"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?"
Chu Jiaoli pursed her lips and said, "Your Highness is worried that I will be alone and suffer hardships."
"He's not that kind." Chu Jiaoxing folded her arms and said, "I owe Bei Gong Qianqiu so much money that I can't leave, and Bei Gong Tengxiao didn't even give you a chance to pay back the money.
! In my opinion, he is simply more outrageous and shameless than Kitamiya Chiaki!"
Chu Jiaoli stood up suddenly and said: "How can you say that to Your Highness?!"
After finishing her words, Chu Jiaoli raised her hand to cover her mouth in surprise, then sat down with her head down in embarrassment.
Chu Jiaoxing was stunned, looking at her who always defended Beigong Tengxiao, a trace of suspicion flashed in her eyes, she raised her eyebrows slightly and said: "You don't like Beigong Tengxiao, do you?"
Chu Jiaoli was startled and immediately frowned and said: "How, how is this possible..."
Chu Jiaoxing thought for a while and said, "That's true. If you like him, you wouldn't want to leave." She reached out to hold Chu Jiaoli's hand and said seriously, "Don't worry, since you want to leave,
Returning to the Prince's Mansion and walking into the main hall, Chu Jiaoli placed the snacks on the table and said, "Your Highness, I have bought them."
"Yeah." Beigong Tengxiao responded softly, glanced at the wrapped paper bag, and raised his eyebrows in surprise. This thing is indeed very fragrant.
Jingyue walked in from outside the door and said: "Your Highness, Xiao Lanzi from the palace wants to see you."
Xiao Lanzi was the eunuch beside Bei Gong Lie. He must have come to the Prince's Mansion to get some snacks. Beigong Tengxiao said calmly: "Xuan."
"yes."
Xiao Lanzi walked over with small steps and said with a smile on her face: "Your Highness, on the order of the Emperor, I invite Miss Jiaoli to enter the palace to perform a dance for the Emperor."
Hearing this, Chu Jiaoli was startled, and her pupils suddenly narrowed.
She pursed her lips tightly, having previously promised Concubine Ling that she would never set foot in the palace again. These days, the biggest threat to her life is this matter, not to mention...
She slowly looked at Beigong Tengxiao.
"Jiaoli?" Beigong Tengxiao frowned and said, "Father, you recognized the wrong person. Jiaoli can't dance."
Hearing this, Chu Jiaoli's heart beat rapidly.
During the previous concubine selection banquet, Chu Jiaoli told Bei Gong Tengxiao that she could not dance, but now she slapped him in the face like this...
Xiaolanzi still smiled and joked: "Oh, His Highness really loves to joke. The Emperor saw it with his own eyes in Leling Palace. The servants were also present at that time. Miss Jiaoli's dance was as beautiful as a fairy. After the Emperor returned,
I think about it day and night, and I almost feel lovesick!"
Listening to Xiaolanzi's embellished words, a thin layer of sweat broke out on Chu Jiaoli's forehead nervously.
Hearing this, Beigong Tengxiao slowly put down the tea cup he had drank from, raised his eyebrows slightly, and said in an unusually calm voice: "Oh? Really?"
"It's absolutely unmistakable, it's Miss Jiaoli!"
Hearing this, Beigong Tengxiao showed a faint smile and did not answer.
Seeing Beigong Tengxiao not saying a word, Chu Jiaoli whispered: "Your Highness, slave..."
Beigong Tengxiao gently raised the corners of his lips and said: "It doesn't matter, since the emperor likes you, you can go."
Chu Jiaoli couldn't tell whether he was happy or angry, so she responded in a low voice: "Yes."
Imperial Palace, Qingxin Palace.
"My servant, please see your Majesty." Chu Jiaoli lowered her head and saluted Bei Gonglie with an uneasy heart.
Bei Gonglie was dressed in a dragon robe and was sitting on a dragon chair. When he saw her coming, he showed a faint smile and raised his hand: "Sit down."
"yes."
Seeing that Chu Jiaoli was always looking timidly, Bei Gonglie's voice softened a little and said: "I have no other intention, I just want to appreciate your dancing. You don't need to be nervous."
Chu Jiaoli pursed her lips and said, "Thank you, Your Majesty, for your love."
After preparing for a while, the music started playing, and Chu Jiaoli danced to the tune.
Bei Gonglie looked at that graceful figure and was slightly stunned.
There is such a beautiful dance in the world.
In comparison, Concubine Ling's dance was a little stiffer, unlike the girl in front of her who emerged from the mud and remained unsullied...
A few days ago, he only saw a small part of the dance in Leling Palace, but he couldn't find it satisfying. Now, looking at such a complete dance in this excellent field of vision, he couldn't help but feel happy.
It was indeed the right decision to let Xiao Lanzi announce her coming.
After finishing the dance, Bei Gonglie laughed loudly and said: "Okay, this dance is so beautiful! I'm afraid that after seeing you, I will never be able to watch those people's dance again."
Hearing this, Chu Jiaoli was shocked, lowered her head and said, "Your Majesty is so complimentary."
Leling Palace.
Concubine Ling had finished her lunch break and was sitting in front of the dressing mirror getting dressed.
Hongying walked in quickly from outside the door, frowning and said: "Your Majesty, the little Lanzi beside the Emperor drove a carriage out of the palace in person, and went to take Chu Jiaoli from the Prince's Mansion to the palace to perform a dance for the Emperor!
"
"What?!" Concubine Ling slapped the table and stood up, gritting her teeth viciously, with a sullen look in her eyes, and said, "Okay, that bitch fox is so bold and doesn't take my words to heart at all!
"
Hongying continued to fan the flames and said, "Mother, I have warned you a long time ago that Chu Jiaoli is not a simple person!"
Concubine Ling swept everything on the table to the ground, making a loud crackling sound, and the maid next to her knelt on the ground.
She narrowed her eyes slightly and said, "Hongying!"
"Yes, empress."
"Send a message to Chu Jiaoping quickly. Tomorrow will be the time when Chu Jiaoli's poison takes effect. Find an opportunity to kill her."
Hongying sneered successfully and said, "As you command."
In the carriage going back, Chu Jiaoli thought deeply.
Before she met Bei Gong Lie in her previous life, she had already been Bei Gong Tengxiao's friend. Now that her status is different, Bei Gong Lie seems to have other ideas for her.
Her thoughts were a little confused, was she happy or sad...
If she becomes Bei Gong Lie's beloved concubine, she may have the opportunity to help Bei Gong Tengxiao.
Returning to the Prince's Mansion, in the courtyard, Beigong Tengxiao was lying on the rocking chair with his eyes closed. Chu Jiaoli raised her eyes for a while, and he seemed to have fallen asleep.
She walked gently and walked past him slowly.
"How come I don't know that you dance beautifully and move like a fairy?" After saying this, he slowly opened his eyes, his eyes gloomy.
Chu Jiaoli was suddenly startled. She immediately turned around and lowered her head towards him. She nervously clenched the fist in her sleeve and said, "I didn't mean to deceive Your Highness. That day was just..."
Beigong Tengxiao raised his eyebrows slightly and said, "Just what?"
Chu Jiaoli bit her lip, her voice was slightly lowered, and she said, "I just don't want to steal the limelight from the Crown Princess to be selected by Your Highness."
Beigong Tengxiao narrowed his eyes slightly and said: "I just want you to steal the limelight."
Chu Jiaoli was stunned for a moment, feeling uneasy inside. This situation is not good...
