Several people walked forward together. The Fourth Prince no longer looked at the lanterns and focused all his attention on Qiao Jiaojiao.
He talked to Qiao Jiaojiao for a while, and then made faces, but Qiao Jiaojiao ignored him.
[Sister-in-law! My sweet and soft sister-in-law, where are you! ]
[I searched for him among the crowd for hundreds of times, and when I turned around, he was standing in the dimly lit place! Where is this dimly lit place? ]
Qiao Tianjing was so tense from being muttered by Qiao Jiaojiao that he sighed in his mind when he heard her utter a word:
My little sister has such outstanding literary talent?
"Hurry, hurry! The activity in Caifeng Building has started!"
"It is said that a large platform was set up, and the person sitting on it is Mr. Gu Qianshan, one of the famous scholars!"
"Lottery! What's the lottery today?"
"It's a rare colored lantern that spins around when it lights up!"
Suddenly, cheers broke out in the crowd, and then everyone rushed in one direction like mud flowing into the sea.
"Be careful! Protect the two young masters!"
The palace guards were instantly alert and formed a circle to protect the Crown Prince and the Fourth Prince.
Seeing Qiao Jiaojiao being swept away by the crowd, the Fourth Prince shouted anxiously, "Sister! I want my sister!"
The prince saw this and shouted, "Protect the young master and young lady of the Qiao family!"
Qiao Diyi is a martial arts expert with a very stable frame. No matter how the crowd pushed at him, he still held Qiao Jiaojiao tightly, standing still like a mountain.
Although Qiao Tianjing was a scholar, he had been following Qiao Zhongguo to keep fit, and now he was standing firmly.
Just at this moment, an anxious cry came from the side: "Miss! Be careful!"
Qiao Tianjing turned his head and saw a girl in green being pushed by the crowd and falling straight towards the lantern stall nearby.
He didn't think too much at this moment. He decisively squeezed past the two people in front of him, grabbed the girl's wrist, and pulled her up.
The girl bumped into him slightly before she could stand still. She looked up in panic, her eyes red and full of fear.
"Thank you very much!"
The girl was full of gratitude, but was slightly stunned the next moment.
She didn't expect to meet such a beautiful and gentle face.
The young man has outstanding features and a graceful demeanor, and is truly a handsome gentleman.
Qiao Tianjing only felt a sweet fragrance coming from his nose, and then it fell into a pair of watery eyes.
The girl still had some lingering fear on her face, but her beauty and calmness could not be concealed.
He still held the girl's wrist in his hand, and the crowd pushed them closer.
Qiao Tianjing suddenly reacted, quickly let go, stood up straight, turned his head slightly, and dared not look again.
"Miss, this is an emergency, please forgive me if I have offended you."
The girl blushed and turned her head to the other side, humming softly. The faint scent of pine and cypress penetrated her nostrils.
Qiao Tianjing's heart was beating very fast, and he couldn't help looking for Qiao Jiaojiao in the crowd.
Because he really wanted to know whether the person in front of him was Miss Han, and whether she was his future...wife?
The crowd slowly passed by, and the surroundings instantly became much more relaxed.
Qiao Jiaojiao noticed with her sharp eyes that Qiao Tianjing was standing opposite a young girl.
Her throat suddenly rose.
[Second brother, go over and see if the eldest brother has saved the eldest sister-in-law! ]
When Qiao Diyi saw that this was related to his eldest brother's lifelong event, he took big steps and walked to Qiao Tianjing's side in just three or two steps.
Qiao Jiaojiao raised her eyes and immediately screamed.
[Ahhh! Sister-in-law! It's sister-in-law! Brother, you lived up to my expectations and saved sister-in-law! ]
[Although the plot of a hero saving a beautiful girl is really old-fashioned, I have to say it is still very touching! This is what we call a marriage made in heaven! ]
[Brother, look at how beautiful my sister-in-law is! Oh, why are you still standing there like that? Come on, introduce yourself! Otherwise, how will my sister-in-law know that you saved her!]
Qiao Tianjing's ears turned red with embarrassment at Qiao Jiaojiao's straightforward words.
Qiao Diyi was so impatient that he was afraid that Jiaojiao's favorite sister-in-law would slip away, so he spoke directly:
"Brother, what is this?"
Miss Han came to her senses and bowed hurriedly.
"Thank you for your rescue, sir."
When Miss Han's maid saw that the person in front of her was dressed unusually, she immediately introduced her family's address.
"Thank you, sir. My lady is the daughter of the Minister of Works."
Qiao Tianjing knew that he had not saved the wrong person, and a secret joy began to surge in his heart.
He bowed to Miss Han and said politely, "Miss Han, it's just a small favor. I am the eldest son of the Qiao family."
The eldest son of the Qiao family!
Miss Han's heart moved slightly. There was only one Qiao family in the capital, and she had attended the full moon banquet of Miss Qiao's family some time ago.
Looking at Qiao Jiaojiao standing beside him, she indeed saw some familiarity in his eyes and eyebrows.
"It turns out to be Mr. Qiao, thank you very much."
The slight blush on Miss Han's face had not yet faded, and now it became even more eye-catching.
Because after returning from the full moon banquet last time, she accidentally overheard the conversation between her parents, and the way Mrs. Qiao looked at her seemed... as if she wanted to get married.
When Qiao Jiaojiao saw the lovers blushing, she couldn't help but giggle.
[It is hard for a hero to resist the temptation of a beautiful woman——]
Qiao Diyi: “…”
I know a lot, but why don’t you just tell me? When can he meet the second young lady of the Xiao family?
Although the separation of men and women in the Yong Dynasty was not so strict, young ladies from official families still had to pay attention to their manners and upbringing when they were out.
Miss Han knew that she should not stay for long, so she bowed to Qiao Tianjing and Qiao Diyi respectively.
"Thank you again, Mr. Qiao, for your kindness. We will say goodbye now."
"Miss Han, take care."
Qiao Tianjing watched him go with a smile.
Qiao Jiaojiao looked at Miss Han's back and smiled, but couldn't help but become worried.
[My shy elder brother, you must hurry back and ask your parents to go to the Han Mansion to propose marriage. If you go too late, there will be more trouble.]
When Qiao Tianjing heard this, his heart suddenly jumped, and then he listened to Qiao Jiaojiao continue to reveal the plot.
[Ms. Han is very popular. While you were hesitating, her parents agreed to someone else's proposal!]
When Qiao Diyi heard this, he quickly winked at Qiao Tianjing.
Big brother, did you hear what I said? Go home tonight and tell Mom and Dad about it! If you don't say it, I will say it for you!
You even touched Miss Han's hand! You must be responsible!
Qiao Tianjing's face burned with anger when he heard this, but he still nodded firmly.
My little sister is right, if one family has a daughter, hundreds of families will want her. Now that you have chosen a girl, you should show responsibility and courage!
At this time, the Crown Prince came up from behind holding the Fourth Prince.
He obviously saw what happened just now, and with a smile on his face, he said meaningfully:
"It seems that you are about to get married. The Minister of Works is honest and hardworking. This marriage is a good one."
Qiao Tianjing didn't expect that even the prince would tease him. He couldn't help but shook his head and smiled, "When it comes to marriage, it's up to the parents to decide."
At this time, Qiao Jiaojiao no longer had the mind to pay attention to the conversation between Qiao Tianjing and the prince.
[Brother has saved sister-in-law, today's biggest mission has been completed, it's time for us to join in the fun! ]
[Wow, I really want to go to that Caifeng Building and take a look. The heroine might be showing off like crazy! ]
