Chapter 159 Woo, so sad!
After Xiao Xixi had finished all the noodles and soup in the bowl, she recounted the conversation she had with the prince last night.
Of course, she didn't mention that she secretly ate pickled radishes and steamed buns in the middle of the night.
Baoqin was shocked: "The Queen is going to hold a banquet for all the beauties, and she is also going to choose a princess for the Crown Prince?"
Xiao Xixi said yes while reaching out to pick up the last eight-treasure steamed bun.
Baoqin became even more anxious: "My lady, the Crown Prince is willing to tell you such an important matter in advance, which means that he cares about your opinion. You should seize the opportunity to stop him from choosing the Crown Princess!"
Xiao Xixi ate the steamed buns and asked in confusion: "Why should I stop him? He will have a crown princess sooner or later. Even if he doesn't choose one this time, he will choose one next time."
"Then have you ever thought that if the East Palace has a Crown Princess, you won't be able to raise chickens, ducks, pigs, and geese?"
Xiao Xixi paused while eating the steamed bun.
She slowly opened her eyes, a look of shock on her face.
Baoqin continued, "Not only can we not raise chickens, ducks, pigs and geese, we certainly can't grow the vegetables in our backyard, and the lotus roots and fish and shrimp in the pond will also be fished out and thrown away. This is the imperial palace after all, and it is not allowed to do these things in the palace. The reason why the vegetable garden and chickens, ducks, pigs and geese in the backyard of Qingge Palace can still be kept until now is because there is no Crown Princess to manage them, and you have the protection of His Royal Highness the Crown Prince, so the two concubines can't reach our Qingge Palace. But if you have a Crown Princess, the situation will be very different. No matter how much His Royal Highness the Crown Prince dotes on you, he can't turn against the Crown Princess for a few vegetables and livestock. At that time, you will have to suffer. Don't you think this is reasonable?"
As she described, Xiao Xixi seemed to see the cruel scene of chicks, ducklings, geese and pigs being ruthlessly slaughtered, all the vegetables being mercilessly pulled out, and even the small fish and shrimps in the pond being caught in one net.
Without the vegetable garden, she would never be able to eat delicious food again. She could only hold the steamed bread in her hands, without a drop of oil in the dishes, and she couldn't stop her tears from flowing down.
Woo, so sad!
Xiao Xixi suddenly felt that the eight-treasure steamed bun in her hand was no longer fragrant.
She put down the steamed bun and spoke anxiously.
"I'll go find the prince right now!"
She had to find a way to stop the Crown Prince from marrying a Crown Princess. At least, he couldn't marry a Crown Princess until her mission was completed.
As for whether he would marry a queen after he ascended the throne, that was his business and she had no right to interfere. Anyway, by that time she would have completed her mission and returned to her master to report.
Seeing that the young lady finally had the will to fight, Baoqin was so moved that she almost cried: "I will go and prepare some snacks right away."
Xiao Xixi dressed up a little, got on the sedan chair, and urged the bearers to go faster.
Baoqin followed closely behind with the food box.
They went straight to Mingguang Palace.
When they arrived at Minguang Palace, they found out that the Crown Prince had gone to the council hall and had not returned yet.
Xiao Xixi and Baoqin could only wait at the door.
If it were somewhere else, Xiao Xixi could go in and sit and wait, but unfortunately Minguang Palace was the prince's study, which contained many important things. Without the prince's permission, no one dared to let her in.
After a while, the eldest prince Luo Yechen also came.
He was only wearing a single piece of clothing today.
It's already autumn and the weather is getting cooler, but it's really strange that he is still wearing so little.
What is even more strange is that he was carrying a bundle of brambles on his back.
Why would a great prince carry a bundle of thorns? To burn it as firewood?
