Qiao Yin subconsciously looked at Xie Yuan, but at this moment, Xie Yuan was nowhere to be seen.
Qiao Yin had no choice but to look timidly at Princess Ning Yao's face amidst the envy of everyone.
Jiang Ningyao's face was expressionless, like a flower on a high mountain. She glanced at Qiao Yin indifferently and responded concisely: "I know."
Her voice was as cold as ice, and she didn't sound like a seventeen-year-old girl at all.
Qiao Yin already had an ominous premonition in her heart, and she was extremely uneasy, but she still managed to express her gratitude and continued to express her gratitude.
After the emperor met Qiao Mo's brother and sister, he said a few more words of honor, and when the time came, he gave the order to set off.
Luan Jia went first, and everyone else returned to their own carriages.
On the short walk from the palace gate back to the carriage, Qiao Yin had already played out dozens of episodes of palace fighting in his mind.
"Hey, is it too late for me to pretend to be sick and retreat?"
Qiao Yin collapsed in the carriage with a look of despair.
"Miss, don't be so depressed, isn't there General Xie here?" Bizhu comforted.
If you don't say Xie Yu'an is fine, you'll get angry if you mention it.
Why should she bear the bad fate he caused?
Qiao Yin sighed, leaned against the car window and looked out, only to see Qiao Mo, who was beaming with joy and still immersed in the emperor's award, but Xie Yu'an was nowhere to be seen.
Qiao Yin lowered the curtain and told Bizhu: "When we arrive at the paddock later, go and find out where General Xie lives."
He must be responsible for the love debt he incurred.
The large team arrived at the paddock smoothly as dusk approached.
As soon as the carriage stopped, a palace attendant came to greet him.
"Miss Qiao, I am Xue Yue, the maid next to the princess. I am here to guide Miss Qiao."
A tall and neat girl saluted Qiao.
Qiao Yin was really panicking, but she didn't dare to show it.
"It's time for you, Miss Xue Yue."
Qiao Yin said that the visitor was a blessing.
"Bizhu, please take your time to clean up. I'll go visit Her Royal Highness first."
Qiao Yin gave Bizhu a wink, and then followed the others one step ahead and came to the princess's tent.
Princess Ning Yao was indeed favored. Not only was her tent right next to the emperor's, its size was far superior to that of the crown prince and the third prince beside her.
It is said to be a tent, but it is actually like a small house with many rooms inside.
When Qiao Yin stepped into the camp, Jiang Ningyao had changed out of her palace clothes and was wearing a light long skirt. She was sitting leisurely on a chair drinking tea to relieve her fatigue.
"My daughter has met Her Royal Highness the Princess." Qiao Yin bowed her head and bowed in obedience.
Jiang Ningyao glanced at her with her peripheral vision and waved her hand, "Get up."
Qiao Yin stood up and was searching for something to say to greet her. Jiang Ningyao spoke first: "Are you familiar with the Xie family?"
Is this coming? Is it so direct?
Qiao Yin had cold sweat in her hands and replied vaguely: "We met by chance, and we just met each other not long ago."
"We just met and he was already talking and laughing with you?"
Qiao Yin's heart trembled and she glanced at Jiang Ningyao secretly.
Jiang Ningyao's face was stern, her hands tightly holding the teacup, and the anger in her eyes was undisguised.
Qiao Yin's alarm bell sounded, dead, dead, how to answer this?
No, she is here for a vacation, not for a tribulation.
Qiao Yin was in dire straits when Bizhu's voice came from outside the tent: "Miss, the eldest young master asks you to come over."
Qiao Yinru heard the fairy music and looked at Jiang Ningyao apologetically.
Jiang Ningyao didn't say anything, got up and went to the east compartment.
Qiao Yin was relieved, turned around and ran out of the tent to join Bizhu.
"It's too scary. Princess Ning Yao asked me about my relationship with the Xie family! Have you heard about it? Where is Xie Yu'an?"
Bizhu nodded, pointed to a tent not far away and said, "It's right next to the prince's tent."
People were coming and going in the paddock. Qiao Yin ran through the crowd towards Xie's tent, but missed it.
Xie Yuan and the prince went to inspect the security, and Xie Qingxuan was the only one packing things in the tent.
Today is the first day of hunting. The princes and nobles of Beijing are all in the paddock. Xie Yuan has a heavy responsibility on his shoulders and will not return to camp for a while.
"Xie Yu'an went on inspection, why isn't Xie Ren there?" Qiao Yin looked around and saw no sign of Xie Ren.
"He ran away." Xie Qingxuan's tone was full of contempt, "He ran away at the palace gate."
Qiao Yin was stunned: "Run away?"
What is he running for? She was the one who should run.
"I saw my enemy. That coward Xie Ren got scared and ran away quickly." Xie Qingxuan curled her lips with disgust on her face.
"Enemies? Xie Ren still has enemies?"
"Do you know why he came to the capital? Because he couldn't stay in Huaizhou anymore. When he was in Huaizhou, people came to complain every day, either fighting or fighting. This has caused public outrage in the city. The family wanted to give an explanation, so they had to He kicked it out."
Xie Qingxuan didn't give any face to Xie Ren, so she pulled Qiao Yin and wiped out all the scandalous things he had done.
"His enemies are everywhere, and the biggest one is in this paddock right now!"
"Who is it?" Qiao Yin listened happily.
To be able to scare Xie Ren away, the hatred must be deep and this person must be very powerful.
But the Xie family is so powerful and so close to the royal family, who has the ability to offend Xie Ren?
The more Qiao Yin thought about it, the more curious she became, but Xie Qingxuan was really clever. Seeing her curiosity, she stopped talking.
"Haha, you'll find out when you get married."
"Why did you learn so badly from Xie Ren?" Qiao Yin was exhausted.
Xie Qingxuan chuckled, "Don't be shy, my eldest brother has already written a letter back to Huaizhou, asking my uncle and aunt to come to the capital immediately to meet my daughter-in-law. They must have set off by now."
Qiao Yin was surprised, "When did it happen?"
"It was the night you went to the night market. When you came back, my brother went to the study to write a letter and sent it out immediately overnight."
Xie Qingxuan blinked her fluttering eyes, stared at Qiao Yin and said, "Did you do something that night?"
What did they do that night? That night they ate together and even bit each other's mouths!
Ah, I'm too shy to say it.
But in the end they broke up on bad terms.
They had already quarreled, but he still wanted to write a letter home. What was he thinking?
"We didn't do much, we just walked around and had something to eat."
Qiao Yin's eyes were evasive, while Xie Qingxuan's eyes were as bright as fire.
"Kissed?"
"ah?"
Xie Xiaojiu, why are you so smart!
Qiao Yin's face turned red.
Xie Qingxuan enthusiastically grabbed her, "Okay, you guys are fast. I thought my brother wanted to be polite with you for a few months. You kissed my brother first, right?"
She guessed it again, and Qiao Yin's face was so hot that he could fry an egg.
Xie Qingxuan looked clear: "I knew that was the case."
Qiao Yin didn't feel embarrassed when he thanked Yu'an personally, but now that he was being whipped to death, he felt a sense of social death.
Just as he was about to slip away, there was a sound of fluttering wings at the door, and a chubby white pigeon flew in and landed directly at Xie Qingxuan's hand.
Qiao Yin was surprised: "Is this your pet?"
"This is not mine, it belongs to the prince. I didn't bring mine with me at home."
Xie Qingxuan said, skillfully pulling out a small note from the small copper tube on the pigeon's leg.
It turned out to be a homing pigeon.
The exclusive homing pigeon between the prince and Xie Qingxuan? Is this how they usually play?
It’s really suspicious to have such a good time!
Qiao Yin looked at Xie Qingxuan suspiciously. Xie Qingxuan opened the note and didn't know what was written on the note. She just smiled.
Seeing that it was getting dark outside and Xie Yuan didn't come back, Qiao Yin had no choice but to stand up and say goodbye.
There were torches lit outside, there were some stars in the sky, and the wild wind was cool. Qiao Yin looked in the right direction, lowered her head and walked forward.
Suddenly, several voices floated to my ears.
"Did you see that? Qiao Yin just came out of Xie Yuan's tent."
"She couldn't get any benefit from Lu Jinzhi, and now she shamelessly goes to pester Xie Yu'an. She really embarrasses us women."
"I think she is not only willing to be humble, but also has no self-awareness. With her behavior, even if her father wins a hundred battles, he is still not worthy of Xie Yuan. Who does she think she is, who dares to seduce three people just because she is pretty? Take four.”
"That is, no matter how good her father is, can she still be more valuable than a golden princess? The Xie family doesn't even like the princess, so how can they like her? Haha, let's just wait and see the joke."
Qiao Yin stopped and walked around, only to see a group of people standing not far away, more than a dozen men and women, pointing at her. Seeing her looking over, she showed no restraint and instead burst into laughter.
"Look, she heard me."
"When you hear it, you hear it. Aren't we telling the truth?"
"Hahahaha, yes, yes, we are telling the truth."
Bizhu's blood surged and she was about to step forward to argue, but was pulled back by Qiao Yin.
"Don't go. Dad just won the battle, and the emperor has a new regard for the Qiao family. I don't know how many people are jealous. We must not cause trouble at this time, let alone make excuses under the emperor's eyes." Qiao Yin said very calmly.
"But..." Bizhu was furious.
"There's nothing good to say. What they said is right." Qiao Yin didn't care and instead told Bizhu: "Bizhu, go and tell the elder brother and remind him not to be too public these days."
Bizhu couldn't resist Qiao Yin, so she turned around and ran away to find Qiao Mo.
Qiao Yin continued to walk forward, but after taking a few steps, a figure came out of the darkness and blocked her way.
"Did you hear what they said? It's impossible for you and Xie Yu'an to do this."
