Chu Jiaoli was sitting on the swing, looking up at the leaves above in a daze, and said: "Linglong, does Beigong Tengxiao not like me sitting on the swing?"
Linglong tilted her head in confusion and said: "This slave didn't see anything wrong, and His Highness didn't stop the queen. Why did the queen ask like this?"
Chu Jiaoli sighed softly and said: "I just feel... the way he looks at me playing on the swing is a little weird..."
"Huh?" Linglong raised her eyebrows slightly and said, "Why is it weird?"
Thinking about this, Chu Jiaoli looked into the distance in a daze, and said: "That look in his eyes, with surprise mixed with a touch of sadness, as if... touched his sad things..." The front of Biluo Palace flashed through his mind.
Looking at the swing in the courtyard, her eyes were a little dark and she said, "Does the former princess also like to swing?"
Linglong smiled lightly and said: "My dear, didn't you say that all girls like swings? Is it normal for others to like swings?"
Chu Jiaoli landed on her feet, stood up, looked back at the swing, and said, "Forget it, let's get out."
Linglong was stunned for a moment and said: "Why...is your Majesty in a bad mood?"
Chu Jiaoli came back to her senses, shook her head and said, "No, I'm just tired of playing."
As soon as she finished speaking, she stepped into the house and sat in front of the desk, waiting for Beigong Tengxiao's arrival.
Linglong sighed helplessly, this woman in love is really moody.
An hour later.
Chu Jiaoli pouted and looked at the table in frustration, why has it been so long today and Beigong Tengxiao is still nowhere to be seen...
Several pages of rice paper on the table were filled with the word "亹". After Chu Jiaoli sighed countless times, she supported her chin with one hand and said, "Is he... not coming?"
Is she too stupid? Or is she too naughty? Is she bored?
Linglong frowned and comforted: "The family rules haven't been finished yet, His Highness will definitely come."
"Hail, Your Highness."
Just as she was talking, she heard the voice of the maid at the door. Chu Jiaoli's dark eyes instantly lit up and she stood up.
Beigong Tengxiao stepped into the threshold, turned around and saw Chu Jiaoli's hot gaze, with a slightly frowning eyebrow with a hint of complaint.
He was a little embarrassed by her staring at him. He was just a few hours late, but her reaction was so big.
He lowered his head, his voice was a little softer than usual, and said: "Just now, my father stayed with me and played a few games of chess."
"Oh..." Chu Jiaoli responded awkwardly, and the stone hanging in her heart fell.
Beigong Tengxiao walked to the table and saw the word "亹" written all over the table, and raised his long eyebrows in confusion.
Chu Jiaoli glanced at the table and was suddenly startled. She grabbed the calligraphy paper, crumpled it into a ball, and gave it to Linglong behind her.
She lowered her head and said awkwardly: "Nothing, just practicing calligraphy."
"Yeah." Beigong Tengxiao responded nonchalantly, walked to her and sat down next to her. Jingyue behind him also took the book he wanted to read.
Chu Jiaoli also sat down, and Linglong began to grind at the side skillfully.
"Did you take off the swing at the door?" Beigong Tengxiao asked with raised eyebrows.
"Ah?" Chu Jiaoli raised her hand and scratched the back of her head, then pursed her lips and said, "Well, I don't want to play anymore."
After saying that, Beigong Tengxiao raised his hand and turned a page of the book and said: "What kind of entertainment do you like recently? I allow you to play in the courtyard."
Hearing this, Chu Jiaoli was stunned for a moment, a hint of flattered surprise flashed across her eyes, and said: "Really?"
Beigong Tengxiao sighed softly and said: "I have been banned for many days. If you don't have any entertainment and it makes you bored, in less than a quarter of an hour, I will be in trouble again."
Chu Jiaoli frowned in dissatisfaction and said, "No way? My performance is pretty good these days, right?"
"Well, keep it up." Beigong Tengxiao said calmly.
Seeing his acquiescence, Chu Jiaoli breathed a sigh of relief, then turned her eyes and said, "Then...can I have a Temari ball?"
"Okay." Beigong Tengxiao responded.
Hearing this, Chu Jiaoli secretly rejoiced. This should be considered the first gift Beigong Tengxiao gave her, right?
"Your monthly salary should be enough, right? You can send the maid to buy one outside."
Before she could feel happy, the corners of Chu Jiaoli's raised lips dropped again in disappointment. Her voice became a little lower and she said in frustration: "Oh..."
Beigong Tengxiao glanced at her dazed look and said indifferently: "Write."
"Hmm."
After writing a few words, Chu Jiaoli secretly raised the corners of her lips and said, "I don't recognize this word."
Beigong Tengxiao explained on the paper with a pen, and Chu Jiaoli said again: "I still don't understand. Can you hold my hand and write it again like yesterday?"
Beigong Tengxiao paused for a moment, raised his eyebrows slightly, and said, "Why is your understanding getting worse and worse?"
"I..." Chu Jiaoli's heart skipped a beat. Looking at the trace of disgust flashing in his eyes, she suddenly became anxious. She bit her lip nervously and said, "I just..." p>
"You have become less and less focused these days." Beigong Tengxiao frowned and said, "The writing speed has also slowed down a lot. There is still a little bit left. I will watch you finish writing today. You are not allowed to sleep until you finish.
."
"You!" Chu Jiaoli's breathing slowed down, and she pouted a little aggrievedly. She thought her relationship with him had improved, but in the end... was it just her own passion?
She bit her lip tightly, snorted in displeasure, and then started writing.
Until the end of Xu Shi, she reluctantly finished writing the last word and slowly closed the house rules.
Beigong Tengxiao checked what she had written, nodded in approval, folded the rice paper neatly, and said: "When you have finished copying, memorize it."
"What?!" Chu Jiaoli said in shock.
Beigong Tengxiao glanced at her and said, "Any objection?"
Chu Jiaoli slowly grasped the hem of her skirt, lowered her head and said, "Then...will you come?"
Beigong Tengxiao raised his hand and rubbed his eyebrows, saying: "Of course it will happen, don't take any chances."
Hearing this, Chu Jiaoli suddenly became motivated. She pursed her lips and said, "Okay then."
Three days later.
Beigong Tengxiao supervised Chu Jiaoli's recitation day and night. In order not to be underestimated by Beigong Tengxiao, she did not dare to be clever. In addition, her memory was not bad, and she now knew the family rules by heart.
Although Xiang Yini's status is not as good as before, she is no longer bound for the time being. In recent days, she always goes out to find Beigong Qianling to be happy and lively, and her life is not rotten.
Now it's time for Chu Jiaoli to lift her confinement. She finished memorizing the family rules as scheduled, and Beigong Tengxiao nodded with satisfaction.
He looked at her bruised forehead. The scar had long since scabbed off. She had been taking care of it carefully in recent days and it had completely recovered without leaving any scars.
