Chapter 263

Concubine Bai smiled: "You really can be brave, it's this time, and you still pretend to be nothing."

Seeing that she didn't believe it, Xiao Xixi had no choice but to sigh.

"If you think that thinking like this will make you feel better, then you should think I'm trying to be brave."

Concubine Bai: "..."

She deliberately said those words to discourage Concubine Xiao.

Unexpectedly, this Concubine Xiao actually turned her into a nasty disgust.

She said with an ugly face: "Concubine Jing and Duan Liangdi are both women that the emperor personally pointed to His Highness the Prince. Their status in the East Palace is not ordinary. His Highness will definitely love them very much. How can you be so proud?!"

After speaking, she threw the silk handkerchief and turned away.

...

After Xiao Xixi returned to Qingge Hall, she asked the maids to take care of her to remove makeup and wash.

Usually when the maids served her, they would chat with her with a smile, but no one dared to speak tonight.

Everyone was careful, lest they say the wrong thing and offend Concubine Xiao.

Xiao Xixi yawned.

Seeing that she was sleepy, the maids quickened their movements, removed her hair bun, and brought hot water.

Xiao Xixi took a hot bath comfortably, then got into the bed and fell asleep.

Baoqin was originally worried that Concubine Xiao would not be able to sleep because she was too sad, but now it seems that she is thinking too much.

But this is also good, the heart is bigger, it will not be hurt.

Baoqin sighed silently, quietly exited the bedroom, and gently closed the door.

Xiao Xixi was sleeping soundly, but suddenly felt that she couldn't breathe.

She was woken up alive.

As soon as she opened her eyes, she saw that the prince was sitting on the edge of the bed, pinching her nose.

She quickly pushed the prince's hand away, sat up, and took a deep breath.

Luo Qinghan looked at her expressionlessly.

"Are you still able to sleep?"

After the breathing returned to a steady state, Xiao Xixi said, "The concubine is neither sick nor ill, why can't I fall asleep?"

Luo Qinghan laughed at himself after hearing this.

"That's right, you don't care about the loneliness at all. You don't care about the loneliness. You can naturally sleep."

Xiao Xixi noticed that his emotions were not right.

She leaned over and stared at the prince's handsome face.

"Your Highness, who offended you again?"

Luo Qinghan pushed her away, got up and walked out.

Today is the first day of Concubine Jing and Duan Liangdi entering the palace. It stands to reason that he should be by their side, but as soon as he sees them, he will think of what his father said.

He didn't even want to touch them.

He quietly left Linde Hall alone, facing the vast darkness, not knowing where to go, and finally he could only follow his heart and came to Qingge Hall.

He thought that Xiao Xixi would understand him, but he didn't expect that she would sleep like a pig, and he didn't take Concubine Jing and Duan Liangdi to heart at all.

He's being self-indulgent again.

Luo Qinghan just took a step out when he found that his sleeve was being grabbed by someone.

Looking down, he found that Xiao Xixi was holding him.

Xiao Xixi looked up at him: "Do you want some supper, Your Highness?"

Luo Qing said coldly: "I'm not hungry."

"It doesn't matter if you're not hungry, just eat two bites."

Xiao Xixi loosened his sleeves, then got up in a hurry, grabbed his jacket and draped it over his body.

She put on her shoes and pulled the prince out.

The palace maid and eunuch in charge of the night had been awakened, but none of them dared to say a word. When they saw the prince and Concubine Xiao come out, they hurriedly knelt down and saluted.

Xiao Xixi asked the prince to go to the backyard first, while she went into the small kitchen.

She rolled up her sleeves, pulled out a piece of lotus root from the small kitchen, cut the lotus root into slices, mixed with sugar, patted a plate of cucumbers, and then fished out two chicken legs and two chicken wings from the pot filled with lo mei.

After hesitating, she still opened the wine jar and scooped out a pot of sweet-scented osmanthus.

She carried the food into the backyard.

At this time, the chickens, ducks, pigs, and geese were all asleep, and the yard was very quiet. Occasionally, the slight sound of the night wind blowing the vegetables could be heard.

Luo Qinghan stood beside the pigsty, looking at the two big fat pigs in a trance.

Xiao Xixi put the food on the low table under the corridor and called the prince to come and sit.

Luo Qinghan walked down the porch, sat down cross-legged, and asked casually, "Is the sow you raised pregnant?"

Xiao Xixi was surprised: "How did Your Highness see it?"

"The sow's belly is a little bigger."

"His Royal Highness observed it very carefully."

There was a low table between the two of them, and some simple wine and dishes were placed on the table.

Xiao Xixi picked up the wine glass: "Concubine body toast to you!"

"Gu thought you would take the opportunity to congratulate Gu Xi's beauty."

Xiao Xixi blinked: "If you need congratulations from your concubine, it is not impossible for your concubine to satisfy your wishes. Congrats to you on your beautiful wedding..."

Luo Qing coldly interrupted her: "Shut up."

Xiao Xixi obediently shut up.

Luo Qinghan glanced at the wine in the glass, the wine turned slightly yellow, and there was a faint scent of sweet-scented osmanthus.

A bright moon, the two drink to each other.

The taste of sweet-scented osmanthus is a bit sweet, and it doesn't taste like alcohol.

Xiao Xixi drank with side dishes, Luo Qinghan simply didn't eat a single bite of the vegetables, drinking one cup after another.

Soon the jug of wine was gone.

Xiao Xixi's cheeks flushed slightly, looking a little drunk.

Luo Qinghan was still expressionless, as if this little wine was nothing to him.

But what he said was shocking.

"Sometimes Gu feels that he is no different from these pigs."

Xiao Xixi blinked the misty apricot eyes, wondering why the prince started talking nonsense? Are you drunk?

If it was normal, Luo Qinghan would definitely not say such words, but he was so uncomfortable today, and with the effect of alcohol, he couldn't help but spit out the words that were in his heart.

"They let the orphan marry someone, and the orphan has to marry someone. They let the orphan have children, and the orphan has to have children."

"You raise pigs to eat meat, they raise orphans to gain power, aren't they all to satisfy their own selfish desires? What's the difference?"

Xiao Xixi said dryly: "Listening to what you said, I won't dare to kill pigs and eat meat after my concubine."

Luo Qinghan smiled: "It's okay to kill, die happily, so you don't have to live and suffer."

Xiao Xixi's heart skipped a beat when she heard it, feeling that she was half awake.

"Your Highness won't think about it, will you?"

Luo Qinghan did not answer.

His silent attitude made Xiao Xixi even more nervous.

She tried hard to persuade: "His Royal Highness, why don't you think about it from a different angle? Although Concubine Jing and Duan Liangdi were forcibly put on you, they are young and beautiful. You should be happy to get such two beauties for nothing. You don't know how many men out there can't even get a wife. If they can marry a beautiful wife like Concubine Jing or Duan Liangdi, they will definitely be happy to go around in circles. ."
