Chapter 33 A Feast for the Audience
She stood on the second floor of the painting boat, looking at the sparkling lake surface, the sunlight rubbed into the sparkling lake water like pieces of gold.

The blossoming plum blossoms by the river, dotted with the slightly chilly early spring, was an excellent sight, but she had no intention of watching it at this time.

Beigong Tengxiao sat lazily on the padded rosewood chair, looked at her back, worried and silent, and couldn't help teasing: "Why? Swim with me on the lake, let me Are you so uncomfortable?"

Chu Jiaoli pursed her lips, turned around, lowered her head slightly, and said, "I don't dare."

Beigong Tengxiao slightly raised the corners of his lips, got up and walked slowly to the dressing table: "Come here."

"Yes." Chu Jiaoli replied and walked over.

Beigong Tengxiao pointed to the chair in front of him and said, "Sit down."

"Yes."

Looking at her with distant eyes and absent-mindedness in the bronze mirror, Beigong Tengxiao opened the wooden drawer next to the bronze mirror, revealing a dazzling array of precious jewelry.

He smiled slightly and said: "I am in a good mood today, I will reward you with something."

Chu Jiaoli was slightly stunned, looking at him smiling in the bronze mirror, she frowned slightly, her expression became a little nervous.

He has never given her any rewards, it would be fine if he gave her one or two things of his own, these fancy jewelry are all women's, he has prepared so much, no matter how you look at it, it doesn't look right...

Beigong Tengxiao picked up a light purple crystal to wipe her forehead and put it on for her. Before she could react, he took out a pair of hairpins inlaid with gold thread and inserted them in her hair, and a necklace inlaid with rubies , a pair of warm purple jade bracelets... The treasures one after another made her look like heaps of gold and jade.

Chu Jiaoli looked at the girl in the mirror who was gradually becoming gorgeous and rich, her beautiful eyes were a little hesitant.

Beigong Tengxiao smiled brightly, lowered his head slowly, and whispered in her ear: "Isn't it good to wear such beautiful jewelry?"

After speaking, Chu Jiaoli slowly clenched her fist in the sleeve.

Sure enough, he was playing tricks!
She slightly frowned uncomfortably, it was not a good intention to dress up for her, it was clearly a warning to her.

Even if she got off the boat in a while, she would only make a bigger joke if she took these expensive jewelry and went to the pawnshop to pawn them.

When we first met, he made it clear that as long as she paid back the 100 taels of silver, she would be free, and he also tacitly allowed her to accept other people's generous rewards.

But he only wanted silver taels, and her status was low, so she had no right to show evidence that he bought the pawn shop.

He actually set up such a situation and led her into the palace...

She blinked her eyes, took a deep breath, and said, "Your Highness is right, this servant will treasure it carefully."

Since there is no way to go, instead of arguing with him meaninglessly, it is better to wait until he moves into the Prince's Mansion and run away in the chaos on the day he gets married.

Even if she loves him deeply, she will never have such a magnanimous tolerance, smiling and watching him marry a woman she is madly jealous of.

A quarter of an hour later.

Chu Jiaoli sat by the window, watching the bustling crowd on the bank, and there were a few melodious sounds of the piano behind her.

She turned her head slightly, and saw Beigong Tengxiao raised his hand to play with the strings of the guzheng.

The soothing and melodious music lingers in my ears, unlike the gentleness of Xiaojiabiyu, the calm and grand style does not lose the royal demeanor.

She listened quietly to the beautiful tune, and suddenly heard the sound of a few guzheng strings coming from a distance.

After the weak sounds in twos and threes, the sound of the zither gradually became hurried. After listening carefully, there was no conflict with the sound of Beigong Tengxiao's zither, but a perfect fusion of it.

The sound of the two pianos echoes each other, which is really a rare auditory feast.

Chu Jiaoli raised her eyes and saw that in an elegant painting opposite, a young girl was smiling just right, and the sound of the piano came from her hand.

Chu Jiaoli was slightly taken aback looking at the girl, that familiar dignified face was the person she hated to the core - Xiang Yini.

What a beautiful piano sound, she has never heard such a suitable tune, the two of them sing in harmony, and there is a peaceful look.

She slowly turned her head to look at Beigong Tengxiao, Beigong Tengxiao looked down at the guzheng, and when she heard the sound of the zither, she only raised the corners of her lips slightly, without raising her head.

Seeing the smile on his face, her heart ached.

He must feel that he has found a bosom friend, and he thinks so, if she is Beigong Tengxiao, she will be ecstatic about it.

Chu Jiaoli's eyes darkened slightly, she smiled bitterly, and said, "Your Highness and Miss Xiang are really right."

Beigong Tengxiao frowned lightly, slowly raised his head, and saw Xiang Yini in the boat.

He narrowed his phoenix eyes slightly, and saw that Miss Xiang was about to say hello, but his piano sound slowly stopped.

Xiang Yini was slightly stunned, then quickly stood up and saluted, and said: "His Royal Highness, all blessings, are you disturbing Your Highness's elegance?"

Beigong Tengxiao smiled faintly, and said: "Miss Xiang is very good at the piano, today I have met a master."

Hearing this, Xiang Yini smiled and said: "Your Highness is absurdly praised, Ying Ni's piano skills are less than one ten-thousandth of His Highness."

Seeing the polite words of the two, Chu Jiaoli was slightly stunned with a somewhat incomprehensible expression. Beigong Tengxiao's reaction was not quite right, and his smiling face didn't seem like the joy of meeting a confidant by chance.

Before the end of a song, he has stopped, which is really puzzling.

Beigong Tengxiao raised his hand and stroked the strings of the qin, and said: "Since Miss Xiang wants to play the qin, I will play this adult beauty, so I won't bother you much."

A trace of panic flashed in Xiang Yini's eyes, she tightly clenched the trembling fists in her sleeves, smiled politely, and said, "Thank you for your kindness, Your Majesty, I will definitely live up to your Majesty, and miss out on this beautiful and beautiful occasion."

After the words fell, she sat down calmly and continued to raise her hand to play the piano.

Beigong Tengxiao glanced lightly, then turned around and glanced out the window, and said to Chu Jiaoli: "The boat is about to dock, let's go back together."

Chu Jiaoli was taken aback for a moment, then turned her head to look at Xiang Yini who was playing the piano with her head down and smiling, she frowned slightly, and said in a low voice, "Your Highness just left Miss Xiang here... something wrong?"

Beigong Tengxiao got up, stood with his hands behind his back, and said: "I didn't invite her to swim in the lake with me. I have nothing to do with her at all. How can I say it? I like to be clean, and she agreed with me without authorization. I don’t have any interest in the palace’s tune anymore.”

Chu Jiaoli frowned slightly, just now she clearly saw him smiling, the zithers matched so perfectly, why did he suddenly lose interest?

Seeing that Beigong Tengxiao had gone downstairs with her sleeves swung, she followed closely behind with her head down.

Xiang Yini quietly glanced at the window of Huafang opposite, and Beigong Tengxiao had already left.

She gritted her teeth tightly, with a faint smile on her face, and the melodious piano sound did not stop.

She is the Miss Xiang whom everyone is full of praise, she must be perfect, she must not give up her self-esteem and stop begging for forgiveness just because of Bei Gong Teng Xiao's mood.

The carriage slowly drove towards the palace. Sitting in the carriage, Chu Jiaoli took a peek at Beigong Tengxiao who was leisurely drinking tea, then lowered her head, and silently took off those ostentatious jewelry and stuffed them into her bosom.
