Chapter 79 Ajiao's Horse

From the day when the letter came out, Xu Jiao had been looking forward to news of Xu Yu every day. Who knows, this waited until the imperial decree was issued to tell the ancestors of heaven and earth that the day when she officially became a patriarchal daughter was set. , also failed to wait.

In the past few days, the heat was very hot, Xu Jiao took another trip to the Princess's mansion before the auspicious day calculated by Qin Tianjian.

This time, I met the eldest princess as I wished.It's just that compared to the first time we met, the eldest princess is actually much older and thinner. In such a hot weather, she is still wearing an outer dress and nestled in the grand teacher's chair. She has a thin body, gray hair, and a pair of hale eyes , but since Xu Jiao saw her, she has been coughing all the time. With that coughing method, Xu Jiao was really worried that she could cough out her lungs.

Xu Jiao offered a teacup prepared at hand, "Your Highness, this is honey loquat water, which moistens your throat, please try it."

The eldest princess took a sip of the teacup, raised her eyes and said, "If you want to go to the study, let Aqiao lead you there!"

A trace of struggle flashed across Xu Jiao's eyes, he gritted his teeth, squatted down in front of the eldest princess, and said with a sweet smile, "There is something that I would like to ask Your Highness to help."

"Oh?" The eldest princess raised her eyebrows, her throat was itchy, she coughed twice again, "Say it!"

"I have always wanted to learn riding and archery, but Your Highness also knows that my grandfather was a civil servant, so I dare not say that, so...can you use His Highness's name to raise a flag?"

The eldest princess was a little surprised, "Do you want to learn riding and archery?" Seeing Xu Jiao nodded seriously, the eldest princess asked again, "Why?"

Xu Jiao's forehead twitched, why did he ask this question?Is it that she is unreliable in learning to ride and shoot, or is she not serious about it?
But once you are familiar with it, if you have too many skills, you can come at your fingertips... "Of course, it would be even better if His Highness can give me some pointers!" This is one of the reasons why she hasn't said it yet. one.

No matter why the eldest princess wants to accept her as a foster daughter, it is impossible for her to leave immediately, so she naturally hopes that this backer can be stable and reliable. Besides, looking at the eldest princess like this, Xu Jiao can always think of her in real life. Parents who always want to do as much as they can.

Maybe... Can really rekindle the fighting spirit of the eldest princess as Neg Xue said?
Xu Jiaoyin looked at the eldest princess earnestly, and the eldest princess smiled lightly, "It may be difficult for you to learn basic skills at this age, but learning riding and shooting can only rely on hard work, I just hope it's not a whim. If you want to learn, Let’s learn! It’s just that Bengong’s current body may not be able to teach you, but it’s okay, if you really want to learn, Bengong will prepare a teacher for you here. You go back and think about it. If you really want to learn, next time… ..."

"Don't think about it anymore, I just want to learn!" Xu Jiao smiled sweetly and deserved it sonorously.

The eldest princess was silent, looked at her deeply, nodded and said, "Okay!"

On this day, when Xu Jiao returned to Jing's Mansion, besides Shengbo and Lingxue, she was accompanied by a bay red horse with shiny fur and a vigorous figure.

Jing Duo also happened to be returning home, and bumped into him at the stables. He let out a "wow" and rushed forward, "Where did the horse come from?"

"This is my horse!" Xu Jiao pulled the rein with a smile, and stood next to the bay red horse, "I will learn riding and archery at the Princess's mansion, so on the way back to the mansion today, I will let Uncle Sheng take a detour." I went to the horse market, I didn’t expect to be lucky, I happened to see this horse, and I immediately fell in love with it, so I bought it!”

Xu Jiao smiled authentically, from the initiative to ask the eldest princess to learn riding and archery, to going to the horse market and bringing the horse back, she and Lingxue discussed it together, the purpose is to bring Xiao Xiao back to Jing House, stay by your side.

That's right!This horse is exactly the "little" horse that He Lianshu specially picked out for her earlier, when they got separated at the city gate, this horse was an old horse who knew the way, and ran back to the mansion where he lived before , was seen by He Lianshu's aftermath staff, and was taken out of Nanyang Mansion.

At that time, Xu Jiao didn't know whether he was alive or dead, so He Lianshu gave the horse to Lingxue, who took it all the way to Feng'an.

Ever since Xu Jiao knew that Xiaoxiao had come to Feng'an, her heart was surging. She thought about it day and night just to take it to her side and stay in Jingfu in an upright manner. Today, she finally got her wish. It became the shape of a crescent moon, and I felt that I might wake up with a smile when I fell asleep tonight.

Jing Duo was sore, sour, "What? You just bought a horse so casually? Not only can you own a horse openly, but...do you have so much money in your hand?" Thinking of Here, Jing Duo's complexion changed, and he leaned closer to Xu Jiao with a smile, "Ah Jiao, big brother has been a little tight lately, can you see if you can..."

He twirled a few fingers together and rubbed them in front of Xu Jiao twice, coupled with his eyes and smile, the meaning couldn't be more obvious.

Xu Jiao gave him a cross look, "Get lost!"

In a blink of an eye, it was the auspicious day of the zodiac, Xu Jiao dressed up and was taken to the Princess's mansion, accompanied by the whole family of Jing's family.

This day, the Princess's Mansion changed from the deserted and low-key one it had been for a year. It was filled with lights and festoons, full of guests, and very lively.

The eldest princess also specially dressed up today. The heavy makeup covered most of her haggard and sick appearance. She has been holding Xu Jiao's hand tightly to socialize among the guests. Her face is radiant and smiling. He did not hesitate to show his love and respect for Xu Jiao.

Among the guests who came, no matter what their views on this patriarchal woman were in their hearts, they did not dare to neglect her in the slightest.

Naturally, Xu Jiao knew that the eldest princess was doing this for her, and her heart was moved. She held the eldest princess's hand behind her back, but felt that her fingertips were actually very cold in such a hot weather, so she couldn't help but frowned. Called softly, "Your Highness..."

The eldest princess gave her a comforting look, which meant that she was fine.Xu Jiao had no choice but to suppress the anxiety in her heart and socialize with her.

Not far away, Mrs. Zhao looked at the figure of Xu Jiao and the Princess Eldest, seeing how they were really close as a mother and daughter, she had the same joyful smile on her face, but the smile on her face faded slightly.

"It seems that His Royal Highness the Eldest Princess really likes us, Ajiao! First, congratulations to the second sibling! With such a backer, we will surely enjoy the glory and wealth in the future!" A soft voice suddenly sounded in the ear.

Mrs. Zhao didn't look back, and she could guess Mrs. Yan's face at this time. She pinched her palm, managed to stabilize her mood in the pain, took two deep breaths, and then turned her head to lick the corner of her lips at Mrs. Yan , smiled and said, "Thank you, sister-in-law! Sometimes, I also worry that Ajiao is too good and attractive, but I can't help it. Who made Ajiao be the blood of me and Erlang, inheriting Erlang's character?"

The smile on Mrs. Yan's face froze slightly, her eyes shrank suddenly, she looked at Mrs. Zhao as if she had seen a ghost, how could it be possible?For so many years, Mrs. Zhao has never been able to fight back in front of her. How could she not be accurate?She should have turned pale today and had a big fight with her in spite of everyone's eyes.
