Chapter 53: Honesty
Xiao Xixi peeled two sunflower seeds and put them into her mouth, eating them with great satisfaction.
Luo Qinghan looked at the sunflowers.
He originally thought that these sunflowers were for viewing, but he didn't expect Xiao Xixi to use them as a source of food.
This woman is truly a foodie.
Xiao Xixi ate sunflower seeds as an after-meal snack and accompanied the prince for a walk.
Luo Qinghan listened to the cries of chickens and ducks, as well as the sound of the woman beside him cracking melon seeds, and his mood was unexpectedly relaxed and peaceful.
During lunch break, Xiao Xixi took the initiative to apply to sleep on the low couch.
Although they had the experience of sleeping in the same bed last night, and there was no difference between sleeping once and twice, but if she had a choice, she would still prefer to sleep alone.
Luo Qinghan looked at her steadily: "Why don't you want to sleep with me? Do you think there is something wrong with me?"
Xiao Xixi said shyly, "Your Highness is the most perfect man in the world in my heart. Even if I stare at you for three days and three nights, I can't see any flaws in you. I don't sleep with you because I don't sleep well and I'm afraid of disturbing your rest."
"It's okay. I don't dislike you."
Xiao Xixi was speechless.
It seemed that this man was not going to let her go easily.
She could only accept her fate.
Luo Qinghan stretched out his arms: "Let me get dressed."
Xiao Xixi obediently helped him undress and waited for him to go to bed to rest.
She lay down beside him.
There was still a full foot of distance between the two of them.
Xiao Xixi lay straight, not daring to move, until the man beside her closed his eyes and did not move for a long time, she relaxed a little.
She rolled her eyes and looked at the man sleeping quietly beside her.
This man usually gives people a cold and frosty feeling, and is very difficult to approach. At this moment, he closed his eyes, and the cold and lonely feeling faded a lot, and his whole person became gentle and quiet.
Xiao Xixi couldn't help but sigh.
He's cuter when he's asleep.
She fell asleep without realizing it.
When her breathing had completely calmed down, Luo Qinghan, who had fallen asleep, quietly opened his eyes.
He stared quietly at the woman beside him.
There are many women in the East Palace, but not one of them can really sleep with him.
It's not because he looks down on those women, but because he doesn't trust them.
He didn't know how many spies were hidden among those women.
He also had no idea what intentions those women had towards him.
The woman in front of him actually had other purposes, but she was different from those hypocritical women. She put her purpose honestly on the table. She would not deliberately hide it in front of him. She let him see her honesty.
Luo Qinghan liked her honesty.
In this palace where even fathers and sons and brothers fight against each other for power, her honesty is extremely precious.
He didn't know how long she could remain honest.
He only hoped that she could keep it up a little longer and not change beyond recognition so quickly.
When Xiao Xixi woke up, the man beside her was gone.
Baoqin helped her get up and change her clothes, and said with a smile.
"My lady was really amazing just now. She took care of Concubine Li in just a few moves."
Xiao Xixi hadn't fully woken up yet, her mind was still a little groggy. She yawned, not quite understanding what Baoqin was saying.
Baoqin said happily, "My lady, you don't know. Just now, I heard that Concubine Li fell ill after returning home. I asked the imperial physician to treat her. It seems that she won't be well for a while. First Chen Liangyuan was punished, then Concubine Bai fell ill, and now even Concubine Li has fallen ill. Hehe, you will be the most favored one in the backyard of the East Palace from now on. If you work harder, you may be able to win the position of Crown Princess."
