Chapter 528 This woman dares to say anything to win favor
Concubine Bai said softly.
"I heard that the Queen Mother's birthday banquet will be held this year. Not only will people from our palace attend, but civil and military officials and envoys from various countries will also come to pay their respects. It would be too monotonous if we just play the piano. I think it would be better if we could find a few more people to play together."
Concubine Jing: "It's fine to play together, but I don't want Concubine Xiao to join."
Concubine Bai covered her mouth and chuckled: "Why? I think Concubine Xiao plays the Surnai very well. During the last Mid-Autumn Festival family banquet, even the emperor personally praised Concubine Xiao's Surnai."
Concubine Jing knew that this woman was deliberately using Concubine Xiao to disgust her.
But she had no way to refute it and could only swallow her anger.
"Concubine Xiao's sur nai is indeed very good, but it is not appropriate to play sur nai at a birthday banquet. Your Highness, please think twice."
The topic was pushed back to the prince.
Luo Qinghan said calmly: "You came all the way to see me just for this little thing?"
Concubine Jing hurriedly said, "The Emperor attaches great importance to this birthday banquet. I dare not make a decision on my own. I can only boldly ask Your Highness to help me make a decision."
Concubine Bai also said: "After all, I am just a woman. When faced with such an important matter, I really can't make up my mind. I hope Your Highness can help me with some advice."
Luo Qinghan: "Since your conflict is caused by Concubine Xiao, let Concubine Xiao make the decision herself."
He asked Eunuch Chang to call Concubine Xiao.
Xiao Xixi had just woken up and was still a little dizzy. When she heard that the prince wanted to see her, she went out in a daze.
She walked into the side hall and was a little surprised to see Concubine Bai and Concubine Jing there.
"Are your two sisters still here?"
She thought the two men had just finished talking and left.
Seeing a strand of hair stuck to her right cheek, Luo Qinghan reached out to help her push the hair behind her ear.
The movements were skillful and natural, as if they had been done many times, and there was an indescribable feeling of intimacy.
This scene made Concubine Jing and Concubine Bai full of jealousy.
Especially Concubine Bai, she was so jealous that she clutched her sleeves tightly with her fingers, wishing she could replace Concubine Xiao!
Luo Qinghan whispered the general story of the dispute between Concubine Bai and Concubine Jing.
"You make your own decision on this matter."
The prince actually gave the decision-making power to Xiao Xixi.
This kind of equal treatment, which only occurs between husband and wife, made Concubine Jing and Concubine Bai feel strongly unbalanced.
They are all concubines, so why does the prince treat Concubine Xiao differently?
Does the Crown Prince really intend to make Concubine Xiao the Crown Princess?
Thinking of this, Concubine Jing and Concubine Bai looked at Concubine Xiao with even more unfriendly eyes.
Xiao Xixi said without much hesitation, "Last time, the Mid-Autumn Festival family banquet was attended by all family members, so it was okay for me to go on stage and perform a show, just as a way to entertain my parents. But this time, many outsiders have been invited to the birthday banquet, so it's better for me not to show up. Anyway, there are many musicians and dancers in the palace, and their performances are enough. If it doesn't work, we can go outside the palace to find a troupe or acrobatic troupe. There's no need for me to compete with them for business."
The speaker may not have any intention, but the listener may take it seriously.
Concubine Jing and Concubine Bai both felt that Concubine Xiao was deliberately mocking them. As a concubine of the Crown Prince, she had to compete with actors for work. How despicable was that!
Both of them changed their expressions.
Concubine Bai said in a trembling voice: "Sister, if you don't want to perform, just say so. There's no need to use such words to squeeze us."
Concubine Jing also seemed to have suffered a great injustice. She bit her lower lip and spoke with forbearance.
"We didn't mean to show off. We just wanted to take this opportunity to contribute to the birthday party. It's fine if my sister doesn't want to help, but why do you have to compare us to actors? How can you treat others so badly?"
Xiao Xixi was confused by them and tried hard to explain.
"I'm not bullying you, and I don't have any prejudice against actors. They make a living by their skills and live an upright life. How can there be anything wrong with that?"
She herself is just a salted fish who eats and waits for death, how can she have the face to look down on those who work diligently and make a living by their craft? !
Concubine Jing's expression became even uglier: "Are you mocking us for being worse than an actor?"
Concubine Bai's beautiful eyes were filled with tears, and her slender and fragile body was like a white lotus swaying in the wind.
"It turns out that in Sister Xiao's eyes, we are not even as good as the most humble actors."
Xiao Xixi scratched her head. Why was this matter getting worse and worse?
She really couldn't explain it clearly, so she could only start making fun of herself.
"To be honest, I really feel that I am not as good as other actors. After all, other actors can support themselves with their skills, while I can only rely on others to survive.
Others are independent and strong pines and cypresses, while I am just a weak dodder that depends on others.
If I hadn't met His Royal Highness, I would not even have a full meal, and I would be somewhere fortune-telling to make a living."
Having said that, Xiao Xixi took the prince's hand and held it tightly, her almond-shaped eyes sparkling and her gaze extremely sincere.
"Meeting you is the luck of my life."
Luo Qinghan: “…”
Concubine Jing: “…”
Concubine Bai: "..."
This woman is so shameless, she can even say such disgusting words, isn't it disgusting? !
In fact, the prince not only did not feel disgusted, but even felt sweet in his heart.
He said calmly, "Some things are better left unsaid."
Xiao Xixi: "No, I just want to say it. I am very lucky to have met you. As long as I see you, no matter how bad it is, I think everything will be fine and I can face it with a smile."
Concubine Jing and Concubine Bai couldn't bear to watch it anymore.
This woman is so shameless that she would say anything to win favor!
But the prince seemed to be enjoying it.
This scene is really exciting.
Concubine Jing was afraid that if she stayed any longer, she would be so nauseated that she would vomit up the overnight meal.
She quickly found an excuse and ran away.
Concubine Bai didn't want to leave. Her eyes kept moving between the Crown Prince and Concubine Xiao. She couldn't believe that the Crown Prince actually liked this kind of woman.
She had always thought that the prince should like gentle, introverted, well-educated and sensible women.
But she didn't expect that the prince would be interested in a frivolous and superficial woman like Xiao Xixi.
Concubine Bai was unwilling to believe that there was something wrong with the prince's taste. She could only attribute it all to the fact that Concubine Xiao was too scheming and deliberately used sweet words to seduce the prince.
It was just sweet talk, and she could say it as long as the prince liked to hear it.
Concubine Bai opened her mouth and said, "Your Highness, I also..."
Luo Qinghan turned around and looked at her, frowning.
"Why haven't you left yet?"
Concubine Bai: "..."
System: Concubine Bai suffered critical damage and fell to the ground.
