After waking up from the dream, the general's wife lost her love brain

Chapter 13
When the army entered Beijing the next day, the city was deserted and the streets were lined with people to welcome them. Qiao Yuan and the Hou family were there to greet them at the city gate.

Qi Cun is wearing silver armor, shining in the sunlight, and riding a bloody horse, full of vigor.

When they reached the city gate, Qi Cun lowered his waist and put Qiao Yuan on his horse. Qiao Yuan was startled by the sudden movement and hugged Qi Cun's arm tightly.

The crowd cheered again.

Qi Cun gave a wicked low laugh, hugged her slender waist tightly, and said in a low voice: "Daughter-in-law, do you still remember how I taught you how to ride a horse?"

Qiao Yuan hadn't had time to react, two blushes floated on his face, and a tassel bead swaying on his temples swayed gently with the horse's walking, looking cute and cute
General Qi and his daughter-in-law walked the whole journey slowly under the cheers of the people in the city.

For a time, the previous rumors about Qiao Yuan were overshadowed by the claims that General Qi and Mrs. Qi raised eyebrows and had no doubts about their love. The talented people who went to Beijing even wrote poems: The general returns from hundreds of battles, and he hides his merits with his bare waist. I want to ask about his feelings. The middle one is said to be the general's wife.

Everyone recites.

Qi Cun's prediction was right, after sending Qiao Yuan back to the general's mansion that day, he rushed back to the barracks without stopping, and went to the palace to face the saint the next day.

In the next few days, he was busy reporting duties and handing over things. The emperor specially let him stay overnight in the palace, and he didn't even meet Qiao Yuan.

The matter was finally settled. The emperor appreciated his hard work and held a banquet in the palace in the evening to welcome the Marquis of Zhenbei.

When the father-in-law brought the message to the Hou's mansion, Xiaoyu was sent to the main hall to help, and was greeted to send the father-in-law out to return to the palace.

Xiaoyu walked all the way to West Street, then turned and headed towards the back door of Qiao Mansion.

The Wang family never liked to attend these occasions, so Qiao Yuan only brought Qi Wei into the palace.

Qiao Yuan has also entered the palace before, so she is not nervous.

She was young, extremely beautiful, and wore a solemn court dress, giving her a sense of superiority and distance than usual.

The lustrous Dongzhu earrings swayed slightly as the carriage moved, making that pink face even more radiant.

Qi Wei sat across from her, looking at her secretly, with hidden envy and jealousy flashing across her eyes.

She has a good background, good looks, and a high-ranking husband. Which woman wouldn’t envy such a life?
Qiao Yuan didn't seem to pay attention to her gaze, and arrived at the gate of the palace without saying a word.

Some people have already gathered here, all waiting to enter the palace.

Qiao Yuan saw Qiao's carriage and was about to go there, but she also saw her walking towards this side.

"elder sister."

Qi Wei watched Qiao Yuan's face gradually darken when she heard the title.

She looked at the person curiously, and then her expression was astonished.

The person who came was a little girl, with a thin body and slightly dull facial features, but it could be seen that she was a beauty, but her face was slightly pale, indicating that she was in poor health.

Especially, she is in a wheelchair.

Jin Shu reluctantly called out: "Second Miss."

Only then did Qi Wei realize that she was Qiao Jia, the second daughter of the Qiao family.

Qiao Jia was not born to the eldest lady, but a concubine. Her biological mother died young. It is said that Qiao Yuan looked down on this younger sister and often bullied her.

Qiao Jia pushed her wheelchair over and didn't stop until she was one step away from Qiao Yuan. She timidly called out again: "Sister."

She looks like a poor concubine who is oppressed by her sister-in-law.

Qiao Yuan looked at her coldly, expressionless: "Why are you here?"

Qiao Jia was not intimidated by her cold face, but even posted on it: "Tonight is my brother-in-law's celebration party. I knew my sister would definitely come. I begged my mother for a long time before agreeing to bring me."

She has a humble expression and admiring eyes.

On one side is the well-behaved younger sister, on the other is the domineering older sister, and the eyes all around are full of condemnation.

Qiao Yuan was unmoved and said calmly: "Follow mother and don't run around, so as not to cause trouble to others."

Qiao Jia's eyes slowly dimmed.

Qi Wei, who was on the sidelines, looked angry. It seemed that the rumors were true, that Qiao Yuan actually bullied her sister in a wheelchair.

At this time, the gate of the palace opened, and a group of people followed the guide to the imperial garden.

At this time, the imperial garden was decorated with lights and colorful decorations, and the palace maids and eunuchs came and went carrying dishes.

Qiao Yuan found a place to sit and breathe alone, and when he estimated that the time was almost up, he got up and returned to the banquet.

This time more eyes fell on her.

The Marquis of Zhenbei repeatedly performed extraordinary feats and won the emperor's favor, and even Qiao Yuan also benefited from it.

Li Yue's eyes were filled with resentment. She fell into the water with Qiao Yuan last time, and then servants from the Zhenbei Hou Mansion came to collect debts in a big way. She was completely humiliated.

Before, I always heard people say that the lady of Li Shilang's family looked beautiful on the surface, but in fact she couldn't even afford to pay for the damage to her hairpin.

Whose hairpin costs 500 taels.

Li Yue concluded that Qiao Yuan was talking too much, but was scolded by Father Li who felt embarrassed. He could only grit his teeth and pay 500 taels in compensation. After that, he was unable to go out for several days.

Now that she saw Qiao Yuan in the limelight, she gritted her teeth with hatred.

"What are you proud of? It's not like you can only marry a rough martial artist. How can it hurt others..."

She kept fantasizing about Qiao Yuan's unhappy marriage, her teeth being knocked out and her blood swallowed. She suddenly bumped into someone behind her and almost fell down.

Li Yue was already in a bad mood, but when someone bumped into her, she burst into a fit of anger: "You don't have eyes!"

Qiao Jia was so frightened by her that she almost burst into tears: "Sister, I'm sorry."

Li Yue stood firm and looked, it was Qiao Jia.

Huh, she can't do anything to Qiao Yuan, can't she do anything to her sister?
As soon as Qiao Yuan came in, her eyelids jumped when she saw a group of people gathered around.

Getting closer, the chaotic scene came into view.

Li Yue lifted her chin triumphantly, her cheap sister fell to the side, her clothes were messed up, and the wheelchair fell down, she tried to stand up helplessly, but fell back halfway through the climb.

Due to Li Yue's power, the people around him could only stand aside and watch the fun.

Sure enough.

Qiao Yuan couldn't explain how she felt. From the moment she saw Qiao Jia, she knew the banquet would not be peaceful.

Seeing Qiao Yuan, Li Yue was subconsciously a little nervous.Although Qiao Yuan didn't wait to see this younger sister, it's hard to guarantee that she wouldn't feel that she was stepped on to settle accounts with her.

Unexpectedly, Qiao Yuan just raised his eyelids and didn't even ask. He only asked Hong Yu behind him to help Qiao Jia up.

Qiao Jia trembled and was pushed over while crying.

She was thin and huddled in the wheelchair, her face was wet with tears, and she looked very pitiful.

Qiao Yuan rubbed her forehead and asked her, "Did you bring extra clothes?"

Usually when attending a banquet, thoughtful people will bring a spare set of clothes to avoid accidents.

Qiao Jia looked blank.

She didn't bring it herself, so naturally Mother Qiao wouldn't think of bringing it for her.

Qiao Yuan had no choice but to tell Hong Yu to get the clothes from her carriage, and then pointed a palace maid to take Qiao Jia to an empty palace to wait.

Qiao Jia had tears in her eyes: "Sister, can you stay with me? I'm afraid."

Qiao Yuan frowned, the disgust in his eyes couldn't be concealed.

Qiao Yuan didn't want to care about her, and was afraid of causing trouble if he didn't agree to her, so he walked out with her with a cold face.
