Chapter 259 Reward
Luo Qinghan asked, "Is this a new way of eating that you figured out?"
Xiao Xixi nodded vigorously: "Yes, yes, the meat roasted like this is delicious!"
Baoqin said while flipping the skewers methodically.
"There is a lot of oil smoke here. Please go to the side to rest first, Your Highness and Empress, and wait for the next servant to send the baked food to the two of you to enjoy."
Xiao Xixi smelled the aroma of the skewers, and was really greedy.
She stomped on the ground and ran to pick two cucumbers, intending to use this to satisfy her hunger first.
She washed the cucumber and gave one to the prince.
Luo Qinghan was looking at the two pigs in the pigsty, and his expression was indescribable.
He rejected the fresh cucumber that Xiao Xixi handed over.
"Don't eat this alone."
Xiao Xixi nibbled at the cucumbers, the freshly picked cucumbers were crisp and refreshing, especially appetizing.
The two big white pigs who were still dozing at first smelled the fragrance of cucumbers, and immediately stood up, straightened up, and lay on the fence of the pigsty, drooling at Xiao Xixi, and at the same time making a chirping sound.
Xiao Xixi broke the cucumber in half that the prince didn't eat, and fed it to two pigs.
When Luo Qinghan saw this scene, the corners of his brows couldn't help jumping.
He squeezed a word out of his teeth.
"You fed the cucumbers for Gu to the pigs?"
Xiao Xixi didn't think there was anything wrong with this, and she asked back, "Don't you want to eat it? If you don't want to eat it, then give it to the pigs."
Luo Qinghan felt that he was connoted.
He said gloomily: "Gu regrets it, Gu should not have promised you to raise pigs in the East Palace."
Xiao Xixi was afraid that he would let people snatch the two pigs away, so he hurriedly reassured: "Don't say that, Your Highness, the pork is so fragrant, you are still in the stage of growing your body, you can grow stronger by eating more meat. ~”
Luo Qinghan was not comforted, but even more angry.
"Are you disgusting that Gu is not strong enough?"
Xiao Xixi felt that this was a proposition, and no matter how she answered it, she might fall into the pit.
She decided to use the method of changing the topic.
"Your Highness, try this cucumber, it's sweet and crunchy, but delicious!"
She handed him the cucumber she had eaten with only half of it left.
Luo Qinghan: "..."
His handsome face was filled with rejection and disgust, but his body bent down involuntarily, opening his mouth and taking a bite of the cucumber.
Xiao Xixi asked with bright eyes, "Is it delicious?"
Luo Qinghan swallowed the cucumber and said disdainfully, "That's it."
Xiao Xixi took another bite of the cucumber where he had bitten, and said earnestly, "My concubine thinks it's delicious!"
Luo Qinghan stared at her lips that were moist and shiny because of the cucumber juice, and spoke for a long time.
"There is no food in this world that you don't find delicious."
Xiao Xixi is not ashamed but proud: "This shows that the concubine is not picky eaters."
"You're not a picky eater, but you eat too much food."
"So the concubine chose to be self-sufficient."
Xiao Xixi turned around in the backyard, stood in an open space, and announced with her waist tucked in.
"My concubine plans to build a grape trellis here. In summer, we can sit under the grape trellis at night and eat grapes while watching the stars. Thinking about it makes me feel good."
Following what she said, Luo Qinghan imagined the scene and thought it was pretty good.
He said: "The Western Regions will pay tribute to grapes every year, and I will share some with you later."
Xiao Xixi was suddenly overjoyed.
She bent down and picked a Chinese cabbage and sent it to the prince along with the soil.
"His Royal Highness, thank you for agreeing to concubine here to raise pigs and grow vegetables. Concubine has nothing else to give you, so I will give you this Chinese cabbage!"
Luo Qinghan: "..."
He blankly rejected her offer.
