In the next few days, Qiao Qiu was always paying attention to Qiao Dong's movements.

As she expected, on the third day, Zhao Yucheng couldn't bear the lovesickness and sneaked into the mansion to meet Qiao Dong. It's just that Qiao Dong is bent on revenge, even if her heart is like a knife, she also persuades Zhao Yucheng not to come in again.

Zhao Yucheng is an infatuated person, she made a choice, and he still has to stay by her side. Qiao Dong still had feelings for Zhao Yucheng, but as soon as the other party was infatuated, she fell apart and struggled on the edge of pain that was difficult to choose.

It dragged on until the night before the draft.

In the imperial study of the palace, the lights are brilliant, illuminating every corner brightly. In front of the table stood a young emperor in a bright yellow dragon robe, holding an image of a show girl in his hand, his brows furrowed. After a while, he threw it away in anger, and the portrait was thrown on the table, and the eunuchs fell to their knees in fright.

The emperor walked to the window, opened the window to breathe, and looked up at the bright moon in the sky, the moonlight reflected his graceful and handsome appearance, and the charming peach blossom eyes seemed to be covered with fog, making people unable to see through the expression inside.

In previous years, when he didn't have great power, he was afraid of the Queen Mother, and he never touched the woman sent by the Queen Mother. And now that he is finally in power, it is when he enjoys the beauties, but he looks down on these beauties.

The Emperor sighed, "All out." ”

"Yes." The leading eunuch stood up and withdrew with all the eunuchs and palace maids.

The Emperor stood at the window and watched for a moment, then turned and sat down in front of the chair.

At this moment, a dark figure flashed in from the window, knelt respectfully in front of the emperor, holding a booklet in both hands and holding it above his head.

The emperor picked up the booklet and flipped through it twice, and asked lightly, "Have you finished collecting?" ”

"Back to the emperor, this booklet is the information of the show girls of the officials above the third grade, and the rest are still on the way to be delivered."

Almost all of the daughters of the officials above the third rank are in Shengjing, and the rest are all from other places, and he only ordered to collect them yesterday, and it is really too late today.

The emperor knew this, and did not embarrass the secret guard, waved his hand, and let him retreat.

The emperor was the only one left in the imperial study, and when he turned the first page, he couldn't help frowning, and the words 'Qiao Qiu, the beautiful girl of the Prime Minister's Mansion', were written on it.

Qiao Qiu's 'reputation' resounded throughout Shengjing, he had heard of it, originally he didn't believe these rumors, but now even the idioms used in the information sent by the secret guard are 'rude and willful', 'tricky and mean', 'flamboyant and domineering' and so on. Prime Minister Qiao is wise and resourceful, how could he raise such a daughter?

The emperor frowned and shook his head, turned to the next page, and saw the words 'gentle and demure' and 'national color and heavenly fragrance', his brows stretched, and he nodded with satisfaction.

But after nodding, he pondered again. Prime Minister Qiao's two daughters have completely different personalities, why would Prime Minister Qiao Cheng like the brutal and willful Qiao Qiu instead of the gentle and beautiful Qiao Dong?

Prime Minister Qiao is not only resourceful, but also upright, how could he take care of one or the other just because Qiao Dong was born to a concubine?

Why is that? The emperor couldn't figure it out, and was a little sorry, if only Prime Minister Qiao Cheng loved Qiao Dong, wouldn't everyone be happy to choose Qiao Dong at that time?

He is the king of a country, and he has endless political affairs to deal with every day, how can he have the energy to deal with such a woman?

As soon as the emperor thought of having to take Qiao Qiu as his concubine, he had a headache.

At this time, outside the Imperial City, inside the Prime Minister's Mansion, the people of the entire mansion were busy with the two young ladies.

Qiao Qiu sat in front of the dressing mirror, listening to the Prime Minister's wife nagging about things in the palace, Qiao Cheng Prime Minister Qiao Liu did not shy away from suspicion, and kept instructing her until late at night, the three of them let her go and left her Yuhuaxuan.

There were only two masters and servants left in the room, and Honglan couldn't help but chuckle when she saw her sleepy appearance.

Seeing her smile, Qiao Qiu tilted her head and smiled slightly, her dark eyes were smart and cute.

Her smile couldn't tell what it meant, Honglan's heart was a little cramped, so she immediately stopped laughing, and stepped forward and said: "Master, the slave and maid will wait for you to go to bed, tomorrow will get up very early, and the master will not be able to bear it then." ”

The words of concern came from the heart, Qiao Qiu could hear it, and she said lazily: "Don't worry, Honglan, in the future, you will call yourself Honglan in front of me, what kind of slave and slave, I can't get used to it." ”

"Yes, master, slave...... Honglan got it. ”

Qiao Qiu looked up and down carefully, Honglan really couldn't find a mistake, she dealt with it properly, spoke confidently, and looked decent, "Mama Zhuang taught well, like a big girl." ”

"Thank you, master." Hong Lan smiled happily, she could get the approval of her master, everything she did was worth it.

Qiao Qiufu smiled, squinted his eyes and turned his head to look out the window in a certain direction, and muttered: "It should be very lively tonight, am I going to sleep or going to try my luck, and there is no drama to watch?" ”

Honglan didn't hear clearly, and asked, "Master, what did you say?" ”

Qiao Qiu came back to her senses, her eyes rolled, it seemed that since she sent her to Mama Zhuang last time, she no longer called her Third Miss, but Master? Forget it, it's okay to do this, you don't have to change it in the palace.

"Sleep."

"Oh."

No matter how lively the play is, she still has to keep her spirits up and cope with tomorrow's draft.

Hanmei Garden, where Qiao Dong lives, is not so lively here compared to Qiao Qiu's side, it is extremely deserted, Aunt Liu only cares about her for a few words, and the rest is all about how to please the emperor.

Qiao Dong was annoyed, but he could only listen patiently, and finally when the third watch was over, Aunt Liu got up and went back.

Before she could breathe a sigh of relief, Jade Fang suddenly snorted and fell to the ground. Immediately after she was hugged into a warm embrace, a faint agarwood fragrance hit her nose, and her restless heart quieted down at this moment.

"Dong'er."

Qiao Dong was obsessed with this embrace for a while, Zhao Yucheng's voice was magnetic and gentle, with a full tenderness, she was almost forgetful.

"Mu Yan."

Nephrite is warm and fragrant, but Zhao Yucheng's eyebrows reveal a touch of sadness, "Dong'er, don't go to the draft, okay?" ”

Qiao Dong suddenly came to his senses when he heard this, pushed him away, turned to the side, bit his lower lip with grief, and said, "It's not good, I must go." ”

Zhao Yucheng looked at her back and sighed, "I'm sorry, I know your choice, but I still can't help it, Dong'er, it's not that simple in the palace, you must be careful, if there is anything that can't be solved, just come to me." ”

Qiao Dong's tears rolled down like jade beads, and he also said this sentence in his previous life, word for word.

Zhao Yucheng saw that she didn't speak, nor did she look back, and a trace of strong hatred crossed her eyes, why is he not the emperor? Why is the emperor Zhao Yuce? What is his ability, just because he was born to the queen, just because he is a month older than him? Now even the woman he loves has to be snatched away, which is really unfair!
