Xiao Hongda's courage and love for justice far exceeded the imagination of Qiao Tianjing and Qiao Jiaojiao. This visit to Dingguo Duke's Mansion can be said to be extremely smooth.
Now that everything is said and done, we can start the precise layout!
"Uncle Xiao, that portrait——"
Qiao Tianjing only opened his mouth, and Xiao Hongda took over naturally.
"Let's just go with the flow, otherwise I have no reason to enter the palace that day."
【hiss--】
Qiao Jiaojiao's eyes widened.
My scalp is numb again!
It's so easy to talk to smart people! Open your mouth and he can see the words coming out of your throat!
[Now that everything has been sent from the head, even if Uncle Zhou doesn’t stuff the portrait into Duke Dingguo’s mansion, we have to come out on time, hehe...]
Xiao Hongda thought for a moment and then said: "Da Lang, we need to clear this matter up with His Highness and the Queen. Only then can we all work together to achieve a final conclusion!"
Qiao Tianjing nodded happily, "It turned out that I reported it to His Highness after I got Uncle Xiao's approval."
The two discussed some more details, and Qiao Tianjing stood up and left.
Before leaving the house, Qiao Tianjing thought for a moment, then pulled Qiao Jiaojiao and kneeled solemnly to Xiao Hongda.
"Uncle Xiao, please don't refuse. Please accept Da Lang and Jiao Jiao to pay their respects."
Xiao Hongda was willing to come forward, so he took the biggest risk. Even in the imperial study room, he had to be the first person to stand up!
Once it fails, it will be irreversible, and even the reputation in this life will be stained.
Xiao Hongda's lack of hesitation made Qiao Tianjing feel apologetic.
Xiao Hongda couldn't help but feel soft when he saw Qiao Tianjing kowtowing to him upright, and even Qiao Jiaojiao was kneeling in a decent manner.
"You don't have to be like this, Da Lang. The Xiao family and His Royal Highness have already advanced and retreated together. Uncle Xiao will stand out for his own sake."
"On the contrary, your Qiao family has worked hard in every possible way. If it succeeds, this first-class honor will fall on Uncle Xiao."
"Don't you think it's a pity, Dalang?"
Qiao Tianjing looked calm and shook his head.
"Uncle Xiao, Dalang is not doing these things so that the Qiao family can get ahead and become famous."
"Da Lang uses the tactics of a counselor. When necessary, he will not refuse any conspiracy. However, Da Lang always keeps in mind the loyalty taught by his little father."
"If these plans can help the Yong Dynasty get a wise king, allow the people to live in peace, and allow my father's ambition to be rewarded, the prince will not be obsessed with power and position, and will not be greedy for credit. As long as the family is safe, it will be enough."
"Thank you very much, Uncle Xiao, for what Dalang has said. Uncle Xiao is so righteous, and Dalang is in awe of him."
Xiao Hongda couldn't help but be moved when he heard this.
It wasn't until Qiao Tianjing hugged Qiao Jiaojiao and left that Xiao Hongda took a breath of air!
That reckless old man, Lao Qiao, is really smoking from his ancestral grave, and he actually gave birth to such a good son!
Dalang is a boy who is surprisingly upright, he is really like a dragon or a phoenix among men!
Ahhhh!
He was so jealous that he was beyond recognition!
Erlang!
After Erlang came back, he taught him hard, and after he was done, he took him home and became his son-in-law!
With half a son-in-law and Erlang together with that tomboy Qianyue, wouldn’t he be able to make a good son?
When the time comes, the young couple will be dragged out to the battlefield to kill the enemy. Thinking about it, he will be so proud!
OK OK!
Ok, deal!
————
Time passed by quickly due to the busy work of several people.
Two days later, Xiao Hongda sent news to Qiao Tianjing that Uncle Zhou had "succeeded"!
He "extremely accidentally" made a mistake, and Uncle Zhou immediately saw the opportunity and stuffed the portrait into a box.
The box was "specially" marked and will be delivered to the East Palace in the next two days.
Xiao Hongda even thoughtfully made a drawing and asked Qiao Tianjing to copy more of it.
Qiao Tianjing didn't expect that there was a portrait in the envelope, so he opened it in front of Qiao Jiaojiao.
Qiao Jiaojiao:! ! !
【ah! Yu Liu! It’s really beautiful! 】
[Back then, everyone said that Yu Zhaoyi looked like Yu Liu, but now when I look at it, it turns out there is still a difference! 】
[The person who looks most like Yu Liu in the world is indeed the second prince! 】
Qiao Tianjing was so frightened that he crumpled the portrait into a ball and held it in his hands!
It’s over, my little girl’s eyes are dirty!
Qiao Jiaojiao couldn't help but feel a little funny when she saw Qiao Tianjing's nervous look.
[The ancients were conservative after all. In fact, this painting is not explicit. 】
[However, it’s hard to imagine what Uncle Zhou’s mood was like when he asked people to draw these portraits. Tsk tsk, such a despicable method would probably disgust them first! 】
Seeing that Qiao Jiaojiao didn't pay too much attention, Qiao Tianjing immediately breathed a sigh of relief.
He wants people to drive the portrait out immediately. If the second prince still wants to use this to slander the prince, let him humiliate himself!
————
Two days later, the time came to May 12th, and there were only three days left before the prince's wedding.
And today, Qiao Zhongguo finally took the second prince to the last station outside the capital!
This time Qiao Zhongguo escorted the second prince back to Beijing. He would not return home for a while, but would go directly to the palace to resume his duties.
Therefore, the group should take a short rest at the inn, change their clothes, tidy up their appearance, and prepare to meet the Holy Spirit!
Qiao Tianjing got the news and was waiting here with Qiao Jiaojiao early.
Qiao Jiaojiao couldn't hide her excitement and was looking forward to it all the time.
After waiting for more than an hour, I finally saw a motorcade speeding towards us from a distance. The leader was so tired but still couldn't conceal his majestic and handsome appearance!
Qiao Jiaojiao's eyes turned red and she wanted to shout out, but her throat was extremely sore.
She arched forward, and Qiao Tian carefully put her down. Qiao Jiaojiao couldn't help but take a step forward and ran towards the convoy.
"Daddy!"
"Second brother!"
The childish voice was buried under the sound of horse hooves, but Qiao Zhongguo had already seen his little heart!
It’s Jiaojiao!
At this moment, all the people on the road who were returning home were comforted and released. Even a fierce man like Qiao Zhongguo couldn't help but have red eyes!
With a kick of his feet, he flew down from the horse, strode forward to meet her, picked up Qiao Jiaojiao, and held her high above his head!
Qiao Jiaojiao almost flew!
Her eyebrows were crooked but her words were choked with sobs, and she exclaimed happily:
"Daddy! Daddy is back!"
Qiao Zhongguo's heart softened, and he immediately held Qiao Jiaojiao in his arms, his heart screaming non-stop.
Qiao Diyi came from behind. He was darker and thinner, but his cheerful smile did not change at all!
Qiao Jiaojiao immediately shouted: "Second brother! Jiaojiao misses you so much!"
Qiao Diyi opened his arms to welcome him, and embraced Qiao Jiaojiao in Qiao Zhongguo's arms.
"Little sister, second brother misses you so much!"
Qiao Tianjing didn't step forward, but when he saw the three of them hugging each other, he couldn't help but have wet eyes and a gentle face.
At this time, the motorcade approached. The second prince opened the curtain and stepped out of the carriage, his eyes fixed on Qiao Tianjing.
Qiao Tianjing felt something, raised his head, looked at the second prince, and immediately bowed respectfully.
The second prince walked up to Qiao Tianjing, his voice was deep, but there was an unknown smile on his face.
"Dalang, I haven't seen you for a long time. Zhufeng... I appreciate your care."
Qiao Tianjing was not frightened at all, he smiled and shook his head.
"Your Highness, a humble minister is just doing his job at all times."
"Da Lang is here to welcome His Highness back to the capital."
The stage is set up, the actors are all present, and finally - it's time to start!
