Qiao Zhongguo looked towards Emperor Yong who was sitting on a high seat, his face full of gratitude and emotion. He pinched his thigh with his big hand under the table, and tears instantly welled up in his eyes!

If it weren't for the wrong occasion, he would have shouted "Your Majesty is wise"!

Emperor Yong met Qiao Zhongguo's earnest, respectful, and convinced gaze, and nodded slightly at him, as if to say:

Don’t worry, my dear. I trust you!

Qiao Jiaojiao watched the interaction between the king and his subject and opened her mouth slightly.

[After all that talk just now, why did I feel that Emperor Yong was a bit handsome? 】

[I have to say, this character is too bifurcated! You say he is a wise ruler, but he is in love. You say he is a foolish ruler, but he is still quite sober at critical moments! ]

[No matter what, the eye drops from the Northern Kingdom will not work tonight! Look at my dad's pitiful and flattered look when he looks at Emperor Yong. Tsk tsk tsk, I feel pity for him!]

Qiao Zhongguo: ???

I never thought in my life that someone would use the four words "pitiful" to describe him!

He is a tough guy! He can act a little bit!

Mrs. Qiao quickly lowered her head and pretended to be busy taking care of Qiao Jiaojiao's short hair.

There was no way, she followed Jiaojiao's thoughts and imagined her husband's pitiful look, it was really funny!

She couldn't let others see the corners of her mouth turn up!

After Che Hebi sat down obediently, the singing and dancing outside the hall came in.

Everyone took this opportunity to eat a little to fill their stomachs.

Baili Chengyou sat behind the desk, drinking casually by himself.

He saw the interaction between Emperor Yong and Che Hebi just now, and was a little surprised.

When I was in Nanli Country, everything happening around me was exactly the same as in my dream.

Whether it was the eldest brother indulging in women or the second brother secretly plotting to seize power, it was all in sync with the dream.

So this time, he took the initiative and laid a big net in the country, waiting for the eldest brother and the second brother to fight to a draw, and then he would reap the benefits.

However, the situation in Yong State was far different from what was in the dream.

The invincible Shen Yuanbai in the dream was actually confined to the clan house, and Meng Guxue, the woman he originally loved but could not get, was not with Shen Yuanbai!

What kind of opportunities and interference led to such a big change in the situation in the Yong Dynasty?

Baili Chengyou drank another glass of wine, his eyes full of interest.

Suddenly, he became interested and leaned back slightly to look at Meng Guxue who was sitting below.

When he entered the hall just now, he looked around the hall.

Everyone looked at him subconsciously, but she didn't even raise her head.

He dressed up so "flashy" today, isn't she curious at all?

As Baili Chengyou made a small arc movement, the bell on his headband made a crisp sound.

The gossipy Qiao Jiaojiao was instantly attracted. Seeing Baili Chengyou looking for Meng Guxue, she couldn't help but get excited.

[Ahhh! Isn't it wrong to knock on everything? ]

[But, I used to like the deep affectionate character of the male second who couldn’t get the love he wanted, and now I can’t help but feel a little bit attracted to him! ]

[It is estimated that Baili Chengyou will stage a blatant marriage proposal today. Can Meng Guxue control herself? ]

Qiao Jiaojiao's little eyes are already shining quietly!

On the other side, Meng Guxue was in agony.

She thought a lot last night, but unfortunately there was no one to ask for advice.

In fact, ever since Baili Chengyou entered the venue, she had been paying attention to the faint sound of the bell.

However, she was unwilling to show her feelings in front of Baili Chengyou, and even more unwilling to show her cowardice, so she simply turned a blind eye.

Baili Chengyou saw Meng Guxue's profile, raised the corners of his mouth slightly, and withdrew his gaze with satisfaction.

No rush.

Wait until Shen Yuanbai arrives, it won’t be too late to start the show!

Qiao Jiaojiao noticed Baili Chengyou's expression and her face was also full of interest.

In fact, if Baili Chengyou wants to marry Meng Guxue, the best time would be to act before the second prince shows up.

However, she could still understand Baili Chengyou's mood a little.

After all, he is such a proud man. He had already lost to Shen Yuanbai in his dream. Now he just refuses to believe it and has to compete with Shen Yuanbai before he will give up!

This scene of "sitting on the mountain and watching tigers fight" really requires the right time, place and people!

After the singing and dancing, it was time to present gifts and celebrate the birthday.

The first person to offer blessings was the Empress who was sitting next to Emperor Yong.

Ever since the Fourth Prince fell into the water, the Queen has completely lost her heart towards Emperor Yong.

But now the overall situation is still unsettled, the Queen had to continue to pretend to be accommodating, and she was also very attentive in giving Emperor Yong's longevity gift.

Emperor Yong was in a happy mood. He had just spoken harshly to Che Hebi, but now he looked in a good mood and in high spirits.

Afterwards, the prince presented gifts, and Emperor Yong was gentle and approachable, praising the prince sincerely.

After the Crown Prince, according to order, the one who should present the gifts should be the Second Prince.

But Emperor Yong did not say anything, and everyone followed suit and pretended to be deaf and dumb. At this moment, everyone seemed to have tacitly forgotten the existence of the Second Prince.

The third prince walked up to Emperor Yong after the crown prince. Concubine Jing and the second princess both nervously twisted the handkerchiefs in their hands.

Some time ago, the eldest princess was sent to the palace, and Concubine Wan was demoted. Concubine Jing naturally became the first person under the Queen Mother.

She was secretly proud in her heart, as the Third Prince was the only one who was worried.

Thinking of this, Concubine Jing prayed silently in her heart, hoping that her disappointing son would not embarrass her at such a critical moment!

The Second Princess and the Third Prince are connected in heart. Compared to Concubine Jing who is worried about her own face, the Second Princess is more worried about the Third Prince's health.

Seeing the Third Prince kneeling and kowtow to Emperor Yong, the Second Princess' heart rose to her throat.

On the night of the Dragon Boat Festival last year, my brother suddenly fell ill.

Since then, my brother's worries seemed to get worse. He frowned and looked worried all day long.

Especially when the Crown Prince came to visit, he hesitated several times to speak, and she saw it all.

Privately, she once asked her brother if he had any concerns that she could share with him.

But her brother just touched her head very gently and said some confusing words.

"Sister, I am useless. I don't want to fight for anything. I just hope to live peacefully with you and mother."

When the second princess thought of this, she felt extremely sad.

God was so unfair to her brother. Sometimes she even wished that she was the one who was born weak.

In this way, my brother can be as energetic as all the other young men and gallop on horseback with them.

If she was born with a deficiency, her brother would have done everything he could to protect her, instead of being so incompetent as she is, unable to share his worries at all...

The third prince knelt in front of Emperor Yong, suppressed all his thoughts, and said the auspicious words that he had practiced countless times.

When he raised his head, he saw a very warm smile on Emperor Yong's face for the first time.

"The third brother looks much better."

The third prince felt warmed at heart when he heard this.

That's good enough...

Once he got involved in the fight between his two royal brothers, with his weak body, he would not be able to protect his mother and sister.

The eldest brother is in a very good situation now. I believe he will be able to firmly sit on the position of crown prince and succeed to the throne.

Hopefully, everything goes well...
