Chapter 16
"So, you don't want to accept her gift, but want to return it to her? That's why you want to eavesdrop and go out?"

Chu Jiaoli nodded: "Yes."

Beigong Tengxiao smiled faintly, and said, "It's no wonder you didn't mention her name from the beginning to the end."

Chu Jiaoli raised her head to look at him, her gaze was serious and serious, and she said: "Your Highness, the servant did not mention her, not because of selfishness, but because she offended Concubine Ling today, no matter how good she is, she is still useless."

"Oh?" There was a little smile in Beigong Tengxiao's eyes. The girl was thinking about him everywhere. He gently stroked the warm jade hairpin with his fingertips and said, "Since Sun Wanwan is abolished, this hairpin has nothing to do with her." Yes, it looks good, you can keep it."

Hearing this, Chu Jiaoli shook her head, and said: "This is just to show His Highness, since His Highness also thinks it looks good, the servant thinks that everything should give full play to its maximum value, the servant does not need expensive hairpins, this thing... ...The servant is willing to borrow flowers to offer Buddha, His Highness can give it to Miss Xiang."

Beigong Tengxiao raised his eyebrows puzzled, and said, "Why did I give it to her?"

"Because..." Beigong Tengxiao's question made her speechless for a moment, shouldn't he readily accept it?or...

Her eyes darkened slightly, and she said: "This servant is pretending to be smart. Miss Xiang is a noble and distinguished lady, so she definitely doesn't like such hairpins, and it's embarrassing to His Highness..."

Beigong Tengxiao sighed softly, and said: "No, you made a mistake, I don't like her very much."

Chu Jiaoli's heart unconsciously flashed a trace of joy, but she still clenched her teeth and tried hard to remember the cruelty of reality, and said: "Just now the emperor stayed with His Highness, wasn't it to discuss the marriage between His Highness and Miss Xiang? "

Beigong Tengxiao was a little surprised. The girl's perception was more acute than he had imagined. He chuckled and replied, "That's right, Father has already reached the point of marriage."

Hearing this, Chu Jiaoli's heart couldn't help trembling, but it was the first time they met, and they talked about the wedding date, and their wedding day must not be far away...

Even though this matter made her feel extremely uncomfortable, she was still full of curiosity and pondered for a while, she opened her lips and said: "Then Your Highness... when will you plan to arrange a wedding and marry Miss Xiang?"

Hearing this, Beigong Tengxiao slightly raised his long eyebrows and said, "Why did I marry her?"

Chu Jiaoli was slightly stunned, and said: "The emperor has already decided..."

Beigong Tengxiao chuckled and said, "I refused."

Chu Jiaoli raised her eyes, her nails pierced the flesh of her palm fiercely, and the intense pain still made her surprised at what he said.

reject?How could he refuse? !
How dependent he is on Xiangmei!Chu Jiaoli, wake up quickly, don't indulge in the joy of this moment...

She stared at him blankly, her perplexed eyes were somewhat empty: "Your Highness...why did you refuse?"

"As I said just now, I don't have any good feelings for her," he said with a smile, "But if I didn't meet you today, maybe I would agree."

As soon as these words came out, Chu Jiaoli's heart pounded like a hammer, and her eyes still had an expression of disbelief.

Why is it because of her?She didn't interfere with Beigong Tengxiao much today, did she?

She swallowed nervously, and said, "Your Highness...what do you mean?"

Beigong Tengxiao recalled the scene when he first met her, and said: "I know that you have put a lot of effort and risk in order to escape marriage today.

"If you failed to get out of the sedan chair, or begged a high-ranking official with a bad temperament, it would be more miserable than keeping yourself safe, but in order to get rid of your fate, you still mustered up the courage to do so. Based on this alone, I appreciate you.

"Today, by coincidence, I was also forced to marry by my father, but when I thought that you, a little girl, have such great courage, I immediately rejected my father. I have to make my own decisions about my marriage. "

Hearing this, Chu Jiaoli's eyes widened in shock, she would never have thought that her self-help behavior would ruin the marriage between Beigong Tengxiao and Xiang Yini.

She frowned slightly, and said: "Your Highness, you think too highly of your servants. How can Zhao Yuanwai be compared with Miss Xiang? If the father of the servants is looking for a man with an outstanding temperament and a gentle personality A good husband-in-law, slaves and servants will also happily marry, how can they not be reconciled to their fate?"

Beigong Tengxiao chuckled, and said: "Loving someone does not require external evaluation, let alone comparing her with others, only according to my own will, as long as I like her, she is perfect."

A trace of emotion flashed across Chu Jiaoli's eyes, she lowered her head, blinked her blushing eyes vigorously, and said, "But, can His Highness decide the marriage of the royal family by himself?"

Beigong Tengxiao looked down at the translucent light green jade hairpin, smiled slightly, and said, "Of course there is a way to do it."

Chu Jiaoli was a little dazed when she heard that, but although Beigong Tengxiao didn't speak out, she also understood that her status was low, and choosing a good son-in-law with good conditions was enough to spend her life in peace, but he was different, he was a prince , Naturally, there is nothing missing, except the love in my heart.

That's no wonder, Beigong Tengxiao didn't intend to be emperor at all, and now he doesn't think about the interests of the court.

That's all, how should she continue to persuade Beigong Tengxiao and Xiang Yini to get married?

While thinking, she saw Beigong Tengxiao raised his hand, intending to insert the hairpin in her hair.

She was startled suddenly and immediately dodged away.

Beigong Tengxiao was stunned for a moment, his hand was in the air for a while, then he put it in the box and covered it, put it on the shelf beside him, and said indifferently: "Forget it, since you don't like it, then you don't want it."

Chu Jiaoli bit her lips in bewilderment, was he... angry?
She just subconsciously didn't want to touch Sun Wanwan's things...

Beigong Tengxiao glanced at her who was slightly nervous, slightly raised the corners of his lips, and said, "In a few days, I will give you a better one."

Chu Jiaoli raised her eyes, her expression was slightly stunned. Before she could think about it, she saw Beigong Tengxiao raised her arms slightly and said, "Put on clothes."

Hearing this, she quickly withdrew her thoughts and said, "Yes."

Xianghou Mansion.

In the majestic mansion, above the hall, a middle-aged man sat in front of the hall in a fine attire. He looked at the girl in pink who was walking towards him slowly, with no trace of joy in his eyes.

Xiang Yili, who was standing behind Xiang Qianting, looked at the serious-faced elder sister who was approaching, and pursed her lips nervously.

She had never seen her father show such anger towards her sister...

Xiang Yini nodded her head slightly, her calm and composed expression changed slightly, her beautiful eyes darkened.

Both father and daughter understood each other. Although she performed well and was deeply loved by Bei Gonglie, Bei Gong Teng Xiao never took a look at her.
