Qiao Jiaojiao turned her head and looked over, only to see a girl in a fiery red dress sitting on a horse with her hand raised, beside the riverbank not far away.

Her eyes are bright, her cheeks are rosy, and her brows are full of heroism.

The most precious thing is the happy smile on the girl’s face, which is more dazzling than the peach blossoms behind her!

Even though today was a poetry gathering, the girl was still dressed in a neat riding outfit and looked full of life and vivacious.

Qiao Jiaojiao looked in the direction where the girl raised her hand, and this time she was almost blinded.

I saw another girl riding a snow-white pony, slowly walking towards this side.

She wore a white jade hairpin on her head and a green jade pendant on her waist. The lines of her face were graceful and soft. Her skirt lifted slightly in the spring breeze. Her eyebrows were smoky and her skin was as white as jade. She was definitely a first-class beauty!

The red-dressed girl's flamboyant voice also attracted the attention of others, and someone immediately revealed the identities of the two girls.

"Aren't those the two daughters of the General of the Cavalry?"

"That's right, the one in green is the eldest lady Xiao Qianlan, and the one in red is the second lady Xiao Qianyue!"

"I heard that Xiao Qianlan is known as the most beautiful woman in the capital. Seeing her today, it is true that her reputation is well-deserved!"

"Hey, brother, if we talk about the most beautiful woman in the capital, it should be Sheng Xiuran from the Duke of Qing's Mansion, right?"

"Yeah?"

"Sheng Xiuran will definitely be here today. We'll know when we compete again."

Everyone was talking excitedly, and when Qiao Jiaojiao heard it, she immediately forgot about her own affairs.

Anyway, you are still a long way from being three years old, so it’s right to enjoy life while you can!

[Ahhh! The Xiao sisters are here! My silly second brother, do you see that? That’s my second sister-in-law!]

Qiao Jiaojiao jumped excitedly in the prince's arms, turned around and said to the prince:

[Prince, Prince Bai Yueguang, your sweetheart is here! That’s your concubine! ]

Qiao Diyi didn't need Qiao Jiaojiao to remind him, he was already stunned!

There are countless women in the capital, but Qiao Diyi has never been too lazy to take a second look at any of them.

There was no other reason. The ladies from wealthy families were all weak and fragile, and they all looked frail. He had rough hands and feet, and was really afraid that he would break their hands accidentally.

But the girl in front of him was full of vitality, sitting on the horse with skillful movements and heroic spirit, which completely captured Qiao Diyi's heart that had never been moved!

Miss Xiao Er...

My younger sister calls her second sister-in-law!

At this moment, Qiao Diyi couldn't help but feel overjoyed.

In comparison, the prince is much more reserved.

He has always known that there are two candidates for the position of Crown Princess. One is Sheng Xiuran, the eldest daughter of the Duke of Qing, and the other is the eldest daughter of the Xiao family who lives not far away.

The Queen favors Miss Xiao, so the Prince privately prefers the Xiao family more.

However, the selection of the Crown Princess is related to the destiny of the country, and the Crown Prince did not dare to get too involved in personal feelings. But when he saw Miss Xiao at this time, his eyes lit up.

"Little sister, wait for me!"

Xiao Qianlan felt a headache when she saw Xiao Qianyue pulling the rope and trying to let the horse go again.

Before going out, mother repeatedly warned her not to let her little sister play too wildly, but her little sister had a wild temper, how could she control her?

There was nothing I could do but play along with her.

Thinking of this, Xiao Qianlan kicked the horse's belly lightly and galloped away, leaving a green shadow in the wind.

When Qiao Jiaojiao saw this, her eyes lit up instantly and her face was full of longing.

[Wow, Miss Xiao looks quiet, but she is actually very good at horse riding! She is good at both movement and stillness, no wonder Prince Bai Yueguang is also attracted by her! ]

Thinking of this, Qiao Jiaojiao looked at the prince with a mischievous look on her face.

The prince had just withdrawn his gaze calmly when he saw Qiao Jiaojiao staring at him with a sly smile.

The prince couldn't help but smile, "You little brat, what are you laughing at?"

Qiao Jiaojiao snorted softly.

[You were peeking at Miss Xiao, I saw it all! ]

[Alas, I hope the Queen can convince the Emperor to let Miss Xiao be the Crown Princess. ]

[Otherwise, the Spring Examination cheating case that the Duke of Qing's Mansion was involved in could be exposed. After committing such a serious crime, their family will not be able to occupy the position of Crown Princess. ]

After hearing this, Qiao Tianjing agreed deeply.

Fortunately, he and his father have already started planning. If the Duke of Qing really dares to use the Spring Examination to commit corruption and enrich himself, his father will definitely skin him alive!

As for Qiao Diyi, don’t even mention him, his soul has already drifted away with Miss Xiao Er.

The poetry reading officially began at 9:00 pm, and now the time is almost up.

Seeing this, the prince did not delay any longer and quickened his pace while holding Qiao Jiaojiao.

Passing through a forest of peach blossoms in various shapes and sizes, a large open space specially cleared for the purpose comes into view.

An exquisite platform was built on the north side of the open space, on which a desk, writing brush, ink, paper and inkstone were already prepared.

There are many stone tables and cushions placed scattered under the stage, emphasizing casualness.

The prince has participated in it several times and knows the rules.

Poetry gatherings in the capital city make no distinction between men and women, seniority or closeness, and everything is decided based on literary talent and poetic ability.

Although everyone can't help but flatter the powerful and bully the weak in secret, on the surface, there is always harmony.

The young men and women who arrived early tacitly emptied the first few stone tables.

Qiao Jiaojiao took a quick look and saw that the male protagonist had arrived!

He sat in the second seat from the left, with his eyes lowered, wondering what he was thinking about.

He was born with a stunning appearance, and attracted almost everyone's attention just by sitting there. The situation did not change slightly until the prince arrived.

Qiao Jiaojiao suddenly thought of the heroine Meng Guxue.

She was so busy looking at the beauties that she almost forgot about the heroine!

Qiao Jiaojiao looked around carefully on the right and finally saw Meng Guxue sitting on the edge!

She is only ten years old this year, so it is a little early for her to attend the poetry reading. Moreover, she has not grown up yet. Among the beautiful ladies, she is too inconspicuous.

No one would notice her except Qiao Jiaojiao.

Meng Guxue was seen leaning to the left with her mouth slightly open, her face full of naked surprise.

Her eyes were fixed on the second prince on the left!

When Qiao Jiaojiao saw this, she couldn't help but feel a little confused.

[Looking at Meng Guxue's astonished look, why does it feel like she is meeting Prince Jing for the first time? ]

[Or, in Meng Guxue's eyes, Prince Jing is so handsome that every encounter is as stunning as the first time they met? ]

When her thoughts reached this point, Qiao Jiaojiao suddenly felt a sharp pain in her teeth.

In the original novel, there are too many descriptions of the disgusting plots after the hero and heroine get together.

From big things like staying in bed for three days and three nights without being satisfied to small things like wiping each other's mouths after eating, Qiao Jiaojiao couldn't help herself and even skipped while watching.

Ultimately it's because the author's writing skills are not good enough. Even such a handsome face of Prince Jing makes her write it look greasy.

No matter how Qiao Jiaojiao complained, today was indeed the first time Meng Guxue met the Second Prince.

And at just one glance, she was completely conquered!
