"Oh? Is this the little one from Master Qiao's family?"

A handsome and gentle man leaned over, his crimson-purple cloud satin brocade clothes making him look graceful and elegant.

The anger in Qiao Zhongguo's heart suddenly stopped and he responded respectfully.

Qiao Jiaojiao's eyes lit up slightly.

[Prince! This is the prince, right? Sigh——]

Qiao Jiaojiao's sudden sigh made Qiao Zhongguo's heart skip a beat.

Is there something wrong with the prince too?

Qiao Jiaojiao continued to sigh.

【well--】

Qiao Zhongguo's scalp was already tingling.

My daughter, don't just sigh, say something if you have something to say!

[Alas, I am already hungry, but I don’t want to leave. What should I do? 】

Qiao Zhongguo: “…”

If anyone else had kept him hanging like this, he would have been punched by him long ago!

But since this person is Jiaojiao, even hanging him with a rope will do.

"Master Qiao, can I have a hug too?"

The prince suddenly reached out his hand towards Jiaojiao in Qiao Zhongguo's arms.

As soon as these words came out, the looks of everyone around them changed instantly.

What a great honor this is! His Majesty and the Crown Prince have really given the Qiao family enough face.

The prince's action naturally has profound meaning.

Last night in the Imperial Study, His Majesty summoned the Crown Prince alone and gave him a special instruction:

Qiao Zhongguo is a loyal, upright and capable minister. Now that he has no military power, we can rest assured that we can use him.

Qiao Zhongguo was somewhat flattered and immediately handed Qiao Jiaojiao over.

Qiao Jiaojiao curled up in the prince's arms, staring at him with her big eyes without blinking.

[Ah, what a pity! Is this the prince who died young? ]

When these words rang out from their hearts, the two brothers Qiao Zhongguo and Qiao Tianjingdiyi were so frightened that they almost fell to their knees.

die young!?

The prince has always been in good health, how is this possible!

Qiao Jiaojiao was also muttering at this time.

[Alas, the fact that the crown prince died young is still very intriguing. The cause of death was a sudden death overnight without any signs, as if he had naturally given way to Prince Jing when the time came.]

[Although the article does not say that it was written by Prince Jing, I always feel that it is closely related to Prince Jing.]

[After all, the character of the prince is too perfect. If it is stated that Prince Jing killed his brother, readers may not buy it. Prince Jing, as a perfect male protagonist, also has a stain. ]

Qiao Zhongguo was filled with indescribable shock. He looked at the Second Prince calmly.

His Royal Highness the Second Prince, who is usually quiet and ordinary in everything except his appearance, actually hides himself so deeply!

No wonder in the future that Jiaojiao foresaw, their Qiao family would fall into the hands of the second prince.

Now, if it weren’t for Jiaojiao’s reminder, how would he have noticed the Second Prince standing in the shadows!

Qiao Jiaojiao looked at the prince who was like a white moonlight, feeling regretful, and reached out her hand to him.

She is born fair and cute, and is well fed to be round and plump, which is really lovable.

The prince's eyes were gentle, and he actually put his face into her palm.

Qiao Jiaojiao touched him gently and thought to herself:

[Prince, Prince, even if it is for the sake of our Qiao family, you must live well. ]

[Counting on my fingers, there are still four years before you suddenly die. If I, Qiao Jiaojiao, can live to that time, I will definitely do everything I can to save you.]

[When the time comes, you must treat our Qiao family well and protect my father and my two brothers.]

The prince could not hear what Qiao Jiaojiao was thinking, he just felt that these eyes were as bright as pearls, and he was filled with joy.

"Xiao Si, didn't you say you wanted to see the little sister? Come here quickly."

The prince called out softly to the person behind him, and a chubby little boy popped out.

He is the Queen's second son, the Crown Prince's younger brother, and the current Fourth Prince.

The Crown Prince slowly squatted down, and the Fourth Prince immediately came over with a look of curiosity.

[The fourth prince? ]

For a moment, Qiao Jiaojiao couldn't even remember the existence of such a person.

With a round little head, big eyes and long eyelashes, he looks about four or five years old. He has lost his babyish look, but is still very cute.

"Wow, what a cute sister, brother, I want to hug her too!"

The prince shook his head gently, "Fourth brother, you are still too young, be careful not to hurt Miss Qiao."

Upon hearing this, the Fourth Prince pouted his lips in grievance, looking unwilling.

[Where did this naive person come from? Is there such a person in the royal family? ] Qiao Jiaojiao was full of questions.

"Brother, I will be very careful. Please let me hug you too!" The naive girl was still insisting.

The prince looked slightly stern when he saw this, "Fourth brother, this is not a joke. You can wait until you are older."

The silly and sweet girl's mouth slightly drooped, "When will Xiao Si be old enough?"

The Crown Prince's stern expression suddenly disappeared, and he freed his hand to rub the Fourth Prince's head affectionately.

"By the time you celebrate your birthday next year during the Dragon Boat Festival, you will be old enough."

The silly girl burst into laughter upon hearing this, "Then Xiao Si will wait a little longer, when he grows up he can hug his sister!"

Qiao Jiaojiao felt a flash of lightning pass through her mind, and she finally remembered who this so-called Fourth Prince was!

[Isn't this the passerby B who is destined to die young like me? ]

[On his fifth birthday, which was also the Dragon Boat Festival, the fourth prince drowned in the imperial garden, which directly hit the queen so hard that she became seriously ill and the crown prince was heartbroken.]

[After losing his beloved son, the emperor was furious and held everyone responsible. Nearly a hundred people in the palace were executed. Later, when he was recruiting palace maids and eunuchs, Prince Jing took the opportunity to cram in a lot of people.]

[That’s right, it’s this unlucky guy, the ruthless plot tool! ]

When Qiao Zhongguo heard this, he felt numb, completely numb.

The crown prince died young, the fourth prince died in infancy, and the third prince is disabled. Isn't this God paving the way for the second prince?

Next year's Dragon Boat Festival...

During the Dragon Boat Festival every year, the palace would hold a dragon boat banquet, and the Qiao family should also be in the palace at that time.

No matter what, the Fourth Prince must be saved!

Qiao Jiaojiao didn't know that her appearance had frightened Qiao Zhongguo so many times.

At this time, Qiao Jiaojiao's face turned red and she could no longer hold it in.

[Ahhh! I have to pee! Wuuwuwu, I can’t hold it anymore! ]

Qiao Zhongguo's expression changed slightly. Just as he was about to speak when he took Qiao Jiaojiao, her pants were already wet.

“Eh——”

Just as the Fourth Prince was about to exclaim in disgust, the Crown Prince stopped him.

"Xiao Si, don't make fun of your sister. You used to be like this too."

The Fourth Prince's face suddenly turned red, and he covered his face and dared not speak.

Qiao Zhongguo took Qiao Jiaojiao and said in panic: "My daughter is so rude and offended His Royal Highness the Crown Prince. Please -"

The prince waved his hand, with no expression of anger on his face.

"Master Qiao, the child is like this. No need to say more. I will go change my clothes."

Qiao Zhongguo immediately arranged for someone to follow and serve her, holding the wet Qiao Jiaojiao in his arms, not knowing whether to laugh or cry.

It's really unprecedented that someone peed on His Royal Highness the Crown Prince when they first met.

Qiao Jiaojiao: (?ω? *)

I'm still just a baby now!
