Chapter 290 This woman is simply poisonous!
The more Xiao Lingfeng thought about it, the more excited he became: "I am a man, so it is inconvenient for me to enter the palace. As her biological mother, you should visit Xixi often in the future and keep in touch with her. Our family will rely on her for prosperity in the future."
Xue said, "Xixi probably doesn't want to see me."
"Why? Didn't you say she doesn't blame us anymore?"
Xue repeated to Xiao Lingfeng what Xiao Xixi had said word for word.
After Xiao Lingfeng heard this, the excitement in his heart suddenly disappeared.
Xue said with a bitter face, "Compared to her indifferent attitude, I would rather she resent us."
Because there is hope, there will be disappointment, and because of disappointment, there will be resentment.
But if there is no resentment at all, it means that Xiao Xixi really has no feelings for them.
This is the worst possible outcome for them.
Xiao Lingfeng frowned, obviously feeling very difficult about the current situation.
At this moment, Xiao Zhilan came in with a sachet in her hand: "Mother, did you go to the palace to see your sister just now?"
Xue: “Yes.”
Xiao Zhilan knew that her parents had changed their attitude towards her sister, so she mustered up her courage and said, "I want to see my sister, too. Next time you go to the palace, can you take me with you? This is a sachet I made myself, and I want to give it to my sister."
When Xiao Lingfeng heard this, his heart moved.
He immediately said to Xue: "Next time you go to the palace, bring Xiaolan with you."
Xue was puzzled: "Why?"
"Xiao Lan is different from us. We feel guilty towards Xixi, but Xiao Lan has never felt sorry for Xixi. You should take Xiao Lan to visit Xixi more often, so that Xixi and Xiao Lan can build a closer relationship."
Xue nodded and agreed.
…
Baoqin carefully selected a smoky-colored long dress that trailed on the ground for Xiao Xixi, paired with a moon-white shawl.
Her eyebrows were drawn and her lips were dotted, and a hairpin was inserted into her bun. Pearls and jade hung down, and she wore jade pendants between her ears and jadeite bracelets on her wrists.
Xiao Xixi looked at herself in the mirror and sighed again, saying that makeup is such a magical skill. Look at her now, she is completely different from her usual dull look.
Baoqin asked someone to bring a cloak. She said, "It's a bit cold at night. I've prepared this cloak for you. If you feel cold, put it on."
Xiao Xixi agreed.
After she was dressed up, Baoqin helped her into the sedan chair and went to the Linde Hall in the afterglow of the setting sun.
She met other concubines in the Linding Hall.
All of these concubines were to follow the Crown Prince to attend the Mid-Autumn family dinner. Including Xiao Xixi, there would be a total of six people - four concubines and two concubines.
Concubines of high status like Liangyuan, Meiren, Zhaoxun and Fengyi could only stay in the East Palace obediently. When the time came, the Queen would have someone give them a banquet, so that they could benefit from it.
Seeing Concubine Xiao appear, the other five people all looked at her.
When everyone saw clearly how she was dressed tonight, their eyes immediately turned unfriendly.
Normally, Concubine Xiao didn't pay much attention to her appearance, and she seldom went out to socialize, so everyone's impression of her was just that she was pretty and cute. No one would have thought that after dressing up, Concubine Xiao would look so dazzling.
Even when Qin Liangdi, who was praised as the most beautiful woman in Shengjing, stood in front of her, she was unable to overshadow her.
Qin Liangdi's expression remained unchanged as she bowed gracefully and said, "Greetings to my sister."
Duan Liangdi also bowed reluctantly.
Xiao Xixi didn't care what they were thinking.
Concubine Jing smiled gently and said, "Sister Xiao, you look so beautiful today. Compared to you, the looks of us sisters are not good enough."
The more she said this, the more jealous others became.
Xiao Xixi said seriously, "I also think that I look good in this outfit tonight, but it took too much effort."
Concubine Jing was stunned. She didn't expect Concubine Xiao to admit that she was very beautiful. Shouldn't a normal person be humble?
Adhering to the principle of reciprocity, Concubine Xiao decided to compliment the other person's dress.
"Your outfit today is also good. The green skirt looks particularly fresh and reminds me of freshly picked cucumbers. Especially the color combination of your top, white and light green, isn't this the color of a sliced cucumber?"
Concubine Jing: “…”
Xiao Xixi: "Hey, you also wore red coral bead earrings, which reminds me of red peppers. When you smash cucumbers, add some chopped red peppers, and the taste will be more fragrant."
As she was talking, she actually felt a little hungry.
Concubine Jing was almost angry to death.
What the hell is cucumber?!
She now wished she could slap Concubine Xiao against the wall!
Is there anyone who praises others like this?!
This is basically praising in the open but criticizing in the dark!
The other four concubines all wanted to laugh at this moment, but due to their upbringing, they could only grit their teeth and hold back from laughing out loud.
Xiao Xixi: "And your golden hairpin, its golden color reminds me of corn..."
Concubine Jing could no longer bear it and interrupted her: "Okay, that's enough, stop talking."
Xiao Xixi looked at her eagerly: "Don't you like my praise?"
Concubine Jing wanted to roar, "Do you call that praise? Would anyone praise someone for dressing like a dish?!"
Concubine Jing tried to force a smile: "I appreciate your kindness, but some things should be kept in your heart and not spoken out."
Xiao Xixi nodded obediently: "Okay."
Concubine Jing pressed her chest and told herself to stay calm and not get angry.
This is the Linde Hall, the prince's bedroom. If she loses her temper here, it will definitely disgust the prince.
She couldn't do such a stupid thing.
She tried very hard to suppress the anger in her heart.
She swore that she would never talk to Concubine Xiao unless necessary.
This woman is simply poisonous!
Luo Qinghan changed his clothes and came out.
The concubines came forward to pay their respects.
"I pay my respects to His Royal Highness the Crown Prince."
When they stood up, they couldn't help but be dazzled by the prince's attire.
Tonight, Luo Qinghan was wearing a moon-white wide-sleeved brocade robe and a jade crown on his head. The lapels and cuffs were embroidered with silver patterns.
His figure is as straight as a pine tree, and his eyebrows are as cold as the moon.
This outfit made him look like a handsome young man who had walked out of a painting, full of romantic temperament, which made people fall in love with him at first sight.
Luo Qinghan's gaze swept over and paused on Xiao Xixi.
Xiao Xixi first looked at his moon-white brocade robe, then looked at her own moon-white shawl, thinking that this could be considered as getting the same style, right?
Duan Liangdi took advantage of her recent popularity and took the initiative to talk to the prince.
"Your Highness looks really handsome in this attire tonight."
Luo Qinghan glanced at her and said, "You look good tonight, like a fried egg fresh out of the pan."
Duan Liangdi: “…”
She was wearing a white chiffon skirt tonight, paired with a goose yellow shawl. She originally liked this outfit very much, as it made her look very delicate.
But now that the prince had made such a comparison, she suddenly had the urge to run back and change her clothes.
…
Xianyu will be updated at 12 o'clock every night in the future.
