After marrying a powerful minister, the female partner was pampered

Chapter 349 Qiao Jingjing, be careful!

"Better now." The eldest princess's face brightened slightly, "You guys come up."

"Yes." Qiao Jingjing responded.

Lu Shuangshuang hurried forward to support her, "Be careful."

Seeing her cautious look, Qiao Jingjing whispered, "How can I be so delicate?"

"It's better to be careful, otherwise mother and brother will skin me alive." Lu Shuangshuang said exaggeratedly.

Qiao Jingjing laughed, "How can it be so exaggerated?"

"It's no exaggeration. You are our family's treasure now. You can't be bumped or dropped." Lu Shuangshuang said with a serious expression.

Qiao Jingjing: "..."

The two entered the carriage, and the eldest princess's eyes were fixed on Qiao Jingjing's belly, "Is she really pregnant?"

Qiao Jingjing knew that she had heard the conversation between her and Shuangshuang, so she admitted it generously without any hesitation, "Yes, I asked my brother to tell you last time. Did he tell you?"

"He did mention it." The princess frowned, "But I thought you made it up because you didn't want to come to the princess's mansion."

Qiao Jingjing's mouth twitched. "I wouldn't make up something like this even if I wanted to. Besides, how could I not want to go to the Princess's Mansion to accompany you? I was injured at the time."

"Is your injury better now?" the eldest princess asked with concern.

"Yeah, it's healed now." Qiao Jingjing touched the area under her ribs and nodded.

"Why did that man want to assassinate you?" The eldest princess was puzzled.

"It was the man sent by Yu to kill me before he died. He had been lurking in the mansion the whole time. After I parted with you that day, I was assassinated as soon as I entered the mansion." Qiao Jingjing explained.

"Yu is so vicious. She deserves to die!" The eldest princess was angry.

Qiao Jingjing didn't want to mention Yu's anymore, so she changed the subject and said, "By the way, Your Highness, my brother and my father are going to Sifang Town tomorrow. Did my brother tell you about this?"

The princess was stunned. "What are they going to do?"

"It's like this, my father wants to take me back to the Qin family, but he wants to ask my adoptive father's opinion, so they plan to go to Sifang Town." Qiao Jingjing did not hide it from her and told her the truth.

Upon hearing this, the princess said calmly, "He didn't tell me."

"He has been busy these days, so he may have forgotten. He should tell you later." Qiao Jingjing said. Even if her brother really forgot, she would remind him.

After all, I'm going on a long journey, so I should tell His Highness.

The eldest princess felt uncomfortable, "Why did he tell me what to do? I have no control over where he is going."

"Why can't I control it? You are my brother's wife. He should tell you where he is going." Qiao Jingjing said with a smile.

The princess paused, her face flushed, and she gritted her teeth and said, "Qiao Jingjing, be careful!"

Qiao Jingjing was puzzled, "Why didn't I pay attention to my own limits?"

The princess took a deep breath and said angrily, "Your brother and I haven't gotten married yet, so be careful with your words!"

Qiao Jingjing nodded, "I made a mistake. Next time I will definitely change it to 'the daughter-in-law who will marry into the family'."

The eldest princess: "..."

She felt that Qiao Jingjing was teasing her on purpose, and she couldn't help herself, so she reached out and pinched Qiao Jingjing's face.

Qiao Jingjing begged for mercy quickly, "Your Highness, please spare my life..."

The eldest princess snorted coldly but did not let go.

Seeing this, Lu Shuangshuang couldn't help but said, "Your Highness, my sister-in-law is pregnant, so don't bother with her."

The eldest princess glared at her and said, "You actually help her and not me?"

Lu Shuangshuang paused.

"Qiao Jingjing is your sister-in-law, but I am still your aunt." The eldest princess was displeased.

Lu Shuangshuang: "..."

Qiao Jingjing took the opportunity to push the eldest princess' hand away.

The princess glanced at her and said, "Qiao Jingjing, you are so brave!"

Qiao Jingjing approached her with a playful smile, "My child's future aunt, please calm down." Hearing this, the eldest princess looked annoyed, "Qiao Jingjing, are you deliberately making me angry?"

"No, I just want you to be happy." Qiao Jingjing said sincerely.

The eldest princess took a deep breath and said, "Stay away from me."

Qiao Jingjing: "..."

Lu Shuangshuang, who was standing aside, looked at the two of them and covered her mouth with a handkerchief as she laughed.

She never knew that the eldest princess was so fun in private.

Just as she was thinking this, she saw the eldest princess staring at her face with an unfriendly look, "What are you laughing at?"

Lu Shuangshuang was stunned, put down her hands, and said seriously: "I'm not laughing."

The eldest princess narrowed her eyes and said, "I saw it all."

She found that she had lost all her dignity since she started hanging out with Qiao Jingjing.

It seems like no one is afraid of her anymore.

Hearing this, Lu Shuangshuang explained, "I'm not making fun of Your Highness. I just think Your Highness is different from the ones I've seen before. I think you, you're very cute."

The eldest princess was startled.

Qiao Jingjing agreed: "Yes, Your Highness is very cute."

The eldest princess reacted with an uncomfortable look on her face, "Don't talk nonsense!"

Qiao Jingjing's eyes were full of smiles, but she stopped teasing her and changed the subject: "Your Highness, do you know why the Queen Mother summoned us to the palace?"

"There shouldn't be anything wrong. She must be bored, so she asked us to go to the palace to play cards with her." The eldest princess frowned.

Qiao Jingjing felt relieved after hearing this.

It would be fine if it was just playing cards, but she was worried that it was for something else.

Soon, the carriage entered the palace and went smoothly all the way to the Cining Palace where the Empress Dowager lived.

When the three of them went in, they saw Qin Yue'er was there too, but her face was covered with tears and she looked very sad.

Suppressing their doubts, the three stepped forward and saluted the Empress Dowager.

The Queen Mother's expression was originally a little ugly, but after seeing the three people, it eased a little, "You all take a seat."

"Thank you, Queen Mother." The three of them stood up and sat on the chairs nearby.

The Empress Dowager's gaze fell on Qin Yue'er again, "Yue'er, I hope you will remember what I just said to you, and don't lose face as a noble lady in the capital."

"Yue'er knows." Qin Yue'er said with a trace of embarrassment on her face and lowered her head.

The Queen Mother gave her a look of annoyance and was about to ask her to leave when the palace servants sang, "The Emperor has arrived—"

Upon hearing this, Qiao Jingjing and the others immediately stood up.

After a while, the emperor walked in from outside.

"Greetings, Your Majesty." Everyone knelt down and saluted.

The emperor glanced at several people, and finally stopped at Lu Shuangshuang for a moment, then stepped forward and helped the eldest princess up, "Everyone, get up."

"Thank you, Your Majesty." Qiao Jingjing and others stood up.

The emperor walked up to the empress dowager and bowed, "Your son greets you, mother."

The Empress Dowager gave him a meaningful look and said, "The Emperor has arrived just in time."

The emperor coughed lightly and said, "I heard that the emperor's sister entered the palace, so I came to see her."

The eldest princess sneered in her heart.

Why didn't she see him being so attentive to her when she entered the palace before?

This guy clearly came to see his fiancée.

Thinking of this, she glanced at Lu Shuangshuang with a playful look.

Lu Shuangshuang frowned slightly, feeling a little nervous. She didn't expect the emperor to come to the Cining Palace.
