Chapter 422
Luo Qinghan faced the table full of delicacies, but he had no appetite.
After taking two bites of rice casually, he put down his chopsticks and didn't want to eat any more.
Seeing this, Eunuch Chang couldn't help but persuade: "Your Highness, please eat more."
Luo Qinghan said indifferently: "Remove these, and let the royal chef make less meals in the future. There is only one person and can't eat so many dishes."
Eunuch Chang had no choice but to have the meals removed from the table.
After bathing, Luo Qinghan lay alone on the large couch.
This couch was much smaller than the couch in Linde Hall, but it was still too large for the prince who was alone.
He couldn't help but look around.
It was empty and there was nothing.
During this time, he slept with Xiao Xixi every night, and he was already used to her existence, but now he suddenly changed back to sleeping alone, and he couldn't help feeling a little lonely.
He comforted himself in his heart, which was fine.
He is now the target of public criticism, and many people are trying to deal with him. If Xiao Xixi gets too close, maybe he will be implicated by him.
Now that she's farther away, it's safer for her.
next morning.
Xiao Xixi was woken up by the palace maid.
She struggled to get out of the warm bed with great difficulty.
The maids quickly helped her get dressed.
When Xiao Xixi came out of the house after having breakfast, he found that the prince and the eldest prince were already sitting in their carriages.
Xiao Xixi originally wanted to sit in the prince's carriage as before, but was stopped by Eunuch Chang.
"Niangniang, your carriage is at the back."
Xiao Xixi was puzzled: "Didn't I take a car with the prince?"
Eunuch Chang explained in a low voice: "Your Highness is in a bad mood today and wants to be alone, please forgive me."
After he finished speaking, he bowed his hands to Concubine Xiao.
Xiao Xixi could only go to the carriage behind.
This scene fell into Xiao Lingfeng's eyes, and he couldn't help but be a little worried. Along the way, he deeply realized the prince's love for Concubine Xiao, and the prince would take Concubine Xiao with him wherever he went, even when he went out. The fugitive prince took good care of Concubine Xiao, and did not let her suffer at all.
But now the prince has to ride the carriage separately from Concubine Xiao.
On its own, this is actually nothing, but if it is connected with the matter of Concubine Xiao and the prince living in separate rooms last night, it will be very bad.
Could it be that Concubine Xiao did something that made the prince unhappy and annoyed her?
This will not work!
Xiao Lingfeng couldn't let such a thing happen.
After the convoy restarted, Xiao Lingfeng deliberately rode to the side of Concubine Xiao's carriage.
He raised his hand and knocked on the carriage window.
"The side concubine."
At this moment, Xiao Xixi was sleeping in the cage. She slept so soundly that she didn't hear the sound from outside the car at all.
Xiao Lingfeng waited for a while and saw that no one in the car took care of him, so he had to call Concubine Xiao twice, but still got no response.
He couldn't help frowning.
Could it be that Concubine Xiao was too sad and fainted because she fell out of favor?
Xiao Lingfeng raised his hand and pulled the curtains of the car upwards. He looked in through the car window and saw Xiao Xixi who was sleeping soundly in the car. He couldn't help being stunned.
Where is Concubine Xiao so sad? It's just heartless!
Xiao Lingfeng was really speechless.
He cleared his throat and shouted again, "Concubine Xiao!"
This time Xiao Xixi finally gave some reaction.
She rolled over, faced him with the back of her head, and went back to sleep.
Xiao Lingfeng: "..."
The carriage was still running, and he couldn't get into the carriage to wake people up, so he could only lower the curtains of the carriage and continue riding on the road worriedly.
It was not until noon, when the convoy stopped to rest, that Xiao Lingfeng found an opportunity to approach Concubine Xiao.
Xiao Xixi just woke up, she jumped out of the carriage and stretched, just in time to see the prince coming out of the carriage in front.
She wanted to chat with the prince, but before she could step out, she was stopped by Xiao Lingfeng.
"Concubine Side, can you take a step to speak?"
Xiao Xixi stood still: "If you have anything to say, just say it here."
Xiao Lingfeng looked around and found that there were no other people nearby except for a few Yulin Guards who were standing guard.
He lowered his voice and asked, "Did the niangniang make the prince angry?"
Xiao Xixi thought about it seriously, the prince seemed to be in a bad mood, but it had nothing to do with her.
She did not provoke the prince again.
Seriously, it was the prince who lied to her first, and she was the one who should be angry.
Now it's the other way around. People who should be angry are not angry, and people who shouldn't be angry are unhappy.
Xiao Lingfeng: "Since the empress did not provoke the prince, why did the prince neglect you?"
Xiao Xixi: "I don't know either."
She was telling the truth, she really didn't know why the prince suddenly distanced himself from her.
She originally wanted to chat with the prince face to face and ask him exactly what he was thinking, but as soon as she got off the carriage, she was stopped by Xiao Lingfeng, so naturally she didn't ask if she wanted to ask.
Xiao Lingfeng frowned: "You serve the prince day and night, how can you not even know why the prince is angry?"
Xiao Xixi felt inexplicable: "I'm not a roundworm in his stomach, how could I know what he was thinking?!"
Xiao Lingfeng said patiently: "Although we have had some unpleasant experiences before, I am your father after all, and I and you are on the same boat, you don't have to worry that I will tell you about the matter between you and the prince, you If you have any questions, you can tell me, and I will try my best to help you."
Xiao Xixi tilted her head and looked at him: "Did you misunderstand something? I'm telling the truth, I didn't lie to you."
Xiao Lingfeng felt a little irritable in his heart.
He didn't expect that Xiao Xixi looked cute and cute, but she was so stubborn.
He has already made it so clear, why is she still refusing to tell the truth?
Does she really think that by herself, she can gain a firm foothold in the palace that eats people without spitting bones?
Xiao Lingfeng emphasized his tone: "You are from the Xiao family, even if you marry into the East Palace, your surname is still Xiao, we are from the same camp, if you can't even believe me, how can you still be in the palace in the future? foothold?
You've been living in the palace for a year, so you can't naively think that just relying on the prince's favor will give you peace of mind?
The battles in the harem have always been closely related to the court. If you want to make your life more stable in the future, you must always control the changes of the court, and our Xiao family is your most reliable helper.
Those things that you are inconvenient to do but have to do can be handed over to the people of our Xiao family to do.
Please take a long-term view and stop sticking to the grudges of the past, okay? "
First Prince: In the future, I must marry a daughter-in-law with a high value of force!
...
Years later.
The eldest prince covered his swollen face from his wife's beating, and shed tears of remorse.
