Chapter 407 New Year's Eve
Luo Yechen roared angrily: "Who are you calling ugly?!"
Xiao Xixi's ears hurt from the noise.
She rubbed her ear and reminded him, "Speak softly, don't let the prince hear it."
Luo Yechen was so angry that his chest rose and fell violently. He said viciously: "Don't try to change the subject! Tell me clearly, who is ugly?"
Xiao Xixi looked at him helplessly: "Okay, okay, I am ugly, are you satisfied with this?"
Luo Yechen became even more annoyed.
She said that she was ugly, but her tone was perfunctory and not sincere at all, as if she was forced to admit that she was ugly.
He pounded the bed angrily: "Get out! This is my room, I don't want to see you!"
Xiao Xixi: "No, my books are all here with you. If I leave, I will have nothing to read."
"You can take your book with you!"
Xiao Xixi still shook her head: "This won't work either, the prince will find out."
Luo Yechen: "If you don't leave, I will go and complain to the prince, saying that you hid a box of obscene books with me!"
Xiao Xixi looked at him in surprise: "Are you going to die with me?"
Luo Yechen sneered: "Who will perish with you? You are the only one who is unlucky, and I am just watching the show from the side."
Xiao Xixi said seriously: "If you complain to the prince, he will know that you have also read these books. You should know that there are many strange books in here. If outsiders knew that the eldest prince actually read such strange books, what would they think of you?"
Luo Yechen: “…”
He felt suffocated when he thought of that scene.
His momentum was waning at a speed visible to the naked eye.
Xiao Xixi advised kindly: "As long as you don't tell anyone and I don't tell anyone, no one will know that we have read these books. Let's keep this secret together and be best friends, how about that?"
Luo Yechen couldn't vent his anger now, and could only say aggrievedly: "You and I are not friends!"
He is handsome and has no trace of ugly in his appearance. He doesn't want to be friends with her!
Seeing that he had given up the idea of reporting her, Xiao Xixi felt relieved and continued to read the storybook attentively.
With one more person in the room, Luo Yechen no longer had the heart to read the storybook.
His eyes lingered on Concubine Xiao.
He suddenly asked, "Do you know martial arts?"
Xiao Xixi stared at the book in her hand without blinking and replied casually, "Yeah."
"Where did you learn martial arts?"
Xiao Xixi: "Guess."
Luo Yechen: "I don't want to guess."
Xiao Xixi: "You can't guess it."
Luo Yechen was furious: "Don't look down on me. I am the eldest prince, how could I not guess it? I just don't bother to guess such trivial things as yours."
Xiao Xixi suddenly laughed.
Luo Yechen became even more annoyed: "Are you laughing at me?"
Xiao Xixi laughed and said, "No, I just saw a funny plot and couldn't help laughing."
Luo Yechen didn't believe it: "You must be making fun of me!"
Xiao Xixi walked over with the storybook and showed him the funnier part of the plot.
Luo Yechen was calm after reading it: "What's so funny about this? Isn't it just a female demon confessing her love to a scholar? This plot is too old-fashioned, I have seen it countless times!"
Xiao Xixi: "Just keep reading. The female fairy accidentally pulled off the scholar's pants, and then she showed a look of disgust. Then, she ate the scholar in one bite. Hahaha! Don't you think it's funny?"
Luo Yechen: “…”
Not only was it not funny, it also felt a bit creepy.
Seeing that she was still laughing, Luo Yechen couldn't help but said, "Don't you think that scholar is pitiful? He was eaten by a goblin for no apparent reason."
Xiao Xixi: "I don't think so. This scholar is not a good person. He has a wife and children at home, but he still runs out to fool around with a female demon. He deserves to be eaten."
Luo Yechen couldn't understand her way of thinking, and frowned as he said, "Isn't it normal for a man to have three wives and four concubines? Even if the scholar has a wife and children at home, he can still take concubines. He and the female fairy are in love with each other, and he didn't force her, so how can he deserve to be eaten?"
Xiao Xixi knew that this matter was difficult to explain, and she didn't have much of a competitive spirit anyway, so she simply took a step back.
"You have a point, but I don't like that kind of plot. I prefer the plot in this storybook."
Luo Yechen: "I think your vision is very problematic. There are so many books about love between men and women, but you have to read a book about cannibalism."
Xiao Xixi: "Isn't it good to eat people? If I love you, I want to eat you into my stomach. How exciting!"
Luo Yechen: “…”
He seemed to be shocked by her words, and was so frightened that he couldn't speak for a long time.
He suddenly became a little worried about the prince's safety.
Just then, a notification came from outside the door.
"His Royal Highness the Crown Prince has arrived!"
Xiao Xixi and Luo Yechen were both frightened.
The two of them stuffed the books in their hands under their pillows without even thinking about it.
Luo Yechen said angrily: "This is my pillow, hide it somewhere else!"
Xiao Xixi could only stuff the book into the quilt beside her, then jumped up and moved away from the bed.
The door was pushed open and Luo Qinghan walked in.
He already knew that Xiao Xixi was in the eldest prince's room, and he came here just to find Xiao Xixi.
His eyes swept over Xiao Xixi and Luo Yechen and found that the two of them were evasive, as if they were hiding some secret.
Xiao Xixi bowed and said, "I pay my respects to His Royal Highness the Crown Prince."
Luo Qinghan asked calmly: "Why did you come here?"
Xiao Xixi: "I am bored, so I came to visit the eldest prince."
Luo Qinghan then looked at the eldest prince lying on the bed and asked, "How is your injury?"
Luo Yechen didn't dare to look him in the eye. He glanced to the side and pretended to be calm: "It's much better now."
Luo Qinghan: "Tonight is New Year's Eve. I plan to stay in Huaizhao County for one night, celebrate the New Year here, and continue my journey tomorrow morning."
After hearing him say this, Xiao Xixi remembered that today was New Year's Eve.
Time flies so fast, and this year is about to pass.
Xiao Xixi immediately forgot about the storybook and asked expectantly, "Since it's New Year's Eve, are we going to have a New Year's Eve dinner tonight?"
Luo Qinghan responded, "Well, I have asked the imperial chef to prepare it. I heard from the local county magistrate that there will be a show near the City God Temple tonight. If you want to watch it, after we finish the New Year's Eve dinner, we will go to the temple fair."
Xiao Xixi nodded vigorously: "Okay, okay!"
Luo Yechen was unwilling to be lonely, and said angrily: "I am a living person staying here, why don't you ask me if I want to go?"
