The Jinwu Guards are responsible for dealing with the aftermath, and the rest has nothing to do with their Qiao family.
Qiao Zhongguo was thinking about taking Qiao Jiaojiao home, so he immediately resigned to the prince.
The prince said with a warm expression, "Thanks to Yushi Qiao for arriving in time this time."
Qiao Zhongguo's eyes flashed slightly. Although he didn't know whether the prince's words contained any deep meaning, fortunately, he had already prepared a perfect reason.
"Wei Chen is also afraid. He was originally worried that the second boy would not be able to take care of his sister, but he did not expect that he would encounter a rebellion from the dead soldiers of the Northern Kingdom."
"It's lucky that Your Highness is fine, but that kid is really useless. You see, Jiaojiao's little hands are cold. I... I really need to teach that kid a lesson when I get back!"
Qiao Zhongguo became angry as he spoke, and his distressed look was unmistakable to anyone who saw it.
The prince raised his lips and smiled when he heard this, "There is a rumor in the capital that Yushi Qiao dotes on his wife as much as she wants. Now it seems that he will add another one."
Qiao Zhongguo laughed and said with a sincere expression: "Your Highness, this is my blessing. This life is enough."
When the prince saw Qiao Zhongguo's satisfied look, he felt truly envious at this moment.
It is indeed a rare blessing to find a sincere person in this world, with children around your knees, and a happy family.
It's just that this blessing is too luxurious for the royal people...
"Censor Qiao, my queen mother really wants to meet the little sister of the Qiao family. Could you please Mrs. Qiao to bring the little girl of the Qiao family into the palace to sit with my queen in a few days?"
Naturally, one cannot refuse the call from a noble person.
Qiao Zhongguo looked flattered, "That is naturally my wife's blessing."
Qiao Jiaojiao had already yawned.
[Ah - I'm so sleepy, I miss my mother so much, I want her fragrant and soft hug! 】
When Qiao Zhongguo heard Qiao Jiaojiao's thoughts, he became more and more heartbroken.
When the news came back to Qiao Mansion, Madam should be worried.
The prince was very satisfied, "In that case, Qiao Yushi, please come back quickly. This matter will be discussed in court tomorrow."
After Qiao Jiaojiao was put on the carriage, Grandma Liu immediately changed Qiao Jiaojiao into clean clothes. When she returned to Qiao's house, Qiao Jiaojiao was already fast asleep.
In the next few days, news spread like wildfire that a dead soldier from the Northern Kingdom assassinated the prince in the street, causing an uproar immediately.
The turmoil in the court has nothing to do with Qiao Jiaojiao.
She was dressed up beautifully today, because soon someone from the palace would come to take her and Mrs. Qiao to meet the queen.
After Qiao Zhongguo returned triumphantly from the North, Mrs. Qiao was granted the title of First Grade Imperial Lady. Now that she is wearing imperial robes, she is even more radiant.
While Nanny Liu was busy, she smiled and praised: "Madam, look at you, you are still exactly the same as you were when you first put on this imperial uniform."
Qiao Jiaojiao sat on the couch and nodded with a smile.
[Yes, that’s right, there are three kinds of life in this world, life, life span, and my mother’s enchantment. This is completely the work of Empress Nuwa to show off her skills! 】
Mrs. Qiao burst out laughing. Jiaojiao's little mouth is really getting better and better at talking.
"Madam, the people from the palace are here." Liu Mo said at the door.
Upon hearing this, Mrs. Qiao leaned over and picked up Qiao Jiaojiao, walked out and got into the carriage prepared by the palace.
Qiao Jiaojiao was so excited.
【What does the palace look like! Isn’t it the kind that’s so resplendent that it can blind one’s eyes just by looking at it? 】
[I really want to visit the Imperial Garden, the kind where concubines can always meet the emperor by chance! 】
[Ah, there is also the Jinluan Palace, but I may never be able to see what the Jinluan Palace looks like in this life! 】
Qiao Jiaojiao was thinking non-stop along the way, and felt very relieved when she heard Mrs. Qiao's chattering in her ears.
But Qiao Jiaojiao was destined to be disappointed. When they arrived at the palace gate, they immediately put on a soft sedan chair. According to the rules, the curtain could not be opened at will.
After getting off the sedan, a voice sounded, "Mrs. Qiao, Yikun Palace has arrived. Please get off the sedan."
Mrs. Qiao walked out with Qiao Jiaojiao in her arms. When Qiao Jiaojiao's dark eyes looked up, the words "Yikun Palace" came into view.
Before Mrs. Qiao could take a step, a lively figure ran out of the palace like a little swallow!
"Queen mother, my sister is here! Come and see, my sister has the most beautiful birth!"
The fourth prince, Shen Yuanling, was still at a carefree age. He kept making noises all day long, which showed that the queen and the prince protected him extremely well.
However, Qiao Jiaojiao had seen his calm behavior when the dead soldiers from the North were besieging him that day, and now she did not dare to underestimate this little kid.
Mrs. Qiao was led in by the palace maid. She bowed respectfully, but a crimson figure personally helped her up.
"There is no need to be polite, Mrs. Qiao."
Qiao Jiaojiao raised her head to look at the empress of the world.
She is about the same age as Mrs. Qiao, and she is also well-maintained, but after all, she rules the Sixth Palace and is busy every day, and her face still shows a tired look.
At this time, she had a smile on her face and gentle eyes. She didn't look like a powerful empress, but more like an aunt next door.
The moment she saw Mrs. Qiao clearly, the Queen couldn't hide the surprise in her eyes.
"The most beautiful woman in the capital, she truly deserves her reputation."
Mrs. Qiao was horrified and said, "Your Majesty has been praised too much, and I am too ashamed to deserve it."
The Queen smiled gently, her eyes showing intimacy.
"Mrs. Qiao, you don't have to be so restrained. A few days ago, on Putian Street, if Master Qiao hadn't arrived in time to save the prince and his mistress, I don't know how to be so frightened."
"There are no kings and ministers today, so let's just treat it as two sisters and have a casual chat, okay?"
Mrs. Qiao didn't expect the Queen to be so easy-going. She didn't dare to relax, but a smile appeared on her face.
"It is my wife's honor."
At this time, the Queen set her sights on Qiao Jiaojiao again.
"What a handsome girl, can I give you a hug?"
The Queen's eyes showed joy and she extended her hand to Qiao Jiaojiao.
Qiao Jiaojiao was not a real child. Seeing that the Queen was getting close to her, she immediately leaned towards the Queen with a smile.
The queen's eyes lit up slightly, and she hugged Qiao Jiaojiao over.
Qiao Jiaojiao was wearing a festive little red coat today, with two little tweets on her hair, and a small red mole between her eyebrows. She looked very cute with her pink makeup.
The queen originally had a hint of courtesy, but now she saw Qiao Jiaojiao smiling cutely at her, and her heart almost melted.
When she was pregnant with her fourth child, she also imagined giving birth to such a cute little girl.
Thinking of this, the queen took off an exquisite bracelet from her wrist and gently put it on Qiao Jiaojiao's little fleshy hand.
Mrs. Qiao has seen good things. When she saw that the bracelet was of extraordinary value, she quickly declined.
However, the Empress was the first to say: "I am very happy when I see this girl. This is a meeting gift. Mrs. Qiao cannot shirk it."
Qiao Jiaojiao raised her hand in a gesture, with a strange expression on her face, which made the queen laugh again.
[The Queen is so kind, but unfortunately her life is too hard, alas——]
Qiao Jiaojiao suddenly sighed, which frightened Mrs. Qiao's heart.
Fortunately, no one else could hear this, otherwise it would be a serious crime of beheading!
