Chapter 114
Beigong Tengxiao, who was sipping tea, paused slightly. He narrowed his eyes slowly, then took a sip of tea gracefully, put the teacup on the table slowly, and said, "Got it."

Jing Yue, who was behind her, frowned worriedly, and said, "Do you want to go to the Princess's Mansion, Your Highness?"

Beigong Tengxiao showed a faint smile and said, "No need."

Hearing this, Jing Yue's eyes were a little surprised, and she said, "Your Highness is not afraid of them..."

"Since Li'er will report to Bengong, I naturally don't want Bengong to misunderstand anything." Beigong Tengxiao slightly raised the corners of his lips, and said, "Bengong believes in Lier."

"But...Prince Tianyu can't be trusted, right?" Jing Yue whispered.

Beigong Tengxiao got up, snorted softly, and said, "If Nangong Tianyu dares to do something out of line, Jing Lan will naturally stop it."

Jingyue nodded knowingly, and when she saw Beigong Tengxiao leaving, she slightly raised her eyebrows, followed immediately, and said, "Where is Your Highness going?"

There was a hint of a smile in Beigong Tengxiao's eyes, and he said, "Enter the palace."

Anheju.

"Princess Anhe, in fact, my father only sent my imperial sister Tianque to discuss the alliance with Emperor Beiming. The reason why my prince followed the imperial sister was to see you." Nangong Tianyu said earnestly.

Chu Jiaoli showed a faint smile, and said: "If this is the case, it is really an honor for An He, but An He is just a businessman with no power and power, and it is not worth the trouble of His Royal Highness."

Nangong Tianyu looked into her eyes and said with a slight smile, "I think it's worth it, so it's worth it."

Chu Jiaoli's hand holding the teacup was a little harder, and she slowly lowered her head, with a polite smile on her face, without answering.

Nangong Tianyu slightly raised his eyebrows and said, "An He, may I ask you something?"

Chu Jiaoli seemed to know the purpose of his visit this time, she nodded lightly and said, "Ask."

Nangong Tianyu asked cautiously: "Do you have any love for Prince Beiming?"

Chu Jiaoli was slightly startled, as if she never thought that he would mention Beigong Tengxiao, she pursed her lips, thought for a while, and then opened her lips and said, "Sorry, Your Highness, this is An He's private matter, An He and don't want to talk about it."

Nangong Tianyu smiled awkwardly, and said, "It's okay, I was the one who was abrupt."

The atmosphere was stalemate for a while, he exhaled softly, and said: "Princess Anhe, Nanyue and Beiming are far away, it is not easy for my prince to come to Beiming, so, some thoughts, it is better to come straight to the point , I hope you don't mind."

Chu Jiaoli shook her head and said, "Your Highness, it's okay to say."

Nangong Tianyu smiled lightly, and said with sincere eyes: "The first time this prince saw Princess Anhe, he was delighted by your graceful dancing posture, and after seeing each other several times, you have left an indelible impression on my heart. After a few months, this prince still misses you every day, but I don’t know what An He thinks of this prince?"

Chu Jiaoli bit her lips lightly, and said: "His Royal Highness is an excellent person, he treats others with humility and courtesy, An He appreciates it very much, but even if you put aside your identity, An He only treats you as an ordinary friend, and I hope , we will only be friends from now on.”

At the end of the sentence, Nangong Tianyu was silent for a while, frowned slightly, and said, "Is there really... no possibility for us?"

Chu Jiaoli shook her head.

Seeing this, a trace of loneliness flashed across Nangong Tianyu's eyes, he sighed lightly, and then smiled wryly: "It's fine if Princess Anhe refuses, I appreciate your decisiveness."

Chu Jiaoli smiled faintly, and said, "I'm really bothering the prince to come to Beiming. I hope that An He didn't let you down too much."

Nangong Tianyu's eyes were gentle, although a little sad, but this trip to Beiming to see her was also satisfying.

Even if he knew what experience she had with Beigong Tengxiao, he could accept it.

Her demeanor is so dignified and elegant, without any cowardice, the rejection of him must not be because of the fear of people's resentment during that experience, but simply because...she really has no feelings for him...

He exhaled lightly, and said: "Although I'm not sure if you want to belong, but if you regard me as a friend, I hope that what I said just now will not affect the friendship between you and me."

Chu Jiaoli smiled and said, "Of course not."

The Imperial Palace, the Hall of Pure Heart.

Warm incense is burning in the hall, the situation on the chessboard is tense, the black and white chess pieces are in the shape of two dragons killing each other, and it is difficult to distinguish between equals.

Beigong Tengxiao picked up a warm black jade chess piece with his slender fingers, slowly lowered it, and said, "Father, my son wants to marry Jiaoli as the princess."

Bei Gonglie paused slightly, frowned, and said in a low voice, "No."

Beigong Tengxiao slightly raised the corners of his lips, and said: "I am not discussing with my father, but just telling my father about my decision. Jiaoli, my son will definitely marry."

Bei Gonglie narrowed his eyes slightly, with a hint of displeasure in his eyes, and said, "Are you getting more courageous?"

Beigong Tengxiao smiled slightly, and said: "In the past, the emperor named her the princess, and her status was already higher than the daughters of all the courtiers. Today, the Guozijian's performance list has been released, and Jiaoli's grades are at the top of Class A. She is also the first among the girls in the four classes, and Erchen arranged for her to enter the Imperial Academy, and now she is well-known far and wide, in terms of status, appearance, talent, learning, and virtue, she is well-deserved for the position of the Crown Princess."

Bei Gonglie was silenced by these words. Although he was once in love with Chu Jiaoli, he never imagined that this weak girl could make such a great achievement.

It's just that Xiang Ganting approached him yesterday and promised him to discuss Xiang Yini's marriage with Beigong Tengxiao, what should I do...

He still frowned, and said: "The charming that I mentioned to you earlier, do you have any consideration? Could it be that you want the palm of the Marquis Mansion, the most talented woman in the imperial capital, to commit herself to being a side concubine?"

Beigong Tengxiao said calmly: "I never considered that apart from Li'er, I will not marry anyone in this palace. Li'er must be my main concubine and only wife."

"Never marry anyone but her? Absurd!" Bei Gong yelled angrily, and said, "Prince, as a royal heir, you must not be arrogant. The prince only marries one person? Are you trying to make the neighbors laugh at my son like this? Shabby?
"Then what is the charm of Chu Jiaoli? Since she appeared, you have become more and more rebellious towards me. I gave her to you, but I didn't let her take you away!
"No matter how much I liked her, I have let go of her. Why are you so dazed by her... She is such a beauty!"

Hearing this, Beigong Tengxiao snorted coldly, and said: "Really? Father's love is so cheap, and a woman who once cared about her can be trampled so unbearably? This son is not father, son I am a man of flesh and blood, and she is my son's woman, and my son will definitely be responsible to the end, and will never be the one who starts messing around and ends up abandoning her."
