Xiao Xixi transmigrated back to ancient times and became one of the Crown Prince's concubines.
This should have been the beginning of a palace struggle, but all she wanted was to be a ...

Chapter 392 This girl is going to be in big trouble today!
Lady Zhao politely declined.
"Thank you for your kindness, sister. I can do it by myself. His Royal Highness is still in the private room. He must be very bored because he is alone. Sister, you should go and keep him company."
Xiao Xixi said helplessly: "Okay, then you have to be careful and don't run into bad guys."
Lady Zhao responded casually, "I understand. You can leave now."
As soon as Xiao Xixi left, Concubine Zhao ran towards the inner courtyard.
She found Tian as quickly as possible.
Tian was very surprised: "Why did you come here? Shouldn't you be accompanying Concubine Xiao in the private room at this time?"
Lady Zhao said quickly, "The plan has changed! Not only Concubine Xiao is coming tonight, but the Crown Prince is also coming. We must stop our plan, and you must not put drugs in the food!"
Tian's expression changed drastically: "But I have already asked someone to send the drugged food to the private room!"
Lady Zhao couldn't believe it: "How could it be so fast?!"
"I knew you would come, so I asked the chef to prepare all the signature dishes in advance. I personally put drugs in the dishes. Once you place the order, I will have the food and drinks served."
Tian wanted things to go more smoothly, so he arranged everything in advance.
But I didn't expect that things would turn out differently.
Concubine Zhao's heart was beating wildly at this moment.
There was only one word left in her mind -
It’s over!
There were drugs in the food and wine. If Concubine Xiao and the Crown Prince ate them, they would definitely faint.
How were they going to explain this afterwards?
With the prince's brain, no matter how they explain it, it will never make sense!
Tian was so anxious that she was spinning around: "What should I do? How about I ask someone to take the food away now?"
Lady Zhao was also in a state of confusion, her mind was buzzing, "This is the only way now. The food and wine have just been served, they probably haven't eaten much, so they won't get dizzy for now. Have someone find an excuse to bring the food and wine back, and I'll find a way to get them drunk later. If they feel dizzy later, they should think it's because they're drunk, and maybe this matter can be covered up."
"Okay, I'll have someone arrange it right away!"
Tian ran hurriedly to find the shopkeeper.
Concubine Zhao returned to the private room with unsteady steps.
As soon as she entered the private room, she saw the table filled with dishes and the room was filled with the aroma of wine and food.
Xiao Xixi was eating the food with big mouthfuls and had no time to greet Lady Zhao. She just glanced at her and found that her forehead was darker than before.
It looks like this girl is going to be in big trouble today!
Lady Zhao quickly advised, "Don't eat so fast. Eating too fast is bad for your stomach."
Xiao Xixi swallowed the food in her mouth: "It's okay, I'm strong and have a good stomach, so I won't have indigestion."
Luo Qinghan didn't eat much food.
He has never been very confident about eating outside.
He noticed that Lady Zhao looked strange, so he began to observe her subtly, wanting to know what she was up to.
Lady Zhao was still trying to persuade him: "Even if you are in good health, you can't eat so fast. These dishes won't go away anyway, so you can enjoy them slowly."
Xiao Xixi: "I tell you, you can take your time with everything else, but you have to eat the meat while it's hot. It won't taste good if it's cold."
At this moment, the door of the private room was suddenly pushed open.
The shopkeeper came running in with a group of his servants.
The shopkeeper apologized with a smile, "Dear guests, we are so sorry, it was our mistake! We accidentally served the wrong dishes. These dishes were prepared for other guests. We will help you change the dishes right away."
As soon as he finished speaking, he called on the guys behind him to replace the food and drinks.
The waiters rushed forward and swiftly took away the food and drinks on the table one by one.
Xiao Xixi was quick with her eyes and hands. She picked up the braised lion head closest to her and placed it in front of her.
She said, "I think these dishes are pretty good. It doesn't matter if they were served wrong. You can just prepare a new set of dishes for other guests. We've already eaten these dishes anyway. If we remove them, they will just be thrown away. What a waste!"
The shopkeeper insisted: "This is because of our carelessness. It is our fault and we must take responsibility. As compensation, you can enjoy the dinner tonight for free."
The food and drinks on the table were quickly replaced by the waiters, except for the braised lion's head dish which was still in Xiao Xixi's hand. She held the plate tightly and refused to let go.
She loves this dish so much! She doesn’t want it to be replaced!
Seeing this, the shopkeeper hurriedly said, "I'll ask the chef to cook another dish of braised lion's head for you. Let us take this dish away."
Lady Zhao helped persuade him, "Don't make things difficult for them. Just give them the food quickly."
Xiao Xixi: "I think this dish is delicious. I can eat two servings!"
The shopkeeper: "Then I'll ask the chef to prepare two more portions of braised lion's head for you, okay?"
Xiao Xixi nodded without hesitation: "Okay!"
"Then please give us this plate of braised lion's head."
Xiao Xixi: "I won't! Once the food is in my hands, no one can take it away!"
Shopkeeper: “…”
The shopkeeper was extremely anxious, but he didn't dare to be violent towards Xiao Xixi. He could only look at Lady Zhao for help.
Lady Zhao advised Xiao Xixi a few more words.
But Xiao Xixi refused to listen to the advice.
Concubine Zhao was furious but helpless and could only ask the prince for help.
"Sir, the shopkeeper has said that he is willing to give us a free meal. I think he is very sincere. Your sister's behavior will make it difficult for him to do his job. Sir, please persuade her."
This is outside, and there are many outsiders watching nearby. Concubine Zhao feels that the Crown Prince will definitely not allow Concubine Xiao to do whatever she wants.
Sure enough, Luo Qinghan spoke to Xiao Xixi in a clear and cold voice.
"Put the food down."
Xiao Xixi pouted: "No, this is my dish, I don't want to give it to others."
Luo Qinghan: "I'm not asking you to give it to someone else, I'm asking you to put the food on the table. How can you eat if you keep holding it like this?"
"But if I put the food on the table, these people will come and grab my food."
"If they dare to steal your dishes, I will make sure their restaurant will never open again." Having said that, Luo Qinghan glanced at the shopkeeper with a frighteningly cold look.
The shopkeeper's scalp tingled and he broke out in a cold sweat.
He shivered and wiped the cold sweat from his forehead with his sleeve, explaining in a trembling voice.
"We have no intention of stealing the food. We just want to change a new dish of braised lion's head for our distinguished guest. I guarantee that the two dishes will taste exactly the same, without any changes."
Xiao Xixi: "Since there won't be any changes, why do you want to change my dishes?"
The shopkeeper said: "We want to apologize to you. Changing the dishes is our way of expressing our apology."
Xiao Xixi: "I don't like this method!"
