Chen Liangyuan couldn't help but ask, "Is that a letter from His Highness to my sister?"
Xiao Xixi: "No."
Chen Liangyuan didn't believe it. That was clearly the prince's handwriting. It must be a letter written by the prince to Concubine Xiao.
Both of them lived in the East Palace, so close to each other that they could see each other anytime they wanted. Why did the prince still have to write a letter to Concubine Xiao?
Could it be that the prince wrote a love letter?
Chen Liangyuan tried hard to recall what she had just seen. The two pieces of paper seemed to have the word "like" written on them.
Yes, it must be a love letter!
When Chen Liangyuan thought of this, her whole heart felt like it was soaked in lemon juice and was extremely sour.
She didn't dare show her jealousy and still had a friendly smile on her face.
"Sister has been running outside with the prince every day recently. Could something have happened outside?"
Xiao Xixi: "No, everything is peaceful outside."
"So what did you do when you left the palace?"
Xiao Xixi: "I went to buy some candied haws."
Chen Liangyuan thought she had misheard: "What to buy?"
"Candied haws." Seeing that she didn't believe it, Xiao Xixi asked Baoqin to bring out the straw stick.
She had eaten half of the candied haws on the stick, and there were more than ten left.
Xiao Xixi pulled out a candied haws and ate it while saying, "These are the candied haws we bought from outside the palace. They are very delicious. If you go out of the palace to play in the future, remember to buy one and try it."
Chen Liangyuan watched her eating the candied haws with gusto and thought that this woman was just showing off on purpose!
Chen Liangyuan said sourly, "Your Highness took you out to play, why didn't you buy anything expensive? What's the point of buying something worthless like a candied haws? It's just a loss of status."
Xiao Xixi said seriously: "You can't say that. Although the candied haws are not valuable, it was bought for me by His Highness. As the saying goes, the thought behind a small gift is great. It doesn't matter how expensive or cheap the item is, as long as the thought is there."
Chen Liangyuan once again confirmed that this woman was just showing off!
What she showed off was not the candied haws, but the prince's favor towards her!
Chen Liangyuan forced out an awkward smile: "Yes, sister is right."
Then she talked about another thing.
"The Mid-Autumn Festival is coming soon. I heard that the new Concubine Jing, Duan Liangdi, and Qin Liangdi have all prepared performances. It seems that they are planning to take this opportunity to make a splash."
Xiao Xixi was not interested in being in the limelight, so she said casually, "Oh, that's good."
Seeing that she was indifferent, Chen Liangyuan became a little anxious: "Are you going to watch them get ahead?"
Xiao Xixi: "It's their business if they come forward. What does it have to do with me?"
"But there is only one prince. If they take away his favor, what will you do in the future, sister?"
Xiao Xixi: "Then I should eat, drink and sleep."
Chen Liangyuan was almost angry to death.
She had made her words so clearly, yet Concubine Xiao was still pretending to be dumb in front of her!
Chen Liangyuan tried her best to keep herself calm and advised earnestly: "I know that my sister is broad-minded and will not argue with those vixens, but those vixens will not let you go easily. If they are favored, they will definitely deal with you. You have to make plans for the future."
Xiao Xixi: "I've already made plans."
Chen Liangyuan immediately perked up upon hearing this and asked excitedly, "How do you plan to deal with those vixens?"
"I plan to eat more at every meal in the future, so that if I am killed by someone in the future, at least I can die with a full stomach."
Chen Liangyuan: “…”
Chen Liangyuan felt like she was about to suffocate.
She couldn't stand it anymore and asked, "Is this all you can do?!"
Xiao Xixi nodded calmly: "Yes, having enough food and drink is my ideal in life."
Chen Liangyuan felt that this woman was lying.
If Xiao Xixi just wanted to have enough food and drink, then she could just stay in the General's Mansion. Why did she have to marry into the Eastern Palace?
Which woman who is willing to enter the palace does not have great ambitions? !
Chen Liangyuan couldn't pretend anymore. She stood up suddenly and sneered, "I really admire your acting skills, sister. You are so good at playing dumb. No wonder His Highness dotes on you so much. Just based on your acting skills, no one in the entire Eastern Palace can compare to you!"
Xiao Xixi looked up at her, a candied haws in her mouth, with a confused look on her face.
Baoqin reminded: "My dear, please be careful with your words!"
“I want to see how you can still play dumb when someone else takes away the prince’s favor?!
After saying these harsh words, Chen Liangyuan threw away her handkerchief and left angrily.
Baoqin comforted her, "My lady, please don't take it personally. She is just jealous of you and wants to instigate you to fight with others so that she can benefit from it."
Xiao Xixi chewed the candied haws in her mouth and said vaguely, "So that's how it is..."
"Fortunately, your Highness was smart enough not to fall for her trick."
Xiao Xixi spat out the hawthorn kernel in her mouth and said seriously, "What I just said was the truth. I didn't play dumb to lie to her."
Baoqin showed a meaningful expression: "Well, Madam is right, every word you said is the truth. Even if Chen Liangyuan is angry, she can't say bad things about you to others."
Xiao Xixi: “…”
Although Baoqin was telling the truth, her expression made something seem strange.
That night, the prince summoned Duan Liangdi to sleep with him again.
This time the prince did not let her drink alcohol, but only let her drink a cup of tea.
As a result, the night passed in a daze again.
When she woke up the next morning, there was no one around her. When she thought back to last night's experience, all that remained in her mind were the wonderful scenes in her dream.
Duan Liangdi went to talk to Concubine Jing, and all she talked about was how good the prince was.
Concubine Jing was as dignified and generous as ever. She listened to her with a smile and behaved like a gentle older sister.
After finishing her words, Duan Liangdi took Concubine Jing to rehearse the program.
A melodious and pleasant sound of piano was heard from Wanhe Palace.
As everyone knows, apart from Concubine Xiao, Duan Liangdi is the most favored one in the Eastern Palace.
Qin Xiya didn't like either of them, but when she compared them carefully, she hated Duan Liangdi more.
If Duan Liang Di hadn't taken advantage of her, how could she have been favored by the prince? !
Three days passed in the blink of an eye.
Luo Qinghan came to Xiao Xixi to check her homework.
Xiao Xixi behaved properly, looking well-behaved and sensible.
She was very confident. She had memorized all the contents on the three papers. No matter which part the prince randomly checked, she would be able to answer it!
Luo Qinghan looked at her steadily without saying a word.
Xiao Xixi waited for a long time but he still didn't speak, so she couldn't help but ask, "Why doesn't Your Highness speak?"
Luo Qinghan: "I want you to guess what I'm thinking right now. If you guess correctly, you'll pass."
Xiao Xixi was shocked.
