But he was a stranger after all, and Su Jingya was a concubine waiting to be married, so it was not easy to send her back home.
She could only solemnly instruct the maid beside her: "Take good care of your young lady."
"Yes, Your Majesty."
Several maids bowed hastily.
Su Jingya was very confused at this time. She didn't care about anything else and left in a hurry with her maid.
Led by his maid Xiaochun, Prince Jin soon arrived at Su Qiao's Qiufeng Pavilion.
Unfortunately, Su Qiao, who had received the news long ago, hid himself and asked the servant to send him away.
In Chunyu Garden, Su Jingya locked herself in the room with a gloomy face.
"Damn it, how could this happen?"
How come her strange older brother also came from another world
Will her next plan be disrupted by him
If I had known this would happen, I would have never let him come back.
Or, just send someone to kill him before he comes back.

At the hour of You, the Qionglin Banquet was held in Baohe Hall. In addition to a group of ministers who attended, the top three new officials were also present.
Of course, the most important ones are the top three, the top three.
Su Qiao arrived neither early nor late, and everything went according to the rules.
When we arrived, we found a seat at the end and sat down, drinking and eating in a low-key manner.
Unfortunately, with her dazzling appearance and her irresistible demeanor, coupled with the rumors about her that have been everywhere in recent days, even if she is low-key, she is still very eye-catching.
As soon as Su Qiao, dressed in a moon-white brocade robe, entered the palace, Eunuch Quan noticed her with his sharp eyes.
Humph, he is smart enough to stay away from the emperor.
Unexpectedly, when he looked down, he saw that the emperor, who had been drinking nonchalantly, had put down his glass at some point. His face looked obviously unhappy and his aura was a little cold.
The emperor is... unhappy
Could it be that you were pissed off by that brat again
Eunuch Quan silently helped the emperor pick up a piece of food with his chopsticks, then silently stepped back, feeling very unhappy.
That brat won't come unless the emperor comes to you. Why does the emperor have to keep an eye on him
Su Qiao had no idea that Eunuch Quan was nagging her, and that this made the man unhappy.
She drank glass after glass of wine quietly, just wanting to wait for the banquet to be over so that she could leave the palace quickly.
I don't know if he was jealous of her because she won the emperor's favor and became a third-rank imperial guard.
I really wanted to test her knowledge, so the topic of the new Jinshi unconsciously turned to her.
The runner-up, who had just been appointed editor of the Hanlin Academy, was the first to come forward.
"I heard that Prince Su has been traveling a lot since he was young, and has a wide range of knowledge. He is also very accomplished in calligraphy and painting. I wonder if I can ask you a thing or two?"
Although the runner-up appeared to be very humble and polite, the contempt in his eyes was obvious.
Su Qiao paused as he was raising his glass to drink and looked up.
At the banquet, even the ministers who were a little further away looked over.
Some had scrutiny in their eyes, some had jealousy in their eyes, but most had suspicion and contempt in their eyes.
After thinking about it for a while, Su Qiao understood.
Given her age, no one would believe that a sixteen-year-old could have such extraordinary talents.
I guess everyone is wondering if she used some improper means to show her face in front of the emperor.
Su Qiao quickly glanced at the man sitting in the upper seat in the distance, who was drinking leisurely as if he had not heard anything. He lowered his eyes and thought for a while, then raised his head and said calmly:
"I don't deserve it. It's just some random doodle. What I'm best at is eating, drinking and having fun. Those writing and drawing are boring and a waste of time."
As soon as she finished speaking, the man sitting in the upper seat looked a little darker.
What she meant was that she, as an emperor, had no vision
It was eerily quiet inside the Baohe Hall.
