After the Queen Mother passed away, Princess Mingxin lost her support and became very close to the Queen.
Tonight, the Emperor is hosting a banquet for his ministers, and Princess Mingxin is also invited. She is going to give a gift to the Queen.
The shopkeeper took out other things and asked her if she could use them instead.
Unexpectedly, Princess Mingxin took a fancy to the new sunscreen.
If it were someone else, Liu Qiaoer might have given up a bottle, but this person was Princess Mingxin, and she didn't want to give it up at all.
But when Princess Mingxin was speaking, she kept looking at Liu Qiaoer.
Liu Qiaoer also looked back at her with a smile, but she didn't say anything. She wanted to see how Princess Mingxin would bring it up.
Sure enough, seeing that she had been silent, Princess Mingxin finally spoke.
"Princess Qingyue, I heard that you bought two bottles. Can you give me one? I want to give it to the Queen."
Liu Qiaoer thought for a moment and said, "Unfortunately, me too."
Princess Mingxin smiled awkwardly: "Is that so? There are so many good things in the prince's mansion. Can't the princess change one?"
Liu Qiaoer replied calmly: "No. I like this one."
It has always been Princess Mingxin who has used her power to oppress others. Now, Liu Qiaoer's original body is much more noble than Princess Mingxin, and she also wants to experience the pleasure of using her power to oppress others.
Some people couldn't stand it and flattered Liu Qiaoer and suppressed Princess Mingxin at the same time.
"Oh, Princess Mingxin, everything should be based on first come first served. Since you are so respectful to the Queen, you should prepare it earlier. It is obvious that you don't care much. You come to sell it after everything is sold out. It's really early."
"That's right, Princess Mingxin, you have to present it to the Queen, and Princess Qingyue also has to present it to the Queen. At this time, gifts are not about value, but about the thought. Giving something you like to someone shows your sincerity."
"I heard that Princess Mingxin also brought back a lot of good things from Mobei. Why didn't you take them from home? You insisted on asking Princess Qingyue to exchange gifts. You are really nice."
Human nature is like this, they act according to the situation. It's Princess Mingxin's fault that she is helpless at this time.
Princess Mingxin was annoyed by what she said. She glared at the women around her and had no choice but to change into another set of rouge.
Liu Qiaoer came out of the rouge shop and casually gave the sunscreen she bought to the two maids beside her.
The two maids were delighted: "Princess, this thing just came out, it would be great to give it to the princess."
"No need, I already have it. Besides, the things in the palace are much better than those in this shop."
The two maids were very happy and continued strolling with Liu Qiaoer.
As she walked, Liu Qiaoer always felt a burning gaze following her, and she was just about to find out where the gaze came from.
A man came towards her and looked at her with a smile.
Liu Qiao'er was also stunned and smiled sweetly: "What a coincidence."
As soon as Tuoba Xiao saw her, he changed his posture to a lazy and comfortable one. The two of them walked side by side tacitly, like friends who had known each other for a long time.
"Unfortunately, I have actually been waiting for you for a long time, waiting for you, waiting for you to meet you by chance..."
Liu Qiaoer rolled her eyes and said, "Don't worry about it. The Sixth Prince and Princess only have this one daughter, and they don't agree to her marrying far away."
"I can also marry into the family." Tuoba Xiao suddenly said.
Liu Qiaoer was completely stunned. She stood there in a daze, staring at Tuoba Xiao with wide eyes.
"What did you say?"
Tuoba Xiao slowly approached Liu Qiao'er and whispered in her ear: "I said, I can marry into your family."
"It's an arranged marriage anyway. Since they don't want you to marry them, it's okay for me to come over."
"Qiao'er, as long as I can be with you, it doesn't matter where I am."
Liu Qiaoer felt mixed emotions and couldn't tell what she was feeling.
"With a new body that doesn't have your poison, it will be impossible for me to be controlled. You better think about it."
Tuoba Xiao smiled and said, "I've thought about it a long time ago. Using poison on you is the worst option, and using love on you is the best option. This time, I met you earlier than Lu Yunzheng, and I hope you can give me a chance."
Liu Qiaoer was speechless: "You are really a lunatic."
Tuoba Xiao stretched out his hand towards Liu Qiaoer: "Let's go, I'll take you out to play. You've been bored for so long, I know you can't sit still. I heard there are a lot of fun things in the capital, let's go."
Liu Qiaoer hesitated for a moment. If she went with him today and was seen by others, the marriage would probably be finalized.
But he said he was willing to stay in the capital.
Liu Qiaoer was hesitant.
"What? You're afraid that I'll pester you, so you don't even dare to be with me." Tuoba Xiao appeared to provoke her.
Liu Qiaoer is now of noble status and is loved by her parents, so she can do whatever she wants.
"Of course I'm not afraid. As long as I don't want to, no one can force me."
Liu Qiaoer put her hand into Tuoba Xiao's, and the two of them walked towards the romantic place by the river together.
In the teahouse, Lu Yunzheng, who had been staring at her, became more and more suspicious the more he looked.
Although Liu Qiaoer is Zhao Xiaoqiao now, some of her habits cannot be changed.
Just when Lu Yunzheng was in doubt, Tuoba Xiao appeared.
Tuoba Xiao came to Beijing with him. He was sure that before coming to Beijing, Tuoba Xiao did not know Princess Qingyue.
But judging from how familiar they were with each other, it didn't seem like they had just met.
"Let's go."
Lu Yunzheng took Qi Ze and followed Liu Qiaoer to the brothel.
On Lu Yunzheng's family's cruise ship, Jasmine and Yue Nishang were dancing hard.
After Zhao Ziyu ascended the throne, he allowed Yue Nishang to leave the palace and restore her identity as a good woman.
Now the ship has been given to her, allowing her to run it, extract dividends from it, and support herself.
Yue Nishang's father's case was not overturned, and there was not much left in the family. Only a half-sister was found, who got married early.
The only person she loved was Lu Yunzheng. While Lu Yunzheng was fighting outside, she was waiting for him here.
In broad daylight, the girls in the flower boats were practicing various skills.
Liu Qiao'er and Tuoba Xiao also got a small boat and sat on it. Tuoba Xiao rowed the boat himself, but the boat seemed to not move forward but kept spinning in place.
Liu Qiaoer laughed at him for not knowing how to row a boat and laughed so hard that she fell backwards.
Tuoba Xiao also smiled and tried hard to steer the boat. Finally, the boat could move forward.
Tired of rowing, Tuoba Xiao waved to the side, and an expert guard next to him jumped lightly onto the boat and rowed for them.
Tuoba Xiao returned to the cabin, and Liu Qiaoer smiled happily.
"You're a northerner, how can you row a boat? But you're really smart. You learned it so quickly."
Tuoba Xiao told Liu Qiaoer the technique of rowing a boat, which still requires the use of arm strength.
When Liu Qiaoer is happy, she wants to sing.
"If we are destined to meet, we will meet even if we are thousands of miles apart. If we are not destined to meet, it will be difficult to hold hands. It takes ten years to build the same boat, and a hundred years to build the same pillow."
The tune was melodious and the lyrics were simple. In addition, Zhao Xiaoqiao's voice was better than Liu Qiaoer's, so the girls on the flower boats nearby came out to watch.
Yue Nishang also heard it and sighed softly: "The last time I heard such a beautiful new song was when Qiao'er was here. In a blink of an eye, it has been five or six years since we last met."
Lu Yunzheng stood quietly at the bow, his eyes slightly narrowed.
If he couldn't guess at this time that Zhao Xiaoqiao was Liu Qiaoer, he would be unworthy of being a human being.
