Come on, Jiaojiao, I'm sick too.

"Rebellious girl, what's with that look in your eyes?!" Dare to glare at her father? She's rebelling.

Wen Yuanzhao scolded angrily. During this period of time, he always felt that his daughter had changed and dared to go against him.

"Dad, I was eating a chicken leg and didn't see you. You are too sensitive. Dad, why are you so sensitive? Are you in menopause?" Wen Yuqing asked naively.

Wen Yuanzhao: “!!!”

Is he sensitive? Is he in menopause? He's not old yet!

Wen Yuanzhao was so angry that he was about to give his mother a lecture when his mother counterattacked him: "Okay, why are you still arguing with a child?"

"Hehehe, grandma is the best." Wen Yuqing was so arrogant. Tsk, she lost the qualification to participate in the flower viewing banquet, so what's wrong with saying a few bad words to him.

I heard that Xiao Juncheng would also be present at this flower viewing banquet, a large-scale concubine selection event, but it was a pity that she couldn't go. Another month passed, and she had been here for four months, but there had been no progress in the mission. If this continued, she really would have no chance.

"I'll ask your elder brother to take you to release lanterns later." She hopes to find a good husband. They have only one daughter in their family and don't expect her to marry into a wealthy family. She just hopes that she can marry into a kind and understanding family before she passes away so that she won't be bullied.

"Grandma, this is not good. Brother Qiqiao Festival may have his own things to do." Doesn't he have a beloved girl? Wen Yuqing glanced at Wen Huai.

"Grandma, I will take good care of Qing'er." Wen Huai responded. Why light lanterns or look for an ideal husband? Can't his Wen family support her?

Who knows what the man outside is thinking? If he gets bullied, he will run back crying. How embarrassing!

Wen Yuqing made a face at Wen Huai and said, "Lululu, who needs your care?"

"Wen Yuqing, what are you doing?" At the dinner table, the Prime Minister's wife, Wen Huai's mother, scolded, "What a disrespect!"

"Mother..." Wen Yuqing shrank beside the old lady with a frightened look.

"What are you doing? What are you doing? Qing'er and her brother were just joking. How can you be such a mother?" The old lady said unhappily.

Wen Huai also had a sullen face: "Mother, Qing'er and I were just joking, don't mind it."

It's so hard to get close to this girl, but I hope her mother doesn't ruin it. Maybe her mother is too strict in recent years and that's why she doesn't want to get close to her elder brother.

The eldest lady and her husband looked at each other and endured it fiercely. No one knew what kind of magic potion this dead girl had drugged both of them into protecting each other!

Wen Yuanzhao received the signal from his wife and said solemnly, "Wen Yuqing, learn the rules from your mother in a few days."

He thought he could shock someone by speaking, but he didn't expect that he would be stopped by his mother the moment he showed his face: "What are you studying? Go to the ancestral hall and study hard first! Don't think I don't know what you've done!"

If she hooks up with Prince Duan, one day her Prime Minister's Mansion will be dragged down by this troublesome thing. Well, it seems that she has to find someone to marry quickly, otherwise...

She was gone, and it was the Wen family's own fault, but she couldn't bear to see her granddaughter suffer.

Wen Yuanzhao!

Wen Yuqing: Hehehe~

Hearing the old lady's words, Wen Huai's eyes darkened. Perhaps, it was not a wise choice for his father to stand on the side of Prince Duan, but...

Never mind, he'll find a way...

"Mother, what's wrong with Yuanzhao standing on the side of Prince Duan? Don't worry. Don't forget that Prince Duan has the support of the general from your mother's family. It's still unclear who will take this position..." said the prime minister's wife. Her youngest son is still gaining experience in the military camp and will return triumphantly in the near future. By then, their Wen family will surely prosper.

"Shut up!" This time it was Wen Yuanzhao's turn to scold. It was not her place as a woman to interrupt in the court affairs.

-

After dinner, Wen Yuqing took Xiaotao for a walk on the street. This was the first time she went out at night since she came into this world, and she was accompanied by her dying brother.

"Miss, that little rabbit lantern is so beautiful." Xiao Tao said softly, staring at the lantern sold by the vendor in front.

"Let's go buy one." Wen Yuqing said proudly. Her little Taotao's preferences must be satisfied.

Wen Huai raised his eyes and glanced at the little maid. She was so disrespectful that she actually asked her master to buy things for her. Humph, why didn't she give him, her big brother, a gift? He thought sourly.

During this period, every time he came back from outside, he would bring some cakes and snacks to a certain heartless little girl. He wanted to use this to ease the brother-sister relationship between the two. Now Wen Yuqing dared to make faces and jokes with him, which was a good progress, but he wanted a sister who could act coquettishly with him, like she did with her grandmother.

Just as he was thinking about how to treat her better next time, he suddenly felt a passionate gaze...

At this moment, his servant Ade was looking at him with warm eyes...

Wen Huai: "Get lost!"

Ade:

What a mistake! Look how good the young lady is to Xiaotao. Why doesn’t he have such a good master?

Ade rolled away and went to Wen Yuqing's side, and then happily got a little pig lantern. He proudly waved the lantern in his hand towards his young master, hehehe, it was given by the young lady, so he also has one~

Wen Huai's face instantly turned as dark as the bottom of a pot. He strode over. At this time, Wen Yuqing was still struggling to decide which lantern to choose.

"Qing'er, which one do you like?" Never mind, she is his sister after all, so he won't bother with her, he secretly comforted himself.

"Wen Huai, do you like this?" Wen Yuqing asked him, holding a lantern in the shape of a rooster.

"I like it!" Was it given to him? He liked everything his sister gave him, even if she implied that he was stingy, he still liked it.

"Then I'll give you this." Wen Yuqing covered her mouth and laughed, hahahaha, stingy Wen Huai.

"Okay, Qing'er, whichever one you like, I'll give it to you." Wen Huai said with a smile.

"I want the one with the kitten." Wen Yuqing said, pointing at the kitten lantern.

"Boss, we want all these lanterns." One for each person.

"Okay~"

The four-member group of brother, sister, maid and book boy, each holding a lantern, walked on the brightly lit street and attracted people's attention. Many servants who accompanied their young ladies and masters looked at Xiaotao and Ade with envy. Their master was so good.

"Miss, I love you so much." Xiaotao said happily. This was the first time she had her own lantern.

"Don't be too touched, little girl~" Wen Yuqing said with a naughty smile.

Xiaotao chuckled.

The four of them walked around for a while, and the flow of people on the street became larger and larger. It was almost time for the fireworks, and everyone was rushing to the bridge, which was the best place to watch the fireworks.

Qiqiao Festival, also known as Qixi Festival, is a time when Xiao Juncheng might be enjoying the flowers in the imperial garden, or choosing a concubine...

Although I know that he is not a person who gets emotional easily, in this feudal dynasty, marriages are arranged by parents and matchmakers, not to mention that he is the prince, so he certainly cannot make his own decisions about his marriage.

Thinking of this, she suddenly realized a problem. In ancient times, men had three wives and four concubines...

Her face turned pale instantly. The thought of sharing a man with someone else made her nauseous. She slowly fell back a few steps...

The lantern in my hand slipped from my fingertips, disgusting!

No, she couldn't let this happen!

She secretly made up her mind that she could not just sit there and wait for death, otherwise all that would be left for her would be an unclean man.

When she came to her senses, she found that Wen Huai and Xiao Tao were no longer around her. Oh no, but they were going to the bridge to watch the fireworks and set off river lanterns, so she could just go there to meet them.

After figuring it out, she continued to follow the crowd towards the fireworks display. There were even more people, and it was crowded. Suddenly, someone bumped into her, causing her to stumble and nearly fall. She managed to catch herself, and then she saw a familiar mask...

Xiao Juncheng...

Why is he here? But she didn't have time to think about it and immediately chased after him.

As she chased him, she asked the system in her mind, [063, Why is Xiao Juncheng here? Shouldn't he be at the banquet the Queen is holding for him to choose a concubine?]

[I don't know. The system can only detect the location of the mission target, but cannot know all of his actions~]

In short, I am not a worm in his stomach, how would I know? I am not his system!

Wen Yuqing asked an idiotic question, sighed helplessly, and continued to chase Xiao Juncheng's figure, but she overestimated her physical strength. She was squeezed by people and passed through layers of people. When she took a breath, she could no longer see Xiao Juncheng.

"Hu~" She bent down and gasped for breath. She lost him. She finally had a chance to meet him but still lost him. She wanted to punch herself twice.

I turned back helplessly, but as soon as I turned around, I bumped into a hard chest...

"Hmm..." The tip of my nose suddenly felt sore, and my eyes were filled with mist.

"Follow me."

Wen Yuqing paused while touching her nose, then looked up in disbelief, and what caught her eyes was the familiar mask.

Xiao Juncheng frowned and looked down at the person in front of him who bumped into him and made him cry. Was he trying to scam me again?

"I wasn't following you. I just saw you by chance and wanted to see if you were..." she said in a muffled voice.

He had been chasing the spy from Liang State, but the man fled to the bustling streets as soon as he left the palace. During the chase, he found that he was also being followed. He took a closer look and it turned out to be her, the concubine of the Wen family.

In order to prevent any accidents from happening, he had to give up chasing the Liang State spies and solve the current trouble first.

"You came out by yourself?" He chased here by himself. He was not afraid of getting into trouble.

"Well..." She was alone now, that was right.

"Go back." He said in a deep voice.

Wen Yuqing: “….”

Can't go back at all!

"I've lost my maid. Can you help me look for her..." she said pitifully.

"No..." I couldn't. Before I could finish my refusal, the person in front of me lowered his eyes in disappointment. He...

If he didn't know what she usually looked like, he would have almost believed it. This person was obviously teasing her father to tease her eldest brother all day long, and even made Old Lady Wen run around in circles, but in front of him she pretended to be delicate and pitiful.

So she must know her identity, otherwise she would like the prince while showing him a girlish and naive look. Haha, Miss Wen is really good at tricks.
