Chapter 317 Will She Take Revenge on You?
After Xiao Xixi returned to Qingge Palace, Baoqin immediately came forward and asked nervously.
"Your Majesty, are you okay? Did the Queen do anything to you?"
Xiao Xixi comforted him, "I'm fine, don't worry!"
Baoqin let out a long sigh: "I'm glad you're okay."
Xiao Xixi climbed onto the couch skillfully and lay down, then picked up the storybook next to her and started reading.
Baoqin brought a blanket to cover her and said, "The general's wife has gone back."
Xiao Xixi responded casually: "Oh."
Baoqin took a step back and knelt down.
"I did not follow the instructions of the queen and informed the Crown Prince without permission. I deserve to die. Please punish me."
Xiao Xixi moved her eyes from the book to her, and said helplessly: "Forget it, things have come to this point, even if I punish you, it will be useless."
Baoqin said seriously: "It is my fault. I am willing to be punished! But if I were to choose again, I would still do the same. In my heart, the safety of the queen is more important than anything else!"
"I know what you mean. I don't blame you. Get up."
Baoqin stood up when she saw that she really had no intention of blaming her.
Baoqin hesitated, but still asked cautiously, "Did the prince and the queen really fall out?"
Xiao Xixi: "Well, I guess this time they've completely fallen out."
Baoqin was very worried: "Will the Queen bear a grudge against you? Will she take revenge on you?"
"I don't know, but judging from the Queen's expression, I don't think she will let me go easily."
Baoqin's eyes immediately turned red with anxiety: "What should I do? The prince saved you this time, but what about next time? The prince can't stay by your side every day. What if one day the prince is not by your side and the queen wants to attack you? What should I do?"
Xiao Xixi agreed: "You make sense, this is indeed a problem."
Baoqin: "Do you have any solution?"
"No."
After saying this, Xiao Xixi continued to read her storybook.
Baoqin asked anxiously, "Don't you want to think of a solution?"
Xiao Xixi responded casually: "Yeah, I'm thinking about it."
"You were just reading a storybook, not thinking at all."
Xiao Xixi: "I was reading the storybook while thinking about something. My little brain is really amazing. It can do two things at once!"
Baoqin was extremely anxious, but when she heard this, she didn't know whether to laugh or cry.
Seeing how calm Concubine Xiao was, she thought that maybe Concubine Xiao had some hidden cards. After all, Concubine Xiao was a member of the Xuanmen sect, so it was impossible for her not to have some tricks to save her life.
As she thought about it, Baoqin gradually calmed down.
She stopped urging Concubine Xiao to find a solution and turned into the small kitchen to prepare today's dinner.
…
The Yulin Guards were very efficient and got results the next day.
Zhao Xian said respectfully, "Reporting to His Royal Highness, according to my investigation, the rumors about Concubine Xiao in the city first spread from the Jing family."
Luo Qinghan put down the file in his hand: "Is it Master Jing's family?"
"Yes."
After Zhao Xian left, Luo Qinghan called Eunuch Chang and asked.
"What has Concubine Jing been doing lately?"
Eunuch Chang answered truthfully, "Concubine Jing has been staying in Wanhe Palace painting recently and has never left the house."
"Did the Jing family send anyone to the palace to see her?"
Eunuch Chang: "Never."
Luo Qinghan: "Has she met anyone recently?"
Eunuch Chang thought about it and quickly remembered: "Concubine Jing has been getting close to Chen Liangyuan recently. Chen Liangyuan goes to Wanhe Palace to talk to Concubine Jing almost every day."
Luo Qinghan probably had an idea in his mind.
He said calmly, "Call Chen Liangyuan to sleep with me tonight."
Eunuch Chang: "Yes."
In Yulu Tower, Chen Liangyuan was extremely surprised to learn that she was summoned to the bedchamber tonight.
Since she entered the palace, she has never been summoned by the prince. Tonight is the first time!
Chen Liangyuan was so excited that everyone in Yulu Tower was also beaming with joy.
"Rouju, please help me choose what to wear tonight."
The palace maid Rouju quickly opened the wardrobe and took out the clothes one by one for Chen Liangyuan to choose from.
Rouju picked up a light red chest-length skirt and said, "My lady, this color suits you very well, and it makes your skin look especially fair."
Chen Liangyuan frowned and said, "This color is too gaudy, it's not good."
"What about this light yellow dress? It will definitely make you look more delicate when you wear it."
"No, no, last time Duan Liangdi wore a light yellow skirt, and the prince said it looked like a fried egg."
"How about this dress? The ice blue color makes you look particularly fresh and elegant."
"No, the prince probably won't like this color."
…
In order to choose a suitable dress, the master and servant took out almost all the dresses to choose from.
In the end, there was not a single dress that satisfied Chen Liangyuan.
Chen Liangyuan said angrily: "All the good things in the palace were divided up by the four concubines. The things that were given to me were all inferior goods, including skirts and fabrics. Look at these clothes, what kind of rubbish are they?!"
Rouju lowered her head and dared not speak.
Although she was very dissatisfied, Chen Liangyuan had no other choice. At night, she could only reluctantly pick out a pink and purple chiffon dress from the pile of clothes that were called "junk".
In order to make her figure look more slender and graceful, Chen Liangyuan deliberately skipped dinner and didn't even dare to drink a sip of water.
She sat in front of the dressing mirror for a full hour and finally put on a look that satisfied her.
Rouju praised: "My lady, you are so beautiful tonight. The prince will surely be fascinated by your appearance when he sees you."
Chen Liangyuan looked at herself in the mirror, raised her red lips and smiled proudly.
In the past, she was not favored in the East Palace and her position was neither high nor low, so she could only survive by following others.
But after tonight, everything is different.
From now on, she will no longer be dependent on others, but others will be dependent on her!
A young eunuch walked to the door and said respectfully.
"My Lord, His Highness has sent someone to pick you up."
Chen Liangyuan stood up, raised her chin slightly, with a smug smile on her lips, and walked out of Yulu Tower gracefully.
With the help of Rouju, she got into the carriage.
Soon she was sent to Linde Hall.
Chen Liangyuan walked into the bedroom with full of anticipation and excitement.
The prince was sitting behind a low table with some wine and food on it.
Chen Liangyuan stepped forward and saluted: "I pay my respects to His Royal Highness the Crown Prince."
Luo Qinghan: "Sit down."
Chen Liangyuan wanted to sit next to him, but when she met his cold eyes, she backed off.
She could only kneel down in front of him in disappointment.
Chen Liangyuan stretched out her slender hand, picked up the wine jug, and poured wine for the prince.
She would steal a glance at the prince from time to time.
Seeing the prince's handsome and flawless face, her heart beat faster.
