Chapter 727: I lose if I’m not jealous to death!

Luo Qinghan was wearing a navy blue brocade gown with narrow sleeves and a round collar today, and a black leather belt made his waist look very seductive.

Even with a very simple outfit, he still looks graceful and has an outstanding temperament.

However, Xiao Xixi had no intention of appreciating the handsome man.

She fell to the ground, closed her eyes and fell into a deep sleep.

Luo Qinghan looked at her expressionlessly.

Seeing that she was really asleep, he had to look away, picked up a soft pillow and placed it behind her head, then pulled the blanket over her.

In addition to the emperor and his concubines, those who participated in the autumn hunting included many royal relatives, children of noble families, and ministers of the court.

A team of more than 2,000 people passed through Zhuque Street, left Shengjing City and headed for Shanglinyuan.

A temporary palace was built in Shanglinyuan.

The palace is located among mountains and rivers, with fresh air and quiet environment. It is a good place to escape the summer heat, cool off, and enjoy the scenery.

The convoy stopped near the palace.

The eunuchs and maids in charge of managing the palace had already prepared everything.

Xiao Xixi followed the emperor out of the carriage.

At this time, a eunuch in charge walked up to Eunuch Chang and said a few words.

Eunuch Chang then walked up to the emperor and the imperial concubine and spoke respectfully.

"Excuse me, Your Majesty, Your Majesty, how should this room be arranged?"

Normally, matters like this would be arranged by the Queen, but since there was no Queen, the highest-ranking concubine present was the Imperial Concubine, so the eunuch in charge could only ask the Imperial Concubine for a decision.

Xiao Xixi was most afraid of such trivial things, so she quickly held her forehead and pretended to faint.

"I've been sitting in the carriage for so long that I feel dizzy and I don't know anything."

Luo Qinghan said calmly: "The palace should have already made arrangements, just follow their arrangements, and report any problems if there are any."

He paused and added.

"Your Highness lives with me."

Eunuch Chang: "I understand."

He conveyed the emperor's intention to the eunuch in charge.

The eunuch in charge was well prepared and immediately got to work, arranging the nobles into different rooms according to their status and position. Everything went on in an orderly manner.

Only Concubine Jing and Concubine Li had some problems.

The largest residence in the palace is naturally the Feique Palace located in the center, followed by the Diecui Pavilion.

Originally, Diecui Pavilion was prepared for the imperial concubine to live in, but the imperial concubine temporarily moved in with the emperor, so Diecui Pavilion became vacant.

After the Imperial Concubine, Concubine Jing and Concubine Li had the highest status.

The eunuch in charge knew very well which lady to arrange to live in Diecui Pavilion, so he came up with a stupid idea.

He went to ask Concubine Jing and Concubine Li to see which of them wanted to live in Diecui Pavilion?

The result is that both of them want to live.

The two of them were deadlocked over this, neither willing to give in.

The eunuch in charge dared not offend anyone and was stuck in the middle, unable to behave himself. In the end, he could only cry and beg the emperor and the imperial concubine to make a decision.

Luo Qinghan and Xiao Xixi were drinking tea and taking a break. Upon hearing this, Xiao Xixi said without hesitation.

"Then let them compete. Whoever wins will live in Diecui Pavilion."

The eunuch in charge was stunned: "Competition? What?"

Xiao Xixi said to Baoqin.

"Bring us our oranges."

Recently, all the oranges in the orchard in the backyard of Yunxiu Palace are ripe. If they are not eaten, they will rot. Xiao Xixi doesn't want to waste them, so she has people pick all the oranges and put them away, intending to make orange jam.

This time when she went out, she specially asked someone to pack a basket of oranges and bring it to the Shanglinyuan Palace.

Baoqin took out six oranges and put them on a tray.

Xiao Xixi pointed at the oranges and said to the eunuch in charge.

"Take these oranges and go find Concubine Jing and Concubine Li. Tell them to compete in eating oranges. Whoever finishes all the oranges on this plate first will get the right to live in Diecui Pavilion."

The eunuch in charge had no idea how powerful the sour oranges from Yunxiu Palace were.

When he heard what the imperial concubine said, he felt confused, but he didn't dare to ask more questions. He took the fruit plate and left quickly.

At the entrance of Diecui Pavilion, Concubine Jing and Concubine Li were still confronting each other. They kept staring at each other until their eyes were almost crossed.

Behind them are their respective supporters.

At first glance, it looks quite impressive.

The eunuch in charge ran over quickly with a fruit plate, saying breathlessly.

"Don't worry, ladies. Listen to what I have to say. The Imperial Concubine has ordered me to deliver the reward."

As he spoke, he passed the fruit plate forward.

"The Imperial Concubine specially asked me to bring these oranges to you two ladies to taste. The Imperial Concubine also said that whoever can finish eating all these oranges in one go can move into the Diecui Pavilion."

When Concubine Jing and Concubine Li saw those oranges, their expressions changed immediately.

Concubine Jing will never forget the experience of eating oranges in Yunxiu Palace last time.

Whenever she saw the orange now, she would think of its sour taste that was enough to stimulate the soul, and her scalp would feel tingling.

Although Concubine Li had never eaten the oranges from Yunxiu Palace, she had heard of its reputation.

Concubine Jing said she didn't want to eat those sour oranges anymore.

Without hesitation she took a step back.

"Since Sister Li Fei likes Die Cui Ju so much, please let Sister Li Fei try these oranges."

I lose if you're not jealous to death!

Concubine Li tugged at her sleeves and said solemnly, "I suddenly realized that the location of Diecui Pavilion is not very good. I'd better live somewhere else. Diecui Pavilion and those oranges belong to Concubine Jing. I hope Concubine Jing can enjoy them slowly."

After saying that, she ran away quickly with her men.

The eunuch in charge handed the fruit plate to Concubine Jing, his eyes full of hope: "Please enjoy it, Concubine Jing. Don't let Concubine Gui's kindness down."

Concubine Jing: "Thank you for your kindness, Your Majesty, but I would actually prefer to live somewhere else. The place you arranged for me before is good. It is conveniently located, has plenty of light, and is spacious. I will live there."

A greeting slowly appeared above the head of the eunuch in charge.

What's going on with these two ladies?

Isn’t it just eating a few oranges?

Why does it seem like you want to kill them?

Is it necessary to be so scared?

Although he was full of confusion, the eunuch in charge was still very happy that he could resolve the conflict between the two concubines and save a lot of trouble.

After he arranged the accommodation for Concubine Jing and Concubine Li, he returned the oranges to the Imperial Concubine and also told her about the reactions of Concubine Jing and Concubine Li.

Xiao Xixi was quite disappointed after hearing this.

"I spent so much effort to give out these oranges, why is it that no one is eating them yet?"

Baoqin didn't want to disappoint the imperial concubine, so she quickly offered some advice.

"I can use those oranges to make sour fish soup, which tastes very good."

Xiao Xixi's eyes lit up: "Good idea!"

There is a lake in Shanglin Garden, with many fish and shrimps in the lake.

The guards caught a big fish and handed it to the kitchen. Baoqin cooked it herself and soon made a hot sour fish soup.

This dish was extremely appetizing. Not only Xiao Xixi, but even Luo Qinghan thought it was delicious, so much so that both of them ate a little more than usual at noon today.

…

Good night everyone~
