Chapter 6 Homeless
"Then I must have misunderstood the benton." Beigong Tengxiao smiled slightly, and took out a Mrs. Tang from his side to give her, saying, "Warm your hands."

Chu Jiaoli carefully picked up the exquisitely embroidered Tang Pozi, and put it on her lap. She gradually became unaware of the coldness. She exhaled slowly, and her thoughts relaxed: "Thank you, Your Highness." She lowered her head, Pursing her lips, she said, "Minister would never have thought that His Highness would walk without a carriage, and that's why she mistook you for someone else..."

Beigong Tengxiao slightly raised his eyebrows, and said, "I seldom go out, but you know me well."

Chu Jiaoli paused for a moment. When she first saw Beigong Tengxiao, she was indeed like those ordinary people and didn't know his identity.

She blinked twice in embarrassment, pressed her slender fingers on the embroidered Mrs. Tang with some strength, her nails were slightly white, she tried her best not to feel guilty, and said, "I've seen the portrait."

There are no portraits of the royal family in the imperial capital, and private painting is a serious crime. Apart from the carriage symbolizing the royal family and the noble python robe, the only thing that can prove his identity is the badge on his waist.

Today he is dressed in ordinary clothes, and the only ones who can stop and watch him are young girls, it is impossible for ordinary people to know his identity.

As for the hair crown on his head, although it is unique to the royal family, it is little known.

But Beigong Tengxiao didn't poke it, just smiled lightly and said, "You really made me curious."

Chu Jiaoli pursed her lips, and said, "Folk girls are very boring, not worthy of His Highness's curiosity."

"I just passed by Shizi Qi's mansion just now. I heard passers-by say that the daughter of an imperial merchant is selling herself to save her sister. I didn't want to disturb them, so I got off the carriage to see what happened, but I never thought I would meet you." Bei Gongteng Xiao looked up at her and chuckled, "As for leaving the palace, it was to buy bows and arrows, but you spent all of my money."

"Minnv didn't mean to bother His Highness, as for asking His Highness for help... it was really forced by the situation."

A trace of joke flashed across Beigong Tengxiao's eyes, and said: "I don't mean to blame you, but I just want to lament the ingenious fate. Since I will spend money to buy you, I think you are more interesting than that bow and arrow." many."

Chu Jiaoli swallowed her saliva, and seemed to feel that the atmosphere was a little awkward. She looked outside, and suddenly a strong wind blew, and a carriage in the opposite direction passed in front of her. There was a young man in the carriage, about fifteen or sixteen years old, The exquisite facial features are eighty percent similar to Beigong Tengxiao.

Her eyes widened in disbelief, and she took a closer look before she could confirm that she was not dazzled.

Beigong Tengxiao is the only son of the emperor, and the emperor only has two younger brothers who are over forty years old. That young man looks like he was carved out of the same mold as Beigong Tengxiao. She has never seen this person before, and she couldn't help but arouse her attention. Strong curiosity.

The young man in the car seemed to have noticed the ardent gaze, and glanced at her lightly, causing her to turn around and sit down immediately in fright.

Seeing her nervous expression, Bei Gong Teng Xiao slightly raised his eyebrows and said, "What's wrong?"

Chu Jiaoli slowly grasped the dress on her knees, and said, "I saw a boy who... looks similar to His Highness."

Beigong Tengxiao took advantage of the situation and glanced at the gap in the front curtain, peeking through the curtain to see the back of the people in the car, his eyes dimmed, and his voice was slightly low and authentic: "An unimportant person."

Seeing his unusual attitude, he obviously knew him, and he seemed... a little unhappy.

Chu Jiaoli secretly remembered this person, pursed her lips, and stopped continuing the topic that made him unhappy, and said, "Where is the carriage... going?"

Beigong Tengxiao smiled slightly, poured two cups of tea with his head down, and said, "Go back to the palace."

Chu Jiaoli was stunned, as if a little embarrassed.

Beigong Tengxiao raised his cup and took a sip of tea, raised his long eyebrows, and said, "What's the matter? I bought you for 1000 taels, can't I take you away?"

Chu Jiaoli slightly frowned, struggled for a while, and finally said, "Your Highness, in fact, Steward Zhao only gave the Chu House 100 taels of silver..."

"Oh?" Beigong Tengxiao was stunned for a while, then smiled relievedly, and said, "It's okay, then the 900 taels of the bento, it's my own self-indulgence."

Chu Jiaoli immediately regretted her talkativeness. She bit her lip and said, "No, Minnv is very moved. Minnv will pay off your money as soon as possible, and then..."

Beigong Tengxiao chuckled and said, "How do I pay it back?"

In a word, when Chu Jiaoli was asked, her expression changed slightly, but she opened her lips without answering.

"Just pretend that you only borrowed 100 taels, but right now you are penniless and homeless?"

It is true that the Chu Mansion cannot go back, she has nothing.

Seeing her slightly frustrated expression, Beigong Tengxiao slightly raised his eyebrows, pushed the cup full of tea in front of her, and said, "You want to be free?"

Two months later, the emperor will build a mansion for Beigong Tengxiao, and he is still living in the palace right now.

There are many rules in the palace. When she entered the palace in the past, Beigong Tengxiao was already the emperor. With Beigong Tengxiao's favor, she was already a noble status with one person under one person and above ten thousand people. She had never learned the palace rules. No one has ever dared to point fingers at her.

But today is different from the past, and her status is different now, if she doesn't cater to Beigong Tengxiao as a concubine, she will definitely suffer a lot.

After thinking about it, she nodded lightly: "Yeah."

"I have an idea for you."

Hearing this, Chu Jiaoli raised her eyes to look at him, the clear eyes that reflected her reflection seemed to be smiling but not smiling.

"If you are my maid, the 100 taels will be your monthly silver. When you pay it off, I will give you back your freedom."

100 taels is not a small amount for a servant, if so, Beigong Tengxiao wants to keep her for a long time.

Chu Jiaoli slightly raised her eyebrows, then raised her hand, and pulled out the hairpin on her head. The smooth black hair spread out, like a pure and beautiful exiled fairy, her aloof and cold temperament, even though she was dressed poorly, she was noble.

I saw that she put the crude hairpin on the table. At the end of the hairpin, there were traces of being sharpened by a sharp blade, which was very sharp.

That was what she imagined before, if she didn't have the opportunity to ask for help on the street, she would prevent Zhao Yuanwai from getting close to protect herself.

She looked up at him and said, "Your Highness, it's not safe to keep me close. Please think twice, Your Highness."

Beigong Tengxiao picked up the hairpin on the table, smiled interestingly, and said: "You dare to show the hidden weapon to me, it's naturally safe."

Seeing that he was not on guard, Chu Jiaoli frowned slightly, and said, "I won't hurt you, but it doesn't mean I won't cause trouble for you."

Beigong Tengxiao raised the corners of his lips and said, "It's okay, I'm not afraid of trouble."

Chu Jiaoli was speechless for a moment, he was obviously determined to keep her.

Beigong Tengxiao looked at her with a smile that was not a smile, and said: "I will let you be the highest-ranking maid in the East Palace, and the palace will reward you a lot, so I won't keep you for long."
