Because of what happened at noon, the prince lost the interest in continuing to attend the poetry meeting.

"Let's stop here today."

As soon as the prince said this, Han Yaxian and the Xiao sisters bowed and left.

Qiao Jiaojiao glanced at the six people present and suddenly realized that there were exactly three pairs of C in front of her!

Seeing the three young ladies leaving leisurely, Qiao Jiaojiao couldn't help but cover her mouth and laugh.

[It is said that spring is the season when love blossoms, and it is absolutely true. The three of them lost their souls! ]

Qiao Tianjing was thin-skinned and was the first to look away.

Qiao Diyi was very frank. Although she was not my wife yet, she would become my wife eventually!

Prince: Go back and discuss with mother, and we can decide on the candidate for the Crown Princess.

Because they left halfway through the poetry reading, the way back was smooth. As soon as Qiao Jiaojiao got home, she threw herself into Mrs. Qiao's sweet and soft arms.

She sat in Mrs. Qiao's arms, dancing and babbling about the interesting things that happened today. Although she knew that Mrs. Qiao could not understand what she was saying at all, it did not affect her sharing of the joy.

[Mom, you don’t know, I met my eldest sister-in-law today! I also met the two elder sisters of the Xiao family, one of them is the prince’s concubine, and the other is my second sister-in-law! ]

Mrs. Qiao's eyes were curved with a smile, and she hugged Qiao Jiaojiao and listened with great interest.

In this way, the candidate for the Crown Princess should be decided, which would also fulfill the Queen's wish.

As a mother, Mrs. Qiao can empathize with the Queen's feelings for the Prince. Isn't she also very concerned about her eldest son's marriage?

By the way, it’s time to set the date for the boss’ wedding.

Three days later, Mrs. Yang came happily.

"Hey, I heard that my sister has chosen a date?"

Mrs. Qiao greeted them with a smile, "Sister, I have chosen it. September 10th, I calculated it and it is the best day! I would also like to trouble you to bring this wedding date to the Han family."

Madam Yang was very happy for her sister. "Okay, okay. Don't forget to have the newlyweds toast me, the matchmaker, with a glass of wine."

Mrs. Qiao held Mrs. Yang's hand affectionately, "Needless to say! Not only that, my husband and I would also like to toast my sister with a glass of wine!"

Madam Yang waved her hands repeatedly when she heard this. "Forget about your guy. I am not qualified to drink the wine he offers me! Okay, just wait for my good news!"

In the afternoon, Madam Yang asked someone to bring the news, and the Han family agreed!

Mrs. Qiao was extremely happy. These days, apart from taking care of Qiao Jiaojiao, she was also preparing a generous betrothal gift for her future daughter-in-law.

The date for the engagement is the tenth day of August. Although there seems to be plenty of time, there are so many things to prepare that Mrs. Qiao is very busy.

Time passed quickly and it was the day before the announcement of the results of the Spring Examination. Qiao Jiaojiao also became nervous.

Qiao Zhongguo knew that Qiao Jiaojiao was always thinking about him, so the first thing he mentioned when he entered the door was Tan Hanchi.

"Ma'am, the eldest and second sons won't be home for dinner tonight."

Mrs. Qiao looked up in puzzlement, "What's wrong? Do you have any social engagements?"

After the couple had been intimate last night, Mrs. Qiao leaned in Qiao Zhongguo's arms and mentioned Qiao Jiaojiao.

"Husband, Jiaojiao has been talking about Tan Hanchi recently. Is everything okay over there?"

Qiao Zhongguo wiped the sweat off his wife's forehead and said with a smile:

"Don't worry, Madam. Everything is ready. But we can't let Jiaojiao worry like this all the time."

"How about this, we will reveal it to Jiaojiao tomorrow so that she can feel at ease."

So we have this scene now.

Qiao Zhongguo nodded, "Tomorrow is the day when the results of the Spring Examination will be announced. The two brothers said they went to congratulate the student named Tan in advance, and I'm afraid they won't be able to return home until late at night."

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

[That’s great! God is really helping our Qiao family! Second brother’s martial arts are so strong. If the people from Duke Qing dare to take action, second brother will definitely be able to protect Tan Hanchi! ]

[Thank God, this is the best possible outcome. Even if Tan Hanchi eventually goes to Prince Jing's side, given his current friendship with his two brothers, he will surely not plot against the Qiao Mansion.]

When Qiao Zhongguo and Mrs. Qiao saw Qiao Jiaojiao's happy look, they looked at each other secretly and couldn't help but smile in tacit understanding.

On the other side, Qiao Tianjing and Qiao Diyi had already asked Tan Hanchi out.

It was not a prestigious restaurant, but just an affordable eatery frequented by students taking the exam, which made Tan Hanchi feel particularly comfortable.

Qiao Tianjing and Qiao Diyi were taught by Qiao Zhongguo since they were young. Not only did they have to eat in such delicious restaurants, but in order to train the two brothers, Qiao Zhongguo even let them eat leftovers and tree bark.

Tan Hanchi admired Qiao Tianjing's literary talent and ability very much, and Qiao Diyi was a bold and unrestrained person. The friendship between the three was indeed very good.

"Brother Tan, the results will be announced tomorrow, and I would like to congratulate you first!"

Tan Hanchi waved his hands repeatedly, "The results haven't come out yet, it's too early for Brother Qiao to say that."

Qiao Tianjing shook his head seriously, "I have seen Brother Tan's literary talent. The court should not miss out on a talent like you."

These are Qiao Tianjing's heartfelt words.

If it weren't for Duke Qing's interference, Tan Hanchi would not have become just a shady counselor beside the Second Prince.

With his talents and sense of justice, he will shine in the court and plead for the people wholeheartedly.

In fact, Tan Hanchi was also confident in his article. What he said just now was just modesty. Now that he saw Qiao Tianjing recognized him so much, Tan Hanchi couldn't help but feel a little warm in his heart.

"Brother Qiao, I hope I will have the honor to work with you in the future, serve the court, and benefit the people!"

Upon hearing this, Qiao Tianjing nodded heavily.

After all, that’s what he and his second brother came for!

The three of them had their fill and chatted for a while. Seeing that the restaurant was about to close, Qiao Tianjing and Qiao Diyi finally let them go.

"Brother Tan, let's go together."

The inn where Tan Hanchi stayed was on the way back to the Qiao Mansion.

"That would be great."

Tan Hanchi was talking and laughing happily. He felt very happy that the two brothers of the Qiao family had chatted with him for such a long time tonight.

On the way back, Qiao Diyi was always alert.

Tomorrow is the day when the results will be announced, so tonight is the last chance for the thieves from Duke Qing’s Mansion to take action!

The journey back to the inn was still uneventful.

Qiao Diyi had an idea in his mind. It seemed that the thieves were planning to attack in the inn!

When they arrived at the inn, Tan Hanchi said goodbye to the two brothers of the Qiao family and agreed that if they had good news tomorrow, they would send a visiting card to the Qiao Mansion as soon as possible.

Seeing Tan Hanchi turning left and walking into the lower-class room of the inn, Qiao Diyi winked at Qiao Tianjing.

At midnight, everyone was fast asleep.

Tan Hanchi was worried about the announcement of the exam results tomorrow and couldn't fall asleep for a long time.

At this moment, he suddenly heard the window bolt being pried open, which scared him in the dead of night.

But at this time, Tan Hanchi could never have expected that someone would come to take his life. After all, he was just a small candidate from Zhuozhou.

It must be a mouse.

After all, this is a lower-class room, and the inn's kitchen is next to it.

Thinking of this, Tan Hanchi got out of bed carefully to check. As soon as he leaned over, a spray of sleeping pills hit his face.
