September 15th is Jiaojiao’s second birthday.
She has only been in this world for two years, but she seems to have done a lot.
Everyone in the capital caught wind of the news and sent birthday gifts early that day.
After all, he is the Lord of Yongle County who has been personally consecrated by the Holy Emperor, so he still has to have this reputation.
Xiaosi was still the first one to arrive among all the guests. Jiaojiao had just been dug out of the bed by Mrs. Qiao, and he was already waiting aside with a smile.
"Sister Qiao, your birthday gift!"
Qiao Jiaojiao was sleepy. She glanced at the sound and was almost blinded by the light.
What a beautiful string of Dongzhu!
"Sister Qiao, this is something from Xiaosi's private treasury. The brightest one is for Sister Qiao!"
Xiaosi raised her face and her bright eyes seemed to say: Sister Qiao, please praise me!
"Thank you, Xiaosi, it's so beautiful! I like it so much! I'm going to wear it today!"
Qiao Jiaojiao laughed out loud and stretched out her hand towards Xiao Si.
Xiao Si immediately wrapped the string of Dongzhu carefully around her delicate little hand, and both of them smiled into squinting eyes.
When Mrs. Qiao saw this, she shook her head with a smile, combed Jiaojiao's hair herself, and let them go to play.
Jiaojiao's second birthday was not planned to be a grand event, so the whole family could just sit down and have a meal together.
However, the Holy Emperor told the Queen a few days ago that she was coming, so she had to make preparations carefully.
When it was time for dinner, the Xiao family, Duke Yan, Tan Hanchi and Zuo Anning all came. Everyone was chatting and laughing in the hall, and soon Shen Yuanzhan and Xiao Qianlan also came incognito.
"Brother Emperor! Sister Xiao!"
Qiao Jiaojiao jumped out to greet her and was picked up by Shen Yuanzhan.
Before he opened his mouth to speak, Jiaojiao had already covered his mouth with her hand.
"Brother Emperor, we have agreed today that you are not allowed to mention Jiaojiao peeing her pants!"
If other people saw this scene, their jaws would drop in shock, but Jiaojiao still "goes her own way" and is very comfortable.
She had long discovered that what the emperor's brother wanted was this kind of casualness and closeness, especially to her and Xiaosi.
Sure enough, Shen Yuanzhan was not angry at Qiao Jiaojiao's "unbridled" behavior, but his eyes were full of smiles.
"Brother had forgotten it a long time ago. Jiaojiao brought it up again. I think back then——"
"Ahhh! I won't listen, I won't listen!"
Qiao Jiaojiao hurriedly covered her ears, and then thrust herself onto Xiao Qianlan again!
"Sister Xiao! I want Sister Xiao to hug me!"
Shen Yuanzhan couldn't help but laugh when he saw Qiao Jiaojiao looking like this.
"Jiaojiao, your sister Xiao can't hug you now. Come on, it's my brother who will hug you!"
When Qiao Jiaojiao heard this, her eyes lit up.
【ah! Could it be that Sister Xiao is pregnant? Is it the little emperor's grandson in the original work? great! 】
[The Queen Mother must be very happy to hear that, it’s so perfect! 】
When Shen Yuanzhan saw that Qiao Jiaojiao had guessed it, he couldn't help but scratch her little nose with his fingers.
"Little clever devil."
At this time, everyone came forward to salute, and Shen Yuanzhan smiled and waved his hands.
"Today is Jiaojiao's birthday. You don't need to be reserved in front of me. Just treat it like a normal family dinner."
Everyone was sitting together, with smiles on their faces. It was really a rare good scene.
As Qiao Jiaojiao ate the delicious food in front of her, her heart was filled to the brim, and she even felt like tears filled her eyes.
She is truly honored to be loved by everyone.
But what everyone was thinking was that it was great for Jiaojiao to appear in their lives.
————
Time passed smoothly amidst Jiaojiao's laughter and laughter, and soon it was mid-January of the next year. It was snowing heavily in the capital and Hanna Yaxian was about to give birth.
Mrs. Qiao and Qiao Jiaojiao have been watching Hanya Xian with their eyes wide open all day long, and even Qiao Tianjing has begun to lose consciousness.
Mrs. Qiao had long stopped letting Hanya Xian come and go to say hello. On the contrary, she and Qiao Jiaojiao went to Qingzhu Courtyard to sit with Hanya Xian and chat from time to time.
On January 17, the snow that had been falling for five consecutive days finally stopped. Mrs. Qiao took Han Yaxian for a walk in the yard, and said earnestly:
"Xian'er, you should walk more. The more you walk, the better."
"This is your first child, so I'm afraid you'll have to endure a lot of hardships. Don't be afraid. Mom will always be with you."
Hanya Xian was actually still scared, but everyone was so kind to her. She couldn't bear to make her family worry, so she pretended to be relaxed and nodded.
"As long as my mother is here, Xian'er won't be afraid."
Mrs. Qiao patted Hanya Xian's hand distressedly, and after seeing that she had been gone for a while, she took Hanya Xian back to rest.
After taking a few steps, Hanya's expression suddenly changed, and she turned pale as she held her waist.
Mrs. Qiao was startled when she heard Hanya Xian's trembling voice say: "Mom, it's broken! It's broken!"
Mrs. Qiao looked down and saw that Hanyaxian's trouser legs were wet!
She quickly took a deep breath, without panicking, and shouted loudly: "Mother Liu! Xian'er is about to give birth, hurry! Get ready!"
Seeing Mrs. Qiao's calmness, Hanya Xian felt as if she had found her backbone, and she gradually gained confidence in her heart.
At this time, Qiao Zhongguo, Tian Jingdiyi and Jiaojiao were all discussing matters in the study.
Ever since Qiao Zhongguo wrote to Meng Guxue last year to ask about the soul-drawing Gu, the two parties had inexplicably developed some tacit understanding, and the correspondence has never stopped.
Relying on this, the Qiao family learned a lot about Shen Yuanbai's current situation from Meng Guxue.
The battle for the crown prince in Nanli Kingdom has also reached a stage of raging. With the help of Shen Yuanbai, the eldest prince has actually restored a lot of reputation during this period.
The second prince is now targeting the third prince more and more, and it is quite difficult for the third prince to fight against his two brothers.
Qiao Zhongguo was about to open today's letter when his servant suddenly came in a hurry to report:
"Master! Young Master! Miss! Young Madam... Young Madam is about to give birth!"
Wow——
Several people in the study stood up suddenly, and Qiao Tianjing ran out like a gust of wind.
Qiao Jiaojiao quickly grabbed Qiao Zhongguo and said quickly: "Dad! Let's go to Qingzhuyuan quickly!"
When we arrived at Qingzhuyuan, everything had been arranged in an orderly manner by Mrs. Qiao.
Po Wen had been staying at the house a few days ago, and now she had started cooking water, getting mats, and preparing coats.
Qiao Tianjing was standing in the courtyard, pacing back and forth nervously. Qiao Jiaojiao also clenched her palms and kept chanting "Amitabha, God bless you."
The pregnancy hurt Hanya for a long time, and it was not until late at night that a loud cry came from the house.
Qiao Jiaojiao's eyes suddenly lit up when she heard the sound, and soon she saw Aunt Liu coming out to announce the good news in person.
"Congratulations, sir, congratulations to the eldest young master, the young lady, mother and son are safe!"
When Qiao Jiaojiao heard this, she burst into tears of joy.
God bless, everything goes well!
She has really become a little aunt!
At the end of Xu Shi on January 17, the first year of Ding'an, Qiao Tianjing was delighted to have Lin'er.
Naming the child caused a little "division" in the family.
Because Qiao Zhongguo named his child "Zi Qiang", the whole family thought it was...a bit rustic.
Qiao Zhongguo became sulky because of this, until Shen Yuanzhan heard the good news and named him Qiao Mingpei himself.
On the surface, Qiao Zhongguo happily thanked the Lord for his kindness, but he still couldn't help but murmur to his wife in bed at night:
"Madam, my husband feels that self-improvement is not as good as self-improvement!"
Mrs. Qiao: "..."
At the beginning, it was "just and right" and I never tried to defeat my husband. Thank God the Holy One took action.
Mingpei.
Well, she is very satisfied as a grandmother!
