After a while, Han Yaxian had suppressed her shyness, her face was serious, and she nodded slightly.

"Since you trust me so much, I will give it a try."

Qiao Tianjing got the accurate information and was very grateful to Han Yaxian.

"Then let's set it under the willow tree next to the three pavilions in the eastern suburbs, how about that?"

"good."

Han Yaxian nodded again, and silence fell between the two.

Qiao Tianjing seemed to hear his own rapid heartbeat again, and he suddenly said stupidly:

"This hairpin suits you very well."

Han Yaxian subconsciously raised her hand and touched the hairpin in her hair.

The next moment, both of them felt their faces flushed and turned around.

"Then...it's settled then." Qiao Tianjing said awkwardly.

"Yeah." Han Yaxian responded quickly.

Qiao Tianjing couldn't stay any longer, he left in a hurry, even his neck was covered in red.

He chose that hairpin carefully.

That was the first time in his life that he chose a gift for a woman. He chose again and again very carefully.

He put the hairpin into the betrothal gift to the Han family, but he didn't expect Miss Han to pick it out and wear it on her head today.

This feeling is hard to describe. It was as if the thoughtfulness I had prepared was appreciated. My heart was filled with sweetness and my steps became lighter unconsciously.

Han Yaxian heard the footsteps receding behind her and couldn't help but turn around and take a quick look, her heart pounding.

This fool.

Who would give a bamboo hairpin with small words engraved on it as a betrothal gift? It's obviously his work.

Miss Han couldn't help but stroke the hairpin on her head, feeling indescribably sweet.

Qiao Jiaojiao had a deep sleep and felt refreshed when she woke up.

Nanny Liu wiped Qiao Jiaojiao's face considerately, combed her hair into two small buns again, and then carried her to Qiao Diyi's arms.

"Second brother, there is still half an hour before the poetry meeting this afternoon. How about we go for a walk on the riverbank?"

Qiao Tianjing spoke casually and secretly winked at Qiao Diyi.

Qiao Diyi understood what he meant and said, "It would be better to call Brother Shen!"

When the two brothers found the prince carrying Qiao Jiaojiao, the prince was reading a book in the carriage.

Qiao Diyi was carefree and enthusiastic, "Brother Shen, would you like to go out for a walk together?"

The prince smiled and looked at the entire court. Only the second son of the Qiao family dared to be so straightforward in front of him. However, he liked this casual and unrestrained feeling very much.

"Okay."

The prince stepped down from the carriage and, led by Qiao Tianjing, walked eastward along the river bank.

If they really want to chat, the knowledgeable Qiao Tianjing and the prince will get along better.

Qiao Diyi held Qiao Jiaojiao in his arms, looking at the flowers on the roadside and teasing the birds on the trees, making Qiao Jiaojiao giggle.

The prince was originally in a rather depressed mood, but now, as he looked at the spring scenery before him and listened to the carefree laughter of children, his brows and eyes gradually relaxed.

In the distance, they saw a pavilion.

Qiao Tianjing's heart moved slightly, "Your Highness, there is still plenty of time, let's go sit in the pavilion."

The prince had no objection and nodded slowly.

As the four of them reached the pavilion, they suddenly heard soft and thin voices.

Qiao Tianjing's heart skipped a beat and a surge of joy surged up in his heart.

It's her!

As expected, she invited the Xiao sisters to come!

Standing at the position where Qiao Tianjing and the others were, they could not see the person who was speaking because of a big willow tree blocking their view.

Just a corner of the skirt was vaguely visible from behind the tree, and it looked light green in color.

Qiao Jiaojiao was looking around just now, but now she was suddenly startled.

[This... This sounds like the eldest sister-in-law's voice! Wait, that skirt, that color, could it be the eldest daughter of the Xiao family? ]

The prince had already made a gesture to keep quiet, signaling Qiao Tianjing and Qiao Diyi to leave with him.

But when he inadvertently glanced at the hem of the skirt, his steps paused slightly.

Just at this moment, a soft voice sounded.

"Miss Han, I haven't congratulated you yet. I heard that you found a good husband."

When Qiao Jiaojiao heard this, her eyes lit up completely.

[She is really the eldest daughter of the Xiao family! ]

I heard her talking to the second young lady of the Xiao family on horseback before, and it was exactly this tone of voice!

When Qiao Tianjing heard this, his face turned slightly red.

He couldn't help but wonder what her expression was at this moment.

"Ms. Xiao, even you are teasing me." Han Yaxian's shy voice sounded.

"Miss Han, I like your personality very much, so I'll call you Sister Han. I'm not kidding you. I think all the ladies in the capital are envious of you."

"The Qiao family has a clean and upright family tradition. You can tell at first glance that they are a very good family."

Xiao Qianlan's voice sounded slowly, her tone gentle and refreshing.

Han Yaxian estimated that the time agreed upon with Qiao Tianjing was almost up, so she turned the topic to Xiao Qianlan as they had agreed in the peach forest.

"Sister Xiao, you are the descendant of a military family, you are of noble status, and you are also known as the most beautiful woman in the capital. To be honest, I really don't know if there is any man in the capital who can be compared to you."

"Miss Han is right! My sister is the best woman in the world. I don't think there is anyone in the whole capital who is worthy of her!"

A hearty voice suddenly interrupted. It was the voice of Xiao Qianyue, the second young lady of the Xiao family.

"Sister, stop talking nonsense!"

Xiao Qianlan stopped Xiao Qianyue a little harshly, and then her tone softened.

"Sister Han, you can't say that. This matter is up to our parents."

Han Yaxian also knew that she was being rude, and she would never say such inappropriate words on a normal day.

But Qiao Lang said that the matter was of great importance, so she had to be disliked for once.

So she quietly straightened her face, took Xiao Qianlan's hand and said:

"Sister Xiao, please don't think I'm meddling in your business. I just heard some gossip at the poetry gathering this morning and I'm worried that it might damage your reputation."

Upon hearing this, Xiao Qianlan couldn't help but frown.

After this contact, she knew that Han Yaxian was a very sensible and well-educated woman, so she felt somewhat close to her.

She guessed that Han Yaxian had no ill intentions, so she nodded slightly, "Sister Han, please speak."

Han Yaxian took a deep breath, and seemed to find it difficult to speak. After a long while, she asked hesitantly, "Sister Xiao, do you know Mr. Sheng from the Duke of Qing's Mansion?"

When the prince heard them talking about private matters, he was about to turn around and leave.

When he heard this, his heart skipped a beat. He knew eavesdropping was not a gentlemanly act, but he couldn't move a step.

Qiao Jiaojiao's heart beat faster than the prince's!

[Oh my god, how could my sister-in-law be so supportive! Is this God's arrangement, to let the prince and Miss Xiao resolve their misunderstandings and finally get married? ]

[That’s great! No melodramatic love stories, it’s best if everything goes smoothly! ]

When Qiao Tianjing heard this, he raised the corner of his mouth calmly.

Everything depends on human effort——
