"Dad puts all his hopes on me. At the critical moment, I can only protect myself. When necessary, it is reasonable to make some sacrifices."
Huan Pei bit her lip and said, "The princess is right."
It wasn't until school ended in the evening that Beigong Tengxiao left the Imperial College with Chu Jiaoli. Some people even saw her getting directly into Beigong Tengxiao's carriage and going to the Prince's Mansion. She didn't return to the Princess' Mansion until Xu.
.
From the beginning of that day, no one dared to offend her. Xiang Yinli, who had disliked her in the past, and Beigong Qianling, who was targeting her, now only took a detour with her.
Have a holiday and live in peace.
A new garden warbler was recently raised in the backyard. Accompanied by the warmth of the morning sun and the bird's melodious cries, Chu Jiaoli sat on the spacious fence and leaned against the red painted pillar behind her to embroider flowers.
The cyan gradient skirt hangs down naturally, and the beauty's eyes without makeup reveal ease.
Zi Lin panted and ran over, and said happily: "Princess, my servant just saw that His Highness came to the Princess's mansion, and he has not yet reached the door."
Hearing this, Chu Jiaoli's eyes flashed, and she immediately put the embroidery studio aside, took out a small bronze mirror and a box of lipstick from her sleeves, opened the lipstick, and quickly applied it on her lips with her fingertips.
Smooth it out a little.
After wiping it on, he turned over and got off the railing. He couldn't suppress the excitement on his face, couldn't help but raise the corners of his lips, picked up the hem of his skirt and ran towards the door.
When she was about to reach the front yard, she slowly slowed down her steps, exhaled softly, and raised her chin slightly, pretending to be nonchalant.
"Princess, Your Highness is waiting for you at the door." Jing Lan said to her as she passed by.
"Yes." Chu Jiaoli's voice was calm, with a cold attitude and a slow pace.
Seeing that the black python robe had stepped into the front yard, he sighed softly, pretending to be annoyed, and said: "Jiao Li's rare holiday, your highness wants to take it again?"
Beigong Tengxiao gently raised the corners of his lips, raised his hand and twisted a strand of her smooth hair around his fingertips a few times. With a faint smile in his eyes, he said: "The test a few days ago
If you take first place, I will give you a reward."
Hearing this, Chu Jiao Li raised her eyebrows slightly and said: "What?"
As soon as the words fell, Beigong Tengxiao took her hand and walked out the door.
After a while, the carriage stopped on a vast grassland. Chu Jiaoli got out of the carriage, suddenly stunned and said: "What are you doing here, Your Highness?"
Jingyue brought over a snow-white pony, whose hair and tail fluttering in the wind were as dreamy as the white clouds on the horizon.
The horse is not tall and is suitable for girls to ride.
Beigong Tengxiao gently raised the corners of his lips and said: "This horse is called Piao Piao. It has a gentle and quiet personality. It suits you very well. I will give it to you."
Chu Jiaoli raised her eyes and looked at the white horse, raised her hand to stroke the delicate saddle on its back, her eyes were slightly lonely, she sighed softly and said: "Your Highness may have forgotten that Jiaoli can't ride a horse."
"Five days from now, the female disciples will also have martial arts classes, and will they be able to ride horses and perform martial arts, right?"
Hearing this, Chu Jiaoli lowered her head slightly and responded softly: "Yes."
Mixed classes have both advantages and disadvantages. In the past, female disciples never had to go to the school grounds to learn things like horse riding. Now that they see male disciples going to the school grounds to ride horses, some bold female disciples have also raised the issue of injustice.
After the wine ceremony, it was decided that after five days, the courses would be the same for all disciples, regardless of gender.
Those rich ladies have learned jiju since they were young, and riding horses is not difficult. She is among the best in grades and is a noble princess. If she makes a fool of herself on the school field, she will definitely suffer a lot of ridicule.
She pursed her lips, frowned slightly, and said with a hint of complaint: "Jiao Li couldn't find a horse riding master to learn how to ride a horse. Your Highness must be blamed for this."
Beigong Tengxiao leaned over her ear and said in a hoarse voice: "I won't let the horse riding master teach you because I want to teach you myself."
Chu Jiaoli felt a warm breath beside her ears and her cheeks turned slightly red. She lowered her eyes and said, "Jiaoli thinks that His Highness doesn't like Jiaoli riding a horse."
Beigong Tengxiao gently raised the corners of his lips and said: "I admit that I intend to prevent you from contacting men, but I will never prevent you from getting better."
Hearing this, a trace of surprised joy flashed in Chu Jiaoli's eyes. She bit her lip lightly and said, "So, does His Highness want to be Jiaoli's horse riding master?"
Beigong Tengxiao raised his eyebrows and said, "Do you think my riding skills are not good?"
"His Royal Highness's riding skills are naturally second to none." Chu Jiaoli swallowed her saliva and said, "Then... the reward..."
"Of course there will be a reward." Beigong Tengxiao twirled a strand of her hair and sniffed it, saying, "In half a month, you and I will perform the bow ceremony together."
"Biju?" Chu Jiaoli turned her head in surprise. What came to her mind was the unpleasantness of that day at the jui field. She slightly frowned and said, "Why are you looking for me? I don't know anything about horseback riding.
I definitely won’t be able to have all the fun with His Highness. Princess Pinsheng... is a hundred times more suitable than Jiao Li. You should go find her..."
Seeing through the slightly jealous thoughts, Beigong Tengxiao's eyes flashed with a hint of joking, and said: "How can a ready-made master have a greater sense of accomplishment than a young apprentice taught by himself?"
Chu Jiaoli pursed her lips, feeling a little excited in her heart. She turned around, raised her hand to stroke her fluttering mane, quietly raised the corners of her lips, and pretended to be careless: "I'm also looking for it right now.
If you don't know the master, His Highness is also responsible for this matter. Naturally, I don't want to be laughed at in the Imperial College. In this case, Jiao Li has no choice."
"I will definitely teach you and teach you."
The next day, Imperial College.
At the beginning of each month, the Imperial College will post the performance rankings of each class at the entrance of the square in front of the classroom, and the top three students in each class will be posted at the entrance of the Imperial College for passers-by to observe.
Today is the beginning of September, and it has been a month since Chu Jiaoli came to the Imperial College.
"Jiao Li, you are number two on the list this month." Liu Rushuang next to Chu Jiao Li said with a smile.
Chu Jiaoli looked at the names one by one and narrowed her peach blossom eyes slightly.
The one who occupies the top spot is Li Qinghui, who once topped the men's class.
She pursed her lips, that Li Qinghui was indeed very powerful.
Xiang Yinli ranks third on the list after Chu Jiaoli. She who used to be at the top must be furious now, right?
Looking further down, she was a little surprised by the person at the bottom of the list - Beigong Qianling.
Even the young prince of Jin, Beigong Lingshao, ranked in the bottom four.
She raised her eyebrows slightly and said: "I heard that Beigong Qianling's textbook notes are clear. He must have worked hard after class. How could he be at the bottom of the list?"
Liu Rushuang was also puzzled and said: "It's strange to say that Beigong Qianling obviously has very good qualifications and is not the same as Beigong Lingshao, but he always looks cynical.
I am fast asleep, and I am so stunned that I don’t even write a word, but I am at the bottom of the list..."
