Chapter 174 Engagement
Chapter 174 Engagement
Wuyou accepted Huahua's contempt, but he didn't get angry. He stroked his beard and said, "Miss Su heard that you two were fighting, so she found a chance to leave.
Huahua asked its bird brother to follow it. The bird came back and pointed in the direction of the palace. She must have gone into the palace to report to her master.
I'll have people and birds watching outside, so just chat peacefully and make sure no one can eavesdrop."
"Grandfather Wuyou is so amazing!"
The little prince immediately praised him.
Wuyou lifted the pigtail on his head and said, "Come on, little flatterer, when you finish your work here, remember to come back to Dasheng with me and explain the situation to your grandmother.
It's not that I'm reluctant to go home because I'm outside, it's that I'm worried about you. You have to help me explain this to that red firecracker."
This will save me from getting angry with him later. How can someone at such an old age make others kneel on the washboard and make a fool of themselves for the younger generations?
After all, he was an emperor.
The little prince smiled and said, "Don't worry, Grandpa. I will definitely help you to comfort Grandma."
"Alright, go with your mother to pay respect to your maternal grandfather. I'm leaving now."
After he left, Xia took the initiative to say, "My adoptive father is Prince Rui of Dasheng Kingdom. He and the Grand Emperor of Dasheng are twins and look similar.
After the retired emperor of Dasheng was raped and murdered and fell into a coma, he served as emperor for his brother for many years. After the retired emperor of Dasheng regained consciousness, he disfigured himself and abdicated, becoming an idle prince and traveling around.
Seeing that I had also destroyed my appearance, he felt pity for me, so he rescued me and adopted me as his adopted daughter.
He was drugged by his biological mother when he was young and was unable to conceive, so he treated me as his own son.
After Wang'er was born, he was worried that Fan Ji and I were in a difficult situation and would not be able to protect the child, so he took Wang'er to Dasheng to raise him.
The stepmother had a bad temper, but she loved Wang'er like the apple of her eye.
Dasheng is thousands of miles away from the Barbarian Kingdom, across mountains and seas, but every two years he and his adoptive mother would send the prince back to see us. They are both very good people.
It's just that my adoptive father is now an idle prince, and since we are involved in two countries, it's not appropriate for him to get involved in our affairs, but I am already very grateful."
Qiao Xi was also happy that her elder sister had met such a family.
Su Que thought of Xia Ya's face-changing technique and asked, "But I just saw that the old prince didn't have any self-destructive scars on his face, but he had them healed."
Xia nodded. "The Emperor and Empress of Dasheng are very filial to their adoptive uncle, the Emperor. They don't need him to disfigure himself to avoid suspicion. Empress Ye then asked Ye Yuanzheng to heal him."
"Then Dasheng's medical skills are very good, for example, they can cure leg injuries?"
When Su Que asked Qiao Xi, she thought that she was eyeing Dasheng's medical skills.
But she thought she was asking whether her face could be repaired, but she didn't expect that Su Que was thinking about her fourth brother.
Moved, she asked Su Heting to go to the secret passage to pick up Qiao Chengwang. She told Xia about Qiao Chengwang.
Before Xia could speak, the little prince said, "Dasheng is much more advanced than our prosperous place, and Dean Ye's medical skills are also very good, but I'm not sure if he can cure Fourth Uncle.
However, I know that the masters of Xiaoyao Pavilion will definitely have a way.
They have long been in seclusion, no longer concerned with worldly affairs, and only enter the palace for a few days during the New Year to reunite with the emperor uncle and the empress aunt. Therefore, our fourth uncle has to go with us to Dasheng.
When I get to Dasheng, I will ask my aunt, the Queen, for help. She is kind-hearted and loves me, so she will definitely ask the masters of Xiaoyao Pavilion to help me."
Xia nodded in agreement with her son, "The Emperor and Empress of Dasheng are both compassionate and broad-minded people. Fan Ji took the initiative to propose friendly relations with Dayou, and he was also influenced by them.
Queen Ye said that war brings suffering to the people, such as broken homes, loss of lives, and displacement.
Even if the country has been plundered, if the people cannot live in peace, the country will not be able to prosper. The plunder will backfire and the country will be even less likely to become strong.
Instead of this, it would be better for everyone to live in peace, develop their own countries with peace of mind, and reassure the people.
Fan Ji, like us, comes from a family of military commanders. True military commanders hate war, so he agrees with what Queen Ye said.
Qiao Xi also agreed with this.
In the end, it is the people who suffer in war.
Facts have also proved that the barbarians started out by plundering, and have never properly developed their own country over the years. They were obsessed with invading other countries, and eventually the royal family was destroyed.
After the ancestors of Dayou founded the country, they defended their own territory, and Dayou prospered far beyond the barbarian countries.
If it weren't for the incompetent emperor, Dayou would be a peaceful country with the people living and working in peace.
Su Que was confused about all this, but she understood that even if she couldn't cure Qiao Chengwang, the people of Dasheng could cure him.
I felt a little relieved instantly.
As for crossing mountains and seas to go to Dasheng, she felt that it was not a problem at all, and she was willing to accompany Qiao Chengwang.
Once she gets there, even if she can't become his disciple, just watching from the sidelines would be great.
While the Qiao Xi sisters were chatting, Su Que had already made up her mind that she wanted to go to Dasheng.
When Laibajiao followed Su Heting and Qiao Chengwang over, he saw his daughter smiling with her eyes and eyebrows curved.
Su Que's face was filled with excitement as he jumped over from a distance. "Brother Qiao, the little prince said that your leg can be cured by going to Dasheng. I will go with you then."
Even if she cured Qiao Chengwang, she still wanted to make this trip and ask the miracle doctor to check again. It would always be right.
She was afraid that after Qiao Xi became successful in the future, there would be plenty of people to escort Qiao Chengwang there, not to mention the Queen of the Barbarian Kingdom, so she had to reserve a spot in advance.
Thinking of Xia, she stuck out her tongue and quickly stepped aside.
Let the siblings recognize each other first.
Qiao Chengwang had already learned from Su Heting that Xia Ya was the eldest sister. He was excited when he saw the little girl jumping over and saying this out of the blue.
Just as he was about to return her words, she pulled away again.
Seeing the little girl winking at her, Qiao Chengwang smiled warmly, "Okay."
They were already an engaged couple arranged by their parents, so wherever he went in the future, he would take her with him.
When Qiao Chengwang appeared, Xia Ya's eyes fell on him. Seeing his interaction with Su Que, and thinking of Su Que's question about medical skills just now, she looked at Qiao Xi.
His eyes inquired, "Fourth brother and your sister-in-law?"
Qiao Xi also noticed the difference in Qiao Chengwang's smile just now and shook her head blankly.
She doesn't know.
Fourth brother usually behaves very politely and restrained, and seems very afraid of ruining Su Que's reputation, but his response just now was obviously a little unusual.
She looked at the barefoot man again and saw that he had a smile on his face.
This is even more abnormal.
Lai Chijiao usually guards against his fourth brother as if he were a thief. Judging from his previous behavior, seeing his fourth brother and Su Que communicating like this, he must have been heartbroken that Xiao Baicai was about to be taken away by someone.
Not right.
It's not right.
Qiao Xi felt confident.
But we can talk about this later.
The meeting between the brother and sister was another touching scene, and then they discussed together the matter of exposing the emperor at the harem banquet three days ago.
Su Que did not participate, she just followed her brother and sister-in-law's orders.
So, she went back to her pharmacy.
The leprous barefoot followed.
"Daughter, you just said you were going to Dasheng with Qiao Chengwang, but is that true?"
Su Que wanted to ask Lai Chijiao if she wanted to go, but when she thought about her father's loyalty to his brother and sister-in-law, and the possibility that he couldn't leave, she just nodded.
"But my daughter, you two are both unmarried and of marriageable age. It's not appropriate for you to be together all day long."
The man with bare feet looked very sad.
Su Que didn't care much, "I don't care about these."
She had no plans to get married, and besides, she was just practicing medicine and not doing anything shameful.
"But Mr. Qiao's future wife will care about it. He is not young anymore, and the princess and the queen of the Barbarian Kingdom will definitely find a girl for him.
Tell me, what wife could tolerate having a girl like my daughter by her husband's side who is so beautiful, proficient in medicine, and extremely intelligent?
Su Que looked at Lai Chijiao suspiciously, "Dad, I think your praise is correct, but I think you may have bad intentions.
Dad, tell me what you want to do.
"Dad thought, if you really want to spend your whole life worrying about his leg, why not just marry her? That way, no other woman would object and she would stay by his side. What do you think?"
he asked cautiously.
Although he was confident in front of Qiao Chengwang and Su Que listened to him, he was actually not sure at all.
He still felt guilty towards Su Que.
Su Que thought about it and felt that his father's idea was indeed very convenient. Moreover, if she became his wife, she would definitely follow him to Dasheng.
"I just don't know if he's willing to marry me?"
The barefoot man felt relieved.
With a glare, he said, "If he dares to despise my daughter, I will kill him."
But my heart aches terribly.
O sin.
He actually pushed his daughter towards that brat with his own hands.
No matter what, he had to follow.
The father and daughter made the decision here, and the people in the room over there discussed the important matters. After paying homage to the ancestors of the Qiao family, the two sisters asked Qiao Chengwang about him and Su Que.
Qiao Chengwang did not hide it from the two of them and just said that he wanted to marry.
Seeing this, the Qiao Xi sisters had no objections, so they quickly asked Xia Ya to make the decision. They discussed with Lai Chijiao, exchanged tokens, and officially decided on the marriage.
Happy days passed by so quickly, and in the blink of an eye, it was the day of the palace banquet...
