Beigong Tengxiao, who was drinking tea, paused slightly. He slowly narrowed his eyes, then took a sip of tea gracefully, put the teacup slowly on the table, and said: "I know."
Behind him, Jing Yue frowned with concern and said, "Your Highness, do you want to go to the Princess's Mansion?"
Beigong Tengxiao showed a faint smile and said: "No need."
Hearing this, Jing Yue's eyes were a little surprised and she said: "Your Highness is not afraid of them..."
"Since Li'er will report with me, I naturally don't want me to misunderstand anything..." Beigong Tengxiao gently raised the corners of his lips and said, "I believe in Li'er."
"But...Prince Tianyu can't be trusted, right?" Jingyue whispered.
Beigong Tengxiao stood up, snorted softly, and said: "If Nangong Tianyu dares to do anything outrageous, Jinglan will naturally stop him."
Jingyue nodded knowingly, raised her eyebrows slightly when she saw Beigong Tengxiao leaving, and immediately followed him, saying: "Where are you going, Your Highness?"
Beigong Tengxiao said with a smile in his eyes: "Enter the palace."
Anheju.
"Princess Anhe, in fact, my father only sent his sister Tianque to discuss the alliance with Emperor Beiming. The reason why I followed my sister here is just to see you." Nangong Tianyu said seriously.
Chu Jiaoli showed a faint smile and said: "If so, it is really an honor for An He. However, An He is just a powerless businessman and is not worth the trouble His Royal Highness has spent."
Nangong Tianyu looked into her eyes and said with a smile: "If I think it's worth it, then it's worth it."
Chu Jiaoli's hand holding the tea cup tightened slightly, and she slowly lowered her head, with a polite smile on her face and did not answer.
Nangong Tianyu raised his eyebrows slightly and said, "Anhe, may I take the liberty to ask you something?"
Chu Jiaoli seemed to know the purpose of his visit this time. She nodded slightly and said, "Ask."
Nangong Tianyu asked carefully: "Do you have love for Prince Beiming?"
Chu Jiaoli was slightly startled, as if she had not expected that he would mention Beigong Tengxiao. She pursed her lips, thought deeply, and then opened her lips and said: "I'm sorry, Your Highness, this is An He's private matter.
I don’t want to talk about it.”
Nangong Tianyu smiled awkwardly and said: "It doesn't matter, I was the one who was abrupt."
The atmosphere was deadlocked for a while, and he breathed out softly and said: "Princess Anhe, Nanyue and Beiming are far apart. It is not easy for my prince to come to Beiming. So, if you have some ideas, it is better to say them straight to the point.
, I hope you won’t mind.”
Chu Jiaoli shook her head and said: "Your Highness, it's okay to say so."
Nangong Tianyu smiled lightly and said with sincere eyes: "The first time I saw Princess Anhe, I was delighted with your graceful dancing. After we met several times, you left an indelible mark in my heart.
After a few months apart, I still miss you every day, but I don’t know what An He thinks of me."
Chu Jiaoli bit her lip lightly and said: "His Royal Highness is an excellent person. He is courteous and courteous to others. An He appreciates it very much. However, even if his identity is put aside, An He only treats you as an ordinary friend. He also hopes that
, we will only be friends from now on."
After saying that, Nangong Tianyu was silent for a long time, frowned slightly, and said: "Do we really...have no possibility?"
Chu Jiaoli shook her head.
Seeing this, a look of loneliness flashed across Nangong Tianyu's eyes. He sighed softly, and then said with a wry smile: "It's okay if Princess Anhe refuses. I appreciate your decisiveness."
Chu Jiaoli smiled faintly and said: "I'm sorry to bother you, Your Highness, to come to Beiming. I hope An He didn't make you too disappointed."
Nangong Tianyu's eyes were gentle. Although he was a little sad, he was satisfied to see her in Beiming this time.
Even if he knew what experience she had with Beigong Tengxiao, he could still accept it.
Her behavior was so dignified and elegant, without any sign of cowardice. She would reject him not because she was afraid of being disgusted by that experience, but simply because...she really had no feelings for him...
He exhaled softly and said: "Although I'm not sure if you really belong to me, if you regard me as a friend, I hope that what I just said will not affect the friendship between you and me." p>
Chu Jiaoli smiled and said: "Of course not."
Imperial Palace, Qingxin Hall.
Warm incense is burning in the hall, and the situation on the chessboard is tense. The black and white chess pieces are in the shape of two dragons, making it difficult to tell the difference.
Beigong Tengxiao's slender fingers picked up a warm black jade chess piece, slowly dropped it, and said: "Father, I want to marry Jiao Li as the crown prince."
Bei Gonglie paused slightly, frowned, and said in a low voice: "No."
Beigong Tengxiao gently raised the corners of his lips and said: "My son is not discussing with my father. I am just informing my father of my decision. Jiao Li, my son will definitely marry me."
Bei Gonglie narrowed his eyes slightly, with a hint of displeasure in his eyes, and said, "Are you too brave?"
Beigong Tengxiao smiled slightly and said: "In the past, my father made her the princess, and her status was higher than that of the daughters of the courtiers. Today, the results list of the Imperial College has been released, and Jiao Li's results are ranked first in Class A.
She is also the first among the girls in the four classes. My son originally arranged for her to enter the Imperial College, and now she is well-known. In terms of status, appearance, talent, learning, and virtue, she is well-deserved for the position of Crown Princess."
Bei Gonglie was speechless by these words. Although he was once fond of Chu Jiaoli, he never thought that this weak woman could achieve such great achievements.
However, Xiang Qianting came to see him yesterday and promised him to discuss Xiang Yini's marriage with Beigong Tengxiao. What should he do...
His brows were still furrowed and he said: "As for the beautiful girl I mentioned to you before, have you considered it? Could it be that you actually want the palm of the Hou Mansion, the most talented woman in the imperial capital, to commit yourself to being a concubine?"<
/p>
Beigong Teng Xiaoyun said calmly: "I never thought that I would not marry anyone except Li'er. Li'er must be my princess and my only wife."
"Not marrying anyone but her? Ridiculous!" Bei Gonglie shouted angrily and said, "Prince, as a royal heir, you must not act on your own initiative. The prince only marries one person? Do you want the neighboring countries to laugh at my son like this?
Shabby?
"Then what is the charm of Chu Jiaoli? Since she appeared, you have become more and more rebellious and rebellious towards me. I gave her to you, but I didn't let her take it away from you!
"No matter how much I liked her, I have already let go of her. Why are you so obsessed with her... She is really a beauty!"
Hearing this, Beigong Tengxiao snorted coldly and said: "Really? The father's love is so cheap, but the woman who once cared about it can be trampled on so badly? My son is not my father.
I am a man of flesh and blood, and she is my son’s woman. I will definitely be responsible to the end and will never be the kind of person who starts chaos and ends up giving up.”
