Chapter 36 Thank you for your kindness, Your Highness
Baoqin secretly thought that this was not good. Everything her master said just now was heard by the prince. Would the prince be displeased with her master because of this?
But then again, this prince is really something. Every time he comes to Qingge Palace, he is silent, and every time he comes in at the critical moment. If this continues, she will not dare to chat nonsense with her master in the future.
Xiao Xixi smiled shyly: "I married into the East Palace because I admired the Crown Prince's heroic spirit and talent. Living a life of idleness and waiting for death is just a matter of course."
Luo Qinghan waved his hand, and all the extra people in the room left.
He lifted up his shirt and sat cross-legged on the cushion.
Xiao Xixi poured him tea.
"Your Highness seems to be in a good mood today."
Luo Qinghan said calmly: "It's not bad."
He looked at the woman in front of him and saw that her face was rosy and shiny.
"You seem to be recovering well."
Xiao Xixi immediately took out a silk handkerchief to cover her mouth and nose, coughed twice, and pretended to be weak and said: "I only look okay, but I am actually still very weak inside. I need a long time to rest."
Luo Qinghan has now seen through the lazy nature of this woman and turned a blind eye to her performance.
"Now that you are well, you should be able to serve me in bed."
Xiao Xixi was so frightened that she couldn't catch her breath and started coughing violently.
This time it was a real cough.
Luo Qinghan pushed the unfinished cup of tea in front of him towards her, motioning for her to drink some water to moisten her throat.
Xiao Xixi coughed until her face turned red and it took her a while to recover.
"Your Highness, please don't joke like that. It's too scary."
Luo Qinghan asked: "I just asked you to sleep with me, why is it so scary?"
Xiao Xixi wanted to say that she was not yet an adult, but in this era, women were considered to have reached marriageable age at the age of sixteen, and she was exactly sixteen this year, so it was obviously not feasible to use this excuse to shirk responsibility.
She said with a bitter face: "I am afraid of pain."
"Just bear with it and it will pass."
Look, is this human language?!
Xiao Xixi knew that she couldn't escape today. There was no one else here, so she simply made up her mind, knelt on the ground, and begged pitifully.
"The reason I entered the palace was to help the Crown Prince ascend the throne. As for the rest, I dare not ask for it, nor do I want it."
Luo Qinghan raised her chin and her voice was clear and powerful.
"Whatever I give you, you have to take it even if you don't want it."
Xiao Xixi wanted to cry but had no tears.
Luo Qinghan's fingertips brushed across her lips, and he said calmly, "Since you have entered the East Palace, you are my woman. It is only a matter of time before you sleep with me. Don't you understand this simple truth?"
Understanding is one thing, but putting it into practice is another.
Xiao Xixi pursed her lips and said nothing.
Luo Qinghan released her chin, wiped the remaining warmth from his fingers with a silk handkerchief, and spoke calmly.
"If you want to get something, you must pay for it. If you want to gain my trust, you must show me your sincerity. If you can't even sleep with me, how can I believe that you really care about me?"
His tone didn't sound like a husband talking to his concubine, but more like a teacher teaching a student how to behave.
Xiao Xixi was speechless.
Luo Qinghan still had a lot of things to do, so he didn't stay for long before getting up and leaving.
Before leaving, he seemed to remember something and suddenly said to Xiao Xixi.
"I have told General Zhongwu about your poisoning. Someone from the General's Mansion should come to the palace to visit you this afternoon. This is your reward for blocking the poisoned wine for me."
Xiao Xixi bowed: "Thank you for your kindness, Your Highness."
