"Recently, I have been coming to the palace often when I have time. Don't you like her? Sending her to the Imperial Academy and losing the time to accompany you will not do you any good, right?"
Beigong Tengxiao smiled lightly and said: "My son is happy with the pear, but the pear is not his belongings. She also has things she wants to do. I will try my best to help her and see her happy.
That’s enough.”
Bei Gonglie paused for a moment, chuckled, and said, "Your always strong temper has changed a lot for her."
Beigong Tengxiao raised the corners of his lips and said, "I can't stop her from getting better. I have my own way of treating her well."
Bei Gonglie narrowed his eyes slightly, breathed a long sigh of relief, and said: "However, you should not forget that as the prince of a country, there are many things that you cannot control yourself."
There was a hint of evil in Beigong Tengxiao's eyes, and he said: "My father has made her the princess. Now she has her own reputation. She has also been admitted to the Imperial Academy. She is more than enough to be a legitimate wife, right?"
Bei Gonglie pursed his lips lightly and said: "There are many people who are superior to her. Please listen to my advice. Doting alone may not be a form of protection."
Hearing this, Beigong Tengxiao frowned slightly and held the glass cup filled with tea tightly.
Could it be that... the inferiority he felt about her came from him?
That night.
Chu Jiaoli sat in front of the desk and read the book. After reading the last page, she closed the book.
When she heard the door being pushed open with a "squeak", she raised her eyes slightly, then raised her eyebrows and said, "Your Highness, it's almost midnight. Isn't it a bit unreasonable for you to break into the women's boudoir at night?"
Beigong Tengxiao gently raised the corners of his lips and said, "I didn't bother you to read the book."
Chu Jiaoli closed her tired eyes, raised her hand and rubbed her eyebrows, and said, "Your Highness, please don't tell me that you waited at the door for a long time and only came in when you saw me closing my book."
He walked slowly to her desk, flipped through the book she had just read, and said, "You are right."
Chu Jiaoli was stunned, slowly lowered her head, and whispered: "Your Highness... you don't have to be like this..."
Beigong Tengxiao looked at the circles of her homework, with errors neatly corrected in small regular script with hairpin flowers. He pursed his lips and said, "Are you happy in the Imperial College?"
Chu Jiaoli smiled lightly and said, "Happy."
He raised his eyebrows slightly and said, "Miss Bai San seems to have a bad relationship with you, don't you mind?"
"When I entered the Imperial Academy, she was the female master and I was the disciple. That's it. There's nothing to mind."
I heard from Jing Yue that she has been pestering Bai Yueying recently. When Bai Yueying saw her, she wanted to take a detour. She was so talkative that she was in a state of panic all day long.
After thinking about it, he burst out laughing and said, "Your way of revenge is really unique."
Chu Jiaoli sighed helplessly and said: "I don't know what your highness is talking about. Jiaoli just wants to seek justice. She must teach me what she should teach me."
Beigong Tengxiao gently raised the corners of his lips, raised his hand and rubbed her head lovingly.
It's good that she won't be angry.
After thinking about it, he took out a box from his sleeve and put it in her hand.
Chu Jiaoli raised her eyebrows slightly, opened the box, and looked at a string of gold wire rings with red agate beads hanging underneath. She asked in confusion: "What is this?"
"The nine-ring chain is a small toy. Don't work too hard at ordinary times. Just relax."
Chu Jiaoli's eyes lit up, maybe it was a mechanical toy like the wooden box before, which she liked.
"Thank you, Your Highness." After saying this, she lowered her head and started playing seriously.
After only a moment, his chin was gently lifted.
She looked at Beigong Tengxiao with confusion in her eyes and said, "What's the matter?"
Beigong Tengxiao sighed softly and said: "You little heartless person, am I always inferior to these gadgets? It's in vain that I waited for you at the door for so long. You just ignore me like this.
palace?"
Chu Jiaoli bit her lip gently and said, "Your Highness, I'm sorry, I just couldn't help myself..."
Bei Gong Tengxiao raised his other hand to caress her cheek, with a gentle smile, he leaned over her ear and whispered hoarsely: "I... occasionally I can't help myself..."
Chu Jiaoli only felt a slight itch in her ears. She swallowed and slowly closed her eyes.
Beigong Tengxiao twirled a strand of her hair and wrapped it around it a little. He put it to the tip of his nose and smelled it with some infatuation, and said: "Since you became the princess, I have shown you affection and courtesy.
I don’t know if it’s worth it…”
Chu Jiaoli looked away with a guilty conscience, and the next moment, she was hugged by him.
With a small exclamation, Beigong Tengxiao walked towards the bed.
Chu Jiaoli looked away slightly nervously, with a faint blush on her cheeks.
Beigong Tengxiao leaned over and kissed her forehead gently.
Chu Jiaoli pursed her lips and whispered: "Your Highness, I have to get up early to go to school tomorrow..."
"You also know that you have to get up early?" Beigong Tengxiao said with a bit of doting blame, which made her a little confused.
She blinked her eyes and said: "Your Highness, you don't want to..."
Beigong Tengxiao chuckled, raised his hand and covered her with a thin quilt, and said: "In your eyes, am I such a restless person?"
Chu Jiaoli raised her eyebrows slightly and said, "Isn't it?"
"You!" Beigong Tengxiao choked, then gritted his teeth slightly unwillingly and said, "If you don't take a bath tomorrow, I will definitely deal with you severely now."
Chu Jiaoli sighed softly and said, "Look, His Highness just can't keep his temper."
Beigong Tengxiao snorted softly and said: "That's because you always like to provoke me. When has it not been you who provoked me?"
"Which time?" Chu Jiaoli raised her eyebrows slightly and said, "The time when Mrs. Yang died suddenly, the time when Miss Xiang went to the main hall of the Prince's Mansion, the time when the Emperor went to the courtyard of the Prince's Mansion, the time when I was enjoying the scenery on the lake.
, that time I rode in your carriage to eat cakes in April, as long as Your Highness was in the mood, there was no need for any excuse? Jiao Li felt that she was very innocent, and now she was wronged by His Highness. Alas, Jiao Li finally knew that she was called a beauty
How unjust the people who caused the disaster are..."
"Okay, okay." Beigong Tengxiao was unable to refute as he was pointed out. He raised his hand and rubbed the center of his brow, and said, "You are such a clever talker that you really think you are underestimating your talent if you don't become a yamen lawyer."
Hearing this, Chu Jiaoli suppressed a slight smile hidden in her eyes and said calmly: "If you are not clever with your mouth, you will always suffer."
"Since you have become the princess, I will not destroy your good reputation at will." Beigong Tengxiao's voice was a little softer, and he raised his hand to stroke a strand of hair that fell on her face, and gently
He tucked it behind his ear and said, "I didn't go through the front door. No one will see me entering your room."
A trace of astonishment flashed in Chu Jiaoli's eyes. Did he come to see her secretly?
He gently covered her eyes and said, "No matter what you are thinking, close your eyes now and don't open them again."
