What if your brothers make you proud this time?
Don't you want a capable younger brother?
Wow.
He truly is her biological son who inherited her mother's genes.
Qiao Jingjing was impressed.
This line of thinking is spot on and accurate.
If her father were capable and her brothers were talented, would she need to be Sun Ce's concubine? She should be his principal wife!
Why would Sun Ce need to fool her into thinking that she should have a child first before talking about status?
“Sister, your second brother and I know that you have Jinxiu in your heart, and that you were forced to submit to Madam Gu. You didn’t say anything about it, and you didn’t complain to our family. Your brothers understand. It’s alright. This time on the battlefield, your brothers earned military merits. Lord Wu already doted on you, and he will value you even more and rely on you in the future. Madam Gu will still respect you.”
How ambitious!
Shut up already.
In just one courtyard, if others heard these words, and she wasn't prepared, they would really think she was up to something.
Alright.
If you're going, then go.
She would be even happier if she let her two younger brothers experience the thrill of war and learn the harsh realities of life, leading them to return home and diligently farm.
Before following Sun Ce on his expedition.
Under Lü Meng's tutelage, Qiao Jingjing learned even more advanced equestrian skills.
Sun Quan and Han Dang also practiced a set of close-combat sword techniques with Qiao Jingjing.
Sun Yi also taught Qiao Jingjing the archery technique of hitting the bullseye from a hundred paces away.
Qiao Jingjing even practiced swimming in the pool during the dead of winter.
Because Sun Ce suddenly decided to take her to war, in less than half a month, Qiao Jingjing spent her days playing in Wu County with Sun Shangxiang and her evenings discussing life with Sun Ce in a different way. The rest of her time was very fulfilling.
On the day of departure, Qiao Jingjing mounted her steed.
Qiao Jingjing waved goodbye to her father and mother.
Old Man Qiao, his hair white and disheveled, looked on with deep reluctance.
Qiao Manman also came to see them off, wiping her red, tear-stained eyes.
Her elder sister is gone, and so is Zhou Lang.
She could only hide on the sidelines.
Qiao Jingjing was still worried, so she dismounted again.
She walked up to Yuan Shiyi and earnestly asked her to take care of her younger sister, Xiao Qiao, if she had time.
Yuan Shiyi was a concubine who was well-liked by Madam Wu.
"I can only ask you for this. If I can come back, I will thank you profusely. You must promise me."
To others, it seemed as if Qiao Jingjing had lost her mind and was reluctant to part with Sun Quan's concubine.
Yuan Shiyi understood immediately.
"Don't worry, Mrs. Qiao, go ahead with peace of mind."
Qiao Jingjing turned to look at Qiao Manman again, a smile on her face, and waved goodbye.
