Chapter 219 Don’t I Still Have You?
Xiao Xixi said as a matter of course: "I am also a human being, of course I also have bad moods sometimes."
"I see you are so cheerful every day, as if nothing else matters as long as you have food to eat. I thought you would never know what it feels like to be sad."
Xiao Xixi snorted, "Your Highness confiscated my books before, and I was very unhappy."
"Those books are not for you."
Xiao Xixi muttered quietly: "Old-fashioned."
"What did you say?"
Xiao Xixi chewed the candy in her mouth with a crunching sound: "Nothing."
Luo Qinghan suddenly said, "Tomorrow's banquet for all the beauties, you will accompany me to attend it."
Xiao Xixi paused while eating the candy.
Her face was full of rejection: "I don't want to go."
She was staying well in the East Palace and didn't want to go out and socialize with others at all.
Luo Qinghan: "There are many delicious foods at the banquet."
Xiao Xixi: "Am I the kind of person who would give up my principles just for a little delicious food?!"
Luo Qinghan looked at her quietly.
Xiao Xixi: "Okay, that's who I am."
Luo Qinghan's mouth curled up slightly, and he asked, "Do you have any more Qixu Pills? I've already eaten the ones you gave me before."
"Yes, I have."
Xiao Xixi took out a bottle of Qixu Dan from a small bag with a blue background and small flowers and handed it over.
Luo Qinghan put the medicine bottle away.
…
Upon learning that Xiao Liangdi would accompany the prince to a banquet for beauties tomorrow, Baoqin felt extremely complicated.
"My lady, if the prince really married another woman as his consort, you would definitely be very sad, right?"
Xiao Xixi was lying on the couch reading the notes that the prince had given her. While reading, she said casually, "Why should I be sad? If the prince can marry the woman he likes, I should bless him."
Baoqin felt even more sad after hearing this: "Then what will you do?"
"I still have you."
Baoqin started crying: "My lady, I will always be with you, wuwuwu!"
Xiao Xixi quickly stood up and helped her wipe her tears: "Why are you crying?"
Baoqin choked up and said, "I feel sad for you. You and the Crown Prince have such a good relationship. If the Crown Prince marries another woman, how will you deal with it? I feel distressed just thinking about that scene."
Xiao Xixi comforted him, "Don't worry, the prince won't marry a princess for the time being."
"But the Crown Prince will be attending the banquet for all the beauties tomorrow, and the Queen will definitely choose one of the noble ladies attending the banquet as the Crown Princess."
"I read my fortune and it turns out that the selection of the Crown Princess will not be successful tomorrow."
Baoqin was very convinced of her mistress's fortune-telling ability. After hearing what she said, she immediately believed it to about 70% and her tears gradually stopped.
Since tomorrow's event cannot be accomplished, Xiao Liangdi still has a chance to compete for the position of Crown Princess.
Baoqin felt much more relieved.
She wiped the tears off her face with a handkerchief and said, "I will go and prepare the things you need for tomorrow's trip."
"Well, go ahead."
The imperial doctors tried every possible means but were unable to cure the prince's illness within two days.
The next day was the banquet for beauties, and the prince still looked sickly.
He put on his clothes with the help of the palace maids.
This banquet was held in Shanglin Garden, where the wind was quite strong. In order to prevent the prince from catching a cold, Mo Hua specially prepared very thick clothes for him and a small heater for warming his hands.
He put on a cloak, carried a hand warmer, walked out of the Linde Hall surrounded by the crowd, and got on the carriage.
Behind the carriage, there was a row of palace maids and eunuchs following, making a very grand scene.
Xiao Xixi started to feel sleepy the moment she got in the car.
Xixi counted on her fingers and decided that today is a good day to vote!
Don’t just stand there like an idiot, vote now!
