Chapter 444: Shen Yuanjing's Transparency



When Mrs. Qiao heard the voice, she hurriedly got out of the car holding Jiaojiao and bowed.

"Your Highness pays respect to Prince Jing."

Jiaojiao followed suit and bowed. Before she raised her head, a bony hand had already reached out in front of her and gave her a light support.

"Mrs. Qiao, you don't have to be so polite."

The voice was gentle and very polite.

Jiaojiao couldn't help but look up when she heard that, and saw the young man wearing a white brocade robe and a sky blue cloak.

He has a handsome face and slightly pale lips. He looks like a green willow that has just sprouted. Although it cannot withstand the wind and frost, it is full of vitality.

Jiaojiao's eyes couldn't help but brighten up when she saw this, because Shen Yuanjing was much better than the frail man she remembered.

[It has been a year and a half since I last used the "Disease-Removing Talisman". The quality of the products produced in the mall is impeccable, so the Third Prince's weakness should be almost cured, right? ]

Jiaojiao thought secretly in her heart, and then she gave Shen Yuanjing a sweet smile.

Shen Yuanjing was slightly stunned when he saw this, then he raised the corner of his mouth and nodded at Jiaojiao.

He was waiting here on purpose just to meet Miss Qiao.

Ever since Miss Qiao injected a magical power into his body a year and a half ago, his body has gradually become more relaxed.

First, his qi and blood gradually became sufficient, and then the convulsions gradually stopped. Today, he has experienced an unprecedented sense of lightness.

Especially this autumn, when the seasons changed, it was the first time he did not catch a cold.

My mother and my second sister prayed to the Bodhisattva several times for this, and they all said that good things had come to him and that it was God's blessing.

Only he knew that he was indeed blessed by God, but this "God" was Miss Qiao in front of him.

He could not express his gratitude for this great favor because it was obvious that Miss Qiao was trying her best to hide her special abilities and she never seemed to have thought about getting anything in return from him.

He had heard that Miss Qiao was going to accompany Lord Qiao on a diplomatic mission to Nanli. By then, he was already in much better health, so he asked Fu'an to harness the carriage and go to the city gate to see Miss Qiao off from a distance.

When he went to pay his respects to the Empress Dowager and his mother today, he heard that Madam Qiao would bring Miss Qiao to the palace in the afternoon, so he waited here on purpose just to meet his benefactor.

But now that he was standing in front of Miss Qiao, he seemed unable to do anything.

Mrs. Qiao was holding Jiaojiao and was about to say goodbye to Shen Yuanjing when she heard a joyful voice behind her:

"Master's wife! Sister Qiao!"

Jiaojiao looked over Shen Yuanjing's shoulder and saw Xiao Si rushing towards them with brisk steps and a look of joy on his face.

"Ah! Third brother is here too!"

Xiao Si stood beside Shen Yuanjing and spoke to him in a very intimate manner.

When Shen Yuanjing saw Xiao Si, he couldn't help but frown, "Fourth brother, you actually came out to welcome him?"

Xiao Si felt a little embarrassed when he heard this. When he heard that his master's wife and Sister Qiao had arrived at the palace gate, he hurried out.

"Third brother, please come back with us to Yikun Palace. It just so happens that Queen Jing and Second Sister are here."

Shen Yuanjing smiled and shook his head when he heard this. "Third brother, I won't go. I still need to go to the Tzu Chi Bureau to have a look. Fourth brother, you can take Mrs. Qiao and Miss Qiao in."

When Jiaojiao heard the words "Tzu Chi Bureau", she tilted her head in surprise.

Xiao Si nodded with some regret after hearing this, "Okay, then Xiao Si will not disturb Third Brother's work."

Shen Yuanjing reached out and rubbed Xiao Si's head, then nodded to Mrs. Qiao, and finally looked at Jiaojiao deeply before turning and leaving.

"Master's wife, let Xiao Si take Sister Qiao away, okay?"

Xiao Si looked at Mrs. Qiao pitifully and eagerly.

Now Sister Qiao is still young, so he doesn't need to be particular. But in a few years when Sister Qiao is older, he will have to avoid suspicion.

Thinking of this, Xiao Si felt very sad.

Mrs. Qiao knew that Xiao Si was very clingy, so she smiled and nodded when she heard that.

Jiaojiao had no objection, as she just wanted to ask about Shen Yuanjing's recent situation.

As soon as her feet touched the ground, Xiao Si held her hand and said with concern:

"If Sister Qiao can't walk anymore, just tell Xiao Si. Xiao Si can carry Sister Qiao on his back."

The two little figures walked side by side inside, and Mrs. Qiao followed behind them with a gentle look in her eyes.

"Xiao Si, I just heard from your third brother that he is going to the Tzu Chi Bureau?" Jiaojiao asked curiously.

Xiao Si nodded. The fact that Sister Qiao saved Third Brother was a little secret between them.

"Third brother has been getting better over the past year. I am very happy and want to arrange some things for him to do. After all, he is more energetic when he is more active."

"But the third brother was not interested in government affairs and still never attended court. Finally, under the insistence of his elder brother, the third brother took the initiative to speak up and took over the Tzu Chi Bureau."

"I heard that my third brother has been to the South Suburbs' orphanage several times recently. It seems that he wants to merge the two places to set up a 'Salesman's Office' to provide a place for homeless children."

"My elder brother is very supportive of this matter and told my third brother to just go for it. I think the Salesian Bureau will be able to start operating in due time."

When Jiaojiao heard this, she immediately felt very happy.

"That's great! If your third brother is in charge of this matter, I think those children will be well taken care of!"

In fact, behind this matter, Jiaojiao could vaguely see Shen Yuanjing's good intentions.

He rejected Shen Yuanzhan's invitation and never joined the court. It was probably to make his intention clear to Shen Yuanzhan that he had no interest in power and just wanted to be a leisurely prince.

He is really a very transparent person.

Jiaojiao was feeling filled with emotion when Xiaosi suddenly squatted down in front of her.

"Sister Qiao, we still have a long way to go. Let Xiao Si carry you!"

Seeing that Xiaosi was ready, Jiaojiao didn't hesitate and just lay down. Xiaosi held Jiaojiao up and helped her stand up swiftly, shaking her up skillfully.

Jiaojiao had a smile on her face. She was in a good mood at the moment. She stretched out her hand towards the palace in front of her and said loudly, "The target is Yikun Palace. Xiao Si, let's go!"

"Okay!"

Xiao Si grinned and suddenly started running.

When Mrs. Qiao saw this, she called out with some concern, "Xiao Si, slow down!"

"Master's wife, don't worry. Xiao Si's steps are steady!"

Xiao Si turned his head and made a promise, then started running on the empty palace road.

Jiaojiao held Xiaosi's shoulders tightly. She straightened her upper body, swayed with Xiaosi's steps, and couldn't help laughing.

Xiao Si felt the weight on his back, and his heart began to lift. He then laughed out loud with joy.

The palace maids and eunuchs nearby saw this scene and leaned against the wall to avoid the two little ancestors. Only the innocent laughter could be heard echoing on the palace road, flying over the red walls and green tiles, and gradually fading away.
