The system asked me to chase his wife

Qiao Yuandong lowered his head and thought for a while, then asked, "What does father think about this matter?"

"Mr. Zhongshu Ling is very patient and has not interfered too much in Jing'er's affairs."

Qiao Yuandong couldn't help but breathe a sigh of relief when he heard this. It seemed that his father didn't have any dangerous ideas that could go any further.

The Queen consoled her, "Actually, there's no need to be so anxious. With Jing'er and I here, we can ensure that the Qiao family will prosper for a hundred years."

Qiao Yuandong was shocked and bowed his head respectfully, "I will tell my father what the queen meant. Don't worry, the queen."

The Queen's words were meant to remind the Qiao family to hide their shortcomings and also to comfort the Qiao family.

But the Queen is the mother of the country after all, so Qiao Yuandong has to say this.

Seeing that Qiao Yuandong understood what she meant, the queen smiled with relief: "I always have to consider my family."

"Your Majesty is merciful."

After leaving the Queen's bedroom, Qiao Yuandong followed the palace maid who led the way and walked on the white marble path.

She had something on her mind and walked absent-mindedly with her head down. She didn't even notice that the palace maid walking in front of her stopped, and she almost bumped into someone and made a fool of herself.

"Why are you out of your mind?" The eldest princess's slightly teasing voice sounded.

When Qiao Yuandong looked up, he saw the eldest princess standing in front of him. The palace maid who led the way had already been sent away by her.

Two pairs of gold-studded phoenix hairpins were inserted into her high bun, and her knee-length skirt was embellished with a similar phoenix-pattern gourd-shaped patch.

Golden, bold and unrestrained, just like the eldest princess's flying eyebrows at this moment. When Qiao Yuandong saw her like that, he knew that the lawsuit was successful today.

"What did your majesty say?" she asked knowingly.

"Humph!"

The eldest princess raised her chin and mentioned Prince Ma with contempt in her eyes.

"That filthy and stupid guy, if you mess with me, you will never get the title in this life. I didn't kill him, that's my mercy!"

Qiao Yuandong understood that the next generation of heirs of the Zhaochenghou family was going to be changed.

"And that foolish old man, Marquis Zhaocheng, who raised such a son, deserves to be reprimanded by His Majesty!"

Oh, the poor son even implicated his father!

I’m afraid that after Marquis Zhaocheng is scolded by the emperor, he will turn around and vent his anger on Prince Ma.

By doing this, the emperor was able to vent his sister's anger.

As for the female lover, he naturally just left it vague.

The princess was not extravagant, nor did she form cliques for personal gain, nor did she interfere in state affairs. She just liked a woman. What was unforgivable?
After the princess finished speaking, she saw Qiao Yuandong looking up at her with an unfathomable look in his eyes. She couldn't help but ask, "What, what's wrong?"

Since there was no one around, Qiao Yuandong simply asked directly, "I never thought you would go to this extent for a woman."

The princess glared at her in dissatisfaction: "What kind of woman is this? She is Qingqing!"

Qiao Yuandong looked at her helplessly, and after a moment of silence, he couldn't help but ask, "Did you know from the beginning that she was a girl?"

The eldest princess seemed to remember her past relationship with that man and nodded with a slight blush on her face.

Qiao Yuandong bit his lip unconsciously: "But she is a woman."

The love between men and women is the harmony of yin and yang, which is natural.

But no one has ever said that women and women can
Seeing Qiao Yuandong's embarrassed look, the princess knew what he meant, so she raised her head.

"I, Xiao Yun, am the eldest princess of the Great Jin Dynasty, and my brother is the emperor of the Great Jin Dynasty. I don't need to consider other people's opinions in my life. I am happy and it is none of other people's business!"

As she spoke, the princess glanced at Qiao Yuandong and said, "You are not trying to persuade me with some old conventions, are you?"

Qiao Yuandong smiled, shook his head and said sincerely: "I admire the princess's freedom and ease."

Can there be such a passionate relationship between women?

of course can!

The eldest princess can do it. Not only can she do it, she can also make it public, without caring what others think.

Really, really.
envy!

"Humph, you are indeed a friend that this princess likes!" The eldest princess smiled proudly: "Come on, this princess will treat you to a drink!"

Today is the first day of school at the Imperial College, so Xiang Xiu'an naturally has to report.

The servant who worked part-time as a book boy sent him to the Imperial College and then went back. The doctor who was checking the identity at the gate did not let the book boy in.

Xiang Xiu'an carried his small bookcase and entered the Imperial College.

If you meet someone younger on the street, you should say "Hello, classmate"; if you meet someone older, you should say "Hello, senior brother"; if you meet someone wearing a Confucian robe or a Confucian scarf, you should respectfully call him "Sir".

School starts today, but the Imperial College will not officially begin classes. Students are just asked to prepare the books for class in advance.

Whether the teacher wants to teach "The Book of Documents" or "Zuo Zhuan" or the Six Arts, there is a long list of books, and students need to fill in the missing books according to the list.

Some wealthy families have large collections of books, so they don't have to worry about these things at all, or those with sufficient financial resources can just go to the bookstore and buy them.

As for some poor scholars, they had no choice but to borrow books from their classmates to copy.

Xiang Xiu'an found his Class A and met Liu Chong who was also in Class A. The two exchanged a few words and then agreed to go to the bookstore together to buy some pens, ink, paper and inkstone.

After all, studying is a very expensive thing.

On the way, Xiang and Liu met Wu Wendong. After asking, they found out that he had gone to Class C.

Facing the sympathetic eyes of Xiang Xiu'an and Liu Chong, Wu Wendong said sourly: "Tsk, studying is not as cool as fighting in the battlefield!"

The two-person team that purchased writing brushes, ink, paper and inkstone expanded to three people.

After leaving the Imperial College, the carriage drove onto the street. Less than 300 meters away, there was a bookstore with relatively bright decoration.

The three of them entered the bookstore and happened to see Liu Wuniang squatting in front of the bookshelf looking for a storybook to read.

Wu Wendong crouched over and tried to scare her, but Liu Wuniang threw a rolled-up book at his face.

"You! You! You!" Wu Wendong covered his face in shock and grievance, looking at Liu Wuniang in disbelief.

Xiang Xiu'an was afraid that the reckless man would go berserk on the spot, so he quickly stepped forward to stop Liu Wuniang, "Okay, okay, she didn't mean it, don't be angry."

Liu Wuniang poked her head out from Xiang Xiu'an's shoulder and said fearlessly, "I told you not to scare me. Fortunately, I didn't hold a bamboo slip, otherwise my teeth would have been knocked out by you. Haha."

Before she could utter the rest, Xiang Xiu'an reached out and covered her mouth with his hand.

Liu Chong also knew Wu Wendong's temper, and he was also afraid that he would lose his temper, so he came over to try to smooth things over.

"Um, Wulang," Liu Chong was still choosing words, but suddenly he met Wu Wendong's tearful eyes.

"This is the first time in my life that someone has slapped me in the face." Wu Wendong's voice was choked with sobs.

My goodness, this kid was beaten to tears!
Xiang Xiu'an and Liu Chong were both dumbfounded.

Who in Beijing doesn’t know that Wu Wendong is a little bully who defies everyone?

I have always seen him making people cry, but when have I ever seen him cry?

"Ah? This, this..." Liu Chongzha didn't know how to comfort Wu Wendong.

Among these four people, Wu Wendong is the youngest, one year younger than Liu Wuniang.

Now he suddenly started crying, making Xiang Xiu'an and others feel guilty for bullying a child.

Except Liu Wuniang.

She pointed at Wu Wendong and said in surprise: "Huh? You're crying!"

Wu Wendong was about to cry, but was forced to hold back the tears by Liu Wuniang's words.

He wiped his face randomly and started to act like a spoiled child: "Who is crying? I'm not crying! I am..."

Before he could finish his words, Liu Wuniang stuffed a candy into his mouth.

"Okay, you are not allowed to cry after eating the candy!"

Wu Wendong: “.”

Xiang Xiu'an silently glanced at Liu Wuniang's purse filled with sugar, and Liu Wuniang immediately noticed his little look.

So he generously took out a candy and gave it to him, then turned around and gave another candy to Liu Chong.

Finally, Liu Wuniang wiped the non-existent sweat from her forehead and said with emotion: "Oh, it's so tiring to take care of children!"

Xiang Xiu'an and the other two: "???"

They were all a group of half-grown children, and their emotions came and went quickly. After a while, Wu Wendong had forgotten about the slap in the face.

Liu Wuniang enthusiastically selected writing brushes, ink, paper and inkstone for the three of them, and Wu Wendong read the script that Liu Wuniang had picked out with great interest.

"Hey, this ink is mixed with gold powder, and it smells delicious!" Liu Wuniang held up a piece of ink, as if she had found something good.

The waiter introduced Liu Wuniang attentively: "Madam, you have a good eye. This is pine soot ink from Huizhou. It is mixed with borneol and musk. It smells refreshing. If you use our pine soot ink to write articles, your inspiration will flow like a spring!"

After listening to the waiter's exaggerations, Liu Wuniang became very interested in the ink in his hand and planned to buy a few pieces to take home and give to her brothers.

If it’s cheaper, I can give one to each of my friends.

"How did you sell this?"

The waiter smiled more attentively and raised two fingers: "Not expensive, only twenty taels of silver per piece."

Liu Wuniang quickly put down the ink and said with a smile, "I'll look at something else."

Scholars should be more simple and not care about so many fancy things.

When the waiter mentioned the ink just now, Xiang Xiu'an and the other two were also quite interested, but after hearing the price, they also turned their heads away.

Twenty taels of silver is enough for an ordinary family in Beijing to spend for a whole year!
Liu Wuniang's monthly pocket money is limited, but she is not rich enough to buy a piece of ink like this.

Wu Wendong is a typical person who lives paycheck to paycheck. At the beginning of the month, he is the wealthy Master Wu, and at the end of the month, he is the poor little classmate Wu. Today happens to be the end of the month.

Xiang Xiu'an did have some spare money, but he felt that there was no need to buy such expensive ink for his own use.

After choosing their things, the four of them left the bookstore with their bags.

There were no classes in the Imperial College today, so Liu Chong said goodbye to the three people and went straight home.

Wu Wendong doesn't want to go home early, otherwise his father will force him to study. Without his grandfather around, little Wu has to live in fear.

Liu Wuniang also didn't want to go home early. Today was the day she sneaked out, and it would be too uneconomical to go back now.

Xiang Xiu'an patiently accompanied the two of them for a stroll down the street, and finally couldn't help asking, "Don't you have anything to do?"

Two pairs of eyes looked over at the same time.

"Well, we are a bit bored." Xiang Xiu'an didn't understand: "You can go home and read a book!"

Wu Wendong squinted at him and said, "I have no grudge against you, why do you want to disgust me?"

Liu Wuniang waved her hands and said, "I have read all those stories. There is nothing better."

As for the Four Books, Five Classics, Zhou Ji and Biographies, I'm sorry, they are not books at all to Liu Wuniang.

Upon hearing this, Wu Wendong said, "The bookstores in the capital are too small, so there must be few interesting books. The library in the Imperial College is really big."

Liu Wuniang blinked her sparkling eyes and asked him, "Are there any interesting books in there?"

Wu Wendong had never been to the library of the Imperial College, but he had already boasted so much that he had no choice but to continue making it up.

"Of course there are. How many books can be put into such a big building?"

Xiang Xiu'an said unhappily, "How could the Imperial College library possibly have storybooks?"

Liu Wuniang's bright eyes dimmed instantly, and Xiang Xiu'an immediately changed the subject: "But some travel notes and biographies that describe local customs and oddities are also very interesting."

When Liu Wuniang heard this, she immediately said, "Can you take me to see it?"

Xiang Xiuan: “???”

Wu Wendong patted his chest fearlessly and promised: "Leave this matter to me!"

Xiang Xiuan: “!!!”

Two sticks of incense later, the three little ones appeared under the wall of the Imperial College.

Liu Wuniang was now dressed in men's clothes, with her hair standing up high and dressed like a scholar, which made her originally round, chubby face look more heroic.

She bought this from a clothing store specifically in order to get into the Imperial College.

Xiang Xiu'an looked at the two men with a dark face as they pulled out a ladder from the haystack nearby.

He still couldn't figure out what he was thinking that led him to agree to such a ridiculous request as helping Liu Wuniang enter the Imperial College.

"So who can tell me where this ladder came from?"

Why do you, Wu Wendong, know there is a ladder here?
Wu Wendong smiled proudly at Xiang Xiu'an and said, "I told you guys you study hard all day and you don't believe me. I have many friends all over the world, how could I not know there is a ladder here?"

On the first day after learning that he was able to study at the Imperial Academy through imperial favor, Xiang Xiu'an studied hard with the goal of getting into a good class.

Wu Wendong searched all his friends and found out every detail of the Imperial College.

Which wall is the easiest to climb, which time period is unattended, which class is the best to take a nap in.
No one knows better than Wu Wendong!
Seeing Xiang Xiu'an standing there without moving, Wu Wendong urged him dissatisfiedly: "Come and help us hold the ladder!"

Xiang Xiu'an took a deep breath and resigned himself to doing as he was told.

Liu Wuniang was the first to flip over, Wu Wendong was the second, and Xiang Xiu'an was the last.

It has to be said that Wu Wendong's background work was excellent. The three of them climbed over the courtyard wall and saw the library not far away at a glance.

Moreover, there is a scattered apricot grove inside the courtyard wall, and outside the apricot grove is a remote gravel path. Usually, few people walk on it, and no one would notice that there are students climbing over the wall here.

Xiang Xiu'an had noticed that there was a ladder hidden in the corner of the wall.

It seems that these students in the Imperial College often climb over walls and sneak out.

The three of them straightened their clothes slightly, then walked swaggeringly onto the gravel road, followed the path, turned through the small garden, and came to the library.

It was almost noon and most of the students had gone to eat, so there was no one here at all.

"So this is what the Imperial College's library looks like." Liu Wuniang looked a little disappointed.

This was just a slightly larger wooden building, not as majestic as the city defense building that her father had taken her to!
"Shh!" Wu Wendong made a hushed gesture to Liu Wuniang and whispered, "There is a collection doctor on the first floor. You better keep your voice down so he doesn't hear you!"

Liu Wuniang nodded with her mouth closed.

Students need an ID badge to enter the library to read books. The library doctor in the lobby on the first floor is responsible for checking identities and occasionally checking whether anyone is hiding books or taking them out.

Outsiders like Liu Wuniang are not qualified to enter the library through the main gate.

In order to get Liu Wuniang in, Wu Wendong also formulated a plan to make a feint to the east and attack in the west.

Xiang Xiu'an entered through the main gate with his ID card. While the doctor was checking the card, Wu Wendong and Liu Wuniang climbed through the window.

There were only three or two students reading in the building, and no one noticed their actions.

The plan went smoothly. The doctor in charge of the library saw that Xiang Xiu'an was a new student and praised him for his diligence.

After the three of them entered the library, they began looking for books among the rows of bookshelves.

The second and third floors are filled with Confucian classics, and only the first floor has the kind of strange travel stories that Liu Wuniang wants to read.

The reason why libraries include this kind of books is that many travel notes and local chronicles can often reflect the customs and folkways of a certain place, which is also the part that students need to understand and learn.

Soon Liu Wuniang found a book called "A Study on the Folk Customs of the Western Regions". After opening it, she immediately fell in love with it.

When this type of book talks about local customs, it also inserts some local anecdotes that the author has heard, which is very interesting.

When the three were watching with great interest, a surprised voice suddenly came from the side.

"Huh? What a coincidence to meet Xiang Lang here." Xiang Xiu'an was startled by the voice. He looked up and saw Yun Xingqing.

"Senior Brother Yun." Xiang Xiu'an stood up suddenly and blocked Wu Wendong and Liu Wuniang behind him.

Yun Xingqing was also a student of the Imperial Academy. He entered school two years earlier than Xiang Xiu'an, so Yun Xingqing felt no pressure when Xiang Xiu'an called him "senior brother".

At this time, he was wearing the student uniform issued by the Imperial College and a scholar's scarf on his head. It was obvious that he also came to the library to look for books.

Unexpectedly, he met Xiang Xiu'an here. Yun Xingqing pondered his relationship with Qiao Yuandong and felt that he should take care of this junior.

He curiously leaned over to look at the person who was sitting and reading with Xiang Xiu'an, and unexpectedly met Wu Wendong's head.

The two looked at each other for only a moment, and then Wu Wendong suddenly retracted his head.

At the beginning, in order to vent his anger for his grandson, Wu Hongyi brought people to cause trouble for the Duke of Zhenguo's Mansion. Yun Xingqing chased Wu Wendong and beat him up afterwards, almost beating his brains into a dog's brain.

Xiao Wu is still traumatized by this incident.

"Huh? When did you start walking together with the kid from the Wu family?" Yun Xingqing asked curiously.

With the continuous noises, Liu Wuniang's attention was diverted from the book, and she tilted her head to look at the person coming.

When Yun Xingqing saw Liu Wuniang, his eyes widened instantly.

At the hairpin banquet at the princess's mansion, he happened to see Liu Wuniang on stage wielding a whip, and naturally recognized her.

Yun Xingqing never expected that these two guys would actually bring the young lady into the Imperial College!

"Great! You actually..." Yun Xingqing pointed at the three little ones and swallowed the second half of the sentence.

After all, this is not the place to talk.

Looking at the three nervous people, Yun Xingqing said unhappily: "Come on, let's talk outside!"

The three of them returned the same way. Xiang Xiu'an went through the main gate, while Wu Wendong and Liu Wuniang climbed through the window. Yun Xingqing's eyelids twitched as he watched.

When Xiang Xiu'an followed Yun Xingqing out of the Imperial College with his head down, he unexpectedly found that Wu Wendong and Liu Wuniang were waiting for them.

So loyal!

Yun Xingqing looked at the two men with a half-smile: "Why, do you want me to go to your houses and file a complaint in person?"

Upon hearing this, Wu Wendong and Liu Wuniang turned around and ran, one faster than the other.

Xiang Xiuan: “.”

After sending the two children away, Yun Xingqing turned to Xiang Xiu'an and said, "Let's go. I'll take you back."

Xiang Xiu'an opened his mouth, wanting to say that we are not that familiar with each other, so there is no need for you to be so considerate.

But before he could say anything, Yun Xingqing had already walked out. Xiang Xiu'an had no choice but to follow him obediently.

Yun Xingqing personally sent Xiang Xiu'an back to the Duke's Mansion, and took the opportunity to talk to Qiao Yuandong about the child's education.

When Qiao Yuandong heard from the servant that Xiang Xiu'an had brought Yun Xingqing back, she sent someone to bring Master Yun to the flower hall and let Xiang Xiu'an accompany him first while she went to meet the guest later.

Xia Mang was helping Qiao Yuandong change clothes when she suddenly heard a voice coming from the system in her mind.

"Go and keep an eye on that guy for me!"

Xia Mang was stunned for a moment before she understood what Xiang Xiukai meant. She didn't understand and said, "Didn't you say that you would let the lady find another good match? Now you regret it?"

Xiang Xiukai choked, then said confidently: "That's different, everyone else can do it, but this kid can't!"

'Why? '

Xiang Xiukai said bitterly: "When I married Dong Niang, he was the one who tried the hardest to stop me. Humph!"

Xia Mang: 'You are so stingy!'

Xiang Xiukai: 'Stop talking nonsense and go quickly.'

Xia Mang smiled coldly: "Is this your attitude when asking others to do something for you?"

Xiang Xiukai: '.What do you think?'

Xia Mang said in a businesslike manner: "Follow the procedures!"

Xiang Xiukai understood, and soon the familiar and pleasant ding-dong sound was heard.

'Ding, system task released, host, please monitor the target person Yun Xingqing and put an end to any suspicious behavior of the target.'

A message ended, followed by another sound.

'Please note that the host is not allowed to cheat points by any loopholes. Once discovered, the system has the right to cancel the task reward! '

Wow! This is a smart lesson!
Xia Mang accepted the task.

Qiao Yuandong finished her makeup and sat on the embroidery stool in front of the dressing table. She looked up at Xia Mang and asked, "Do you think my makeup is appropriate?"

Xia Mang looked at Qiao Yuandong's serious expression and thought of the saying: Women dress up to please themselves!

Look, he is so nervous just to see Yun Xingqing.

Xiao Xiang is in danger!

But, what does it have to do with her?

Xia Mang just kept praising her: "Madam is naturally beautiful, and after this make-up, she is really as beautiful as a fairy!"

"You are such a sweet talker." Qiao Yuandong pursed her lips and chuckled. She didn't even notice that her earlobe had turned a light red.

When Xia Mang saw Qiao Yuandong's reaction, the first thought in his mind was: Well, this time the flattery was right!
