The boy who is still young has risen a lot in stature.

Wrapped in a cloak embroidered with gold moire, he walked calmly from outside the door of the Prime Minister's Mansion.

He was followed by Qiao Jingchen and Qiao Jinghan.

The expressions of the brothers were very different, one was faintly melancholy, and the other was still happy.

"Mrs. Xiangye, this prince came uninvited, I hope you don't want to be surprised."

The Nine Emperor Princes walked up to Chen and spoke to her, but his eyes fell on Qiao Wanshu.

With a casual move, eight servants immediately walked out behind him, carrying the box in groups of two, and also placed it in front of Chen.

"This is a gift prepared by this prince for the first birthday of He Lingai, I wish her peace and happiness, smooth and worry-free."

Chen hurriedly thanked him, but remembered his daughter's evaluation of the Nine Emperor Princes.

This person can't be too close, for the Qiao family, there is only a disaster, no benefit.

"The Nine Emperor Princes can come to my Qiao Mansion to participate in the first birthday banquet of the little girl, it is really brilliant. Jingchen, you must take care of the Nine Emperor Princes, and you must not be lazy. ”

When she saw the eyes of the Nine Emperor Princes, she always circled around Qiao Wanshu, and secretly said that it was not good in her heart.

It's better to isolate the two as soon as possible, it's not good for him to go to the backyard again and get along with Shu'er in a crowd of female dependents.

So in a few words, he gave the Nine Emperor Princes to Qiao Jingchen, and did not mention that Qiao Wanshu would go to the door to welcome the guests again.

Instead, he took his daughter, turned around and went to the backyard flower hall.

As soon as she returned to Old Madam Qiao, she saw Yingge hurriedly coming over and whispering in her ear, "Madam, there is news from the old general's side. ”

"I said that there was a delay in some things, and I would not be able to come here until later."

"What can happen on my father's side?"

When Chen heard this, he felt a little unhappy in his heart.

In the past, he was at the border and missed all the things that her four sons had done from birth to adulthood.

Now it's a little unreasonable to come back specifically for my granddaughter's first birthday party, but I have to continue to delay it because of something.

"If the fourth child can't come back because he traveled with the prince, that's it. Father obviously loves Shu'er very much, and rushed back for her, is he going to be absent because of something? ”

Although her complaint was not loud, Old Madam Qiao heard it all.

"Although General Chen came back for Shu'er's first birthday banquet, he has an official position after all. Returning to Beijing to report on his work is not a matter of disarming and returning to the field, and there are all kinds of military affairs waiting for him to deal with. ”

"You should also be considerate of your father's suffering, but you don't mean to do it on purpose."

Qiao Wanshu trembled suddenly, got up from Chen's arms, and nervously tightened her mother's clothes.

[Isn't it! I obviously heard my grandfather say that he had arranged for someone to check on the lieutenant general. 】

[Didn't I find anything, but my grandfather was still assassinated? 】

"What!"

When Chen suddenly heard the bad news, his heart was shocked, and he blurted out subconsciously.

When I saw the surprised eyes of Old Madam Qiao and the others, I realized that I had lost my temper.

Hurriedly pretended to be calm and said to Yingge: "I mean, did the person who came say what my father was doing at the time, and was there something important that was delayed?" ”

Yingge shook her head and said, "I heard what the person meant, it seems that he has caught some kind of spy and is interrogating." Because the stakes are so high, I didn't go into details. ”

Chen was a little relieved.

Qiao Wanshu was even more relieved.

[Whew, it's okay!] It must have been Bai Mingfeng's strength and found out the true identity of the deputy general. 】

[Who would have thought that the four princes of a dignified enemy country could deign to lurk in our country, and even climbed all the way to the position of deputy general. 】

[If this matter is not handled well, I am afraid it will bring new hidden dangers to my grandfather and the Qiao family. 】

Old Madam Qiao and Chen were stunned at the same time.

Unexpectedly, instead of getting better, things became more complicated.

But they are just a woman, and the matter involves the enemy country, so they really can't find any suitable excuse to remind General Chen of the true identity of the spy he caught.

While he was struggling, another maid hurriedly walked in from outside.

With a slightly flustered expression, he said to the two: "Old lady, madam, it's not good! Princess Minglai and the Nine Emperors had a dispute, and there was a lot of trouble in the front hall, and it was already out of control! ”

"This ...... What's going on here! ”

Old Madam Qiao was furious, and Huo Ran got up.

Because of the excessive force, his eyes were dizzy and his body was shaky.

Fortunately, Chen was beside her to hold her up, so that she could stabilize her figure.

"Mother, don't be anxious just yet. Xiangye is still in the front hall, which is enough to preside over the overall situation. Let's go and see if we can help. ”

She then said to the ladies and daughters in the flower hall, "Please be calm and wait here for a while. ”

"Mrs. Xiangye, the Nine Emperors and Princess Minglai have a conflict, how can we wait here, it seems that we don't pay attention to the royal family."

Someone took the lead in saying that they actually wanted to see the joke.

Chen couldn't refute these words, so he could only turn his head and follow Old Madam Qiao and hurried towards the front hall.

"Sure enough, the sluts of life don't know etiquette and don't know shame."

"Although the Qiao family is only a prime minister's house, it is not as honorable as my royal family. But he is also a high-ranking household, and he is the minister of the humerus of our dynasty. ”

"Is it the lintel that you lowly wild seed can contaminate?"

"Of course, if you are willing to kneel down and lick the dirt on the embroidered shoes for this princess, maybe this princess is in a good mood, and she can say a few words for you."

"Let the Qiao family not care about the humiliation you give."

The arrogant voice came from afar.

Before I saw Princess Minglai's face, the domineering momentum had already been forced in front of everyone.

Qiao Wanshu automatically brought a high-flying and unforgiving image in her mind.

I couldn't hear anyone stand up and say a word for the Nine Emperor Princes, and I couldn't help but feel a little more sympathy for him in my heart.

[It turns out that the dog's eyes look at people low, regardless of whether it happens in the people, or in the courtyard of the high gate and the deep palace. 】

[But Princess Minglai is relying on herself to be the daughter of the concubine, and she is all evil and arrogant, and she can't jump for a few days. 】

[Soon, she will be sent to the enemy country and relatives! When the time comes, the mountain is high and the emperor is far away, who can still get used to her princess's illness! 】

[Those who befriended Princess Minglai and deliberately embarrassed the Nine Emperors had no good end! ] 】

Qiao Wanshu was stunned suddenly, with a puzzled look on her face, but suddenly a sudden expression.

[Isn't it! Those people ended up miserable, could it be because they had been sorry for the Nine Emperor Princes, so they were remembered by the emperor to take revenge one by one, right? 】

[If you say so, then the Nine Emperor Princes are the heart of the emperor! ] 】

Several people in the Qiao family who could hear Qiao Wanshu's heart almost glanced at the Nine Emperor Princes with strange eyes at the same time.
