Chapter 89
Looking at the booths with paper lanterns and river lanterns hanging everywhere, she slightly raised her eyebrows and asked, "What day...is it?"

Beigong Tengxiao sat on the precious chair behind her, slightly raised the corners of his lips, and said, "It must be a special festival for me to find you today."

Chu Jiaoli was stunned for a moment, she was too busy these days, so she didn't pay much attention to time.

She lowered her head and counted the days, her brows slightly tightened, and she said, "Today...is Qixi Festival?"

Beigong Tengxiao slightly raised the corners of his lips, and said, "Not bad."

Today, she still has an impression.

During the Qixi Festival in her previous life, Chu Jiaoli sat in her room all day dressed up in full dress. She was full of vanity, so she wanted to take advantage of such a grand festival to attend with Beigong Tengxiao dressed up.

However, she did not consider that Bei Gonglie had long been lingering on the sick bed. In order to win the throne, Bei Gong Tengxiao did not dare to neglect him in the slightest, and took care of Bei Gonglie until late at night before returning home.

When he came back, the Qixi Festival event had already ended, and he, who had been working so hard, didn't get the slightest thoughtful care from her, but sulked alone.

After thinking about it, she bit her lips lightly and said, "Your Highness, don't you need to go to the palace today?"

"It's not necessary to go every day."

Thinking about it, the current situation of Beigong Lie can still be alone. In this way, the competition between Beigong Tengxiao and Beigong Qianqiu can also slow down.

Beigong Tengxiao showed a faint smile, and said: "I just said that I lost my beloved pet kitten. If I find it back, I will naturally take care of her."

Chu Jiaoli sighed helplessly, turned her head, and said, "Your Highness, I am not..."

"Your Highness, Xiaoli was found. She didn't run out of the mansion. She just hid in a tree in the backyard." Jingyue came up from downstairs, holding a meowing snow-white long-haired kitten in her arms.

Chu Jiaoli was slightly taken aback, she... misunderstood?

Jingyue carried the kitten to the table, then backed away.

The kitten yelled viciously at Beigong Tengxiao. Beigong Tengxiao looked at the kitten, raised his hand to caress its furry back, with a gentle smile in his eyes, and said, "Bengong recently I have a cat named 'Little Pear', do you think it looks good?"

Chu Jiaoli frowned slightly, and said, "Your Highness, please don't use my name to name your pet without authorization, okay?"

Hearing this, Beigong Tengxiao chuckled in a low voice, and said, "Is the word 'Pear' your name? This cat's fur is pure white like a pear flower, so I call it Xiaoli."

Chu Jiaoli frowned uncomfortably as he watched him show such affection for the kitten.

She bit her lips lightly. She was so narrow-minded that she could be jealous of a kitten...

Beigong Tengxiao slightly raised the corners of his lips, and said, "However, I think it really looks like you."

Chu Jiaoli frowned, and said, "How can I be like a cat?"

"Cats are lonely and arrogant. They are always incapable of feeling their emotions. Sometimes they ignore their owners, and sometimes they are so soft that they make their owners feel uncomfortable." Bei Gong Tengxiao raised his index finger to tease the kitten on the table, and the cat sometimes kissed affectionately. Rubbing his hand, sometimes lying down on his back to play with him, suddenly opened his mouth and bit his finger.

Chu Jiaoli's eyes suddenly burst into sullen anger, what a bold kitten, how dare to hurt him like this in front of her!

Beigong Tengxiao didn't show any pain. After withdrawing his hand, he raised his hand and picked up a piece of pastry on the table and fed it to it.

He smiled lightly and said, "Sometimes it's cute to be eloquent."

"Hmph." Chu Jiaoli snorted coldly, glanced at the kitten on the table happily eating cakes, and said, "I never bit you."

Beigong Tengxiao teased, "I still remember that slap of yours."

Hearing this, Chu Jiaoli choked for a moment, and turned her back to him in a little embarrassment.

"Fall asleep so soon." Beigong Tengxiao's voice was very soft, and Xiaoli on the table was already tired from playing and fell asleep.

Chu Jiaoli sighed softly, and said, "Since His Highness's kitten has been found, can I go back?"

Beigong Tengxiao showed a slight smile, and said, "How about playing chess for a while?"

Chu Jiaoli hesitated for a while, then walked to the chess table and sat down, saying, "Okay."

Beigong Tengxiao frowned slightly, and said, "So easy to agree?"

"If you have nothing to do, it's good to improve my chess skills. Anyway, no matter how cautious I dodge, Your Highness will play a scoundrel. I've already gotten used to it." Chu Jiaoli said lazily, picked up the black stones in the chess box and dropped them. down.

Beigong Tengxiao sat across from her, raised his hand and said, "Don't you want to guard against me?"

Chu Jiaoli sighed softly, and said, "It's impossible to guard against."

Three hours later.

Chu Jiaoli was resting on her side on the comfortable soft couch, and the curtain by the window was quietly lowered by Beigong Tengxiao.

The beauty took a nap peacefully, and the chess game all morning made her a little tired.

Two koi on the lake jumped out of the water to play, and the sound of splashing and rippling gradually made her conscious, her eyelashes fluttered, and she slowly opened her eyes.

In his hand was a letter left by Bei Gong Teng Xiao. Bei Gong Lie had something to ask him, so he went back to the palace temporarily. The letter said that she would not let her wait too long.

She put the letter on the table next to her, then raised her hand and yawned quietly, got up and walked to the window at the bow, and said to Jing Lan downstairs: "Jing Lan, what time is it now?"

"Go back to the princess, it's already a quarter of the time."

Chu Jiaoli looked up at the clear sky, then sat sideways on the horizontal chair by the window, looking at the shimmering lakeside.

Suddenly feeling a movement in her leg, Chu Jiaoli was slightly startled, and looked down, it was Xiaoli who jumped up.

She froze for a moment, then swallowed.

She has never been with cats before, and she doesn't like this wayward kitten from the bottom of her heart. Maybe it will jump up and scratch her face at any time...

After thinking about it, she frowned, and wanted to ask Jing Lan to get it off, but Xiao Li just obediently rubbed her skirt with her cheeks, and then cried out softly, as if asking for her touch .

Chu Jiaoli hesitated for a while, then slowly stretched out her hand and stroked its small head.

The little guy unexpectedly liked her, without any intention of attacking, he quickly curled up into a ball, curled up on her lap, and snored reassuringly.

Chu Jiaoli finally let go of her defenses, showing a gentle smile, and then took out the suet white jade xun from her sleeve, looked at the scenery outside the window, and blew a tender song.

Qiqiao Festival, even during the daytime, is much more lively than usual.

The Guozijian was on holiday, and some eunuchs with spare money also bought a painting boat, and several painting boats sailed on the shore of this huge lake.

In the distance came the sounds of girls playing, and the studious teenagers recited poems and made love, so leisurely.

Chu Jiaoli looked up, and her gaze stayed on an elegant painting boat, where several girls were sitting around the table, and the girl in a pink dress was particularly eye-catching.
