Qiao Yuyan looked at her face, "I remember telling the princess that the sky is big and the earth is big."
Jiahe suddenly laughed when she heard this, and she couldn't stop laughing. She even had to hold on to the city wall to steady herself.
She laughed for a while before slowly stopping, but the corners of her eyes were a little moist. Qiao Yuyan could only hear her murmuring the four words, "The sky is big and the earth is big..."
The sound slowly sank, sinking, as if it was blending into the night.
"What a pity! You told me too late!"
A palace official came from the steps, holding a big cloak in his hand, "Princess, the wind is strong on the city wall, take care of your body!"
Jiahe didn't refuse. When he saw the palace attendants bringing two pieces, he even praised them. When he saw Qiao Yuyan tied them, he waved his hand and told the palace attendants to step back.
"I really envy you. You grew up freely. You have seen mountains, famous rivers, bustling crowds, and tasted fireworks and delicious food. Tell me about Jiangzhou! I only live in Jiangzhou.
I have read about Jiangnan in the book. Is it really true that smokey willows paint bridges and wind curtains are green?"
Qiao Yuyan looked into her eyes under the firelight, feeling a little sad for no reason. She calmed down her mood before slowly talking about what happened to her when she was a child.
"Have you ever ridden a bull? You're not afraid of falling off!"
"If a girl goes into the water to touch crabs, won't she be gossiped about?"
"You went to take a peek at Qingjun's scholar, right?"
"..."
In fact, although Qiao Yuyan's rules in the Xu family are not as strict as those of other wealthy families in the capital, she is actually more restricted than ordinary women in the city.
She just transferred what she saw to herself and told Jiahe.
Seeing the longing look on her face, Qiao Yuyan smiled and said: "When there is a chance, the princess can go too!"
Jiahe's smile slowly sank, and he did not answer Qiao Yuyan's words.
She fell silent, and Qiao Yuyan didn't know what to say.
There was the sound of a brass chime downstairs, and it was the second watch.
Jiahe tightened his cloak and suddenly waved to the people to the west. Immediately, someone brought out a tied-up woman.
When she saw the person clearly, Qiao Yuyan was surprised.
Jiahe suddenly stretched out her hand to stop the officers and soldiers who were pressing her forward. She turned and looked at Qiao Yuyan with a smile, "Look at her, just look at her here."
Qiao Yuyan was puzzled, "Princess, is she going to..."
"You think I'm going to kill her?"
Princess Jiahe raised her eyebrows, and the smile on her face was confusing.
Qiao Yuyan glanced at Princess Jinghe over there again, and for a moment she didn't know what to say.
"You don't need to beg for mercy." Jiahe waved his hand and asked the soldier to push Princess Jinghe down again. "She really has no friendship with you."
"I remember, the first time I met the princess, she was with Princess Jinghe."
Hearing this, Jiahe sneered, "You and that Qiao Yuning are fighting like black-eyed chickens, how can you expect sisters from our royal family to love each other?"
Seeing that Qiao Yuyan didn't speak, Jiahe sneered for a while, "That time! That time she wanted to use Zhang Lun to harm me! I didn't expect that it didn't work, and I don't know who used the method to harm her.
It happened to me, and I feel embarrassed for her."
Qiao Yuyan was speechless. She only remembered that time when the two princesses were at the Song family's wedding banquet. She could not remember the situation between the two of them at that time.
"Let's put it this way! I can't see her well, who makes me jealous of her!"
Jiahe didn't seem to be talking about his jealous character, there was nothing unusual on his face, "But there are so many people I'm jealous of, most of them are gone, and I can't move a few of them.
It's an accident that you escaped. Maybe it's because I... my temper has been much better lately."
This left Qiao Yuyan even more speechless.
When people talk about her shortcomings, she can't go up and agree with them.
"You know Jinghe! Lao Qi is her biological brother, and Concubine Hui is going all out to seize the throne. Even those aristocratic families, there are many who are willing to flatter their bad feet.
We are different. My mother-in-law... Hehe... She knows what it means to seize a legitimate son, but it is just some dirty tricks. She clings to money desperately. For her, if she clings to money, she clings to the person.
Where is my fifth brother! Relatively speaking, he is a lot smarter and has some tricks to win people over, but my mother and concubine can’t trust me! She hasn’t been able to trust me since she was a child, so what can I do?
I am a princess, but I have to get involved in it, please get involved! Everyone is guarding me. I really don’t understand what a girl like me should be guarding against. Well..."
She stretched out her hand and drew a triangle on the snow at the top of the city. "These are the three of us. We rely on each other but don't trust each other. I really hate that Jinghe. You may not know that Concubine Hui will also make small snacks for her with her own hands."
Where's the clothes? And she's been fond of stabbing me with them since she was a child. She's obviously not as favored by my father as I am, but she still makes me so angry."
She rambled on about her past, while Qiao Yuyan listened quietly beside her.
I kept hearing the sound of horse hooves and the approaching battle.
"Actually, my mother also told me about the south you mentioned. She is from the south, but she only disliked it. She told me that those places were extremely poor and the people were rough. In short, she was very dismissive of it."
"I would like to take a look! Unfortunately, no one will take me there."
Qiao Yuyan was still speechless and could only listen to what she said.
"Actually! My fifth brother... is also very good to me. When he was a child, if Jinghe showed off anything in front of me, he would try his best to get me the same thing, but he didn't know that it wasn't those exquisite things that I envied.
What I envy are people who put a lot of thought into her craftsmanship.
Later, I slowly understood that my fifth brother had actually put a lot of effort into me, but when I was a child, I only cared about hating him."
Qiao Yuyan stepped forward and held her hand, "Jiahe, it's still too late. Let's find a way to escape now. You can change your clothes and put on the clothes of a palace maid. You can escape."
"Who wants you to be so kind? Have you forgotten that I killed you?" Jiahe suddenly sneered contemptuously, "Besides, why should I leave? I want to go to the north and south that day. I have my own next life, and I won't
Even if I have done too many evil things, is it possible that the Lord of Hell will still allow me to be reincarnated?"
"Jiahe..."
"I am Princess Jiahe. I was born in this imperial city, so naturally I have to protect her. My mother-in-law and my fifth brother have worked hard all their lives. I can't do nothing!"
"Why bother!" Qiao Yuyan couldn't help but roar at her, "Is human life so worthless? In your eyes!"
Jiahe smiled miserably, and suddenly with a strong force, Qiao Yuyan was trapped in his arms, and the dagger was pressed between her throat, "No! What's the value of human life? I'm going to make great progress, and there are more lives!"
