In the book, the marriage between Qiao Qingqing and the prince was promised by the Queen Mother. Now the royal family will naturally not openly regret the marriage. The only possibility is for her, Qiao Qingqing, to make the mistake herself.
Now that the prince is speaking vaguely, he must be sure that she will refuse.
Qiao Qingqing couldn't see the prince's expression, so she could only think to herself, since she had promised to go to Jun Muxi, what was the prince still guarding against?
Could it be some dirty means that cannot be put on the table?
Now that the plot has deviated from the main line due to her interference, what will happen in the future has become no longer certain...
Qiao Qingqing suppressed her thoughts and nodded gently, "Yes, Brother Prince."
That's all we can do, let's act according to the circumstances...
Not long after the prince left, Qiao Qianqian's roar echoed through the courtyard again:
"Qiao Qingqing, you liar, my eldest sister told you that she met you last night!"
Qiao Qingqing had a splitting headache.
She held her forehead with one hand, supported the table and raised her eyes slightly, "So?"
"So you have completely lost your reputation!"
Qiao Qianqian took Qiao Xiaoxiao's arm and raised her chin proudly, "Second sister, tell me, how can a woman who has lost her reputation marry the current prince and become the princess?"
Qiao Xiaoxiao looked at Qiao Qingqing with some sympathy, her eyes could not hide the happiness, but she remained calm on the surface.
Seeing that Qiao Xiaoxiao was not responding, Qiao Qianqian glanced at Qiao Lianyi again, "Sister, the Crown Princess is the future queen. You must testify when the time comes to let the Tian family take back this marriage!"
Qiao Qingqing rolled her eyes speechlessly.
As for the prince, that duplicitous man with no moral character and no appearance, she wouldn't be surprised if he became the second "Wu Zetian" let alone the future queen, right?
Seeing that she didn't care much, Qiao Qianqian immediately darkened her face, "Why, you still want to quibble?"
"Then you call the police." Qiao Qingqing spread her hands.
"Sister..." Qiao Qianqian turned her head and looked at Qiao Lianyi for help.
Qiao Lianyi seemed not to have expected that her casual response would have such serious consequences. Her eyes flickered and she spoke vaguely, "Maybe... maybe I saw it wrong..."
"Sister, how can you protect her?"
Qiao Qianqian immediately let go of her arms and moved to Qiao Lianyi, "It's obviously her, who else could it be if she wasn't her?"
Qiao Qingqing suddenly became interested, "You are so sure it's me, did you also see me last night? My eldest sister has the second prince to protect her, who will protect you?"
At this point, Qiao Qingqing covered her mouth in feigned panic, "Oh, is it you who was the pervert first?"
"You...don't talk nonsense. I stayed in the boudoir last night, and my wife can testify..." Qiao Qianqian immediately began to prove her innocence.
"If you don't believe me," Qiao Qingqing shrugged, "Of course your wife will protect you."
"My little mother is dignified and virtuous, and my father often praises her. How can her words be false?" Qiao Qianqian's face turned red with anxiety.
"Hmph, your little wife is dignified, isn't the eldest sister also dignified? The eldest sister's reputation is well-known throughout Kyoto, don't her words carry more weight than your little mother's?"
Qiao Qingqing's face turned stern, and her words were a bit rude, "Since you haven't left the house, why are you making some dirty rumors about me here? Does it mean that you have a mouth?"
Qiao Qianqian was frightened by her sudden momentum, her shoulders shook imperceptibly, and she moved back a little.
At this time, Qiao Lianyi finally said, "Stop arguing. I'm sure I was blinded."
Seemingly wanting to change the subject, Qiao Lianyi crossed Qiao Qianqian, stepped forward and said, "San'er, are you feeling better? Are you still having a fever?"
Qiao Qingqing withdrew her gaze and opened her mouth slightly, "Sister, you'd better call me by my name..."
"Well," Qiao Lianyi stretched out the catkins and covered her head. After trying it for a moment, she said, "It's not hot anymore. That's good. I'm really worried that your illness will affect the Queen Mother's birthday banquet tomorrow."
"
Hmm? What does the Queen Mother’s birthday party tomorrow have to do with her?
Qiao Qingqing began to think about the plot in the book.
Originally, the four sisters of the Qiao family were supposed to perform dances at the Queen Mother's birthday banquet.
But the direction of the book is that she was sent home by Jun Muxi, then fell seriously ill, and when she woke up, she found that her marriage to the prince had been annulled, and she was granted a marriage by the emperor to Jun Muxi, who had lost his military power.
Seeing Qiao Qingqing thinking about something for a moment, Qiao Lianyi's face turned pale:
"San'er, are you confused by the fever?"
"No," Qiao Qingqing came back to her senses and waved her hands hastily, "It's a dance show, I won't go, I'm afraid."
As soon as she finished speaking, Qiao Qianqian's attitude immediately made a 360-degree turn, "How could you not go? All the clothes are ready for you!"
As she spoke, she clapped her hands proudly, and a maid walked up to the four of them holding a tray.
She glanced at the brightly colored dresses on the tray. They were made of fine materials, and she could tell at a glance that they were of great value.
But Qiao Qingqing still smelled the faint smell of potato.
Qiao Qianqian wanted her to get a rash all over her body and make a fool of herself during the dance performance?
Qiao Qingqing curled her lips, she even dared to do tricks in front of her even though she was a little skilled, her setting was that of a medical girl!
As an eighteenth-line junior writer, Qiao Qingqing quickly went through this chain of calculations in her mind:
Dioscorea powder will sting the skin only after it comes into contact with the skin, causing it to itch unbearably.
In other words, when she made a fool of herself, the whole dance was coming to an end, and Qiao Qianqian herself had enough limelight.
It was too early and Qiao Qingqing was unable to perform. The three of them could not support such a large dance lineup. As the eldest daughter of the Prime Minister's Palace, Qiao Lianyi was naturally the best choice for solo dancing;
It's too late to make Qiao Qingqing embarrassed in public...
Qiao Qingqing was lost in thought when she heard Qiao Qianqian speak again:
"This dance dress is very valuable. I also ordered my maid to scent it with the best incense all night. It will be fragrant by then. You don't need to try it on. It's the right size. If the smell dissipates, you won't be able to cry without tears."
"The daughter of a merchant is rich and powerful, right?"
Qiao Qingqing stretched out her slender jade fingers, picked up a corner of her clothes, put it to her nose and sniffed, identifying the smell of yam among the refreshing aroma.
She pursed her lips and said, "In that case, I'll leave it to you first."
Qiao took a deep breath.
"San'er, do you want to rehearse with us again?"
"Sister," Qiao Qingqing slumped her shoulders, "Can you change your title?"
"This..." Qiao Lianyi was a little embarrassed, "I can't call you... call you 'Qing Qing', right?"
As soon as he finished speaking, Qiao Qianqian sneered and said, "You said you don't want to seduce men. I think that's what your shameless little girl had in mind when she named you, right?"
Qiao Qingqing suddenly understood that "Qingqing" is a nickname between men and women!
No wonder Jun Muxi calls her "Qiao San", the prince calls her "Sister Qiao", and even Qiao Lianyi can only call her "San'er". Everyone is trying to avoid suspicion!
The most ridiculous thing is that she kept calling herself "Qing Qing" when facing the prince. Now that I think about it, I really should have followed the Internet cable to give the author a real answer. What a bad name!
But Qiao Qianqian's ridicule continued, "But it's reasonable to think about it. A little girl who doesn't know how to behave, gives birth to a daughter who doesn't know how to behave. This is not a shocking event..."
Qiao Qingqing saw her lips opening and closing, but she didn't make any excuse. She just stared at her for a moment and then spoke quietly, with a serious look on her face, "You have food on your teeth."
