"Okay, I accept your apology, but I owe you an apology. I'm sorry, and I will definitely repay you twice as much in the future."
Chu Jiaoli's eyes lit up, as if all the unpleasantness in the past had disappeared. She showed a faint smile and said: "I... forgive you."
"Thank you..." Beigong Tengxiao smiled softly and kissed her again.
Chu Jiaoli slowly closed her eyes, raised her arms and hugged his neck.
Everything that happened in the small pavilion was witnessed by the disciples who were passing by. They stopped one after another and were shocked.
"Oh my God! Your Highness is actually with Jiao Li..."
"You really envy others. If you have the right to envy mandarin ducks but not immortals, that's all!"
Beigong Tengxiao looked at her with slightly red cheeks, gently raised the corners of his lips, and said: "Although I accept your apology, I have not forgiven you yet."
Hearing this, Chu Jiaoli was startled and looked at him in panic, saying: "Then..."
Beigong Tengxiao raised his hand and smoothed her bangs, saying: "Call me brother Tengxiao, I will consider it."
Hearing this, Chu Jiaoli lowered her head, grabbed the skirt on her knees, and whispered: "Brother Tengxiao."
Beigong Tengxiao raised his eyebrows slightly and said, "I can't hear you."
Chu Jiaoli paused slightly, frowned slightly, and raised her voice slightly: "Teng, brother Tengxiao..."
Beigong Tengxiao's eyes flashed with a hint of joking, and he said: "It's too quiet."
"Brother Tengxiao!" Chu Jiaoli closed her eyes tightly and said loudly.
Beigong Tengxiao raised his hand to lift her chin, his eyebrows arched, and he said hoarsely: "Scream more."
"Your Highness, you are making things too difficult for me..." Chu Jiaoli looked away embarrassedly, feeling the eyes of a group of people around her staring at her. Her cheeks suddenly turned as red as fire, her lips and teeth trembled slightly, and she whispered, "At least...
...when no one is around..."
"Okay." Beigong Tengxiao leaned towards her ear and said hoarsely, "If you can satisfy me tonight, I will forgive you."
"You..." Chu Jiaoli frowned and looked at him with a hint of resentment. She knew clearly that he had been teasing her from the beginning, but she still fell into his trap involuntarily.
But... she suddenly felt like she was talking, and the stone hanging in her heart was finally let go, and she felt more relaxed than ever before.
She looked at him with a soft smile and said: "From now on, I no longer want to hide anything from His Highness."
Hearing this, Beigong Tengxiao held her hand and stroked his cheek, saying: "Okay, then we will be honest with each other from now on."
Chu Jiaoli smiled slightly and nodded, saying: "Yes."
A few days later, Chu Jiaoxing and others returned safely as expected.
Everything is back on track, and everyone is relieved.
At dusk, Chu Jiaoli and Chu Jiaotang returned to the princess's mansion after leaving the hall. Not long after Chu Jiaoxing and others also walked out of the palace.
He has been missing for so many days, and it is a major matter related to the Dongling Kingdom. Naturally, it needs to be investigated carefully.
In the princess's mansion, Chu Jiaoxing was sharing this legendary experience with Chu Jiaotang.
"The Crown Prince of Dongling Kingdom is really hateful! If I were to meet him, I would have to go up and slap him twice!" Chu Jiaotang said angrily.
Chu Jiaoxing chuckled and said, "It's just your triangular cat skills. Let me know when you can beat me."
Chu Jiaotang pouted and said: "I'm not angry..."
Chu Jiaoxing smiled and said: "But, he did get slapped twice."
When Chu Jiaotang heard this, her eyes suddenly lit up and she said, "Did the eldest sister hit you?"
"I'm not that capable. It was Donggong Cangqiong who teased Princess Tianque of Nanyue Kingdom. Prince Tianyu looked at her and slapped him twice on the face. Those slaps
I guess I still have the seal."
"Hahahaha..." Hearing this, Chu Jiaotang laughed a few times and said, "Yeah! What a relief!"
Hearing Nangong Tianyu's name, Chu Jiaoli was slightly stunned and said: "Prince Tianyu? Why is he here?"
"It was Nanyue Kingdom who sent Prince Tianyu and Princess Tianque to Beiming Kingdom to talk to the emperor about important matters against Dongling Kingdom." Chu Jiaoxing explained.
A trace of doubt flashed in Chu Jiaoli's eyes. In her memory, Nangong Tianque did come to Beiming at this time, but Nangong Tianyu would come, so why didn't she remember it?
Just as he was thinking about it, Zi Lin walked in from the outside and said: "Princess, Prince Tianyu wants to see you at the door of the princess's mansion."
Hearing this, Chu Jiaoli was stunned. Just as she was talking about him, he came.
Without thinking much, she nodded, stood up, turned towards Zi Lin and said, "Zilin, take him to the courtyard to sit down."
"Yes."
Seeing Zi Lin about to step out of the threshold, Chu Jiaoli stopped her again: "Wait a minute."
Zi Lin turned his head and raised his eyebrows and asked: "What's wrong with the princess?"
"Send someone to tell His Highness that Prince Tianyu is coming to see me."
"Yes."
After finishing her words, Chu Jiaoli sighed softly and walked out.
After a while, she walked to the courtyard step by step.
Looking up, he saw Nangong Tianyu in a red robe.
He stood with his hands behind his back and his back to her, looking at the ginkgo trees outside the courtyard.
This outfit was made by her, and it seems that he likes it very much.
Glancing at the simple wooden hairpin on his head, she was stunned for a moment. Was she overthinking it? As a prince of a country, she had not abandoned such a simple hairpin.
She pursed her lips, saluted him, and said, "Prince Tianyu."
Nangong Tianyu turned around and saw a girl in a floral skirt.
The girl seemed more beautiful than when we first met her. When she was trapped in the forest, she heard from her sister Chu Jiaoxing that not long after he left, she entered the Imperial College to study.
Now, in addition to being as smooth as a businessman in the past, she is more poetic and bookish. She looks very elegant, dignified and elegant.
He looked at her earlobes, which were as empty as before. She did not wear the glass earrings he gave her.
Seeing this, a trace of disappointment flashed in his eyes, but he quickly covered it up and showed a faint smile, saying: "Princess Anhe, I haven't seen you for a long time, how are you doing lately?"
Chu Jiaoli showed a polite smile and said: "Prince Tianyu, Anhe Shangjia, I didn't know that you are here, and Anhe's house has not prepared anything. I am really sorry."
As soon as she finished speaking, she invited him to take a seat, and the maid next to her came forward to make tea.
"This prince is too abrupt. I rushed to the Beiming Emperor's capital in a hurry. After meeting the Beiming Emperor, I came to look for you."
Chu Jiaoli was stunned. If Nangong Tianyu's words were heard by Beigong Tengxiao, the princess's mansion behind them would become their battlefield.
After thinking about it, her smile was a little forced and she said: "Your Highness, there is no need to be in such a hurry."
Prince's Mansion.
Jing Ling walked in from outside the door and said: "Your Highness, the people from Anheju are here to report that Prince Tianyu has gone to Anheju to find the princess."
Beigong Tengxiao, who was drinking tea, paused slightly. He slowly narrowed his eyes, then took an elegant sip of tea, slowly placed the tea cup on the table, and said: "I know."
