Qiao Mansion.
After Tan Hanchi waited for the medicine to dissipate, he started writing.
Qiao Zhongguo was worried that Qiao Jiaojiao would be bored, so he took her back to Mrs. Qiao.
Just after lunch, someone suddenly came to the palace.
Mrs. Qiao was inevitably a little uneasy. Today's summons came a bit unexpectedly.
The palace attendant who delivered the order seemed to have received the instruction. After delivering the order, he immediately said with a smile:
"Mrs. Qiao, it's a good thing. The Queen wants to see you."
Mrs. Qiao's mind changed slightly, and Qiao Jiaojiao's eyes were already shining.
【ah! Has the Crown Princess been chosen? The Queen wants to share the joy with her! 】
Mrs. Qiao and Qiao Jiaojiao thought of going together.
"In this case, Rong Chen's wife should freshen up."
The palace man said hurriedly and politely: "Mrs. Qiao, just take your time. Your Majesty said there is no rush."
Mrs. Qiao nodded, but her hands and feet became more and more agile.
The Queen was considerate of her, but she couldn't let her wait any longer.
About two-quarters of an hour later, Mrs. Qiao had finished packing. She was about to go out when Qiao Zhongguo walked into the house.
"Madam, let Dalang take you there."
Qiao Zhongguo did not hide the important matters of the previous dynasty from Mrs. Qiao. Upon hearing this, Mrs. Qiao said keenly: "But do you want Da Lang to meet His Highness the Crown Prince?"
Upon hearing this, Qiao Zhongguo stepped forward and took Mrs. Qiao's hand, and said with a smile: "Madam is indeed smart."
"My husband is a courtier after all, and it is not appropriate for me to be too close to His Highness. However, the Dalang and the Crown Prince are of similar age, and his friendship with the Crown Prince is obvious to everyone in the capital, so it is easier to do things."
"Then Tan Hanchi has been silent for most of the time. I want Dalang to take it to the prince to see it first, tell the whole story, and then listen to the prince's plan."
"But Da Lang is a foreign minister after all and cannot enter the harem, so he wants to invite his wife..."
Upon hearing this, Mrs. Qiao took Qiao Zhongguo's hand and nodded gently, "Don't worry, husband, I understand everything."
Qiao Zhongguo felt anxious after hearing this. Having a good wife at home was Qiao Zhongguo's greatest blessing.
Mrs. Qiao hugged Qiao Jiaojiao and got into the carriage. Qiao Tianjing rode beside her, and the group soon arrived outside the palace gate.
Mrs. Qiao and Qiao Jiaojiao followed the palace attendants onto the sedan chair. Qiao Tianjing looked gentle and nodded in greeting.
"Mom, my son is waiting for you here."
Mrs. Qiao smiled tenderly at her son and lowered the curtain of the sedan chair.
Qiao Jiaojiao had experience this time. She lay obediently in Mrs. Qiao's arms until she heard the palace attendant shouting "Yikun Palace has arrived", then she sat up happily.
After getting off the sedan chair, they saw the Queen herself walking out of the palace, followed by Her Royal Highness.
Mrs. Qiao was frightened and hurried forward to greet him.
"Don't you dare bother me to go here?"
The Queen Mother came to help her with a smile on her face, "Mrs. Qiao doesn't need to be so polite."
Qiao Jiaojiao raised her head and took a closer look, and saw that the Queen's face was rosy, with bright joy between her eyebrows. She was obviously looking much better than the last time they met.
"Jiaojiao, you are such a good girl, I have been thinking about you for a long time."
The Empress stretched out her hand to Qiao Jiaojiao, and Qiao Jiaojiao immediately threw herself into the Empress' arms with a giggle.
The queen weighed it gently, with a wider smile on her face.
"You've grown a lot. Look at it. From now on, I will definitely follow your mother's lead."
Mrs. Qiao greeted the prince again, and the prince immediately helped him.
When Mrs. Qiao stood up, she lowered her voice and said respectfully: "Your Highness, it was Dalang who sent me here today."
The prince was stunned for a moment, and understood in an instant.
"Since we parted ways with Dalang at the last poetry meeting, we have all been in the court hall. I haven't had a good chat with Dalang for a long time."
Mrs. Qiao felt much relieved when she saw that the message had been brought.
After entering the palace, the Queen congratulated Mrs. Qiao and brought many children's toys to entertain Qiao Jiaojiao.
"Xiao Si found out all of them personally after he heard that Jiaojiao was coming. Everything is his favorite."
Qiao Jiaojiao picked up a lifelike little tiger and couldn't help mumbling.
[I haven’t seen that silly Baitian for a long time. He was with Di Zaiying all day long, so he wasn’t eaten alive, right? 】
Seeing Qiao Jiaojiao's curiosity, Mrs. Qiao asked on her behalf, "Your Majesty, why don't you see the Fourth Prince?"
Hearing this, the Empress showed a trace of distress on her face, "Xiaosi is enlightened. His husband is very strict and he is still being restrained from practicing calligraphy at this time."
The queen felt very sorry for the fourth prince, and the prince was very hardworking at that time, but he was the eldest son and the crown prince, so the queen would not say much even if she felt sorry for him.
But the fourth prince did not have such a heavy burden on his shoulders, and the queen would rather her youngest son live a more relaxed life.
Unexpectedly, the emperor chose such a serious and serious gentleman and restrained the fourth prince, who was as lively as a bird, in the room.
When the queen saw the fourth prince's palms that were red and swollen from practicing calligraphy for a long time, her heart couldn't help but ache.
When the prince heard this, he thought that the fourth prince was thinking about Qiao Jiaojiao, so he spoke warmly:
"Mother, let me hold Jiaojiao and go see Xiaosi."
When Qiao Jiaojiao heard this, she immediately sat upright.
【I wanna go! I want to see what kind of person Di Zaiying is! 】
The queen also felt sorry for the fourth prince, and couldn't help turning her head to look at Mrs. Qiao after hearing this.
"Mrs. Qiao, look?"
Of course Mrs. Qiao would not refuse, "Jiaojiao is lively and lively. I hope it will not disturb the fourth prince."
Upon hearing this, the prince leaned over and picked up Qiao Jiaojiao who was on the couch, and took her out of Yikun Palace.
In the palace, the Queen then talked to Mrs. Qiao about the Crown Princess.
"At the last poetry meeting, the prince saw the temperament of the daughter of the Duke of Qing. He was very unhappy. But when he talked about the eldest daughter of the Xiao family, his face was full of smiles."
"After hearing about this, His Majesty agreed to give the position of Crown Princess to the eldest daughter of the Xiao family."
When Mrs. Qiao heard this, she couldn't help but feel happy.
According to Jiaojiao's feelings, the eldest daughter of the Xiao family is the best candidate for the crown princess!
"Congratulations to the empress, congratulations to the prince."
The queen was also very happy, "The prince can find a caring person. As a mother, I am also happy for him."
"However, the Holy One has still decided to give Miss Sheng the position of concubine. The decree should be sent out after the Spring Festival is officially over."
Mrs. Qiao immediately remembered what her husband and son were busy doing, and quickly raised her eyebrows to hide her expression.
It is still open to question whether the concubine of the Duke of Qing's palace can become the crown prince's concubine.
On the other side, the prince and Qiao Jiaojiao walked slowly all the way to the upper study room where the princes studied and practiced calligraphy.
From a distance, Qiao Jiaojiao saw an extremely upright figure through the opened door.
Even though he was still a child, his feet couldn't even reach the ground when he sat on the chair.
But even so, he had already straightened his back, holding the pen in a decent manner, and concentrated on practicing calligraphy on the table.
Qiao Jiaojiao couldn't help but let out a sigh.
【It’s so silly and sweet! 】
The sudden baby sound attracted the attention of the people in the room.
The fourth prince slowly raised his head, and when he saw the prince standing at the door holding Qiao Jiaojiao, joy instantly appeared on his little face.
At this moment, he instantly changed from a little adult to a carefree child. He put down his pen and jumped off the chair.
"Brother! Sister Qiao!"
