Jiang Qiao didn't have anyone to help her bathe, she was not used to it.
After taking off the heavy armor, the large and small scars on the delicate fair skin looked out of place.
The wound on his abdomen was scabbing, and Jiang Qiao carefully scrubbed his body to prevent water from wetting the wound.
After bathing, Jiang Qiao sat in front of the mirror and called Qiushi to come in and change clothes.
The person in the mirror had black hair draped behind her, thin eyebrows and charming eyes, and a peerless appearance. Her every move was graceful and her aloofness was beyond words.
Qiushi felt that the young lady seemed like a different person when she came back this time. Her face was still the same, but her temperament was very different.
She had never been to the border or seen a battlefield, but Chunhua always said that the conditions there were difficult, but very comfortable, and there was no need to care about the restrictive rules for women.
"Miss, what kind of dress would you like to wear?"
Jiang Qiao casually replied, "Let's keep it simple."
It's not advisable to attract too much attention when you just return to Beijing.
Qiushi took out the light blue wide-sleeved long dress for her to change into, and combed her hair into a simple bun using only two jade hairpins.
The original owner had always been ridiculed by the noble ladies in Beijing. She was very concerned about her clothes and wore whatever was expensive. Too much complicated clothes had the opposite effect.
Now this simple decoration makes her look slender and graceful, like a fairy walking out of a scroll, and there is no sign that she is the decisive and ruthless general.
At this time, everyone else was having a meal. Ji Muhe was worried that Jiang Qiao was hungry, so he asked the kitchen to send some food.
After finishing his meal, Jiang Qiao planned to go to his grandmother's yard to take a look.
Laughter came from the Evening Breeze Hall.
"Grandma, if you like, I will come and massage your legs every day."
"Mom, look how filial Anran is. If you ask me, a woman should still..."
They are Feng Ruoxi and her daughter.
Jiang Qiao's eyes flashed, and he raised his chin slightly and walked in, "Second Aunt, you are here too."
Feng Ruoxi opened her mouth but didn't continue. She turned around, her expression changed, and her brows were filled with joy, "Qiao Qiao, you..."
However, looking at Jiang Qiao's outfit, he stood there in a daze.
Is this person really Jiang Qiao?
Jiang Anran saw Jiang Qiao's face clearly, and the massage movements of her hands unconsciously became more intense, causing Old Madam Jiang to scream.
Jiang Anran quickly restrained his strength and apologized to the old lady.
Jiang Qiao ignored the two of them and only looked at the old lady, kneeling down and kowtowed to admit her mistake, "Grandma, your granddaughter is back."
Madam Jiang quickly asked Nanny Sun to help her up, "It's good that you're back, it's good that you're back."
Jiang Qiao sat aside, behaving properly. She responded calmly to whatever the old lady asked.
Feng Ruoxi and Jiang Anran were unable to get a word in, so they just sat aside and smiled awkwardly.
Old Madam Jiang has a slight preference for Jiang Qiao because she has lived with her father at the border since she was a child, and sometimes the longer she can't see him, the more she misses him.
But the old lady was also dissatisfied with her granddaughter. She cared most about the reputation of the general's mansion. The last time the original owner returned to Beijing, she made a lot of jokes, which made the old lady unhappy.
When Jiang Qiao came back this time, the old lady felt that she had become more stable, and her preference for her was ignited again.
"Jinghua, go get that blood jade bracelet for Miss Qiao."
Jinghua is Nanny Sun's maiden name, and she has been with the old lady since she was a child.
When Jiang Anran heard this, the smile on her face faded a little. She had always wanted that blood jade bracelet. She had hinted to it many times, but the old lady had refused to give it to her. This time, she actually gave it to Jiang Qiao, such a vulgar man.
Feng Ruoxi also stared at the bracelet. This was given to the old lady by the Queen Mother. Unexpectedly...
"Mom, this bracelet was given to Qiao Qiao. It might be inconvenient for her to wield swords and guns on a daily basis."
Jiang Qiao put on the bracelet in front of her, "Second Aunt, you don't know martial arts, how would you know if it's convenient or not? I'm such a powerful martial artist that I won't damage this bracelet, so don't worry about it."
Feng Ruoxi was choked and Xiaoxiao stopped talking.
Jiang Anran said, "Sister, this bracelet looks really good on you."
Jiang Qiao: "Of course it looks good on me. Grandma loves me the most."
Jiang Anran's expression was dark, "Unlike me, I don't have this blessing."
Madam Jiang felt distressed and was about to say something.
Jiang Qiao's expression was indifferent. "Sister, you live a peaceful life in the mansion, and Grandma loves you, but you say you are not blessed. Don't say such things next time. Grandma will be sad to hear it."
Jiang Anran didn't expect Jiang Qiao to misinterpret her meaning like this. She originally wanted to make the old lady feel distressed and maybe get something in return. Now that Jiang Qiao said these words, the old lady might think she was greedy.
When did Jiang Qiao become so difficult to deal with?
Madam Jiang's expression was indeed not good. "An Ran, your sister is right."
"Yes...I spoke out of turn." Jiang Anran bowed his head and admitted his mistake.
Jiang Qiao stayed in Wanfeng Hall for a while and then left.
At noon, she was going to the palace to meet the emperor, and Ji Muhe was accompanying her.
The current imperial concubine is Ji Muhe's biological sister, so I can take this opportunity to take Jiang Qiao to see her.
Hall of Mental Cultivation.
At the top, the bright yellow dragon robe is particularly eye-catching. The current emperor is a wise ruler and is loved by the people.
So Jiang Qiao was not afraid of him.
"Your Majesty, your servant."
Jiang Qiao had not yet been appointed an official, and her position as a military commander was only temporary, so she could only call herself a servant.
"Get up, Jiang Qiao, you really have the same style as your father did back then."
The man's voice was intimidating without being angry.
Jiang Qiao stood up and said, "Thank you, Your Majesty."
The emperor didn't like nonsense, so he asked her, "You have made a great contribution this time. I will do what I promised you. You can make your request now."
Jiang Qiao looked him straight in the eye. "Your Majesty, I haven't decided what to ask for yet. Can I tell Your Majesty when I've made up my mind?"
The emperor found this little girl interesting and said, "I approve."
"Your Majesty, the Imperial Preceptor requests an audience." Eunuch Li trotted in.
Jiang Qiao was not a person without tact. "Your servant will take your leave first."
Outside the Hall of Mental Cultivation.
Fu Yanci was wearing a wide black robe with strange golden patterns on the bottom, exuding a mysterious luster. His angular face looked particularly cold at this moment.
“Crack—”
The door opened.
The autumn wind was a little damp, gently ruffling Jiang Qiao's skirt.
[Ding Dong~ Fragments have appeared.]
Jiang Qiao looked up at him with a smile in his eyes.
“Pada—”
When the two were about to miss each other, the sandalwood beads on Fu Yanci's wrist suddenly broke, and the wooden beads fell on the blue bricks with a dull sound.
No one thought such an accident would happen.
Jiang Qiao was also stunned, then bent down to pick up the beads on the ground for him.
The sandalwood beads emit a subtle fragrance in the autumn breeze, which can calm the mind.
The father-in-law standing by also hurried to help the imperial teacher pick it up.
Jiang Qiao raised the beads and returned them to Fu Yanci, "Master Imperial Master, please be more careful next time. Don't choose a string that's too thin."
Her gaze was like a breeze blowing across a pond, causing ripples in people's hearts.
Fu Yanci seemed to have seen her before.
[Ding Dong~ Congratulations to the host for reaching 8% of the strategy value. I hope the host will continue to work hard. Kiss~]
