"Xiang Yini is gentle and virtuous and will not bother His Highness. Although Bai Yueying has an average temper, her thoughts are on Prince Qi. Taking her in is just for mutual benefit with Duke Bai. Why wouldn't Your Highness do it?"
Beigong Tengxiao held her hand tightly, with some confusion and discomfort in his eyes, and said: "Li'er, can you really not feel my love for you?"
Chu Jiaoli looked into his deep eyes and said sincerely: "Even if I can feel that I have complete trust in His Highness, even if there are more women in this house, I can't shake my status in His Highness's heart." She raised her arms and put her arms around his waist, rested her head on his warm chest, and said, "Your Highness, you are good to me. I know this, but I also want to be good to you."
Beigong Tengxiao raised his hand to caress the back of her head and said lovingly: "It would be a great injustice to you if I accept the concubine..."
Chu Jiaoli slowly closed her eyes and said: "Your Highness has done enough for my concubine. It's good to be able to secure the position of the Crown Princess, isn't it?"
Beigong Tengxiao closed his eyes and sighed softly, hugging her tightly without saying anything.
Chu Jiaoli felt his helplessness and said in a soft voice: "I'm begging you as my concubine, okay?"
Beigong Tengxiao slowly opened his eyes and said seriously: "I will never betray your trust."
Hearing this, Chu Jiaoli showed a faint smile and responded softly: "Well..."
Two days later, Beigong Tengxiao asked Beigong Lie to marry him to Xiang Yini.
As soon as this statement came out, Beigong Lie readily agreed and was immediately hired to the Xianghou Mansion.
Beigong Tengxiao pursued Xiang Yini in a high-profile manner, and the matter quickly spread throughout the imperial capital.
In Xianghou's house, Xiang Yini looked at the betrothal gifts piled up in the yard, and smiled overjoyed. She said to Xiang Yini who was sitting aside: "Ni'er, dad was wrong before. Daddy didn't expect that His Highness would take the initiative to marry you. I, Xiang
Qian Ting’s daughter is indeed outstanding!”
Xiang Yini showed a faint smile and said, "It's good that Daddy is happy, and Ni'er will work harder."
A quarter of an hour later, Xiang Qanting left with joy.
"Miss, you are really amazing. You can actually let His Highness take the initiative to marry you. You have endured the humiliation and burden these days and finally got your wish and you are going to marry into the prince's palace!" Huan Pei said excitedly.
Xiang Yini raised her index finger to her lips: "Shh, keep your voice down."
Huan Peihou covered her mouth in fear, looked around, then lowered her head and whispered: "Yes."
A moment.
Xi Gongyu stepped into the backyard angrily, looked at Xiang Yini who was sitting in the courtyard drinking tea, and said: "Xiang Yini! You are so shameless!"
A roar startled Huan Pei on the side: "Your Highness, what are you..."
"Get out of the way!" Xi Gongshou yelled at her.
Huan Pei's legs suddenly softened, and he stood aside at a loss.
Xi Gongji grabbed Xiang Yini's collar and said: "Xiang Yini, I regard you as a good sister. You were neglected by Uncle Xiang. I treated you well and gave you makeup, powder and jewelry, but you seduced me behind my back."
Brother Tengxiao, are you worthy of me?!"
Xiang Yini clenched her fists tightly, squeezed out some tears, and said: "Sisi, it's... His Highness suddenly came to me. Before this... before this, I didn't know anything..."<
/p>
Nishinomiya frowned and said: "From your tone, are you being forced? Well, you can reject His Highness now!"
"But...the emperor also knows about this matter. In this case, the emperor's order cannot be violated..."
"It doesn't matter, I will go to Uncle Huang's place and tell him." Xi Gongshou said coldly.
"I..." Xiang Yiyi lowered her head, holding the skirt on her knees tightly with both hands, and said, "I don't want to say..."
"Why?"
Xiang Yini bit her lip and said: "Sisi, actually... I have always admired His Highness and wanted to marry him. Now His Highness wants to accept me, and I... don't want to refuse."
Nishimiya gritted his teeth tightly, pulled her up by her arm, and then slapped her hard.
"Pa!" There was a loud sound, and a burning pain came from Xiang Yini's cheek.
"Xiang Yini! I will never let you go even if I die!" Xi Gongshou shouted angrily at her and ran out crying.
Xiang Yini raised her hand and touched her cheek lightly, then frowned: "Hiss——"
"Miss! Are you okay!" He looked at her red and swollen cheeks and cried.
Xiang Yini frowned slightly, clenched her fists reluctantly, exhaled softly, and said: "This slap will come sooner or later. It is worth it to enter the prince's mansion..."
After Xigong Si came out of Xianghou's Mansion, he returned to the Prince's Mansion to send his own people to pack their luggage.
Half an hour later, she walked to the front yard, looked at the Beigong sky above the arch bridge, and clenched her fists tightly.
"Beigong Tengxiao." It was the first time she called him so vividly.
Beigong Tengxiao looked down at her, his eyes indifferent and cold, and said: "Are you leaving?"
"Yes, as you wish, I'm leaving." A few tears overflowed from Nishinomiya's eyes unconsciously, and she quickly wiped them away with her hands. She swallowed and said, "I went back to Nishinomiya, and I don't want to leave anymore."
When I see you, you will regret it if you don’t marry me!"
As soon as she finished speaking, she walked towards the door without looking back.
"Be careful on the road." Beigong Tengxiao looked at her back and said.
There was not a single word to save me...
He is no longer the boy she knew, with such indifferent eyes and decisive attitude...
She knew that he must be looking for Xiang Yini to get rid of her, but he would rather choose Xiang Yini than keep her...
She was extremely disappointed with this cold man. Since he didn't have her in his heart and even rejected her and hated her, why should she stay shamelessly?
Nishimiya choked up in frustration. Scenes of childhood play appeared in her mind. Her tears burst out uncontrollably and she walked towards the door even faster.
On the same day, Xi Gongxiu set off back to Xiyu, and Beigong Lie was also drafting a marriage decree for Beigong Tengxiao and Xiang Yini.
Chu Jiaoli's predicted words came true. Bai Xiao indeed asked Bei Gonglie to marry Bai Yueying to Bei Gong Tengxiao as a concubine. At Chu Jiaoli's request, Bei Gong Tengxiao could only reluctantly take her in.
.
Compared to Xiang Yini, he is more willing to accept Bai Yueying. After all, Bai Yueying loves Beigong Qianqiu, and everyone in the imperial capital knows it.
However, she and Xiang Yini had another conflict in the Imperial Academy. It would be better if they both went into the backyard and watched them quarrel with each other, rather than letting Xiang Yini bother Chu Jiaoli.
Although the purpose has not been drawn up, the overall situation has been decided.
In the Duke's Mansion, Bai Xiao stepped into the door of Bai Yueying's room and saw Bai Yueying throwing things on the floor and seeking death.
"Yueying, what are you doing?" Bai Xiao frowned and scolded.
"Dad! Yue Ying doesn't want to marry His Highness the Crown Prince. Yue Ying only has Crown Prince Qi in her heart, and she won't marry anyone other than Crown Prince Qi!" Bai Yueying cried, "Can you please ask the Emperor to take back your life? Daddy loves Yue Ying the most on weekdays.
