[Tsk tsk tsk, they are in the same frame. 】
As soon as Qiao Jiaojiao said this, all three of the Qiao family's father and son were immediately attracted to her.
The auspicious time to set off was coming soon. Qiao Jiaojiao saw the prince cupping his hands towards Baili Chengyou and patting the second prince on the shoulder.
"Okay, it's almost time to leave, boss. I'll leave everything at home to you."
Qiao Zhongguo looked at Qiao Tianjing and said seriously.
Qiao Tianjing hugged Qiao Jiaojiao and nodded solemnly, "Dad, my son has remembered everything."
Qiao Jiaojiao watched her father and second brother walk down the hillside to the prince's side, and then the two groups separated...
Qiao Jiaojiao was watching intently when she suddenly let out a light sigh.
[Isn’t that Zhufeng going with the second prince? 】
When Qiao Tianjing heard this, he turned around and looked over, only to see that the guard Zhufeng who had been protecting the second prince was actually standing in the send-off procession!
[Strange, I remember that Zhufeng was the most capable subordinate around the second prince, but he was not allowed to participate in such an important trip to Nanli Country? 】
[Or does the second prince have more important tasks assigned to him? But what is more important than Meng Guxue now? 】
Qiao Jiaojiao was puzzled, but she did not dare to ignore any strangeness around the second prince, and immediately fell into deep thought.
[As for the next big event in Beijing, it is nothing more than the prince’s wedding in May. 】
[Dad and the others probably haven’t turned around at that time. Could it be that the second prince specially retained someone to cause trouble at the prince’s wedding? 】
Qiao Tianjing also immediately thought of the prince's wedding.
However, because Han Yaxian was almost poisoned at the Wanshou Palace banquet some time ago, he was more cautious than Qiao Jiaojiao.
Since the second prince had already guessed what the Qiao family had done in the past year, and he also had the idea of poisoning Xian'er.
If the plan at the Longevity Banquet fails, the second prince will most likely change his target to him, his mother, or even... Jiaojiao!
My father and second brother are very skilled in martial arts, and they happened to be away. Didn't this leave a huge loophole for the second prince?
Thinking of this, Qiao Tianjing couldn't help being shocked!
He looked out in the distance and saw that his father and second brother had already mounted their horses.
Thinking of his father's worried and earnest instructions last night, Qiao Tianjing quickly hugged Qiao Jiaojiao in his arms and whispered:
"Little sister, while dad is not at home, don't go out casually. If you have to go out, be sure to call your brother, okay?"
Qiao Jiaojiao was slightly startled when she heard this.
Ever since she confessed her specialness to her family that day, not only did everyone's love for her not diminish at all, but everything that followed was openly discussed in front of her.
Just like now, even to protect her, the eldest brother is solemnly seeking her opinion and consent.
In this case, Jiaojiao did not pretend to be stupid and asked directly: "Brother, what's wrong?"
Qiao Tianjing glanced at Zhufeng with a solemn expression and whispered: "Little sister, big brother is worried that someone will do something bad to you."
Qiao Jiaojiao was slightly startled when she heard this, and the smile on her face disappeared in an instant.
[Why didn’t I think that the second prince might be planning to attack our Qiao family if he left Zhu Feng behind! 】
[Sometimes I really rely too much on the original work. I said I died young at the age of three. Now many things have changed. Who knows that my death date will not be earlier? 】
Thinking of this, Qiao Jiaojiao also trembled.
There are her parents, brother and sister-in-law in this world, and she can't bear to die!
"Okay, Jiaojiao, listen to big brother."
Qiao Jiaojiao immediately nodded obediently, but she couldn't help but mutter in her heart:
[I have heard that someone can commit a thief in a thousand days, but there is no way he can guard against a thief in a thousand days. It’s not a problem to be on guard all day long if you are on guard during the day or night! 】
Qiao Jiaojiao's words spoke to Qiao Tianjing's heart. How could he allow such a huge hidden danger to hide in the dark?
Seeing that the marriage convoy had already left, Qiao Tianjing carried Qiao Jiaojiao towards the city gate and whispered:
"Don't be afraid, little sister. Brother will find a way to test Zhufeng's purpose in staying in Beijing."
When Qiao Jiaojiao heard this, she immediately looked up at her eldest brother, her eyes sparkling!
[As soon as the big brother takes action, he will know if there is any! Big brother will punish Zhufeng to death and give me the freedom to go out! 】
"Brother is awesome!"
Qiao Jiaojiao praised with a smile on her face.
Qiao Tianjing looked at Qiao Jiaojiao's cute little face and saw that the words she spoke were soft and cute, but her heart turned out to be so fierce, and she couldn't help but chuckle to herself.
————
Half a month passed by in a flash, but to Qiao Jiaojiao, it was extremely long.
Ever since Qiao Zhongguo and Qiao Diyi left home, there were two loud voices missing from Qiao's house, and it suddenly felt a lot cooler.
Fortunately, the fourth prince still came to Qiao's residence every other day to play tricks with Qiao Jiaojiao. Sister Qiao was longer than sister Qiao all day long, and Qiao Jiaojiao felt that life was going faster at least.
Today it was the fourth prince's turn to learn lessons from Tan Hanchi again, so he stopped coming.
Qiao Jiaojiao was bored and squatted in the yard and counted ants.
Mrs. Qiao rarely had time to write two words, but she heard the laziness of a milk baby coming from the yard.
[An ant, you are always boring. 】
[Two ants, are you lonely? 】
[Three ants, you are not boring. 】
Mrs. Qiao: "..."
Jiaojiao is a lively person, and keeping her at home is really going to stifle her.
At this time, Nanny Liu hurriedly came in from outside. She didn't even see Qiao Jiaojiao squatting in the corner, and went straight into the house to look for Mrs. Qiao.
"Ma'am, great news!"
Mrs. Qiao raised her head from the case and asked warmly: "Mother Liu, what's the good news?"
Aunt Liu put an envelope on the case and said with a smile:
"Madam, the expansion of the almshouse has been completed. Mother Rong specially sent someone to announce the good news. She also sent a letter like this, saying that it was written one by one by the children in the almshouse!"
"oh?"
Upon hearing this, Mrs. Qiao immediately relaxed her eyebrows.
"Mommy, bring Jiaojiao in quickly and let her read everyone's letters together."
Aunt Liu looked confused when she heard this, "Ah? Is the lady outside?"
Why didn't you see her when she came in just now?
"What? Jiaojiao wants to see it!"
Qiao Jiaojiao just heard Nanny Liu's voice announcing the good news and hurriedly followed her.
Seeing this, Mrs. Qiao stepped forward and hugged Qiao Jiaojiao, and said with a smile: "The expansion of the almshouse has been completed, and those children sent letters."
Qiao Jiaojiao was really happy when she heard this, "That's great! Mother, read the letter!"
Mrs. Qiao took the letter from Nanny Liu and opened it carefully, only to find a few pieces of paper stacked in one place.
Unfold them one by one, and each piece of paper is full.
Qiao Jiaojiao took a closer look and saw that the names were written by everyone. Some of the handwriting was still very immature and crooked, but some were already written in a decent way.
The last piece of paper was the most special because the words on it were so beautiful that even Mrs. Qiao couldn't help but praise it.
"Hey, who wrote this? It's really good calligraphy!"
Aunt Liu stepped forward to take a look, and immediately explained with a smile: "It should have been written by the female gentleman in the almshouse."
"Female sir?"
Mrs. Qiao and Qiao Jiaojiao tilted their heads at the same time, looking confused.
