Tan Hanchi paused for a moment, then continued to leave without hesitation.
Today's matter is brought before the Holy One, and he is right!
The moment the Qiao family secret guards saw the eldest princess appearing, they already felt something was wrong.
Now seeing the eldest princess taking the initiative to talk to Tan Hanchi, she knew she could wait no longer and hurriedly went quietly to find Qiao Zhongguo.
After all, the other party is an extremely noble princess. As a secret guard, he cannot make arbitrary decisions. If he fails to deal with it properly, he may even threaten the entire Qiao Mansion!
The eldest princess did not expect that Tan Hanchi would not even listen to her words. Seeing Tan Hanchi walking faster and faster, she bit her lower lip and could only shout:
"Tan Xiuzhan, why do you regard me as a scourge? Or do you mean that you don't even care about Miss Zuo of Duke Yan's residence anymore?"
When Tan Hanchi heard this, he turned around suddenly.
When the eldest princess saw that Tan Hanchi had indeed stopped, she clenched her hands suddenly and suddenly felt angry.
Tan Hanchi was really happy with Zuo Anning!
——————
At the banquet in the front yard, Qiao Zhongguo was joking with the prince about the progress of the fourth prince's martial arts training. When a servant came up to pour wine, he lightly touched Qiao Zhongguo's arm.
Qiao Zhongguo's expression remained unchanged and he said calmly: "Jiaojiao is a little troubled, maybe she wants to go to the backyard."
Qiao Jiaojiao, who was babbling with the fourth prince:? ? ?
[No matter what, dad said I was making trouble, then I must be making trouble! 】
Thinking of this, Qiao Jiaojiao hummed impatiently and shouted: "Mother! Mother!"
Qiao Zhongguo secretly praised Qiao Jiaojiao for her cleverness, and pretended to get up to coax her.
The prince was very considerate and waved to Qiao Zhongguo.
"Master Qiao, please go first. I will be fine."
Qiao Zhongguo bowed to the prince apologetically, hugged Qiao Jiaojiao and left the table.
As soon as the two of them stepped into the deserted inner courtyard, a black shadow immediately fell in front of Qiao Zhongguo and whispered:
"General, on his way back from changing his clothes, Tan Xiuzhuan was blocked by the eldest princess!"
He spoke quickly and told everything that had just happened.
Qiao Zhongguo's heart skipped a beat when he heard this. He didn't expect that there was really something going on over there with Tan Hanchi!
"Let's go!"
Qiao Zhongguo turned around and strode towards the dressing yard.
Qiao Jiaojiao's expression changed drastically when she heard this.
[My mother is cautious and has made arrangements early. The dressing yard for male guests is in the outer courtyard, and the dressing yard for female guests is in the inner courtyard. Moreover, the east and west directions are completely opposite. 】
[So, it is absolutely impossible for the princess to go astray. Then, she went to block Tan Hanchi on purpose! 】
[Why did the princess go to block Tan Hanchi? 】
Qiao Jiaojiao's eyes flickered and her little head turned rapidly!
【etc! Tan Hanchi is now a close minister of the emperor, enjoying great glory, but he is completely different from his original desolate appearance! 】
[Could it be that the eldest princess fell in love with Tan Hanchi and knew that Tan Hanchi would never give up his official career and become the consort, so she went out of her way to plot against him in the Qiao Mansion? 】
Thinking of this, Qiao Jiaojiao felt sick in her heart.
[These people from the royal family are just trying to catch our Qiao family gathering wool, right? All the plans have been set for my eldest brother’s wedding! 】
[If something really happened, wouldn't it ruin eldest brother's wedding and make Emperor Yong angry at our Qiao family? 】
【I'm furious! 】
Qiao Jiaojiao's face bulged, she was really fed up with these people who were constantly plotting against the Qiao family!
[I don’t know what dirty tricks the eldest princess will use. No matter how smart Tan Hanchi is, he may fall for it without any precautions! 】
[The eldest princess doesn’t know how long she has been preparing for it, I’m afraid it’s long ago...]
When her thoughts reached this point, Qiao Jiaojiao suddenly felt frightened.
【etc! If the eldest princess had started planning early, she would definitely send someone to investigate and monitor Tan Hanchi! Wouldn't she just discover the subtle relationship between Tan Hanchi and cousin An Ning? 】
【no! Nothing can happen to Cousin An Ning! She and the eldest princess were at the same banquet just now! 】
"Sister! Sister!"
Qiao Jiaojiao pulled Qiao Zhongguo's shirt and spoke hastily.
Zuo Anning lived in Qiao Mansion for a while a few days ago, and it was at that time that Qiao Jiaojiao learned to call her sister.
Qiao Zhongguo was shocked when he heard Qiao Jiaojiao's thoughts.
Now that Jiaojiao had given him a step, he hurried down the slope and pretended to be suddenly enlightened.
"Yes, we originally wanted to pair up Tan Hanchi and An Ning. Now that Tan Hanchi has been tricked, we don't know if there is anything going on with An Ning."
"No matter what, be careful!"
So Qiao Zhongguo said to the secret guard accompanying him: "Fifteen, you don't have to follow me. Go to Madam and ask about An Ning's situation. If An Ning leaves the table, Madam must take the most trusted person to find her!"
When Qiao Jiaojiao heard this, she instantly felt relieved.
[Dad is really careful. If the eldest princess really plotted against cousin An Ning, she would not dare to kill anyone. 】
[And the best way to deal with a boudoir lady is undoubtedly to slander your reputation and tarnish your chastity! 】
[Only by letting Mom or Grandma Liu look for it can we truly feel at ease! 】
Qiao Zhongguo hurried towards the dressing yard, his solemn expression showing a hint of violence.
The eldest princess blatantly plotted against Tan Hanchi in his Qiao Mansion. She didn't take Qiao Zhongguo seriously at all!
If something really bad happened, whether it ruined Tan Hanchi or hurt An Ning, he would definitely not let it go!
————
On the other side, Tan Hanchi felt something was wrong when he stopped.
He also didn't expect that he cared so much about Miss Zuo, and his actions just now were almost instinctive.
Now that I thought about it, no matter what the eldest princess meant by what she said, the top priority was to find Brother Qiao and let him confirm whether Miss Zuo was okay!
"Princess, I don't understand what you are talking about? There is no one else here, and it is especially inappropriate to have private opinions. Princess, please don't come forward again."
"I'm resigning!"
Tan Hanchi's face was solemn, and he walked away with a flick of his sleeves.
The eldest princess had imagined the scene in front of her countless times, but she never expected that she would not be able to keep Tan Hanchi!
Seeing that her plan was about to fail, she immediately picked up the hem of her skirt and chased after him, grabbing Tan Hanchi's hem.
Tan Hanchi froze suddenly, his eyebrows overflowing with intense disbelief.
He never expected that the eldest princess would go to such an extent. This was such a disrespectful behavior. It simply trampled on the royal family's face!
At this moment, if he could no longer guess the eldest princess's intentions, he would no longer be Tan Hanchi.
But he couldn't figure it out. Even if the eldest princess succeeds in her plan today, doesn't she know that she won't be willing to accept it at all, and will even just hate her?
Seeing that she had finally caught up with Tan Hanchi, the eldest princess hurriedly took out a ball from her waistband and swallowed it in her mouth, whispering:
"Tan Xiuzhan, I just want to ask you a question. Are you relying on your father's favor for you to be so rude?"
Tan Hanchi did not turn around. He vaguely smelled a very fragrant aroma, with a hint of sweetness, permeating around him...
