The legitimate daughter was reborn, and the emperor’s little Jiaojiao went crazy.

Chapter 851 How can there be good things in the world without reason?

In the outer courtyard, Qiu Hongyan was sitting on the stairs pulling flower petals for fun.

One petal, two petals, three petals, how boring. All the nourishing diets for pregnant women that she had carefully developed were stopped, and she felt very disappointed.

She had always wanted to do something to repay Sister Xia'er for taking her in, pampering her, and indulging her.

Sister Xiaer agreed to whatever she wanted to do.

But Sister Xia'er has everything she needs, and she has no idea how to repay the favor.

Qiu Hongyan felt that she was very lucky to have met such a fairy sister.

But she only realized after living here that Sister Xia'er was actually a very strict person and was not so kind to everyone. It could even be said that Sister Xia'er's methods were very sharp.

In the first few years, she met Shi Wanzhen's two children outside. Although the two siblings were young, they were very vicious and looked down on her.

He also told her, "Stupid pig, what do you think Shi Anxia is good for? She is raising you just because she can't have children in the future, so she can use you as a cheap belly to have children. Just wait and see, you will not end up well in the future."

Qiu Hongyan felt that such words could not possibly be the child's own thoughts, they must have been taught by adults.

But there was one thing she herself couldn't figure out. She had no relationship with Sister Xia'er, and she was just a concubine of lowly status, so why was Sister Xia'er so kind to her?

In this world, how can there be good things without reason?

She asked her brother Qiu Zhiyan.

Qiu Zhiyan laughed at her, "Maybe you are cute?"

He answered her sincerely, "Cousin Xia'er is not comparable to other women in the harem. She is more magnanimous than men. Mother once had such evil thoughts, but she still had no grudge against me, her cousin, and allowed me to study in the academy."

Qiu Zhiyan summed up Shi Anxia as a person: "She has a pure heart and does not treat others with worldly views. But she can distinguish between good and evil, and never shows mercy to truly evil people and evil deeds. Some people are born with light, illuminating others without asking for anything in return. Cousin Xia'er should be such a person."

No matter what, Qiu Hongyan always wanted to do something for Shi Anxia. This time she thought she had a chance, but before she could really show her skills, it was over again.

Ugh……

Bei Hui was passing by with medicine in her hand and saw Qiu Hongyan, so she gave the medicine to Nan Yan and asked her to take it in and serve it to the lady.

Bei Hui also sat on the stairs and said softly, "Miss Hongyan, why don't you go home first? We are here to take care of the lady, you can rest assured."

Qiu Hongyan shook her head stubbornly, "No, I want to stay with Sister Xia'er."

Bei Hui teased her, "Your status is different now, and people who want to marry you are lining up."

Qiu Hongyan suddenly became anxious, "What's the difference? Hongyan will always be Sister Xia'er's little Hongyan."

In fact, her identity is indeed different.

Because this year the imperial examination, which is held every three years, is here again.

As expected, Shi Yunqi won the first place. He was the first place selected by the Crown Prince. He did not participate in the battle test, nor did he retake the joint test. He directly participated in the palace test as the previous champion.

In addition, Qiu Zhiyan won the first place in the Dou Test and Jinluan Test. In the Palace Test, he ranked after Shi Yunqi and was the runner-up of this year.

After digging deeper, it turns out that these two are cousins ​​and both graduated from Yunqi Academy.

The Jian'an Marquis's Mansion won the game, and the Shi family was in high spirits all day. The Qiu family also held their heads high because of Qiu Zhiyan.

Qiu Zhiyan's father, Qiu Hongyuan, no longer doubted whether he was his biological son, and he would say "My son is the second place" every day.

Not only that, the value of the concubine's sister Qiu Hongyan also rose in the capital. The second place in the imperial examination, even if she was born out of wedlock, also attracted many families to visit her.

By marrying the sister of the runner-up, the family will have an extra support in the court.

Their father was planning to interfere in Qiu Hongyan's marriage and wanted to marry into the family of Lord Lu, the Minister of Taichang Temple.

It wasn’t Lord Lu himself, but Lord Lu’s younger brother.

The matchmaker said that Lord Lu's younger brother was handsome and well-versed in the books of sages. If Qiu Hongyan married him, she would be able to become his principal wife. This would be a very good marriage.

Qiu Hongyuan told this to Qiu Zhiyan, trying to get a response. He was now in awe of his son and spoke carefully.

Unexpectedly, Qiu Hongyan heard it and asked sincerely, "Father, didn't you sell me to the princess for three thousand taels of silver?"

The implication is, who has the right to make the decision?

Qiu Hongyuan was shameless. "We are all relatives. What's the point of selling or not? How can such a joke count?"

Qiu Zhiyan had no expression on his face, and only said, "If it's signed and sealed, then it's no joke. Father is ready to face the lawsuit, so just go ahead and make the arrangements. I don't care about this matter."

Qiu Hongyuan was extremely angry, but he had no idea what to do.

After all, he couldn't afford to offend Princess Haiyan now, let alone his own son, who was the runner-up in the imperial examination and brought honor to the family.

The old man of the Qiu family has spoken, and the next head of the family will be handed over directly to his grandson Qiu Zhiyan, and everyone will have to rely on him for their livelihood from now on.

However, the news that the Lu family came to propose marriage eventually reached the ears of the Huaiyang Earl's Mansion and Huo Shiwu, which made them very anxious.

The wife of the Marquis of Huaiyang once again brought a matchmaker to propose marriage for Huo Shiwu. This time, Qiu Zhiyan gave a definite answer, saying that his sister would wait until the end of this year's martial arts examination before discussing marriage.

Huo Siwu understood what Qiu Zhiyan meant. If he passed the martial arts examination, he could marry Qiu Hongyan, but if he failed, he would miss the chance to marry her.

In the past, he would have definitely complained. But this time, he ran to Shi Anxia and said, "Help me keep my wife safe and let her wait for me to pass the imperial examination."

Shi Anxia agreed with a smile.

Huo Shiwu has made his mind clear and is working hard to prepare for the military examination. In addition, the Huaiyang Marquis's Mansion does not care about Qiu Hongyan's illegitimate status. Shi Anxia is happy to see all of this.

She knew that the Huaiyang Marquis' Mansion simply wanted to make up for what they had owed to her son over the years, so she was willing to fulfill her son's wishes in everything.

If Qiu Hongyan marries him, her life will definitely not be bad.

Bei Hui knew the whole story clearly, so she used it to make Qiu Hongyan happy.

But Qiu Hongyan's mind was not on these little things, she just wanted to do something for her sister Xia'er.

Like her, there was another person who also stayed in the Young Master's Mansion and refused to leave. That was the Little Princess of Mu Su, Hong Que.

Ever since she found out that An Xia was pregnant, she moved into the Young Master's Mansion and never returned to the Vina tribe's embassy in Beijing.

Emperor Mingde was very generous to the Vina tribe. He allocated a house to serve as the tribe's embassy and named the two girls "Princess of Peace", allowing them to live in the northern capital as princesses.

Return a favor. King Wazhen of the Vina tribe led his people, as well as the friendly forces of several neighboring tribes, and all expressed their willingness to follow Emperor Mingde to the battlefield and contribute to the North Wing.

Firstly, they had a grudge against the State of Wan, and secondly, in order to show their loyalty, they clearly stood on the side of the Northern Wing.

Originally this was unwise. Once a war broke out, the tribe would do their best to hide as far away as possible, for fear of being affected.

But the Vina tribe insisted on following the war, so how could the others fall behind? Once they fell behind, the treatment they received in the North Wing would be different.

However, Emperor Mingde rejected the tribe's good intention of sending troops to join the war.
