Qiao Qingqing rolled her eyes, "There was a fire in the ruined temple. I was rescued by my eldest sister and escorted her to find the second prince. I wanted to make meritorious deeds and plead guilty when I returned to Kyoto. Who was the fugitive? Where did I escape?"
"Plead guilty? I don't think you have the slightest attitude of admitting guilt!"
Qiao Qianqian pointed her finger like a shrew scolding the street.
"Didn't I just come back? Are you in a hurry?"
As Qiao Qingqing took Qiao Lianyi's arm and was about to enter the house, Qiao Xiaoxiao finally spoke:
"Sister, is it inappropriate for you to harbor criminals?"
Qiao Lianyi suddenly turned around, her whole body trembling:
"Xiaoxiao, I usually take care of you, why do you treat me like this? You...you are so cruel!"
Qiao Xiaoxiao immediately opened her big innocent eyes, "Sister, what are you talking about? Xiaoxiao doesn't understand..."
"Don't understand?" Qiao Lianyi sneered, "If you don't understand, don't talk. Otherwise, I don't mind talking to you."
Perhaps because she was afraid that the matter would be exposed, Qiao Xiaoxiao immediately shut up and watched the two of them walk into the house.
Qiao Qingqing had only taken a few steps when she heard a heart-wrenching cry:
"Girl, you are finally back!"
Qiao Qingqing frowned and saw her aunt running out of nowhere, squatting on the ground and picking up her calf:
"Girl, it's my aunt who's useless. My aunt didn't protect the prince's betrothal gift..."
She shouted hoarsely, and after leaving Qiao Qingqing, she told the story of what the Prime Minister's Mansion had done to the house.
As Qiao Qingqing listened, a layer of gloom formed on her face.
How dare they slap Jun Muxi in the face openly? Who gave them the courage!
My aunt burst into tears and didn't notice a graceful figure approaching quietly.
The other party, Pingpingtingting, behaves charmingly.
But out of the corner of her eye, Qiao Qingqing caught a glimpse of a familiar yellow color.
Is this person... the impostor?
Qiao Qingqing suddenly raised her head and was looking at the young woman with great interest.
She covered her nose with her hands, fanned herself with her sleeves, and said to her left and right, "When will a woman who cleans the toilet bowl be able to act like a fool in my prime minister's house? Why don't you stop quickly?"
As soon as she opened her mouth, Qiao Qingqing felt that all the bones in her body were numb!
Although everyone loves a young lady with a beautiful voice and a sweet voice, the meanness and calculation on the face of this woman in front of her are really disappointing, right?
Qiao Qingqing immediately stretched out her arm to block her aunt, "Who dares to touch her?"
"Hahaha……"
A burst of laughter like silver bells aroused tremors in everyone's hearts, and the other party almost doubled over with laughter.
After a long time, she straightened her back and said lazily, "Girl, as the third young lady of the Prime Minister's Mansion, what do I have to do with beating and punishing my own servants?"
"When the road is rough, draw your sword to help~" Qiao Qingqing helped her aunt up.
"Help?" The other party seemed to have heard some great joke, "I wonder what your identity is in helping this girl?"
"The adopted sister of the second prince, I wonder if this status is enough?"
Qiao Qingqing finally moved out of Jun Sumo's backing.
"What?"
The woman's face froze, and Qiao Xiaoxiao and Qiao Qianqian behind her were also shocked!
Qiao Qianqian shook her head frequently, "How is it possible? How could the second prince accept a fugitive as his adopted sister? Is he crazy?"
Just when everyone was surprised, Mrs. Green Tea arrived in a hurry.
She glanced at her aunt with disgust, her eyes finally fixed on Qiao Qingqing:
"You fugitive, you are so shameless! You should be punished by the Heavenly Family for clinging to the royal family, but you should never do it. You should not act wild in my Prime Minister's Mansion. If I condone you, it will be a discredit for the Prime Minister's Mansion. Come on.
people!"
Before she finished speaking, Qiao Lianyi was already standing in front of Qiao Qingqing.
"Second Madam, Third Sister, she is really the adopted sister that Brother Su Mo just recognized..."
"Shut up!" Mrs. Green Tea glared, "Your third sister is not the bold folk girl in front of you. Lianyi, don't forget that now, Rourou is your third sister worthy of the name!"
When Qiao Lianyi saw that the Second Madam was no longer pretending, she knew that the princeling faction had gained the upper hand. In addition, the Second Madam was currently in charge of the entire Prime Minister's Mansion, so she didn't know how to refute it.
In a daze, he heard the second lady scolding her harshly:
"Come here and get some women to lock this old woman who doesn't clean the bucket properly into the firewood shed, and then kick this ignorant girl out of the Prime Minister's Mansion!"
"Wait!"
A majestic voice sounded from behind the second lady.
Everyone turned their heads in unison.
On the lush path, a noble woman was approaching with a dignified step.
Everyone opened their mouths and their jaws dropped:
"Lady...Lady?"
"Why did the eldest lady leave the Buddhist hall? Have you recovered your health?"
"It seems that the weather in the backyard of the Prime Minister's Mansion is about to change..."
All the maids were whispering, and the eldest lady walked up to Qiao Qingqing without squinting her eyes. She glanced around and could hear needles falling all around.
Mrs. Green Tea finally recovered from her surprise. She gritted her teeth and said with a smile:
"Why is sister here?"
The eldest lady smiled tenderly at Qiao Qingqing and said without concealment:
"Miss Qiao is a distinguished guest invited by my wife. Who allows you to be rude to her?"
Her voice, with its gentleness and unquestionable majesty, made Mrs. Green Tea lose her momentum:
"Sister, you have lived in the Buddhist hall for a long time, so you may not know what is going on outside the house. This girl is a fugitive prisoner of the imperial court. She should have been exiled to Northern Xinjiang..."
"Since my daughter Lianyi said that she is the adopted sister recognized by the second prince, then the term 'prisoner' must be considered. You have offended her by being so hasty. If you offend the second prince then, what do you want Lianyi to do?
?”
Qiao Qianqian folded her arms and sneered:
"Hmph! Will the second prince recognize her as his adopted sister? I think it's just a fabrication! When the second prince finds out, for the sake of the eldest sister, she will have to accept her even if she is riding a tiger. She is sure of this..."
"The imperial edict has arrived!"
With a sharp tone, a young eunuch came quickly.
Everyone was shocked and then fell to the ground.
Qiao Qingqing was standing in the back row at this time.
She watched helplessly as the "fake" Qiao Rourou slowly leaned down in an extremely unnatural posture.
Is she possessed?
Qiao Qingqing's thoughts were led astray and she didn't hear the eunuch's reading clearly. It wasn't until Qiao Lianyi reminded her in a low voice that she came back to her senses!
"Princess, you still don't accept the order?"
Hmm? Princess? What princess?
Qiao Lianyi said in a low voice, "Brother Su Mo must have asked for it for you. With this identity, you will be much tougher."
Qiao Qingqing was immediately happy!
She deliberately glanced at Qiao Qianqian with a triumphant look, and when she saw her, she almost gritted her silver teeth, and then said unhurriedly, "Thank you for your grace, Your Majesty."
After the eunuch left, the surroundings fell into a dead silence. The arrogance on Mrs. Green Tea's face disappeared without knowing when, leaving only a hint of embarrassment.
Qiao Qingqing coughed lightly, walked slowly to her, and said:
"Mrs. Green, I wonder who you just said you want to imprison in the woodshed?"
Mrs. Green Tea blushed, "No, no one wants to be locked up in the woodshed..."
Finally, she added in a low voice, "Princess, my surname is not Lu, my surname is Kan..."
"Okay, Mrs. Green."
Qiao Qingqing raised the corners of her lips politely, and then slowly shifted her gaze to Qiao Qianqian's face.
