He ordered Xiang Yini to be prevented from coming to Chunli Hall to cause trouble, and punished her to copy the 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 Hall for many days...
Unconsciously, he did so many things for her?
Why...why did she do this?
He sat in a chair in a daze, without reacting.
In her mind, the images of her and Chu Jiaoli slowly overlapped and intertwined...
He couldn't help but frown, raised his hand to rub his eyebrows, and whispered: "She is not Li'er, she is not Li'er..."
How could he compare this confused, clumsy, rude, and rude woman with his pear?!
He took a few more sips of the cooled tea, and it was indeed scalding hot when it entered his throat.
His heart was beating hard for no apparent reason.
After thinking for a long time, the mist in his eyes slowly dissipated, revealing a decisive look. When he returns to Beiming, he will put her aside at all costs. Even if she is unreasonable, he will not care so much.
Got it!
The next day, morning.
Chu Jiaoli rubbed her eyes and stood up. The sounds of seagulls and waves could be heard outside the window.
She opened the window and the sunlight poured in, warming the bed.
She yawned lazily, then turned over and walked off the bed. Passing by the dressing table next to her, she looked at the polished bronze mirror.
She looked sleepy in the bronze mirror, her hair disheveled, and the loose clothes were on her body. She inexplicably felt that they fit her perfectly. She unconsciously raised the corners of her lips, and then she was arranging her hair in front of the dressing table, humming melodiously.
melody.
This sleep is really comfortable. It turns out that Xiang Yini and I are not under the same roof, so I feel so relieved.
Maybe...she subconsciously regards Xiang Yini as her love rival...
She sighed softly, and then shook her head. When she thought about not seeing that annoying guy for two months and not having to face the pressure of the Yousheng Cult, she felt so good that she wanted to scream.
However, Beigong Tengxiao didn't like making noise, so she simply suppressed it.
Prince's Mansion, Yini Palace.
Xiang Yini looked at the copied family rules, snorted coldly, and threw the brush in her hand to the ground.
A pair of haggard beautiful eyes clearly showed that she had not slept well in recent days, and she had stayed up all night to copy the house rules.
Beigong Tengxiao was gone, and she didn't want to waste a moment in the Prince's Mansion!
Looking at her sore and trembling right hand, she gritted her teeth with hatred. Her left hand was already useless, and now her right hand was also going to be useless!
The sound of "cracking" firecrackers continued outside the house for a long time.
Xiang Yini closed her tired eyes, raised her hand and rubbed her eyebrows, and said, "Why is it so noisy outside?"
"Your Majesty, the second prince was canonized as Prince Ling today. His Majesty gave him a royal palace, not far from the Prince's Mansion. The sound of firecrackers at the moment should be that Prince Ling has moved in." Huan Pei explained beside her.
"Oh?" Xiang Yini raised her eyebrows slightly, her tone was much calmer, and her eyes were deep, and she said, "Not far from the Prince's Mansion?"
"Yes, empress."
Hearing this, Xiang Yini slightly raised the corners of her lips, stood up slowly, and said, "Now that His Highness is not here, let's go and congratulate the prince."
"Your Majesty, I just heard from the maids that Your Highness has already prepared the gift and is about to send someone to deliver it."
Hearing this, Xiang Yini narrowed her eyes in displeasure, glanced at her, her voice deepened, and said: "You mean to say that I, the Crown Prince and Concubine, are not qualified at all to represent His Highness.
Are you sending congratulations to the prince’s brother?”
Hearing this, Huanpei's face turned pale, and he knelt down with a plop and kowtowed a few times. He frowned anxiously and said, "I don't dare!"
"Humph." Xiang Yiyi snorted coldly, as if on purpose, he raised his foot and crushed her hand on the ground, and walked out.
"Ah!" Huan Pei grinned in pain and cried in grievance.
Xiang Yini slowly turned her head, her eyes a little oppressive, and said word by word: "What's wrong?"
Huan Pei immediately shook her head in a hurry and said, "Go back to your Majesty, nothing happens..."
After saying this, Xiang Yini raised her lips with satisfaction and walked out.
Surprisingly, after Beigong Tengxiao left, no one was sent to monitor her, and no one stopped her when she went out.
Beigong Tengxiao took away Jing Yue and Jing Ling's two confidants, and it seemed that the mansion was much quieter...
She narrowed her eyes slightly. The Prince's Palace was surprisingly strange, and there was no noise of revelry in the Concubine's Palace.
She frowned slightly, paused at the gate, and said, "Have you seen Zhonggong Huanli?"
That stinky girl is the most attached to Bei Gong Tengxiao. No matter what she does, she will rush to report it!
The attendant guarding the door lowered his head and said: "As for your Majesty, the concubine has followed your Highness to Nanyue Kingdom."
Xiang Yini frowned, how could she not know about such a big event?!
"His Highness took away the concubine to pay homage to Emperor Nanyue, right?" There was a hint of urgency in her tone, which was too disrespectful of her as the principal concubine!
The attendants heard that Bei Gong Tengxiao sent someone to row a boat to report this matter. This morning, the man returned to the Prince's Mansion to report urgently. Chu Jiaoli did not return yesterday, so they thought Chu Jiaoli was missing.
He lowered his head and replied: "Maybe so."
Xiang Yini snorted slightly and said: "I know."
Forget it, now that she’s gone, what else can she do? Wouldn’t it be better if the stinky girl is gone?
After thinking about it, she said to the guard: "I am going to Prince Ling's Mansion to congratulate Prince Ling."
"Back to your mother-in-law, Your Highness said that she is free to come and go. As long as she returns home before sunset, she can go anywhere except her mother's house without reporting." The guard lowered his head and said.
Hearing this, a hint of joy flashed in Xiang Yini's eyes. It seemed that she had not lost face in front of others. Such indulgence meant that the illusion of being favored still existed.
Just...
She sneered coldly, Beigong Tengxiao, you are too careless!
Without further words, she crossed the threshold.
Prince Ling's Mansion.
There was a crowd of people in front of the door, and all the civil and military officials came to congratulate and give gifts. Beigong Qianling, wearing a blue python robe, stood in front of the door to welcome the guests.
That handsome face was full of smiles, and moving out of the palace seemed to be the happiest thing in his life.
Xiang Yini raised her chin slightly, with a hint of arrogance, and stepped in front of him.
It had been a while since I'd seen Xiang Yini, and the smile on Beigong Qianling's face became even more excited.
"No... the emperor's sister-in-law is here, welcome!" Beigong Qianling looked at her beautiful figure and said with a smile.
"Prince Ling, His Highness the Crown Prince is traveling far away on official business. I hope you won't mind. On behalf of His Highness the Crown Prince, I would like to send congratulations to Prince Ling."
Hearing her soft voice, Beigong Qianling felt like he hadn't seen her for a long time! God knows how much he missed her!
Looking at those bloodshot eyes, his face seemed a little haggard, he frowned subconsciously, and a trace of distress flashed under his eyes.
