Zuo Anning continued to live in the Qiao Mansion for a while.
Qiao Jiaojiao knew that Zuo An Ning was feeling upset, so she often accompanied her, which caused the Fourth Prince to become a little upset.
"Master, why hasn't Sister Qiao come to see Xiao Si recently?"
He held in his hand the wooden spear that Qiao Zhongguo had specially carved for him, and looked at the tall Qiao Zhongguo with his big moist eyes.
Qiao Zhongguo raised his eyebrows. He had no reason to be polite to the Fourth Prince now.
"Why, I worked so hard to teach you martial arts, and you're still thinking about my Jiaojiao?"
The fourth prince nodded honestly, "Master, I like your Jiaojiao the most!"
Qiao Zhongguo: “…”
Is there such an honest child? How can he accept this?
It should be okay to just tell the Fourth Prince to get lost, right?
The Fourth Prince was always good at observing people's expressions. When he saw Qiao Zhongguo's eyes widen, he knew he was going to curse, so he quickly added:
"Master, Xiao Si just feels that when Sister Qiao is around, Xiao Si seems to have endless energy and is full of energy all the time, so I hope Sister Qiao can continue to supervise Xiao Si!"
Qiao Zhongguo snorted when he heard this, "You are so cunning, you even know how to interrupt me!"
"Don't worry, Jiaojiao should come to see me in the afternoon!"
Early this morning, An Ning was picked up by someone sent by her father-in-law.
Half a month passed, and the rumors in the capital had almost died down, and An Ning also wanted to go back as soon as possible to accompany her father-in-law.
When the Fourth Prince heard this, his big eyes suddenly lit up!
"Are you serious? Great! Master, please teach Xiao Si a new set of spear techniques. Xiao Si will demonstrate them to Sister Qiao this afternoon!"
Qiao Zhongguo: “…”
You guys are so excited all of a sudden...
Okay, you want to be tortured, right?
You're still thinking about Jiaojiao at such a young age, I'll scare you to death!
"Stand up straight! Arms up!"
"Don't lift your butt!"
"Yes! Keep it for me!"
.......
Qiao Jiaojiao had a good sleep at noon. In the afternoon, accompanied by Nanny Liu, she stumbled to the back garden step by step. She had to rest several times along the way because of exhaustion.
When she finally reached the corridor, she suddenly heard a loud shout: "Sister Qiao!"
Qiao Jiaojiao looked up and saw the Fourth Prince running down from the wooden stake, walking around the corridor and running straight towards her.
"Sister Qiao! Xiao Si misses you so much!"
The Fourth Prince ran to Qiao Jiaojiao in one go, suddenly squatted down, put his arms around Qiao Jiaojiao's legs, and then picked her up!
"ah!"
Qiao Jiaojiao was so frightened that she screamed.
Nanny Liu was afraid that the Fourth Prince would drop Jiaojiao, so she quickly bent down and stretched out her arms to carefully protect her, saying anxiously:
"Fourth Prince, please be careful! Be careful!"
The fourth prince grinned happily, "Mammy, it's okay! I have much more strength now, I can even hold up two Qiao sisters! Look!"
As he spoke, he hugged Qiao Jiaojiao and turned around.
[Hey, hey, hey! Slow down! ]
Qiao Jiaojiao was so scared that she hugged the Fourth Prince's neck tightly, her eyes wide open.
After the Fourth Prince stood firmly, he shook Qiao Jiaojiao and used the momentum to adjust the position of his hands.
"Sister Qiao, do you feel more comfortable like this? Did Xiao Si strangle you?"
The Fourth Prince looked at Qiao Jiaojiao eagerly, his face filled with joy and a little pride!
During the Dragon Boat Festival palace banquet, Madam Qiao said that he would have to be seven years old before he could pick up his sister Qiao. Now, after nearly two months of training with Master Qiao, he has become very strong!
Look, he is holding Sister Qiao very firmly!
Qiao Jiaojiao twisted it tentatively, and seeing that the Fourth Prince's arms were indeed strong, her tense body gradually softened.
"Little Four!"
Qiao Jiaojiao glared at him angrily.
[You scared me to death just now! I really thought I was going to be knocked down by you! ]
The fourth prince smiled naively at first, then looked aggrieved.
"Who told you, Sister Qiao, not to come and see me for half a month? I missed you so much, Sister Qiao, don't you miss me at all?"
Qiao Jiaojiao: “…”
[Just think about it, okay? Can you put me down first? I still think you can't bear my weight! ]
Unfortunately, she couldn't speak at all, and could only mutter a few words: "Little Four, Little Four, Little Four!"
“Hey hey hey!”
The Fourth Prince responded happily, holding Qiao Jiaojiao and walked forward, around the corridor, and placed Qiao Jiaojiao steadily on the small stool where she usually sat.
"Sister Qiao, just sit here. I've recently started learning how to dance with a gun. I'll show you how to dance!"
The fourth prince said this and picked up the wooden spear leaning against the side. He made a gesture with his hand and his expression became serious.
Qiao Jiaojiao originally wanted to laugh at him, but when she saw his determined and focused eyes, she immediately straightened her expression.
Everyone who works hard deserves respect, especially when they show results!
The Fourth Prince had a solemn expression. He picked up the gun tip, then drew the gun, turned around, and pressed the gun down in one go.
Qiao Jiaojiao was dazzled, she didn't expect the Fourth Prince to have made such rapid progress that he could even dance with a spear like a pro!
The Fourth Prince caught a glimpse of Qiao Jiaojiao's serious expression and felt as if he had endless strength again. He gritted his teeth and decided to try the moves he had just learned this morning.
He took a step, turned around, suddenly fired his gun backwards, and then fell on his buttocks...
Qiao Jiaojiao was so engrossed in watching that she couldn't help but cry out "Ouch!", which immediately made the Fourth Prince on the ground blush with embarrassment.
This time the carbine is too difficult to use. I should not be so proud if I had known this earlier. I will wait until I have practiced it well before showing it to Sister Qiao!
Qiao Jiaojiao stood up unsteadily and walked to the side of the Fourth Prince. When she looked at him, a teasing smile was on her face.
[Hey, look at your red face, are you embarrassed? ]
Although the Fourth Prince could not hear Qiao Jiaojiao's thoughts, when he saw her smile, his face suddenly felt hot and he sat up immediately.
He hesitated for a moment, then raised his head and said confidently, "Sister Qiao, come and see me next time, I will definitely have practiced it well!"
"You...you should forget about what happened today! Forget everything!"
Qiao Jiaojiao couldn't help but giggle when she heard this.
[I have to remember it, and laugh at you when I grow up! ]
The Fourth Prince listened to Qiao Jiaojiao's innocent laughter and looked at her cute little face, and the embarrassment in his heart gradually dissipated.
He couldn't help but think, how nice it was to have Sister Qiao around.
With Sister Qiao around, the July afternoon didn’t seem so hot.
He felt so sweet in his heart, and wished that time would pass more slowly, so that he could stay in the Qiao Mansion for a little longer, and stay with Sister Qiao for a little longer...
“Ahem!”
Qiao Zhongguo coughed twice loudly, which frightened the Fourth Prince so much that he stood up holding his gun.
“Daddy!”
Qiao Jiaojiao greeted him with joy on her face.
Qiao Zhongguo hugged Qiao Jiaojiao lovingly, thinking to himself:
"I just went to drink a bowl of water and see my wife's kung fu, but this brat actually started to show his courtesy in front of Jiaojiao! Practice! Let him practice to death!"
Thinking of this, Qiao Zhongguo carried Qiao Jiaojiao to the shade of the tree and gave the Fourth Prince a stern look.
"Xiao Si, why don't you practice? Have you learned how to use the back-handed attack?"
The fourth prince thought of his embarrassing appearance just now, his face slightly flushed, and he raised his voice to respond: "Disciple will practice now!"
