"Qiaoer, do you think Lu Yunzheng can pass the exam and become the top scorer tomorrow?" Although Mingxin didn't say it, she was still very concerned about Lu Yunzheng in her heart.
Liu Qiaoer's eyes flashed like black grapes: "I don't know. As long as he doesn't get rid of the Lu family, it doesn't matter to him whether he wins the title or not. After all, he is just a pawn in the hands of others."
Princess Mingxin sighed: "Lu Yunzheng can be considered a noble son from a poor family. If he doesn't pass the imperial examination, it will be difficult for him to enter the officialdom. He won't be able to realize his ambitions."
Liu Qiaoer put down the book in her hand and sighed faintly: "Mingxin, if you like him, tell him boldly. We don't need to fight over men."
Princess Mingxin traveled through time in the millennium and was born in the 1980s. Liu Qiaoer's history book gave a very objective description of this generation.
They grew up in an era of rapid economic development. They are a lucky generation, but also a tragic generation. They are the generation that has been exploited the most. They pay more attention to personal struggle.
They have a strong sense of happiness and responsibility, and have no idea of celibacy. Unlike Liu Qiaoer, who lives in the end times and is almost unwilling to get married, she thinks the living environment is too cruel, and not having children is a kind act.
Only people in the dungeon can feel happy, give birth to children, and raise the next generation, but for her... falling in love is just a diversion.
If Mingxin really likes Lu Yunzheng, she is willing to withdraw.
Ming Xin seemed to be struggling: "No, Qiao'er, I like him, but I respect his personal opinion more. If the person he loves is you, and you are my best friend, I will bless you two."
"I don't want to be a shameful third party. If I betray my good friend, I will be uneasy for the rest of my life. Even if I am with him, I will not be happy."
Liu Qiaoer looked at her deeply and was pleased with her outlook on life: "Mingxin, you will always be my best friend."
Ming Xin also looked back: "You too. We can do without men, but we can't do without friends."
Liu Qiaoer stretched out her hand to her: "You are the power, I am the ability, let's become the richest people in the world together."
Ming Xin also held her hand tightly: "But, Qiao'er, my power is not that great, and it all depends on the emperor's words. If possible, we'd better bring someone from the royal family with us."
Liu Qiao'er thought for a moment: "Zhao Ziyu? Ninth Emperor's uncle?"
Mingxin laughed dryly. At this moment, Hong Yuan came running over with the Sixth Prince who had just woken up.
"Miss Qiao'er, the master will definitely look for you as soon as he wakes up."
Liu Qiaoer stepped forward, took the Sixth Prince's hand, rubbed his hair, and took his pulse.
"Okay, you're in good shape. Keep exercising. By the way, Xiaoliu, is the toy I gave you fun?"
Liu Qiaoer wanted to make the Luban locks, the nine-linked rings, and various hidden weapons into toys for Xiaoliu to play with, and then sell them.
Xiaoliu nodded heavily with light in his eyes.
Hong Yuan was also very excited: "Girl, the young master is so cute. He can play with a toy for half a day, taking it apart and putting it back together, and taking it apart again very quickly. Even I was surprised when I saw it. I didn't expect the young master to be so smart."
It's unknown what kind of shock the Sixth Prince suffered when he was a child, and he became a little autistic. Most autistic children are geniuses, but few people understood them in the past.
Liu Qiaoer certainly knew the strengths of these children, so she let Xiaoliu practice martial arts and play with the Luban Lock. Their concentration was very high, so they were able to unlock it quickly and understand the principles behind it.
Liu Qiaoer took a snack and gave it to Xiaoliu. After he finished eating and his emotions stabilized, she continued with the acupuncture treatment.
Suddenly, a hearty laugh came from outside.
"It seems that this thing is not that mysterious. Those people from the Tang Sect fooled me for so many years, but it was easily cracked by a little girl. I am ashamed."
As he spoke, Zhao Ziyu appeared in Liu Qiaoer's room, leading a young man wearing a yellow four-clawed dragon robe.
Zhao Ziyu's purple four-clawed dragon robe was already very noble. Yellow was the exclusive color for the prince and the emperor. The emperor's was pure yellow, while the prince's was a little darker.
The young man in his thirties in front of him is the current crown prince Zhao Yangze. He is a little fat, with smiling eyes and a round face. He is a fat man who loves to smile.
Compared to Zhao Ziyu standing next to him, he is much more handsome, tall and graceful, and elegant. In terms of seniority between the two, Zhao Ziyu is still a little inferior, after all, the prince is the heir to the throne, the king.
Even though Zhao Ziyu was the emperor's uncle, he was also a subject, so Zhao Ziyu performed the state etiquette to the prince, placing his left hand on his right hand and bowing slightly, while the prince performed the family etiquette to Zhao Ziyu, clasping his fists and bowing.
But these etiquettes made no difference to Mingxin and Liu Qiaoer. They didn't know how to do them anyway, and even if they did, they would be very sloppy.
And Zhao Ziyu never blamed Liu Qiaoer for anything.
When she saw Crown Prince Zhao Yangze holding the Lu Ban lock made by Liu Qiaoer, her heart skipped a beat. Could it be that the crown prince came to call her to task
But looking at the prince's smiling face, it doesn't seem like that.
Liu Qiao'er had the lowest status, so she stood aside. Mingxin saw this and pulled her behind him to block the way.
"How come you have time to come here, Prince?"
The prince held his belly with a smile on his face and sat down on the main seat. Hong Yuan pulled Xiao Liu up, and when she saw that Princess Mingxin and Liu Qiaoer did not salute, she was so nervous that she forgot to do so.
At Zhao Ziyu's reminder, Hong Yuan took Xiao Liu and left quietly.
Zhao Ziyu also sat down at the right seat. He was used to keeping a straight face and glanced at Liu Qiaoer coldly: "I was attracted by the little thing you made."
Liu Qiaoer knew that once these things came out, one of the Tang Clan or the Crown Prince would have to show up. She didn't expect that the Crown Prince would come in person today.
"These are the toys I made for the children. I found that there are too few toys for children. These are the toys we often played with when we were young. They are good for developing the brain and making people smarter."
It would have been better if Liu Qiaoer didn't say anything. After saying this, the prince looked at Liu Qiaoer with a smile.
"So it was you who made it. I heard that Mingxin's crossbow was also made by you. If it weren't for that crossbow, Mingxin would have died, and the entire Tang Sect would have been executed."
The prince's smiling eyes were full of sharpness. Compared with the third prince, he was much more cunning.
In front of the Third Prince, Liu Qiaoer was not so alert and was able to handle himself with ease.
But when Liu Qiaoer faced the prince, alarm bells rang in her heart. She knew very well that the more harmless a person looks, the more likely he is to not say hello when he wants to stab you in the back. Instead, he will smile the sweetest.
This prince is indeed difficult to deal with.
Liu Qiaoer became more cautious: "Tang Yuan did not distinguish right from wrong and committed treason and rebellion. He deserves death. The princess was just protecting herself."
Ming Xin also quickly explained: "Yes, Prince brother, the silver needle she shot at me was poisonous. Her body was full of poison. My nanny was almost poisoned to death by her."
Zhao Ziyu was not present at the time. If she had been, Tang Yuan would have died a more miserable death.
He had a sullen face, not showing any expression, and his back was straight, but his eyes were already gloomy.
The prince saw that they did not seem to be afraid of his own intimidation and instead started laughing.
