Xiao Si carried Qiao Jiaojiao on his back and took a shortcut to Chunhua Garden, and soon passed Yuhua Lake.
There are also lights and colorful decorations here today, so it’s not dark.
Seeing that the eunuchs behind her were far away, Qiao Jiaojiao asked in a low voice:
"Xiaosi, do you still dare to go here? You are very brave!"
Xiaosi turned his head and glanced at Yuhua Lake, without any fear on his face.
"Sister Qiao, I'm not afraid, I already know how to swim!"
"And as Master said, the more you fear something, the more you have to face it head-on. Let me tell you secretly, I have been to Yuhua Lake alone before and sat by the lake for a long time!"
"So I'm not afraid at all now!"
Qiao Jiaojiao didn't expect that there was such an inside story, so she nodded repeatedly with a "cowardly" expression on her face.
The two little figures walked all the way through Chunhua Garden, and Xiaosi returned to Yikun Palace with ease.
"Queen Mother! I'm bringing Sister Qiao!"
Qiao Jiaojiao quickly got off Xiao Si's back and walked into the main hall. She immediately saw the radiant Queen Mother.
She ran forward and said with a smile: "My dear, you are getting younger and younger as you live!"
The Queen Mother leaned over and hugged Qiao Jiaojiao, her face full of love.
"Jiaojiao, you have such a little mouth, you can give it to Xiaosi from now on."
Qiao Jiaojiao nuzzled into the Empress Dowager's arms, filled with joy.
What she said was not flattery. Her current condition is really much better than when we first met!
At this time, a salute came from outside the door: "See you, Your Majesty, see your Queen."
Qiao Jiaojiao turned her head when she heard the words and saw the former prince brother in dragon robe, tall and handsome, and Sister Xiao in phoenix robe, graceful and luxurious.
Her eyes suddenly lit up.
【Oh My God! This pair is so eye-catching! 】
When Shen Yuanzhan walked up to Qiao Jiaojiao, his face was already full of smiles.
Qiao Jiaojiao hesitated for a long time and shouted: "Your Majesty?"
Shen Yuanzhan was unhappy when he heard this, "Why did Jiaojiao become alienated from my brother so quickly?"
Qiao Jiaojiao scratched her head and looked embarrassed, "I used to call you Brother Prince, but now I can't call you brother."
"Then Jiaojiao will be called Emperor Brother from now on? Is that possible?"
When Shen Yuanzhan heard this, his eyebrows relaxed, he reached out and took Qiao Jiaojiao from the hands of the Queen Mother, and said with a smile: "That's very good. Let's go, brother will carry Jiaojiao to the palace banquet."
Shen Yuanzhan deliberately wanted to arrange a favor for the Qiao family.
During this time, there were constant rumors, saying that Qiao Jiarong was too favored, and he was afraid that he would have different intentions. Either he would frustrate Qiao Zhongguo's spirit, or he would suppress Qiao Tianjing's momentum.
He looked at it and felt very depressed.
These people don't think about doing more for the people, and don't think about the bad intentions of the Northern Kingdom. They only focus on the Qiao family.
No wonder my father is increasingly suspicious of Mr. Qiao. With these people on the side constantly giving eye drops, can Mr. Qiao survive?
They thought he was also going to play the same imperial tricks, but they didn't know that he could sit in this position only with the help of the Qiao family and Master Qiao's righteousness.
There was no need for them to make excuses. Mr. Qiao was worried that it would be difficult for him to do his job, so he had already resigned several times. It was because he was unwilling to let the court lose such a capable minister that he retained him several times.
The emperor's checks and balances are the same, and the monarch and his ministers know each other. He still said the same thing: Don't use the people you doubt, and don't doubt the people you employ!
There will eventually be a battle between the Yong Dynasty and the Northern Kingdom, and the situation in the South is as delicate. He does not want to spend his energy on suspicion and suppressing his officials.
He had made great ambitions in front of Jiaojiao:
He wants to learn from the benevolent emperors of the Ming Dynasty in history, keep his original intention, treat his good ministers well, and lead the Yong Dynasty to a prosperous age!
Therefore, today, he wanted to use this palace banquet to let the whole capital know that he valued the Qiao family, thought highly of the Qiao family, and would never doubt the loyalty of the Qiao family!
And the little daughter of the Qiao family in his arms is a figure who can walk around the capital. From now on, anyone who sees her will give her a thumbs up!
Qiao Jiaojiao vaguely knew the situation of her father and eldest brother in the court, so she pretended to be ignorant and took refuge in Shen Yuanzhan's arms.
"Jiaojiao is very lazy. It was Xiaosi who carried me here just now. Now please ask Brother Emperor to carry me over!"
"But when my parents see her later, they will definitely say that Jiaojiao is ignorant. Brother Emperor must come to Jiaojiao's rescue!"
Shen Yuanzhan's eyebrows arched when he heard this, "With my brother here, your father and mother don't dare to talk about you."
He said, shaking Dian Jiaojiao, and the group walked towards the Huaxianhui Tower.
At this time, the Hua Caixiang Hui Building was already bustling with activity.
Qiao Zhongguo, Han Mingzhe and Xiao Hongda stood together, and eyes drifted towards this side from time to time in the hall.
Xiao Hongda couldn't help but look teasing when he saw this, "Old Qiao, you are really a big tree now. Look at the eyes of those people. They all want to pull you off their horses and step on your face."
"When Erlang really becomes the general of the Jinwu Guard, I'm afraid the accusations against your Qiao family will be all over the Holy Emperor's case."
Han Mingzhe also looked worried when he heard this.
There is no doubt that he is from Qiao Zhongguo's camp. When he is on business these days, his colleagues often exclude him.
Coupled with his already bad reputation, hey, even the water in his position is cold.
Hearing this, Qiao Zhongguo shook his head helplessly, "I want to go home and enjoy the blessings, but the Holy Father won't let me. Last time I almost ended up rolling on the floor of the imperial study room!"
Xiao Hongda: "..."
Wait, I have that picture!
At this time, other ministers gathered together in twos and threes, all staring at Qiao Zhongguo secretly.
They have made a lot of mistakes during this period, all of which are to harm Mr. Qiao. They must dampen his spirit!
They didn't ask for more. They just had to pull Qiao Mangfu out of his position as censor. Otherwise, if they let him continue to roll around in the court and spit when he opened his mouth, who could resist this!
Just wait and see, it is said that there are three things that make a new official take office, let alone a new emperor who ascends the throne?
The Holy One can't ignore the wishes of their courtiers, can he?
At this time, a voice finally came from outside the palace: "The Holy One has arrived! The Queen has arrived! The Queen Mother has arrived!"
Everyone heard the sound and hurried back to their positions, knelt down and saluted respectfully.
Shen Yuanzhan sat down and said calmly: "Everyone, please sit down."
The officials and their families sat down respectfully, and when they looked up expectantly, they suddenly saw the new emperor holding a female doll in his arms.
Courtiers: Huh?
Whose child is that?
Qiao Jiaojiao was a smart person, so she shouted to Qiao Zhongguo and Mrs. Qiao who were sitting down: "Dad, Mom!"
Upon seeing this, Qiao Zhongguo stood up quickly and knelt down in fear to apologize.
"Your Majesty, my little girl is innocent. Please forgive me, Your Majesty."
Courtiers: Huh? ?
Is that female doll Qiao Zhongguo's daughter?
Shen Yuanzhan curled his lips and smiled when he heard this, "Hey, Qiao Aiqing, you are so delicate, innocent and romantic, what crime do you have?"
"Speaking of which, I felt happy when I saw Jiaojiao. I was thinking of making Jiaojiao the county lord, so I gave her the title - Yongle. What do you think, Ai Qing?"
Courtiers: Huh? ? ?
