Chapter 5: Do you want to eat hot pot?
Xiao Xixi had a feeling that there was something fishy going on in this question, so she forcibly changed the subject: "Your Highness suddenly came to visit, do you have any instructions?"
Luo Qinghan did not answer but asked: "Are you going to stand here and talk to me?"
"Haha, I didn't expect Your Highness to come. I was too excited and forgot the etiquette. It's my fault. Please come in, Your Highness."
Xiao Xixi flattered him while moving aside to make way.
Luo Qinghan raised his foot and stepped over the threshold.
As soon as he walked into the house, he saw the hot pot of spicy hot pot.
Luo Qinghan arrived too suddenly. Even though Xiao Xixi and Bao Qin had tried their best to clean up, they still couldn't find a place to hide the hot pot, so they could only leave it in the middle of the room.
There are a lot of chilies and peppercorns in the hot pot, and a thick layer of red oil floats on the surface.
A rich, spicy smell filled the room.
Xiao Xixi invited enthusiastically: "Your Highness, you haven't eaten yet, right? Would you like to sit down and eat something together?"
Luo Qinghan looked at her expressionlessly.
"Where did you get the pot?"
Xiao Xixi scratched her cheek, her eyes wandering: "That, that's the copper basin for washing face."
Luo Qinghan: “…”
Eunuch Chang: “…”
A group of palace maids and eunuchs: "..."
Luo Qinghan sneered: "You use a washbasin to cook hot pot, and you want to invite me to eat with you?"
Xiao Xixi hurriedly said, "This wash basin is very clean, Your Highness can eat without worry, you will definitely not get an upset stomach!"
Luo Qinghan didn't want to eat.
He glanced at the side dishes and found that they were quite rich, including eggs, chicken, lotus root slices, fish, bok choy, Chinese cabbage, and white radish slices.
“Where do these dishes come from?”
Xiao Xixi asked cautiously, "Can you not tell me?"
Luo Qinghan cruelly refused: "No."
Xiao Xixi sighed: "Well, we raise chickens and fish ourselves, and we can pick up several eggs every day. We also grow lotus roots, small greens, Chinese cabbage, and white radishes ourselves."
"...You raise chickens and grow vegetables in the East Palace?"
There was still no expression on Luo Qinghan's face, but from his eyes, it could be seen that he was doubting his life at this moment.
Xiao Xixi could only laugh awkwardly: "Haha, I'm usually bored, so I raise chickens and ducks and grow some vegetables in the backyard of Qingge Palace."
Luo Qinghan stopped talking.
The atmosphere in the room fell into an eerie silence.
Only the hot pot continued to roll and make gurgling sounds.
After a long while, Luo Qinghan finally spoke, with a hint of gnashing of teeth.
"Someone, go and clear out all the chickens, ducks and vegetable fields in the backyard of Qingge Palace!"
His East Palace must not become someone else's chicken farm!
Xiao Xixi was struck by lightning.
She fell to her knees with a plop, hugged Luo Qinghan's long legs and began to cry and beg.
"Your Highness, please spare those poor chickens, ducks and vegetable fields. They are just children!"
Luo Qinghan: “…”
He has no such child.
He said coldly, "Let go."
Xiao Xixi sobbed, "I raised those chickens, ducks, and vegetables bit by bit. They are the result of my countless efforts. If they are all gone, how can I live in the future? Your Highness, please spare those chickens, ducks, fish, and vegetables for the sake of my helping you avoid a disaster today!"
Luo Qinghan asked: "How do you know that I will be in trouble today?"
"As I said before, your forehead is black, which clearly shows that you have suffered a bloody disaster."
"Can you read faces?"
"I know a thing or two."
Luo Qinghan looked at her and said, "I didn't know that the eldest daughter of General Zhongwu's mansion could actually read faces."
