the first lady

Chapter 55

"Second brother, third brother, there is quite a lot of movement in the Yi tribe right now. It is not a good time for the brotherhood to personally divorce the emperor." Zong Zhengye looked at Qiao Ling'er and Zong Zhengyan and said firmly to them.

"Brother, did you forget that there is another General Wu?" Zong Zhengyan reminded.

Qiao Ling'er frowned suddenly when she heard the words, and asked Zong Zhengye, "Brother, is General Wu here?"

"Well, what?" Zong Zhengye nodded.

"He met me during the emperor's [-]th birthday banquet..." Qiao Linger frowned, how could she have forgotten this?
"General, Vice General Wu, please see me!" There was a message from a soldier outside.

As soon as the sound came out, the faces of the people in the tent changed slightly.

"Second sister-in-law!" Zongzheng Yan quickly called out in a low voice, and at the same time passed a piece of soft stuff in his hand.

Qiao Ling'er immediately took it and pasted it on her face, then walked to the desk and sat down.Her height was not as tall as Zongzheng Yi's, and even with a human skin mask, she couldn't hide her past.

Fortunately, Zong Zhengyi asked Qiao Yishu to make a mask of his own, just in case, but it really came in handy.

Helian Feiqi was stunned when he heard Zong Zhengyan's name, she... is the Fourth Miss of Qiao Mansion?
She turned out to be the fourth lady of the Qiao family, the rumored second family?How can this be?
Helian Feiqi couldn't come to his senses for a while, was the rumor heard in the capital wrong, or was this the true face of Fourth Miss Qiao?

However, although Helian Feiqi was surprised, he didn't reveal too much, these are not things he should care about!

"Let General Wu come in!" Seeing that Qiao Ling'er was fully prepared, Zong Zhengye gave orders to the soldiers outside after being slightly surprised.

In order not to make Qiao Linger sit alone behind the desk, it would be too weird, Helian Feiqi also sat down with her nearby.

The curtain of the camp tent was lifted, and a man with a serious and upright face walked in.However, the first thing he saw was not Zong Zhengye and Zong Zhengyan who were standing, but Qiao Linger and Helian Feiqi who were sitting down disguised as Zong Zhengyi.

Qiao Ling'er looked at General Wu fearlessly, imitating Zong Zhengyi, gentle and refined.Xu Shi had been with Zong Zhengyi for a long time, and then he was also infected with his detached temperament.

"The last general will see the third prince and the prime minister." General Wu Wu Chao clasped his fists.

"General Wu, you don't need to be too polite!" He Lianfei raised his hand, quite regal.

Zongzheng Yan's eyes fell on Qiao Ling'er, and he couldn't help frowning. If she made a sound, she would definitely go through.

However, Qiao Linger still spoke: "General Wu!"

As soon as she spoke, surprise flashed in the eyes of several people, without any noise, it was Zong Zhengyi's own voice.Zongzheng Yan even subconsciously looked in other directions to see if his second brother was here.

Wu Chao also frowned imperceptibly, turned to Zong Zhengye and said, "General, the Yi army seems to be uneasy, how should our army respond?"

When these words came out, Zong Zhengye turned cold and hard: "General Wu, is this your first day as a general? Is this the first time that the Yi people feel uneasy?"

To a certain extent, Zong Zhengye fully displayed his general style at this time, and it also allowed Qiao Linger to see the appearance of the real boss of Zong Zheng's family, which was indeed worthy of his title!
General Zhennan!If you don't have the corresponding temperament, how can you be worthy of the title of Zhennan General?

"General?" Wu Chao looked a little embarrassed, blushing and shouted.

Helian Feiqi smiled slightly, stood up and said, "I'm afraid General Wu came in to ask why I'm here?"

Wu Chao did not deny it, and asked frankly and solemnly: "The third prince was supposed to be stationed on the border of the Yi tribe, why did he appear here?"

"I come here to see my friends, do I still need the consent of General Wu?" Helian Feiqi asked sarcastically, he knew very well that Wu Chao was someone close to Emperor Wu.Especially not long ago, Emperor Wu handed over the robbers of the Yi clan to him instead of supporting Zong Zhengye. He had already noticed something was wrong.

"The last general has no such intention." Wu Chao replied.Although it is a respectful word, it does not have any color of fear.

"Okay, General Wu, the third prince is here just to see this general, you don't have to be surprised, just do what you are supposed to do." Zong Zhengye said seriously.

After all, Wu Chao is someone close to Emperor Wu, and Zong Zhengye already knew something about it when Emperor Wu sent him here.

"The general understands, it's just..." Wu Chao's eyes naturally fell back on Qiao Ling'er and Zong Zhengyan.

Zong Zhengyan smiled calmly, looked at the ruler in Qiao Linger's hand and said, "General Wu, the second brother came here to tailor clothes for the eldest brother according to the emperor's secret order."

"Tailor clothes? Why?" Wu Chao asked in surprise.

Qiao Ling'er smiled and said: "General Wu will know about this matter in three days, but please let General Wu forget it. This is the emperor's secret order. I will tell the general to listen to the truth in order to prevent the general from being suspicious."

Wu Chao frowned and nodded: "The general understands."

Naturally, he should not publicize the emperor's secret orders, but at least he is also a deputy general. Although he is not as good as Zong Zhengye, let alone the prime minister, it seems inappropriate for the prime minister to sit and talk to him like this.

Seemingly seeing Wu Chao's dissatisfaction, Qiao Ling'er continued: "I sprained my ankle, so I couldn't stand up and talk to the general. I still hope that the general is Haihan. Don't take offense."

Hearing the "Prime Minister"'s explanation, Wu Chao relaxed his eyebrows, and everyone in the court admired him very much.Although he is jealous of Zong Zhengye, he will not implicate Zong Zhengyi because of this. Like others, he admires the prime minister from the bottom of his heart.

"If that's the case, the last general won't bother you." Wu Chaodu first clasped his fists at Qiao Linger, and then turned to Helian Feiqi and Zong Zhengye.

"Please!" Qiao Linger replied politely.

Wu Chao walked out of the camp, and when he was far away, several people spoke again.

Zong Zhengyan first said: "Second sister-in-law, fortunately, second elder brother asked Mr. Qiao to prepare a mask for him before he came, otherwise he would really have to wear a mask." In the words, it is not difficult to hear that he was relieved.

Qiao Ling'er smiled and touched the mask on her face. In fact, wearing a mask is not very comfortable, but this kind of disguise technique really made her see the wisdom of ancient people.Unlike plastic surgery in the 21st century, unless you have plastic surgery every day, how can it be so powerful?
But then again, when she saw General Wu at the palace banquet that day, she really never thought that he had already returned to the barracks at this time, so she just used her own appearance to show her identity here.Fortunately, Zong Zhengyi was thoughtful enough, and thought of making a mask of his own just in case, otherwise, if the difficult General Wu found out that the woman had entered the barracks, it would be a crime of beheading!

"Your second brother has always been thoughtful." Zong Zhengye also admired that second brother very much, not only him, but most of them.

Qiao Ling'er silently agreed in her heart, Zong Zhengyi was indeed very powerful.

Suddenly I really want to see him!
"By the way, second sister-in-law, your voice just now..." Zong Zhengyan didn't deny Zong Zhengye's words, and suddenly thought of second sister-in-law pretending to be his second brother.

The mask is flawless, Qiao Yishu's craftsmanship is there, but does the flawless voice not fit her identity?

Qiao Ling'er stood up from behind the table and said, "How does my uncle think my voice is coming from?"

The playful voice sounded, and immediately shocked the other three present, especially Zong Zhengyan.It's not that her words are so surprising, but that her voice is actually Zong Zhengyan's, including the tone of voice, which is almost the same.

"Second, second sister-in-law..." Zongzheng Yan opened his mouth wide in surprise, he could have stuffed two eggs in.

"Siblings?" Zong Zhengye knew from the first contact with her that she was not as rumored, but he never thought that she had such abilities!

Qiao Ling'er tapped her throat lightly with her fingers, adjusted her voice, and said with a smile: "This is called imitation voice. In layman's terms, it means imitating your voice."

I think she was played around by the teacher who taught her to imitate the voice, and she was young at the time, so she would not let it go when she encountered such a miraculous thing, and she studied very hard.So now it's easy to handle.

She hasn't used it since she came to ancient times. She didn't want it to come in handy today because of the existence of the Wu Dynasty. Fortunately, she studied hard enough back then!
Perhaps imitation sound is not surprising in the world of stealing, but among ordinary people, imitation sound is still very few people can hear, at most it is only ventriloquism.

"Madam Zongzheng has both ability and political integrity, I admire you." Helian Feiqi showed an admiring smile.

Qiao Ling'er also turned to Helian Feiqi, his smile contained nothing else, and she slightly let go of her wariness towards him that she had towards other royal families.

"The third prince congratulates me." Qiao Linger replied.

The indifferent and slightly guarded tone did not make Helian Feiqi feel disgusted. He is not an ignorant person, and he knows more about the royal family than anyone else.A marriage for politics involved the Qiao family of the second family. Do you still expect the Qiao family to look good?
There was a brief silence, but no one would be embarrassed. In the end, Qiao Ling'er broke the silence and said to Zong Zhengye, "Brother, my husband means that you want to go back."

"Why?" Zong Zhengye frowned.

"Brother, you should know the reason why the emperor married the sixth princess to you." Qiao Ling'er said flatly, "It is known to outsiders that you have a very good relationship with the third prince, and some people are guessing that you will marry him for the sake of the third prince. In fact, you will do the same if you resist the order and don’t obey it, won’t you?”

Zong Zhengye was silent, Helian Feiqi also had a downcast face, Zong Zhengyan waited for Qiao Linger's next words.

"If Eldest Brother really resists the edict and refuses to obey, regardless of the Zongzheng family, the Emperor will definitely put pressure on Eldest Brother. If General Wu's military exploits are higher, Eldest Brother, what do you think will happen?" Qiao Ling'er said in a low voice. asked aloud.

In fact, there are some things she doesn't understand, but Zong Zhengyi explained a lot to her before coming here, which made her suddenly understand.
