"The enemy of my enemy is my friend. I have a close relationship with Chu Jiaoli. I need you. Before she dies, she will ruin her reputation. If you do well, I will protect your prosperity and wealth."
Hearing this, Chu Jiaoping's eyes flashed with light. This was an excellent opportunity given to her by God! Chu Jiaoping's fortune finally turned!
"Yes! Jiao Ping will definitely live up to your Majesty's expectations!"
Inside the Prince's Mansion.
Chu Jiaoli was lying on the bed, raising her hand to look at the delicate bracelet on her wrist, and she couldn't help but smile.
Her eyes were soft and she murmured in a low voice: "Of course I like the things you personally gave me."
She slowly brought the bracelet to her lips, kissed it lightly, then held it carefully, leaned it against her heart, closed her eyes and fell asleep with a smile.
The next day, it was still late, and the March sunshine already had a few rays of warmth.
In the small pavilion, Beigong Tengxiao propped his chin on one hand and raised his eyes to look at the girl beside him for a long time.
Chu Jiaoli stood with her eyes slightly closed, as if she was a little sleepy, her feet were a little sore from standing, and she was already shaky.
The wealthy life had gone too long, and she was not used to standing for long periods of time.
Beigong Tengxiao raised the corners of his lips, quietly raised his hand, and gently poked her knee.
Chu Jiaoli suddenly woke up, immediately opened her eyes wide, and almost staggered.
Immediately, her wrist was grabbed and she was pulled down, causing her body to fall backwards and sit on the cushioned bench.
Seeing her making a fool of herself, Beigong Tengxiao couldn't help but chuckle.
A faint blush appeared on Chu Jiaoli's cheeks. She tried to break away from Bei Gong Tengxiao's hand and stood up, but was always firmly held. She lowered her head and frowned: "Your Highness, this slave did not do it on purpose."
It's really too much, to be such a prank...
"Just sit down when you are tired." Beigong Tengxiao slowly let go of his hand and said, "I am not that unkind."
"Thank you, Your Highness..." Chu Jiaoli responded softly.
Beigong Tengxiao looked at her, thought for a while, and said: "I heard that your eldest sister opened a snack shop called Shuxiangmendi outside. The business was so good that my father was also greedy after hearing about it.
, I don’t want to go. Seeing that you two sisters have a good relationship, you can go on my behalf later.”
Chu Jiaoli was stunned for a moment and quickly recalled it.
Isn't this the day when they first met?
I still remember that during this time, Chu Jiaoli became the head wife of the Zhao family. Zhao Yuan took in two concubines, so she had free time to go to the Shuxiang family and chat with Chu Jiaoxing for a while.
Just in front of the door, she dressed in a white dress and walked out of the door as Mrs. Zhao, and met Beigong Tengxiao who came.
Just one glance will be unforgettable.
If the relationship between Bei Gong Tengxiao and Bei Gong Lie is really not good, and she is his maid and Chu Jiaoxing's sister, then it would be reasonable to let her go for him.
She lowered her head and responded: "Yes."
Potato Xiang Family.
Under the four-character plaque with dancing dragons and phoenixes, there is an endless stream of customers in the magnificent shop.
She has actually eaten the snacks invented by Chu Jiaoxing. Strange things like potato chips and French fries are very popular.
Chu Jiaoli stepped inside the door and looked at a familiar scene. But her current mood was completely different.
Her heart was so calm that there was no more disturbance, and there was no involuntary pain at that time.
Chu Jiaoxing was busy calling the guests to come in. When she saw a girl in a light blue dress coming to the door, her eyes showed joy. She immediately stepped forward and held her hand, smiling: "Li'er! Come on.
Look at me!"
Chu Jiaoli smiled faintly and said: "His Highness asked me to come to eldest sister's place to buy some snacks and chat with you for a while."
"Really?" Chu Jiaoxing immediately asked the waiter to make snacks, then took her hand and walked to the private room on the second floor. She looked her up and down and said, "Look at you, you look good. You are living well in the Prince's Mansion."
How about it? Is Beigong Tengxiao nice to you?"
A trace of surprise flashed across Chu Jiaoli's eyes.
This Chu Jiaoxing was always so young, she would call the Crown Prince Qi, the Crown Prince Jin, and the Crown Prince on a first-name basis, even the princes of neighboring countries.
She has a straightforward character, but she always has good luck unexpectedly. She has never been punished with beheading because of the wrong words or wrong things she said or did.
Maybe this is Chu Jiaoxing, a carefree and carefree girl, but also very lucky.
But she is different, she is Chu Jiaoli, she is close to the emperor's family, and she does not rely on Beigong Tengxiao as a strong backer, so she needs to be cautious in everything, and there can be no mistakes.
She smiled faintly and replied: "It's pretty good. My eldest sister is doing well too."
Chu Jiaoping glanced at the lively diners around her, sighed again, and said: "Although I make a lot of money every day, I am still very poor. Thanks to Chu Jiaoping, I owe Beigong Qianqiu a lot of debt.
I’m afraid I’ll never get ahead…”
Chu Jiaoli looked at her dejected look. She owed Bei Gong Qianqiu one million taels of gold. Bei Gong Qianqiu expected that she would not be able to repay it, so he naturally didn't mind her doing her own business outside the prince's mansion.
Unlike her, even a mere one hundred taels of silver can make it difficult for her to fly.
She seemed to have thought of something, and suddenly raised her eyes to look at Chu Jiaoxing, and said: "Sister, I have some expensive jewelry, can you help me pawn it? You only need to pay me back a hundred taels of silver, and the other two taels of silver will be fine."
You can give them all to your sister."
After saying that, she took off the white jade necklace around her neck and the exquisite flower hairpin in her hair, put them on the table together, and said: "I only have this much on me now, I will send other things later."
Chu Jiaoxing looked at the expensive jewelry, and her eyes suddenly lit up, and she said, "These two alone are worth a lot of money." She picked up the necklace and looked at it, and then looked at the pear blossom bracelet on her wrist.
, said, "This bracelet of yours seems to be more valuable."
Hearing this, Chu Jiaoli immediately pulled down her sleeves to cover the bracelet, lowered her head slightly and said, "This is not for sale."
Seeing that she was protecting something she must have loved, Chu Jiaoxing nodded and said, "By the way, why don't you go pawn it yourself?"
Chu Jiaoli sighed softly and said: "I have been to all the pawn shops in the imperial capital, but no one is willing to trade with me. If I can pawn by myself, what else can I do in the Prince's Mansion..."
Chu Jiaoxing frowned and said, "Beigong Tengxiao actually bullied you like this. Do you owe the thousand taels he gave to Zhao Mansion in front of the Shizi Mansion?"
Chu Jiaoli shook her head and said, "It's only one hundred taels."
"One hundred taels?" Chu Jiaoxing raised her eyebrows suspiciously and said, "Is Beigong Tengxiao really nice to you?"
Chu Jiaoli was slightly stunned and said: "I can't say it's not good. Apart from not letting me leave, other aspects are... pretty good."
Chu Jiaoxing frowned and said: "Confining your freedom, what good is this?"
When she heard someone talking bad about Beigong Tengxiao, Chu Jiaoli had to defend herself. She clenched her fists and said, "He was afraid that I would be homeless, so he kindly took me in..."
"Homeless? What's the reason for this? You have the skills to make a living, and you can make your own way, so why are you worried about not having a place to live?"
