mission was here to relieve the second prince.

How did he know...

Che Hebi glanced at Baili Chengyou with a sullen face. After all, he was the emperor's master. The next moment, he curled his lips and smiled as if nothing had happened.

"Prince Baili, this is a great idea. We really want to meet the second prince, but we have no choice."

"I didn't expect that Prince Baili would be so enthusiastic to help us out. If we don't do it, it will look like we are ignorant."

"If Emperor Yong agrees to it at the palace banquet tomorrow, he will definitely thank Prince Baili on the spot."

Che Hebi said, and raised his hand to toast Baili Chengyou.

The prince smiled and looked at the people coming and going in front of him, his expression extremely calm.

The second brother will definitely show up at the palace banquet tomorrow.

Perhaps, the second brother will take the opportunity to play some tricks to regain his father's favor for him, so as to return to the court and return to everyone's sight.

Thinking of this, the prince not only did not panic, but instead raised the corners of his mouth in anticipation.

Second brother, just think of it as a game between you and me, and let's officially start tomorrow...

Baili Chengyou was not annoyed that he did not take advantage verbally. He smiled and had a drink with Che Hebi, and suddenly stood up again.

"His Royal Highness, after you have eaten and drank enough, I want to leave the table early and go out for a walk. You won't blame me, right?"

The prince shook his head and said, "Where are you? Your Majesty, please do so."

Upon hearing this, Baili Chengyou strode out, the bells on his waist jingling.

As soon as he left the house, a follower came up to him and whispered something in his ear.

Baili Chengyou raised the corners of his mouth, "Let's go and have a look."

Qiao Tianjing listened to the sound of the bell and walked away, his eyes brightening slightly.

Next, it's time for the second brother to get busy...

————

After all, Meng Guxue was frightened by Sheng Xiuran, so she just stayed away from the river at the moment.

And today was so smooth that she felt uneasy. She was afraid that someone was going to harm her, and she didn't dare to go into the crowd.

Finally, after searching around for a while, he took Xiaotao into the peach forest and sat down in a deserted place.

Qiao Diyi was a master of lightness skills and followed Qiao Jiaojiao in his arms without anyone noticing.

He found a big tree to cover his body, and made a hissing gesture at Qiao Jiaojiao in his arms.

"Little sister, don't make any noise." Qiao Diyi said silently.

Qiao Jiaojiao hurriedly covered her mouth with both hands, looked at Qiao Diyi eagerly, and nodded repeatedly.

Qiao Diyi smiled and gave Qiao Jiaojiao a thumbs up, and then his expression slowly became serious.

A few trees away, Xiaotao took out a water bag and pastries and handed them to Meng Guxue.

Meng Guxue only drank water, but she had no appetite for the cake.

When Xiao Tao saw this, she was worried and confused.

If she guessed correctly, the young lady went all out to participate in the poetry meeting, and the young master she wanted to win over was the third prince of Nanli Kingdom, right?

Didn't the young lady already perform very well at the poetry meeting just now?

The third prince also took the initiative to talk to the young lady and held his hands for her. This was a treatment that other girls did not have!

But why doesn't the young lady look happy at all?

Xiao Tao had a question in her mind, and when she saw no one was around, she asked.

Meng Guxue sighed softly after hearing this.

"Xiao Tao, you don't understand. He took the initiative to talk to me as soon as he came up. It's obvious that he has already investigated and understood me in advance."

When Xiaotao heard this, she became even more puzzled.

"Miss, since the young man came forward after getting to know the young lady, doesn't it mean that he is interested in the young lady?"

Meng Guxue shook her head with worry on her face.

"That's what's weird! The few times I've appeared in front of people, I've always been embarrassed and embarrassed. How come he's still interested in me?"

There was another concern that Meng Guxue did not express.

She knew that Baili Chengyou was not an easy man. After all, he would also be the leader of Nanli Kingdom in the future.

If Baili Chengyou investigates deeply, he wonders if he will discover her connection with the second prince.

Xiaotao had a filter for Meng Guxue, and she didn't take it seriously when she heard this.

"The young lady's talents are unparalleled in the entire capital. It is only natural that the young master would appreciate the young lady."

"Yeah?"

Meng Guxue had some doubts in her heart, but she had to say that Xiao Tao's words really comforted her.

Xiao Tao nodded firmly, "Of course it is, so miss, just recharge your batteries and write more poems in the afternoon, you will definitely get what you want!"

Meng Guxue was shocked by Xiao Tao's energetic words and immediately nodded heavily.

"Xiao Tao, you are right! Bring me the pastries, I want to eat them!"

"Four dollars! No, five dollars!"

Qiao Jiaojiao not far away: "..."

[This Meng Guxue used to be arrogant and self-confident, but now she has become more restrained. How come she has become naive again...]

[But now it seems that she can at least use her brain. 】

[At this moment...it depends on whether Baili Chengyou will come. If he comes, things will go wrong! 】

"Xiao Tao, hurry up, water! This walnut cake is going to choke me to death!"

Meng Guxue's urgent voice suddenly sounded.

Qiao Jiaojiao: "..."

[Good guy, it messed up my thoughts...]

Qiao Diyi: "..."

Can Meng Guxue really become an important part...

Jingle bell, jingle bell——

At this time, the sweet bells came slowly from far to near.

When Qiao Jiaojiao heard the sound, she suddenly sat upright and grabbed Qiao Diyi's arm with excitement.

【coming! Listening to this voice, Baili Chengyou is really here! 】

Meng Guxue finally swallowed the mouthful of walnut cake, and almost choked on the water when she heard the sound of the bell.

She looked up suddenly and saw a red figure walking slowly through the peach trees.

Xiao Tao's expression suddenly changed when she saw this, she quickly opened her arms to block Meng Guxue and said loudly:

"Your Highness, there is already someone here!"

It was one thing for the young lady to amaze the third prince at the poetry festival, but it was another thing to meet him in private!

Baili Chengyou pushed aside the peach branches in front of his eyes and immediately saw Meng Guxue sitting on the ground.

Hearing Xiao Tao's words, he raised the corner of his mouth slightly and said with a smile: "Of course I know there is someone here. After all... I am here for Miss Meng."

These words were extremely frivolous. When Xiaotao heard this, her face immediately turned red and she turned to look at Meng Guxue helplessly.

The moment Meng Guxue saw Baili Chengyou appear, her heart skipped a beat.

This Baili Chengyou... seems to be different from the dream!

"Miss Meng, I have something to say to you. Can you give me a favor?"

Xiao Tao quickly shook her head when she heard this, "Miss, no, it will be ruined if someone hits me!"

Baili Chengyou pointed back, "There are people from this temple guarding you on the way here. No one will stray into this place by mistake. I believe it will not harm Miss Meng's reputation."

"Miss Meng, how are you?"

Meng Guxue's eyes flickered and he was undecided.

She couldn't see through what Baili Chengyou wanted to do!

However, wasn't she going on this trip just to confirm whether Baili Chengyou was her best choice?

Thinking of this, Meng Guxue put her hand on Xiao Tao's shoulder and gently pushed her away.

"Xiao Tao, you go ahead and wait for me. You don't have to go far. I'll have a few words with His Highness."

Xiao Tao's expression changed immediately when she heard this, "Miss!"

Meng Guxue had made up her mind, "Xiao Tao, have you forgotten what I told you?"

She came here today just to fight for a future!

Xiaotao hesitated for a long time, but was finally discouraged by Meng Guxue's firm look.

"Okay, Xiaotao, listen to Miss..."

Xiao Tao stood up and walked away anxiously, and then Baili Chengyou slowly walked over.

He was sensible and sat down on the ground about five steps away from Meng Guxue.

The two looked at each other and fell into an eerie silence.

Qiao Jiaojiao couldn't see what kind of scene was ahead, and when she saw Meng Guxue and the others suddenly lost their voice, she felt like a kitten scratching her heart.

"Miss Meng."

Baili Chengyou's voice suddenly sounded, extremely calm.

"Are you willing to follow me back to Nanli Country and be my third prince's concubine?"

Qiao Jiaojiao:! ! !

[Is it so exciting when you first start? 】

Meng Guxue was also stunned. She opened her mouth slightly and didn't come back to her senses for a long time.

Baili Chengyou was very patient and did not urge him.

It took a long time before Meng Guxue's voice rang out.

"why me?"

Although what she wants today is to become the third prince's concubine and go to Nanli Kingdom to become a person above ten thousand people.

But when everything came so easily, she couldn't believe it.

"I admire Miss Meng's talent very much." Baili Chengyou said with a smile, and his voice was very gentle.

Meng Guxue frowned upon hearing this, her heart full of caution.

"Is that why?"

Baili Chengyou tilted his head and asked with a smile: "Isn't this reason enough?"

Meng Guxue shook her head.

She took a deep breath and told herself to calm down, after all, the next conversation was about her future!

The next moment, she spoke in a deep voice, expressing her worries that she had already thought about.

"Your Highness, you are the prince, do you have the final say in the choice of your prince's concubine?"

"What if you were just joking today and deceived me into moving to Nanli Country? I would be alone in a foreign country with no power. Wouldn't it be at your mercy?"

As soon as Meng Guxue said these words, Qiao Jiaojiao immediately looked at her.

[It seems that Meng Guxue has indeed made preparations, and is not being led by the nose by Baili Chengyou. 】

Baili Chengyou nodded seriously, "Before coming to the Yong Dynasty this time, I told my father that I would definitely bring a princess back with me."

"If Miss Meng is not at ease, I can ask Emperor Yong to grant a marriage tomorrow at the palace banquet. If the two countries get married, Emperor Yong will definitely make you a princess with a different surname."

"The countless dowries and entourage will then be your confidence, and the Yong Kingdom will also be your confidence."

Meng Guxue's heart skipped a beat when she heard this.

Is this Baili Chengyou really here?

But he didn't seem to be as deeply in love with her as in the dream. What exactly did he want?

Thinking of this, Meng Guxue said boldly: "This is not enough!"

Baili Chengyou raised his eyebrows and said, "I'm all ears."

Meng Guxue did not hesitate and said directly: "There is one thing that I cannot compromise no matter what. Your Highness, I want to be together for the rest of my life!"

Qiao Jiaojiao nodded secretly when she heard this.

This is the bottom line that every time-traveling woman cannot compromise.

Modern education, loyalty to love, and respect for self-personality do not allow them to share a man with other women.

When Qiao Diyi heard this, he felt it was normal.

After all, this is the rule of their Qiao family, and it is indeed a wonderful thing to be together for the rest of your life.

[Baili Chengyou is the prince, and will become the leader of Nanli Kingdom in the future. Now that the reality has developed far away from the Mary Sue plot, he shouldn't be able to do it, right? 】

When Qiao Jiaojiao thought of this, she was not so sure.

"good."

As a result, Baili Chengyou not only did not show any surprise, but also agreed very simply.

When Qiao Jiaojiao heard this, she raised her eyebrows.

[He agreed? Now it's really interesting! 】

Meng Guxue obviously did not expect this answer. She widened her eyes slightly and asked:

"Your Highness, did you hear clearly? I am talking about a pair for life. Even if you become the king of a country in the future, you cannot have another woman."

"Whether it's a concubine, a concubine, a concubine, a concubine, or a bed warmer, you can't have any of them!"

Baili Chengyou nodded, "I know."

When Meng Guxue heard this, her expression changed again and again, and finally stood up suddenly and said coldly:

"Your Highness, today's conversation is over. You can leave!"

When Qiao Jiaojiao heard this, her eyes suddenly lit up.

[Meng Guxue has really grown a brain! She is really unambiguous when it comes to life-long matters! 】

Qiao Diyi:? ? ?

ah? Didn't Baili Chengyou agree? Why did the conversation suddenly break down?

After hearing this, Baili Chengyou stood up and looked at Meng Guxue with lowered eyes.

"Miss Meng, why? Didn't I promise you already?"

The height difference between the two was quite large, and Meng Guxue had to take a few steps back before she could look directly at him.

She secretly clenched her hands under her sleeves and told herself not to have stage fright.

What she wants to fight for now is her happiness for the rest of her life!

"Your Highness, it is extremely difficult for any man to be together for the rest of his life, not to mention that you are a noble prince."

"I haven't saved your life, and I can't bring you any help in fighting for reserves. Are you willing to sacrifice so much just because you appreciate my talent?"

"I, Meng Guxue, am stupid, and my scheming is naturally not as good as yours, Third Highness, but I am still somewhat self-aware, and I am cautious enough when it comes to my marriage."

"That's all for today. I wish His Highness the Third Prince to find a good match as soon as possible and everything will go as planned!"

After saying this, Meng Guxue walked towards Xiao Tao in the distance without hesitation, her face firm and cold.

However, in fact, her palms were already wet, and her heart was beating very fast!

At present, it seems that Baili Chengyou is indeed an excellent choice, so she wants to force Baili Chengyou to reveal his true intentions and then weigh the pros and cons!

Qiao Jiaojiao's eyes were bright and her face was full of novelty.

At this time, Meng Guxue really looks a bit like in the original work!

[If Baili Chengyou really wants to be with Meng Guxue, he should tell a few truths! 】

Sure enough, seeing Meng Guxue about to pass him by, Baili Chengyou suddenly said:

"Miss Meng, what if I said that I had admired you for a long time before I met you."

Meng Guxue paused in her steps and suddenly turned around to look at Baili Chengyou, with a look of astonishment on her face.

Qiao Jiaojiao:! ! !

【Knew it! Case solved! 】

Qiao Diyi:? ? ?

ah? What's the meaning?

Meng Guxue's heart was filled with panic, and she vaguely guessed the reason for Baili Chengyou's sudden behavior today.

Facing Meng Guxue's shocked look, Baili Chengyou said frankly:

"Although this sounds ridiculous, I did see Ms. Meng in my dream more than a year ago, and I have been attracted to her for a long time."

Meng Guxue was frightened when she heard this.

Sure enough, Baili Chengyou was also dreaming!

Will his dream be exactly the same as hers?

Meng Guxue was horrified and didn't understand why this series of mysterious things happened.

Baili Chengyou naturally never imagined that Meng Guxue would have the same experience as him.

"Ms. Meng, I'm not lying. I remember it very clearly. On September 15th of the year before last, I fell asleep as usual, but I had an extremely mysterious dream."

Qiao Jiaojiao keenly captured an ingenious moment in time.

September 15th of the year before last.

That was the day she was born, the day Meng Guxue traveled through time, and the day Baili Chengyou dreamed of the original work...

What a coincidence?

Or is it a matter of destiny?

Meng Guxue swallowed nervously, because she also discovered that the day Baili Chengyou dreamed was the day she traveled to this world.

Baili Chengyou continued to explain: "When I woke up the next day, I was surprised. With a mentality that I would rather believe it, I sent people to Yongchao to investigate, and sure enough I discovered your existence."

"Then I sent people to keep an eye on you. Until now when the time is right, I came to Yong Dynasty and appeared in front of you."

"You will be a pair for life, you also said it in your dream, but at that time, you said it to Shen Yuanbai."

"I had already prepared this in my mind, that's why I agreed so simply."

"If you don't believe all of the above, I swear to God."

Baili Chengyou's face was full of sincerity and he looked directly at Meng Guxue.

Meng Guxue was shocked.

She had had the same dream, so she naturally believed Baili Chengyou's words.

So, could it be that God arranged for them to foresee the future at the same time and then come together?

At this time, Meng Guxue suddenly remembered the ending between Baili Chengyou and her in the dream.

She only had Shen Lang in her heart, and in the end she could only live up to Baili Chengyou's sincerity.

Baili Chengyou was disheartened and finally decided to let go.

Before returning to Nanli Country, he once said something to her: "If you can, leave your next life to me..."

At this moment, Baili Chengyou spoke warmly: "As I said in my dream, I pray that you will leave it to me in the next life."

"If that dream can be counted as one life, this is already the next life."

After hearing this, Meng Guxue no longer had any doubts in her heart.

At this moment, joy, shock, and satisfaction all came to her heart. She was convinced that this Baili Chengyou was the Baili Chengyou in her dream, and he really came to see her specially!

"you......"

Meng Guxue spoke tremblingly, but for a moment she didn't know how to answer him.

At this time, Baili Chengyou said considerately: "Miss Meng, you don't have to give me the answer now."

"Tomorrow at the Wanshou Palace Banquet, I will personally propose marriage to Emperor Yong. If you are willing to leave your life to me, then agree to it at the Wanshou Palace Banquet tomorrow."

After Baili Chengyou finished speaking, he nodded gently to Meng Guxue, then slowly backed away, turned and left.

The sweet sound of bells followed him away, and Meng Guxue was stunned.

Only then did Qiao Diyi and Qiao Jiaojiao poke their heads out.

Qiao Jiaojiao looked at Baili Chengyou's back hidden in the peach forest, with a thoughtful expression on her face.

[Tsk, tsk, tsk, how much does sincerity and falsehood each account for...]

Baili Chengyou walked all the way outside.

In a place where no one could see him, he had an inscrutable smile on his handsome and bright face, and he walked as calmly as if he were strolling in a garden, as if he had everything under control.

Looking up inadvertently, he suddenly saw a cluster of peach blossoms in full bloom on the branch.

The next moment, he raised his hand and folded it down without hesitation, playing with it carefully.

Beautiful things must be held firmly in your hands to be pleasing to the eye.

"Your Highness."

The entourage who had been waiting outside for a long time saw Baili Chengyou coming out and hurriedly stepped forward to greet him.

"A'Tu, how are you?" Baili Chengyou asked casually.

Atu, the follower, replied respectfully: "Your Highness, the five of us are guarding the place to the death. This place is also inaccessible."

"Only one person came from Ashen's side. He said he was here for a stroll and wanted to visit the peach forest, but he was stopped."

Baili Chengyou raised his eyebrows slightly when he heard this, "Oh? How about that person?"

A Tu immediately lowered his voice and said with a serious face: "Although he is dressed as a scholar, he speaks calmly and powerfully. He looks like a practicing practitioner."

"Your Highness, do you need me to find that person?"

Baili Chengyou pondered for a moment and suddenly showed a meaningful smile.

"No need, I know who that person is, so let him go back and report."

"This way, tomorrow will be more interesting..."

Baili Chengyou said as he continued to walk forward, the bell jingled.

"Atu."

"My subordinate is here."

"Take out all the bells in this temple tonight. If I am in a good mood, I will hang them up tomorrow."

A Tu: "..."

————

Xiaotao was watching from a distance, and when she saw that the third prince had left and her young lady was still standing there in a daze, she couldn't help but feel extremely worried.

"Miss!"

Xiaotao ran over and called out eagerly.

Meng Guxue slowly came back to her senses, and when she saw Xiao Tao who was extremely concerned about her, her thoughts surged in her heart, and she suddenly asked sincerely:

"Xiao Tao, you are so kind to me. If I go to a place far, far away, will you go with me?"

Xiao Tao was shocked, "Miss, you... what do you mean?"

When Meng Guxue saw that Xiao Tao didn't answer, she also knew that she was being forced into something difficult.

Not everyone is willing to leave their hometown, not to mention that she is heading for an uncertain future.

"It's okay, Xiaotao, I was just talking nonsense, let's go."

Meng Guxue shook her head and took Xiao Tao's arm affectionately.

There was a smile on her face at this time, and she looked completely different from the worried look just now.

Xiaotao looked at Meng Guxue's pretty side face, hesitated for a while, and then said seriously:

"Miss, Xiao Tao was abducted by human traffickers since she was a child. She traveled all the way and was lucky enough to become the lady's maid."

"Xiao Tao has no relatives or friends in this world. From now on, wherever the young lady goes, Xiao Tao will go!"

Meng Guxue paused when she heard this, and the next moment she was so moved that she grabbed Xiao Tao's hand.

"Xiao Tao, thank you! I said before that I will never treat you badly. What I said is true!"

Xiaotao's heart and eyes were full of trust in Meng Guxue, and she nodded with a smile.

"Xiao Tao believes in Miss!"

The two continued to walk forward, and their voices gradually became distant.

"Xiao Tao, you are just like my little sister!"

"By the way, don't tell anyone about my meeting with the Third Prince today, including my father and mother..."

When the forest fell silent and everyone left, Qiao Diyi slowly walked out with Qiao Jiaojiao in his arms.

He was not quite sure whether Meng Guxue and Baili Chengyou were successful.

Moreover, the little girl's serious look made him a little scared...

Could it be that there was some flaw that he didn't notice?

【They are all gone finally, right? 】

When Qiao Diyi heard Qiao Jiaojiao's inner voice, his heart suddenly jumped, and he immediately looked like he was all ears.

Qiao Jiaojiao raised her hand and rubbed her belly.

【ah! Eavesdropping is a technical job, and I'm really starving to death...]

Qiao Diyi:? ? ?

That's it?

etc! How can the little girl be hungry?

"Little sister, second brother will take you out!"

Qiao Diyi did not leave the way he came, but deliberately made a large circle and exited the Taolin from another direction.

Qiao Jiaojiao's eyes sparkled when she saw this.

[Second brother is so awesome, I didn't even expect it just now! 】

[If Baili Chengyou or the second prince's people are still guarding the outside and return from the original route, they will really fall into a trap! 】

Qiao Diyi raised his head proudly.

He is not very clever, but his ability to eavesdrop, follow, and fight against injustice is top-notch!

When he found Qiao Tianjing, he was leaning in the carriage with his eyes closed to relax.

Don't ask. Asking is just playing tricks on the two envoys. It's numb.

"elder brother!"

As soon as Qiao Jiaojiao's voice sounded, Qiao Tianjing felt like his whole body was getting wet.

He hurriedly took Qiao Jiaojiao from Qiao Diyi's hand and handed the exquisite pastries to her with a smile.

"My little sister must be starving."

Qiao Jiaojiao nodded hurriedly, pointing to her belly, "Hungry!"

When Qiao Tianjing heard this, she felt heartbroken. Qiao Jiaojiao asked for cakes and handed over cakes and water, and "served" them properly.

After Qiao Jiaojiao had eaten and drank enough, she leaned into Qiao Tianjing's arms and listened to Qiao Diyi's story.

When he learned that Baili Chengyou had a dream and seemed to predict the future in advance, Qiao Tianjing had a look of surprise on his face.

Then everything makes sense.

No wonder Baili Chengyou showed such a meaningful expression after learning his name.

He must have also seen in the future that their Qiao family would be overturned and they would die a happy ending, right?

So, what purpose did Baili Chengyou have in coming to Yong Dynasty?

Rob Meng Guxue? Targeting the second prince?

And as the Qiao family is an insignificant supporting role, Baili Chengyou must not have noticed it at all, right?

Thinking of this, Qiao Tianjing slowly raised the corners of his mouth.

Interesting, so interesting.

The plan of sitting on a mountain and watching tigers fight has just come to fruition!

At this time, Qiao Diyi was still muttering: "Brother, can a person really fall in love with someone he has never met based on a dream?"

"Then Baili Chengyou said that he will ask to marry Meng Guxue at the palace banquet tomorrow. He will definitely keep his promise."

Upon hearing this, Qiao Tianjing took a deep look at Qiao Diyi.

His stupid second brother.

Qiao Jiaojiao glanced at Qiao Diyi helplessly.

【My silly second brother! 】

Qiao Diyi:?

[If Baili Chengyou really dreamed everything, then he should also know that Meng Guxue is extraordinary. She has a unique formula in her mind. She helped the second prince create a business empire! 】

[Even if the second prince could unify the Yong Dynasty and the Northern Kingdom, Meng Guxue's help would be indispensable! 】

[Such a fragrant steamed bun is right in front of you. If you want to compete in the world, how can you not be tempted? 】

[As for how much truth there is in this, only Baili Chengyou himself knows! 】
