Chapter 234 Apology
The emperor and the empress were shocked when they learned the result.
They never expected that the prince would be unlucky in marriage!
Taoist Tianyi said, "Your Majesty and Your Majesty, don't panic. This matter is not unsolvable. I have a treasure here, an ancient artifact passed down from my master. As long as Your Highness carries it with him, he will be able to marry and have children in three years."
After saying that, he took out a string of obsidian beads from his sleeve and presented it with both hands.
The emperor took the beads. It felt heavy and cool to the touch.
He habitually doubted: "Can this bead really be useful?"
Taoist Tianyi: "Of course it is useful. If your majesty does not believe it, you can let the prince take it, and his illness will be cured tomorrow."
It was just a string of beads, and there was no harm in carrying it. After a slight hesitation, the emperor asked someone to send the beads to the prince.
Queen Qin still had some doubts: "If it is true as the Taoist said, that the prince is destined to be unlucky in marriage, why can he still marry so many concubines?"
Taoist Tianyi said: "Those concubines are just concubines, not wives. The prince can only control wives, not concubines."
The emperor and Queen Qin were both suspicious people, and they were skeptical about what Tianyi Taoist said.
Eastern Palace, inside the Linde Hall.
Xiao Xixi came to visit the prince with a food box and happened to see the prince taking the string of obsidian beads from Gan Fu.
Gan Fu said that this string of beads was a treasure sent by a Taoist from Tianyi, and that wearing it could ward off evil spirits and ensure safety.
Luo Qinghan took the obsidian beads without saying a word and put them on his wrist.
Gan Fu respectfully took his leave.
After he left, only Xiao Xixi and the prince were left in the room.
Xiao Xixi stared at the beads on the prince's wrist and asked curiously, "No matter how I look at it, I feel that this is just an ordinary string of beads."
Luo Qinghan said calmly: "This is indeed just an ordinary string of beads."
"That day a Taoist priest said it could drive away evil spirits and ensure safety?"
"It's all a scam."
Xiao Xixi wanted to say, since you know it's a scam, why do you still wear the beads on your hands?
But seeing that he didn't want to talk more, she tactfully didn't ask any further questions.
She took out a porcelain bowl from the food box and said, "This is a stew of rock sugar and snow pear specially made for Your Highness. It also contains some Sichuan Fritillaria. It is very good for your throat. Please try it."
Luo Qinghan: "Put it aside."
Xiao Xixi: "Drink this while it's hot."
"I have no appetite. If you have nothing else to do, go back. I want to take a nap."
Xiao Xixi wanted to say something, but seeing his cold expression, she could only say angrily, "Oh, then go to sleep. I won't disturb you anymore."
She turned and tried to leave.
Luo Qinghan didn't expect that she would just leave like that without even trying to struggle.
He said angrily, "Stop!"
Xiao Xixi stopped and asked curiously, "Your Highness, do you have any other instructions?"
"You came all the way to see me, don't you have anything to say?"
Xiao Xixi remembered Baoqin's previous instructions and the delicious Buddha Jumps Over the Wall, and immediately perked up and said seriously.
"I'm here to apologize to you. I made you misunderstand me before. It's all my fault. Please don't hold it against me."
After saying that, she bowed to the prince with a very standard posture and a very sincere attitude.
However, Luo Qinghan's face became even darker.
"Is this your way of apologizing?"
Xiao Xixi thought he was not sincere enough, so in order to fully express her sincerity, she bowed twice more.
Luo Qinghan: "Shouldn't you burn incense next?"
Xiao Xixi: ???
