How could he say the title she tried so hard to get so easily?
There was a hint of ridicule in her eyes, whether she was laughing at him or herself.
The status she had only dreamed of obtaining in her previous life, in this life...she no longer covets it.
She lowered her head slowly, adjusted her breathing, and said: "Your Highness, please forgive me for speaking frankly. This slave has very little benefit to Your Highness. For the position of Crown Princess, Miss Xiang is a hundred times more suitable than this slave."
Beigong Tengxiao frowned, raised her chin, and said, "Didn't you say that you are from me and will listen to me? I want you to be obedient now."
Chu Jiaoli smiled faintly and said: "My servant will naturally obey anything that is beneficial to His Highness, but I will not be able to obey anything that is harmful to Your Highness but will not benefit you at all."
Beigong Tengxiao asked in confusion: "What's the harm?"
"First, the slave is only the daughter of the emperor's concubine and has no prominent family background. In the affairs of the court, the slave cannot help His Highness in the slightest; second, His Highness shirks the Emperor's favorite candidate and marries a maid in his own palace. Not only will he not be able to
Let His Highness make all the jokes in front of all the civil and military officials, and the Emperor will be bored with His Highness; thirdly, this slave is an extremely jealous, short-sighted, unreasonable, petty, sinister and sinister woman, who is not as smart, beautiful and generous as Miss Xiang.
I'm worried, Your Highness has a bad heart."
Beigong Tengxiao chuckled lightly and said: "First, regardless of responsibility, I am happy with you. It is just a man's love for a woman. It has nothing to do with identity or government affairs; second, if I am doing it for my beloved,
If you are a person who can't resist even small rumors, that would be too incompetent; thirdly, I really want to see how you are extremely jealous, short-sighted, unreasonable, petty, sinister, and vicious.
I owe you this, and you should be like this."
Chu Jiaoli was stunned for a moment, with a sarcastic smile in her eyes.
If she really changes back to her former self, he should be disgusted...
While she was thinking, Beigong Tengxiao raised his hand and pulled off the hairpin on the left side of her head, and the black hair spread out like a waterfall.
With Chu Jiaoli's astonished look on her face, Beigong Tengxiao held the hairpin in her hand, grabbed her wrist, and pressed the sharp point of the hairpin against his chest.
Beigong Tengxiao gently raised the corners of his lips and said: "Okay, show me how vicious you are, just like what you want to do to Zhao Yuanwai."
Chu Jiaoli frowned, and the hand holding the hairpin trembled a little, then she broke away from him with all her strength, threw the hairpin into the corner, and said: "Your Highness is crazy!"
Beigong Tengxiao looked at her slightly evasive eyes, raised his eyebrows and said: "Don't dare? Or are you reluctant to give up?"
Chu Jiaoli slowly lowered her head, was silent for a moment, and said: "Your Highness, from the first time you and I sat in this carriage, I have said that I will not harm you."
Hearing this, Beigong Tengxiao sighed quietly and said, "Do I have to say it clearly..."
Chu Jiaoli's hand peeling the chestnuts paused lightly and said: "What?"
Beigong Tengxiao raised his hand and rubbed his eyebrows, and said sadly: "If you don't express your thoughts, I will not be able to feel at ease."
Chu Jiaoli raised her eyebrows slightly and was silent for a moment, then slowly put the peeled chestnuts between her teeth, raised her head, put the chestnuts into his mouth, and said hoarsely: "Does this make His Highness feel more at ease?"
"
Beigong Tengxiao's eyes were slightly startled, and then a smile flashed across his eyes. He chewed the chestnuts in his mouth, swallowed them with a little reluctance, gently raised the corners of his lips, and said: "This is the best I have ever eaten.
Sweet chestnuts.”
"Can't you?" Chu Jiaoli sat upright, exhaled softly, lowered her head and continued peeling chestnuts, and said, "The chestnuts were selected by the servant when she went out to buy them. As usual, they are all sweet."
As soon as she finished speaking, her chin was lifted up, and her lips were pressed against the man in front of her.
Bei Gong Tengxiao looked down at her eyes with a faint look, gently touched her lips with his fingertips, and said hoarsely: "You have such a mouth, as long as you don't speak, you can do anything."
Chu Jiaoli opened her bright eyes and looked at him innocently.
Beigong Tengxiao swallowed his saliva and kissed her lips again. The carriage was full of affection.
Chu Jiaoli put her hands on his chest, frowned and said, "Your Highness..."
Beigong Tengxiao stopped and raised his eyebrows slightly, a trace of loneliness flashed across his eyes. Is she... still unwilling?
Just as she was about to speak, she saw Chu Jiaoli's cheeks were slightly red, she lowered her head and whispered: "At least... let's go back home first..."
Hearing this, Beigong Tengxiao raised the corners of his lips happily and said, "Okay."
The next day.
The afternoon sun is still bright.
Chu Jiaoli was lying on the beauty's couch, her black hair scattered on her dress winding like a stream. She leaned lightly on her wrist, her beautiful eyes slightly opened with a hint of laziness. She was extremely relaxed, and there was a refreshing feeling in her eyes.
The charm that penetrates to the bone marrow, captivates the soul.
She looked at the pleasant lotus pond in the distance. It was almost early summer, and the lotus flowers were showing their pointed buds, waiting to bloom.
Time passed by little by little, and a lot of time had passed since Chu Jiaoping harmed her.
She stood up slowly, sat in front of the dressing table, opened the jewelry box filled with assorted items, flipped through it gently, and took out a small porcelain bottle hidden at the bottom.
She bought this from Wen Ruyu last time. She turned her eyes and looked at Zi Lin who was sweeping the dust on the shelf. She raised her eyebrows slightly and said, "Zilin, have you seen the orchids?
"
Zi Lin thought for a while and said, "Oh, Lancao, I heard Master Jingyue say this morning that she returned to her hometown to get married."
Hearing this, Chu Jiaoli frowned and said, "So sudden?"
Zi Lin nodded and said, "Yes, does Sister Jiaoli have anything to do with her?"
Chu Jiaoli sighed softly and said, "Nothing."
She looked down at the porcelain bottle in her hand, rubbed it gently with her fingertips, and a trace of regret flashed in her eyes.
I originally wanted to ask her to do something for me...
After walking out of the room, Chu Jiaoli breathed out softly,
She looked outside and saw the maid sweeping the steps with her head lowered. She smiled lightly and said, "Feng'er, come with me to the Chu Mansion."
Hearing this, the maid named Feng'er stopped the broom in her hand, lowered her head and said, "Yes."
A luxurious carriage slowly stopped in front of the Chu Mansion. Chu Jiaoli got out of the car with her skirt in hand, and saw that the Chu Mansion had returned to its former glory.
Seeing Chu Jiaoli get off the expensive carriage, the old housekeeper who used to be cold-eyed towards her now greeted her with a smile: "Miss Third, you are back! I have always missed you!"
The Chu Mansion must know that it was Chu Jiaoli who killed Chu Yuanzhe, the second young master of the Chu Mansion, the only son of Chu Jingmao. It is really funny to have such a flattering face now.
Hearing this, Chu Jiaoli half-smiled and half-sarcastically said, "Didn't I come back to see you?"
"Yes, yes, please come in!" the old housekeeper nodded and bowed.
Stepping into the door, I saw the familiar maid and servant.
Since the Chu Mansion restored its status as an imperial merchant, it has recruited back its servants who had been dismissed.
