Chapter 689

Although Baoqin remembered Concubine Xiao in her heart, she knew very well that the emperor would not be able to protect Concubine Xiao for a lifetime, and he would definitely have other women.

But she never thought that the emperor would dote on a woman who looks similar to Concubine Xiao!

What does the emperor mean?

Because Concubine Xiao is gone, do you want to find a replacement for Concubine Xiao?

Baoqin didn't think it was an expression of affection at all, but only felt resentment and anger.

Concubine Xiao is Concubine Xiao, she is a unique existence, no one in this world can replace her!

If the emperor really likes her, he should respect her.

Instead of looking for such a substitute to replace her!

Baoqin clenched her hands into fists and stared at the woman in front of her, her eyes almost bursting with fire.

Xiao Xixi was stunned by her hostile eyes.

In Xiao Xixi's impression, Baoqin has always been lively and lovely, even if she sometimes nags a bit, but the starting point is for her good.

This was the first time she saw Baoqin showing such a resentful expression.

Eunuch Chang quickly stepped forward and blocked Baoqin's sight with his body. He cupped his hands at the imperial concubine and said with a smile.

"Whatever Niangniang asks you to do in the future, you can ask Baoqin to do it. Baoqin is very quick to do things, and she is a smart person, and she will be able to share her worries for Niangniang in the future."

Xiao Xixi: "Well, father-in-law Lao made a special trip here."

Eunuch Chang: "This is all ordered by the emperor. The slaves are just helping to run errands."

When he left, he gave Baoqin a special wink to signal her to calm down.

As soon as Eunuch Chang left, Xiao Xixi stood up and ran over to pull Baoqin's hand.

"Bao Qin, you..."

Baoqin quickly withdrew her hand.

She took two steps back, distanced herself from the other party, and then knelt down again, bowing her head.

"Slave servants are despicable bodies, so don't touch your maiden, lest they get your hands dirty."

The attitude seems to be respectful, but in fact it is alienated and indifferent.

Xiao Xixi scratched her head: "Bao Qin, don't you recognize me?"

Baoqin still bowed her head: "The maiden has a noble status, how dare the slaves not know her?"

She originally wanted to be dormant in the imperial concubine, but now she just wants to get out of here quickly.

She didn't want to see a substitute dangling reluctantly in her all day long.

I don't even want to see a substitute occupy everything that should belong to Concubine Xiao.

Xiao Xixi: "Do you still remember milk tea? Do you remember pearl pudding and blood glutinous rice? There are also roast duck, bamboo tube rice, spicy hot pot, boiled fish, Buddha jumps over the wall, sweet-scented sweet-scented osmanthus..."

She couldn't help swallowing as she spoke.

She abruptly said she was hungry.

Baoqin felt an inexplicable feeling in her heart when she heard the names of those familiar dishes.

She raised her head to look at each other.

Xiao Xixi squatted down with the hem of her skirt up, keeping her eye level.

"Do you remember the chickens, ducks, pigs and geese we raised in the backyard? Do you remember the fish and lotus roots in the pond? There are also vegetable gardens and grape trellis, although those are no longer there, but you shouldn't forget them. "

Baoqin's eyes widened a little, looking at her in disbelief.

"Of course the servant remembers! But, how did you know this? Could it be that His Majesty told you this? Did he even tell you this?"

Xiao Xixi sighed: "Then do you remember asking me to deliver the old duck soup to the prince? You wanted me to tell the prince that I made the soup myself, but I told the truth that it was you who made it."

Baoqin was really shocked now.

Only she and Concubine Xiao knew about this matter, not even the emperor.

Xiao Xixi was still talking to herself.

"You always wanted me to compete for favor, but I was always too lazy to move. You always hated iron, but you indulged my waywardness. You cared for me like an old mother, yes. I take good care of it."

Baoqin: "..."

I should have been very moved, but when I heard the words of the old mother, I felt nothing.

Xiao Xixi held her hand again and said sincerely.

"Mother Baoqin, please love me again!"

Baoqin: "..."

Although the appearance of the noble concubine in front of her is somewhat different from that of Concubine Xiao, this natural sand sculpture temperament is exactly the same.

Bao Qin's heart began to shake.

she asked cautiously.

"Are you really, really Concubine Xiao?"

Xiao Xixi: "I say nothing, you can try me."

Baoqin: "How to try?"

Xiao Xixi smiled confidently: "Cook all your favorite meals, no matter how much, I can give you enough to eat without any scum!"

Baoqin: "..."

how to say?

This proposal is very Concubine Xiao.

Baoqin immediately started and cooked a large table of dishes according to Concubine Xiao's taste.

Because Concubine Xiao likes to eat meat, most of them are heavy oil and spicy meat dishes.

It is impossible for a normal person to eat so much.

Especially the concubines of the harem, in order to maintain their figure, they will strictly control their diet and will never eat so many meat dishes.

Xiao Xixi frantically secreted saliva when she saw the delicious food in front of her.

She picked up the chopsticks and ate quickly, complimenting her while eating.

"This braised pork is delicious! Baoqin, your craftsmanship is better than before!"

Baoqin stood beside her, watching her without blinking.

Looking at it, her eyes turned red involuntarily.

No one knows Concubine Xiao's taste better than her, and no one knows the little details of Concubine Xiao's meal.

At this time, the concubine's appearance was exactly the same as when Concubine Xiao was eating.

That kind of love for food and the feeling of happiness when eating food can never be faked.

Xiao Xixi stretched out her arms and wanted to serve herself a bowl of soup.

Baoqin took the spoon first and filled her with a bowl of old duck soup with sour radish.

Xiao Xixi raised her head and saw Baoqin smiling at her with tears in her eyes.

"Eat slowly, Niangniang, and be careful of the scalding."

Xiao Xixi took the soup and put it aside, and wiped the tears from the corners of her eyes with her sleeves.

"What are you crying for?"

Baoqin knelt beside the table and choked: "This servant is crying with joy."

Xiao Xixi motioned for her to sit down and chat.

Baoqin shook her head: "It's fine for slaves to kneel."

Xiao Xixi didn't force her, and asked while drinking the soup.

"Didn't I return the deed of prostitution to you? You are already a freelancer, why didn't you leave the palace?"

Baoqin: "If the servants leave the palace, I will never see you again. The servants want to stay in the palace and wait for your return."

Fortunately she didn't leave.

Fortunately, Concubine Xiao really came back.

All the waiting was worth it.

Xiao Xixi: "How have you been in the palace this year? Has anyone bullied you?"

Baoqin: "No, the servants are doing very well. After you left, the servants will go to the imperial kitchen to work. The servants learned a lot of new dishes in the imperial kitchen, and I can cook them for you later."

Xiao Xixi's eyes lit up: "Okay, okay!"
