Chapter 260 Why not take them all into the East Palace?
Xiao Xixi was quite disappointed when she saw that he refused to accept the gift.
As the saying goes, one should be grateful to the person who has received the gift. If the prince accepted the gift from her, she could then naturally ask for the expansion of the vegetable garden.
Oh, what a pity!
Baoqin put the roasted food on a plate and brought it to Concubine Xiao and the Crown Prince.
Xiao Xixi was particularly aware of being a concubine. She first selected a skewer of fragrant grilled chicken and put it on the prince's plate. Then she started to eat her own.
Luo Qinghan took a bite of the barbecue and thought it tasted okay, but this way of eating was not elegant and he could not accept it.
He took two bites and then put the bamboo stick down.
Upon seeing this, Eunuch Chang knew that the prince was not used to the food, so he immediately asked someone to prepare a few light-tasting dishes and serve them.
Xiao Xixi ate the barbecue with gusto.
She had barbecued in the mountains before, but due to her limited cooking skills, the meat was either not cooked through or burnt, and the taste was far inferior to that of Baoqin.
She ate one bunch after another and seemed unable to stop.
If you can have a glass of iced beer at this time, it will taste even better!
It’s a pity that there is no beer, but fortunately there is milk tea.
Xiao Xixi picked up the cup and gulped down a big gulp of milk tea.
When Luo Qinghan was a child, he often had meals with Queen Qin. Queen Qin was very particular about etiquette and would never allow any noise on the table while eating, so he also developed the habit of eating quietly.
But every time I had a meal with Xiao Xixi, this silence would be broken.
She often talks while eating and makes gurgling sounds when drinking, making her presence felt at all times.
Luo Qinghan didn't hate this feeling. Sometimes he even felt that it was better this way because it made it easier for him to relax.
Xiao Xixi picked a string of grilled shrimp balls off the bamboo skewer and put it into the prince's bowl.
"These dumplings are very delicious. Your Highness, please try some."
This kind of shrimp balls are made purely by hand, with a smooth and chewy texture, a fresh and sweet taste, and are extremely delicious.
Luo Qinghan was already accustomed to her behavior of shoveling food into his bowl from time to time.
Whenever she ate something particularly delicious, she would share it with him.
It seems that by doing this, one happiness can be turned into two happinesses.
Luo Qinghan picked up the shrimp balls with chopsticks and took a bite.
"It's really delicious."
Xiao Xixi smiled with eyes curved: "In addition to eating this kind of shrimp balls by grilling, they are also delicious when cooked in hot pot. Let's make hot pot and eat them together later."
Luo Qinghan agreed.
The next day, the prince went to the council hall as usual.
After discussing the important matters, the emperor deliberately kept the prince.
The emperor asked, "How do you feel now? Are you still feeling uncomfortable?"
Luo Qinghan replied respectfully: "I am not feeling unwell, thank you for your concern, father."
The emperor smiled with relief: "I am relieved to see that you are okay."
He paused, then continued, "You went to the banquet for all the beauties before and saw Jing Sanniang and Duan Wuniang. What do you think of them?"
When Luo Qinghan heard this, he immediately understood what his father was thinking.
He said slowly, "Jing Sanniang and Duan Wuniang are both very good women. It's a pity that I am not destined to be with them. I can only wish them to find their ideal husbands as soon as possible."
The emperor said, "Since you think they are good, why not take them all into the East Palace?"
