Chapter 182 Don't bother anymore
In the middle of the night, Chu Jiaoli, who had her back to him, slowly opened her eyes. The light in front of the bed had already been turned off. She turned her head and saw only a faint oil lamp left on the table.

Beigong Tengxiao lay prone on the table, perhaps falling asleep.

She blinked her eyes, got up quietly, put on her shoes and socks, tiptoed to sit down in front of him, raised her hand and shook it in front of his closed eyes, but did not respond.

She counted the days with her fingers. It has been four days since the wedding. During these four days, has he fallen asleep on the table like this?

After thinking about it, she slightly frowned and sighed.

This... why bother...

She walked behind the screen and took off a cloak to keep out the cold, came behind him, and gently put it on for him.

The wrist was suddenly grasped forcefully, Chu Jiaoli was startled, and saw Beigong Tengxiao opened his eyes, got up and quickly pulled her over, the wrist that imprisoned her lay across in front of her, leaning against the table.

Chu Jiaoli raised her eyes to meet him, the beating firelight reflected his handsome facial features, and the delicate skin was dyed with a faint warm color.

Even with such indifferent and defensive eyes, she still finds it very nice to see that she can't extricate herself.

So close...you can even feel the sound of breathing...

Looking at his clear face, she blinked her eyes. For some reason, she always felt that they knew each other a long time ago.

Her heartbeat was so fast, it seemed that only her heartbeat was left around, thump, thump, thump...

Beigong Tengxiao frowned slightly, and said, "What are you doing?"

Hearing the sound, Chu Jiaoli slowly came back to her senses, coughed lightly, raised the cloak in her hand, and said, "I'm just... afraid you'll catch a cold..."

Looking at the cloak she was holding, Beigong Tengxiao slowly loosened his grip on her wrist, stood up and turned his back to her.

Chu Jiaoli was a little embarrassed after realizing it. She pursed her lips and said, "Every time you look at me...it's a little strange...you must...love her very much, right?"

Beigong Tengxiao was silent for a moment, and said, "You can't replace her after all."

Hearing this, Chu Jiaoli's eyes inexplicably flashed a trace of loss.

She suddenly had some hope that he gave her such focused and tender eyes, how happy it would be to be hurt to the bone by such an affectionate man...

"It can't be replaced, so why do you stare at me every day?" She muttered dissatisfied.

"You!" Beigong Tengxiao was stunned, as if he couldn't answer these words.

Chu Jiaoli frowned and said: "Remember clearly, my name is Zhonggong Huanli, and I married Beiming for the sake of peace between the two countries, not to be your substitute. If you hate me, we will be inseparable." See, don't always... always imagine me as another person..."

He raised his hand and rubbed his aching temples, and said, "I'm sorry, this is unfair to you, I won't bother you anymore."

When the words fell, he turned and left.

Chu Jiaoli bit her lips, looking at his back, she felt a sense of emptiness in her heart...

She looked a little complicated, walked slowly to the dressing table and sat down, looked at herself in the bronze mirror, raised her hand to caress her face, then looked at her crystal eyes, snorted softly, and said, "In the middle Luo, who hears my voice and doesn't praise a lark? Who sees my eyes and doesn't praise a fairy coming down to earth? Hmph, you really have no taste!"

She got up, glanced at the cloak that fell on the ground, frowned and said, "Be kind as a donkey's liver and lungs!"

At the end of the sentence, she waved her sleeves to extinguish the candle, and walked to the bed.

The next day.

Chu Jiaoli sat in the pavilion, propping her face with one hand, her face full of bewilderment.

"Linglong, do you know where Beigong Tengxiao went after he left yesterday?"

Linglong scratched her head and said: "This servant doesn't know, maybe she went back to her bedroom?"

"His Royal Highness stayed at the palace last night."

Hearing the sound, Chu Jiaoli's heart skipped a beat, she pursed her lips, turned her head and said softly: "Sister Yini is here..."

Xiang Yini slightly raised the corners of her lips, sat beside her, and said, "What's wrong? Your Highness made you unhappy?"

Chu Jiaoli slowly clenched her fists in her sleeves. Why did her heart feel so congested when she heard that Beigong Tengxiao was in another woman's room...

She didn't look directly at Xiang Yini, she lowered her head and sighed, "It's...it's not a big deal..."

Xiang Yini narrowed her eyes slightly, she slept peacefully yesterday, she didn't know what happened to this little girl, but Bei Gong Teng Xiao made such a big fuss at her, she really hurt her last night!
She gritted her teeth secretly, although this girl is not favored, but I heard that her martial arts are not bad, so it is difficult to do anything to her.

But looking at her appearance, she probably fell in love with Beigong Tengxiao.

Xiang Yini joked with a smile: "Your Highness is really serious, every time I get back to the cock crowing, I still don't feel sleepy. Sometimes, my sister is really worried about his body..."

After finishing speaking, she pretended to raise her hand and yawned, then slowly closed her eyes.

Huanpei behind him said: "Is your empress sleepy?"

Xiang Yini sighed softly, raised her hand and rubbed the back of her neck, and said, "Isn't it? You also know how long I've only been asleep..."

Hearing this, Chu Jiaoli smiled awkwardly, and said, "If my sister is sleepy, why don't you go back to the house and go to bed? You need to recover your spirit."

Xiang Yini nodded lightly, and said: "My sister is also considerate, so if that's the case, my sister will be excused."

Chu Jiaoli smiled politely, "Sister Yini, go slowly."

After watching her leave, Chu Jiaoli became more and more bored.

"what!"

Hearing a scream not far away, Chu Jiaoli turned her head to look, and saw a pure white cat jumping onto Xiang Yini's head, grabbing at her coiled bun, refusing to come down no matter what.

Huanpei on the side was also in a hurry, seeing his master's staggering appearance, he was helpless at all.

Chu Jiaoli was startled suddenly, and said, "Oh, where did the cat come from? This is too fierce, I have to help sister Yini."

Linglong frowned worriedly, and said: "Then empress, you have to be careful..."

"Don't worry." Chu Jiaoli waved her hand casually, and ran over with her skirt.

"Ah! Don't bite me! Get down quickly! Get down!" Xiang Yini cried out, staggered and fell out, falling into the water with a "plop".

The cat also made a quick relay kick and threw itself into Chu Jiaoli's arms.

"Hey..." Chu Jiaoli was about to go to rescue her, when the guards beside her jumped into the water to rescue Xiang Yini.

Seeing this, Chu Jiaoli also breathed a sigh of relief, she grabbed the cat with her hand, frowned and reprimanded: "Bold kitten, you are not allowed to bully sister charming!"

"Meow!" The cat stared at her eyes and barked non-stop as if it knew her, its voice full of resentment and longing.

Chu Jiaoli froze for a moment, looking at its innocent and harmless appearance, her heart softened.

Such a cute cat, it makes people feel distressed!
She let go of her hand slowly, and the cat quickly jumped and ran away.
