Chapter 4: It's Better to Play Palace Fighting Together (3)
Qiao Qiu deliberately asked Huanyu to follow Qiao Dong and asked her to report the situation, while he walked to the training room.
When the grandmothers saw her coming, they all led the slaves and maids to salute. "I've seen Miss Three."
Qiao Qiu waved his hand and called Mama Zhuang and Honglan alone.
Qiao Qiu looked at Mama Zhuang, and there was a bit of warning in her eyes, "Mama Zhuang, I'll give you Honglan, let her stay with you for a while, you put her back the day before the draft, if I am selected, Honglan is what I will bring into the palace, understand?" ”
Mama Zhuang was as serious as rumored, she was the old lady in the house, and she couldn't help but be afraid of Qiao Qiu's eyes, and couldn't help but be more respectful, "Yes, Third Miss, the slave understands." ”
Honglan heard it in a fog, but Qiao Qiu said that she would take her into the palace, she understood, and she was moved in her heart, and said with tears in her eyes: "Don't worry, the slave and maid will definitely learn to be a big maid, if you live up to the master's wishes, the slave and maid will ...... He slammed his head into the wall and died. ”
Qiao Qiumo's pupils widened slightly, and after a while, he said lightly: "It's not necessary to die, I will arrange another place for you to go when the time comes." ”
Honglan cried and knelt down, "Master, slaves and maids don't go anywhere else, they just want to follow their masters, even if they are a sprinkler girl, they are content." ”
Qiao Qiu helped her up with one hand, "Since you want to follow me, you can't just be a sprinkler girl." Didn't I give you a chance? Take advantage of it and don't let me down. ”
"Yes, master."
Leaving the next room, Qiao Qiu came to the place where the two elder brothers were studying. The prime minister is known for his writing, so he also requires his son to be outstanding.
Qiao Qiu stood quietly by the window, listening to the master ask them about their homework, and they answered. After listening to it, he shook his head slightly, his brother's literary talent is indeed not as good as Qiao Yang, if he relies on his strength to fight for status in the officialdom in the future, I am afraid he will not be able to compete with Qiao Yang. The position of the prime minister is not passed down from generation to generation, and when the time comes, won't my brother's situation be very difficult?
Qiao Qiu was so engrossed that he didn't notice Huanyu coming over.
"Third Miss, what are you doing here?"
This sound woke up Qiao Qiu and made the people inside pay attention to the outside.
Qiao Liu Qiao Yang and the master with a goatee walked out, Qiao Qiu glanced at Huanyu, and blessed the three of them, "Master, eldest brother, second brother." ”
The obvious displeasure in his eyes made Huanyu's face pale, his body trembled, and he stood behind nervously and didn't dare to speak.
Qiao Liu looked at his sister with questions on his face, but Qiao Yang didn't take Qiao Qiu in his eyes, and he didn't look at her.
The master smiled kindly, stroked his goatee, and asked softly, "Why is the third lady here?" Why stand outside the window? ”
Qiao Qiu smiled embarrassedly, "Master, I want to talk to my eldest brother about something, but Brother Da is learning from my master in the study, and I am afraid of disturbing you, so I have been standing here." ”
The master smiled and nodded, "The girl is a polite person, not like the rumors." ”
Qiao Qiu smiled playfully: "Qiu'er thinks that a wise man like the master will not pay attention to rumors, otherwise what is the difference between that and a worldly person?" ”
The master laughed heartily, "What a Qiu'er, such a powerful mouth, can actually defeat me." ”
"The master concedes." Qiao Qiu smiled lightly, but the smile did not penetrate deep into his eyes.
The master stroked his beard, "Eldest son, you can talk to the third lady, second son, follow the old man in and continue the class." ”
"Yes."
Before Qiao Yang turned around and left, he took a deep look at Qiao Qiu.
Qiao Qiu didn't care, and said viciously to Huanyu: "You give me a long walk, dare to get close and eavesdrop, I will break your dog's leg." ”
Huanyu trembled in fright, "Yes." ”
Qiao Liu grabbed her arm and reproached, "Qiu'er, why did you just praise you and reveal your true form again?" ”
"Hmph." Qiao Qiu snorted playfully, and then pulled him along the corridor to the backyard.
Walking to the back garden, Qiao Liu grabbed her and said helplessly: "I let you pull it here, can you tell me what's the matter?" ”
Qiao Qiu pointed at his fingers, his big eyes purring, smart and cute, "Big brother, what if I tell you, is there nothing wrong?" ”
"Huh?" Qiao Liu raised his eyebrows, trying his best to hold back his temper.
"Hey, just kidding. Brother, am I going to be sent to the palace next year? Qiao Qiu looked up at him, and there was no smile on his face.
Qiao Liu was stunned when she heard this, sighed, raised her hand and touched her head, "Yes, you are going to the draft next year." ”
"Brother is reluctant to Qiu'er?"
This sentence pierced Qiao Liu's heart, and his eyes revealed distress, "It is said that the palace is a place to eat people, you have been pampered since you were a child, you don't know that people's hearts are sinister, if you have a choice, my brother doesn't want to send you in at all." ”
Qiao Qiu held his hand and showed a relieved smile, "Brother, it's enough to have you." ”
Qiao Qiu will be selected by the emperor in both lives, and she doesn't like to grab a man with so many women, so she is hesitating all day today whether to cheat to death and avoid the draft.
It's just that she thought that Qiao Dong would never let go of her brother and mother when she became the queen, Qiao Qiu had been reincarnated for so many lives, and the people she cherished the most were the people who loved her, if she watched them fall into a crisis, but she was living a good life outside, would she be able to live at ease?
She doesn't have much kindness, but it doesn't mean that she has no conscience.
Anyway, reincarnation for so many lifetimes, it's not that she hasn't been the emperor's concubine, what's the big deal about being it again?
As long as she can keep them, she will play this palace fight.
…………
Time flies quickly, and in a blink of an eye, Qiao Qiu Qiao Dong is already in time, and there are not a few days left before the draft day.
On this day, Qiao Qiu dressed herself as a mediocre-looking girl and slipped out of the Prime Minister's Mansion without anyone.
On the lively West Street, the hawkers shouted endlessly, Qiao Qiu put his hands behind his back, a pair of big eyes were as bright as stars, looking left and right, and he was in a good mood.
After walking two streets, Qiao Qiu walked into a small alley and suddenly disappeared. The men who followed behind spun around for a moment like headless flies, looked at each other, and scattered.
In the alley of East Street, a girl walked out of it, her long aqua blue skirt hung down to her ankles, her hand was holding a light blue light gauze shawl, her posture was staggering, and her waist was full of hands. The hair is combed in a cross bun, and the crystal forehead ornament still hangs from the forehead, and the face is covered with a light veil. Even if you just show a pair of big eyes, you know that this is a beauty.
Her appearance attracted the attention of people on the street, but she didn't stay long before she walked into a tea house.
This tea house is famous as 'Ming Xiang Xuan', although the name is simple, but it has a long history, not to mention the wide area, there are many good places to drink tea, and most importantly, it is dedicated to serving the nobles.
When the girl walked into Mingxiangxuan, Xiao Er came to greet her, and after a while, she was led to the third floor.
Upstairs, there are several private seats, all separated by screens, and the places in and out are separated by light gauze, each of which is set up by a window.
The girl picked the innermost private room, and Xiao Er immediately went to make a pot of tea, and then withdrew.
There was no one around, and she lifted the veil, it was Qiao Qiu who got rid of the person who was following her.
She thought that there would be no big problem with makeup, but someone still followed. Fortunately, she had been reincarnated for so many lives before and had learned a lot of things, otherwise she might not have been able to get rid of them so easily.
Qiao Qiu took so much trouble to come out, in fact, just to watch a play, hoping that this play would not disappoint her.
Halfway through the tea, a familiar figure appeared on the street below. The corners of Qiao Qiu's mouth hooked, and he came.
