The next day, when the army entered Beijing, thousands of people in the city were empty, and Qiao Yuan took the Hou family to greet him at the city gate.

Qi Cun was wearing silver armor, shining in the sunlight, riding a sweaty and bloody horse, and was full of spirit.

When he arrived at the city gate, Qi Cun bent down and put Qiao Yuan on his horse, Qiao Yuan was frightened by the sudden movement, and hugged Qi Cun's arm tightly.

The crowd cheered again.

Qi Cun chuckled wickedly, hugged her thin waist tightly, and said in a low voice: "Daughter-in-law, do you remember when I taught you how to ride a horse?" ”

Before Qiao Yuan could react, two blushes fluttered on his face, and a swaying tassel bead was inserted obliquely on his sideburns, swaying gently with the horse's movement, looking playful and cute

General Qi took his daughter-in-law to the cheers of the people of the city, and walked slowly through the whole process.

For a while, the previous rumors about Qiao Yuan were overshadowed by the statement that General Qi and Mrs. Qi raised their eyebrows and loved each other, and the talented people in Beijing even wrote poems: The general returned from a hundred battles, and he hid his merits on his waist, and asked the person in his arms, saying that he was the general's wife.

Everybody recited.

Qi Cun was right, after sending Qiao Yuan back to the General's Mansion that day, he rushed back to the barracks non-stop, and entered the palace the next day to face the saint.

In the next few days, he was busy reporting on his work and handing over things, and the emperor specially asked him to stay in the palace, and he didn't even see Qiao Yuan's face.

The matter was finally resolved, and the emperor remembered that he had worked hard and made great achievements, and set up a banquet in the palace at night to receive the wind and wash the dust for the Marquis of Zhenbei.

When her father-in-law brought the message to the Hou Mansion, Xiaoyu was sent to the main hall to help, and was beckoned to send her father-in-law out and back to the palace.

Xiaoyu sent it all the way to West Street, and then turned around and went to the back door of Qiao's Mansion.

The Wang family has always disliked attending these occasions, so Qiao Yuan only took Qi Wei into the palace.

Qiao Yuan had also entered the palace before, so he wasn't nervous.

She is young, she is beautiful, and she wears a solemn court dress, with a sense of distance more than usual.

The lustrous Dongzhu earrings swayed slightly with the carriage, which made the face even more powdery.

Qi Wei sat opposite, looking at her secretly, with hidden envy and jealousy in her eyes.

With a good background, good looks, and a high and powerful husband, what woman doesn't envy such a life?

Qiao Yuan didn't seem to pay attention to her gaze, and didn't say anything all the way to the gate of the palace.

There are already some people gathered here, all waiting to enter the palace.

Qiao Yuan saw Qiao's carriage and was about to pass by, when she also saw her over there and walked towards this side.

"Sister."

Qi Wei saw Qiao Yuan hear this salutation, and his face gradually sank.

She looked at the visitor curiously, and then her expression was shocked.

The person who came was a little girl, thin and weak, and her facial features were slightly light, but it could also be seen that she was a beautiful embryo, but her face was slightly pale, indicating that she was not in good health.

In particular, she is in a wheelchair.

Jin Shu reluctantly called out: "Second Miss." “

Only then did Qi Wei understand that she was Qiao Jia, the second lady of the Qiao family.

Qiao Jia was not born to the eldest lady, she was a concubine, her biological mother died early, and it is said that Qiao Yuan looked down on this sister and bullied her a lot.

Qiao Jia pushed the wheelchair by herself, and didn't stop until she was one step away from Qiao Yuan, and shouted timidly again: "Big sister." “

Get rid of the image of a poor concubine who has been oppressed under her sister-in-law.

Qiao Yuan looked at it coldly, his face expressionless: "Why are you here?" “

Qiao Jia was not deterred by her cold face, but posted it even more: "Tonight is my brother-in-law's celebration banquet, I know that my sister will definitely come, and I begged my mother for a long time before agreeing to take me." “

She had a humble expression and a look of admiration in her eyes.

On one side is a well-behaved sister, and on the other side is a domineering sister, and the eyes that swept around were condemned.

Qiao Yuan was unmoved, and his face was pale: "Follow your mother, don't run around, so as not to cause trouble to others." “

Qiao Jia's eyes slowly dimmed.

Qi Wei, who was watching from the sidelines, looked indignant, it seemed that the rumors were really true, Qiao Yuan actually bullied his sister in a wheelchair.

At this time, the palace gate opened, and a group of people followed the guide to the imperial garden.

At this time, the imperial garden was lit up, and the palace maids and eunuchs came and went with dishes.

Qiao Yuan found a place to sit alone to breathe, and waited until the time was almost up before getting up and returning to the banquet.

This time there were more eyes on her.

The Marquis of Zhenbei has repeatedly performed miraculous feats, and even won the emperor's heart, and even Qiao Yuan followed suit.

Li Yue's eyes were resentful, she fell into the water with Qiao Yuan last time, and then she was swaggered by the subordinates of the Hou Mansion in Zhenbei to collect debts, and she was simply embarrassed.

I always heard people say that the young lady of Li Shilang's family looked at the scenery on the surface, but in fact, she couldn't even afford to damage someone's hairpin.

Whose hairpin costs five hundred taels.

Li Yue concluded that Qiao Yuan was a lion who opened his mouth, but was scolded by Father Li, who felt embarrassed, so he could only grit his teeth and pay five hundred taels, and then went out without face for several days.

Now she saw that Qiao Yuan was in the limelight, and she gritted her teeth with hatred.

"What's proud, it's not that you can only marry a rough martial artist, where will it hurt people......"

She fantasized about Qiao Yuan's unhappy marriage, knocked out her teeth and swallowed blood, and suddenly bumped into someone behind her, and she almost fell.

Li Yue was already in a bad mood, and when someone bumped into her, she broke out all of a sudden: "You don't have long eyes!" “

Qiao Jia was so frightened by her that tears were about to come out: "This sister, I'm sorry." “

Li Yue stood firm and saw that it was Qiao Jia.

Hmph, she can't help Qiao Yuan, and can't she help her sister?

Qiao Yuan just came in, and when he saw a group of people around here, his eyelids jumped.

Getting closer, the scene of chaos comes into view.

Li Yue lifted her chin proudly, her cheap sister fell to the side, her clothes were dirty, and her wheelchair was also down, helplessly trying to stand up, crawling halfway and falling back.

The people around were forced by Li Yue's power, so they could only stand aside and watch the excitement.

And so it was.

Qiao Yuan couldn't tell how she felt, from the moment she saw Qiao Jia, she knew that the banquet would not be peaceful.

When Li Yue saw Qiao Yuan, he was subconsciously a little nervous. Although Qiao Yuan didn't want to see this sister, it was hard to guarantee that he wouldn't feel that he had been stepped on to settle accounts with her.

But he didn't expect Qiao Yuan to just raise his eyelids, and he didn't even ask, but only ordered Hongyu behind him to help Qiao Jia up.

Qiao Jia's body trembled, crying and being pushed over.

She was small, her face was crying in a wheelchair, and she looked pitiful.

Qiao Yuan rubbed her forehead and asked her, "Did you bring extra clothes?" “

Generally, when attending a banquet, thoughtful people will bring a spare set of clothes to avoid accidents.

Qiao Jia looked dazed.

She didn't bring it herself, and Qiao's mother naturally wouldn't think about helping her bring it.

Qiao Yuan had no choice but to tell Hongyu to bring the clothes in her carriage, and pointed out a palace maid to take Qiao Jia to an empty hall to wait.

Qiao Jia had tears in her eyes: "Big sister, can you accompany me, I'm afraid." “

Qiao Yuan frowned, and the disgust in his eyes could not be hidden.

Qiao Yuan didn't want to care about her, and he was afraid that if he didn't agree to her, he would provoke something, so he had to walk out with her with a cold face.
