the first lady

Chapter 29

Immediately, she walked up to Zongzheng Wudi, and replied seriously: "Father is absolutely right, and my daughter-in-law will keep it in mind." Although her courage is not necessarily bold, she is not small, and she is definitely more courageous than a mouse.

"Hmph!" Zongzheng Wudi snorted coldly, as if he could smell the stench of copper if she stood closer, so he couldn't avoid it.

"Master!" Sima Yue was really speechless at Zongzheng Wudi's way of not showing face. This Linger is so cute, but this old-fashioned guy just doesn't understand his style at all, which really makes her want to knock him down.

Zongzheng Wudi didn't even bother to look at Qiao Linger and Zongzheng Yan, and left directly.

"My lord, it's time for dinner. You're going..." Before Sima Yue finished asking, Zongzheng Wudi had disappeared at the entrance of the inner hall.

Zong Zhengyan shifted his gaze from Qiao Ling'er to Sima Yue without a trace, and said, "Mother, you should know that stubborn old man best, only the elder brother and the second elder brother are pleasing to the eye."

"Third brother, don't be too playful, just stay with dad at home when you have time." Zong Zhengye looked like a grown-up man, coupled with his serious face, he was comparable to Zongzheng Wudi.

"Brother..." Zongzheng Yan had a bitter face, and it would be better to accompany that old man to enjoy the flowers with his beauty in his arms, and to drink and have fun.

"Come on, Ling'er, let's talk to my maid." Sima Yue dragged Qiao Ling'er to the side to chat in an unfamiliar way.

"Mother, elder brother, third younger brother..." Sima Yue pulled Qiao Ling'er to sit down, and then Zong Zhengyi's voice sounded from behind, followed by that gentle face.

A smile appeared on Zong Zhengye's stern face, "Yi, you're back!"

"Second brother." Zongzheng Yan did the same to this second brother, getting closer to him.

"...Msg.." As a wife, especially a wife of a wealthy family, there should be some rules, although Qiao Linger feels that such a title is really not used to.

Zong Zhengyi smiled slightly, and called out "Linger", which made Qiao Linger's face slightly warm.

Seeing that the young couple seemed to get along well, Sima Yue felt relieved.

Zong Zhengyan also looked at his second brother's attitude towards Qiao Ling'er. It didn't look like what he should have after he just got married. If his second brother was usually not close to women, even though there was a maid by his side, he never took a second look. , but looking at Qiao Linger at this time, it is different.

"Second brother, the three of us will have a good get-together in a while, it's rare that the eldest brother is free to come back this time." Zong Zhengyan temporarily suppressed the doubts about Qiao Ling'er that he had discussed with Feng Qing and the others in his heart and didn't say anything. There is no rush for this matter, they must investigate carefully.

Zongzhengyi hesitated for a moment, and then said to Zongzhengye: "Brother, the Yi tribe ransacked another village in the name of robbers. The emperor has ordered General Wu to go. Look..."

"I want to rush back to the south immediately!" Zong Zhengye had already turned and left before Zong Zhengyi finished speaking.

"Brother, wait!" Zongzheng Yi hurriedly grabbed him, and continued: "This matter needs to be discussed in the long run."

Zong Zhengyi said that it needs a long-term plan, so it needs to be dealt with separately. General Wu is Zong Zhengye's deputy general, but Emperor Wu knew that General Zhennan was in Beijing but did not let him lead the order. The stakes may not be that simple .

Qiao Ling'er knew before that the Yi people were in the south, and that all the military affairs in the south were handled by General Zhennan, and now that the general is here, the emperor ordered another general to go... She doesn't know anything A woman can understand the concealment with just a little thought.

Emperor Wu has already taken the first step, so the next step may not be so simple!

Qiao Ling'er's eyes could not help but turn cold, they have no idea what Emperor Wu really wants to do, the enemy is in the dark, they are in the open, conspiracy and tricks are hard to guard against!

The married daughter returns home after three days at her husband's house, even if the marriage was bestowed by Emperor Wu, this is no exception.

Early in the morning, after Qiao Ling'er greeted her father-in-law and mother-in-law, she and Zong Zhengyi got into the carriage back to Qiao's house. Emperor Wu seemed to have known about it early in the morning, so he didn't let Zong Zhengyi go to court.

"Are you nervous?" Qiao Ling'er suddenly asked with interest. It was said that a son-in-law would be very nervous when he saw his mother-in-law, but she couldn't see anything on Zong Zhengyi's face.

Zongzheng Yi smiled slightly and said, "A little bit."

"Really?" Qiao Ling'er protracted the two words, but she didn't notice it at all.

"Yes." Zong Zhengyi answered seriously.

"..." Qiao Ling'er didn't ask anymore. The man who couldn't see any emotion on his face even spoke inconceivably, so he said yes!
Seeing that Qiao Ling'er stopped talking, Zong Zhengyi spoke up: "Master Qiao and Mrs. Qiao must know that the emperor has ulterior motives for bestowing the marriage this time. I am one of the emperor's people, so I'm afraid I met them..."

"You don't have to worry about this!" Qiao Linger interrupted Zong Zhengyi before he could finish speaking. "Father, mother and eldest brother all know the situation this time, and you are just a pawn in the hands of the emperor, and will not anger you."

"I'm not..." Zong Zhengyi wanted to say that he wasn't afraid of being angered, but he didn't say anything when he saw Qiao Linger's joke.She must know what he meant, but deliberately misinterpreted it, so it's up to her.

Qiao Linger's smiling eyes were crescent-shaped, and she even felt like a bully who robbed a beautiful woman, and she was so excited!
Not long after, the carriage had arrived at the gate of Qiao's residence, and Yue Ying said towards the inside of the carriage: "Master, Second Young Madam, you have arrived."

"En." Zong Zhengyi responded, stepped out of the carriage first, and then stretched out his hand towards the carriage.

Qiao Ling'er was not restrained either. It would be strange if an ordinary man reached out to help her out of the carriage, but now that she was her legitimate husband, it was only natural that he should do so.

"Fourth Sister..." Qiao Ling'er just stood on the ground, and Qiao Yuchen's excited voice had already sounded. The scene where Zong Zhengyi helped her out of the carriage earlier really made him suspicious of what he saw. Arrived a beautiful picture.

"The next morning." Qiao Ling'er also showed a bright smile.

Qiao Yichen was excited when he saw the fourth sister, and at the same time, his eyes fell unconsciously on Zong Zhengyi, who could not be ignored in terms of appearance and temperament.

Seeing this, Zong Zhengyi smiled slightly, and shouted "Next morning" like Qiao Linger.

It's not just a woman's voice that can be described as Huang Ying's coming out of the valley. At this time, Zong Zhengyi's voice is even better than Huang Ying's.

Compared with Zong Zhengyi's calm and composure, Qiao Yichen seemed a little panicked. He had heard that the young prime minister was handsome and gentle, but he had never seen him before. Seeing him like this today makes people unable to look away.

"Fifth Young Master!" Ning Xiang lowered her voice and shouted to Qiao Yichen, who was in a daze. This Fifth Young Master is really strange, and she is not a woman.
When Ningxiang reminded her like this, Qiao Yichen scratched her head in embarrassment, and shouted: "Brother-in-law!" This brother-in-law shouted really awkwardly.

Qiao Ling'er couldn't help laughing at Qiao Yuchen's appearance, and immediately said: "Okay, Yichen, are you going to let me and your brother-in-law stay here and go back?"

"Fourth Sister..." Qiao Yuchen blushed in embarrassment immediately, and hurriedly gave way: "Fourth Sister, brother-in-law, hurry up and go in!"

Zong Zhengyi and Qiao Ling'er went hand in hand, and the servants of the Qiao Mansion had also met many important figures.I have seen many handsome men, the number one prince in the world Feng Qing, the fifth prince Helian Feiyu, the young master of the Ning family Ning Xiaojian, and the four sons of his own family, but never. I have seen a man with such a demeanor like a banished fairy.At such a young age, he is already a well-known prime minister in the entire Nanwu Kingdom, and he really has to clap his hands in amazement.

"By the way, Fourth Sister, the family is now..." Qiao Yichen was so excited that he forgot to tell the reason why his parents didn't come out, but now he came in and suddenly thought of it, which made him frown.

"What's wrong?" Qiao Ling'er couldn't help asking when she saw Qiao Yichen's tangled look.

"It's now..." Qiao Yichen took a peek at Zong Zhengyi while speaking, then paused before saying, "Fengqing is here too."

Fengqing has become a forbidden term in the Qiao family. From Qiao Zhan to the young master Qiao Yimin, all of them have been influenced by their parents and brothers, and they don't like this name.But at this moment, Feng Qing is at Qiao's house, it's inevitable...

Qiao Ling'er naturally knew why Qiao Yichen had a sour face. The former fiancé and her current husband met at the same time. One was afraid of her embarrassment, and the other was that Qiao's son-in-law, who was well-known and well-known, would take pleasure in seeing Feng Qing.

"Is there something for him to come today?" Qiao Ling'er knew Fengqing's place in the hearts of the Qiao family, and now that the Qiao family did not make trouble, there must be some reason.

Qiao Yichen was even more surprised to see that Qiao Ling'er asked such a simple question, and didn't even care about Zong Zhengyi at all, but seeing that Zong Zhengyi was still calm and indifferent, he really couldn't see any unnecessary emotions.

Zong Zhengyi didn't show much on his face, but what he thought in his heart was almost the same as that of Qiao Ling'er.

Before Qiao Yichen could speak, a slightly immature voice sounded from the side——

"Fourth Sister..." Along with the sound of "Pa Pa Pa Da" running away, the chubby body with shaking little hands ran towards Qiao Ling'er with two small legs.

Seeing the little meatball, Qiao Linger's eyes flashed, and she bent down to let the little guy run into her arms.

Picking up the little meat ball, Qiao Ling'er couldn't help frowning slightly and asked, "Min'er, have you gained weight? Why are you so heavy?" In just two or three days, has this little guy gained weight? ?
"Ling'er, he has a sandbag tied to his body." Zong Zhengyi couldn't help laughing when he saw the small bag on Qiao Yimin's back, and took it off.

"Sandbag?" After Qiao Yimin's sandbag was taken away, the little guy became lighter, "What is Min'er doing with the sandbag?"
