Chapter 153: Refusing to Forgive Her
Luo Qinghan felt extremely disgusted.
He hated the feeling of being manipulated.
But he knew that he was not in a position to refuse.
"I understand, son."
After saying this, Queen Qin stopped talking.
Luo Qinghan tactfully said goodbye.
Concubine Li hurriedly said, "I will also take my leave."
The two men walked out of the Pepper Room one after the other.
Zhenzhu helped Queen Qin to stand up and walked slowly towards the inner hall.
"Your Majesty, do you think the Crown Prince and Concubine Li can reconcile?"
Queen Qin said indifferently: "If she could coax the prince well, why would she come to me?"
Pearl asked curiously, "Aren't you going to help her? After all, she is also your family."
"If she had the ability to stand on her own feet and let me see her value, I would naturally help her. But she can't even stand on her feet, why should I meddle in her affairs and make myself a burden for nothing?"
Pearl understood: "Your Highness is right."
Queen Qin: "Tomorrow, send someone out of the palace to ask the Qin family which girl should be invited to the banquet?"
"Yes."
…
After leaving the Pepper Room, Concubine Li's mind was full of what Queen Qin had just said.
A banquet for beauties will be held next month, and all the noble ladies in Shengjing will be present. The Queen will choose the Crown Princess from among them.
Once the Eastern Palace has a Crown Princess, her life as a concubine will not be so comfortable.
Concubine Li looked at the tall figure in front of her and felt anxious. She ignored etiquette and quickly chased after him, lifting her skirt.
"Your Highness, please stay!"
Luo Qinghan stopped and looked back at her, his eyes even colder than when he was in the Pepper Room.
This look made Concubine Li feel uneasy.
But in order to make her life easier in the future, she mustered up her courage and stepped forward to greet him. Her aqua-red fairy dress made her look charming and bright, like a blooming peony.
She blushed and said, "Your Highness, I haven't seen you for a long time. I miss you very much."
Although she looked shy, her words were bold and direct.
This contrast makes her even more attractive.
Luo Qinghan was in a bad mood at the moment and had no intention of appreciating the beauty at all. He asked expressionlessly.
"Have you finished copying the Lotus Sutra a hundred times?"
Concubine Li froze.
She didn't expect that His Royal Highness the Crown Prince still remembered this.
It’s been more than three months!
Moreover, she has been punished to go to Ziyun Temple to reflect on her mistakes for a month. Isn’t that enough?
Concubine Li felt wronged and said coquettishly, "Your Highness, I have been in Ziyun Temple for a whole month, eating vegetarian food and chanting Buddha's name every day. Isn't that more sincere than copying scriptures? I believe that the Buddha has forgiven me. Your Highness, please don't pursue the previous matter anymore."
Luo Qinghan's voice turned cold: "So, you haven't finished copying?"
Concubine Li said awkwardly, "Not yet."
"I told you before that you are not allowed to leave the house until you finish copying the scriptures. Did you ignore my words?"
Concubine Li was scolded until her face turned red and she felt very aggrieved.
She just couldn't understand. She was such a charming beauty standing in front of the prince, but he was not only unmoved, but also insisted on grabbing a few broken scriptures. What was wrong with him? !
In his eyes, is she not as attractive as a few broken scriptures? !
Luo Qinghan sternly rebuked: "Go back to your Golden Wind Palace. You are not allowed to leave until you finish copying the scriptures."
Concubine Li agreed resignedly.
"Yes."
Luo Qinghan ignored her, got on the carriage and went back to the East Palace.
Concubine Li stamped her feet in anger.
She didn't expect that just because of such a small matter, the prince still refused to forgive her.
It’s all because of that idiot Lady Zhao!
