Fast Transmigration: Cannon Fodder

Chapter 7

In the next few days, Qiao Qiu paid attention to Qiao Dong's movements all the time.

As she expected, on the third day, Zhao Yucheng couldn't bear the lovesickness, and sneaked into the mansion to meet Qiao Dong.It's just that Qiao Dong was focused on revenge, even though she was heartbroken, she advised Zhao Yucheng not to come in again.

Zhao Yucheng is an infatuated person, she made a choice, and he still has to stay by her side.Qiao Dong originally had feelings for Zhao Yucheng, but when the other party became infatuated, she collapsed and struggled on the verge of pain that made it difficult to make a choice.

This dragged on until the night before the draft.

In the royal study room of the imperial palace, the lights were brilliant, illuminating every corner brightly.Standing in front of the table is a young emperor in a bright yellow dragon robe, holding a picture of a beautiful girl in his hand, frowning.After a while, he was so angry that he threw the portrait on the table, and the eunuchs knelt down in fright.

The emperor went to the window, opened the window for air, and looked up at the bright moon in the sky. The moonlight reflected his handsome appearance, and those charming peach eyes seemed to be covered by fog, making it difficult for people to see through the expression inside.

In the past, when he was not in power, he was afraid of the queen mother, and never touched the women sent by the queen mother.But now that he is finally in power, it is when he enjoys beauties, but he doesn't like these beauties.

The emperor sighed, "Go out."

"Yes." The leading eunuch stood up and retreated with all the eunuchs and maids.

The emperor stood by the window watching for a while, then turned around and sat down in front of a chair.

At this time, a black figure flashed in from the window, kneeling respectfully in front of the emperor, holding a booklet in both hands and raising it above his head.

The emperor picked up the booklet and flipped through it twice, then asked calmly, "Have you finished collecting?"

"Back to the emperor, this booklet contains information on the beautiful girls from the families of officials above the third rank, and the rest are still on their way."

Almost all the daughters of officials of the third rank and above are in Shengjing, and the rest came from other places. He only ordered them to be collected yesterday, and it is really too late today.

The emperor knew it well and didn't make things difficult for the hidden guard, so he waved his hand and made him retreat.

The emperor was the only one left in the imperial study room. He couldn't help but frown when he opened the first page. On it was written the words 'Qiao Qiu, the beautiful daughter of the prime minister's mansion'.

Qiao Qiu's "reputation" resounded throughout Shengjing, he had heard it, and he didn't believe these rumors at first, but now even the idioms used in the materials sent by the dark guards are "unruly and self-willed", "cunning and mean", "publicity" Domineering' and so on these negative words.Prime Minister Qiao is wise and resourceful, how could he raise such a daughter?
The emperor frowned and shook his head, turned to the next page, saw the words 'gentle and demure' and 'national beauty and heavenly fragrance', his brows relaxed, and he nodded in satisfaction.

But after nodding, he fell into thought again.The two daughters of Prime Minister Qiao have completely different personalities. Why does Prime Minister Qiao like the unruly and willful Qiao Qiu instead of the gentle and beautiful Qiao Dong?

Prime Minister Qiao is not only resourceful, but also upright. How could he care about one thing and lose another just because Qiao Dong was born by a concubine?
What exactly is this for?The emperor couldn't figure it out, and felt a little regretful. It would be great if Prime Minister Qiao loved Qiao Dong. Wouldn't everyone be happy when he chose Qiao Dong?

He is the king of a country, he has endless political affairs to deal with every day, how can he have the energy to deal with such a woman?

The emperor would get a headache whenever he thought about having to accept Qiao Qiu as his concubine.

At this time, in the prime minister's mansion outside the imperial city, the entire mansion was busy with the two young ladies.

Qiao Qiu sat in front of the vanity mirror, listening to the prime minister's wife nagging about the affairs in the palace, Qiao Liu, the prime minister, did not avoid suspicion, and kept giving orders to her until late at night, before the three let her go and left her Yuhuaxuan.

There were only two masters and servants left in the room, Hong Lan couldn't help chuckling when she saw her sleepy look.

Seeing her smile, Qiao Qiu tilted his head and smiled slightly, his bright black eyes were lively and lovely.

I couldn't tell what the meaning of her smile was. Hong Lan was flustered and felt a little embarrassed, so she stopped smiling immediately and stepped forward and said, "Master, I will wait for you to go to bed, I will get up very early tomorrow. Master will be overwhelmed."

The words of concern came from the heart, and Qiao Qiu could hear them. She said lazily, "Don't worry, Hong Lan. From now on, you will call yourself Hong Lan in front of me. I am not used to it."

"Yes, master, slave...Hong Lan knows."

Qiao Qiu looked carefully up and down, and Hong Lan really couldn't pick a mistake. She responded properly, spoke confidently, and looked decent, "Nurse Zhuang taught well, she looks like a big maid."

"Thank you, master." Hong Lan smiled happily. Everything she did was worthwhile to get the approval of the master.

Qiao Qiu smiled, squinted his eyes and turned his head to look in a certain direction outside the window, and murmured: "It should be very lively tonight. Should I sleep or try my luck? Is there no show to watch?"

Hong Lan didn't hear clearly, and asked, "Master, what did you say?"

Qiao Qiu came back to her senses and turned her bright eyes. It seemed that since the last time she sent her to Aunt Zhuang, she no longer called her Third Miss, but Master?Forget it, that's fine, it saves you having to change it again in the palace.

"sleep."

"Oh."

No matter how lively the play is, she still needs to keep enough energy to face tomorrow's draft.

Hanmeiyuan, where Qiao Dong lives, is less lively than Qiao Qiu's place, and it is very deserted. Aunt Liu only cares about her a few words, and the rest is about how to please the emperor.

Qiao Dong was very troubled, but he could only listen patiently. Finally, when the third watch passed, Aunt Liu got up and went back.

Before she could breathe a sigh of relief, Yuya suddenly groaned and fell limp to the ground.Immediately after she was hugged into a warm embrace, a faint scent of agarwood wafted through her nostrils, and her restless heart calmed down at this moment.

"Dong'er."

Qiao Dong was obsessed with this embrace for a while, Zhao Yucheng's voice was magnetic and gentle, full of tenderness, she almost got carried away.

"Mu Yan."

The nephrite jade was warm and fragrant in his arms, but Zhao Yucheng revealed a trace of sadness, "Dong'er, don't go to the draft, okay?"

Qiao Dong came to his senses when he heard the words, pushed him away, turned to one side, bit his lower lip enduring grief, and said, "No, I must go."

Zhao Yucheng looked at her back and sighed, "I'm sorry, I know your choice, but I still can't help it, Dong'er, the palace is not that simple, you must be careful, if there is anything you can't solve, just go Come find me."

Qiao Dong's tears rolled down like jade beads. He also said this sentence in his previous life, verbatim.

When Zhao Yucheng saw that she didn't speak or look back, a trace of strong hatred flashed in his eyes. Why was he not the emperor?Why was he, Zhao Yuce, the emperor?What ability does he have, just because he is born to the queen, just because he is one month older than him?Now he has to take away his beloved woman. This is so unfair!
