Chapter 40: The Unlucky Star
During dinner, Xiao Xixi looked at Luo Qinghan from time to time, as if she wanted to say something but hesitated.
Luo Qinghan knew that she wanted to talk about sleeping with the emperor.
He pretended not to notice anything and ate his meal elegantly.
After dinner, Luo Qinghan ordered people to prepare hot soup for bathing.
Baoqin was immediately overjoyed.
The prince wants to bathe here, which means he has to stay in Qingge Palace tonight!
Tonight, the young lady can finally sleep with me!
Baoqin happily went to prepare hot water.
When Luo Qinghan finished his shower and walked into the bedroom, he saw Xiao Xixi already lying on the bed.
Xiao Xixi lay straight with her eyes wide open, like a salted fish that had died with its eyes open.
Luo Qinghan stood beside the bed, looking down at her.
"I haven't slept yet, but you lie down first. That's rude."
Xiao Xixi spread out his hands, made a big letter shape, and closed his eyes, like a warrior ready to die.
"Come on, do whatever you want, don't pity me, I have thick skin and can handle it!"
Isn’t it just a beating?
She just thought she was bitten by a dog.
If she eats two more bowls of rice, she will be a hero again!
Luo Qinghan looked at her stiff appearance and said calmly, "Help me undress."
Xiao Xixi: Oh~
She is about to be fucked, but she still has to serve him by undressing. It is so difficult to be a qualified mistress!
Filled with grief and indignation, she struggled to get up, jumped to the ground, and began to undress him.
Luo Qinghan, who had just finished a shower, had a light mist on his body. The expression between his brows was more relaxed than usual, and the whole person looked a lot softer.
Xiao Xixi touched his hair and found it was wet, and immediately said.
"Let me wipe your hair for you."
After saying this, she didn't wait for Luo Qinghan to respond and ran to get the handkerchief.
She smiled like a hairdresser in a barbershop, and said earnestly, "Your Highness, please take a seat."
Luo Qinghan leaned on the couch, supporting his head with one hand and holding a book with the other, his long hair like dark clouds falling behind him.
Xiao Xixi wrapped Luo Qinghan's long hair with a handkerchief and wiped it gently.
She thought that the prince's hair was so long and thick that it would take a long time to dry it completely. He might have fallen asleep by the time she helped him dry his hair.
As long as he fell asleep, she didn't have to sleep with him.
This plan is perfect!
When the atmosphere was quiet, Luo Qinghan suddenly spoke.
"How is your relationship with your parents?"
Xiao Xixi wiped her hair vigorously while answering, "It's OK."
"If it's still okay, why did your mother throw away the amulet you gave her?"
Xiao Xixi sighed: "Your Highness, some things are better left unsaid. Just know it in your heart."
Luo Qinghan put down the book: "I originally thought that your family had a good relationship. You have been in the palace for more than half a year, and you must be homesick, so I wanted to let your family come to the palace to see you. Now I think it was unnecessary."
"Every family has its own problems. Your Highness is right. It is me who has the problem."
Luo Qinghan saw that Xiao Xixi didn't seem to want to talk about these things. If it were any other time, he would definitely have known better and not asked.
But tonight was different. He really wanted to know how other people got along with their parents.
Luo Qinghan asked: "What's your problem?"
Xiao Xixi didn't say anything.
She carefully helped the prince wipe his hair, her movements extremely gentle and careful, as if she was wiping some rare treasure.
Luo Qinghan did not urge him and just waited quietly.
It took a long time before I heard her utter a word softly.
"Because I am a lonely star."
