Chapter 268 It's Really Ridiculous

This is also the reason why Xiao Xixi refused to cooperate with Concubine Jing Side and Duan Liangdi to perform the show.

No matter what kind of tune or dance, as long as it is accompanied by a suona, the style of painting will slide into an unpredictable abyss.

Xiao Xixi is a conscientious person, and she doesn't want to screw up the programs carefully prepared by Concubine Jing and Duan Liangdi.

Xiao Xixi shook her head: "Forget it."

Seeing that she was unwilling, Baoqin was a little anxious: "Niang Niang, although you are very favored by the prince now, you can't take it lightly! The three new concubines who have entered the palace are not simple people, and they will definitely try their best to hold the Mid-Autumn Festival family banquet. If they are really favored by the prince, what will you do, madam?"

Xiao Xixi was very calm: "I didn't gain the prince's favor by selling my looks. I depended on my ability to eat. As long as I was useful to the prince, the prince would not neglect me."

Baoqin ruthlessly exposes her true purpose.

"It's so high-sounding, you're just too lazy to move."

Xiao Xixi drank the milk tea for a while and said with a smile: "I'm going to save face if I see it through."

Baoqin had no choice but to sigh helplessly.

...

Qin Xiya went to greet Empress Qin early this morning.

Since she entered the palace, she would go to Jiaofangdian every morning to greet the queen.

Queen Qin asked her to sit down and talk.

Qin Xiya knelt down on the soft cushion gracefully.

Pearl offered refreshments, then silently stepped aside.

Empress Qin asked, "You have been in the palace for seven days. How is the Crown Prince treating you?"

Speaking of this, the smile on Qin Xiya's face paused slightly, and then she pretended to be nothing and said with a smile: "The prince is very good to his concubine."

How shrewd is Empress Qin? It was obvious at a glance that she was insincere.

"What Ben Gong asks you, you just tell the truth."

The smile on Qin Xiya's face gradually turned bitter, she lowered her head, looked at her sleeves, and said softly after a while.

"The prince doesn't seem to like concubine very much."

Empress Qin: "How can I see it?"

"Sometimes the concubine would go to deliver soup or cakes to the prince, and he would accept it, but he never gave any indication."

Empress Qin: "The prince's temperament has always been cold. He treats everyone like this. You can get used to it."

Qin Xiya pursed her red lips, and her voice was a little difficult: "If it's just like that, it's fine. It's been seven days since the concubine entered the palace, but the prince has never summoned the concubine to serve in the bed."

Empress Qin's expression changed a little: "Is this true?"

Qin Xiya raised her head with a bitter and helpless smile: "This matter is not a secret in the East Palace, there is no need for my concubine to deceive you about this kind of thing."

Empress Qin thought for a while and then asked, "Who has the prince spent the most nights with recently? Is it Concubine Jing side? Or is it Duan Liangdi?"

"None of them. His Royal Highness has been busy with government affairs recently. He has been staying in the Linde Hall every day. He has not called fortunate concubines and concubines in recent days."

Hearing this, Empress Qin felt a little relieved: "It seems that the prince has been too busy recently and has no time to summon you. Go back to Ben Gong to help you and talk to the prince. Don't think wildly, depending on your appearance and background, the prince will not Maybe I don't like you."

Qin Xiya showed a grateful smile: "Thank you auntie."

this afternoon.

Queen Qin called the prince to Jiaofangdian and asked him what he was doing recently.

Luo Qinghan replied respectfully: "There have been a lot of cases in the punishment department recently, and Erchen is busy with those files."

Empress Qin said: "No matter how busy you are, you shouldn't forget the concubines in the harem, and occasionally you should take time to see them. You are eighteen, but you don't have a single child under your knees. It's a shame to spread it out."

Luo Qinghan: "My son obeys the order."

He promised well, and after returning to the East Palace, he plunged into the Mingguang Palace and continued to handle his official business.

It was busy until midnight.

Eunuch Chang asked carefully: "Is Your Highness still staying in Linde Hall tonight?"

Luo Qinghan thought for a while: "Go to Xiyun Palace."

"Here."

It was very late at this time, but when the prince's car arrived at Xiyun Palace, Xiyun Palace was still bright, and the people inside must not have slept.

Knowing that the prince was coming, Qin Xiya took a group of palace maids and eunuchs out to greet him.

"My concubine pays homage to His Royal Highness."

Luo Qinghan said no courtesy, and then walked straight into the house.

As soon as he entered the door, he smelled a faint scent of incense.

Luo Qinghan didn't like to use incense, he frowned slightly, and instinctively rejected this place.

But thinking of what his mother said, he still sat down patiently.

Qin Xiya was wearing a pink and white tube top dress with a light plain snow gauze on the outside, and her long black hair was scattered behind her. Although she was not wearing makeup on her face, because she was born very beautiful, looking at her like this not only It is not dull, on the contrary, there is a kind of beauty and beauty of hibiscus in clear water.

She asked softly, "Your Highness should have just finished his business, right? Do you want to use some supper?"

Luo Qinghan said lightly: "No need, I'm not hungry."

Qin Xiya said shyly, "Then the concubine will let someone prepare hot water and wait for His Highness to take a bath."

"You don't have to be busy, Gu won't stay with you tonight."

Hearing this, Qin Xiya's body froze, the shyness on her face faded, and she became a little pale and helpless.

It made her look even more pitiful.

She shook her red lips and asked softly, "Does Your Highness just dislike concubines so much?"

Luo Qinghan didn't answer and asked, "Why does Gu have to like you?"

Qin Xiya was stopped.

After a while, she said, "Since Your Highness doesn't like concubines, why do you want to marry concubines?"

Luo Qinghan sneered: "This question should be asked of your family. They know that they don't like you, why do they want to marry you into the East Palace?"

Qin Xiya pursed her lips and did not answer.

Luo Qinghan said to himself: "Because they are interested in Gu's identity, they want to use you to tie Gu firmly to the big boat of the Qin family. This is a political transaction, what do you like? I don't like it, it's ridiculous."

Qin Xiya naturally knew why she was married into the East Palace, but knowing it was one thing, and being exposed in person was another.

She couldn't help clenching the silk handkerchief in her hand, and an emotion called embarrassment spread in her heart.

She asked with difficulty: "Your Highness came late at night just to say these words?"

"It was you who first disclosed the matter of the East Palace to the Queen Mother, and the Queen Mother personally inquired about it. She asked the Gu to take time to see you, and the Gu will come to see you, so that I can communicate with the Queen."

Luo Qinghan stood up.

"Gu has already seen you, and the task assigned by the mother and queen is completed. Gu will leave first, and you can rest. If you are really idle and bored, go and copy the scriptures, and don't always run to the Jiaofang Palace."

After saying that, he stepped out.

Looking at his tall and straight back, Qin Xiya couldn't help asking in a trembling voice.

"Your Highness, don't you think this is unfair to your concubine?"
