Both father and daughter understood each other that although she performed well and was deeply loved by Bei Gong Lie, Bei Gong Tengxiao never looked at her.
Xiang Qanting narrowed his eyes slightly and said in a low voice: "Tell me, why is His Highness so cold to you?"
Xiang Yini lowered her head and said, "My daughter doesn't know."
"Hmph." Xiang Qanting snorted contemptuously and said, "Do you know what His Highness said when you were dancing?"
Xiang Yini was stunned for a moment, pursed her lips slightly, and said, "Daughter... I don't know."
"You made His Highness take a nap out of boredom, and His Highness asked the little maid behind him if she knew how to dance. Do you know what this means?"
Xiang Yini slowly swallowed her saliva and did not dare to speak anymore.
"This means that my daughter is just like those four minions, they are all clowns!" Xiang Qanting slapped the table hard. Xiang Yini was not frightened, but it made Xiang Yinli tremble.
She quickly walked to Xiang Yini's side, lowered her head and said to Xiang Qianting: "Father, please calm down. This cannot be entirely blamed on my sister. Before my sister entered the palace for the banquet, it was a short-sighted folk girl who tripped up your highness. , my sister never met His Highness outside the palace..."
"Are you saying that your sister's charm is far less than that of a girl, nor that of a random woman in the market?"
Seeing that the situation was getting worse, Xiang Yinli immediately shut his mouth.
Xiang Qanting's angry voice became deeper and deeper. He stared at Xiang's beautiful face and said, "I have worked so hard to train you, but you are not as good as those despicable and vulgar people?"
Xiang Yini pursed her lips, lowered her head and said, "That civilian girl is the same person as the maid beside His Highness at the banquet."
Hearing this, Xiang Yinli's face was full of surprise. In an instant, that poor thing became Beigong Tengxiao's maidservant and attended with him. Her method was really amazing... Looking at her frail appearance, she looked down upon her.
Xiang Qanting tightened his thick eyebrows, was silent for a while, and said: "Kneel down."
"Yes." Xiang Yini had long expected that Xiang Qanting would punish her, so she did not protest reluctantly. She bowed her head in response and knelt down.
Xiang Qanting stood up, snorted heavily, walked out with his hands behind his back, slightly tilted his head toward the inside of the room, and said: "Bi'er, come here."
Xiang Yinli bit his lip, glanced at the expressionless Xiang Yini, and walked out quickly.
Stepping out of the door, Xiang Qanting stood with his hands behind his hands and said in a low voice: "Who is that cheap maid? Do you know her origins?"
Xiang Yinli frowned lightly and said, "My daughter has already found out clearly that she is the third young lady of the Chu family, the emperor's merchant in Dongshi, Chu Jiaoli."
Xiang Qanting narrowed his eyes slightly and said, "Is it the imperial businessman who killed Zhang Cairen?"
Hearing this, Xiang Yinli frowned and nodded, saying: "It's the Chu family, but..."
Xiang Qanting frowned and looked at her and said, "But what?"
Xiang Yinli did not dare to look directly into Xiang Qanting's eyes, and immediately lowered his head and said: "But His Highness the Crown Prince bought her for a high price of one thousand taels today and severed ties with the Chu Mansion. Even if he arrested someone from the Chu Mansion, There is no threat to her."
Xiang Qanting snorted coldly and said, "You little ant, do you still need to threaten me?"
Xiang Yinli immediately understood and said, "Father is right!" She quietly turned back and glanced at Xiang Yini who was kneeling in the hall, and said, "That sister..."
"It's embarrassing for me. If you want to beg for mercy, just kneel with her." Xiang Qanting waved his sleeves indifferently and left.
Xiang Yinli immediately shook his head and walked to the boudoir with his head lowered dejectedly.
Muyang Palace.
The night fell deep and everything was quiet.
Chu Jiaoli looked out the dark window. There were only a few insects chirping occasionally in the distance, but nothing else.
As she frowned, her eyes became moist.
She would never forget this terrible day on January 16th. The first day she was sold into the Zhao Mansion was a nightmare that had haunted her for a long time.
It turned out that the Prince's Mansion at this time was so quiet and gentle, and she and Beigong Tengxiao had experienced such a leisurely day together.
That's right, compared to her experience, Hua Yuejin's provocation and Sun Wanwan's harsh words were nothing. This day was too leisurely and peaceful.
She slowly raised her head. The full moon was in the sky, and the sky was filled with stars, so gorgeous.
It turns out that the sky tonight is so beautiful.
She chuckled, glad that she was finally truly separated from the Chu and Zhao mansions, walked slowly to the bed, and curled up into the soft quilt.
Looking at the weak lamp on the table, she closed her eyes quietly.
The night slowly fell, the sky turned white, the birds sang melodiously, and as the last dew dropped from the leaves, it was already the next day.
In Beigong Tengxiao's bedroom, Chu Jiaoli was skillfully helping him get dressed.
Bei Gong Tengxiao looked down at her. The girl in front of him was skillfully and fluently dressing.
If other maids were to avoid it due to etiquette, their movements would be gentle and would not touch the skin.
But she was different. At this time, her fingertips slowly slid down along the collar, her bent knuckles really touched his thin underwear, and she wrapped her belt tightly against his body.
It's not like she has no experience. On the contrary, she is too skilled and intimate. Rather than saying that she is a maid serving her master, she is more like the mistress of the house.
Seeing her unscrupulous behavior, Zi Lin and the other maids in the house were also dumbfounded.
Isn't Your Highness still angry that this is it?
Chu Jiaoli had long been accustomed to dressing him in the morning. She had always been like this from the first time she dressed him. She didn't know what was wrong with her, nor did she know that the people around her had slowed down.
She raised her hand to adjust the collar around his neck, and lightly stroked his neck with her cold fingertips.
Beigong Tengxiao felt a numbness, looking at the focused girl in front of him, she really looked like his wife and concubine.
He raised the corners of his lips slightly and couldn't help but tentatively said: "I'll go to bed tonight."
"Okay." Chu Jiaoli responded as usual, and a gentle smile even appeared on her lips.
It was surprisingly quiet everywhere, and everyone was surprised.
After realizing what she was doing, Chu Jiaoli's face turned red immediately. She turned her back to him in utter embarrassment, clenched her fists tightly, and managed to say: "What a sanctimonious His Highness."
Hearing this, Beigong Tengxiao chuckled a few times, and the maid beside him also smiled a little.
Chu Jiaoli felt that she was extremely embarrassed. She bit her lip, frowned and said, "Your Highness, please stop making fun of slaves. This is not funny."
Beigong Tengxiao raised his eyebrows lightly and said, "Who said I was joking?"
Hearing this, all the maids immediately stopped laughing and looked extremely surprised.
Chu Jiaoli turned her head to look at him in disbelief: "What did you say?"
Beigong Tengxiao looked into her dumbfounded eyes, raised his hand and lifted her chin and said: "You don't have to do anything during the day, you can go and catch up on some sleep."
