When Chu Jiaoli thought he was asleep, he responded: "Oh."
Oh?!
What kind of answer is this?!
Chu Jiaoli frowned and said, "Aren't you... going to help me solve the problem?"
Beigong Tengxiao raised the corners of his lips leisurely, and took time to pick a green grape from the fruit plate on the table, put it into his mouth, chewed a few mouthfuls and swallowed it, as if he wanted to watch a good show, and said unhurriedly: "
You stole onto my ship by yourself without any preparation, how can you blame me? You can handle it yourself."
"You!" Chu Jiaoli was angry and said anxiously, "I am also your concubine after all. How can you be so cold!"
"Have you heard of the sharks?" Beigong Tengxiao didn't seem to hear her eagerness, or simply ignored it. After asking, he picked up the teacup and drank tea.
Chu Jiaoli was stunned for a moment, raised her eyebrows slightly, and said, "I've never heard of it."
"It is said that the sharks are half-human and half-fish creatures that live in the vast sea. The tears they shed will turn into precious pearls, which are priceless. However, people who believe in the legend of the sharks have been looking for it for a long time, but they have never found it.
Find the shadow of the shark."
Beigong Tengxiao, who is usually taciturn, somehow seems to be very interested in telling stories today.
Chu Jiaoli wiped the water that had gradually cooled down and said absently: "What do you want to say?"
"Since they couldn't find it, they wanted to turn themselves into mermaids, so they soaked themselves in the water, hoping that over time, webs would grow between their toes, their legs would slowly connect together, and they would eventually adapt to living in the water.
”
Speaking of her toes, she couldn't help but scratch them in the bucket. The gaps between her toes were already a little uncomfortable due to being soaked for too long.
She couldn't help but frown, thinking that he would finish telling this boring story quickly so that he could find a way to find clothes for her to wear.
But after saying that, he stopped moving again.
Chu Jiaoli reacted quickly. She raised her hands and looked at the wrinkled hands. She was suddenly shocked and said: "You don't want to turn me into a fish, do you?!"
Beigong Tengxiao raised the corners of his lips in gloating, and said: "If you became a shark, wouldn't you be afraid of water? You would also save on wearing clothes. When the time comes, I will release you into the sea, and my boat will be cleaner.
”
If there is no follow-up to that story, it is naturally impossible for people to become sharks. The ending is obvious!
Chu Jiaoli suddenly felt like crying. Wasn't he taking revenge on her for slandering him and beating her up in the afternoon?!
She said eagerly: "I was wrong, I was wrong. I will never slander you again. I don't want to die here! Your compassionate Highness, please help me!"
Hearing this, Beigong Tengxiao sighed helplessly, turned and left.
Hearing her footsteps walking further and further away, Chu Jiaoli was suddenly shocked and said: "Don't go!"
There are so many men on this boat, she doesn’t want to just run away!
There was a sound of cloth, bringing up a gust of wind.
Chu Jiaoli looked up and saw a set of pure white clothes thrown on the screen.
She immediately smiled and stood up with a "wow" sound, saying: "You are so kind!"
Beigong Tengxiao sat back in his seat with an awkward look on his face and said, "I don't have women's clothes, so you'll just have to make do with it."
Chu Jiaoli was stunned for a moment, then pulled down the white clothes and dragged the loose clothes to the ground.
She suddenly felt a little uneasy, so she brought it to the tip of her nose and smelled it gently, and the pleasant smell of Bei Gong Tengxiao's body hit her nostrils.
Her face suddenly turned as red as fire, and her thoughts exploded in an instant.
Oh my god, these are his clothes!
Her fingers were trembling more and more. She swallowed and slowly put on her clothes. The large clothes wrapped her little one, making her feel warm.
However, the skirt trailing on the ground is really inconvenient for walking...
Hearing that there was no movement inside, Beigong Tengxiao raised her eyebrows slightly, looked at Pingfengshan's clothes that she had taken off, and did not ask.
She carefully carried her clothes and walked out of the screen, but Beigong Tengxiao's figure was nowhere to be seen.
After looking around, there was a very comfortable bed here. She slowly sat on it, covered herself with quilt, closed her eyes and fell asleep.
The second floor is Beigong Tengxiao's bedroom, where he mostly moves around. The guards are usually on standby on the first and third floors, and only go upstairs to report important matters.
The long staircase leading from the first floor to the third floor isolates the second floor, so as not to disturb Beigong Tengxiao's rest.
Just now Jingyue wanted to talk to him about something, but Chu Jiaoli was bathing here, so Jingyue couldn't come up, so Beigong Tengxiao went downstairs.
When he walked up, he was stunned when he looked at the girl occupying his bed.
After standing in front of the bed for a long time, his beautiful eyebrows frowned, relaxed and frowned again, extremely tangled.
Why is this woman so unreasonable? Didn’t you see that there is only one bed on this floor?!
He kindly gave her food, water for bathing, and his own clothes. Well, now there is nothing to share with her. She occupied his only bed, which is really a shame!
He really wanted to carry her downstairs and throw her into that wooden box!
Didn’t you sleep soundly in that box before?
"Well..." Chu Jiaoli frowned slightly, hugged the quilt in her hand tightly, and curled up into a ball.
The temperature on the sea did get a little colder at night. Beigong Tengxiao looked at her trembling appearance and knew that she was cold.
He looked away indifferently, turned around and sat on the chair, took a sip of tea, snorted, and whispered: "Who cares about you?"
She is just cold, but he is not.
When he was in Chunli Hall, he had already condescended to sleep on the beauty's bed. When he was not in Chunli Hall, he could finally sleep on a comfortable bed. Unexpectedly, this hateful woman actually stole aboard his ship.
, occupied his nest!
It was obvious that he was the one who was offended, but she felt pitiful. It made her really angry no matter how much she thought about it!
He gritted his teeth, then picked a few green grapes and ate them displeased.
"It's so cold..." A gust of sea breeze blew by, and Chu Jiaoli slightly frowned in discomfort and said weakly.
Beigong Tengxiao paused for a moment while picking grapes, then sighed softly, stood up, and slowly closed the windows one by one.
The sound of the waves outside became much quieter with the windows closed, and the atmosphere inside the house became much calmer.
Chu Jiaoli's brows slowly relaxed, and she finally turned over comfortably and fell asleep peacefully.
Beigong Tengxiao supported his chin with one hand and looked at her back for a long time.
"Your Highness, your concubine is so kind."
This is what Jingyue mentioned casually downstairs just now.
Beigong Tengxiao frowned with complicated eyebrows. Is he really nice to her?
After thinking about it carefully, he seemed to have protected her many times.
He ordered Xiang Yini to be prevented from coming to Chunli Palace to cause trouble, and punished her to recite family rules to deal with the Queen Mother while she was recovering from her injuries. He was afraid that Xiang Yini would cause trouble for her, so he stayed at Chunli Palace for many days...
