After the prince and the fourth prince left, everyone chatted for a while. When the auspicious time came, Qiao Jiaojiao's ceremony of catching Zhou began.
She was placed on a round table covered with red cloth, surrounded by various small things.
The rest of the people gathered in a circle, waiting for Qiao Jiaojiao to make her choice with smiles on their faces.
Qiao Jiaojiao looked around, and finally climbed a few steps to the right without hesitation, and then tightly grabbed a safety buckle.
In ancient times, there was no such thing as eating cake and blowing out candles, so the moment Qiao Jiaojiao grabbed the safety buckle, she secretly made a wish in her heart.
[Belief girl Qiao Jiaojiao hereby sincerely makes a wish, wishing that my family would be safe, without disaster or pain, and have a smooth life. 】
[If I am allowed to be a little more greedy, then I hope that all good people in the world will be rewarded with good deeds and live a safe life. 】
After the Qiao family heard Qiao Jiaojiao's voice, their hearts suddenly felt soft and sour.
Their Jiaojiao is really kind. She is the most precious treasure given to the Qiao family by God.
At this moment, the Qiao family members gathered around Qiao Jiaojiao and sincerely made the same wish:
If they can, they are willing to take all the blessings to exchange for Jiaojiao to be happy, healthy and worry-free every year.
————
While Qiao Jiaojiao was focusing on eating and drinking to grow taller, the time quickly came to the end of the twelfth lunar month.
The capital seems calm on the surface, but in fact it is already turbulent inside.
The fourth day of March next year will be the Christmas of Emperor Yong's 35th birthday. The last big event was in the year when Emperor Yong was established.
Next year’s Wanshou Festival will be especially special.
Because in addition to the envoy from the South Kingdom who had promised to come, yesterday, the North Kingdom also sent a message saying that it would send a mission to congratulate Emperor Yong on Christmas.
When Qiao Jiaojiao learned the news, she was playing with a red hydrangea covered with bells.
It was the fourth prince's new gadget, and he brought it to Qiao Jiaojiao without stopping.
[Is the Northern Kingdom also sending a mission? 】
When Qiao Jiaojiao heard this, she raised her head in astonishment.
Qiao Zhongguo specifically mentioned it in front of Qiao Jiaojiao, just because he wanted to hear his opinions on his precious baby.
Qiao Jiaojiao couldn't help but be a little shocked.
[If I remember correctly, the Northern Kingdom did send a mission to the Yong Dynasty, but it should have been several years later. 】
[At that time, the game between the crown prince and the second prince had been brought to light. There was a serious flood in Yuzhou, and the second prince took the opportunity to give the prince a heavy blow. 】
[But the prince was not to be outdone and tried his best to drag the second prince into the water. 】
[That time was probably the second prince’s biggest setback in his smooth road to the heir apparent. 】
[It was at that time that he broke through the bottom line in his heart and contacted Beiguo, who had always wanted to help him, and asked them to send a team of envoys. 】
[This mission is apparently here to act as a monster, but in fact it is here to save the male protagonist from the siege! 】
[Could it be that the second prince suffered setbacks due to our Qiao family’s previous interference, so he used this method in advance? 】
Qiao Jiaojiao scratched her head worriedly and jingled the red hydrangea in her hand.
[When Emperor Yong celebrated his Longevity Festival, he really attracted all kinds of ghosts and monsters! 】
[I can’t even imagine how chaotic it will be on Longevity Day. I guess there will be 10,000 people flying around in the sky! 】
Qiao Tianjing was sitting opposite Qiao Zhongguo, with a solemn look on his face.
"Dad, this Northern Kingdom envoy arrived at a strange time. It seems that the Second Prince may have already connected with the Northern Kingdom."
Qiao Diyi frowned slightly when he heard this.
He has learned a lot from Duke Dingguo these days, and now he is willing to use his brain. When he encounters something he doesn't understand, he just asks him directly.
"The second prince has only been banned by the Holy One for one year. When the Dragon Boat Festival comes next year, the Holy One will naturally release him."
"Why is he so anxious that he takes the risk of contacting the Northern Kingdom and asking them to send a team of envoys?"
"Does the Wanshou Festival have any special meaning to him? Or is it that he wants to use the Wanshou Festival to do something?"
When Qiao Jiaojiao heard this, her eyelids suddenly jumped.
The original work is a Mary Sue novel. This longevity banquet is completely prepared for the heroine. It not only makes her stunning, but also captures the heart of the second male lead.
As for the male protagonist, he was purely a flower protector at this banquet.
But the previous plot has long been nonsense. The second prince has no love in his heart. He simply treats women like dirt!
[Does he want to deal with the prince? 】
[No, he has lost so many trump cards. If he shows his wild ambition now, it will be tantamount to self-destruction. 】
[Could it be that he wanted to show some filial piety on the Longevity Festival and reshape the image of a good son in Emperor Yong's heart? 】
[But he stayed in the clan’s mansion obediently and did nothing. Isn’t he the most obedient? 】
[Given Emperor Yong's obsession with Yu Liu, seeing how honest he is, he will naturally regain his favor after one year. 】
Thinking of this, Qiao Jiaojiao shook her head.
[These reasons are untenable. The male protagonist is so smart. It is impossible not to know that contacting the North Country is a dangerous and dangerous road. There is no turning back. 】
[Once you are caught, you are collaborating with the enemy and treason. Even Emperor Yong can't even think of saving him! 】
[So, why does the male protagonist put so much effort into it...]
While Qiao Jiaojiao was thinking, she looked around unconsciously. When she passed by her father, she suddenly froze.
【etc......】
"father......"
Qiao Jiaojiao murmured.
The next moment, everyone in the room became horrified, including Qiao Jiaojiao herself!
If you mention Beiguo, the first thing that everyone thinks of must be the name "Qiao Zhongguo".
The North regards Qiao Zhongguo as its mortal enemy!
If they had the chance, they would naturally want to kill Qiao Zhongguo!
[He knows...the male protagonist must know! 】
When her thoughts reached this point, Qiao Jiaojiao couldn't help but feel her scalp numb and her breathing became rapid.
[He contacted the Northern Kingdom and summoned the Northern Kingdom envoy, not to target the prince, nor to please Emperor Yong, but to deal with Dad! 】
[He is so smart, he must have realized that all his previous failures have more or less the shadow of our Qiao family! 】
[Perhaps this time the eldest princess plots against Tan Hanchi in the Qiao Mansion, and his advice is indispensable! He is testing us with Princess Princess's life and future! 】
[And we undoubtedly crushed the eldest princess’s conspiracy once again, which made him more certain of his suspicions! 】
At this point, even Qiao Jiaojiao couldn't help but feel a little creepy.
[I have always known that he is very powerful, and I never expected that our Qiao family could always hide behind the scenes. 】
[But I didn’t expect that he would notice the clues so quickly and react quickly, and I didn’t expect that he would not even care about the life or death of the eldest princess. 】
[This man... is so ruthless! 】
