Chapter 354: Getting an advantage and still acting cute
When the maid came to remind her that the banquet was about to end, Concubine Zhao reluctantly said goodbye to Concubine Chu.
Chu Ji personally saw her out of the hospital and gave her repeated instructions.
"Please come and play more often when you have time!"
Lady Zhao smiled and said yes.
At this time, the banquet was coming to an end, and everyone said goodbye and left one after another. The Crown Prince also walked out of Tongxi Pavilion with Concubine Xiao.
Concubine Zhao followed the large group out of the palace.
They went to the palace in a carriage.
That night, they rested in the palace.
The largest bedroom in the palace is reserved for the emperor to live in. When the emperor is not here, Luo Qinghan, as the crown prince, can live in it.
But Luo Qinghan still avoided that bedroom and chose to live in the slightly smaller Huaxianju next to it.
Xiao Xixi also moved into Huaxianju.
Their luggage had already been moved into the palace.
There is a hot spring in the palace. The hot spring water is drawn down from the mountain. King Chenliu spent a lot of effort to build it.
This hot spring is also divided into levels. The large pool in the middle is exclusive to the emperor, the slightly smaller one next to it is exclusive to the crown prince, and there are also pools exclusively for princes and ministers.
As for the pool used by concubines, it was in another room.
Xiao Xixi ran to the next room, took off her clothes, and walked up the stairs into the bathtub.
She soaked her whole body in the warm hot water and felt all the pores open up.
She closed her eyes and sighed comfortably.
In the bathroom next door, the Crown Prince, the Eldest Prince, Xiao Lingfeng, Zhao Xian and others were also taking a bath.
They stayed in their respective pools, clearly separated from each other.
Luo Yechen looked at the prince's pool and felt jealous. It was good to be a prince. Even the bathing pool was bigger than his!
As a man, it is inevitable to tell some dirty jokes while taking a bath.
Luo Yechen pulled Xiao Lingfeng and Zhao Xian aside to tell dirty jokes. Xiao Lingfeng and Zhao Xian were originally a little concerned about the crown prince, fearing that he could not accept these dirty words, and did not dare to respond to the eldest prince.
Later, seeing that the prince had been resting with his eyes closed, as if he didn't take their dirty talk to heart, they gradually relaxed and started chatting with the eldest prince.
Just when they were chatting happily, the prince suddenly asked a question.
"Do you think I'm ugly?"
All three of them were stunned.
Luo Yechen was unhappy: "What do you mean by that? Are you trying to show off your looks to me? Why should a man be so good-looking? Good looks can't be used to make a living!"
The sourness in these words is almost enough to make people die of jealousy.
Zhao Xian and Xiao Lingfeng looked at each other.
Xiao Lingfeng asked tentatively: "Why does Your Highness have such doubts?"
Luo Qinghan did not answer.
Xiao Lingfeng swore, "Your Highness the Crown Prince is extremely handsome, and there is absolutely no trace of the word ugly!"
Zhao Xian half-jokingly said, "Your Highness has a handsome appearance and an extraordinary temperament. I have never seen a man who is more handsome than you. If you are considered ugly, then I will not be able to live like this."
Luo Qinghan remained silent.
He also thought he looked good, but why did Xiao Xixi think he was ugly?
Is there something wrong with her aesthetic?
Seeing that everyone was praising the prince, Luo Yechen felt even more jealous and couldn't help but whispered: "We are all men, instead of comparing our looks, why not compare our looks?"
Zhao Xian and Xiao Lingfeng looked at him with indescribable eyes.
My prince, please shut up!
Luo Qinghan glanced at Luo Yechen coldly, without saying anything, he stood up and slowly walked out of the bathtub.
Luo Yechen took the opportunity to glance at him, and then couldn't help but curse in his heart.
I actually lost!
I'm obviously the big brother, why can't I be better than him? !
God has let me down!
…
Luo Qinghan put on his clothes and went straight through the side door into the bathroom next door.
Xiao Xixi was the only one taking a bath in this bathroom.
She was soaking in the water, her back against the pool wall, her face tilted upwards, with a small, hot, wet towel on her forehead.
The hot spring water was so comfortable that she couldn't help falling asleep.
Luo Qinghan walked behind her and looked down at her. From this angle, he could just see the white skin on her chest and her graceful body looming in the hot spring water.
He just stared at it for a long time.
It was not until the sound of the eldest prince and others leaving was heard from next door that Luo Qinghan spoke, his voice clear and cold.
"If you keep soaking in it, your skin will become wrinkled."
Xiao Xixi opened her eyes and immediately saw His Royal Highness the Crown Prince standing behind her.
The two looked at each other.
Xiao Xixi was stunned at first, but then she reacted and dived into the bathtub, leaving only her head exposed.
"When did your highness come? Why didn't you say anything?!"
Luo Qinghan: "You were so absorbed in the bath that you didn't even notice someone had entered the room. Luckily it was me. If it was another man, I wonder what you would have done."
Xiao Xixi thought, what’s the difference between you and other men?
She folded her arms across her chest and submerged her chin in the water. When she spoke, her lower lip could touch the hot spring water.
"Your Highness, can you please step out for a moment? I want to get dressed."
Luo Qinghan: "You have already seen me naked, what does it matter if I look at you?"
Xiao Xixi was stunned by his shameless remarks.
It took her a long while to finally speak: "I didn't take the initiative to see you. You insisted that I help you bathe and change clothes. I didn't really want to see you."
Luo Qinghan sneered: "You are a typical person who takes advantage of others and still acts ungratefully."
Xiao Xixi: “…”
What advantage did she get? What good deeds did she do?
She understood every word His Highness said, but why didn't she understand when they put it together?
Luo Qinghan: "Isn't my figure good?"
Xiao Xixi: "Very, very good."
Luo Qinghan: "Since you think it's good, it means you are very satisfied with my figure. Doesn't this mean you got a bargain?"
Xiao Xixi was speechless.
Xiao Xixi said with difficulty: "I can pay."
Luo Qinghan: “…”
Luo Qinghan laughed in anger: "Who do you think I am? You actually want to pay?"
Xiao Xixi was frightened by his smile. She couldn't help but move back and said timidly, "No, didn't you say that I took advantage of you? As long as the money and goods are cleared, I won't be considered taking advantage of you."
"So in your eyes, I am a commodity that can be traded with money."
"That's not me, that's not me, please don't misunderstand me!"
Facing Xiao Xixi's three consecutive denials, Luo Qinghan just wanted to sneer: "Your performance tonight was excellent. First you mocked me for being ugly, and now you treat me as a commodity that can be traded. You are really getting more and more promising. Come here."
The prince now exudes a dangerous aura. How could Xiao Xixi dare to go over to him? Wouldn't it be courting death? !
She quickly stepped back: "Your Highness, we are all civilized people. If we have something to say, please talk in a nice way and don't use violence."
…
By the way, please give me another monthly ticket!
