A few days after the Holy Emperor returned to Beijing, there was an urgent message coming to Beijing.

The urgent report came from the south, passed by a post and changed horses, and arrived outside the palace gate at noon on this day.

"The eight-hundred-mile urgent military report is here, give up immediately!"

The horse's hooves beat rapidly, and the man on the horse, who was dusty with travels, shouted loudly in a hoarse voice.

Seeing clearly the emergency flag erected behind him, the palace gate guards quickly gave way.

The urgent report was quickly sent to Ganlu Hall.

In a moment, several palace people came out of the palace and arranged for everyone to urgently summon ministers into the palace.

Some chamberlains also came to the palace of General Hussars in Xingningfang. Chang Kuo was summoned and hurried into the palace.

Chang Sui Ning had just gone to the Imperial Academy this morning and was unaware of Chang Kuo's urgent summons to the palace. At this time, Qiao Jijiu, his wife and Qiao Yubai were surrounding her asking about the hibiscus flower banquet.

This time, only Qiao Yumian from the Qiao family went to the banquet. The flower invitation was sent to Qiao Yumian just to show that everyone was treated equally. From the beginning, Qiao Yumian was not among the candidates for the crown princess, so the Qiao family did not go with them.

Let Qiao Yumian relax with Chang Sui Ning.

In Qiao Jijiu's view, Chang Sui Ning should not have been among the candidates, but unexpectedly an accident occurred, and the accidents happened one after another...

First, she almost became the future crown princess, then she almost became the crown princess of Prince Rong, and even almost became the Cui family’s wife!

Really, twists and turns.

But what the Qiao family is most concerned about at the moment is Cui Jing.

Qiao Yubai was a little worried: "Ning Ning, will it make things difficult for you after Governor Cui is rejected?"

Qiao Yang also hesitated and said: "How about letting Lao Chang solve it?"

The young man is used to killing decisively on the battlefield, and this is the first time he expresses his opinions in front of others, and he is rejected like this... What if he can't think about it and his thoughts go to extremes?

Wang was also a little uneasy.

"It's fake." There was no one else here, so Chang Suining explained: "It's just for show."

She roughly explained the inside story.

Everyone in the Qiao family breathed a sigh of relief.

Qiao Yubai suddenly realized: "Let me tell you...how could Governor Cui have such thoughts towards Ning Ning!"

When he first heard about this, he felt that the heavenly book was generally unrealistic and the joint authorship was false.

"Why can't it happen? We, Ning Ning, are so outstanding. Even if there is, it's only human nature." Wang glared at her son and whispered: "You should be careful about this matter. Is there any deception?"

It's your suspicion that you are out there and still pretending not to know..."

Qiao Yubai calmed down and nodded seriously: "Don't worry, grandma, my son understands."

"What about Crown Prince Rong?" Qiao Jijiu couldn't help but ask, "He was also invited to perform?"

Chang Suining took the peeled chestnuts from Xi'er and said: "There is no need to perform the same play twice. It would be too much of a loss to owe two people favors at once."

"Then Prince Rong's proposal to marry...is it really out of love?" Qiao Jijiu was doubtful.

Chang Suining shook his head: "It's hard to say what this person is thinking."

From this incident, it may be seen that the Prince Rong may not be as simple as it seems on the surface, and he must be careful and vigilant in the future.

Qiao Jijiu said rejoicing: "So, fortunately, Governor Cui is here to help..."

Otherwise, Sui Ning still doesn't know what kind of trouble and schemes he will get into.

"Yes, fortunately Governor Cui came forward in time..." Qiao Yumian recalled the scene at that time, still a little scared: "otherwise, Ning Ning's marriage would not be up to her."

"But it's okay now." Qiao Yumian faced Chang Sui Ning and said with a smile: "With the sage's promise, from now on, Ning Ning can make her own decisions about whoever she wants to marry."

Chang Suining slowly chewed the fragrant chestnuts and nodded with a relaxed expression.

For her, this is indeed something worthy of happiness and even celebration.

She never wanted to have a second marriage experience like the one she had in her previous life, where people were influenced by the situation.

Compared with her self-destructive countermeasures, Cui Jing's method this time was really a one-and-done solution, and she was very grateful to him.

But there are many other things in the world that can influence her. If there is no marriage, there will be other things. She cannot just think that everything is fine. On the contrary, she should be prepared to face more troubles.

She has been preparing since she started doing Chang Sui Ning, but it is far from enough.

There was still a long way to go, but she had to take this road, even if it was just to cut off the possibility of being manipulated again.

The Qiao family members only saw the girl sitting in a chair eating chestnuts with a relaxed expression, but they did not know that the chestnuts were dense and fragrant, but the girl's silent determination was stubborn and firm.

Wang happily recited Amitabha: "I have to thank Governor Cui very much."

Qiao Jijiu nodded: "I'll catch a few fish later and have them sent to Xuance Mansion."

Mrs. Wang glared at her husband: "You are still thinking about fishing today!"

"Idle time is nothing but idle time." Qiao Jijiu subconsciously said soft words. Then he thought of something and straightened his back: "I am the biggest today, so you should stay out of the birthday boy's affairs!"

Wang gritted his teeth and let it go. Three hundred and sixty-five days a year, let him be arrogant for just one day, and he would settle accounts with him when he could endure it.

At this time, a servant knocked on the door of the study from outside, saying that Hu Huan from Wuer Society was here, along with Chang Suining and Qiao Yubai.

Chang Suining went to see Hu Huan.

Hu Huan asked timidly: "Ms. Chang...Cui Liulang asked me to ask, can we still play polo?"

Chang Suining: "Why don't you fight?"

After hearing what she said, Cui Lang, who was hiding behind a rockery, came out with a smile on his face: "I knew the master still recognized me as his disciple!"

He was also afraid that after his eldest brother's confession was rejected, his master would be angry with him and throw him away too - this was what Cui Lang thought when he recalled severing relations with his eldest brother for the first time in his life.

Fortunately, fortunately, the master didn't seem to take his eldest brother's matter to heart.

Just thinking about it, Cui Lang couldn't help but feel a little sad for his eldest brother.

But this sadness didn't stop him from getting his classmates together to play polo by the river.

As soon as Chang Sui Ning and others left, a guest arrived on the back.

"...Hey, I have already said that there will be no birthday banquet this year. Why are you going all the way to do this even though you are so busy?" Qiao Jijiu smiled and sighed as he stepped forward to greet me.

This chapter is not over yet, please click on the next page to continue reading! Master Chu suddenly said: "Oh, today is your birthday."

"?" Qiao Jijiu's smile froze slightly: "Then what are you doing..."

"Fishing." Mr. Chu said matter-of-factly.

Qiao Jijiu was dubious.

Not long after the two of them came to the river and sat down, their half-confidence was gone.

"...Today's polo was played with great effort." Master Chu held the fishing rod and said with some disapproval: "No ball has come out for half a day. How can young people play so lifelessly? Have they not eaten yet?

"

It was customary for Qiao to sacrifice wine.

Since the old master took over the post of Minister of Rites, even if an ant crawls in front of him, he still has to get scolded a few times.

When a ball flew over, he was so angry that he felt like a boy again.

No ball flew over, and now there was another opinion.

Qiao Jijiu was helpless: "What are you hoping for? At your age, if a ball really hits you, if it happens to hit a critical place, it won't be them who are so lifeless..."

As Qiao Jijiu spoke, he suddenly raised his eyebrows: "Don't you think...you haven't gotten the painting yet?"

Taifu Chu snorted.

Qiao Jijiu suddenly realized.

Oh, this is another debt collection call. They are not waiting for the ball, but waiting for the person who picks up the ball.

"This child has been really busy recently. You must have heard about those things..." Qiao Jijiu first argued with his child, and then asked the servant to go to the stadium and asked Chang Suining to come over during the halftime break.

say.

When people came over, Master Chu didn't even look at them. He only smiled and fished and said: "...This shocking work is not easy to paint. It would be better to burn it with me in front of my grave after I have been buried for a hundred years."

Let’s see.”

"How could it be possible?" Chang Suining said with a smile: "Half of the painting has been completed. I'm just confused by so many things lately and I can't calm down for a moment, so I don't dare to write at will."

Taifu Chu's gray eyebrows moved slightly: "Oh, you are indeed a nobleman and busy with things. I feel like my ears are going to be calloused just listening to your deeds these days. Why did you win that Song Juren in chess..."

"It turns out that I can defeat Song Juren, and I have to thank Taifu." The girl stood under the willow tree with her hands behind her hands and said with a smile.

Only then did Master Chu's eyes look at the girl: "Why do you thank me? I am not your teacher, and I have never taught you how to play chess."

Chang Suining smiled.

Why not? Why haven't you been taught before?

But she said: "It was precisely because you named my juju club Wuer Society that the people in Song Juren's poetry club were dissatisfied. After everyone provoked and booed, Song Juren and I played chess.
