Chapter 278

into the night.

The chessboard is densely covered with warm black and white jade chess pieces, with a "click", the white piece held between the slender fingers fell off the chessboard after a long hesitation.

Chu Jiaoli raised the back of her hand to cover her lips and yawned quietly, then blinked vigorously, with sleepy tears in the corners of her tired eyes.

Beigong Tengxiao reached out to take away the winning white pieces on the chessboard, then looked up at Chu Jiaoli who was holding on, and slightly raised the corners of his lips, saying, "Very jealous."

A word suddenly floated in the quiet air for a long time, and Chu Jiaoli, who was dozing off, was startled, looked at him blankly with sleepy eyes, and said, "What?"

Beigong Tengxiao glanced at the chessboard again, and said, "You have already lost."

Chu Jiaoli pursed her lips, lowered her head, picked up the chess pieces one by one, put them back into the chess box, and said, "My lord is indeed a chess master, and he has won seven games in a row tonight."

Beigong Tengxiao stared at her slightly tired eyes, and said calmly: "So, this king has played seven games of chess with you tonight."

After tidying up the chess pieces, Chu Jiaoli had no intention of leaving, instead she placed another piece on the clean chessboard, sighed lightly, and couldn't help but yawned again and again, she coughed lightly in embarrassment , said: "Is the lord making fun of the courtiers and concubines who are not as good as others?"

With a "click", Beigong Tengxiao also fell down, and a soft voice sounded: "Why... who?"

The tired Chu Jiaoli obviously had a much slower thinking than usual, and she didn't realize what he was doing, so she opened her lips and said, "For example, Aunt Xu."

"Your chess skills are much better than hers." The corners of Beigong Tengxiao's lips raised with a sense of superiority, she was a proud student he taught himself, "This king has only played two games with her."

"Really?" Chu Jiaoli slightly raised her eyebrows, and her nervous mind of comparison was relieved a bit, "Maybe it's just that Aunt Xu was nervous for a while and didn't perform well."

Beigong Tengxiao smiled, and said, "What do you mean, I hope this king will play chess with her more?"

Chu Jiaoli paused slightly with the hand holding the chess piece, and then unconsciously put more strength on it, saying: "The concubine is just a concubine who has fallen out of favor, how can she have the right to influence the prince's thoughts?"

Beigong Tengxiao glanced at the chessboard, the corners of his lips raised lightly, and said, "One wrong step, one wrong step, and you lose again."

Chu Jiaoli bit her lip, picked up the chess pieces, and prepared for the next game.

Beigong Tengxiao looked into her stubborn eyes, with a trace of pampering helplessness flashing across his eyes, and said, "You don't necessarily want me to accompany you until dawn?"

Chu Jiaoli pursed her lips, and said, "My lord has played too much today, are you bored?"

Beigong Tengxiao looked at her with a smile that was not a smile, and what she said was like: I'm full after secretly eating outside, so I can't eat anymore at home?

"I will never get tired of doing anything with you, but I don't like wasting time on meaningless things."

Chu Jiaoli couldn't help biting her lips, and her voice was obviously a little cold: "Is it meaningless to play chess with courtiers and concubines?"

"At least, you don't like playing chess that much." Beigong Tengxiao propped his chin with one hand and leaned his elbows on the table. He didn't want to leave when he said this, with a look of willingness to accompany him.

At the beginning, when she learned piano, chess, calligraphy and painting, she just hoped to become more outstanding, as long as she got involved, her greatest interests were reading, embroidery, and playing xun. Playing chess is not something she likes to do on weekdays.

Chu Jiaoli sighed lightly, put the chess pieces back into the chess box, and said, "It's true that I'm not as interested as Aunt Xu."

Beigong Tengxiao chuckled and said, "Aunt Xu likes to play chess."

Hearing this, Chu Jiaoli frowned slightly, did he even know her preferences?
"She can only play chess." Beigong Tengxiao said again, "So, I have no choice but to play chess with her."

Hearing this, Chu Jiaoli's brows relaxed again, she bit her lips, and said, "That concubine is really lucky, just happened to meet Aunt Xu, otherwise, it would be the exclusive memory of the prince and her."

Beigong Tengxiao said seriously: "If she knows something you don't know, I will teach you personally."

Hearing this, Chu Jiaoli's heart skipped a beat, she raised her eyes to look at him, and her glass-like eyes shone with light.

Beigong Tengxiao got up and walked in front of her, saying: "There is one thing you know and she can't, but this king is determined to never teach her."

Chu Jiaoli raised her eyebrows suspiciously, and said, "What?"

The next moment, Beigong Tengxiao hugged her horizontally, with an ambiguous smile in his phoenix eyes, he said in a hoarse voice: "Warm bed."

Hearing this, Chu Jiaoli blushed shyly and leaned her head on his chest.

Beigong Tengxiao put her on the bed, stroked her temples gently, and said, "Are you still angry about what happened this morning?"

Chu Jiaoli slightly raised her eyebrows: "This morning?"

Beigong Tengxiao pressed the tip of his nose against hers, and said softly, "It's about the child."

"The concubine is not angry." Chu Jiaoli smiled softly, put her arms around his neck, and said, "A small matter is not worth arguing, it will affect your relationship, and everything is arranged by the prince."

Beigong Tengxiao pecked her lips hard as punishment, and said: "Then when this king is about to leave, you ignore me?"

Chu Jiaoli pursed her lips in embarrassment, and whispered: "The concubine is... asleep..."

Hearing this, Beigong Tengxiao chuckled, stroked her long hair caressingly, and pressed her lips against hers.

The next day, afternoon.

Chu Jiaoli and Chu Jiaotang returned to the Imperial Palace.

The little girl is easy to coax, after walking around all morning, yesterday's troubles are forgotten, now she is holding Chu Jiaoli in one hand, and holding the windmill in the other, bouncing and humming.

Chu Jiaoli showed a doting and gentle smile, raised her hand to help her fix the hairpin, and said, "Be careful, your hair is going to fall apart."

Chu Jiaotang froze for a moment, then looked at her in a daze.

Chu Jiaoli was a little puzzled by her, she raised her eyebrows and asked softly, "What's wrong?"

Chu Jiaotang smiled and said, "Sister Huanli, I just saw you as the third sister, you really look like the third sister."

Chu Jiaoli had a sore nose, she pursed her lips, and smiled faintly: "Because we look alike."

"No." Chu Jiaotang shook her head and said, "I think you and Third Sister are really similar. They are as gentle and take care of me as her, just like a real sister."

Chu Jiaoli bit her lip secretly, and said, "That's because Sister Huanli has many younger sisters, of course Sister Huanli knows how to make her sister happy."

"Is that so..." Chu Jiaotang nodded thoughtfully, then sighed dejectedly, and said, "It's a pity that the third sister has changed now, she is not as good as sister Huanli...she is like My second sister is the same, cold and mean..."

Chu Jiaoli touched her head, and said: "Perhaps it's because sister Wangfei is pregnant. Sister Huanli heard that her temper will be bad when she is pregnant..."
