Chapter 456: Cherry

Luo Yechen was dissatisfied: "It's just such a little thing, is it worth you to call me here on purpose?"

Luo Qinghan: "I have something else to tell you."

"What's the matter?"

"Concubine Xiao and Fang Guanshi are old acquaintances. I hope you can help keep it a secret and don't say it."

Luo Yechen sneered: "Why should I help you keep it a secret?"

Luo Qinghan: "Do you remember how embarrassed you were when you were drunk yesterday? If you don't want everyone to know that you were crying because of a woman, please keep your mouth shut and don't talk nonsense about what you shouldn't say. ."

Luo Yechen's face immediately flushed red.

"You threaten me again!"

Luo Qinghan: "To be precise, it is an equal exchange. After all, Gu helped you recognize Xie Chuxue's true face. If Gu and Concubine Xiao came forward to remind you, I'm afraid you are still being played with applause by others. ."

Although the fact is true, it is very difficult to accept that he said it so loudly.

Luo Yechen shouted angrily: "I was only temporarily blinded by her, so I wasn't played with applause!"

Luo Qinghan was too lazy to talk to him, and said lightly, "You can go."

Luo Yechen was very annoyed by the prince's attitude, but he didn't dare to quarrel with the prince, after all, the prince was still holding his handle.

In the end, he could only grab the list and leave Mingguang Palace angrily.

...

Today Yao Zhaoxun came to chat with Concubine Xiao again for gossip.

Unexpectedly, just as she sat down, she was pulled by Concubine Xiao to play mahjong.

Yao Zhaoxun looked at the mahjong in front of him with a confused expression.

"I-I won't play this."

Xiao Xixi said while playing mahjong: "This is very simple, I will ask you to play two games, you will know how to play."

In addition to the two of them, there were two little palace maids to accompany the table.

Yao Zhaoxun originally only had the idea of ​​playing two games with Concubine Xiao, but who knew that the more she played, the more addicted she became, and even the thoughts of gossip were temporarily forgotten.

Because there is no money to play, everyone can play very easily and there is no pressure.

But in the blink of an eye, it was already noon.

Baoqin came to remind that it was time for lunch.

Yao Zhaoxun quickly got up and bid farewell.

Xiao Xixi did not hold back.

Yao Zhaoxun has never played this kind of thing before, and today's experience seems to have opened the door to a new world for her, making her deeply appreciate the fun in this world other than gossip.

But she doesn't have mahjong in her hand, so if she wants to play, she can only come to Concubine Xiao.

Before she left, she couldn't help but ask, "Sister, can I still come and play with you tomorrow?"

When she asked this, her face was full of flattery, for fear that the other party would not agree.

Xiao Xixi readily responded: "Okay, let's play again tomorrow."

Yao Zhaoxun was overjoyed and walked out briskly.

After leaving Qingge Hall, she remembered that she had come to gossip about Concubine Xiao.

But it doesn't matter, she can still come tomorrow anyway, and she can gossip while playing mahjong.

After playing mahjong all morning, in the afternoon, Xiao Xixi's spirit was a little weak.

She slept in the house all afternoon.

When she woke up, it was already evening, and it was raining lightly outside.

The rain fell on the banana leaves, making a crackling sound.

Baoqin pushed open the door and walked in, waiting for her to change while talking.

"The Crown Prince sent a message just now, saying that he has something to do tonight, so he won't come to our Qingge Hall, and he also sent a basket of cherries."

Xiao Xixi was still yawning, but when she heard the word "cherry", she instantly became refreshed.

She couldn't wait to run to see the cherries.

There are two cherry trees planted in the Linde Hall, which bear a lot of fruit every year. Last year, Luo Qinghan specially asked people to pick some cherries of good quality and sent them to the Queen Qin and the Empress Dowager to taste.

This year is different.

He first asked people to pick out the best part of the cherries and put them in two baskets, one of which was sent to Qingge Palace and the other to Changle Palace.

Then select a part of the remaining cherries and send them to Jiaofangdian.

Queen Qin doesn't have a heavy appetite, so she doesn't care about what she eats. In previous years, the cherries sent by Luo Qinghan were piled in the corner and rotted.

This year is no exception.

After Empress Qin received the cherries, she just glanced at them lightly and let them take them away.

Pearl tried to ask: "The servant will wash a plate of cherries for you to taste? This is also the prince's wish."

Empress Qin said indifferently: "No need."

As the direct daughter of the Qin family, she has been eating fine clothes and jade since she was a child. Later, she married into the palace and became an empress. What good food has she not eaten? How can you put so many cherries in your heart?

Pearl said again: "These cherries won't last for too long, why don't the slaves let them boil them into cherry jam? This way, they can last longer."

Queen Qin: "As you like."

Seeing that she really didn't care, Pearl could only shut her mouth silently and said no more.

In Changle Palace.

The queen mother was quite happy when she received the cherries sent by the prince's order, and said to the female official beside her with a smile.

"The prince doesn't like to talk, but he's actually very filial. He never forgets to send cherries to Ai's family every year."

Although things are ordinary, they are better than this heart.

The female official replied: "His Royal Highness is indeed very filial, but if there is something good, I will send it to you as soon as possible. Look at these cherries, they are carefully selected, they are red and bright, and they are delightful! "

Fresh fruits can't be kept for too long, and the queen mother must not be able to eat so much. She kept a small part for herself, and the rest was rewarded to the person below.

In Qingge Hall.

After Xiao Xixi had dinner, holding a big bowl, she started to eat cherries happily.

The big, red cherries were so sweet in her mouth that she couldn't stop eating them. One by one, a large bowl of cherries quickly ate her.

She said she wanted another bowl.

Baoqin advised: "It's getting late, you should rest, you won't be able to sleep at night if you eat too much."

Xiao Xixi: "No, no matter how much I eat, it will definitely not affect my sleep. Good Baoqin, let's have another bowl, please~"

She couldn't be obsessed with Baoqin's arm.

Baoqin really couldn't resist, so she had no choice but to compromise, and washed her a big bowl of cherries.

After Xiao Xixi finished eating the second bowl of cherries, she went to sleep at Baoqin's urging.

Early the next morning, Yao Zhaoxun went out happily, planning to go to Qingge Palace to play mahjong with Concubine Xiao, but never thought that he would meet Concubine Li on the way.

Yao Zhaoxun blessed his body: "Pray for my sister."

Concubine Li Side has been in a panic recently.

In order to finish copying the scriptures 300 times before, Concubine Li worked day and night with her homework and almost broke her right arm.

Now that she finally doesn't need to copy the scriptures, she is suddenly free, and she is still a little uncomfortable. Every day, she always feels that there is something she has not done. After thinking about it carefully, she quickly thought of copying the scriptures...

Suddenly her right arm began to ache again.
