Xiao Qianyue had made up her mind since she was a child that if she was going to get married, she would marry a man as tall, handsome and upright as her father.

Otherwise, no matter if she disguises herself as a man to join the army or cuts her hair to become a nun, no one can force her to marry someone she doesn't like!

Now look at Qiao Diyi next to him. He is very handsome and tall.

I just carried her all the way on his back, and his face wasn't red and he wasn't out of breath, and he looked very strong.

It's not impossible to choose such a person as a husband.

If he goes to the battlefield in the future, I can try to accompany him. Then we can fight against the bandits together on the battlefield. How happy it would be!

Thinking of this, Xiao Qianyue's eyes suddenly sparkled and she smiled sweetly at Qiao Diyi.

When Qiao Diyi saw Miss Xiao's eyes and eyebrows flying, which seemed to be glowing in the setting sun, his face suddenly became hot and he smiled back stupidly.

The two of them were smiling at each other in front of everyone without any hesitation.

Madam Xiao: “…”

Mrs. Qiao: “…”

Xiao Qianlan: "......"

Qiao Jiaojiao: (° ? °)??°Oh!

[Hehe, my second brother and his wife are showing off their love online! I’ll take it! I’ll take it all! I won’t refuse anyone who comes to knock on my chest! ]

"Ahem, it's getting late, we should go back."

Mrs. Qiao was reminded by Qiao Jiaojiao's inner voice and hurriedly spoke.

Madam Xiao woke up as if from a dream, and pulled Xiao Qianyue to stand between her and Qiao Diyi.

"Yes, yes, it's time to go back."

The two parties were greeting each other and saying goodbye when suddenly a loud shout of joy was heard from afar.

"Madam! Eldest Miss! Second Miss! Great joy!"

Everyone looked in the direction of the voice and saw several servants hurrying over, their faces filled with joy.

That's someone from the Xiao family.

When Qiao Jiaojiao heard this, she suddenly thought of this so-called happy event and couldn't help but grin.

Sure enough, the next moment, among the servants, a middle-aged man who looked like a butler shouted:

"Madam, there is an imperial decree from the palace, seeking to marry our eldest daughter to be the Crown Prince's principal wife!!!"

As soon as these words were spoken, even someone as calm and dignified as Xiao Qianlan was stunned on the spot for a moment.

Qiao Jiaojiao turned her head to look at Xiao Qianlan, only to see her slowly raise her hand to cover her mouth. There was a look of disbelief on her face and her whole body was trembling slightly.

The setting sun shone on that bright face, and the tears in her eyes seemed to be dyed with gorgeous colorful light, looking so stunning and moving.

Qiao Jiaojiao couldn't help but raise the corner of her mouth, feeling happy for Xiao Qianlan from the bottom of her heart.

This woman, who in the original novel had a deep affection for the prince and always stood by him through thick and thin, finally got her wish and became her lover's legal wife.

She was gentle yet strong. After the crown prince died suddenly, Emperor Yong had already made a final judgment on his death, but she was the only one who put her life and death aside and spoke up for the crown prince time and time again.

She died inexplicably at the most beautiful age, and she didn't even have time to make arrangements for her and the prince's children.

【This time, everything is different, our destiny is in our hands! 】

[Sister Xiao is such a good woman, she deserves the best ending. I will do my best to protect the prince! ]

Qiao Jiaojiao secretly made up her mind.

Mrs. Qiao already knew the news. Her eyes were filled with joy as she congratulated Mrs. Xiao and Xiao Qianlan.

"Madam Xiao, please take Miss Xiao home quickly. The imperial decree cannot be delayed."

Mrs. Xiao finally came to her senses. She turned around to look at her eldest daughter, who was so happy that tears welled up in her eyes. This time she suddenly understood what her daughter had been thinking all along.

She never said that she liked the prince.

Now that I think about it, I am worried that it will make things difficult for my husband. After all, Lan'er has always been sensible and sympathetic since she was a child.

Thinking of this, Madam Xiao embraced Xiao Qianlan lovingly and said softly, "Lan'er, let's go home."

Xiao Qianlan buried herself in her mother's warm embrace, and only dared to let her tears fall when no one was watching.

The joy in her heart was beyond words.

The happiness in life is to get what you want.

————

Mrs. Qiao took Qiao Jiaojiao back to the Qiao Mansion.

At this time, the news that Xiao Qianlan became the Crown Princess had spread throughout Kyoto. Countless people went to congratulate her in the dark, and almost trampled through the threshold of the Xiao Mansion.

The Crown Prince was sitting in the Yikun Palace, having dinner with the Queen and the Fourth Prince.

He behaved elegantly and looked no different from usual, but for some reason, he forgot to pick up the food.

"Brother, why are you just eating? Is today's food not to your liking?"

"I think these bamboo shoots are delicious, brother, you should try it!"

As the Fourth Prince spoke, he leaned forward slightly and picked up a piece of tender bamboo shoots and put it into the Crown Prince's bowl.

When the queen saw this, she couldn't help but smile, a look of joy appeared between her brows, and she looked in very good spirits.

The prince put down his bowl and chopsticks awkwardly, then raised his hand to rub the Fourth Prince's head.

"Thank you, Xiaosi. I'm full now."

The fourth prince heard this and asked innocently, "Didn't we just start eating? Did my brother sneak some snacks behind my back again? That's why he can't eat dinner!"

"Ah! No, no, I get it! Brother is so happy that he can't eat anything because he got engaged to Xiao's sister today!"

"Is Xiao Si right?"

Upon hearing this, the prince's face suddenly showed a hint of warmth.

"Mother, I want to go out for a walk."

The Queen understood what he meant and looked at the Prince with some surprise.

It was the first time for her, as a queen mother, to see shyness on the prince's face.

"Go, go. If you get hungry in the evening, ask someone to prepare some food."

Upon hearing this, the Crown Prince stood up and walked out. The Fourth Prince chuckled like a child.

"I was right! My brother ran away out of shame!"

The queen couldn't help laughing when she heard this.

"Xiao Si, don't make fun of your brother. When you grow up, you will be as happy as your brother."

The Fourth Prince shook his head seriously.

"You are wrong, mother. I am very happy now because my prince consort has been decided long ago. She is the younger sister of the Qiao family!"

The queen was slightly stunned when she heard this, then she curved her lips and smiled.

"You are a very discerning kid. Your sister from the Qiao family will definitely be a fairy in the future, but she doesn't necessarily have to be with you."

The Fourth Prince took a bite of the tender bamboo shoots and chewed them in his mouth without arguing.

Sister Qiao is a little fairy. I am just young now, but I will be worthy of her when I grow up!

The Queen couldn't help but think of the Qiao family at this moment.

If it weren't for Mrs. Qiao's words, she would not have had the courage to refute the emperor and would have been determined to choose Miss Xiao as the prince's wife.

The Qiao family... is a rare family of loyal and righteous ministers.

On the other side, the Qiao family, who were being talked about by the Queen and the Fourth Prince, were also having dinner.

After eating a bowl of porridge, Qiao Jiaojiao was leaning comfortably on the soft couch beside her.

However, she was not relaxed at all.

Because at this moment she was racking her brains, how could she quietly write down the formulas of soap, lipstick and perfume so that her father and eldest brother could tinker with them!
