Chapter 48: Bad Luck is Coming
Xiao Xixi was confused by her sudden enthusiasm.
It's not like she had never seen Concubine Li before, but every time Concubine Li looked down on her and didn't take a little concubine like her seriously at all.
What happened to Concubine Li today? Why was she so enthusiastic about her all of a sudden?
Xiao Xixi couldn't help but look at her carefully.
This glance really made her realize something else.
She noticed that there was a dark spot on Concubine Li's forehead, but because Concubine Li had heavy makeup on, it was not clear and could easily be overlooked if one was not careful.
It looks like Concubine Li is about to be in trouble.
Xiao Xixi was afraid that if she got too close to her, she would suffer the same misfortune as her, so she unnoticeably broke free from her hand, took a step back, distanced herself from her, and put on a polite but fake smile.
"Sister, you're joking. I'm already flattered that you came to visit me. How dare I blame you?"
When Concubine Li saw her attitude of trying to avoid her as much as possible, her heart sank and she was very dissatisfied.
But because the Crown Prince was still watching, Concubine Li did not dare to show it. She could only continue to laugh: "Sister, why are you standing so far away? I won't eat you."
Then she turned around and said to Luo Qinghan coquettishly,
"Sister Xiao is good in everything except that she is too timid and doesn't like to talk. She usually stays in Qingge Palace and rarely interacts with us sisters. This is not good. We are all family and we should interact more. In the future, I will come to Qingge Palace often to play with Sister Xiao, so that Sister Xiao won't be too bored alone. Your Highness, what do you think?"
Even though she was complaining, her tone was soft and tender, and coupled with her seductive eyes, it sounded like she was acting coquettishly.
Luo Qinghan didn't even look at her and asked Xiao Xixi directly.
"Do you want to hang out with them?"
Xiao Xixi answered truthfully: "No."
She just wants to be a salted fish quietly and doesn't want to be disturbed by anyone.
Luo Qinghan was quite satisfied with this answer.
He liked to see her not fighting or competing, unlike his brothers who would do anything to fight for the position of crown prince.
"If you don't want to, then there's no need to keep in touch. Just live your life peacefully."
Xiao Xixi's eyes lit up and she nodded vigorously: "I don't have any other abilities, I'm just very obedient!"
Luo Qinghan looked at her well-behaved and docile appearance, and his originally depressed mood eased a little.
He walked over, lifted his clothes and sat on the cushion.
Xiao Xixi poured him tea and asked eagerly.
"Your Highness, you have come here at this hour, so you probably haven't had lunch yet, right? Would you like to stay and have lunch with me?"
Luo Qinghan replied calmly: "Yeah."
Xiao Xixi quite likes having dinner with him.
Normally when she ate alone, she would only have three dishes and one soup, but if the prince came, she would have seven dishes and one soup. He couldn't eat much, so in the end she got all the food.
Xiao Xixi said with sparkling eyes: "Your Highness, do you want to eat chicken? I will ask Baoqin to kill a chicken."
Luo Qinghan remembered that there were many chickens and ducks raised behind Qingge Palace, and he felt complicated.
He said, "I don't want to eat chicken today."
Xiao Xixi didn't give up: "What about duck meat? If that doesn't work, fish will work too!"
“You guys also raise fish?”
"Yes, there happens to be a small pond in the backyard. We planted lotus roots and raised fish in it. If we catch the fish now, we can kill and eat them right away. They are very fresh. Would you like to have one, Your Highness?"
