Chapter 73 The Visitor Arrives
"What's the matter with me?" Wen Ruyu muttered, "I can't afford to offend Senior Brother, if one day I'm useless, wouldn't my head fall as well?"

Wen Liangren sighed lightly, and said: "Forget it, the emperor's health has improved a lot recently, and I won't be able to die for a while, so you have to take it easy when you take the medicine."

Wen Ruyu slightly raised the corners of her lips, and said, "I have my own measure."

Wen Liangren glanced at the jade cicada pendant hanging on his chest, raised his pretty eyebrows lightly, raised his hand to hold the jade cicada in front of his eyes, and said, "Isn't this belonging to Concubine Ling? How could you have it?" ?”

Wen Ruyu smiled faintly, and said: "After several twists and turns, it fell into my hands, and it's just a reward for buying and selling."

Wen Liangren thought about it carefully, on the day Concubine Ling Gui died, there was only one person he had contact with who was close to Concubine Ling Gui.

She narrowed her eyes slightly and said, "Did Chu Jiaoli give it to you?"

Wen Ruyu paused slightly, and said, "How do you know?"

Hearing this, Wen Liangren frowned, raised his hand and tapped the center of his brow, and said: "The emperor and the crown prince fought over that woman, so don't wade into this muddy water."

Wen Ruyu coughed lightly, and said, "Why am I wading in muddy water? She is Xing'er's younger sister, don't talk nonsense to Xing'er."

Wen Liangren sighed lightly: "Where can I get out of this deep palace? If you really like Xing'er, you should hurry up and ask your senior brother to propose marriage. You always look so coy, how could Xing'er know that you have her in your heart? "

"Okay, okay, I'll tell." Wen Ruyu raised her hand and rubbed the center of her brows, prevaricating.

"By the way, the emperor's birthday is coming soon. Recently, the emperor has used you a lot, so you should prepare more birthday gifts."

"understood."

The next day, the Prince's Mansion.

Since the addition of a swing under the tree in front of the Biluo Palace, the Prince's Mansion has another eye-catching scene.

The beauty in Tsing Yi is sitting on the swing, the sun shines on her handsome face through the layers of branches, the sparkling peach blossom eyes are half-opened lazily, she raises her hand to hold the elegant white jade xun, and plays a soothing tune on her lips , beautiful and picturesque.

A servant girl slowed down her pace, walked up to her quietly, and said softly, "Master Jiao Li, Miss Xiang, please see me."

Chu Jiaoli stopped the song slowly, and said calmly: "Your Highness hasn't come down yet, let her come back later."

The servant girl lowered her head and said, "Master Jiaoli, Miss Xiang said that she is here to look for you."

Hearing this, Chu Jiao raised her eyebrows lightly and said, "Then let her in."

"Yes."

In the elegant courtyard, as the tea from the teapot is slowly poured into the cup, a cup of Longjing with the fragrance of tea is refreshing.

Chu Jiaoli personally poured tea for the woman in pink sitting beside her, showing a polite smile, and said, "Miss Xiang, please have some tea."

Xiang Yini smiled just right, and said: "It's just you and me here, there's no need to be formal, just sit down with me."

Hearing this, Chu Jiaoli lightly responded and sat down.

Xiang Yini took out an exquisite brocade box from her sleeve, put it gently in front of Chu Jiaoli, and said, "A small gift is not a respect."

Chu Jiaoli paused for a moment, then said, "Miss Xiang, what does this mean?"

Xiang Yini lowered her head in a little embarrassment, and said: "It was too rude to leave in a hurry before. I definitely didn't have any opinion about you or Your Highness that you cared about. I went to the jewelry store to pick out a beautiful waist pendant. As an apology, I hope you will forgive me."

Chu Jiaoli opened the brocade box politely and took a look, inside was a delicate purple jade waist pendant.

She smiled lightly and said: "It should be the servant who apologized. That day, the servant bumped into Miss Xiang first, so I should ask the servant to take the blame. How can I bother Miss Xiang to come to visit in person and give such an expensive gift to the servant... ..."

"It doesn't matter." Xiang Yini smiled lightly, took her hand tenderly, and said, "I don't mind about it."

Hearing this, Chu Jiaoli's smile froze slightly, her expression paused for a while, then she lowered her head and said, "Miss Xiang really has an extraordinary bearing."

Xiang Yini's voice was soft, and she said: "I dare not be arrogant, but my temper is by no means as bad as you imagined. If you become His Highness's concubine in the future, we will be good sisters. You can treat me as a relative." If you treat me like a sister, you don’t need to be afraid of me, the concubine.”

Chu Jiaoli gritted her teeth secretly. This is not an apology, it is clearly a declaration of sovereignty...

She still had a polite smile on her face, and said: "Miss Xiang, this servant is just an ordinary maid, she is definitely not worthy of His Highness, and naturally she is not worthy of being a good sister with you."

Xiang Yini smiled and said: "You must not underestimate yourself, there is always a contingency in everything, I very much hope that His Highness can accept you, if there is such a day, it will be your blessing."

Chu Jiaoli breathed out lightly, and said, "That's it, thank Miss Xiang for your kind words."

Xiang Yini held her hand tightly, and said: "Then you have to promise me that we will live in harmony from now on, and we are not allowed to intrigue like concubines in the harem."

"Hmm..." Chu Jiaoli responded softly.

After chatting for a few more words, Xiang Yini left before Beigong ascended to the sky.

Chu Jiaoli returned to the room with the brocade box, put it on the table, then turned around and walked to the sink, soaking her hands in cool water.

Thinking of her lovingly holding her hand just now, Chu Jiaoli frowned slightly and rubbed her hands several times.

She was extremely disgusted with her touch, even if it was only for a moment, it could remind her of the unhappiness in the past.

She bit her lip, and for a long time, looked at the wrinkled fingers in the water, and sighed softly.

In recent days, she seems to have forgotten about Xiang Yini.

The dream-like beauty disappeared the moment Xiang Yini stepped into the Prince's Mansion today.

Before she got through the door, she had already assumed the airs of a concubine, as if she had gradually intertwined and overlapped with the development of the previous life.

She thought about Beigong Tengxiao's attitude towards Xiang Yini in this life, and suddenly she was dazed for a moment.

"You...will you really marry Xiang Yini..." She whispered, a trace of loneliness flashed in her eyes.

"of course not."

Hearing the familiar voice behind her, Chu Jiaoli was startled, and immediately raised her hand to wipe the clean cloth hanging on the sink, then turned around and saluted Beigong Tengxiao: "Your Highness."

Beigong Tengxiao slightly raised his eyebrows, and said, "Didn't I say that you can't let people in without my permission?"

Chu Jiaoli pursed her lips, and said: "Miss Xiang came to look for my servant. The servant said that His Highness will be back soon, but Miss Xiang said that she has something to do, so she didn't see His Highness."

Beigong Tengxiao walked to the table, his eyes fixed on the brocade box on the table.

He opened the brocade box, took out the purple jade waist pendant inside, looked at it, and said with a smile: "It's a good thing."

Chu Jiaoli slowly lowered her head, feeling a little panicked in her heart.

"Pa!", clear and resounding, Chu Jiaoli was startled suddenly, and saw the purple jade waist pendant on the ground that had been shattered badly.

She couldn't help but frowned in surprise, and said, "Your Highness, you..."
