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 Xiaotao 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.
