Chapter 40
"Homeless? What kind of reason is that? You have the skills to make a living, and you can create a small world by yourself. Are you afraid that you won't have a place to live?"

Chu Jiaoli pursed her lips and said, "Your Highness is worried that I will be alone and suffer hardships."

"He's not that kind." Chu Jiaoxing crossed her arms and said, "I owe Beigong Qianqiu so much money so I can't leave, and Beigong Tengxiao doesn't even give you a chance to pay back the money." ! From my point of view, he is simply more exaggerated and shameless than Beigong Qianqiu!"

Chu Jiaoli stood up abruptly, and said, "How can you say that about Your Highness?!"

Chu Jiaoxing blinked her eyes and said, "Why, what's the matter?"

After reacting, Chu Jiaoli raised her hand to cover her mouth in a little surprise, then sat down with her head bowed in embarrassment.

Chu Jiaoxing was stunned, looking at her who was always protecting Beigong Tengxiao, a trace of suspicion flashed in her eyes, she slightly raised her eyebrows, and said, "You don't really like Beigong Tengxiao, do you?"

Chu Jiaoli was startled, and immediately frowned and said, "How, how is it possible..."

Chu Jiaoxing thought for a while, and said, "That's true. If you like him, you won't think about leaving." She reached out to hold Chu Jiaoli's hand, and said seriously, "Don't worry, since you want to leave, I will do my best to help you!"

Hearing this, Chu Jiaoli smiled faintly and said, "Well, then thank you big sister."

After returning to the Prince's Mansion and walking into the main hall, Chu Jiaoli put the snacks on the table and said, "Your Highness, I have bought it."

"En." Beigong Tengxiao responded lightly, glanced at the wrapped paper bag, and raised his eyebrows in surprise, this thing is really delicious.

Jingyue came in from the door and said, "Your Highness, the little Lanzi in the palace is asking to see you."

Xiao Lanzi is the eunuch next to Beigong Lie, and he must have come to the Prince's Mansion to get some refreshments, Beigong Tengxiao said calmly, "Xuan."

"Yes."

Xiao Lanzi walked over with small steps, and said with a smile on her face: "Your Highness, this servant is ordered by the Emperor to invite Miss Jiaoli into the palace to perform dances for the Emperor."

Hearing this, Chu Jiaoli was startled, and her pupils constricted suddenly.

She pursed her lips tightly, and promised Concubine Ling Gui not to step into the palace. These days, the biggest threat to her life is this matter, not to mention...

She slowly looked at Beigong Tengxiao.

"Jiaoli?" Beigong Tengxiao frowned slightly, and said, "Father has admitted the wrong person, Jiaoli can't dance."

Hearing this, Chu Jiaoli's heart beat fast.

During the concubine selection banquet before, Chu Jiaoli had already told Beigong Tengxiao that she could not dance, but now she hit him in the face like this...

Xiao Lanzi still smiled and joked: "Oh, Your Highness is really fond of joking. The emperor saw it with his own eyes in Leling Palace. The slaves were also there at that time. Miss Jiaoli's dance was as beautiful as a fairy. After the emperor returned, it was Thinking about it day and night, I almost fell into lovesickness!"

Listening to Xiao Lanzi's embellished words, a thin layer of sweat broke out on Chu Jiaoli's forehead nervously.

Hearing this, Beigong Tengxiao slowly put down the cup of tea he had drunk, raised his eyebrows slightly, and said in an unusually calm voice: "Oh? Really?"

"You can't be wrong, it's Miss Jiaoli!"

Hearing this, Beigong Tengxiao showed a faint smile and did not answer.

Seeing that Beigong Tengxiao remained silent, Chu Jiaoli whispered, "Your Highness, servant..."

Beigong Tengxiao slightly raised the corners of his lips, and said, "It's okay, since the emperor likes you, you can go."

Chu Jiaoli couldn't figure out whether he was happy or angry, so she responded in a low voice, "Yes."

The Imperial Palace, the Hall of Pure Heart.

"My maidservant sees the emperor." Chu Jiaoli lowered her head and bowed to Bei Gonglie with a heart full of anxiety.

Bei Gonglie was dressed in a dragon robe and sat on the dragon chair. When he saw her coming, he showed a faint smile, raised his hand and said, "Get flat."

"Yes."

Seeing that Chu Jiaoli was always looking timidly at her heart, Bei Gonglie's voice softened a little, and said: "I have no other intentions, I just want to appreciate your dancing posture, you don't need to be nervous."

Chu Jiaoli pursed her lips and said, "Thank you, Your Majesty, for your love."

After preparing for a while, the music started, and Chu Jiaoli danced to the tune.

Looking at the graceful figure, Bei Gonglie was slightly dumbfounded.

There is such a beautiful dance in the world.

In contrast, Concubine Ling Gui's dance was a little stiffer, unlike the girl in front of her who was not stained by mud...

A few days ago, he only watched a short section of the Leling Palace, and he didn't find it satisfying. Now, seeing such a complete dance in such an excellent view, he couldn't help but feel very happy.

It was indeed the right decision to ask Xiao Lanzi to announce her over.

After giving up the dance, Bei Gonglie laughed loudly and said, "Okay, this dance is so beautiful! I'm afraid I'll never see those people's dancing postures again after seeing you."

Hearing this, Chu Jiaoli was shocked, lowered her head and said, "The emperor has praised you absurdly."

Leling Palace.

Concubine Ling finished her lunch break and was sitting in front of the vanity mirror getting dressed.

Hong Ying walked in quickly from the door, frowned and said: "Your Majesty, the little Lanzi next to the Emperor drove out of the palace in a carriage to bring Chu Jiaoli from the Prince's Mansion into the palace, and perform dances for the Emperor! "

"What?!" Concubine Ling patted the table and got up, gritted her teeth viciously, her eyes were filled with sullenness, and said, "Okay, that cheap fox is so bold that he doesn't keep my words in his heart at all! "

Hongying continued to fan the flames and said: "Your Majesty, this servant has already reminded you that Chu Jiaoli is not a simple person!"

Concubine Ling swept all the things on the table to the ground, making a loud crackling sound, and the maid beside her knelt on the ground.

She narrowed her eyes slightly and said, "Hongying!"

"Yes, ma'am."

"Quickly send a message to Chu Jiaoping. Tomorrow will be the time when Chu Jiaoli's poison will flare up. Find a chance and get rid of her."

Hong Ying sneered triumphantly and said, "Obey."

In the carriage going back, Chu Jiaoli thought deeply.

Before meeting Bei Gonglie in the previous life, she was already a member of Beigong Tengxiao, but now that her status is different, Bei Gonglie seems to have other ideas about her.

Her thoughts were a little confused, whether it was happiness or sadness...

If she became Bei Gonglie's favorite concubine, she might have a chance to help Bei Gong Tengxiao.

Back at the Prince's Mansion, in the courtyard, Beigong Tengxiao lay on the rocking chair with his eyes closed, Chu Jiaoli looked up for a while, he seemed to have fallen asleep.

She walked lightly and walked past him slowly.

"Why doesn't Ben Gong know that you dance beautifully, as moving as a fairy?" After speaking, he slowly opened his eyes, his eyes were gloomy.

Chu Jiaoli was stunned for a moment, turned around and bowed her head towards him, tightly clenched her fists in her sleeves, and said, "I didn't intend to deceive His Highness, it was just..."

Beigong Tengxiao slightly raised his eyebrows and said, "Just what?"

Chu Jiaoli bit her lips, and said in a slightly lower voice, "I just don't want to compete with the Crown Princess who is to be elected by Your Highness."

Beigong Tengxiao narrowed his phoenix eyes slightly, and said, "I want you to steal the limelight."

Chu Jiaoli was slightly stunned, feeling uneasy in her heart, this situation is not very good...
