Chapter 506: Kneeling Punishment

Xiao Xixi was dreaming that she was eating ice cream, and there was a table full of ice cream of various flavors.

She was enjoying her meal when she suddenly heard someone calling her name.

Xiao Xixi immediately woke up from the dream.

When I opened my eyes, the ice cream was gone.

There was only a stern-faced man in front of her at this time.

Xiao Xixi was stunned: "His Royal Highness!"

She quickly stood up against the wall and greeted the prince.

Because she had just woken up, her mind was not very clear, and her salute was somewhat clumsy, making her look even more stupid.

Luo Qinghan looked at her deeply and asked in a low voice, "Why are you here?"

"Didn't you have someone send a basket of mulberries to your concubine before? My concubine ate some, and Baoqin made the rest into a jam. This jam is delicious. It can be eaten with double-skin milk and can also Put it in the milk tea to taste, and the concubine thinks it tastes very good, so I specially brought you a can."

As she spoke, she raised the clay pot in her hand as if offering a treasure.

Luo Qinghan took the pot and handed it to Eunuch Chang who followed behind.

Luo Qinghan took Xiao Xixi's hand and found that her fingers were a little cold. He asked, "Have you been waiting here for a long time?"

"My concubine came to see you after dinner, but unfortunately you weren't here. Mo Hua said that you went out to do errands and didn't know when you would be back. My concubine had to wait for you here for almost two hours!"

Luo Qinghan smiled but didn't: "Wait until you fell asleep?"

Xiao Xixi didn't look embarrassed at all, and admitted it frankly.

"Waiting for others is really boring, and the concubine fell asleep accidentally."

Luo Qinghan took her hand and walked inside, saying as he walked, "You should stay in the house, it's too cold outside."

Xiao Xixi: "It's okay, the concubine feels that it's cool outside."

"Why are you alone outside the door and Baoqin is not with you?"

"She was still there just now, saying that she was afraid that her concubine would catch cold, so she went into the house to get a blanket."

As soon as Xiao Xixi finished speaking, Baoqin hurried out, holding a blanket in her arms.

She was surprised to see the prince and concubine Xiao coming together, and she quickly stopped to greet the prince.

Luo Qinghan said lightly: "Don't let Concubine Xiao stay outside alone in the future."

Although there are guards guarding the entrance of Linde Hall, in theory nothing should happen, but what if? There are too many dangers in this palace, and it is easy to fall into the pit if you are not careful.

Baoqin hurriedly knelt down and admitted her mistake: "It's the servant who was negligent, the servant should die."

Luo Qinghan: "It's an unintentional act to miss you, and the time spent kneeling down for a stick of incense is fine."

Xiao Xixi wanted to plead for Baoqin, but before the words were out, Baoqin had already spoken.

"Thank you, Your Highness, for your kindness!"

Luo Qinghan led Xiao Xixi away.

Xiao Xixi couldn't help but look back, she saw Baoqin winking, signaling her not to beg the prince.

Just kneeling for a stick of incense is nothing at all.

It's more like a reminder.

The prince reminded Baoqin to be more careful after doing things.

At the same time, the prince is also telling others that he values ​​Concubine Xiao very much, and that anything about Concubine Xiao cannot be tolerated at all.

Baoqin knew this very well and knelt down willingly.

Xiao Xixi followed the prince into the bedroom.

When no one was around, Xiao Xixi couldn't help but begged for mercy.

"Your Highness, can you spare Baoqin?"

Luo Qinghan didn't answer, but stretched out his arms: "Serving Gu, bathing and changing clothes."

Xiao Xixi stepped forward to help him undress and untie, still whispering: "My concubine is already an adult, I don't need Baoqin to stare at it all the time."

Luo Qinghan looked down at her and remained silent.

Clothes were stripped off one by one.

When only the last pair of pants was left, Luo Qinghan held her hand and whispered, "Okay, you can go out."

Xiao Xixi was still thinking about going to see Baoqin, so she nodded: "Then the concubine said goodbye."

After taking her out, Luo Qinghan took off his pants, revealing large bruises on his knees and calves.

This is the injury he just knelt out in the side hall of Weiyang Palace.

He endured the pain and sat down in the tub, closed his eyes, and let out a long breath.

Xiao Xixi went to Baoqin.

Baoqin was startled: "Aren't you serving the prince? Why did you run out?"

Xiao Xixi: "I'm worried about you."

"The slave is fine. The time for a stick of incense will soon pass. You should go back quickly. If the prince finds out that you came to find the slave, the slave may be punished more severely."

Seeing that she looked in good spirits, Xiao Xixi felt a little relieved.

"Then I'll go back first."

Baoqin urged: "You go quickly."

Xiao Xixi returned to the door of the dormitory, and saw that Eunuch Chang was still waiting outside the door, she asked, "Has your Highness finished bathing yet?"

Eunuch Chang nodded and said yes.

Xiao Xixi planned to wait outside and go in after the prince bathed.

Eunuch Chang looked at the closed door and said in a low voice.

"Your Highness may be in a bad mood tonight."

Xiao Xixi was surprised: "What's wrong, Your Highness?"

Regarding the matter between the prince and the emperor, Eunuch Chang, as a slave, is not allowed to talk too much, he said vaguely.

"His Royal Highness has been very busy in the past few days, and encountered a lot of bad things. His Highness has always liked you very much. If you help to persuade him, maybe it will make His Highness feel better."

Xiao Xixi seems to understand but not understand: "Oh."

The prince's voice came from the room.

"Changxi."

Eunuch Chang quickly responded: "Here!"

He walked in with a few little eunuchs, took out the used bath soup and poured it out, and wiped off the water stains on the floor.

When Xiao Xixi walked into the room, she saw that the prince had already put on his pajamas and was sitting on the edge of the couch wiping the sword.

The sword in his hand is the annihilation of the emperor's reward.

His expression was very focused, holding the cloth with his fingers, wiping the blade again and again.

His dark pupils were reflected on the sharp sword.

Eunuch Chang retreated with the little eunuchs.

Only Xiao Xixi and the prince were left in the house.

The prince noticed Xiao Xixi who was standing not far away. He put down his sword and asked, "What are you standing there for? Come here."

Xiao Xixi walked over, sat down beside him, his eyes fell on the sword in his hand, and asked tentatively.

"Does Your Highness like this sword?"

Luo Qinghan said lightly: "It's okay."

Xiao Xixi: "Looking at your appearance, you should cherish this sword very much."

Luo Qinghan: "What Gu cherishes is not this sword, but the meaning of this sword."

Xiao Xixi asked obediently like a primary school student, "What's the point of this sword?"

"It used to be the sword worn by Emperor Taizu. It followed the Emperor Taizi to fight in the north and south, witnessed countless important histories, and captured the heads of many enemies. It is a symbol of courage and an inheritance of faith. "
